The reason I'm asking these questions:
A lot of us when we start go on the internet seeking answer to how we can make money. Since we're on the internet, the best articles we find are ranked high by SEO guru's that have a natural proclivity towards internet businesses. So the articles we find are: Make money on Amazon, make money as a freelancer, make money selling online services, etc.
That mentality is a good way to get started, but it limits your earning potential by giving you tunnel vision.
Sometimes that tunnel vision leads to unnecessary stress.
There's a good number of millionaires I know offline that have @yahoo.com email addresses. They don't know squat about the internet, but they have drive and make big money by doing something different. For a lot of us, an offline business would be easier than an online business.
Then, the people that make money "online" - don't really do it all online.
The top e-commerce guys I know from here don't make money from Amazon. Some of them aren't even on Amazon. They have a website where you can buy their product, and consider themselves an "ecommerce" company, but in reality they're not. Most of their sales are driven through offline means. Wholesale deals. Distributors. TV ads. Direct mail ads. Cold calling. Yet, because they started with a website, they consider it "online".
My point: It's not about just making it online. It's about making that $1 period. Focusing on "online" limits you for no reason.
Also this mentality is a bit flawed. Yeah, there's online systems that work, but that doesn't mean that offline doesn't work.
Take for example someone that has a McDonald's franchise. They have a set territory. They earn $1MM per year. Have a store manager that manages everything for them. They just check in and collect money.
Is that money worse than "online passive income from an email list"?
Or someone that has an automated car wash and a manager that reorders supplies as needed. Is that worse as well?
Or an import business that has 100 distributors? They have exclusivity from the factory and ship direct to the distributors. Never see the product. Is that worse?
What about a patent for a product that's then licensed out to an industry giant? How bad is that?
...
Now take the billionaires from your country. Tell me which one of them made it "online".

I passed through hardship that at some points I shot my Laptop in depression for a break to ease off the negativity.

Not so!
$1 made offline = $100 made online.
So why?
For a single peny you make offline, you sure worked for it.
While making money online is passive, once you build up your email list it gets really easier and passive to earn
