I had a CMS business running for a few years. I love making web pages but I spent a majority of my time chasing business. I hated that part (even though I was good at it). Eventually sold my accounts to my cousin and went back to a 9-5.

The business model is solid though, once you peek out the income is passive - just like real estate.

Not that it is nessesarily in the spirit of your post, but lots of companies and moving towards work from home for an increasing number of roles. The technology is now in place to keep people plugged in to all the company resources from anywhere with broadband internet.

My company started moving people to home work stations a few years ago as a stop gap measure to retain trained people who were moving away and would otherwise quit, and quickly found great utility in it and have started exploring a remote work program offered to anyone who wants it.

For the right person it's a sweet deal. You get a full work station ( computers, phones, duel monitor set up ect) and get to just chill in your underwear at work all day.

The only reason I haven't gone down that road is its kind of a dead end. To move into the higher paying gigs you need to be in the office. Although I have often considered the utility in moving somewhere with no job market and just taking my job with me. Lots or cool places that no one lives because there because no jobs.

3-year Copywriter here.

I consider myself an intermediate Copywriter, learning fast but still not making any passive income yet, but I do make a full time income online from freelancing, so hopefully this thread will help some people to bail.

Yeah it's not big bucks, you can expect maybe 5-6k a month if you do it full time, but for those who don't have six figure online empires yet, it's a very cool stepping stone because it's a relatively easy way to become location independent and travel the world.

Jim works from home on the internet and makes $50b a week. I didn't believe him until he showed me the check!

Now about that bridge you like so much. If that's the kind of thing you are talking about come on man.

I worked from home for many years but it was in a well established legitimate industry and it happened after many years of making connections and then the worked dried up because companies decided remote work wasn't happening and sent the remote work to companies and called it outsourcing. Things are kind of fluid.

You can make a lot of money on Youtube but you need to have lots of subscribers. I did a bit of work for a guy who's making maybe 24k a month doing that but he has rich parents and they bought him all the cameras and managed the business until things got off the ground. One of the guys he worked with told me that the industry is "still pretty shady but getting better."

I'll lay out the road map I'm following for you... again this is not big cash but it will set you free from the cubicle, from the winter, from the commute, from office politics, from alarm clocks, from schedules, from high prices in the West, and on and on... and it can land you at the beach, or in a Ski resort, or in a café in Paris... all up to you. It's the easiest step toward freedom I know of. My road map is the following five steps, in the following order:

1. Free up your time
2. Free up your location
3. Passivize your income
4. Scale up your income
5. Invest and retire

>> No.831365

>>831363
Let me elaborate:


1. FREE UP YOUR TIME

To make any amount of money online in any way, shape or form, you will first need some time to create the income stream. That goes for active income aka freelancing online too... so find ways to scale up your hourly rate in your offline life, and scale down your expenses. But how do you scale down your expenses? Anything you can do to cut costs WILL be worth it, I promise - cheaper rent, less going out, less eating out, etc. And how do you scale up your offline income? As soon as you make enough money to live on, you start looking for something that pays more. And you keep swapping jobs / clients / projects until you make enough to live on just a few hours per week.

That was my first step - I finally achieved an 8 hour work week (offline) in 2013, following this formula and gradually increasing my hourly income to 6x what I had started with. It was all offline, i.e. not location independent, not scalable, not passive. But it gave me a good foundation to build an online income stream.

>> No.831367

>>831365
2. FREE UP YOUR LOCATION

Once you have enough free time to pursue online cash, start signing up for the big 5 freelancing sites (guru, elance, upwork, vworker, freelancer). Build out your profile, pay for membership and start bidding on projects DAILY. I got started with Eben Pagan's "Ignition". His most hated program and yeah I guess it's kinda shitty but there is a section about freelancing in Module 5 that really did get me ignition! Check it out.

There are all kinds of skills that are in demand on these boards. I chose Copywriting since I had a knack for writing in general. Even writing pays really well if you're an expert on something or do good research, and if you can deliver good content. I know most of you pay 1-5$ per article... that may be fine for spiders. I charge 120 dollars per article, and the guy I write them for drives millions of readers a year to my posts... there are people who are willing to pay for quality. Find them. It may take a while but don't deal with bottom feeders.

>> No.831368

>>831367
ADVANCED SHIT

3., 4., and 5. - I won't comment too much on these points as I haven't achieved it just yet, and I prefer to only ever speak from experience. But I will still give my two cents on passive income vs. scalable income. I think passive income from a business is nice, but it usually still requires maintenance and it won't last forever... so I am more focused on building something scalable to create a large lump sum of cash to invest... and then the investment will throw off the passive cash flow. Read MJ DeMarco's Millionaire Fast Lane for more on that mindset.

I can share some specifics and what-not if you'd like, let me know what you're interested in and I'll share what I can.

