Today, we're going to talk about the topic of fast money with minimal effort. With a few tools, it seems like anyone can start a business or side hustle from the comfort of their own home and make a fortune. And there are certainly plenty of success stories out there, from influencers who make a living from sponsored posts to dropshippers who sell products without ever touching them.

But as with any trend, there are also plenty of scams, pitfalls, and unrealistic expectations. You've probably seen ads or testimonials from people who claim to be making thousands of dollars a month with little to no effort. They promise easy, passive income in one breath while adding a quick, “This isn’t get rich quick,” disclaimer in the next. 

Who wouldn’t want to live their dream lifestyle and enjoy financial freedom? The reality, however, is often very different. Many of these schemes are either outright scams or rely on unsustainable tactics that can't be replicated by the average person.

In this episode, we'll talk about psychological hooks, scams, and unethical practices that promise much – but deliver little. We'll also talk about the importance of realistic expectations, hard work, and long-term planning when it comes to building your business online.
