@ZaidKhan-pb3ht that's true but it's not the kind of marketing I mean. Sure you can make killer texts to convince people to buy that product. But if you don't market that to the companies that want to sell the product; you're not going to have any customers. The most important skill will always be; being able to find and convince your customers that they need to spend money on you, whether that is a company or an individual.
@@dodopson3211 Remember, you cannot include everything in a video. And students don't want to get everything they need to know in a single video. Let's appreciate what's given. And perhaps, what you think was missing was already recorded before.

I definitely feel like people don't talk about how you can teach yourself skills and actually be successful with customers. I feel like there is a pressure that tells us we can only use and tell people we know something when we have gone to college for it only. I love how this channel has really opened my eyes on the fact that I can continue to learn things even without certificates or degrees and still be successful. Sometimes I feel like it's cheating, but in life it is actually okay to say you know something when you have taught yourself. Too many of us struggle with imposter syndrome which is truly sad and many wonderful people out there can't do what they truly want simply because they think they are not good enough.
Having the skills is really important, but you also need to have proper motivation and proper strategy. Thankfully, this year I started my dropshipping business, and honestly it was really tough in the beginning. But patience and hard work (with a bit of winnerzila) is key to success!!

I had my own business communications company when I was in my 20s. I worked with small businesses in my area, writing annual reports, etc. Then, somehow, I got hooked up with a marketing agency that had some large business-to-business clients. He subcontracted a job to me from an international wall coverings company that sold to firms that built high rises, luxury hotels, resorts. They had a product line of 40 wall coverings, each with three color ways. My job was to come up with names for all of that. OH MY GOD! The money I made for just coming up with names for a bunch of wallpaper! It took me, maybe 15 to 20 hours, and I made a small fortune.
Over the past 10-15 years, I've been building a bunch of high value skills (I didn't realize throughout this time... I was just following skills that interested me). Marketing (email, organic and FB/IG ads), project management, online business operations (including some popular software programs like Asana, Canva, Convertkit, ActiveCampaign), graphic design, copywriting. It takes time to learn and practice these, but now I work from home part-time and get the same income as if I was working full time locally. And I can now use these skills to build something for myself. It's never a bad idea to learn any/all of these skills. Even if you aren't an expert in one of them, but you know a good amount of each, you will do great and get paid really well!
I have zero coding knowledge (only know some basic python) . If I were to start now, How long does it take to become good coder that can build products?
This is great advice! my question is, after you’ve built the skill how do you go about finding the businesses that would be interested? Because he did say those free lancing sites may not be the best way to go about this,so how would you then target the businesses looking for your skills.
Awesome video. I am self-taught Software Developer in the UK and I love what I do. Glad you mentioned developers in the video as one of the high income skills. What most developers including myself struggle with is coming up with good and valuable product ideas.
hello, where do you advertise youself?? how (or through what) do you contact the big businesses ??? freelance? (sorry if my english is not good im not a native speaker !)
I'm going deep on being a Writer. Still skeptical about the high income skill part of writing since I don't make money yet from it. But my Newsletters recieved a lot of positive feedbacks. So I guess I'm doing the right thing. Thanks Ali

hello, where do you advertise youself?? how (or through what) do you contact the big businesses ??? freelance? (sorry if my english is not good im not a native speaker !)
This is all cool, but the important thing is reaching out and finding clients, you need a system set which allows you to regularly look for clients and get new clients till you have enough high paying clients, that’s the main skill and you can learn it by doing but there aren’t enough resources on how to do that and avoiding the pitfalls

28:22 coding has changed my life in a two-year period since I decided to go full-time doing. I have been earning money as a dev for more than 10 years. I do have to say that the job market for a junior developer is very tough, even for a senior dev like me, things aren't easy right now. I know things will shift, but right now is not as easy as it was when I went at it full-time.

