I think you are being too linear.
Lots of ways to make money require a long-term investment that will pay off more later.
For example improving your skill, let's say you want to be a programmer. Doing online courses, studying, participated in projects on github. Will pay you 0 now but will return dividends later

Yes there are lots of ways of making money, that's why I have written quite a few blogs on the topic, seeing things from different angles. Some people have some capital and others have skills they can use. But I have tried to consider those with very little to start with and there is still hope for them if they will do something. Because nothing happens, if you don't do something.
