Some of my friends didn't believe someone could actually earn money by just sitting at home and being online, but when they eventually took interest in it, they couldn't put up with the effort needed to generate such income. I guess they got discouraged due to the discipline that is required in it..e.g avoiding visiting other social sites like Facebook to chat and have fun.
There was this friend of mine that told me; let me quote exactly what she said " If this your online business is real, why then are some people still broke?"😅 I told her, they either choose to ignore and suffer or they didn't get an opportunity of having someone to tell them about it, like you do now.
