Professional sports coach.

I also own businesses in the ski industry.

I also did some nice property investments back in the day so money from those sits in an offshore investment and earns money.

Has anyone ever been involved with network marketing? I have a chance to get into it but I'm a little skeptical.

It only pays well if you’re in the top 5% of salespeople - by that point you’re only selling to other salespeople.

I’m also looking to get into marketing as a side hustle (sponsored IG posts/influencer shit, affiliate marketing).

Roosh has a recent podcast on affiliate marketing/internet marketing in general. I’d check it out.

Anyone else on here successfully selling ebooks on Amazon? A friend of mine has a project going on that can help boost your sales,, but to benefit from this you'd need to already have decent sales established. (2-3000+ ebooks/month). Not a scam and nothing illegal or gray, just part of the game. PM if interested

That's what it seemed like at the presentation, I'll definitely check it out later today. Thanks!

I have been recording music for a couple years now as a personal project and have decided to make it into a side-hustle, though I really haven't put a lot of effort and resources into putting it out there. This would allow me to work for myself, have a very flexible schedule making my own hours, and take time off whenever I like.

That's not a plan. That's a wish. Do the math and realise it's not a profitable venture. This is a thread about making $$$$$, music production is not about making $$$$$ because most of the time you'll be dealing with broke musicians, freeloaders and favor for favor deals.

One other project that im working on is a niche trade that I will try to master and then later hold courses in that niche trade. Cant really go in on the details on that one yet

Ecommerce. I've built a couple niche websites and I sell membership access to visitors. They're essentially buying access to e-courses that live in the member's backend of the sites. My background is in SEO so I've got the niche sites ranking in google. Been doing this since 2009, although the financial rewards have only really come in the last 2.5 years. Huge learning curve involved to make it in internet marketing, but it is definitely worth the effort.

Can you give a rough idea of net income? PM if you don't want to post.

I'm a teacher. somewhat.

I tutor kids who need to get into the university. Give general career advice too. Given the fact I'm a college student too, I'm making cool cash.

Post: #311

I'm a mariner. Still pretty new to the industry, so not making a lot yet. The potential to make some serious cash is there, and you get to save and invest a lot of it since you're living on a ship with no rent or food expenses. There's also plenty of time to focus on other ways to make money. I've noticed that a lot of mariners waste their money though, so you have to stay disciplined.

I dropped out of college and quit an office job to do this, and I'm loving the lifestyle so far.

Post: #312

Sure. Doing 5 figures per year net. Not doing the big big $ yet but with the way things can be scaled online, there's potential for it. Just need more time for that.

Software sales. Get a job as an SDR/BDR and start hustling. Stupid easy if you like to talk/have a decent personality and have a hustler mentality/ability to grind. Come in early, stay late, hit your number, move up.

I've had a draft eBook kicking around for some time, and I'm determined to get it out this year just to test the water and gain some experience writing and selling eBooks. Does anyone know whether eBooks will support artwork well? Or what the pros and cons would be of including some artwork?

To clarify, I've got half a dozen black and white comic style drawings that I've done myself (including the book cover). These drawings illustrate scenes from the book and complement it well. Quality-wise, they are more than good enough to be put out there, my only issue is with how they reproduce on an ebook? Quite a lot of detail in some of the drawings!

Some people in network marketing do incredibly well but they are the vast majority. Most other people just contribute to that few people at the top.

If your a great salesman and/or have a lot of charisma you can be really effective but IMHO network marketing is kinda a bullshit low barrier to entry business for people who can't hack it as "real entrepreneurs" and who can't create and operate something of their own creation.

IMHO typically anything thats a plan or program laid out for you is going to tend to benefit whoever put the program together moreso than the members or users.

Any advice on running a paid forum or Telegram type group? I'm not really interested in doing courses but wouldn't mind starting some sort of "mastermind group" for lack of a better word. Was looking into paid forum options or maybe a Telegram group but on the Telegram front it would be a pain in the butt manually handling payments and who can stay in the group

Post: #318

I own a paid telegram group for Crypto. It’s pretty simple because I just take a one time payment for everyone new in the group. I really don’t market as much. Majority is just the people I know, forum members and their referrals.

Real estate.

I’m part of a holdings group. We do very good returns buying undervalued properties, renovating them and then using air bnb to double and triple returns.

I’m actually looking for investors right now. 6% back on initial investment plus 50% equity in the property. DM If anyone wants more details.

Rental real estate, one of the oldest ways to stack cash.

Question: Why don't you aim for full-time leases of six months or a year to your tenants instead of using AirBnB, where presumably there is more downtime? Unless you're in a resort town where short-term rentals on weekends/holidays might generate more profit, aren't you leaving something on the table, or am I missing something?

I'm pretty sure 99% of the time you will make more cash renting an apartment on air bnb if in a half decent area over a long-term rent especially after a good refurbishment which is what im planning to do now as can get double or tripple over long term rent atm.
what's people experience on this and selling ebooks you write online for passive income?

You have to clean the units more often and its more involved. Shit like can openers,and towels that you supply get stolen. More dealing with complaints and all that to keep your ratings up. Long term land lords can be more stern in dealing with asshole tennants but with airbnb you're more concerned with providing a good experience for them. If its a vacation area and you can charge super high rates and want to make it a business go for it. If its in the suburbs I'd run the numbers but I doubt its gonna be as profitable as you would hope.
Rental properties really aren't passive income like most people think and airbnb is a lot less passive.

Good Point, I wouldn't go in for air bnb over my solid rent i get each month with all the effort you mention. However, the place is in a good location right in the centre of a popular city for tourism in the very centre of Liverpool (football games, beatles, grand national etc) -

i will be doing it via an air bnb management company based in the city which covers everything you mention from cleaning , marketing, key collection etc and all the properties they manage have good reviews and feedback. they've quoted average returns 3 times i currently get - they charge 15% of my air bnb earnings for it.

I've looked at Airbnb, but for me it's less of a headache with long-term tenants. The vacancies and management/cleaning fees offset the higher daily rent you get from Airbnb.
