And what's with you guys and "getting a job"? Isn't this what MJ advises against in his books? The slowlane?The best reply after reading everything
1)You don't want a tech skill
2)You don't want loads of cash
3)You are an introvert
4)You are shy
5)You are searching something to interest you but when people give you ideas, you shut them down without trying it
6)You want to make a quick buck
The best advice for you is to get a job. No questions asked, don't continue this thread. You need a job more than you think. A waste of time. Go get a job and learn hard work
I've mentioned over a gazillion times on this thread that jobs in my city don't pay really well, and it's weird that MJ should say thatHe said get a job. Its right there, read his message
You don't seem to want to put in the hard work. I know it doesn't pay well, but it will teach you how to work hard and you'll be learning skills like systems, processes and communication.I've mentioned over a gazillion times on this thread that jobs in my city don't pay really well, and it's weird that MJ should say that
But if MJ said that, I'll think about it
No. There are no other suggestions. You are destined for a job for the rest of your life.I've said several times that jobs in my country don't pay really well. Besides, I'm still in college. Can you suggest something else?
You also said that you don't want to take entrepreneurship now, so you're left with the Slowlane. Either choose Slowlane and get a job, or take the longer path with Entrepreneurship.And what's with you guys and "getting a job"? Isn't this what MJ advises against in his books? The slowlane?
Did he use Chat gpt? It sure as hell looks like he did, I ran it into Chat gpt and it said it generated it.One option for potentially making quick money could involve investing in either cryptocurrency or the stock market. However, it is essential to note that trading in these markets is not without its complexities and risks, especially for inexperienced individuals. While luck may play a role, successful trading often requires knowledge, analysis, and risk management. For instance, buying a cryptocurrency at a lower price and selling it for a higher price can lead to profits, but it's crucial to approach such investments with caution and a clear understanding of the market dynamics
There's something about it that doesn't sound right, apart from being basically off-topic and not really answering the OPs question. The poster's only other post has been removed because it was ChatGPT text.Did he use Chat gpt? It sure as hell looks like he did, I ran it into Chat gpt and it said it generated it.
Yeah how do we get someone to delete the message and maybe the account? I mean it’s used gpt for both of its msgsThere's something about it that doesn't sound right, apart from being basically off-topic and not really answering the OPs question.

Who cares?I don't also like web design
It is up to you.I don't know my strengths or what I'm good at. I'm still searching.
Go play video games and eat giant noodles.I'm willing to change my beliefs about money, and I'm also willing to put in some work. What can I do?
There's a problem with you.but I stopped because it seemed a little complicated
Oh God!!!!it's kind of a disgrace.
And you don't want to learn a skill.Again, you're talking about entrepreneurship when I just want to learn a skill and make money.
@MJ DeMarco might want to restrict your freedom to talk on this forum.How does this metaphor relate to entrepreneurship?
And doesn't having the skill relate to eating?
#landfill this thread please, I can’t help but realize some people probably quit this forum because this thread was the first one they saw.
Maybe you should try something that excites you. It is difficult to suggest skills without any knowledge of your past experiences.I'm re-reading TMF and I recently read the chapter about oil change and that information is freely available and should not come loaded with conformity or parasitic debt.
I want to learn a skill from an inexpensive resource that will make me money and I'm currently struggling.
People in this forum that have learned a skill and made money from it, please refer me to a link where you learned your skill from.
I'm really broke and I live in a third world country. So these resources should please be free or not be more than $10 or higher than $20. I would really prefer free resources.
And also, I don't really like tech skills or digital skills. They seem kind of hard. I'm looking for soft skills. But you can still recommend the tech or digital skills if you know any.
Lastly, pls don't recommend web development or anything related to programming. I started it last year but I now dislike it.
Thank you.

Hi @PavanWilfred ... you'll find it works much better in forums to become a member of the community first. Be helpful, supportive, and add value. Over time you'll get known as helpful, supportive, and maybe as "The XYZ Guy". Then people will start reaching out to you instead.Hi, this is Pavan, email me at <removed by mod>. I can help out.
Copywriting taught me a lot and was a great profit generating skill compared to the money I spent learning it. Plus, it taught me marketing and selling. You trade your time for money but it is a great "first" marketable skill to learn if you are not good at anything yet. I recommend Dan Kennedy, John Carlton, Gary Halbert and Russell Brunson.I'm re-reading TMF and I recently read the chapter about oil change and that information is freely available and should not come loaded with conformity or parasitic debt.

Hey Makaveli,Copywriting taught me a lot and was a great profit generating skill compared to the money I spent learning it. Plus, it taught me marketing and selling. You trade your time for money but it is a great "first" marketable skill to learn if you are not good at anything yet. I recommend Dan Kennedy, John Carlton, Gary Halbert and Russell Brunson.
Be careful limiting spending only $10 or $20 for education though, because spending on self-education is always worth it. (And free resources, like YouTube, is often not a system. Invest in a system and you will make your money back if you implement it.)
Best of luck.
Happy to share.Hey Makaveli,
I too see huge potential in copywriting. Please share your journey. How did you go from a beginner to the level you are now?
what would you recommend to new beginners/novices?
Thank you for this. I am also victim to “practicing and hoarding” theories, books and courses just for the sake of “perceived” movement.Happy to share.
Started my sophomore year of college, chose copywriting due to low start up costs (all you need is a laptop, which I already had due to college) and I was good at writing compared to other skills at the time. Chose it because I was a philosophy major and for the most part, the 2 generally accepted pathways for a phil major to make a living after graduation are: 1. Become a professor, 2. Become a lawyer. (I have not read Millionaire Fastlane at the time). Neither path seemed appealing so I chose the marketing route.
Some of the first books I started with were: The Ultimate Sales Letter by Dan Kennedy, The Boron Letters by Gary Halbert, Kick-a$$ Copywriting Secrets of a Marketing Rebel by John Carlton, and Dotcom Secrets by Russell Brunson (not strictly copywriting book, more on funnel design but I think it's a must-read).
Here's what I recommend to beginners/novices:
Start on Fiverr and Upwork offering 10 headlines for $10 (this was my tripwire offer) and upsell clients on higher level services by speaking with them over the phone.
My funnel was: 10 headlines for $10 >> after the work was done, get them on the phone for a "satisfaction survey" >> upsell them on higher tier offers, like landing pages, full sales letters and full funnel design >> after the project is done, upsell them again on a retainer program (monthly pay) so I can keep their funnel running.
It worked pretty well (for my standards at the time) and allowed me to travel and live the "laptop lifestyle" in 3rd world countries after graduation.
(I think "laptop lifestyle" actually kind of sucks but that's a story for another time.)
You go from beginner to beyond by DOING. And there is a difference between writing copy just for practice vs actually writing copy for client. I made the mistake of practicing too much before actually writing for clients. Don't repeat my mistake. Your mediocre knowledge of copy will be exponentially better than your client's 0 knowledge of copy, so your mediocre copy is actually helping them. Start with paid work as soon as possible.
Hope this helps.
Youtube and Udedmy are very good places to start to learn everything, anyway , try to get your hands on a teacher as soon as possible.I'm re-reading TMF and I recently read the chapter about oil change and that information is freely available and should not come loaded with conformity or parasitic debt.

I just looked over it an d thanks to you I have the solution now. TXWhat a steaming pile of shit this thread is.
i really needed to hear this todayIf you are really broke then why care for the opinion of other people for taking menial jobs? You're just holding yourself back. You have a problem on how you see things. If you can just reframe how to see things to serve you, you will get fast money.
