This is a conversation I have had many times… why is it that social media platforms are OK with people selling and performing online tarot card readings and reiki healing, but have a big problem with people selling make money products?
Firstly, there is no evidence that tarot cards actually predict the future, mainly because a person’s own future is dependent mostly on what they do each day.
Secondly, reiki healing, if it works – there’s no evidence to say that it does, is even more unlikely to work when performed miles away and over the internet.
The truth is this… tarot reading and reiki healing do not work, and to charge people to have them done online is the definition of scamming people.
Many alternative healing therapies and spiritual practices are the real ‘snake oil’ that is being sold today.
Whereas money, that is real… and people need it in order to live and survive in society.
Teaching people how to make money is not only good, it is in fact what all education is about if we are to be really honest with ourselves.
When Andi, our techy guy, went to college to learn to be a carpenter and joiner, it was so that he could earn money with those skills.
A fresh out-of-school teenager who goes to catering college to learn how to cook, generally goes so that they can find work and potentially open up their own food related business.
Hairdressers… they learn how to cut and dress hair so that they can…?
That’s right, earn a living.
What they were taught were a set of skills which would allow them to… earn and make money!
Very few people go and learn skills for just fun… and if they do, they are usually later on in life when they can afford to pay £90 to spend four hours at a high street coffee shop learning how to make the perfect coffee.
Even then, some of the people who do a course such as learning how to make a barista-quality cup of coffee do it with the idea of possibly opening their own coffee shop.
For the most part, all education is about gearing yourself up to make money from a specific career.

Yes, people may choose to do something they enjoy such as cooking or hairdressing, but they are still thinking about a ‘career’ where they expect to spend years working as a way to ‘make money’.
So, with that in mind, selling products that teach people to make money should not be seen in the bad light that they often are.
Yes, some people have been scammed and have lost a lot of money. When you lose a lot of money it can be really damaging to your life.
A couple of years ago, the ‘money’ mentoring and coaching company, Lighthouse, was forcibly closed down by the courts because it acted like a cult taking thousands of pounds from the people who signed up.
In several cases they even had members sell their houses to continually fund their placements.
Members moved into ‘group’ houses where they lived together and worked together to record the teachings of the ‘leader’ type chap who was happily banking millions of pounds.
Some members lost homes and family because of following the advice from the conman at the top.
It was more dodgy than the winner of The Most Dodgy-est Thing In The History Of Dodgy Things contest.
So yes, it can and does happen.
I guess the reason that tarot reading and online reiki healing is accepted is that there is little to no harm done when a person receives it. They are just a few pounds less… and I don’t mean weight-wise.
However, there is some argument as to whether there is some psychological harm done by selling something that is basically a ‘lie’ that doesn’t actually work, but it’s not life and family destroying like debt can be.
The other side of the coin though are the success stories from people who have taken a course or bought a make-money product and gone on to make a life-changing amount of money by implementing all that they had learned… more on this later.
Surely they count and should be given the respect they deserve?
Sadly, it seems that it is easier to just tar everyone in the make money online industry with the same brush.
It is a legitimate industry.
It’s wrong to insist that selling make money products and programs is in any way unethical because that it is what all education is geared around… learning skills so that you can earn money to live and survive.
It’s just that we are more honest about it.
Money is the only constant in everyone’s life. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you are, or what your personal belief is… you need money to live. Even the most remote self-sufficient hermit will need money for one or two things at some time in their lives.
Very often, those who say they don’t need money don’t realise that their lives are dependent on it too; it’s just that they are using other people’s money.
The Dalai Lama is a prime example of this, he may not earn an actual wage, and he may not have his own bank account, but whenever he travels to another country to spread his message someone is paying for the flights, transport, food, and hotels.
The Dalai Lama has many books out so I image even he is banking money somewhere.
The more money you have, the more you can do, and the better choices and decisions you can make.
Making money is something we all have to do and to learn how to make more is in no way a bad thing, it is a form of self-love and self-respect.
It is a gift that you should give to yourself.
As the saying goes:
Knowledge Is Power
And so is money.
Money gives you the power to avoid a lot of hardships. It allows you to avoid working in specific jobs, and avoid working with certain people.
Money = Freedom
Both money and knowledge need to be accumulated, and the accumulation of one leads to the other.
Knowledge helps you earn more money, and having money helps you to learn more and experience more which is essentially becoming more knowledgeable.