Dear Ali and team, what a nicely arranged video: I love the color-scheme, the scribble-technic, and the many mini-advertisements for "THE book". Very cool. :-)
I don't think you should encourage people to view being a doctor as a 'low income skill'. It's valuable to society. I think more emphasis in gen z should be placed on how to improve society and make the world a better place not personal profit.
@@lh6842 He said being a doctor is a low income skill, and that's the truth. He added, that after years of practice it becomes a high value skill. That's also the truth. The title of the video is not about saving the moral values of the world, it's about the skills you'll benefit from, if you are student. In fact, you can still be a med student and aim for the skills he mentions.
Hello ! Even though the chances of you actually ever reading this comment are so small, I am SO SO grateful that you put this information out for free ! Just framing the whole world of options is of so much value Bigbig thank you from me ☀️ Greetings from 🇧🇪
well, maybe I am a marketing idiot but for the last 20 years I never earned 6 figures / year in a software engineering industry. Recently achieved half of it. Businesses here in Poland and in Europe basically don't pay such money. And they all require to have at least bachelor's degree in computer science. Clickbait?
Yes! these people live in a bubble thinking that all businesses around the world would pay such money to someone that doesn’t have a degree just to “educate” them on softwares that, like he said, could be easily learned by watching videos on youtube, I’m honestly tired of watching these youtubers speaking just from experience, clearly making a fallacious argument, I guess I fell for the bait too.
True. My portfolio was diversified across several markets with the help of a financial planner, and were able to achieve over a million in net profit among high dividend yield equities, ETFs, and bonds. It is vital that you have a variety of exposure, including in firms that are currently generating cash flows.
How fortunate we are! It was simple to locate your guidance. I researched her well before we spoke on the phone. Her resume suggests that she may be qualified.
These things are easier said than done. I have designers and all who have been laid off because of AI. A high income skill without good demand coupled with poor marketing of skills make a lot of people fail.
While I would love to start in one of the fields mentioned in the Video (and have already acquired the skills needed), I don’t have any Idea how to market myself. How can I put myself out there without looking cheap/ inexperienced?
Based on what I see around a lot of people have started looking like that at the beginning. You just grow in quality with time. Be open to show up with vulnerability
Ali, your video is great but I fail to see how any of this is relevant. All the people you mentioned are almost pre-AI/market saturation so they were already at an advantage when they started. I also found it interesting that one of the high income skills you mentioned was web design/building while being sponsored by a platform that builds your own website without you needing to code. I usually love your videos but there’s a fine line between putting out content that’s actually relevant and helpful vs just putting out content.
Amazing video Ali, as much as I have learnt most of the skills my only issue has been finding Quality Clients. Like how can we find those businesses making at least 8 figures? I mean not the $5-$10 an hour kind of clients but $1k-10k a month going up. I also do understand you have to be good and provide value and make the business more money but for someone who's starting out and transitioning to the freelance low paying gigs to high paying clients how do you start the search?
Yeah it's an unrealistic video like all of his money ones because he focuses on the ridiculous amount of money a very rare few people are able to make at some of these skills. How in the world to break into super successful businesses wanting to hire you is the key and would be a video he doesn't know how to make.
Hello everyone! I hope you can give me a quick advise, I know copy writing, graphic design, website developing, and coding but i only have beginner/newbie experience with them, what should be my next move? which skill i should focus? where can i sell my skills more?
I would love it if you addressed the actual demand for some of these skills more. I'm trying not to automatically be a skeptic or go into all the reasons why something might now work out because I know that mindset will stop me from achieving anything, but it seems like Design (esp ux/ui and web design) is a very very tough market at this point. I've seen youtubers talking about this as well as other forums where senior designers with lots of experience are having a very tough time finding jobs. Granted, you are speaking more as being an entrepreneur but I imagine if a job market is tough for a skill then demand for it in general is down. It also seems like actual hiring for coders/developers is tough. And I'm very curious about the experience of many copywriters in this new AI age. I'm also interested in why you focused on coding to create a product -- it seems like lots of entrpreneurs recommend not doing the coding yourself and focus on the business aspects. Despite my apprehensions thank you for this video, it's given me a lot of inspiration and motivation
Exactly. Everything you said is much wiser than what Ali is selling here, making money off of desperate TH-cam views instead of providing realistic advice.
I’m heading back to school to focus on Digital Skills for the purposes of adding high income skills to my tool belt. Thank you for the video and reminder. I’m in Scotland and the wages in the UK are my main motivator to stop basing my income on the jobs available locally.
Ali I am a Web Designer. Just starting out, I want to make ridiculously amount of money but I don't know how to sell my services to big clients because I don't have relevant experience...
Thanks, Ali. I always thought as a student making money would be tough, as lot of people juggle through jobs, yet you mentioned amazing people and their craft in the niches, sparks curiosity and confidence and motivates me to learn and strive for a better life. I'll notify you guys, after 6 months.
Examine your talents and skills. I too am a 20 year old. I was in your shoes. I decided to tutor students on the subjects that I knew I was good in, and now I earn more than my parents per month.
Are you able to get some for of work to get that initial money saved up? You're young and hopefully fit, you are more physically able than most, try use that to your advantage
@@Tushar_995 Hi, I am not doing it online, I am doing it in my local neighbourhood... English tutor in my town here in South Africa. I have classes from as 1 person up to 8 people per class Monday to Saturday. And I only work for about 4 hours per day. I also take the holidays off and I still get paid. I also teach voice lessons on Saturdays. And when I am lucky, I get booked to sing at a wedding or an important event. My next plan is to work 5 hours per day, introducing homework classes for grade 1 and 2s this upcoming term.
