Anyone promising you’ll get rich fast is usually getting rich off people who believe them.

The business model is often the promise itself. Courses and schemes that sell speed make their money from hopeful people rather than from the method they describe, which is why the method never quite works when you try it at home. The tell is who is paying whom. If somebody genuinely had a reliable fast route, selling it would be the least profitable thing they could possibly do with it.

Before paying for anything that promises quick money, ask where that person’s income actually comes from. If the answer is people like you, keep your money and buy a skill instead.
