How do earn a reasonable amount of money online? I don't mean ideas that can make me upwards of 10k monthly incomes after a couple of years, but what can I do to earn the same sort of money I earn now just with a lot more freedom? My dream life at my current age is to travel consistently without having to save up and quit a job every time, I want it to be sustainable. Everywhere I look on youtube is always talking these big figures on already popular and saturated things, and they all have 'courses' that instantly pushes me towards thinking there is alternative motives for what they do I'm sure they can make you a lot of money at the top end, but all I'm looking for is something that gives me enough money to live more free whilst I travel. I wanna know methods that are easy to get into very quick where I can just earn a few thousand a month and live with more freedom. I am a keen writer and have skills in this regard. submitted by /u/AlRush1107 to r/SideHustleGold [link] [comments]

Here's everything I learned in 30 years of sales. My top year was over 800K. I'm retired now. Never turn down a job offer. - It doesn't matter what the job or promotion is or how much you don't want it. Come up with a number and a counteroffer. Would you do it for 500K a year? If they can't afford you - that's their problem, not yours. Start by finding the most successful salesperson and asking them to mentor you. Don't waste their time. Ask for lunch every month if possible. Come prepared, take notes, be thankful. Some people want to mentor and share knowledge; find them. Don't use them as a wiki for every question you have. In my opinion, territory sales with repeat customers (distribution and repeat sales) are the best option for reducing burnout. One-off sales are grueling, and it's a numbers game. Building a territory is a very different long-term commitment. Sometimes I called on customers until the decision maker retired. I had 20-year relationships with many of my customers. I had actual employee badges for some customers. You can absolutley build that type of trust and teamwork with that much time. Take care of business on the front end of the call and keep it tight. Be prepared, sort emails from that customer, and make notes for the meeting before you walk in. Especially if it is a standing appointment. After everything is discussed, move on to Jimmy's soccer practice, the customer's daughter's wedding, and so on. If you can get them to laugh, like really belly laugh, GTFO ASAP. It's like stand-up comedy. Exit stage right. It takes practice, but it's a skill you will hone. You can waste hours talking to customers, but keep it for the wrap-up. If you miss a customer, leave a business card on their door. They might remember they needed you for something, and at least - they will know you were there that week. Keep it short. If you ask a customer for three minutes, you'd better end in three minutes. There's nothing worse than someone who takes up a lot of time and doesn't get to the point. I remember talking to customers who would see another rep who doesn't respect their time, and they never have good things to say. They literally look for an escape hatch. Don't be that person. Use a pen. Get a notebook and write things down. I don't know what it is, but customers love it. They feel like the president. If you have a to-do item, write it down in front of them. I never used a phone in front of a customer to send myself a reminder email or type a note. They don't know if you are playing Pokémon or browsing Tinder. That's what their kids do to them. Just get a notebook and write it down like a reporter. After the call, walk out to the lobby and just do it. Open the notebook and do whatever you need to do right there in the lobby. If the customer sees an email three minutes after speaking with you, that makes an impression. After a few years of flawless follow-up, they will trust you with any project. You will have less to do that night. Get the ball rolling and finish it ASAP. Ask for a tour. Customers love to give the tour. Act interested and be quiet. Let them talk. If you are cold-calling and nervous, don't be. Walk up to the reception desk with a big smile and just tell the lady, "Here's what I do, and I have no idea where to go or who to speak with." She will usually grab your hand, make introductions, and possibly give you a slice of pie. That's her job. I had a CEO that I really wanted to impress, but I never met the guy and couldn't get a meeting. I did my research and found out he was on the board of directors for the Boy Scouts. I wrote a simple letter introducing myself and briefly explaining my goal for a 20 min meeting. I closed the letter with "If you don't think I delivered anything of value, I will donate $200 in your name to the Boy Scouts" as a thank-you for your time. I sent the letter via FedEx. The beauty is that it will be the first thing on his desk in the morning, and his assistant won't open it to scan it. This works for applying to jobs, sending a FedEx letter to the decision-maker with a cover letter, and for a CV that stands out (especially in sales interviews). If a buyer refuses to see you or interact with you at all, you can always explain to them, "I'm here to try and save your organization money and improve your operations. I might be speaking to the wrong people. Can you at least tell me where to go?" Sometimes it's good to remind them what they do for a living. It's their job to investigate opportunities to improve their supply chain and lower costs. Regarding co-workers and bosses, you need to learn the "Landlord Rule". Be friendly, be nice, be accommodating, but you are not friends. This is business. You usually won't be best friends with your landlord, but you can be friendly. If you decide to trust someone you are close to, don't gossip, don't say anything that could sink you. Don't drink at work functions. Relationships (especially with management) get weird when you are making 3X what they are. There will be people you absolutley despise in your career, don't let them get to you - that's what they want. Don't be surprised if you're never asked to join the management club. You are keeping the lights on. You can't take the pretty one off the corner. If coworkers complain that you make too much money, just encourage them to apply for the job if they think it's easy and high-paying. CRM is a tool that won't teach you how to sell anything. It's an HR tool and usually a waste of time. They will either fire you for lying and making stuff up or for not working. They will absolutley adjust quotas with it. Do it if you must, but also find your own way. Falling into the right company is tricky. Privately held companies tend to pay much more (in my opinion). Straight commission takes a lot of discipline, but uncapped commissions are the only way to really skyrocket the income. What it did for me was priceless. I never carried any debt, I always kept a massive cash reserve, and I invested like crazy. YMMV, but if you can put together a lifestyle that allows you to take a risk on yourself, do it. It also changes the tone of the relationship with the company. You are paid to do one thing and one thing only. You can usually do it your way if you prove you can consistently do it well. I literally told my manager I didn't care about my yearly review. It didn't pay my bills. Keep doing the things that make you money, because it's making the company money. Large conglomerates that want an army of identical salespeople saying the same thing and doing everything the same way can be outright stifling. You will make mistakes. Own up to them. If you aren't making mistakes, you aren't working. Ask what you can do to make it right and do it. You need to break things sometimes. Ask for forgiveness later. Fight for your customers. Get on the phone. Get loud. Escalate. I once had a warehouse VP tell me he wasn't going to ship something we needed for a customer. We got into it. I hung up, called the company owner, and told him to hold the line. I pulled the warehouse guy back on the line and told him to explain it to the owner. It was shipped in ten minutes. If your company doesn't promote this culture, find another company. Confrontation can be done respectfully, but I just never figured that out. If you see something unethical, say something. Make suggestions to management that make things easier or are just logical. A lot of companies don't keep up with technology. The cow paths run deep. If you see an easy way to automate something or cut out needless work, suggest it. Don't be surprised if they take all the credit for it. Ask in a "what if we" way. Keep a running list of these ideas for the future. Finally, every $1 million saved yields $40K annually in retirement income at a 4% draw. Find your number and figure out how to get there from here. That's what this is all about. The sooner you get there, the sooner you can do what you want to do. At the end of the day, remember - you don't own this thing. The company owns it, and it can end at any minute. There is one thing that is absolutley certain when you start a new job; one day you will no longer work there. Realize this on the front end and get to work. Save that money and invest early. The more you have packed away, the less stress you will have. The less stress you have, the more money you will make. IDK why it works like that. Good luck - Godspeed. submitted by /u/thebiglebowskiisfine to r/sales [link] [comments]

​ Hi everyone, With summer break coming, I’ve been thinking seriously about learning a digital skill that could eventually generate some income. I’m not in a rush and I’m not in financial need right now — my parents still support me with almost everything. My goal is different: I want to learn something valuable, build real skills, and eventually earn my first money from my own effort, even if it takes a long time (possibly much longer than just one summer). I’m willing to invest time and be patient if the skill is genuinely useful in the long run. I have a fairly strong laptop that can handle demanding tasks and games smoothly . What digital skills would you realistically recommend in 2026 for someone who is ready to learn deeply and play the long game? I’m not looking for “quick money” or fake gurus. I’d rather hear honest recommendations from people who actually learned something and made use of it. What would you choose if you were starting from zero today? submitted by /u/Sea-Egg7211 to r/careerguidance [link] [comments]

I’m 16 (high school student) with a lot of free time, and I want to invest it wisely. I’m interested in multiple fields like programming, marketing, and languages, but I know I can’t focus on everything at once. My goal is simple: I want to build a skill that can realistically generate income in the next 1–2 years. Constraints: - Limited budget - Studying in school (not full-time free) - Starting from zero - Smart If you had to choose ONE path with the best ROI today, what would it be — and why? Also, what would your roadmap look like for the first 6–12 months? Thanks in advance submitted by /u/3mk_999 to r/findapath [link] [comments]

Here is the list of business ideas that actually make money in 2026. Tiktok Shop for trending products. This is the latest dropshipping variant for people 18+ in the US. You create your store dropshipping on tiktok’s platform and sell by creating content or spending on ads. UGC Creator. There are a lot of businesses paying creators to market their business on TikTok, Instagram, and they pay you by the number of views you get. If you are good at being on camera, this is a solid way to make some extra money. AI Website Themes. Use Claude or Wiz and design websites using AI. You don't need coding knowledge as AI is getting really good at design, but copywriting skills are needed. Personalize the website to a business and sell it to them. If they decline, put it on Shopify theme's or tweak it for another business. Niche language tutor. If you’re fluent in uncommon languages you can sell tutoring and conversation practice on your own website/business or on preply or another tutoring platform. Podcast/Long-Form Repurposing. Find a podcast without a channel that posts short videos or isn’t good at short video creation. Edit the videos and post them on youtube, tiktok, instagram reels, and other social media platforms. Make money by charging a fee for the amount of shorts and by getting commission on the revenue the short generates. Pinterest affiliate. Choose a niche and repurpose/mock up images from other social media accounts and post it on Pinterest. Drive traffic to an affiliate offer or your own website. Online newsletter for your city. Write about your local city or area and events and important information for people living in your city. Get sponsored by local businesses and run ads that geo-target your area on Facebook or Instagram. Vending machines. Yes, this is old but still works. Find a high-foot traffic area and place the vending machine there. Places like barbershops, offices, and schools can all work well but make sure you get permission first. E-learning packs for teachers. This isn't new but still has potential. Teachers buy pre-made worksheets and slides. Use TeachersPayTeachers or Etsy. If you can make aesthetic slides in Canva and create informative and interesting worksheets this is a great option.

Mine didn't. But it's so weird I didn't quite grasp it at first. A bit of background: somehow my parents managed to be authoritarian, neglectful, smothering and permissive all at the same time, and it was a huge punch in the gut to realize how damaging this kind of upbringing, mixed with undiagnosed autism on my part, has been to me. Putting the authoritarian and neglectful part (which included yelling, corporal punishment, dismissal, invalidation etc) aside, I'll concentrate on the smothering and permissive part: despite being punished both verbally and physically whenever I had an outburst, tantrum or meltdown (sometimes even less than that), my parents also didn't really make me to do anything I didn't want to do, and if they did, it was through threats. For example I remember telling my mom that she never really taught me to cook growing up, and her saying "You weren't interested, you didn't want to learn." And I vaguely remember her saying similar things about things like finance/money management, cleaning etc. I recently realized how bad and stupid that was. By that logic, I should have been allowed to study just what I liked and could have ignored what I didn't like back in school. And the few times I remember them at least trying to teach me the things mentioned above, not only did they happen occasionally and not frequently, I recall them being extremely passive. It was just a passive explanation of the steps as they came along, rather than an active working through the steps so I could understand the purpose. It was more of a generic "telling me what to do". Then there's the part of my household lacking clear rules and a clear routine growing up but I'm not gonna annoy you with that, I've written enough. Sorry for the lenght. Anyone can relate? submitted by /u/Cartoonnerd01 to r/emotionalneglect [link] [comments]

Matched betting is an increasingly popular betting technique that allows you to make money from free bets and promotions offered by bookmakers. Matched betting can be carried out on almost any sport; however, the two most popular sports for this betting method are football and horse racing. Matched Betting Basics Open a bookmaker account (e.g. Coral or SkyBet) 2. Open a betting exchange account (e.g. BetConnect or Smarkets) Use an OddsMatcher tool and calculator to find a sporting event to bet on Place a back bet and a lay bet. At this stage, you’ll use your own money, but remember that the point is to qualify for the bookmaker’s free bet. Your profit will come from the next step. Once you’ve unlocked the bookmaker’s free bet offer, repeat the previous step. But this time, use the free bet instead of your own money. Our Founder, Paul It's important to note that matched betting is not gambling, as you are not relying on chance to win. Instead, you are using mathematical techniques to ensure that you make a profit from the free bets and promotions offered by bookmakers. Our Online Communities Our Facebook group - bit.ly/OddsMonkeyFB Our Discord server - bit.ly/OddsMonkeyDiscord Understanding Back and Lay Bets In matched betting, a "back bet" is a bet that is placed on an outcome to happen. For example, if you place a back bet on a horse to win a race, you are betting that the horse will win. On the other hand, a "lay bet" is a bet that is placed on an outcome not happening. For example, if you place a lay bet against a horse winning a race, you are betting that the horse will come in any position apart from first. Similarly in football, a lay bet covers you against the other team winning as well as the draw. In matched betting, back bets and lay bets are used together in order to ensure a profit from the free bets that you have claimed. By placing a free back bet with a bookmaker and a lay bet with your own money on a betting exchange, you can cancel out the risk of losing your own money and instead make a profit from the promotions you have found. For example, let's say you have a free bet of £10 with a bookmaker. You could use this free bet to place a back bet on a horse to win a race. Then, you could place a lay bet against that same horse winning on a betting exchange. If the horse wins the race, you will lose your lay bet but win your back bet, resulting in a net profit across the two bets. If the horse loses, you lose nothing at the bookie (as you bet with a free bet) and you win your stake at the exchange, leaving you with the same amount of profit regardless of the result.

No longer do we need to place separate lay bets in the 'win' and 'place' markets. BOG Matcher - BOG (Best Odds Guaranteed) is an offer that many UK bookmakers provide where they will pay you more winnings if your horse wins and the odds when it started the race were better than when you placed your bet. The Matcher tool shows odds from all the bookmakers offering Best Odds Guaranteed. Racing Matcher - Horse racing runs throughout the year and can be a brilliant source of income for matched bettors. This tool makes it easy to find the best matches every day to save you time and make you money. Acca Matcher - Accumulators are bets with multiple selections.

Bring in yet another means of profiting from the bookies by taking advantage of extra place offers.

The OddsMatcher in Free Bet Mode Matched Betting Calculators Matched betting calculators are online tools that help you calculate your potential profit from a matched bet.

Matched Betting FAQs Here are some of the most common queries we get regarding matched betting: Q: How much can you make from matched betting? A: The amount of money you can make from matched betting ultimately depends on a number of factors, including: The amount of time you are willing and able to spend, The amount of money you are willing and able to stake (your “float”), The deals and back odds offered by bookmakers, The lay odds offered by betting exchanges, Your matched betting knowledge and skills, Your access to tools and resources.

Matched betting can take around 30 minutes per day but remember, the more effort you put into completing the offers, the better your results will be. All of the money you make from matched betting is 100% tax-free, so whatever you earn stays in your pocket! Q: How much money do I need to start matched betting? A: While you can start matched betting with any amount, we’d recommend a minimum of £50-£100. You need to have enough available in your starting pot (also known as your “float” or “bankroll”) to cover this in your first matched bet: The stake for your qualifying bet The liability for your first lay bet The liability for your second lay bet You can then put the profit you’ve made towards your next matched bet, and so on. It won’t be long until you have enough matched betting profits to form your float, meaning that you will be able to take your initial deposit money out and just carry on re-using the profits you make. To minimise the amount of money you need to start matched betting, you can place your bets at lower odds to reduce the amount of liability required. The more money you have available for matched betting, the more money you can make. A larger bankroll means you can do more offers at once without having to wait for your money to transfer between bank, bookmaker and betting exchange accounts. However, you should make a decision based on your own circumstances. Q: Is matched betting legal? A: Matched betting is completely legal in the UK but you do have to be aged 18 or over. That’s because you will be opening up accounts with bookmakers. It is not a scam and it is not a con. It may seem too good to be true at first, but it’s totally legit! Bookmakers aren’t huge fans of matched betting, purely because they’re not making money off us. However, it’s a completely legal way to use the bonus offers given out. Q: Is matched betting safe? What are the risks? A: Matched betting is a popular and safe side hustle enjoyed by tens of thousands of people every day. The only risk in matched betting is that of human error, so make sure you double check all your bets and refer to the guides when completing offers. Q: Does matched betting still work in 2024? Or is matched betting dead? A: Matched betting is still one of the best ways to make money online from home. For as long as bookmakers offer free bet deals, back and lay betting can continue to deliver profits. Bookmakers have been aware of matched betting for years and they’re showing no signs of stopping these special offers.

A: You do not need a separate bank account for matched betting, but it can be helpful. The main argument for having a bank account especially for matched betting is so everyday spending doesn’t get in the way. It’s as simple as that. With a separate bank account, you can keep track of your incomings and outgoings more easily. Without having to trawl through all those Just Eat orders and bills… Joking aside though, most of us have direct debits set up for things, so we need money in the bank on a certain date. Withdrawal times differ between bookmakers and sometimes there’ll be extra delays that are out of your control. It can be a bit of a waiting game. And this all means that you won’t always be able to guarantee when you have the amount of money you were expecting. With a dedicated matched betting bank account, you will always have a clear view of your profits.

I don't know exactly how to start this post (it's a bit of a complicated story). My husband and I have decided for years that we do not want to have children. I think this decision is also related to the fact that we both had rather difficult childhoods. Of course, his sister (my SIL) and her boyfriend don't share this attitude and said to us the same phrases that practical everyone says: "wait a few more years, you'll realize you want kids", "who will look after you when you're old?", "that's selfish that you two don't want to have kids" etc. Meanwhile, we ignore such comments. However, the problem is that my SIL is now pregnant (I thought this would never happen because she has an extremely severe form of endometriosis). SIL and her boyfriend don't have much money and it is clear to my SIL that she will not work once the child is born. This therefore means that they will have even less money available than they already do. She is only 5 months pregnant and has already asked my husband and me for the following: We should exchange our big car for their small car (because there are only two of us and as a future family, they will need more space than we do). Since we don't have children, we are supposed to take care of SIL's child as much as possible, without any compensation (especially on the weekends. That my husband and I both work 100% and do not want to or cannot look after the child on our weekends, SIL has skillfully ignored). I am already supposed to sew clothes, blankets, toys etc. for the unborn child for free (sewing is a hobby of mine) Now my SIL and her boyfriend have another new idea. They really wanted to buy their own house, because in their opinion, children should not grow up in a rented apartment. As already mentioned, both earn not very much and in the current situation, the lower middle class, to which they belong, cannot afford a house. However, the two probably did not think about that. Went to look at a house, have expressed their interest in it, without having enough money for the mortgage. They then wanted to ask my husband's and SIL's grandparents for a cash gift of at least $100,000. This money does not directly affect me, so I can care less if their grandparents give the money or not. But SIL already hinted that when I will earn a lot of money as a future lawyer, I could probably give them some financial support (especially because I don't have any children who could need the money and for me and my husband it is way too much money anyway. We could give her some of it). But I simply don't want to do that for them. Especially because they have hurt me so often with their statements and have not shown me any respect for years. Conclusion: SIL and her boyfriend have chosen this life (although not really rationally) and should live with the consequences. I guess this message didn't really get through to them and therefore they try to make my husband and me a guilty conscience, because (especially) I will have much more money in the future (because my husband and I decided against having children of our own and I studied over 6 years at the university and currently complete 2 years of internships so that I can pursue my dream job and at the same time don’t have to worry about money). What shocks me most about the whole story is actually the fact that the child was not even born alive yet and SIL and her boyfriend have already made such brazen requests and are still not ashamed to try to impose their lifelong dream of children on me, but at the same time want to take my money, my time and my skills (sewing) for free. Although, among other things, these are a few of the reasons my husband and I made a conscious decision not to have children. But now we are supposed to pay for future children who are not our own and SIL and her boyfriend even take this for granted. Apologies for punctuation errors or typos. English is my 4th foreign language that I am learning. Edit: I want to thank you all for the kind and helpful words! I will get back to you when there is an update on the situation. PS: For all new readers, I would like to add that it is not a cultural thing to support relatives (not at all in general and especially not to this extent as SIL currently demands). I live in Switzerland and each person here is basically responsible for their own finances, etc. I just wanted to note that to avoid confusion. submitted by /u/Independent-Bear-750 to r/childfree [link] [comments]

I don't really even want to be alive. Yet i still have to pay for existing. Very cool. Is there a way to make a small, consistent income that won't make me long for death? I have no skills. I guess I'm ok with computers, but nothing professional, just casual civilian use throughout my life. I don't need much money, but looking at entry level jobs is just depressing. Bachelors degree is entry level now. How do people still believe in this racket submitted by /u/Fozes to r/findapath [link] [comments]

Hey everyone. So basically, I'm very motivated to learn programming on a good enough basis to do freelancing work to make extra money for my family. I'm not big on giving personal details, but thanks to life, our account has gone negative once again, and I'm tired of my family having to be put through this. I haven't truly dedicated myself to learning programming, I guess because I do have a job so in the back of my mind it wasn't a huge deal, but I am changing that outlook today. One day, a full time job programming would be great, but in the meantime, I want to do better for myself and my family and make extra money. Any thoughts you have on a good way to learn the basics, enough to do freelancing, I would really appreciate. I've got to make a change, and I want to make it today. Thank you. EDIT: Oh my gosh, my first Gold! I certainly wasn't expecting that, but thank you so much! EDIT 2: Wow, and a Silver as well. I want to thank everyone who has responded to my post. I'm doing my best to individually answer everyone who has done so. I really can't thank you all enough for all of your advice! submitted by /u/Berret25 to r/learnprogramming [link] [comments]

I understand this may come off as harsh, but this is coming from a place of deep love and respect - I KNOW how valuable your time really is and I so desperately want you to see this truth for yourself. YOU NEED SOME MOMENTUM - TO SEE THE DOLLARS COME IN AND CONFIRM THAT YOU CAN DO IT! If this post helps one person TAKE ACTION, I will be so happy! There's nothing better in life than teaching someone how to fish (or showing them that fishing is a skill they can easily learn!) To be frank, there's so much bulllshit online - and soo many of you are complete posers who aren't serious about making money. You 'want' to make money (who the fuck doesn't?), but you never take any fucking action. I want to talk about practical ways to make money NOW. Not some long ass gameplan.. RIGHT. THE FUCK. NOW! This is definitely more geared towards people just getting started.. (As this is how I started my entrepreneurial journey) Personally I believe IF YOU'RE SERIOUS - YOU CAN START MAKING MONEY TODAY! (Otherwise you may be bs-ing yourself and being an entrepreneur isn't for you :/ ) I know what I'm talking about. I've sold hundreds of thousands of items online over the past 10 years.. My path has taken me into a specific niche (anyone here like LEGO?), so I don't do this anymore on this level.. But I still have such a sweet spot for the simple art of buying and selling misc things - and I believe this is the key to getting started! Here are some ways I've made money buying and selling over the years.. (And no, I don't want anything from you - I just hope this maybe helps someone get started TODAY!) 'BUY LOW SELL HIGH' There are millions of items out there that you can make money on.. Everything has a value. I have bought many things for less than a dollar that I have resold for hundreds.. First of all you gotta know how to find what things sell for online.. 'HOW DO I FIND ITEMS VALUES?' Search 'sold' items on Ebay - and this will show you how much the thing is worth. Do not look at the current items for sale as their true value. Instead look to see what they have sold for in the past! (Many people will overprice their items so you need to see that it has actually sold) 'WHERE DO I FIND THINGS TO SELL?' Thrift stores Check your local thrift stores a few times a week - take out your damn phone, and pull up the Ebay app. If you pick it up, look it up!... seriously! Just Ebay search everything! Maybe even hundreds of things! The most random crap sells for a lot online. Teacups? Look them up! Old board games? Look em up! Action figures? Books? Shoes? Search search search!! Usually you will want to pay less than $5 and resell for at least $25. I always liked to talk to the employees and tell them what I was doing - Over the years I made friends with them and they helped me know what new items have shown up in their shop that could be good to resell! Yard sales (Oh god I love yard sales!!) Have a game plan the day before you go out - research and know where you'll be driving. This way you know where to go before you hit the road. Find community yard sales so you can hit up a bunch at once.. Get up early! My secret to yard sales: Walk up to the owner and ask them if they have whatever it is you're looking for! If you're super nice and polite and respectful, many times they will go into the house and bring it out for you! This way you can be on the hunt! And you can check WAY more yard sales throughout the day by not wasting any time looking around! Craigslist Besides searching for items to resell, try writing a post where you are COMPLETELY OPEN WITH WHAT YOU'RE DOING! Personally I think this is a gamechanger. Make a post under the 'wanted' section - and have the title be something like 'WANTED: Anything, really' Explain that you sell items online, and you will be able to pay cash for anything that can be resold on Ebay. You wouldn't believe the number of responses I've gotten for this! The coolest people respond and you will be flooded with options of things you can make money on. People respect the hell out of honesty - and they're cool with you making money, as long as you're real with them.. Ebay You don't have to leave the house for this one! Make an advanced search for whatever you're looking for - with 'Buy it Now' and 'Newly listed' as the search options.. This will show you the newest items that have been put up for sale - and if you search enough times a day you will eventually find something severely under priced that you can make money on! Ebay to Amazon Most people want it NOW! So they ignore Ebay and go straight to Amazon. Because of this, most items sell for way more on Amazon compared to Ebay! You can list items for sale on Amazon now, and once they sell - head over to Ebay and purchase the item and have it shipped to the buyer. Everybody's happy and you keep the difference! *Note: because you never actually see the product in person, you have to be careful with this one. If the buyer complains you will most likely have to send their money back 100% and take the losa. Alibaba.com Most likely you've heard of this site. It connects wholesalers from around the world to buyers who want stuff to resell. Every fucking thing imaginable is for sale here, with wholesale prices. This is definitely more advanced, but WAY EASIER THAN YOU MAY THINK!! Just a random example of something you can buy and resell - I found wholesale conveyor belts at $500 each. Here in the US they go for $1800! (There's shipping coats and fees, but the profits are still excellent!) It takes time to contact them, ask for samples, and wait for delivery (conveyors for example took 1.5 months to arrive) - but there is BIG money here. I've heard people say 70% of items on Amazon were sourced through Alibaba! There are definitely many more ways to get started in the world of being your own boss, but I just love the simplicity of buying and selling. You can start that TODAY! I hope this maybe helps somebody out there get started! Please please please let me know if you have any questions! I don't want anything from you - I just want to be a help! I wish someone would have told me these things years ago when I was first getting started.. Life can be so damn exciting, you just need to see that it's all possible - you need to prove it to yourself.. and you can do that by starting to make money today! Anyway that's about it.. Have a wonderful mother fucking day y'all!! submitted by /u/eattheinternet to r/Entrepreneur [link] [comments]

Alright friends. I've been thinking a lot about this topic, driven by the common sentiment I see a lot from people my age about the job market for young, uneducated, inexperienced, and often underqualified folks, and I wanted to throw together some thoughts based on my experiences and those of my friends. I really do believe that there is a formula for making great money under these conditions, and it doesn't involve, like, starting a company, working in Multi-Level-Marketing, or blogging for a living. I'm going to use specific examples, citing specific dollar amounts and experiences. As a quick disclaimer; in no way do I intend to underplay the difficulty that many people are having with making a living. I know that I've been fortunate, but I see some trends here that might be able to help some people. I have many young, uneducated, highly paid working professionals around me, but I'm going to highlight 4 (myself included). Each path has been different, but with some key similarities. Each person is in a different field, and no one has done anything especially groundbreaking (like invent Facebook or something). None of us have a degree, none of us did well in high school (3 have GEDs), and all of us came from poor families. Additionally, no one has any highly rare, marketable skills; or at least we didn't to begin with. We're all between 24-29, and we will all end this year over 120k. Step 1. Enter If you don't have some fancy education, or some fancy connections, to utilize in order to get a sweet job right out of the gate, you're going to have to start small. A degree (in theory) proves that you have a level of knowledge, so we just have to prove it a different way. Most people are already in this phase; they just don't move on from it efficiently. Myself and one of my examples, (we'll call him John), got started using one of the best resources available to unhirable shmucks out there; temp agencies. Temp agencies are much less particular about the qualifications of an applicant than a company's HR department would be, and they very often fill some of the great entry-level positions that a lot of people here read job descriptions for and complain that they're underqualified. It's really a win-win; the company can cut you loose no questions asked if you're a bum, and you get the perfect opportunity to showcase that you're not. You'll find that it's a lot easier to talk about your skillsets in interviews for full-time positions when the company already knows you and likes you. It also earns you the opportunity to network with key individuals in the company who can help you in the future. John and I both temped for IT helpdesks at different companies, starting around $14 an hour, and got offered full time positions (that we were still not at all qualified for on paper) within about 6 months that paid about $20/hour. We were underqualified even for the temp job descriptions, but we were both sure to go to the agency and put on a good face for the recruiter, and they don't mind giving someone a shot. This happened when we were around 18-19. There are some jobs that this isn't necessary for, as they'll hire pretty much anyone. These industries (often sales driven), usually have incredibly cut-throat entry level positions, and that's how our other two examples got started (we'll call them Dan and Carl). Dan started selling gym memberships, and Carl worked in a call-center environment for a third-party purchasing company. Both paid minimum wage with some okay incentives for reaching certain goals. Both had very high turnover and were pretty intense. Both of them also got those roles around 18-19. Step 2. Emerge Pretty much everyone is able to, eventually, get SOME kind of entry level job. But what most people don't do is dominate at it. Here's the reality; if you get a basic, low-level, entry-level position in ANY field doing ANYTHING, and you don't find a way to excel at it and stand out, then you will not get anything better, and you don't deserve to. If you're just another face in your department, then you cannot feasibly expect anyone to give you a boost. If you're young and scrappy, hopefully you have a chip on your shoulder that says, "It's time to prove everyone who thinks I'm underqualified wrong", and hopefully you keep that chip for the rest of your career. After temping, networking, and leveraging my success doing that to get a full-time, legit position, I found myself surrounded by educated, "qualified" people who thought I had no right, as a barely 19 year old, to sit among them. This is a VITALLY important time. You have three options here: Don't perform, and either get fired after a year or two, or waste away there until "layoffs", (which very often just mean cutting fat). Perform pretty well; meet your goals and do your job, but be outshined, maybe assuming others are performing better due to tenure, and wait for promotions to come when all of the more tenured folks have moved on. This is a good way to see 10 years go by with nothing to show for it. Dominate. Make it clear from day one that you're there to work and produce. Making that plain to everyone in the first 90 days is pivotal, and that first impression will last even if you have dips in productivity in the future. If you have metrics, you have to find a way to get out front. This probably means working harder and longer than everyone else, and that's fine; it's not forever. If you don't have metrics, MAKE THEM. Every job needs to have measurable goals, and if yours doesn't, present some proposed ones to your boss and knock them out. Winning in these early roles is so important; it really does set the bar for the rest of your endeavors. On the IT helpdesk that I worked on, I worked with management to determine which metrics were most visible and most important. With a case backlog, it was case closures. We had all of these techy guys working way too long on highly complex cases (that should have been escalated, or they should have at least asked for help on), which drove down their case closures. So I took it upon myself to become closure king, and within 3 months I had 2-3 times as many case closures as anyone else, and everyone, especially management, noticed. For John, his IT shop was much slower moving, with less focus on metrics. They were big on developing folks for future roles, so they wanted to see an eagerness to learn and grow. He got on the same page with his manager about that and started learning as much as possible, making sure he quantified that in his review meetings. For Dan and Carl in sales, this was even easier. The beauty of sales is that the skills are universal. Sales managers don't care what you sold as long as you sold it well. Dan worked for a nationwide gym that published sales leaders every month. In the 3 years he worked there, among thousands of salesmen on the list, he was top 10 every month except for the first one. He also worked close to 80 hour weeks. Carl wasn't so blatantly successful, but he was sure to have clear communication about expectations from his managers and hit the important metrics, which was net margin in his case. So he had sales people around him selling way more in terms of gross revenue, but cutting deals too much, so he focused on keeping his margins solid and management loved him for it. Whether you end up staying with that original company or not, you have to knock low-level positions out of the park to be setup for our next step. Step 3. Expect Okay, so maybe you've already done the first two and are thinking, "So what! Here I am still making scraps!". I have encountered a lot of people like this; they're excelling, well thought of in their company, and stagnant for years. Consider some of these thoughts. The power of excelling at your early roles is that it puts you in the driver's seat. As soon as you've made it clear that you're a contributor, your management is on their heels to keep you, and this is exactly where you want to be. There are three primary things that you want to get out of managers, and that you'll only get if you're crushing it in your role: 1. Promotions This is the most important one. Push for promotions and/or title changes QUICK. If you're leading on your team, why shouldn't you be a lead? Don't you dare listen to the garbage advice that you shouldn't take on more responsibility unless you get more pay; that's crap. Early in our careers, the title is more important. Companies see that you were promoted a couple times quick, and it's a great thing to have on a resume or in an interview. 2. Paper Promotions are more important, but money is also important. Ask for a raise! Don't listen when they say that they don't give raises for whatever reason, it's crap. They'll pay you if they want you badly enough, and if they don't, they should at least give you: 3. Plugs Recommendations. Ask them to write them on LinkedIn. Make suggestions for what they should put regarding your contributions. Draft one for them and ask them to sign it. This part of the game is so important. For me, I got 2 promotions from that original job; the second one into a supervisory role. I got a 10% raise per promotion. Now, at first, I was thrilled with those. However, when I peeked out on the market, I realized that while I was making under 50k, I was way underpaid as a tech lead, and if they had to backfill my role, they'd have to pay someone in the mid 60's. So I mentioned that, and asked for a raise to the mid 60's. They offered me another 10% raise (to get me to about 53k), and I let them know I'd have to look elsewhere, which I began doing. What I ended up doing was going, with my few years of experience now (I was 23 at this point), back to temp agencies and looking for higher paying gigs to sort of start the process over. Without a degree and still with only a few years on the market, I knew I wasn't going to get directly hired for what I believed I was worth based on the work I was doing. I brought that same chip on my shoulder, and again having to make a good showing to the recruiters to gain some favor, and leveraged my experience to get a much more complex temp job for a major tech player that I was still way underqualified for at around $70k. I applied the same principles in that role, made friends, smashed metrics, and got a full time offer from that major tech player at $100,500, which after a large bonus and profit sharing, ends up around $125k. I'm 25. Dan brought his 3 years of proof of dominating in gym membership sales to the sales job of his choice; he sells windows, roofs and gutters, usually runs 1-2 90 minute appointments per day, and rakes about 150k. He golfs a lot. He's 27. Carl, upon not getting the appreciation for his contributions that he felt owed, made a few hops through other technical sales roles, always excelling and gaining a wealth of industry knowledge that he then leveraged to get a job selling telecom services to a high-dollar provider for enterprise customers. He'll do about $140k this year, and far more in the future, and is 26. John works for one of the rare companies that does give legitimate raises with promotions. He's 29 and has been with his company for 11 years. If you're in a company like this, AWESOME. But they are exceptionally rare. He moved into more technical operations roles, and eventually onto their data analytics team, and makes about $120k, and also has a freakin pension, which is sweet. There are far more examples around me, which I think is a contributing factor as well; stop hanging out with bums if you don't want to be a bum anymore. Surround yourself with people who will ask you what you're doing to advance in your career and push you to make what you should make. All four of us are also in school now, being paid for by our employers, which is cool. In closing, I'm about 99% positive that those who would have the ambition to actually apply some of these things based on reading this probably already have, and so no one who finds these principles to be illuminating will likely do anything about it. Prove me wrong. Cheers. Edit: Lots of great discussion, I'm having a blast reading your stories and responding to DMs. There are some resources far better than myself who have commented, so be sure to pick their brains! One quick thing. If these incomes sound outlandish to you, all I would say is that you might consider seeking out young professionals in your area and making new friends. Is it average? No. But there are lots of young people out there doing far better than us. Find people who have gotten where you want to be. Edit 2: It might take a day or so, but I'll get to your DMs, I promise! submitted by /u/PieceOfDatFancyFeast to r/personalfinance [link] [comments]