Hi, you mention combining web design with web development to be a unicorn. Do you have any advice for where to start with that? Would you suggest beginning with the design or development side?
I lost over $80k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong. It took me over two years of being in the market, I'm really grateful I found one source to recover my money, at least $10k profits weekly. Thanks Charlotte Miller.
She is my family's personal broker and also a personal broker in many families I'm United States, she's a licensed broker and a FINRA AGENT in United states
I'm surprised that you just mentioned and recommended Charlotte Miller, I met her at a conference in 2018 and we have been working together ever since.
I know people who have both wen designing and web developing skills but are barely making any money out of it. I think even if you have great high income skills, its not of any use if your market cant find you. There should also be videos and education on how to use/make money out of your skills you already have. Like whats the next step?
It’s all about connecting with the right client. I didn’t really start to make money until I got into the midsize-to-large business-to-business world is where the money is. I got in through hooking up with a marketing agency that happened to have some major clients. Also, a local company that had a unique product that businesses across the whole country use (in this case, circular slide rules). I could write annual reports for teeny local concerns, work ‘way harder, and make nothing-or do less work for a huge company and make 10 times as much. The work still had to be excellent, but it is ‘way less effort to write a three-panel brochure for a national corporation than it is to write, say, annual reports for a local nonprofit. It’s not the market finding you. It’s you finding your market. Persistence, networking and making authentic connections. Learning something about sales is extremely helpful. Even things like Toastmasters builds confidence and teaches you how to present yourself in public.
Great video! I know I am biased given my own channel, but I would put personal finance up there as #1. 78% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck including 47% making over 6 figures and it doesn’t matter how much you make from side hustles etc if you don’t know how to manage it properly. That goes double for businesses too!
This is probably the most useful and concise video I seen in the last year or two. You gave really revelent information for opportunities that anyone can use. 🙏
Great video Ali, as a student myself these kind of videos are very helpful for me. Thanks so much for all the work and effort you put into making these videos to help others :)
Thank you so much Ali sir. I have been learning to code to become a website developer but I was so perplexed that I thought it was not the right skill in 2024, but now I will learn it with full energy. Love from Pakistan ❤.
Hey, as a professional athlete, do we also have a personal stock price even if we are unsuccessful and struggling to get our break? And if so how would it be helpful for us to leverage that? I know, I can use my skills as a personal trainer, coach, etc. But what about other aspects of income sources? If I'm making any sense😅. Love your content btw, have been following you for almost two years now.
I've check your recommendation for Copywriting, and oof sorry to say but could have pick better Ali. So little actual copywriting content and more "I'm a millionaire, you can too if u take my course...". Honestly, Kid looks like a few videos away from Coffeezilla video. Not saying copywriting isn't important tho.
This is literally the best explained video about skills a student should try and I am sooo glad i found it. I'll definitely try to learn one or two of these. Thank you for your content. Really helps me as an 18 year old to grow :D
I was desperately thinking of having at least one skill out of those 5, and surprisingly I had the last one i.e coding. I've started teaching myself about coding, and I'm 'getting good gradually. Love from Pakistan🇵🇰.
hahaha, "increased watch time." Bro, your contents are valuable. The time that you put into making this with the knowledge that you have is already worth the watch.
Love your content man. So.... if I'm not a student I'm screwed right? On a serious note, why nobody ever mentions that becoming a pastor is another way to make tons of money out of people's ignorance, faith or beliefs, whatever suits better. Only 2 skills needed, being charismatic and to be a good speaker. And of course an average sized warehouse or building to accommodate all these good Samaritans. And don't forget to name your brand new church with a fancy name. Yeah, marketing is essential. Good day everyone. 😅
Cool and all but where do I find a business that needs a website or a copywriter, you missed to specify where am I supposed to go after I learn the skills and how I advertise to different businesses.
should i start doing copy writing for businesses now with out exp, or should I self-publish on social media for a while and then decide whether to do copywriting
I liked you channel when you gave honest experience-based advice instead of selling this. Be honest and tell how much time in duration, and time per day it takes for an average person to become good at skills you mentioned if you did the research.
HEEEELLPPP where should i advertise my work?? in freelance as you said businesses are looking for low paying rates so... where do i find the businesses that are whiling to pay 100e/h or more for graphic designer or whatever?
hello, where do you advertise youself?? how (or through what) do you contact the big businesses ??? freelance? (sorry if my english is not good im not a native speaker !)
I run a small ecom business and I use AI to design/write my marketing materials for social media. Even for slightly complex tasks like building a website, SEO etc. those ph, id, consultants I engaged are charging very low rates. However, I agree with you on the new app skill like Notion, Canvas etc. Coding is another set of skills I concur too.
As a software engineer myself I would not recommend to look code for an income resource. It isn't like the time 3-4 years ago and before. It is easy to learn at least to start to learn that's why lots of people started to learn it. Online courses, boot camps, schools and other learning places. There are lots of people who know how to code and are unemployed. Of course if u want to give it a try, try it. And if u are serious u can also earn money with it. but its not that easy to find a job like in the past. And I have never heard of a 400k/year junior position before
So sorry - off topic question. What software do you use to switch between screenshare with Ali on the side and full screen and full Ali. I've been on a search for months. I use VEED but it doesn't do what I need it to do. I hope someone can help.
Are ghostwriting and copywriting still as good of an income source as they used to be? I feel like because of AI , its much more easier to come up with your own content rather than hiring someone for it

