Mark, I want to thank you so much for being probably the only real youtube creator out there and to provide extremely real and valuable suggestions to us. Keep going, you are absolutely amazing and your style is great
Mark, if you want, I can turn all your larger videos into shorts by choosing the best parts of your videos for you and editing it for you to put up in your shorts for this channel 😀
@@Trollguette It’s a great way to build long term wealth, but not something you can really do without significant capital/risk and therefore not good side hustle. Thanks MT 😎
Depends entirely on what you choose to do. I moonlighted from my job as a utility repairman by operating my own gas appliance repair business. There was competition, but you had to have the skills to do the job to fix furnaces, gas fireplaces and such.
@@SeattlePioneer Running a gas appliance repair business is extremely far from a low barrier to entry side hustle. The one's talked about as being low-barrier to entry would be: online dropshipping, copywriting, making youtube videos. Those kinds of things rarely ever make people money because there is so much competition, anyone can make a shopify account and sell chinese crap on some premade website.
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!
@@aliveonmoonrocks When did I say I made money with TH-cam? I sell on Ebay full time. It's been well over a year since I even uploaded anything to TH-cam. The channel is just for fun random things. I'm shocked I have 28 subscribers. LOL. I do have 304 followers on Ebay, for whatever that is worth. Approaching 9,000 sales.
@@DavidRodriguez-tx1fo Thanks. Force of habit I guess. By default I just respond to everything. I hate the feeling of leaving things undone, even if it adds no value.
Sadly Ebay used to be a great platform in the early days, but they have gotten greedy, their commission rates are absurb and getting worse, they want to control every aspect or your business for their maximum profit. And if they don't like you for some even minor reason they will ban you. And their customer service has become so bad! Their web page formating stinks, hard to use etc.
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!
Real estate has treated me well, but it's far from hassle free. Not to mention it's not immediatly liquid, turning your real estate into cash can take a long time
Pro tip: turn your hobby into a side hustle. Might not be a huge market, but since you’d be doing it anyway, someone might want to buy it. Anything else is just having a second job.
@@mairamareco8656 Netflix and co are looking for people (from time to time) that watch series and movies. (for inserting the "skip" timestamps i guess) But here it is the same as always....(see other answer)
@@mairamareco8656review it for those who didn’t see it yet and want an opinion if to spend their time or not watching it. It’ll grow and you can then sell things to your subscribers who trust your opinion.
Thanks Mark for being real ! for exposing the people who are bullshitting and wasting the time of young people who want to become something with their hustle porn and course funnels
For MLM, my sister has been in 3 of them including Avon, yet has never made a significant amount of money. She would have been better off getting a part time job at a restaurant or store. She is possibly the most outgoing person on the planet but didn't the money she wanted. I've heard MLM means, "Mothers Lose Money" :-) My wife is with Atomy who are pretty upfront and honest about what to expect plus don't have any upfront membership fees, but still we haven't made anything from it.
Hi, I think it’s the appeal of telling people you have your own business, but you’re right about working a part time job instead would be guaranteed money. Maybe you can help them, that’s what the channels all about. Help raise everyone. Thanks MT 😎
thank you for saying real estate is not a good side hustle. I meet so many wanna be real estate tycoons. I was turned off from it when a client of mine said that they had to do a $20k repair after a nightmare tenant which basically meant they lost all the money they made in rent on it that year.
For a service based side hustle in retirement I considered contract draughting in mechanical engineering, my prior career. Until I saw the incredibly low rates accepted from engineers in the developing world. they seemed like constant loss leaders just to get work. The choice of cad software was key as was the confidentiallty and ownership of client designs and drawings were a portfolio on line could break an agreement. All potentially litigious if your not careful. Informative video.
As another rental real estate investor, everything he says here is 100% right. People have been handed so many stupid ideas from MLM gurus about how to do real estate that everyone who I've ever talked to that wanted advice about how to do it ended up not doing it after I told them how much money you needed to sink into it and how long it took to really start seeing the payoffs.
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.
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my TH-cam channel 8 months ago about self development. Now I have 1,038 subs and > 800 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.
