The Fatigue of Online ‘Get Rich Quick Schemes: Selling Training Courses on Social Media
Social media platforms have become breeding grounds for opportunistic entrepreneurs and self-proclaimed gurus in the digital age.
Scrolling through our feeds, we are bombarded with countless ads and posts promising instant wealth and success. You must invest in their training courses or follow their ‘get rich quick’ strategies.
