Success Comes From Within: Earning Money In a Modern Society

College Degrees. The honest truth that few of us want to admit is that they just aren’t as valuable as we need them to be.

They used to be a ‘golden ticket’ into a high paying, 6 figure job. But now, they’re expectation. There’s actually a term for it, called ‘degree inflation’.

And company experience won’t get you much, because the average pay raise goes down over time, despite sky-high inflation.

And while this may seem like bad news for those with college degrees, it’s even worse news for those who don’t possess one.

Because the honest reality is, if you don’t have a college degree, you may struggle to get any job at all; let alone a desirable one.

The Game of Life is Unfair, So Play Unfair

A normal life just won’t cut in today’s society. That’s what a lot of people are realizing nowadays, that just being average is not good enough.

This is why you need a secondary source of income.

Whether it be selling homemade candies on Etsy, creating your own website, or just writing articles on Medium. You need to have something.

Now you might realize at this point in the article, but think about it even harder. Companies are laying people off, not hiring them.

Google and Amazon are laying off enormous parts part of their workforce.

What happens to those layed off? They got a college degree, they put in all the work to build up their resume, and get hired. But it just wasn’t good enough.

The truth is, they’re likely not doing too well. This is because virtually all companies want to get rid of people to cut expenses, but they don’t actually want to hire anyone.

So whether they switched to retail, or are working a burger joint, somehow they put in their all and for them it just wasn’t enough. Now how do you not end up like them.

How You Can Earn Money And Stay Ahead of The Curve

One of the best ways to get ahead is to earn money online. But how?

There are two simple steps to obtaining money online; Creating something worth value to others, and promoting it.

Creating Something Worth Value

There are a lot of ways to stay ahead of they curve, but one of the best is creating a website. Personally, I would suggest Wordpress. (You can also try alternatives such as Wix or Squarespace)

You could also try your hand at creating 3d models and selling them online, or creating your own video game to sell to others.

Whether it be mobile apps, or computer games, there is an enormous market.

If you are less acquainted with technology, that’s perfectly okay!

You can pay others to help you create your own site, on websites like Fivver, or use easy website creators like Wix. It does not take that much effort to use these platforms.

You can create your own article writing site and implement Google’s Ad program.

This allows you to earn money based off of your web traffic.

Promoting Your Product

You need social media accounts. You also need followers, which means that you need to follow others, and interact with people.

I would suggest at the bare minimum: having a Twitter account, a Medium, and an Instagram for an online business.

These are some of the most important ones. Additionally, there is a limit to the amount of people you can follow per day on most platforms. Try to hit it.

Make sure to follow others, this is one of the best ways to promote your site, or product and gain new followers.

I would suggest aiming to try to hit 100 followers at minimum on each platform you choose to promote yourself on. That is an easy goal to hit, and will let you promote yourself effectively.

Generally just subtly promote yourself on whatever medium you wish to engage with others in.

For example, if you write for Medium, and you created a website, promote your website or product, and write articles about.

It is crucial to intertwine everything you do online, interact with people, and promote your website, product, or whatever you’re trying to sell to your friends and family.

Overall you should focus on promoting yourself, and getting your message out to others, often times it can be even more important than the product you are offering. (as long as you actually have a product)

It can be very difficult to earn money in today’s society, and it can seem intimidating with AI, and inflation, it can just seem overwhelming, but I hope this clears things up as to how you can succeed in a world that seems to be fighting against you.