@@battleaxell Whoever you are, I don't know you personally but I can say that you're one of the non-judgmental and open-minded people who is not fixated on tangible or external factors in order to learn from someone like me. Just because someone doesn't have a piece of paper as a credential, doesn't mean that person is not entitled to share personal experiences with the hope & intention to inspire others. Keep up with whatever it is that you're doing to improve mankind or improving your life even to a slight degree each day. This is just one part of a bigger puzzle for creating my TH-cam channel about holistic health. I literally could have died back when I was 14 years old due to major depression but here I am right now replying to you, a TH-camr, who's full of fulfillment and dedication to help others to be a better version of themselves. I ain't better than anyone else but my old self. That's all that really makes this TH-cam thing more meaningful and enjoyable. Thanks so much for your support! I am hoping that you can join me with this endless personal development journey! :)
@@battleaxellno they likely won’t sadly If it makes them, happy do it. But the vast majority of people who starts TH-cam, podcasts, onlyfans, TikTok etc are not gonna make money. That’s how the economy works. All the best to the Op.
@@benkonczal4584 Thank you! Implementing the lessons I learned throughout the years of lots of trials and errors changed my life trajectory and learning that there’s a yin and yang in everything. I wouldn’t have appreciated the power of kindness if someone was not cruel to me. I wouldn’t have realized the importance of growth if I didn’t see myself stagnating. I wouldn’t have appreciated the importance of health if I didn’t get sick. I wouldn’t have realized the importance of real love if I haven’t witnessed my parents’ relationship slowly fall apart. I wouldn’t have appreciated the importance of mindful money consumption if I wasn’t broke. I wouldn’t have appreciated the growth of my TH-cam channel if I didn’t start at 0.
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.
Thanks for being realistic Mark. Everyone presents their own way of making money and how easy it is, how it just works, and on and on, but you're keeping it down to Earth, by pointing out the reality of things. You also make videos about how to make money, but contrary to others' yours make sense.
I am so happy you enjoy my videos, I like to keep everything real and backed by my experience, that’s why I love to try new side hustles out myself rather than just talk about them. Good luck my friend. MT 😎
I have a strong mindset that no success is easy or guaranteed, I am 100% aware I will fail more than once but if I push threw and learn from my failures i will find something that will work.
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.
Most people who tell people how to get rich only got rich themselves by selling books and talks about how to get rich with very superficial content. Personally just had a job, lived beneath my means and invested in stocks. I don't want to touch real estate with a ten foot pole, especially now that everything is massively overpriced.
I'm currently in a rough situation and now able to push any funding into a potential side hustle (loaning beacause of study related issues where i can't have a job besides my study) but next year i will be done with school and will finally be able to start making money. I've been watching your videos to prepare myself and hopefully succesfully generate an income where i can be proud of. But until that time comes. I Will keep watching your videos, they're incredibly helpful. Thank you.
Good luck! Be looking for opportunities always! Even now. Success occurs when opportunity meets preparedness and and hard work. Unless you inherit wealth, there is no easy way to accumulate it without a lot of hard work - the government sees to that. As a now socialist/totalitarion entity of their own, the government has to work hard to kill the American dream. The reason? A successful , well off financially populous is very difficult to control!!
two lessons; one clear, one unstated. side-hustles are either scams or an insane amount of hustle is the clear one. the unstated is that a successful hustle has to be a passion-project so that the amount of effort and patience required will be natural. the greatest successes are people either obsessive-compulsive about their income often to denigration of social life, or people chasing the dream they cannot put down...
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.
Mark, Tax crucifies anyone trying to make it these days. Work all day and night to give nearly half of it to the Government. If anyone wants to become rich you need to avoid (legally) paying tax.
Thank you for this, great vid. I’m a visual artist and photographer. I think I’m ready to focus my time full time rather than freelancing for so many years.