After a whole day of coding, it's time to relax and watch an Ali's video
I have zero coding knowledge (only know some basic python) . If I were to start now, How long does it take to become good coder that can build products?
@@shiyaml4551 you always keep learning, after coding for 5y, i still can't say i'm a good coder
And Ali is telling to code 😄
@@shiyaml4551 months
@@shiyaml4551 it depends on the person. a lot of people try and never become good coders. if its your thing you can pick it up quickly. just try it.
This is great advice! my question is, after you’ve built the skill how do you go about finding the businesses that would be interested? Because he did say those free lancing sites may not be the best way to go about this,so how would you then target the businesses looking for your skills.
Awesome video. I am self-taught Software Developer in the UK and I love what I do. Glad you mentioned developers in the video as one of the high income skills. What most developers including myself struggle with is coming up with good and valuable product ideas.
hello, where do you advertise youself?? how (or through what) do you contact the big businesses ??? freelance? (sorry if my english is not good im not a native speaker !)
I'm going deep on being a Writer.
Still skeptical about the high income skill part of writing since I don't make money yet from it.
But my Newsletters recieved a lot of positive feedbacks. So I guess I'm doing the right thing.
Thanks Ali
Keep writing because it makes a huge difference. Are you on Medium or Vocal?

So writing Newsletter every week then use it as a script for TH-cam video.
Anyway, I'm leaning towards ghostwriting coz my job is lifting heavy stuff and I'm not getting any younger.

