"You find the most monetizable skill you have and run in that direction."
Bullseye. Recently started learning webdesign with future plan to learn python and solidity.So that can take advantage of all the new possiblities web3 will offer this next decade.
Just had this thought, an hour ago. Why am I doing this?
Was shamed to admit it/think about it, that its purely for money reasons.
Now after rereading that para, a few times.
I am in it only for the money and the flexibility of WFH.
I want to be rich and will learn profitable skills to make it.
I will end up in all three groups. Starting a commission sales job this week, has a lot of upside. Could make up for lost time in my early twenties. I've got an edge because of my copywriting experience(Or so I think). We'll see what happens
30 years. Living in 3-rd world country, working in international sales.
As a side grew 2 Youtube channels with 30K+ subscriptions in my native language. Last half-year working on creating private label consumer product (vaping industry). Hoping to start selling in 2-3 months.
Additional skills: speak 5 languages, public speaking (stand-up comedy). How could I monetize these additional skills with Youtube channel growth experience in your view?
Late 30s, married with one child, I'm a nurse anesthesiologist, bring in a decent US token trash salary. This is unique, high demand skill but is fee for service. How can I scale this skill to the online world? Or do I develop another skill and scale that? Really starting to think I'm NGMI starting too late.
Single and in my late 20's. Job is in the real estate finance arm of an investment manager. $160K+ annual salary. Additional skills include sales. Reading up on copywriting right now as well. Have tried to break into E-commerce (clothing) but have had troubles with Facebook ads banning/restricting my account. Looking to scale an online business but trying to figure out the most viable option for doing so.
I’m currently stuck in my 9-5 excel hell desk job and have begun applying for sales jobs in the tech/software industry. My search parameters are pretty broad as I’m just looking for 100% remote and uncapped commissions. Should I narrow that down to something more specific within tech? Like only SaaS? Also, with only a couple years of prior sales experience in an unrelated industry, can I afford to be picky or just go with the first offer and upgrade later when something better comes up?
Hey guys... started reading last year and I took a lot of the learnings from Efficiency to heart.
Quit my job in O&G Engineering earlier this year for a career in tech sales, starting as a solutions consultant with a pretty solid salary + commission. Angling to move to straight sales within 1-2 years.
No questions at the time, focusing full time on setting up an e-commerce site and getting that going. Appreciate the advice/guidance, deeply indebted to y'all.
Physician with knowledge of cancer treatments, more importantly can integrate ongoing clinical trials info. Are there successful medical education (not advice per se) avenues for business? Re-packaging info so patients can discuss with their doctors? Or fraught with liability issues?
How do I turn SEO skills into a scalable online business?
Currently working full-time (remote) SEO job, doing freelance work for clients + learning to code in spare time. Best path = create a niche SaaS SEO-related business?
Alright I definitely don't know what the date means. I thought it was some reference to Soylent green the movie. Hahahaha completely off. It cost me around 200 bucks for the web hosting and domain for the site I'm building. It's probably going to suck and it is tedious to make. However, once I get that 1st one done I can move on to the 2nd one with more experience. It's like an obstacle I moved out of my way.
I’m 27, working a luxury retail job (watches) for 5 years (~2 years in middle management position). My annual income is about ~$60-80k per year, NW about ~$600k consists of 30% in RE (appreciation investment), 30% in P2P lending, 15% blue-chip stock, 10% crypto (ETH main weight/BTC) with $250k mortgage. I’m married but no kids yet and live quite comfortably in a rental apartment within a complex with fully-equipped amenities in a developing country. I like my job but constantly looking for a “way-out” to build a business on my own for a year now, since my goal is to be in *GROUP 2* ASAP.
Do you have any advices for business ideas/ecom regarding my portfolio and current job? Thanks a lot in advance BTB!
Day job is an actuary. Price, reserve, and invest for insurance and annuity products.
In 30s w a big family...and playing catch-up as kind of a luddite prior to stumbling on WSP right when you were transitioning.
Thinking on targeting the approaching retirement bracket with finance and health (a big interest). Affiliate first to test it if I can get anyone to site and close sales.
Would love to hear any thoughts.
Also, last 6 months is most fun I've had learning in this community. Appreciate what your doing ser
The passage about becoming a doctor or lawyer is harsh but true. If you want to have a terrible lifestyle and work 80+ hours per week do something with a higher wealth ceiling than medicine. It’s basically a guaranteed upper middle class life, which might sound good to some but it’s probably the worst bracket to be in.
Pharmacist here working in an outpatient setting at a hospital. Just came across BTB this year and feeling the NGMI urgency. About to hit 35 and have been searching for ways to create additional income streams. Stuck thinking how to leverage my career for an online business? Secondly, if starting now from scratch, would you pursue selling your own products online or affiliate marketing with niche websites?
Appreciate the straightforward content, I’m accepting the hard truth and trying to pivot going forward!

24 from a 3rd world country. Skilled at copywriting and working with international clients to sell digital courses and e-commerce products.
Focusing on that as my monitizable skill/career.
Now making anywhere from $1,500 to $5,000 per month.
It helps that I speak a little bit of French, Spanish and Chinese.
Upside of my country is there’s no taxes so I get to keep all the income.
Downside is that purchasing power is low, it’s a shitty place to live and it almost impossible to find a job that pays more than $500 a month 😂
Any advice on turning this into a $100k per year career?
