But what’s it all about, really?
Well, here’s the deal. This is not your average “let me show you how to make money online” blogs. It is also not a “let’s see if I can make a living online” type of blog. The truth is this – I know that you can make money online. In fact, before starting this site I was regularly making over $2,000 a month all in online income. And in some cities in the US you can live on $2,000 a month. And in Mexico you can live real well on $2,000 a month.
There are sites where people are trying to make a million dollars or a million euros. This is not one of those sites. This gringo is not greedy. One million pesos will be nice, thank you. In fact, I don’t even plan to keep it all, but that’s another story for another entry as I get closer to being a peso millionaire. Actually I just think it will be hysterical to tell people that I am a millionaire. Why? Because they will assume that I am talking in dollars and not pesos. Heh.
That can’t be the only reason, right?
Right. I also want to try out some other money making mojo that is not a good fit for my other money making sites. So, this will be a good way to chronicle that success, or lack thereof if that is the case. The way I figure it is that the worst case scenario is that I do not become a peso millionaire and this site is just a lesson in how to or how not to make more money online. And of course the best case scenario is that this little gringo becomes the gringo peso millionaire.
