    I've been full time on Ebay since the beginning of 2020, after starting it as a side hustle in 2017. It's definitely not "get rich quick". Heck, it's not even "get rich" for most of us, but I do enjoy it and I do make a comfortable lower middle class income with it. It is scary knowing that my account could be banned at any time for any number of unknown reasons, but it works for me given the position I am in life right now. I've been self-employed for so long that I don't really have any "work experience" and nobody cares about my business degree from 1999. I'm "over qualified" for the low paying jobs and "not a proven commodity" for the high paying ones. I guess I'm where I'm supposed to be!

    Before even clicking on the video, I knew MLM would be #1. It is the biggest scam on the workers ever created. I know many people who’ve done Mary Kay, Pampered Chef, Amway, etc. None have made any worthwhile profit. Even those who put a huge amount of time and energy into it can’t make more than a couple hundred dollars a month. Yet people are still falling into these traps. DON’T DO IT! All your friends will end up hating you and you’ll work hard for nothing.

    Nice job on the video. Clear, concise, SHORT, and spot on. The thing that kills me are the "passive income" bunch. I think my favorite story was a coworker told me about her daughter wanting to "borrow" $10.000 to open a franchise. Mom asks her: "how are you going to find the TIME to work there?" The girl replied," Ohhh, I wouldn't work, i'd hire others to do the work, and just collect the profit" !! Yikes.
    I still have a side hustle that still exists after around 38 years. Not only did it pay for all my tools and equipment in the early days, but having paid off gear 20 years later saves on all kinds of costs (notice I didn't make the mistake of saying, "PURE profit"), and even my employers I worked for full time used my products and services.. and the regular job kept us sheltered, fed, comfortable, and avoiding debt all the way. Thanks for the video!

Until I saw the incredibly low rates accepted from engineers in the developing world. they seemed like constant loss leaders just to get work.

    I've been an eBay seller since 2013. I had a small engine repair shop and used ebay as a way of selling used engines and parts. It worked, from 2016 to 2019 I was rolling in $60k profits from eBay. Profit margins per hour were higher than the repair business itself that I used eBay to supplement. This is where I made the mistake, I went all in on selling parts online. I knew eBay could rip the rug out from under me anytime and I decided to try building my own website. The design and publishing was easy, and having a whole online parts store on you own website sounds nice but it's alot of work and the SEO is a neverending task. In the end it was not worth saving the 10% in eBay seller fees. I still put small numbers of hours a week into eBay and it's worth my time, keeping it as a backup in case I lose my regular job.

    Real estate worked for me due to low scale implementation. In 2012, I bought the largest house I could swing when the market was most favorable. I then rented out the extra rooms. I still work full time, but I have that extra income to make bills w/o stress. I am hoping that the market will again become favorable so I can parlay the equity into a second home with multiple rooms. If done right, I should be able to retire well before I get too old to enjoy it. I won't be rich, but I won't be hurting.

    My sister was caught up in #4. She did property record transcription for companies that marketed the data. I even got involved for a while. What went sour? Computers. As more and more courthouses went to computers and enabled online access, the fee paid per record dropped because it wasn’t required to go in person to manually go through the books. I told my sister to get out when I was forced to get a regular 9 to 5 job. In time, the company that employed her fired her and everyone else for a bogus claim of getting incorrect records. In truth, they simply hired new people who would do the job for less money. Anything that can be done via computer online can be done any anyone who can underprice you.

    As a kid, 'lowskilled side hustle' was great money! In the 90s, that's where I got my spending money before I was old enough to take a summer job. I was mowing lawns, raking leaves, or shoveling snow depending on the season. It actually demolished the hourly rate of any low skilled job around. It was easy to spot possible customers... you know you just look for the lawns with tall grass, leaves, or a driveway covered in snow. I hated knocking on doors, but the success rate as a kid was great. I'd say it came out to about $20/hour which was phenomenal in the 90s, often with drinks and snacks offered as a bonus, and sometimes unexpected tips. Of course, once you've exhausted the customer base, you couldn't do more, and there were other kids working that hustle to. I'm not sure how that'd do today, but I'd definitely pay well to get leaves raked. Raking leaves isn't so easy when you're higher from the ground, and finding someone to do it is actually rather difficult. I haven't had any kids knocking on my door looking to do work in all these years. I don't know if it's just the area or kids or kids just don't do yard work in this era. As a teenager, I felt more awkward knocking on doors, so I quit doing that, plus I had summer job money. I did pick up another side hustle doing tech support, which I really just got pulled into after helping one neighbor. Word of mouth got me a couple dozen requests over a couple years to setup routers, install PC components, or get something working that wasn't. I never even set a price for that, but people were so happy to get help they paid very well. Maybe I should have leaned into that more!
    The marketing job pyramid scheme thing is absolutely horrible and predatory. I'm glad I know to stay away from that. From age 16 up I was getting stuff in the mail offering 'jobs' like that. They were disguised as legitimate jobs and used very tricky language to try and hide the intent. One I remember most was from some company called Vector Marketing, but the logo would leave out the 'Marketing' part and the flyer made it sound like a vaguely tech oriented job. My mom though it was a legitimate internship offer in the tech industry. I knew from the language it had to be a trick, as it didn't actually mention what any of the jobs were. A little bit of internet searching revealed it was selling cutlery. I think they were somehow scraping some of the school vocational data which was often getting sent to third parties for various reasons and likely got resold to scum like Vector. They were aggressively trying to recruit anyone of working age too young to know better.

