[quote=Anonymous]Don’t listen to people saying social media or OF. I’ve worked in both, unless you are extremely hot, it will take 2-3 years until you make $100k (and even then you’re spending 60+ hours a week on content creation).

The absolute fastest way to make money is sales. You have a couple options:

1. Get hired by a company to be a sales rep. They provide training and scripts to follow. You’ll likely be making 100+ calls a day. It’s hard but good money, I’ve worked for places where their sales reps made $300-400k a year literally at home in their PJs.

2. Sell your own service. I did this. I took a course on how to do email marketing, wrote up some spec pieces (basically “fake” emails for other companies I never worked for), then spent several hours a day pitching it to companies. This is harder in that you have to learn both a new skill plus how to sell, but easier in that you can literally get started right away instead of waiting to get hired.

Although, if you’re a good looking young white guy, you can absolutely BS your way into getting “investors” to give you money. I know a guy who would whip up a pitch deck, present to a bunch of old rich guys, and they’d literally throw money at him because he came across as intelligent and attractive. And I guess he was smart, he knew all these tricks to make his projects look legit. [/quote]
