Thoughts on note monetization, where I thought, 'There are seriously so many liars out there!'

The 'note monetization gold rush' crowd was something I wrote a comprehensive article about before, but since I keep seeing such irresponsible nonsense, I will state the main points again in a very short article. It is short enough for busy working professionals to read immediately, and simple enough that even an elementary school student can definitely understand it.

Regardless of whether it is about paid notes or side hustles, the principles for earning money in this world are as follows.

• Principle 1: For you to make money, someone needs to pay you.

• Principle 2: To get someone to pay you, you must do one of the following:

  • Plan A: Work hard to provide something valuable enough to be worth it.

  • Plan B: Fraudulently peddle trash that isn't worth it.

Needless to say, the people in the gold rush crowd are adopting Plan B. They are waiting for you to be a willing listener. After all, for a cult leader to remain secure as a leader, they always need followers.

There are people who say you can easily make hundreds of thousands a month just by doing notes, but that is only possible if 'a person capable of providing information of such value happens to seriously use the note media as their job.' It cannot possibly be easy enough for anyone to do on the side. It is not something that can be solved just by being 'good at writing.' That is what a job is.

When they say things like, 'You can make money too if you just write whatever you want on note! ('though you might fail if you don't buy the paid know-how I'm offering?? ), it is just too condescending to the people in the world who are working hard and steadily every day. People who are seriously working as writers will especially be furious. Please, really, do not be deceived.

I will repeat what I wrote in my previous article. Writing that comes from your heart has value in itself, even if it doesn't earn a single yen, but if you write something with the shallow intention of making money, even if it generates cash, it is trash.

If there were no willing listeners, even scammers wouldn't be able to make a living. I'm begging you, seriously!!

That was a really short story, but here is a bonus. In the stock investment book I released last year, I explain in detail the 'common-sense reasons why common investment stories can't possibly make money,' and I also write things like, 'there's no such thing as an easy way to make money, I'll smack you for thinking so.' (*The bold part is a joke.)

In the case of serious investment methods that even ordinary working people can properly perform, the knowledge and actual work itself are not that specialized or complex; the biggest point of difficulty becomes something like, 'Can you just leave it alone for decades after buying it?' Because the essence of investment is providing capital. If you are interested, please check out the book. (There is also a 'trial reading version' where you can read a portion for free.)
