I will leave my job in a month because big changes will make this job unbearable. It pays me 45,000$ and it is enough for me. I am 25.
I do not have any higher education and I do not want to work for a boss again. I do not want to go to school for 2-4 years to ultimately work for someone. I want to learn something on the Internet that could make me earn money. I have enough money to survive for 6 months without working. But at the end of this 6 months, I would need to be able to start something that could potentially, with invested time, at least 40,000$ a year.
What really works, biz ? Should I read about eCommerce and start an e-shop ? Pay people to write buzz articles on blogs to make money with ads and affiliate marketing ? Buy things in lots from asia and sell them locally to people or businesses?
Any ideas welcome. The only prerequisites are:
-Less than 2000$ investment
-Skill learnable in 6 months or less (full-time)
-Able to make me earn at least 40,000$, potentially
Working from home is not a prerequisite.
If you are in a position like me and wants to ask questions/contribute, feel free.

Pretty much the same here.
Only I have like $200 and I want only $4000/year since I'm living in a "developing" country. And that's why online freelancing isn't a good option; whatever you offer someone will do it for much less.
Write down the things you like to do in your free time and see how you can monetize them. However making $40k sounds like a lot of work and luck that way.
Right now I'm trading cryptocoins and make profit but since I have a small capital my gains are small too.

>>1667394
Probably the easier thing would be to adjust your lifestyle for the change in pay...

>>1667394
OP this is a recipe for disaster. Why don't you keep the job and try to start something on the side first? If it works out you can always quit your job later.

I just bought half an acre of land in a really nice gated community in northern Michigan because I was bored.
Does anyone want to move in and build a cottage and live in it or something? I don't really care what you do with it. I'd only want like $35 a month to cover taxes and fees.
There's an indoor swimming pool and ice skating rink and everything.

a contract which would be amazingly difficult to uphold or enforce.
I'm not sure why anyone would enter into such an agreement when they could presumably buy their own lot for less than it would cost to litigate the contract. They could likely get the land for less than a lawyer would charge to draw up the paperwork.

Say you're given the full-time labor of the world's most capable software engineer and computer scientist for a short period of time, say 1-3 years. The only flaw: he has precisely zero creative capacity outside of the task he's given.
What do you have him develop or invent for you that would provide the greatest payoff?

I really have no problem making money, but its kind of rediculous that I put all this work into a degree and because of actions that have nothing to do with my work ability I wouldn't be able to get a job. I've worked since I was 18 and enjoy working for what I have. Its frustrating.

I want some opinions on $MCWEF. It's MCW Energy Group Ltd. It has a plant in Utah converting oil sands into light crude using a proprietary eco-friendly method. It seems like it has a niche market nobody else is doing and has great potential but on the other hand its a tiny company that does not turn a profit ever since fuel prices are low still and they have a lot of debt.
I feel unconventional oil sources are the future of energy and petroleum prices will remain high forever. I think their tech being eco friendly has a huge market... in 10-20 years. But shares are dirt cheap and why not?
That said Im worried some other larger firm will develop a similar but superior method or the company will just go bankrupt or turn into a shell company that owns nothing but a few patents.
Any ideas?

Hey /biz/,
I'm planning on self-publishing a product on Steam. I've been working on the project itself for months, things are going well on that front, but now I'm wondering about a few of the more technical aspects of this thing.
>What's the best way to create a .com website?
So many "guide" websites are just shilling for their own web hosting services, and I don't want to get ripped off when creating a simple website for marketing and selling the product directly (and bypassing the Steam cut).
>For a simple website, is Wordpress any good?
I'm mainly concerned about pimping out the presentation. If there's a clearly superior alternative, I'd love to know what it is.
>Do I need to "create a company", and declare it to my country's administration?
Or can I just link my Paypal account to Steam and keep the revenue undeclared?
I personally don't need to keep the revenue under the table, but I don't want to go through paperwork unless there's a clear benefit to it.
>Is going through Steam Greenlight mandatory/preferrable?
Do people even pay attention to Greenlight anymore? So much shit to stir through, I personally haven't gone in there to browse/thumbs up products in months.
>Is Good Old Games any good?
I personally only used GoG to buy a few select "pre-patched" old school games while they were dirt cheap, but there's usually no way I'd go there for anything else, especially modern.
--------------
Feel free to ask me for details on the project if necessary, I'll be trying to find answers to these questions myself in the meantime. Cheers.

>What's the best way to create a .com website?
The absolute simplest one? Wordpress template on Godaddy - domain for $10, and hosting for $100.
If you actually want a decent site done, sky is the limit. Hosting on heroku (host + db) will run you $17/m
>Do I need to "create a company", and declare it to my country's administration?
> keep the revenue undeclared?
Depends on the country. You can just use your own name. Most likely Paypal will send a tax form to you, or youll have to request one.
>Is going through Steam Greenlight mandatory/preferrable?
Yes, although its not what it used to be. 30% up lets you in I've heard
>Is Good Old Games any good?
No idea. Try humble bundle instead for alternative distribution
Did you make the game in Unity/Unreal?

Nope, this is a Ren'Py project.

>>1666817
While I'm at it, what do you think about the idea of Self-Publishing via my website at first, and THEN apply to Steam Greenlight? Giving out Steam keys to previous owners once I'm allowed in.
Might be a good way to "guarantee" a Greenlight pass, although if you're correct, it's not necessary in the least.

>got fired today
>700 euro in bank
>Uni starts in Januari
Need 1.5k euro for the upcoming study year. How do I manage to get this in a month time?
Finding for a new job will cost me a couple of weeks easy, in the meantime I'm sitting on my ass at home. It's really frustrating knowing that I'm throwing time and money away that I potentially could have made meanwhile looking for a new job.
Am I fucked? I refuse to sit behind my laptop doing nothing and wait till my study starts with a nice loan deep up in my anus.
Hook a nigga up.

How the hell do you collect money from YouTube?
I made my first video, it got 400,000 views but my adsense application got declined
How do I get paid for this shit?

On youtube videos you get paid for the ads.
( when they are clicked )
You need to connect your adsense account to your YT acc and activate monetization. Do this in "creator studio" on YT.
The 400,000 views means nothing, because no ads was activated. BUT if you can get an adsense acc, (email google support) then you can get paid from future views :)
>>
>>1666767
I have ads on my video (not claimed by a 3rd party), but my adsense application keeps getting rejected for some reason.
Is it because I only have 1 video on my channel?
>>
>>1666767
Not all ads are pay per click.
Id explain in detail how YouTube works but I'm playing peek a boo with a brown snake and its going to be intense so gotta set my phone down.
