There Are No Jobs, Say the Blind

We’ve all heard the stories of the college graduates, saddled with debt and unable to find work, who wind up returning home to live with their parents.

We conclude from this: there just aren’t any opportunities out there anymore.

This is ridiculous. No opportunities? In the Internet age? You must be kidding.

A lot of these kids are victims of educational malpractice. They leave high school with no idea what their niche might be, how to brand and market themselves, how to build an email list and an audience, how to use YouTube, WordPress, and social media to spread their message — all of thus stuff may as well not exist.

(They know they should recycle their aluminum cans, though.)

Meanwhile, I myself know plenty of people who are absolutely cleaning up online. They figured all this stuff out for themselves, or they studied people who have mastered it, and they took action.

This is the opposite of the mentality we learn in the education/unemployment complex, which is: sit by the phone and wait for an opportunity to ring.

Example: I have yet to meet anyone who says, “Nah, I’d hate to earn Amazon commissions as an extra income stream. That would be terrible.”

But I’d be willing to bet most people don’t know about this possibility, and the ones who do have no idea how to do it.

Trust me, plenty of knuckle-draggers make a very nice living through affiliate marketing.

My mom (not a knuckle-dragger) learned how to do it earlier this year. Here’s how:
