Your content doesn't make money
because you're trying to make money with your content.

Why is that?
Imagine you are india phone number list in the pedestrian zone handing out flyers.
and this flyer says:
“Please buy my new wedding suit!”
How many people do you think will buy?
The probability is zero.
I was recently in Duisburg city centre, and there was another stand from the Johanniters.
They always sell their appeals for donations and want people to:
Sign
Leave your account number there
Commit to donating monthly
And then I talked to the seller there and he said:
“Wow, Duisburg, really tough place.
We've been standing here for two days and haven't gotten anything done.
Not a single donation.”
It wasn't my job to lecture him, but if it were up to me, I would do it the other way around.
I wouldn't try to sell directly on site in the city center and get people to donate.