This is all cool, but the important thing is reaching out and finding clients, you need a system set which allows you to regularly look for clients and get new clients till you have enough high paying clients, that’s the main skill and you can learn it by doing but there aren’t enough resources on how to do that and avoiding the pitfalls

I'd recommend to add subtitles to videos.. since some draw a foreign audience... Immersive translate generates them for free.
28:22 coding has changed my life in a two-year period since I decided to go full-time doing. I have been earning money as a dev for more than 10 years. I do have to say that the job market for a junior developer is very tough, even for a senior dev like me, things aren't easy right now. I know things will shift, but right now is not as easy as it was when I went at it full-time.

Dear Ali and team, what a nicely arranged video: I love the color-scheme, the scribble-technic, and the many mini-advertisements for "THE book". Very cool. :-)
I don't think you should encourage people to view being a doctor as a 'low income skill'. It's valuable to society. I think more emphasis in gen z should be placed on how to improve society and make the world a better place not personal profit.
That’s on society.
It is a low income skill sadly.
If you want people to not view it this way then maybe doctors salaries should be raised.
Not talking about it is not the solution to that sadly and won't change the fact that it is low income
I completely agree with this. I think Ali could be more aware of the messages he is sending out.
@@lh6842 Thanks, glad its not just me who feels this way
@@lh6842 He said being a doctor is a low income skill, and that's the truth. He added, that after years of practice it becomes a high value skill. That's also the truth.
The title of the video is not about saving the moral values of the world, it's about the skills you'll benefit from, if you are student. In fact, you can still be a med student and aim for the skills he mentions.
Hello !
Even though the chances of you actually ever reading this comment are so small, I am SO SO grateful that you put this information out for free ! Just framing the whole world of options is of so much value Bigbig thank you from me ☀️
Greetings from 🇧🇪
well, maybe I am a marketing idiot but for the last 20 years I never earned 6 figures / year in a software engineering industry. Recently achieved half of it. Businesses here in Poland and in Europe basically don't pay such money. And they all require to have at least bachelor's degree in computer science. Clickbait?
Yes! these people live in a bubble thinking that all businesses around the world would pay such money to someone that doesn’t have a degree just to “educate” them on softwares that, like he said, could be easily learned by watching videos on youtube, I’m honestly tired of watching these youtubers speaking just from experience, clearly making a fallacious argument, I guess I fell for the bait too.
Good companies are in my portfolio, however this year it has been stagnant. I need to grow the about $600k that is sitting in my reserve.
Everybody has erred at some point. It's wise that you think about financial planning.
True. My portfolio was diversified across several markets with the help of a financial planner, and were able to achieve over a million in net profit among high dividend yield equities, ETFs, and bonds. It is vital that you have a variety of exposure, including in firms that are currently generating cash flows.

