All 3 are in big financial trobules.
All 3 have very interesting stuff to fill huge web sites, and to solve all their problems with AdSense.
All refuse to talk about it.
"I am not a scribbler"
"I will never make advertising for my competitiors"
Tells the first one
"I can not understand it, maybe I can get the idea next year, now I want not to talk about it"
Tells the second
It's sometimes very frustrating not to be able to help people, because they are to stupid.
I estimate a good coverage of the fair could bring 100 to 250 AdSense $ per month.
Nothing personal, but unless you covered about 8 fairs a month minimum I wouldn't even get out of bed for that.

Nothing personal, but this is exactly what this 3 people are thinking about starting AdSense.
Just when we do not receive $5000 a month for writing 5 pages, we do not start AdSense.
I find 1200km car driving, 2 days on a fair, 4 days writing for increasing AdSense income by $100..$250 a month is a great business.
Special when most fairs are connected with personal interest.
Thread should have been named: How to get 3 people to help you make money.
That'a a natural development.
When it's not possible to help them, they should at last help me.
I started to convert my company from internet promotion to online publishing, because I hate to hear:
We think about it (internet promotion from me)
Maybe next year (internet promotion from me)
The son of one of our employees will do it (internet promotion)
We will pay Your bill as soon as our customer pays our bill.
Our customer went bankrupt, so we are just right now not able to pay Your bill
Our miserable employee made everything wrong, so our customer refuses to pay the bill. Out of this reason, we have no money to pay Your bill.
You are half hour to late, sorry, the IRS executor was just here and cashed all my money before You arrived.
Your money did not arrive? Maybe a typing mistake at the EFT.
While I was researching, I found this gem:
"Man does what he can, God does what he will."
Ya gotta love the internet.
Great thread. Very entertaining and very much true about people's motivations or lack thereof.
I think it was Swebbie who mentioned the couple of generations of weenies. He's right. Everybody in this country (insert appropriate country here ___USA____) now thinks he/she needs a job rather than thinking they need a skill or a resource or, heaven forbid, to be resourceful and self-reliant.
Illuminating thread. Too bad the people who could actually benefit from reading it never will.

This deserves to be the quote of the day!
If it is (a) - then you may be able to help them…if they want the help. You could do as one poster suggested and give them assignments on posts to read, books to read, etc. etc. to see if they are really serious. If they are serious they will complete the assignments and come back to you asking "what's next?"
If it is (b) then there is probably not much you can do but be an example for them. Hopefully they will see that you are creating your financial future and that they have the ability to do the same. Perhaps they will start asking questions and then you can help them.
When I first started reading WW, If someone would have approached me and said that they were earning $25,000 monthly and they could show me how to do it…They might of just as well said to me: "I am a professional quarterback and I am going to show you how to do it". I would have taken them up on the offer but probably would not have went at it wholeheartedly because I simply would not believe that I could earn that type of money. My mind still can't quite comprehend it. I know it is possible to get checks and my belief systems are slowly changing - But I have a ways to go. In fact - This type of thing inspired me to start a blog on the psychology of success in affiliate marketing.
I am not trying to make this post about me - just trying to point out where these people may be coming from. I was raised in a very poor family. We lived in housing projects and shacks. My mother's mantra was "graduate school and get a good job and work hard." That is what I did and still continue to do. I have fought my whole life this "poverty consciousness" that plagues me. I had this victim mentality that life just happens to you and you deal with it. Fortunately I had enough seeds planted in me and was around enough positive influences (I think because of my work ethic) to know that there must be more to life. I got to know people who were in control of their financial life and had high expectations. I began earning money on the side and have done so most of my adult life…I have never been able to have the belief systems it takes to walk away from the security of the job like some of you have. I think it is great that you have and wish you continued success. I hope to one day enjoy the lifestyle that you do.
I was in an industry prior to AM that had a saying: "The ones that need it the most are the ones that want it the least." I don't necessarily think that makes a person stupid.
