I swear, my former housemate was the biggest dummy on the planet. His name was Amos, and he was the epitome of the word slacker. Most of the time, he would sit around and do nothing but smoke pot, while incessantly blasting reggae music as loud as the stereo could play it. I swear, one time we had to turn off the power to his room on the surge suppressor just to get some sleep, and boy, the dummy never even got wise that was us that killed the power. He made his living selling drugs, and incense down on Teleride avenue in Colorado Springs, where all of the hippies, street punks, and freaks come together and do, more or less, not a damn thing.

One of the stupider (although by no means, stupidest) things that I saw him do was to buy an earn money online kit off of the internet. This was one of those deals were promised him that he could earn money online by setting up his own business with things he already had. This was a look to draw people in because they didn't have to expend a lot of money to do it. It advertised it as if all that he would have to do was to sit back and watch the cash roll in. Of course, the this was old fiction and he got burned.

I mean, how could you earn money online selling crappy hand dipped incense? Who in their right mind could think that? He must have actually thought that there was a market for because in his own little world he thought it was cool. Like there weren't already a million other people trying to earn money online selling the same substandard products. Could you imagine trying to sell incense and a brick and mortar business where they can't even smelled the product, to say nothing of making money online with it.

It isn't even like he had a nice, or interesting web page. He just bought a stock web design out of a box, slapped it up on the Internet and thought that that was all it would take to earn money online.

To earn money online is much more complex than most people think and we try to explain that to him, but he'd just give us that blank, irritated look that was permanently affixed to his face. He was pretty much clueless about how the marketplace ran and he surely did not want to hear about how there were already enough people trying to earn money online, and failing at it, selling the same kinds of crappy things that he was. After a while we just gave up and let him do whatever he wanted because sometimes you get tired of banging your head against a brick wall, and he was our brick wall. People definitely do earn money online, but you have to have a clue first.
