How I Make $5,000 Online Every Month — Even Though I'm Ordinary

9 min readAug 19, 2020

According to a 2017 Gallup poll, two-thirds of Americans are disengaged, meaning they feel no real connection to their jobs or worse, causing them to do the bare minimum in their roles and responsibilities.

Heck, I know back in 2014, I was a member of that group.

I was working for a website that did reputation management. The office was just outside downtown Boston.

Of course, when I started, things were great!

I was 24 years old, I was a few years removed from college, I had just moved halfway across the country to a new city. I was making just under $500 a week after taxes (and I thought that was good money for living in a major American metropolitan area).

And after about a year or so, reality started to settle in…

  • I was showing up to work every morning a few minutes late.
  • I was "checking out" during company-wide meetings.
  • I was dreading opening up my "tasks" label on Salesforce.
  • I was showing up to the office and had to sit a few yards away from my ex-girlfriend (who cheated on me — yeah, that might have been the worst part).
