    (Radio Interview) Freedom, Motivation, & Grow What You Know

    MINDSET 
    Thanks, @Andy Black for reminding me of this post. I'm in the process of making a very similar business work, with a few major improvements. Posting in the same style would be fun. What will you do differently going forward? One of best reasons to get started in a business is you can not get...

    How do I learn copywriting as a teen?

    earn - obtain (money) in return for labour or services. make - form (something) by putting parts together or combining substances; create. Source: Google Dictionary. Pretty similar, but I guess earn has an accent on putting and effort and deserving it in return, while make is more like...

    What high income skill should I learn to make money online?

    Well... you would still solve the problem with outsourcing, right? Bring results to other people/businesses, that's what matters.

    What high income skill should I learn to make money online?

    Yes, at first. But freelance programming is a direct exchange of time for money. While Google Ads are an infinitely more scalable skill. Running Ads for $150 a month is not conceptually much different from running them $10k a day. A startup/product is a scalable option for programmers, but...

    Hi!

    INTRO 
    You have huge experience in what you do. It's also pretty unique. That makes your experience very valuable. Before thinking of scaling a business you need a business ;). Sure, programming a tool that would solve a real problem in your industry is an option. But you can actually outsource...

    Hi!

    INTRO 
    Sorry for just connecting dots here, but @Dedalo must have missed something. Here it is: Good that you've quit. I would happily exchange my [a lot] years of programming experience for your skills. Formula 1 and Aerospace is WAY COOLER and has a lot higher barrier of entry.

    Great, now we have some progress, acknowledging the problem is the first step to solve it! Now Embrace that the process won't be easy. It might be fast, but fast is a few years (months if lucky), not tomorrow. Listen to all the bits of advice from other people in your threads. Many of them...

    Any of the other two would be better: making - doing something to achieve results, the process money - merely an outcome, a measure of your value online - freedom, a way out from the mentality of people in place you live, ability to connect with successful people

    Failure is not an option

    Little off-topic: There are lots of opportunities for local businesses here in Ukraine. Came to a haircut saloon: me: Can I have a haircut? employee: No me: Why? employee: We're busy me: Ok... so maybe later? employee: No, we have schedules till the evening me: So... maybe put me on tomorrow...

    What high income skill should I learn to make money online?

    Once you have some money, they become less important. Freedom, time, moral, ethics, value and having an influence become top priorities. Not a huge amount of money is sufficient for this shift. Get your living expenses covered, have some saving to be sure in tomorrow and some funding for small...

    What high income skill should I learn to make money online?

    Now that I've re-read it... You've got plenty of suggestions in your previous thread. Everything is hard and demands a lot of time and effort. Being good in copywriting just requires way more experience than other skills you were suggested. There are no shortcuts.

    How to get interaction from others?

    EXECUTION 
    Just focus on solving their problem. In your example, yes, outsource. But finding a good outsourcing partner, communicating with him and supervising him requires TIME too. You can help with that.

    What high income skill should I learn to make money online?

    I do :smile2:. He reminds me of many friends in my 16-18 that actually wanted to do something, but had a flawed mindset and were money-chasing instead. He's young and lives in a country that's pretty poor. SCRIPT is very strong there. He had ZERO chances to get the right mindset in his age and...

    Pretty much everyone here agreed that Google Ads is the closest open door to your current position. Check out @Andy Black threads in his signature and start learning. I suspect you don't have much money in your 17, so you won't be able to do it in his way, but you can offer your service for...

    Hm... Average salary is 3x bigger than here, but purchasing power parity is only 50% more. Which is still 2.5x less than in the US or major European countries. That's a poor people's mentality and very hard to change... Get away from it and build strong walls against it.

    Where do you live? Cause it sounds pretty familiar... Pre-made designs also have a problem - they have a lot of content that's matched to fill the theme. Once you remove or replace that content it often doesn't look that great. Most businesses actually don't need a lot of content and huge...

    Totally agree. Google Ads: very little but top quality copywriting for headlines + optimizations skill/experience. Web Design: yeah, Wordpress is easy, but one would still need some Design skill and basic knowledge in HTML/CSS/Plugins. Copywriting: requires lots of experience in different...
