Websites that aim to help people become wealthier, and yet are sprinkled with ads, inevitably give an impression that their owners consider ad revenue a viable source of income.
If that is so, I’d be reluctant to follow any advice given on such a site, as I do not want to be in a position where I rely on ads for own financial independence.

- kordlessagain 6y agoOr users turn off Javascript on the page and never see the ads to begin with.
- paulryanrogers 6y agoThe content degrades into becoming ads for their books, seminars, shovels for gold miners, etc. By the time get-rich advice becomes even moderately popular it's either applicable only to saturated markets, selling the dream, has hard requirements outside the reach of most (birth, luck, credit, liquid assets, etc), or some combination of those.
- oh_sigh 6y agoIt's like writing a book on how to become wealthy, and the advice it gives you is to write a book on how to become wealthy.
- devalgo 6y agoOf course they never admit the truth, that the only way they got rich/famous was by writing self help books and have never done anything real outside that.
- kevin_thibedeau 6y agoI know someone who did exactly that. They can't quit their day job yet.
- cpursley 6y agoHis advice is simple: stick your money in low fee index funds.
