you can make money if you do your research. You won't make millions over night, but you have to start somewhere. Really though, if people learned how to properly budget their time and money, change their habits, and disassociate from groups that bring them down, they'll have positive changes in their life.

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink though.

You can technically make money with Herbalife too. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if a greater proportion of people made money on Herbalife versus a YouTube channel.

maybe, but can you say the same on blogging or online e-commerce. Or if somebody supplements their income doing uber/lyft or doordash/instacart?

I am saying the same thing about blogging and online commerce explicitly.

And the supplementing your income with Uber, etc. thing is slightly different in that you get compensated for each hour you put in starting with your first hour. The big issue I have is with schemes that take time and capital investments where you probably won't make a dime.
