Are There Any Legitimate Ways to Make Fast Easy Money?

I see this question over and over again. Are there any real legitimate ways to make fast easy money?
And the short answer is yes.
But, unfortunately they won't work for the average person.
Why?
Because most people don't want fast and easy like they think they do.
They want fairy tales. They want fast, easy, free, no involved, no knowledge required, and no involvement, and money come pouring into their bank accounts.
But, no one is going to give you money for nothing. You have to bring something to the table. Then you have to learn when something is legitimate.
I recently read of a marketer, who I highly respect, having to close down a service, after many years of running due to unforeseen circumstances, did that mean all of the new affiliates that didn't get a chance to make any money got scammed? All the years who was running the service, all the money he paid out to affiliates, does the fact he closed down mean he didn't offer a legitimate opportunity?
There are a lot of legitimate opportunities that stop working for whatever reason, or that won't work for you. And the first thing people say when something doesn't work is that it's somebody else's fault, and scream scam.
The fastest and easiest ways to make money most people won't try because someone else screamed scam. It's like the boy who cried wolf causing everyone in the town to come running out.
Finally, the fastest and easiest ways to make money are not going to be free. Someone has to put the time in to set up the system that allows for you to get paid. If your not going to use your time (which would make it fast), you will have to pay some to do it for you.
The question isn't whether or not their are legitimate fast easy ways to make money, but whether or not you will take advantage of them.