As an Ex-trader I do agree with you 'kinda" on it... you can absolutely make a huge amount of money in a very short time while trading, and it isn't all about luck as with gambling, however, I've known traders that lost everything, addicts, suicides etc... When I did it, I lived and breathed it, trading and investments was on the forefront of my whole life. I had 24 hour newsfeeds running all around my house (including the bathroom), I worked sometimes up to 22 hours a day, and yes, I did make a lot at some point, I also lost a lot... the stress is enourmous and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, I loved it though
@@nuclear804 Read about technical indicators on investopedia and then back test with data going back to hopefully earlier than 2009. 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.
Hi Mark, thank you for being one of the best TH-camrs. Not only for your videos, but the content being purely shared and seeded in trying to help us common folks achieve success. Thank you again all the way from beautiful NICARAGUA 🇳🇮
@@marktilbury thank you for your kind response, it made my day. Make sure to come visit when you get the time. Thank you for putting amazing content, I am following and a lot of what you teach. 😁
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.
Another side hustle would be lawncare every spring I see new faces, but soon as it gets hot they disappear and it’s just the same guys year after year.
Love your comments about Amazon! I'm a writer, I don't want my books to get lost in the Amazon jungle. I'll load the first to Amazon with a link to my website. Thank you! (Btw, I've probably tried all of these side hustles.)
I love this content informative and engaging. Like the awareness on pitfalls of side hustle, the fact you gave a positive solution of what you can do was excellent. keeping it real. 👏👏
Great business tips here Mark! I went over to India this year to obviosuly look at the products but mainly to look at factories, the conditions for workers, how they were when I was there etc. And it was the BEST thing I've ever done. Love the videos 🙌
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.
It’s funny because I’m a real estate investor and I do TH-cam. I will say that neither made me much money until I was a few years in. Now I make $500-600 a month on TH-cam and I’ve made millions in real estate.
I find it hiliarious/sad that people have no patience for delivery. My post office accepts packages, but it takes them a couple of days to have them ready for pick up and it might be another couple of days before I go pick them up. Virtually nothing I buy is THAT urgent. LOL
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.
Most people I know, about four, it varies, who rely on rental income do their own maintenance. I can barely manage a hammer so it’s not for me, but I’ve seen it done. My son, the fireman, drove an ambulance as an EMT and had a lawn maintenance business. He did really well but he wasn’t home much.
All of these seem legit. I did the day trading thing as well, but after I had a single loss wipe out weeks of profit (but not into a total loss for me) I began to wonder "Is this what the other guy feels on the other side of these transactions?" Needles to day I'm to empathetic for the stock market. 😂
Almost every trader loses money. Beating the market is at best extremely difficult, and most think impossible. Getting lucky for a few weeks is meaningless in the typical volatile equity market. Most Wall Street active traders are just as bad, and the have armies of phds and high speed connections to exchanges. You and the average Joe have no chance of beating them, and they’re rubbish.
I’ll admit. Mlm’s are crazy hard. But I did personally strike some luck with working one. I worked so much selling the product then started traveling and before I knew it I was in the brochures for the company. Went across the U.S doing it. Ultimately was a great learning experience. And a stroke of luck.
Hi Mark; Your video is perfect for someone who wants to start a side job. It’s the no BS hard facts that is missing from most videos of this subject. I’ve done most of what you described and now at 85 I think I have it figured it out …. .kinda late for that I suppose. The point about starting an Amazon centered business is particularly important. Don’t forget, Amazon has the most important part of your business, the customer list. If you build a highly profitable business Amazon business they can, and probably have in the past, compete with you.
Not rich by any means but i like to think ive succeeded in being a decent entrepreneur so far. Slowly building my way up! Your tip about the ebay ; i actually implemented that strategy into my businesses as well, get retail customers as well as my contracting side. Great inspiring video.
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.
Very good tips. One thing I would say about TH-cam though, is that if you have the skils, at least it's free to do and it can be a good way to promote yourself to potential customers or employers.
