Top 10 ideas for how NOT to make a million dollars!
1. Start a cool looking website. Flick some good content from various sites, put it all together and make it look coherent. Optimize your website for google. Add on some google ads on your site and voila! you are ready to make your first million on the net – only it will take approximately 100 years ( I assume you have asked your friends, family and dog to click on your ads everyday).
2. Attend a seminar on options trading offered by that cool looking dude who claims he makes $2,389 every day while he sleeps! It is really simple…it really is. Anyone can do it and that includes you! The only minor disclaimer is that it works only when you sleep…the money vanishes when you get up!
3. Attend a seminar that promises to change your mindset towards money so that you can start attracting money in your life! (You never knew that it is your silly mindset that is driving away all the money away from you! Did you?)
4. Call up the guy who offered you that once-in-a-lifetime chance of becoming a member of his multi-level marketing company and sell creams or health booster drinks. It will only take 100,000 packs sold or a 1000 suckers added to your network – whatever comes first.
5. Attend that workshop that will explain to you that the whole game is really about numbers. That it all depends on the day you were born. And because you chose the wrong day, you need to pay the numbers expert another $1000 so that he can tell you the way out of this situation.
6. Join that money back guaranteed program on the internet that promises to help you set up the coolest web site possible so that you can sell E books that you can outsource to college students in Bangalore to write.
7. Attend that fantastic workshop that teaches you how to buy properties without paying anything (and get the seller to throw in a free car while you are at it).
8. Start a blog and write an article every day about ‘how to make money’.
9. Oh! And I forgot about that workshop that promises to transform you into a top notch entrepreneur in 48 hours (or money back of course)!
10. And did I mention the book that promises to teach you day trading so that you never have to get a job for the rest of your life?

Dear Mr. Wasu,
Good day.
I really liked the article and have forwarded to some of my freinds also.
I am also looking forward for some more articles on the same topic. As, there are many ways that lure you to becoming millionaire rather there should be ways of not becoming.
Money is never easy as said, explained and verified by our Grandfathers.
Thanks and regards.
Can resist complimenting you on your expressiveness, sharp wit and keen sense of humour. Loved the article.
Cheers… to not making a million dollars(a few here and there should do the trick)
Warmly,
Dr.Arora