When I did it, I lived and breathed it, trading and investments was on the forefront of my whole life.

It is pretty difficult to make anything, though, back test and make it completely rigorous. You can see with even simple indicators that there is something there but you need to combine volume shifts and price action to get something that actually works. Don't plan to beat the market by too much unless you are leveraging. The efficiency of the market approaches 100% and is constantly improving, so indicators don't work forever.

    The problem with day trading is that you want to treat it as investment. It’s not, there are different rules and skills to trade than to invest. Yup, there’s a lot of bullcrap like signals and algos, but if you learn to understand price, intent and market psychology, and your OWN psychology and emotions, you up your odds. It def is hard but not complicated.

    5:08 I agree that daytrading is VERY hard and not easy like the gurus make it out to be, you have to be very disciplined with your risk management and trading setups. But holding a share over months isnt daytrading its more shortterm investing, you are not supposed to loose more on a trade than the risk you set by your risk management.

      I long ago learned that third world countries will give you dirt cheap product mfg, but the quality and reliability usually suck on the finished product. It is very slowly getting a little better but never throw caution to the wind!! If you are going to use one of these country's factories on a regular basic you need to have "boots on the ground" engineer there for quality control, or they will cut corners really badly every way they can to save or make a quick buck, Many of their mfg facilities aren;t safe, deplorable working conditions, and many treat their employees badly. Americans don't know how easy we really have it. But low cost mfg is king and high profits are king and that is why they have all the world's business now, and America has very little mfg ability anymore.

      @SeattlePioneer from my experience... buying in samples from factories that you never been to, never looked the owners in the eyes, never looked at the working conditions of workers there is a bigger risk and a bigger expense... long story short, I had potential with 5 manufacturers, and to send me 3 samples from each factory would have cost me over $7k...
      I went to India, met 9 manufacturers, got more insight than buying samples could ever give me and its the best thing I've ever done, met a supplier who felt like a met before, got the trust, the workmanship it's great!! This cost me just under $4k. So it wasn't an expense at all, it's an investment
      If you buy samples they are mint, but buy in bulk they are crap reason I don't work with my old manufacturer anymore.

    What people don't appreciate about being landlords is that tenants will usually trash the house, so whenever they move on you need to redecorate. If you have 10+ houses this becomes a fair bit of work for yourself or it becomes expensive if you employ someone. Then you have non-payers... if they have kids then forget about it, you'll be stuck with a non paying tenant family for months or years, and of course they'll trash the place while they live for free. If you want to buy-to-let, make sure you use a good agent, preferably a dodgy type who intimidates the tenants. That way they'll prioritise the rent payments instead of little Calum's new 110s for christmas. don't try pick your own tenants to avoid the agent fees!

    Good Lord, Mark. A couple of those take me back quite a few years. I was frightened so I didn't do them. As the years unfolded, every day trader I knew had gone broke and moved on. All but one friend with rentals had sold out and moved on. For a person like me, those were terrible ideas. I would have failed. Sometimes, fear is your friend.
    The best item here is the last. I've been watching your channel for ages. You have been quite open about your collaborations with your son. I think that brings a lot of energy to your process that might go undetected. That and having something to say make all the difference.
    My little suggestion to anyone who wants to give TH-cam a go: Try posting consistent YT content about anything you actually love. By consistent, I mean at least twice a week, every week, for a year. Or twice a month if the videos are long and complicated.

    Although starting a business with a MLM is more about growing your own sales team, all the motivation and training provided by these companies leave you more than ready with the right mindset to start your own business, it's more like starting with someone else's products and brand and then you can jump onto something that you believe will provide value to others. I think it's a good started point, many find it too much of a hustle but there are tons of people making money that way while others are just booing around.

    I agree on all points but I would like to point out that real estate is very faceted. Mortgages are a secured way to make money if you make sure the numbers line up with the economy. Syndycated mortgages are groups of folks that make up the loan, and you can spread your money across multiple mortgages to mitigate risk. Joint ventures do the same with rentals but the difference is that you are buying a piece of the action and don't bear all the costs and management. JVs are usually much larger with many units and then the economies of scale come into play. I can send one repairman to an address with many units and cut costs. With a large enough property, there is enough monthly income to cover management costs, unforseen expenses and vacancies.
    Real estate is either about capital gains or cash flow or a combination of both. Most people focus on capital gains because it sounds more impressive. I wouldn't care if I had any capital gains if the cash flow was high enough. Pay down the mortgage and refinance and get some capital out then.

    Buying property in Australia is a thing. Politician has setup tax breaks for people with properties. The main one is negative gearing, any losses from your property , you can deduct that against your income tax. Second, capital gains tax was halved in 1999. So buy a property, make small losses and tax deduct. Property prices only rise in Australia. Then sell for profit. It's sad because we have a housing crisis.