Your side business is to tell people how to do their own side business while telling people you have multiple millions of dollars in businesses while using all of your time making TH-cam videos. This makes total sense😂
The one real estate thing that I feel like is a good investment is commercial. I have been considering to buy a newer school campus that went under. With around 15k sqft of classrooms and such, also being less than a 1/4 mile from a community college, I could provide more study space and experiment spaces. I could make it an incubator. I could start my Custom PC and IT service company. I would have to come up with a ton of promissory contracts and then find an investor for about $2mil. Not likely but a cool idea
Hello mark. Will you please do a video on how to go about real estate as an investment? My parents never did well with their rental properties. Thank you, robert
I worked at making a channel for 7 years getting demonetized, ignored, someone taking my name who already had over 1M subs, and I finally stopped doing it.
lol, eBay banned me for life as soon as hit submit to become a seller. No explanation. Maybe they did me a favor; I wouldn’t want to spend time to build something that could so easily be shut down for no reason.
What worked best for me was dropshipping. I am doing it for a year now, and it pays off greatly last three months. I am constantly hitting 14-15k USD profits since August. Consistency and hard work will always pay off at the end (with a little bit of winnerzila of course).
Real Estate - Reits and a variety of real estate fractional or shared investment also exist as alternative to traditional buy/rent/resell. Not quite as useful from a control-big-value perspective but something to consider versus not doing anything in real estate at all.
I would never invest in a REIT. You have no control over what happens or decisions being made. Buy a multi family then save for the next one. That’s how I built up my property ownership. Single family homes are very risky vs a duplex or triplex. I always have income coming in from at least one unit.
The best side hustle is to not need one. Get a good job that pays you enough to live, or start a legitimate business that you devote yourself to full time so that you can earn a good income from it alone. Having a job and a side hustle means basically working two jobs. Why bother, your lifetime in limited, you need some time to enjoy it.
Most Jobs suck...even the "good ones".Or they are payed poorly. The idea is simply to chose a side hustle that is fun and also makes a decent amount of money so that you eventually dont have to spend fewer or no more hours in a job thats boring or bad for you in another way
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.
Holy moly I've been trying to find a way to funnel people to me personally from ebay I never thought of including a brochure in my packages I want to kick myself right now lol
My ex tried the MLM scam. It was costing me $700 to a grand every month for her to collect a $400 check every month. This went on for three years. When I put a stop to it she started screwing around on me.
I’ve been with several mlm. I was brain washed so I believed. I was really passionate about it. After 2 years, I was done and jumped in another one. Bought 2 very expensive Kangen machines plus their supplements for more than $10k. That machine is now hiding in the closet. The supplements I’m not sure if my parents used them. Crazy. I will not ever wish people fall for this.
Hi, it’s great that you intend to save butTo save a million you have to earn and put around $800 k of you own money away, if you invest in index funds you may only have to use between $130-$160 of your own money to get to your million. I know which one I would do. Good luck my friend MT 😎
I attended a recruitment seminar for one of these pyramid scheme organizations as a curiosity. As a salesman myself, I’m always interested in seeing an alternative approach to generating clients and closing techniques. I can tell you that it’s staggering how gullible some of the general public is. I could see through the BS, but man do they push the “sizzle” in those seminars and deflect any major criticisms or concerns.
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.
But in DROPSHIPPING what if you test the product quality beforehand and have your own inventory which you send to a warehouse ( I know then it not really dropshipping but you can do this to scale once people start buying a lot)
Ive been doing affiliate marketing for several years income in excess of $100K per year. Over half of that comes from Amazon. Why TH-cam so called experts constantly denigrate Amazon is a mystery.
Love your videos Mark, I have began investing in stocks and my youtube channel is doing quite well too. Hope to keep working hard to see more growth in anything I do and learn more from you
I've had excellent results with stock investments since I began investing in the 1970s, when the Dow Jones Average was bouncing around between 700-1000. Now it's at 35,000. Mostly I've been a buy 'n hold invester, often using DRIPS as investment vehicles. That still works very well for me over the decades. The big exception was Washington Mutual ---you can look up what happened to that bank in 2008 if you wish!

@@Trollguette It’s a great way to build long term wealth, but not something you can really do without significant capital/risk and therefore not good side hustle. Thanks MT 😎
The best side hustle is the one no body is talking about.
You got it.

The pattern I see with most side hustles is a low barrier to entry which means TONS of competition.
Yep the more skill and higher barriers to entry the higher chance of success
Depends entirely on what you choose to do.
