Let's face it, the online world is a gold mine of opportunity. As a friend told me, never before in mankind's history had we so many choices of what to do. From building a thriving side hustle to creating a full-fledged empire, the potential for wealth creation is undeniable. But for many, the path to online riches is paved with a crippling fear—the fear of failure, the fear of judgment, the fear of simply not being good enough.
Fear. It's a primal emotion, a built-in survival mechanism that has kept us safe for millennia. But in the pursuit of online success, that same fear can become a crippling roadblock, preventing us from taking the risks necessary to build the life we dream of.
Napoleon Hill, in his groundbreaking work “Think and Grow Rich,” identified fear as one of the six basic fears that hold people back from achieving their full potential. Hill also offered powerful strategies for overcoming fear and harnessing its energy to propel us forward.
Memes are the ultimate, overlooked marketing method you need to consider for your business or brand. It is dirt cheap compared to the impact it can have. A single one can go viral in a matter of minutes, being shared, downloaded, uploaded, and viewed by literally tens of millions of people. They last for years on the internet, constantly reminding people about something.
Let that something be your business.
One of my study topics is blockchains and cryptocurrency. In the past year or three, I learned a wealth about this new money that will inevitably become our default method of payment this decade.
Slightly off-topic: I am subscribed to the RSS feeds of almost 250 websites, mostly news ones, and around 50 websites dealing with blockchains and cryptocurrencies.
Obviously it is impossible to work through 5000+ news articles per day, but an RSS reader is very handy to spot trending and breaking news. It's great to check in on favorite websites without having to subscribe to their annoying email newsletters. If you want a great (and free!) RSS reader yourself, get either FeedBro or Bamboo's add-ons. I use both on two different browsers on my laptop and can recommend both RSS readers wholeheartedly. I also use InoReader, which works on the freemium model, on my cellphone. It was the best out of the 20 most popular ones I reviewed three years ago.
Back to the topic of the day.
I browsed a few feeds from crypto sites, then checked out articles I found interesting. So here is a summary, with a blurb of why I found each article noteworthy.
Are you looking for ways to make money online without any upfront capital? I have 10 practical ideas that can help you start earning cash quickly and with minimal effort.
I kept on postponing writing this article, because I couldn't decide if… LOL.
We’ve all been there — staring at a menu, scrolling through endless options on Amazon, or agonizing over which new phone to buy. With so many choices available in our technology-filled world today, it can be hard to make decisions quickly and confidently. This phenomenon is known as decision paralysis — and it’s more dangerous than you might think.
Decision paralysis occurs when we are presented with too many options or an overwhelming amount of information that makes us unable to decide what the best choice for us is. It's more often than not applicable when purchasing one or more items have to be done.
Are you a creative individual looking for ways to make money? Love trolling some people with clever memes you created yourself? If so, creating memes may be the perfect way to monetize your skills.
Memes are funny and shareable images that often go viral on social media platforms like Twitter and Instagram. With some creativity and hard work, you can use memes to generate an income stream for yourself! Here are some proven ways how you can make money by creating memes:
It took me several weeks to get so far to type out this silly, short little post. I kept on postponing and delaying and putting off, despite having it on my day planner every day. Why is that?
This is my first blog post on my new blog, basically a 'hi there, this is what this blog is about.' It appears I suffer from overthinking big-time. Such a first post appears to be very important to one's state of mind. In it, one defines for yourself what your blog will be about. It is equal to announce one's plan ahead. And I think that is what makes the first post so difficult.
Today, I decided, screw postponing any further. I'll just be writing whatever I want in here, straight from the heart, and if people don't like it, tough luck.
I regard myself as a forever student. Curious about everything under the sun, always chasing down interesting ideas and topics I'm coming across. Wikipedia is a pure rabbit hole for me, I don't get off there within five hours, and then I have fifty more tabs open as I followed links to their resources, and then down the latter's resources too. As such, I'm a pretty good researcher, even if I have to say so myself.
The most important symbol on a keyboard and in life is, after all, the question mark.
But a year or three ago, I read that a person forgets 75% of what they had learned just 24 hours ago. That means one had spent 4 hours studying something, just to lose 3 hours of that work a day later.
The Richard Feynman technique to the rescue. Most people only read something they're supposed to learn, maybe do some highlights in a book, making a few notes, and that's it. But Feynman's technique dictates that one has to switch from passive learning, to active recalling, to actually teaching what you've learned to an imaginary class, all right after learning something.
I tested it, and while looking a bit crazy while performing in front of a mirror pretending to be a lecturer, I found that it really helps to cement what one has learned. And what one doesn't know yet about a subject.
So that's this blog. I'm going to chase down whatever I come across and find interesting - while steering towards a bigger, grander goal - then turn my notes into an article or ten, as if I'm teaching someone somewhere on the internet about the topic.
Meanwhile, I'm hoping to pick up some freelance writing gigs from webmasters and on freelancing sites to pay my bills. And a clever idea from me - since I have 19 subjects identified I will be studying over the next 3 years - I am going to target websites dealing with those subjects. While I get to write for them, I'll also be learning more about the subject!
Am I worried that websites will instead have AI language models like ChatGPT write articles for them and rob us writers from an income? Yes, and no. Google can now detect when an article was written by a bot, and Google regards it as spam. Sites doing it will have their SEO penalized. I did my research, and will type out a post about that in a few days when I get the time.
And that's it for now, folks. You all will be writing an exam tomorrow about the topic of this article, okay. LOL. Can you recall what you just read?