I'm not a native English speaker BTW so this definitely applies to all you non-natives.

>> No.831566

Basically it's salesmanship in print. Copywriting is a piece of text with a purpose to gain Attention, Interest, Desire and Action from the reader.

There are numerous ways to achieving it, from sales letters, Video Sales Scripts, landing pages, articles, Email Campaigns and everything in between.

It's a creative process, but a structured one in the same time, using known strategies, approaches, etc., to convert readers into customers.

Also, I chose to excel in this skill because it's invaluable when creating your own business. Top copywriters charge over 50k for a project, but with their persuasive writing that product/service can amass 10MM.

To me that's everything.

Isn't copywriting subjective? Like can you show me examples of good copy vs bad? I'm pretty sure I'm good at it, but it's fucking hard to know tbh.

>> No.831917

>>831902
Copy writing isn't subjective because it has specific and measurable goals. A good copywriter puts his copy together through split testing response, not jerking off into paper. This used to be extremely difficult and expensive, but with the internet you can do it easily. If you want to be taken seriously as an independent copywriter, make case studies of you increasing conversions or action taking through testing. Everybody thinks they can write, until they actually have to sell something through it.

Also, I did affiliate marketing pushing weight and muscle rebills for years and made plenty of money from home as do thousands of others right now. I have yet to meet somebody successful in affiliate marketing that wasn't scamming people and walking a thin legal line at best, though (rebills are actually some of the less life-destroying offers out there and they are pretty bad). Many of my contemporaries are in prison or had to sign their life away to the FTC (forced to agree to never use the internet again for marketing again).

>> No.831926

>>831917

I know the drill though, in affiliate marketing long time myself, familiar with split testing, unbounce, VWO, etc. I guess doing case studies I haven't seen many indie copy writers publish really, so I guess that makes all the difference.

I tend to stay away from models that are over 2 years old, unless they're a classic that seems to keep on selling (iPhone 4's, Galaxy S3's). Most of what I'm selling these days are Galaxy S4's, S5's, iPhones 5, 5S, 6, 6 Plus, LG G2, G3, etc.

>>831943
I get most of mine from Usell. It's much quicker than eBay and everything is automated for you.

The second best source is locally (craigslist). The good thing about buying locally is that people are stupid and tend to undervalue their device. I bought an S6 locally for $300 and sold it for $600. It can be quick, easy money. One big downside though is that people will be trying to sell you fake phones and phones with a bad ESN (bad ESN phones instantly lose 50% of their value). I would say 80% of my phones are from Usell and 20% are from local customers.

>what's the best to sell them on?
Broken devices? eBay. Lots of gold scavengers and repair shops use eBay. Fully functional devices? Amazon or Swappa. Swappa is a nice place since the users are really elitist and are usually willing to pay more. I like Amazon because devices sell quickly on there but they only deposit my payments every 2 weeks so it can be pretty disruptive to my cashflow.

The profits are not great, let me tell you. I've made around $16 in less than a week. I think I spend a majority of my time refreshing the "Find Work" page more than I do actually working. When I do find a task it's very monotonous and tiresome. I'm sure I would make much more money if I had the qualifications to do the actual writing tasks, but the tests are very difficult. I would consider myself capable of writing a 100 word summary over most anything but I'll be damned if I can't even pass the grammar test you have to take beforehand. Other than that, there's a "Senior Quality Assurance Specialist" test with such ambiguous questions it may be harder than the grammar one. Who knows, maybe I'm an idiot.

I could buy broken iPhones for 1/4th the price and fix them up in less than 5 minutes.

I even went on to accepting bad ESN phones because I could flip them on eBay.
(sellers switch phones for new ones for around $50bucks, crazy huh).

Then everyone around me started bringing in iCloud locked phones + wasting my time with noshows/fake money/etc. So when I fixed a broken phone, turned out to be iCloud locked. If it was just password I could have had it removed easily.

I got around 4-5m views to make 3.3k, I probably spend a few hours a day making gaming videos, I'm very lazy though I probably could be on 1 million subscribers and 10k$ a month if I was motivated (there's been times where I've gone inactive for like 6 months because Im at university too)

I make game videos, it revolves around games but the game that is the most popular on my channel right now will probably dwindle in the next few years and I'm already at university so it would be too risky to drop out so I'm sticking it out for a few years, I could try full time youtube if I'm still popular in 2 years time,
I don't show my face, I'm with machinima but it's pointless being with networks these days, it's better just to have vanilla youtube partnership in my opinion (as long as you upload minecraft and shit - which I do)

there's thousands of people earnings 100$+ a day on youtube, tens of thousands, put it this way, my channel has 100k+ and there's like 20-50k channels with more than me, most of them will be making 100$ a day if they're active

4) Some guy says he makes 5-6K writing articles for 120 each. How did he arrive to get paid 120 each? Who fucking knows. Why would anyone pay 120 for an article when the website that makes the most cash are total trash? (see perezhilton.com) I don't fucking know.