I moonlighted from my job as a utility repairman by operating my own gas appliance repair business. There was competition, but you had to have the skills to do the job to fix furnaces, gas fireplaces and such.
Good point. Also, having those prerequisite skills added to the barrier to entry in your situation. @@SeattlePioneer
@@SeattlePioneer Running a gas appliance repair business is extremely far from a low barrier to entry side hustle. The one's talked about as being low-barrier to entry would be: online dropshipping, copywriting, making youtube videos. Those kinds of things rarely ever make people money because there is so much competition, anyone can make a shopify account and sell chinese crap on some premade website.
And an hard entrance means a normal competetion or no at all :)

Hi, I have always believed that you should help to raise everyone up not push them down. Good luck on your financial journey. MT 😎
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!
There's no way you make money with 28 subscribers
@@aliveonmoonrocks When did I say I made money with TH-cam? I sell on Ebay full time. It's been well over a year since I even uploaded anything to TH-cam. The channel is just for fun random things. I'm shocked I have 28 subscribers. LOL.
I do have 304 followers on Ebay, for whatever that is worth. Approaching 9,000 sales.
@cphine Why even waste your energy responding to nay sayers? You know what you're capable of. That dude just wanted attention.
Stay blessed.
@@DavidRodriguez-tx1fo Thanks. Force of habit I guess. By default I just respond to everything. I hate the feeling of leaving things undone, even if it adds no value.
Sadly Ebay used to be a great platform in the early days, but they have gotten greedy, their commission rates are absurb and getting worse, they want to control every aspect or your business for their maximum profit. And if they don't like you for some even minor reason they will ban you. And their customer service has become so bad! Their web page formating stinks, hard to use etc.
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!
I tutored math as a side hustle. After industry-wide layoffs in oil and gas it became my only hustle. Glad I did it.
Real estate has treated me well, but it's far from hassle free. Not to mention it's not immediatly liquid, turning your real estate into cash can take a long time
Pro tip: turn your hobby into a side hustle. Might not be a huge market, but since you’d be doing it anyway, someone might want to buy it. Anything else is just having a second job.

For MLM, my sister has been in 3 of them including Avon, yet has never made a significant amount of money. She would have been better off getting a part time job at a restaurant or store. She is possibly the most outgoing person on the planet but didn't the money she wanted. I've heard MLM means, "Mothers Lose Money" :-) My wife is with Atomy who are pretty upfront and honest about what to expect plus don't have any upfront membership fees, but still we haven't made anything from it.
Hi, I think it’s the appeal of telling people you have your own business, but you’re right about working a part time job instead would be guaranteed money. Maybe you can help them, that’s what the channels all about. Help raise everyone. Thanks MT 😎
Been earning a small pay check for years from my Amway business built years ago. Not a big check but it’s there every month.
thank you for saying real estate is not a good side hustle. I meet so many wanna be real estate tycoons. I was turned off from it when a client of mine said that they had to do a $20k repair after a nightmare tenant which basically meant they lost all the money they made in rent on it that year.
eBay, gutter cleaning, snow shoveling, and most recently I’ve put my indoor cactus garden to good use I harvested about 6oz of flowers
Yeah yeah "indoor cactus" 😏🍁
For a service based side hustle in retirement I considered contract draughting in mechanical engineering, my prior career. Until I saw the incredibly low rates accepted from engineers in the developing world. they seemed like constant loss leaders just to get work. The choice of cad software was key as was the confidentiallty and ownership of client designs and drawings were a portfolio on line could break an agreement. All potentially litigious if your not careful. Informative video.
Yes I'm a big-time victim of all those side hustles and have lost my house and is now facing eviction
As another rental real estate investor, everything he says here is 100% right. People have been handed so many stupid ideas from MLM gurus about how to do real estate that everyone who I've ever talked to that wanted advice about how to do it ended up not doing it after I told them how much money you needed to sink into it and how long it took to really start seeing the payoffs.
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.
Hi, fantastic move my friend, you may be richer than you think. Good luck. MT 😎
Thanks for being realistic Mark. Everyone presents their own way of making money and how easy it is, how it just works, and on and on, but you're keeping it down to Earth, by pointing out the reality of things. You also make videos about how to make money, but contrary to others' yours make sense.

