I remember the exact moment I hit my breaking point.
I was in the parking lot of a Dollar General, staring at a crumpled receipt like it had personally offended me.
đ§Ÿ Total: $43.17.
It wasnât the number that got me. It was the feeling. The sinking realization that this simple grocery run had me mentally calculating which bills I could push back another week. I wasnât broke-broke, but I was surviving on fumesâphysically, mentally, and financially.
I sat there in silence, engine off, bags on the passenger seat, wondering how the hell I got here.
Because I followed the rules. I worked. I showed up. I played the game â just like they told me to.
And yet here I wasâmidlife, mid-debt, mid-burnout â staring at a bag of off-brand groceries like it was a cruel joke.
I went home. Sat on the couch. Opened my laptop. And typed the words that launched a thousand scams:
âHow to make money online.â
I know. Cringe.
Within seconds, I was knee-deep in YouTube videos promising $10K/month with zero experience. Guys in rented Lambos, standing in front of whiteboards with formulas that made no senseâŠ
âJust buy my course.â âJoin my team.â âClick here to change your life.â
I nearly closed the tab. But something kept me digging. I wasnât chasing a Ferrari â I just wanted some room to breathe. A way to stop feeling like my life was owned by my bills.
And then⊠I found it.
Affiliate marketing.
No, not the sleazy kind that gets you blocked on Facebook.
The real kind. The kind where you recommend products you trust to people who need them â and you get paid when they buy.
Simple. Not easy. But possible.
The more I learned, the more I saw the same scammy patterns. Flashy screenshots. Fake testimonials. âSystemsâ with no support.
I got mad. Not just for me â for all the other regular people out there getting burned.
Thatâs when Richardâs Rants was born.
This blog is my middle finger to the guru factory. Itâs where I call out the BS, break down what actually works, and show people how to build online income without losing their shirt â or their sanity.
No fluff. No filters. Just the truth â even if it stings.
Iâm not here to be your guru. Iâm here to be your guide â the one I wish Iâd had when I started.
If you’re tired of pretending you’re fine when you’re drowning inside⊠welcome home.
This blog is for people who still believe in doing the work, learning the skills, and building something real.
Itâs for doers â not dabblers.
You donât need a business degree. You donât need to be 25 with a TikTok following. You donât even need to know what SEO stands for (yet).
You just need three things:
If thatâs you? Youâre going to love it here.
Iâm not going to sugarcoat anything.
This wonât always be easy. There will be frustration. There will be mistakes.
But youâll also get wins. Youâll get clarity. Youâll build momentum.
And eventually, youâll wake up one day, check your email, and see that you made money while you were sleeping.
Not because of luck. But because you took the time to build something real.
Thatâs what this blog is about.
If anything Iâve said punched you in the gut (in a good way)⊠donât just nod your head and click away. Take action.
Hereâs your next move:
You donât need to be perfect. You donât need to have it all figured out.
You just need to start.
Click one link. Read one article. Take one small step.
Thatâs how everything changes.
Thereâs a version of you out there â not some imaginary 10-years-younger version â but you right now â who learns these skills, applies them, and starts stacking wins that build a whole new life.
That version of you is waiting.
This blog is how you get there.
Letâs get started.