How fortunate we are! It was simple to locate your guidance. I researched her well before we spoke on the phone. Her resume suggests that she may be qualified.
How is copywriting and ghostwriting still relevant when we have ChatGPT that can write anything? Genuine question
Shoutout to young aspiring coders in Pakistan! Thank you for giving this example.
These things are easier said than done. I have designers and all who have been laid off because of AI. A high income skill without good demand coupled with poor marketing of skills make a lot of people fail.
I'm favoured, $30K every week! I can now give back to the locals in my community and also support God's work and the church. God bless America
Please how do you do this?
I think I'm blessed if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as expert Faith Reece
Wow.... She has really made good name for herself, she's also my account manager
Since meeting Expert Faith, I now agree that with an expert managing your portfolio, the rate of profit is high, with less risk.
I agree with you. I'm not here to converse for her but to testify just for what I'm sure of, she's trust worthy and best option ever seen..
Your handwriting is good given that you are a doctor ....
While I would love to start in one of the fields mentioned in the Video (and have already acquired the skills needed), I don’t have any Idea how to market myself.
How can I put myself out there without looking cheap/ inexperienced?
Based on what I see around a lot of people have started looking like that at the beginning. You just grow in quality with time. Be open to show up with vulnerability
Ali, your video is great but I fail to see how any of this is relevant. All the people you mentioned are almost pre-AI/market saturation so they were already at an advantage when they started. I also found it interesting that one of the high income skills you mentioned was web design/building while being sponsored by a platform that builds your own website without you needing to code. I usually love your videos but there’s a fine line between putting out content that’s actually relevant and helpful vs just putting out content.
you're right! you haven't received any value from this!
Amazing video Ali, as much as I have learnt most of the skills my only issue has been finding Quality Clients. Like how can we find those businesses making at least 8 figures? I mean not the $5-$10 an hour kind of clients but $1k-10k a month going up. I also do understand you have to be good and provide value and make the business more money but for someone who's starting out and transitioning to the freelance low paying gigs to high paying clients how do you start the search?
Yeah it's an unrealistic video like all of his money ones because he focuses on the ridiculous amount of money a very rare few people are able to make at some of these skills. How in the world to break into super successful businesses wanting to hire you is the key and would be a video he doesn't know how to make.
Hello everyone! I hope you can give me a quick advise, I know copy writing, graphic design, website developing, and coding but i only have beginner/newbie experience with them, what should be my next move? which skill i should focus? where can i sell my skills more?
I would love it if you addressed the actual demand for some of these skills more. I'm trying not to automatically be a skeptic or go into all the reasons why something might now work out because I know that mindset will stop me from achieving anything, but it seems like Design (esp ux/ui and web design) is a very very tough market at this point. I've seen youtubers talking about this as well as other forums where senior designers with lots of experience are having a very tough time finding jobs. Granted, you are speaking more as being an entrepreneur but I imagine if a job market is tough for a skill then demand for it in general is down. It also seems like actual hiring for coders/developers is tough. And I'm very curious about the experience of many copywriters in this new AI age. I'm also interested in why you focused on coding to create a product -- it seems like lots of entrpreneurs recommend not doing the coding yourself and focus on the business aspects. Despite my apprehensions thank you for this video, it's given me a lot of inspiration and motivation
Well said. Finding the clients is the trick. I think is more lucrative to learn the skills and then starting your own business with it.
Exactly. Everything you said is much wiser than what Ali is selling here, making money off of desperate TH-cam views instead of providing realistic advice.
This particular video is super useful for a small business operator like me!! Thanks Ali 🔥🔥🔥
I’m heading back to school to focus on Digital Skills for the purposes of adding high income skills to my tool belt. Thank you for the video and reminder. I’m in Scotland and the wages in the UK are my main motivator to stop basing my income on the jobs available locally.
and now you'll be competing with everyone else in the world....good thinking! 👌
When I got notification of your this new financial video I just jumped so high in excitement in my parents apartment 😂 love you bro 🖤
CRM is good skill now a days very eady to learn, like Go High Level , keap, active campaign etc
Ali I am a Web Designer. Just starting out, I want to make ridiculously amount of money but I don't know how to sell my services to big clients because I don't have relevant experience...
Read Alex Hormozi books, it will help
HEY ALI PLEASE KINDLY REPLY
Is becoming a full stack web developer good enough to make $100 a month part time as a student?
I love from 🇮🇳
There's always so much value in your videos. Thank you once again Ali ❤
Thanks, Ali. I always thought as a student making money would be tough, as lot of people juggle through jobs, yet you mentioned amazing people and their craft in the niches, sparks curiosity and confidence and motivates me to learn and strive for a better life.
I'll notify you guys, after 6 months.
Need to find a lap top
About 20 yrs with zero earning imagine 😢 idk where do I start from ? Kenyan(Africa)
Examine your talents and skills. I too am a 20 year old. I was in your shoes. I decided to tutor students on the subjects that I knew I was good in, and now I earn more than my parents per month.
Are you able to get some for of work to get that initial money saved up? You're young and hopefully fit, you are more physically able than most, try use that to your advantage
@@princerajabumusic How ? and which platform ?
@@Tushar_995 Hi, I am not doing it online, I am doing it in my local neighbourhood... English tutor in my town here in South Africa. I have classes from as 1 person up to 8 people per class Monday to Saturday. And I only work for about 4 hours per day. I also take the holidays off and I still get paid. I also teach voice lessons on Saturdays. And when I am lucky, I get booked to sing at a wedding or an important event. My next plan is to work 5 hours per day, introducing homework classes for grade 1 and 2s this upcoming term.
@@princerajabumusic thanks bro I'll do so and start learning new professions
Hi, you mention combining web design with web development to be a unicorn. Do you have any advice for where to start with that? Would you suggest beginning with the design or development side?
How about you make a video about how medical doctors/ junior doctors can increase their stock price
I lost over $80k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong. It took me over two years of being in the market, I'm really grateful I found one source to recover my money, at least $10k profits weekly. Thanks Charlotte Miller.
She is my family's personal broker and also a personal broker in many families I'm United States, she's a licensed broker and a FINRA AGENT in United states
I'm surprised that you just mentioned and recommended Charlotte Miller, I met her at a conference in 2018 and we have been working together ever since.
The very first time we tried, we invested $1000 and after a week, we received $5500. That really helped us a lot to pay up our bills.
I NEED $100K BY THE END OF THIS YEAR FOR NEXT RENT
HOW ARE YOU GUYS MAKINGS THIS MONEY?
Really you people know her? I was even thinking that I'm the only one she has helped walk through the fears and falls of trading
what do you think about odoo?
I know people who have both wen designing and web developing skills but are barely making any money out of it. I think even if you have great high income skills, its not of any use if your market cant find you. There should also be videos and education on how to use/make money out of your skills you already have. Like whats the next step?
You're right.
It’s all about connecting with the right client. I didn’t really start to make money until I got into the midsize-to-large business-to-business world is where the money is. I got in through hooking up with a marketing agency that happened to have some major clients. Also, a local company that had a unique product that businesses across the whole country use (in this case, circular slide rules). I could write annual reports for teeny local concerns, work ‘way harder, and make nothing-or do less work for a huge company and make 10 times as much. The work still had to be excellent, but it is ‘way less effort to write a three-panel brochure for a national corporation than it is to write, say, annual reports for a local nonprofit. It’s not the market finding you. It’s you finding your market. Persistence, networking and making authentic connections. Learning something about sales is extremely helpful. Even things like Toastmasters builds confidence and teaches you how to present yourself in public.
This is clear and helpful. I can see why your channel is so popular. Subscribed.
1. Net worth isn’t supposted to be a bad thing
2. B2B seems beginer friendly compared to B2C
3. I heard copywriting get along very well with AI
Ali, I’d be interested in a podcast episode with you talking about your philosophy on capitalism!
Great video! I know I am biased given my own channel, but I would put personal finance up there as #1. 78% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck including 47% making over 6 figures and it doesn’t matter how much you make from side hustles etc if you don’t know how to manage it properly. That goes double for businesses too!
This is probably the most useful and concise video I seen in the last year or two. You gave really revelent information for opportunities that anyone can use.
🙏
Great video Ali, as a student myself these kind of videos are very helpful for me. Thanks so much for all the work and effort you put into making these videos to help others :)
Great to see how Daniel Priestly’s convo made an impact 😉 03:28
Thank you so much Ali sir.
I have been learning to code to become a website developer but I was so perplexed that I thought it was not the right skill in 2024, but now I will learn it with full energy.
Love from Pakistan ❤.

