We make money everyday. I don't mean that we earn money, I mean that we create money out of thin air. If you think about it, we look at the things around us and figure out how we can turn those things into something useful or a service that is helpful. Then people give us their money for that thing or service. Hence we are making money from stuff that was not there before.
Banks make money out of thin air as well. Let's say you make $100 and deposit into your account. The bank is allowed to lend 90% of that deposit to other people for their needs. Businesses will borrow money from the bank to pay their employees till the receive money from their clients. Their employees will deposit that money into their accounts. That means the bank has $190 on their books, $90 of which does not really exist. Now they do have th records stating the $90 in loans and they will get a return as the loanees pay back their debt. The thing is the bank can continue to loan out 90% of the deposits they receive. That means they can loan out $81 of that $90, putting $271 on the books from that original $100. Each of those dollars the bank is making interest on. That is also the reason it would be a bad thing if there was a run on the banks. There is no way the banks could ever give everyone the money they have in their accounts.
You can create money from your thoughts. People all over the world are blogging, and if they are doing it right, they are earning some kind of income from that ads on their blogs. The trick is to write about something people want to read about. If you are hear reading this you are helping me out just because the ads are on this page. If you see an ad for something you are interested in and you click on the ad, then I make even more money.
To make money out of thin air, all you have to do is look around and find a way to make something valuable out of the resources you already have available.