“Multi-level Marketing” is just a fancy way of saying Pyramid Scheme
“It’s not a pyramid! It’s an inverse funnel system!” 😂
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.
Most people who tell people how to get rich only got rich themselves by selling books and talks about how to get rich with very superficial content. Personally just had a job, lived beneath my means and invested in stocks. I don't want to touch real estate with a ten foot pole, especially now that everything is massively overpriced.
Everything is overpriced thats why you can overprice ur rent if ur brave enough to buy it
I'm currently in a rough situation and now able to push any funding into a potential side hustle (loaning beacause of study related issues where i can't have a job besides my study) but next year i will be done with school and will finally be able to start making money.

Good luck! Be looking for opportunities always! Even now. Success occurs when opportunity meets preparedness and and hard work. Unless you inherit wealth, there is no easy way to accumulate it without a lot of hard work - the government sees to that. As a now socialist/totalitarion entity of their own, the government has to work hard to kill the American dream. The reason? A successful , well off financially populous is very difficult to control!!
My first lucrative side hustle was washing dishes on weekends at a restaurant.
@@DERHOF2007a side hustle is also a job the main difference is you're the boss
two lessons; one clear, one unstated. side-hustles are either scams or an insane amount of hustle is the clear one. the unstated is that a successful hustle has to be a passion-project so that the amount of effort and patience required will be natural. the greatest successes are people either obsessive-compulsive about their income often to denigration of social life, or people chasing the dream they cannot put down...
I absolutely love Mark. He's so genuine and funny
I know him and this is what he is like in real life as well, it's the real Tilbo you're getting. Not fake like many of these channels.
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.
Mark, Tax crucifies anyone trying to make it these days. Work all day and night to give nearly half of it to the Government. If anyone wants to become rich you need to avoid (legally) paying tax.

As an Ex-trader I do agree with you 'kinda" on it... you can absolutely make a huge amount of money in a very short time while trading, and it isn't all about luck as with gambling, however, I've known traders that lost everything, addicts, suicides etc... When I did it, I lived and breathed it, trading and investments was on the forefront of my whole life. I had 24 hour newsfeeds running all around my house (including the bathroom), I worked sometimes up to 22 hours a day, and yes, I did make a lot at some point, I also lost a lot... the stress is enourmous and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, I loved it though
@@nuclear804 Read about technical indicators on investopedia and then back test with data going back to hopefully earlier than 2009. 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.
Mark nails it. No such thing as fast and easy money. Overnight success takes 15-20 years
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.
Another side hustle would be lawncare every spring I see new faces, but soon as it gets hot they disappear and it’s just the same guys year after year.
Lmao imagine doing that pleb work when a drug dealer would pay you ten times more for just doing deliveries
Doing TH-cam is not at all bad. It is one of the best platform. Yes it it will take time but it's worth the time. It depends on the niche, cpm etc.

Great business tips here Mark!
I went over to India this year to obviosuly look at the products but mainly to look at factories, the conditions for workers, how they were when I was there etc. And it was the BEST thing I've ever done.
Love the videos 🙌
Hi, thanks 🙏, for me it’s so important that workers are looked after. Thanks for watching. MT 😎
@marktilbury money should never overshadow a workers life! Stay true and you can never go wrong 💪 All the best Mark. Levi
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.
It’s funny because I’m a real estate investor and I do TH-cam. I will say that neither made me much money until I was a few years in. Now I make $500-600 a month on TH-cam and I’ve made millions in real estate.
I find it hiliarious/sad that people have no patience for delivery. My post office accepts packages, but it takes them a couple of days to have them ready for pick up and it might be another couple of days before I go pick them up. Virtually nothing I buy is THAT urgent. LOL
You can start in Real Estate with wholesaling, lease options, subject 2, or owner fiancanicing. Great way to start.
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.
Most people I know, about four, it varies, who rely on rental income do their own maintenance. I can barely manage a hammer so it’s not for me, but I’ve seen it done.
My son, the fireman, drove an ambulance as an EMT and had a lawn maintenance business. He did really well but he wasn’t home much.
All of these seem legit. I did the day trading thing as well, but after I had a single loss wipe out weeks of profit (but not into a total loss for me) I began to wonder "Is this what the other guy feels on the other side of these transactions?" Needles to day I'm to empathetic for the stock market. 😂
You needed to sell and buy back in , dont give ip I wouldnt listen to this guy
Almost every trader loses money. Beating the market is at best extremely difficult, and most think impossible. Getting lucky for a few weeks is meaningless in the typical volatile equity market. Most Wall Street active traders are just as bad, and the have armies of phds and high speed connections to exchanges. You and the average Joe have no chance of beating them, and they’re rubbish.
I’ll admit. Mlm’s are crazy hard. But I did personally strike some luck with working one. I worked so much selling the product then started traveling and before I knew it I was in the brochures for the company. Went across the U.S doing it. Ultimately was a great learning experience. And a stroke of luck.
MLMs are extremely unethical.
TH-cam is too saturated now.. far too hard to get anywhere with it
@click-on-it-let-talk.-_- oh piss off
Hi Mark;
Your video is perfect for someone who wants to start a side job. It’s the no BS hard facts that is missing from most videos of this subject. I’ve done most of what you described and now at 85 I think I have it figured it out …. .kinda late for that I suppose.
The point about starting an Amazon centered business is particularly important. Don’t forget, Amazon has the most important part of your business, the customer list. If you build a highly profitable business Amazon business they can, and probably have in the past, compete with you.
Not rich by any means but i like to think ive succeeded in being a decent entrepreneur so far. Slowly building my way up! Your tip about the ebay ; i actually implemented that strategy into my businesses as well, get retail customers as well as my contracting side. Great inspiring video.

Best channel on yt and it’s not even close
Thanks for your video. I have purchased a condo that has become 50% of my income by renting it out to guests.
The irony is all those side hussles teach you foundational skills for wealth creation...sales , marketing, leadership and investment.
Real estate depends on local laws. Before you get into it check the laws.
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.
Amazing Video Mark!
Very good tips. One thing I would say about TH-cam though, is that if you have the skils, at least it's free to do and it can be a good way to promote yourself to potential customers or employers.
Your side business is to tell people how to do their own side business while telling people you have multiple millions of dollars in businesses while using all of your time making TH-cam videos. This makes total sense😂
The one real estate thing that I feel like is a good investment is commercial. I have been considering to buy a newer school campus that went under. With around 15k sqft of classrooms and such, also being less than a 1/4 mile from a community college, I could provide more study space and experiment spaces. I could make it an incubator. I could start my Custom PC and IT service company. I would have to come up with a ton of promissory contracts and then find an investor for about $2mil. Not likely but a cool idea
Very likely with a good plan and model. Investors invest, that's what they do. Position yourself attractively and try.
Property investment is good when the houses are paid for.
Hello mark. Will you please do a video on how to go about real estate as an investment? My parents never did well with their rental properties. Thank you, robert
Thank you sir
You saved our money and time
This is the type of videos people need. Reality is needed.
My first business started with rc cars
I worked at making a channel for 7 years getting demonetized, ignored, someone taking my name who already had over 1M subs, and I finally stopped doing it.
lol, eBay banned me for life as soon as hit submit to become a seller. No explanation. Maybe they did me a favor; I wouldn’t want to spend time to build something that could so easily be shut down for no reason.
What worked best for me was dropshipping. I am doing it for a year now, and it pays off greatly last three months. I am constantly hitting 14-15k USD profits since August. Consistency and hard work will always pay off at the end (with a little bit of winnerzila of course).

Stop lying
I have an entrepreneurial spirit, but I don't know what to do. Seems like my ideas are either oversaturated or are not viable.
Real Estate - Reits and a variety of real estate fractional or shared investment also exist as alternative to traditional buy/rent/resell. Not quite as useful from a control-big-value perspective but something to consider versus not doing anything in real estate at all.
I would never invest in a REIT. You have no control over what happens or decisions being made. Buy a multi family then save for the next one. That’s how I built up my property ownership. Single family homes are very risky vs a duplex or triplex. I always have income coming in from at least one unit.
Mark was lucky enough to have certain talents and finding a niche that wasn't saturated.
The best side hustle is to not need one. Get a good job that pays you enough to live, or start a legitimate business that you devote yourself to full time so that you can earn a good income from it alone. Having a job and a side hustle means basically working two jobs. Why bother, your lifetime in limited, you need some time to enjoy it.
Most Jobs suck...even the "good ones".Or they are payed poorly. The idea is simply to chose a side hustle that is fun and also makes a decent amount of money so that you eventually dont have to spend fewer or no more hours in a job thats boring or bad for you in another way
If you’re machining on manual machines, hot chips are part of the job. It really sucks when it’s an Inconel chip sticking to your lip.
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.
Love the picture with tamiyas, i love building them.
LOL. I tried drop shipping about 4 years ago. I sold a few items but in the end lost money.
Holy moly I've been trying to find a way to funnel people to me personally from ebay I never thought of including a brochure in my packages I want to kick myself right now lol
What a good random video. I am now subscribed!
Welcome aboard! MT 😎
This video doesn't provide anything except a way to shuttle people to your web site.
It's just an advertisement, hidden as low-quality content.
I don’t have a website, I just enjoy making high quality videos :) MT
When Mr.Tilbury is discussing day trading and you get trading guru add 😅😂
My ex tried the MLM scam. It was costing me $700 to a grand every month for her to collect a $400 check every month. This went on for three years. When I put a stop to it she started screwing around on me.
I’ve been with several mlm. I was brain washed so I believed. I was really passionate about it. After 2 years, I was done and jumped in another one. Bought 2 very expensive Kangen machines plus their supplements for more than $10k. That machine is now hiding in the closet. The supplements I’m not sure if my parents used them. Crazy. I will not ever wish people fall for this.
My Greatest goal is to have $1m in my savings when i retire after this whole struggle.
@@arabellamuller2461 I must say I acknowledge investment, that’s the swift way to get ahead to build wealth, but how ? What is worth investing ?
Saving is a good idea, try adding investments to your plans too. Good day
Hi, it’s great that you intend to save butTo save a million you have to earn and put around $800 k of you own money away, if you invest in index funds you may only have to use between $130-$160 of your own money to get to your million. I know which one I would do. Good luck my friend MT 😎
Side hustles almost always fail. Quit your day job and commit full time. Dilettantes only enrich the side hustle hustlers.
I attended a recruitment seminar for one of these pyramid scheme organizations as a curiosity. As a salesman myself, I’m always interested in seeing an alternative approach to generating clients and closing techniques. I can tell you that it’s staggering how gullible some of the general public is. I could see through the BS, but man do they push the “sizzle” in those seminars and deflect any major criticisms or concerns.
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.
But in DROPSHIPPING what if you test the product quality beforehand and have your own inventory which you send to a warehouse ( I know then it not really dropshipping but you can do this to scale once people start buying a lot)
Hi, 100% correct, if you stock the product user you’re own label then you are building a business. Fantastic I wish you all the best. MT 😎
I learned a lot from this video. Thanks for insightful advice!
Ive been doing affiliate marketing for several years income in excess of $100K per year. Over half of that comes from Amazon. Why TH-cam so called experts constantly denigrate Amazon is a mystery.
Love your videos Mark, I have began investing in stocks and my youtube channel is doing quite well too. Hope to keep working hard to see more growth in anything I do and learn more from you
I've had excellent results with stock investments since I began investing in the 1970s, when the Dow Jones Average was bouncing around between 700-1000. Now it's at 35,000.
Mostly I've been a buy 'n hold invester, often using DRIPS as investment vehicles.
That still works very well for me over the decades.
The big exception was Washington Mutual ---you can look up what happened to that bank in 2008 if you wish!
Focus on value to the consumer as that’s all anyone’s gives a toss about. If they think they’re in for a bang, bucks are only a matter of time
Love the dramatic flair in this one, keep it up
Feels good to be Early here!
Excellent video! A side hustle is often just a nice name for another job