Hey, as a professional athlete, do we also have a personal stock price even if we are unsuccessful and struggling to get our break? And if so how would it be helpful for us to leverage that? I know, I can use my skills as a personal trainer, coach, etc. But what about other aspects of income sources? If I'm making any sense😅.
Love your content btw, have been following you for almost two years now.
I've check your recommendation for Copywriting, and oof sorry to say but could have pick better Ali. So little actual copywriting content and more "I'm a millionaire, you can too if u take my course...". Honestly, Kid looks like a few videos away from Coffeezilla video. Not saying copywriting isn't important tho.
This is literally the best explained video about skills a student should try and I am sooo glad i found it. I'll definitely try to learn one or two of these. Thank you for your content. Really helps me as an 18 year old to grow :D
I was desperately thinking of having at least one skill out of those 5, and surprisingly I had the last one i.e coding. I've started teaching myself about coding, and I'm 'getting good gradually. Love from Pakistan🇵🇰.
Will writing become obsolete due to AI tools like ChatGpt?
how did Melina manage to contact those businesses ? Is there a platform where you upload your skills and wait for a company to contact you or smth?
Amazing video as always! What app do you use to make the overlay of yourself(self video capturing) on top of the video?
This is literally the most important YT video rn. It actually shows how to start your journey toward making 6 figures, thanks Ali!
Ali, for software consulting online, where do you recommend to sell your services online?
hahaha, "increased watch time." Bro, your contents are valuable. The time that you put into making this with the knowledge that you have is already worth the watch.
What about video editing?
I also had the same question
I also had the same question

