This is a great article. It is so true that many people often do jump blindly looking for next big money making idea/website online. There is not really a true get rich way of making money online. It does take hard work and and truly great idea, product, or service. You have to give your clients something of value and if you do they will come back.

I did like how you mentioned that the only ones that made it rich were the ones selling the shovels, gold pans … etc. They saw a market for those supplies and found their great product.

Here’s a bit of trivia about the California Gold Rush: There were actually three of them!

The second Gold Rush occurred when Chinese laborers who built the railroads turned to mining and panning when their work ran out. A third Gold Rush happened during the Great Depression when farm laborers unable to find jobs began working over the tailings and panned out streams to scavenge what little was left behind from the previous two Gold Rushes.

Even though many of the most lucrative Internet opportunities have been taken already, there doubtless remain niches that have been overlooked or under exploited.

Having been trying to make money online for almost a year, I’m now positive there is no “easy way to riches”, and the only ones getting rich from the gurus’ products are the gurus themselves . I still feel like a pioneer though, and I take inspiration from those people who set off for their fortunes during the gold rush.

Wow – thanks for the great post. I’ve definitely been one of those people always willing to jump to the next “big strike”. Can ‘t tell you how much money the gurus have got from me – and now I’m really re-thinking exactly what I’m trying to accomplish online.
