Lazy Wealth

Making money isn’t a lazy man’s game

I ran across Lazy Wealth.com a few months ago, and after doing some research online I wasn’t sure if it was a scam or not. Some people claimed that it was, some claimed that it wasn’t, and I decided that since it didn’t cost that much I’d go ahead and bite the bullet… I figure that if I got scammed, it’d be my own fault and I’d just be out my little initial investment.

I won’t say that Lazy Wealth is a scam, per se, but I definitely wouldn’t recommend it to other people. If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to make money without a lot of work, stay away from Lazy Wealth; I get the feeling that the main person who is making money off of the program is the guy who runs the site.

The main part of the Lazy Wealth system is a book that’s supposed to tell you how to make money, along with the standard ad program where you get a percentage of the profits.

The problem with this is that a lot of the advice given in the “best selling” and “respected” book that you start off with is largely made up of tidbits that you could learn for yourself in a few hours online or by taking an introduction to marketing class at your local community college. While it could be great for someone who’s an absolute beginner at marketing, most people will find that it’s just a rehash of a number of things that they already know.

When it comes down to it, the program seems at least somewhat legitimate but it isn’t nearly as wonderful as the website’s descriptions make it sound. Apparently their definition of “lazy” isn’t quite the same as mine, because if you really want to make money through marketing (especially online) then you’re going to have to put some work into it.

The site does offer support and the owner (or at least someone claiming to be the owner) will answer your emails if you write to the address listed on it, but if you’re expecting to have lots of money just fall into your lap by sending them some cash then you’re going to be highly disappointed.

Probably the best thing that you can learn from Lazy Wealth is a good strategy to use if you’re going to try and start your own business like this. Collect some applicable (but by no means revolutionary or highly innovative) information, compile it into an ebook or three, and then set up a website selling the books at $20-$30 a pop.

Add to that an opt-in email list that you can update with new money-making opportunities as you find them online, and you’ve got the core of the service without the need for a 10% affiliate program. Of course, if you did all of this then you’d run the risk of having a lot of people online calling your service a scam (even if technically it wasn’t.)

If you’re willing to put some work into it, there are a lot of legitimate ways to make money online. Just don’t be “Lazy.”