Wow, what a masterpiece. This is the video that has made me to subscribe to this channel. Thank you Ali for this eye-opener
Love your content man. So.... if I'm not a student I'm screwed right? On a serious note, why nobody ever mentions that becoming a pastor is another way to make tons of money out of people's ignorance, faith or beliefs, whatever suits better. Only 2 skills needed, being charismatic and to be a good speaker. And of course an average sized warehouse or building to accommodate all these good Samaritans. And don't forget to name your brand new church with a fancy name. Yeah, marketing is essential. Good day everyone. 😅
Cool and all but where do I find a business that needs a website or a copywriter, you missed to specify where am I supposed to go after I learn the skills and how I advertise to different businesses.
Such an amazing video Ali. Thanks a lot. Many precious advice. We should start actions.
This is amazing.
should i start doing copy writing for businesses now with out exp, or should I self-publish on social media for a while and then decide whether to do copywriting
What about sales ?
I liked you channel when you gave honest experience-based advice instead of selling this. Be honest and tell how much time in duration, and time per day it takes for an average person to become good at skills you mentioned if you did the research.

My whole business is the first one you mentioned, software consulting. Can confirm, it’s a great business!

How to get clients its main point

I run a small ecom business and I use AI to design/write my marketing materials for social media. Even for slightly complex tasks like building a website, SEO etc. those ph, id, consultants I engaged are charging very low rates. However, I agree with you on the new app skill like Notion, Canvas etc. Coding is another set of skills I concur too.
Good idea thank you for your support, motivation, and your advice❤❤
As a software engineer myself I would not recommend to look code for an income resource. It isn't like the time 3-4 years ago and before. It is easy to learn at least to start to learn that's why lots of people started to learn it. Online courses, boot camps, schools and other learning places. There are lots of people who know how to code and are unemployed. Of course if u want to give it a try, try it. And if u are serious u can also earn money with it. but its not that easy to find a job like in the past. And I have never heard of a 400k/year junior position before
It's crazy to think a company would pay not even for junior position but an entry level position 400k a year this is beyond delusional.
Thank you Ali bhai✅
Really good video glad a watched it through, the money people me are making out here would blow the minds of your everyday 9-5 worker
Hey Ali, you need to create a video demonstrating how to speak English fluently and quickly.[Mental Note: I think]
Most of the time, we dont value the skill we already have because we didnt know what skill we already have.
I prefer the last one , because in this digital era Ai changing everything
So sorry - off topic question. What software do you use to switch between screenshare with Ali on the side and full screen and full Ali. I've been on a search for months. I use VEED but it doesn't do what I need it to do. I hope someone can help.
Are ghostwriting and copywriting still as good of an income source as they used to be? I feel like because of AI , its much more easier to come up with your own content rather than hiring someone for it
