So you wanna get rich? Read this.

I'm hoping that every single user viewing this thread will listen to me. You have two options here, listen to me, or listen to yourself. Let's not compare me and you, I'll let you make the decision. Here's my quick little lesson for those who's financial wants won't stop bugging them.

1. Get off Hackforums. Stop trying to use it to make money. It's a hacking forum, not a market for you to sell stuff. It's going to get you nowhere. If you see anyone around here who's rich, I'm sure it's not from selling eBooks on HF or reselling Nintendo codes.

2. Stop leeching off others ideas. If he's selling it, you're not the only one buying it. Biggest mistake you can do is to think that following someone else's footsteps will take you exactly where they went. Guides won't guide you to where they advertise they will, they only waste your time and money.

2b. LEARN, not read. Reading a guide is nothing but entertainment. If you want cash in your hand, start learning about what you might be interested in. NOT what is profitable.

3. Think for yourself. If you can't think for yourself, what makes you think you even deserve a single dollar of what you want to make. I'm not telling you that business is the only way to make money. It's not for everyone. All you have to do is think outside the box. Ideas are worth nothing until you make them something.

4. Just have a fucking try. Just do it. Stop thinking of the things that might stop you from trying. JUST TRY. Who cares if you might lose $500 trying this out, or you'll miss this TV show. You can't drop the puzzle pieces alltogether because they didn't fit in the first try.

I'm not trying to sell you some shitty product. Just take my advice and I'll be happy enough :). This is some basic shit but I'm looking around here and it shocks me how many of you can't nail down these 4 simple facts.
What about successful business minded people who actually do earn here, and only use it as one medium of advertising?

True there's people who make tons of money on here....
Some pretty basic tips that unfortunately many members fail to follow. I disagree with the first one though, I've made a good amount of money through HF not to mention I've gained knowledge and met people who will be helpful in the real world.

I'd say, HF isn't to earn money. Maybe that's me but it's what I think, and I think it's what you should follow

You're right, it's not. Just so happens that it had a marketplace section that eventually grew and became very large and profitable if used correctly.

Only read up to that step... I bought a Facebook page on HF for $60, it's made me will over $20,000 so far. If I followed your tips I would've missed a great opportunity.
I just didn't like step 1 man people make tons of money off of this Forums.
That was both the rudest and most unhelpful advice I've ever read.
Edit: Unless you're already successful then a $500 risk is just not fucking worth it unless you know what you're actually doing.

Besides isn't HF a complete goldmine considering that this forum is filled with kids who have their parent's credit cards?

HF is a goldmine if you utilize it right, yeah.
Some time ago I made a solid $3,000 a month just selling stuff here.

OP Haven't had any sales for sure here ...
Your first statement is false. Hackforums is a decent marketplace and if you have decent products to sell, you will make a lot of money.
I think this is some solid advice. People that make money off of HF exist too, but they aren't many. The entire world VS HF, I'm pretty sure the world has more money opportunities than a forum.

Sadly nobody has decent products, that includes your signature.
