Making money is probably one of the hardest things to master. This is especially true if you live outside of the United States. Did you know that about 1/4 of all the money made on planet Earth was earned in the United States. Despite them falling off a little, they are incredibly rich. Either way, the point of this article is to teach you how to make more money, regardless of where you live. The principles are pretty much the same no matter where you go.
Get a job
It’s probably going to take a while for you to crack the influencer code. Unless you have rich parents, you’re going to need to put food on the table. This means getting a job. The easiest jobs to get involve manual labor and sales. Especially if those jobs involve being outside in the cold. You can find these jobs on online job boards like Craigslist, or on physical message boards in coffee shops and other public places. Personally, I’ve never had trouble finding a job in door to door sales if I wanted one. But I would go for something in manual labor, that way you won’t have to worry about making money.
Start buying and selling something
This is the fastest way to get your hands on some money. Buy or find something that you can sell, and sell it. Then, find more stuff that you can sell for a profit and buy that. You want something that’s in demand and can sell fast, that way you’re not often stuck with product on hand. The best type of products are consumable commodities like coffee or sugar. When you start buying and selling, keep the money you make from your product separate from your other money.
Learn a skill
Having a job and a side hustle will make you good money, but you’re not going to want to be working too hard forever. Nowadays assett prices are inflated. The internet has made it a lot harder to get by simply on the basis of self-taught skill. My main skill right now is writing. That being said, I am learning computer science in university. I’ve designed a couple of websites in the past. We’ll see how well that skill pays me in the future.
Create Content
We’re at a weird place in human history. The world is becoming very, very wealthy. But most of that wealth is in the hands of the old. Nowadays, it’s practically impossible for a young person to start a brick-and-mortar business because they simply don’t have the funds. This creates a wonderfully unique problem of supply and demand that anybody who’s willing to fill a gap can solve.
Save
Interest rates are back up. For the first time in a long time, a penny saved is actually a penny earned. If you can save 10% of your income and invest it in a high interest savings account or the stock market, you’re going to be far ahead of the game. Getting your spending under control is hard. The easiest way to do it is to stop buying luxury clothes, never eat out, and never do drugs and alcohol. Drugs and alcohol are a massive expense. If you’re involved with those and struggling to save, you know why. Learn to live a minimalistic lifestyle. Use the internet instead of watching TV. Walk instead of driving. Avoid materialism. Materialism is for losers, as far as I’m concerned. I’ve lived a fairly short life, but I’ve never met a materialistic person who was in the top 1% of income or wealth. Real money just seems to elude these types, from the little that I’ve seen.
Invest
This is the best way to get wealthy. Making lots of money is good for getting your feet under you and paying off your daily expenses, but if you don’t invest you just won’t get ahead. Investing allows your money to work for you. When you put money into an asset and the asset you purchase increases in value, you have the opportunity to sell and live off of the difference between the increase in value and your initial investment. It doesn’t sound like a huge deal when we talk about small numbers or short-term gains, but investing can bring in serious revenue over time. Just check out this calculator to see what you can make over time.
Anyways, that’s how you make more money. It isn’t easy, but its simple. With time, effort, and discipline, anybody can do it. In my experience, it always takes a few months of practice for you to get the point where you’re earning good money doing something, unless its a really tough salaried job. This means that the most common way for most people to earn money is to work longer hours. Most people don’t want to do this, and most people don’t have the discipline to save. This is why most people end up being average. But that’s all a choice, and with a bit of effort you can set yourself apart.