What games exactly do you upload?
What games can one upload if you are with Google Adsense which may fuck you up big time at the minimum copyright infringement, potentially ruining your account forever, besides Minecraft?

Most importantly, how in the living fuck can one get any sort of notoriety off Minecraft games when there are millions of people uploading Minecraft daily? And you aren't even showing face, so it's not like you are a good looking PewDiePie guy that would get followers anyway.

There's no "best" because once a "best" is found it gets exploited until it's no longer that great.

also if you wanna do non-minecraft vids, do lets plays of popular games THE DAY THEY COME OUT, no fucking around, literally download it the second it comes out, start recording the second you load itg up, and get it on youtube before everyone else

it works best if there hasnt been leaks or early releases because whoever uploads it first gets views

>So... How do I get a paying job?
By doing free shit for a good long while. Exactly like actors/musos do auditions/busk/volunteer gigs.

Make sure to apply directly if possible for gigs or oppurtunities. Recently, for example, a local company wanted to make an online ad campaign about a bear and its adventures (like the Paddle-pop movie). It hadn't even been green lit, it was still just an idea but I put my stuff to them anyway.

If you're a musician, why are you asking how to do a demo?
Display your breadth of skill (voices [make sure they're distinct. Five good characters are worth more than 12 samey characters]), and demonstration what you (believe you) can do better than anyone else (perhaps a particular set of voices, double-speak, mimicking, etc.).
You could do an extended skit (demonstarting how you can switch on the fly, make it sound like someones just walking in to the room etc), or you can just have the classic show reel with choice snippets of what you've done (but not the porn).

Get social media savy (because it's free real estate). A lot of the time people will (after you've been around for a bit) seek you out but don't get complacent you still gotta drum up business.

Start sooner rather than later. The fact is unless you just start doing it you'll get nowhere (duh). Dabble, test, do work for friends/student/family. Just try it out.

YOUR KEY SKILL/EDGE might be, if you've got the set up and know how, that you can do editing and add effects FOR the clients. Shit, you can add making, writing and playing music to that (need a background track/character theme, I got dis). I did "screenplay" writing as an "extra" skill so clients could (and often did) just give me an outline and let me fill in the script (and then get rejected, and then rinse repeat until it's agreed on).

Hope some of this sorta helps.

okay; I've had a few auditions (for musicals) where I played two characters at the same time, so I could do that i think.....is it worth having male and female characters? my voice gets pretty deep, so I can do a couple of "man voices" (usually i use them then guys keep hitting on me and wont fuck off)

How good are your acting chops? Assessing yourself as objectively as possible. Can you make a brief recording of yourself talking so I can assess your microphone quality, voice, etc? Anything will do. Recite a poem or something. I have a short piece written for a female character that I'm interested in having voiced, but it's not a simple voice over. You'll need to be able to sob, cry, and making retching sounds in addition to the monologue (if you're curious, it's for a piece of short fiction). I would, of course, pay you, and the piece is rather short, so it shouldn't take more than 30-60 minutes of your own time. I can handle the mixing and cleanup. You would also be free to use it as a demo in the future if you wished. Let me know if you're at all interested.

Yes. As a woman you will often get young boy roles (i.e. Prepubescent).
If you can do a convincing male voice, that's awesome. If you can do an all right one it's more a novelty but good to have if you have to play the meta "Female pretending to be a Male but still obviously a Female" gimmick.

>I don't know if i have 5 distinct voices though, i gotta work that out.
Start with three. One being your own "normal" (sic. Optimal [breathing, tone, volume, etc.]) voice, then two more separate distinct ones (high and low usually).
Start with three, then mix those three, like Primary colour Theory in art.
Also. Here's a trick: Try holding cardboard or books in front of your ears when you speak. Ever wonder why you sound different on recordings? Well, that's what other people hear you as. A voice may sound good in your head, but when it gets put through is sounds the same-but-lamer.
>If I do a skit, should i write something? or can i just pull a scene from a movie, or get some sides or something?
That's up to you. I'd suggest writing something, yet including quotes from film or theatre. For example, my first demo was me trying to record a demo of me reading Shakespeare's (guess who also did Drama) 'Cymbeline' as Leonatus, however I kept on getting interrupted by an assortment of characters.
Hell, if you can compose, why not sing as well, or have a song in the background (maybe a cover) by you as you read an audition whilst being interrupted. Narcissistic, but that's the nature of it.
The problem with movies is that, if you're not careful, you can (and I have) get done.
Try dubbing some Chinese cartoons, maybe try to match the original actor, but also try doing your own thing.

