How I My First 5,000 USD With Nothing But My Phone

If you clicked this article, which I presume you did because you wouldn't be reading otherwise,you're probably here to grasp the procedure and jump on it,riding all the way to tomorrow.Now I pretty much know how annoying it is to read a title which makes your heart leap for joy with eager expectation only to get a goat when you were in fact promised a unicorn.So before I start rattling righteously about how I made 5,000 dollars with my cellphone I might as well brief you on what you're in for.

YOU'RE IN FOR A RIDE(TRUST ME)

So yes I'm going to be sharing my experience but no you won't receive 5,000 dollars from a hand reaching out from your phone after reading(No participation trophies).

What I'm trying to say is it takes more than just reading the steps to experience it first hand.It also isn't a quick(or free) money waiting to be picked up.That means work.So if you're probably here and your bed is your bestie,you can move to my next article which talks about how to make money while sleeping(it's an imaginary article though).

The Search

Graduating from high school and losing my mother the same year I was devastated and broke(n).I searched tirelessly all over the internet for ways to make money online and I ended up with a broken heart and an empty bank account(literally).After a few more trials,which I talked myself into,I was at the brink of madness.Also I had more people who genuinely actually always remembered me in their plans(I was owing them money).So I had literally gotten myself in a web.When a friend approached me to tell me how he was making money I gave him a back kick which sent him flying(In my mind of course).Well I actually ignored all he was saying till he got to the part where he said no capital is required;only then did I come out of my shell(I had gotten a pretty tough scam proof shell, evolution I guess).So basically it's article writing.Those probably nagging about me beating around the bush how else would I get to tell someone all about me and my boring life(which they don't care about).So I implore you patience.Actually it's a psychological fact that delaying a gift or message increases the importance which it's recipients will attach to it.So I'm doing you a favor.Below are a list of sites which pay $50 and above per article(A combination of some of these websites made me 5,000 USD)
