With all the YouTube videos, online courses, and “gurus” out there, why is it that you still haven’t made any money? Is it you... or is it what they're telling you?

80% of these YouTubers and so-called gurus want to keep you confused so you’ll keep buying more of their courses. And the other 20%? They’re teaching something they’ve never actually done - and don’t know what the hell they’re doing.

It’s actually one of the main reasons why, after making millions in sales over the past 20 years, I created Income Insider - to cut through the lies and finally help people get real results.

The first step is to unlearn all the bad information they've fed you:

The majority of people that try to start an online business fail miserably - simply because they made one of the following 5 mistakes:

So many people sit around waiting for the "perfect" idea. They think they need to discover some secret niche that nobody else knows about. They think they need to invent something brand new. So they wait. And wait. And they never start.

Here's what they don't understand: You don't need a big idea. You don't need to find some hidden market that nobody else has discovered. That's not how this works at all. People are ALREADY spending money online. Right now. Today. They're buying things they want and need.

The money is already flowing like a river. You don't need to create the river. You don't need to dig a new river. You just need to get in the way of the money that's already moving. That's it. Just give people what they already want.

Think about it. People want to lose weight. They want to make money. They want better relationships. They want to learn new skills. They're ALREADY searching for help with these things. They're ALREADY spending money. You don't need some genius idea. You just need to stand where the money is flowing and offer them what they're looking for. Get in the way of the river, and the money flows to you.

This one stops so many people before they even start. They think, "I can't do this. I don't want to be on camera. I don't have any followers. Nobody knows who I am." So they never even try. And that breaks my heart because it's completely wrong.

Here's the truth: You don't need to show your face. You don't need thousands of followers. You don't need to be famous or popular or have everyone know your name. Some of the most successful online businesses are run by people you've never seen and never heard of. They make millions while staying completely anonymous.

Think about it. When you search for something online, do you really care what the person looks like? Do you need to see their face? No! You care about one thing: Does this help me? That's it. Nothing else matters.

The internet is FULL of successful people making great money without ever showing their face. They use simple websites. They help real people solve real problems. And the money comes in whether anyone knows their name or not. You can do the exact same thing. Your face and your follower count have nothing to do with your success.

Alright, let's settle this once and for all. You do NOT need to sell T-shirts, prints, electronics, beauty products or anything "physical" on Amazon, Shopify or Etsy to make money online - that's not what I teach.

I speak from experience when I say... Those kinds of businesses are a NIGHTMARE to start and run. They have tons of logistical issues and worst of all, even if you do find a winning product - you'll have copycat competitors eating you alive within days.

So accept this now - Amazon, Etsy and "dropshipping" are NOT the way. Like I said above, the money is in information that you can sell digitally. This is the quickest, easiest, most profitable thing to sell online - and it will give you the lifestyle and freedom you really want.

I'm sure you've seen ads online telling you this kind of stuff: "Make money doing surveys!" "Get paid to watch videos!" "We'll do all the selling for you!" "Join our done-for-you commission system!" I hate to break it to you, but those are scams. The only people making money are the people who started the so-called scheme.

Not only will you not make any money, but you'll most likely LOSE money buying into whatever they're selling you. And that's not even the worst part. You'll waste precious time that you can never get back.

Remember this golden rule: If a money-making "system" doesn't help or add value to people's lives in some way... It's bullshit.

The ONLY way money is ever generated is by providing some sort of value to people. If you're not helping someone solve a problem or get something they want, you're not building a real business. You're just chasing fairy tales.

This is the biggest mistake people make. They think they have to do everything alone. You think, "I can figure this out myself. How hard can it be?"

But here's what really happens: Doing it alone is like trying to find a place you've never been without Google Maps. No directions. Just you, guessing which way to go. Sure, you MIGHT get there eventually. But you'll waste months going down wrong roads. You'll run out of gas. You'll get lost over and over and over again.

And the whole time, you'll feel frustrated and angry and ready to give up. I've watched so many people waste YEARS like this. They try one thing. It doesn't work. They try something else. That fails too. They stay broke and keep watching and learning forever.

Tony Robbins said something that changed my life: "If you want to be successful, find someone who has achieved the results you want, copy what they do and you'll achieve the same results."

Read that again. You don't have to reinvent the wheel. You just need to follow someone who's already done it. Someone who knows the shortcuts. Someone who can show you EXACTLY which roads lead to success and which ones are dead ends. That's what changes everything.