Just trying to find freelance work I could do from home or on my own hours. My major skills involve filmmaking, editing, motion graphics and photography so I'm trying to find out how I can optimize and make money from these skills, if there is any money to be made.

I don't know if this counts as online or not because it requires a bit of footwork every year, but I mostly do it sitting on my ass.

I live right beside a college here and the majority of the students are international students (mostly Indian or Chinese), and they have shit English. Every year before school starts (around now, I've been going out for the past week or so and will into September) I go walk around the school and find the groups of Indian dudes sitting around yapping or the Chinese kids walking around looking lost and offer to "help" them with their English for essays and shit by editing them before they hand them in, they just have to write the content.

They pay me per essay that I edit for them, usually $20 unless it's a big essay then more, and most of these students are well off so they don't care. I just take their horrible Engrish and turn it into something readable for them. I don't know the subject so I just keep the content they've put in there (unless they're in a business or finance program which I have knowledge on, then I can help out) and make it sound good, then send it back to them to hand in.

I generally get home from work at 5pm and just do a few essays a night and send it back, pretty easy as a side income. Last year I was getting a lot of them though because they tell their friends, so I might have to devote more time to it this year, we'll see. The best thing about it is once they've used me for one or two essays, they HAVE to use me for the rest of them because if they hand in something with good, readable English, then hand in some horrible shit article that they've written, the teacher is going to know they didn't write the first one, lol.

Don't necessarily need to learn it, I've done similar to a lesser degree. Use websites like Envato to get HTML5 themes and just learn the "copy n' paste" basics to get you by. The real meat is the keyword research/targeting. If you can't get that right you can't get people to your website and therefore not buying the shit you advertise.

I'm thinking about getting into real estate.

I'm a 29 year old single Army vet, no kids. Just spent the last 8 years in IT and hated every second of it. The most rewarding part was face to face helping people and getting really good feedback about how good I was/how I was so different from the average neckbeard techie. The day to day same garbage of server admin and constantly being either completely bored or in some high stress fire had me close to driving off a bridge. Dealing with technical people with no troubleshooting ability or getting that 2AM call because something is down was garbage and no matter how much time I put in my salary stayed pretty crap tier.

I was going to go all in on software engineer because the dev pay and work/life balance is a lot worse than being an IT janitor, but the more I think about it the less I want to sit in front of a PC 24 hours a day staring at lines of code and dealing with tech people.

I'm an entrepreneur at heart. I hate working for other people and am extremely self motivated. Back in my early teens I made a ton of cash buying and re-selling virtual MMO goods on eBay and it didn't feel like work at all. When I was in my early 20s I continued that and in a good month made a few grand. Shortly after I deployed to Iraq and since then my life has been a shitfest.

Anyways, I'm you except two years younger and went the Software route when I got out 3 years ago. I'm now working from home and pulling dat dere housing stipend from the G.I. bill at the same time. Not exactly making the $10,000/month some of these other anons on the board are supposedly raking in, but its decent.

Also I'm constantly on the line with my coworkers working out how to solve technical problems, so the moral of the story is that even if you work in a technical field, even if you work from home, even if you never step foot in an office, social skills are important.

Some of the worst features we have in our code base were built by bright developers that had absolutely shit teamwork skills. Same with meetings: we've wasted countless hours trying to reach what were insignificant decisions because of individuals with low emotional intelligence.

So work on that social anxiety anon, I know you can do it. Stop surfing the chon every now and then and say hi to the person at the grocery market.

I worked for U-Haul as a Work From Home Center Sales Agent a few years ago. Pretty easy job, all you need is a computer with hardwired internet. NOT Wifi. People all over the US and Canada call in needing a truck or trailer. Help them reserve it, jot down details (# of rooms, distance, time and date), system shows you which equipment they need, take down their credit card info, boom. $8.25 an hour, plus $2.55 per reservation.

You're required to average 3 reservations an hour, but if you're not a complete fucking retard then 5 reservations per hour is very easy to accomplish.

Media company. We made ebooks, shirts/merch, and soon films. I basically started by using a gaming stream/podcast as a commercial of sorts. This was enhanced by high production values because I taught myself Adobe in high school in my spare time.

I haven't had a job since freshman year in college and I can safely say I'm happy with my decision to fuck off from wageslavery.

My route isn't anything that can be mimicked, though. It's just a series of decisions based entirely off of my personal interests and skills. If I had to offer advice I'd say get a job, any job, and funnel the money into a business. I'm being vague but just start a legitimate business by purchasing an LLC first. Then acquire the skills and knowledge needed to at least begin working said business.

Question for all of you who actually do this.

Aren't you worried about job security? I mean, all of those jobs posted in the pastebin are just services that are temporary and you could be terminated at any time. Furthermore, what will you do when this sort of work is no longer needed, it's not like there will always be a need for Search Engine Evaluators and Content Writers.
