if you're in your twenties and you're making anywhere below 10 K a month listen to me. not trying to sell you one of those Amazon FBA or go do copywriting or any of that other bullshit that it's all over fucking TikTok. Simply as I could put this you basically need to learn how to sell something so that's gonna be your own shit or it's gonna be someone else's shit just pick one of the 2. this is gonna be how to sell someone else's shit. everything in life is sales. faster you learn that the faster you're gonna make more money. you can go one of 2 ways do a selling position that has commission and salary or just pick one that has just commission it doesn't really matter it just depends on what you feel more comfortable doing. if you're selling something really expensive it's gonna be much harder to sell most likely right. my recommendation would be sell something that isn't as expensive that you can make faster commission on because it's an easier sale. tired of seeing people on this app being like oh I make 20 k a month 30 k a month by doing Amazon. not saying it's not possible it absolutely is and you can definitely get there but you have to spend money to start making money. apply to a bunch of sales positions okay apply to tons. a lot are going to say no but all you need is one right. positions that say inside sales rep sales representative closer and it's not something you have to love it's not something you have to be like all passionate about no I'm not fucking passionate about selling but I love the paychecks. if you feel like you need that kind of income to start fostering something else that you're passionate about which is what I'm doing I want to create as much income as I can at this age so I can start dumping it into somewhere else where I can have a career that I'm really passionate about whatever that's gonna be. don't have to be passionate about something right now at 20 4 25 years old however old you are start creating a little pool for yourself and set yourself up financially so you can start to even create the space in your mind to entertain these other things that you might be passionate about. what I learned from being broke for so long is that I couldn't even get myself to the place to think about what am I passionate about because I was so lacking financially that I just didn't have the brain power to even think about what the possibilities could be felt too guilty even doing that I was like I don't even have any money why am I thinking about what I'm passionate about or what I'm not passionate about like I just need money right now. and I'm gonna actually make a video on how to remove these limiting beliefs on pulling in that kind of money for yourself so go check that one out
