 I wanna talk about five ways right now. I mean, literally write fucking now that you can make some cash. And so what most people talk about income, they talk about passive income. I don't know about you, but 99% of things aren't passive. And the things that people say are passive aren't fucking passive. They have to still put in the work and put in the hours and maintain it. There's no such thing as passive income. You gotta put in the fucking work to make sure the system and machine works. So what I wanna talk about are those things that you can do today right now in this crazy situation that we're in, because we are in a crazy situation. We're talking about up to 20% of the workforce gone. And so the question is, what can you do right now to make some extra fucking cheddar? So I'm gonna lay out a couple of things, okay? I have five things, five things. Number one, I've said this a hundred times, you can start consulting. Like I can't stress how important consulting is, consulting, advisory, whatever you wanna call it. Listen, listen to me. You have a skill, you have experience. Let's say you're a developer, let's say you're a marketer, let's say you're an HR, let's say you're whatever. And so many different types of positions in the world. You have years of experience, you have domain expertise, and a lot of people are looking for this knowledge. And what's great about consulting, guess what it costs you to start? Nothing, it's free, it's zero. It boggles my mind that people don't do this more often. And so what can you do? Well, number one, create a simple website of yourself. You can even just do a medium, a medium website, it's free. Make a, or even about me, you know, about me, about.me, where you can just make a personal profile about yourself. It's free. You don't have to even do complicated things with WordPress. Then you can go to platforms like Upwork or many other freelancing platforms and look for job posting that people are doing, or you can fill out your profile there and then tell the world the specialties that you have. That's one way on a digital aspect. Second way that you can do is go through your network, like, hey guys, I'm consulting right now advising. If you know anybody who's looking for specialists and this criteria, holler at me. All this, guess what it costs you? Like I said, zero, nothing, it's free. It's free. And the great thing about consulting brings in cash day one. And we're not talking, when I'm talking about these like five tips, I'm not talking about, oh man, how can I bring in extra $50,000 a month? Might need to be fucking great. I'm talking about, yeah man, in this crazy time that we're in and we're entering a fucking recession, you can bring in like an extra $1,000 a month? That goes a long way. Imagine 2,000, 3,000, like every dollar that you earn extra is better than fucking no dollars earned. Also the fact that the experience and the knowledge you gain from doing this, don't forget that. It's not about the end, it's a journey. Okay, so consulting number one, look into it, man. All of you, everybody listen to this or watch this, have some type of knowledge that people want. Okay, don't undersell yourself. Number two, I love this, I'm gonna share a story. Etsy, so Etsy is like the artisan type of eBay, Amazon place, like Artisco. And so what's cool about Etsy is like, let's say you have that skill, you can create stuff, build stuff, or refurbish stuff, which is one of my stories, where you can then put on Etsy and sell them. So I'll tell you a story, friend's mom of mine was retired and she started doing Etsy. She went around garage sales, obviously can't do garage sales right now, but you can do Facebook marketplaces and you can pick up stuff, they'll leave it on the side. Like it's crazy. I think right now the whole arbitrage stuff that Gary V talks about, it's gonna be fucking huge, huge, I think it's massive business opportunity. Anyways, she picks up furniture, she refurbish it because she has time, she's retired and she makes it really, really fucking nice. She sells a lot on Etsy and she brings in an extra couple of thousand dollars a month. Mind you, that's not gonna be you from day one, but if you have the skill set to build something, to refurbish something, to find something somewhere else on Facebook marketplace or Kajiji or Craigslist or whatever and you can tidy it up and make it look nice and resell it. Like if that's you, if you're in that category of the artisan, then what do you got to lose? Nothing. It forces you to think as an operator, as a business owner, it forces you to figure out marketing, how do you get people to your Etsy store, how do you do social media? Hey, you got time right now, get to it. Number two is Etsy. Number three, I just quickly mentioned it, is arbitrage. So you're gonna buy a product, you don't even have to buy a product, you might get products for free or get products really cheap. Anyways, you wanna get a product, whether you're sourcing products from Kajiji or Facebook marketplace or whatever or anywhere, any supply chain that you know of, you're getting a product and you're reselling it on eBay or even on Facebook marketplace, really doesn't matter, these are just platforms. The whole thing is like if you have the insight and you know for a fact that you can get some type of product for X and sell it for Y, then go do it and it can be something so small where you might know of a supply chain where you get, I don't know, like fuck man, like headsets, like you get headsets for cheaper than anybody else. Why not go sell that on eBay or Facebook marketplace? Why not? Why not? Or why not do this? Why not make a big announcement on Kajiji or Craigslist or Facebook marketplace, like hey, I'll come up and pick up anything you have, I'll clean up your stuff because people have a lot of shit. And then through that shit, you might find some diamonds in the rough that you can resell, right? So this arbitrage, man, there's arbitrage in everything. This is business 101, arbra fucking trajing, okay? Number four, e-commerce, a little bit more difficult but not too difficult, especially with Shopify right now. Literally, you can start for Shopify free trial, click a button, you don't need to know any coding, literally like it's so fucking easy. Like what Shopify has done to streamline and commoditize e-commerce businesses is amazing. Like Toby and the team, congratulations. The caveat though is your supply chain. You don't wanna be relying on China right now. So if you can figure out a supply chain in your neighborhood or in your country, what's stopping you, man? Like I'll give you an example, something that I would do just for shits and giggles on the side, cause I love it. Like really beautiful, handmade, small coffee tables. Like I would go to woodworkers in my area, let's say I'm in Ontario, I'm in Ontario and I'll call them up. I'm like, hey man, of course you're hurting for business. Listen, they're not the best of fucking marketing or branding. Make me this, I'm gonna buy four, five of them or tell you what, let's do consignment. So there's no, the skin of the game is on both ends. Listen, we're not putting up cash, we'll do consignment. Everything will stay where you are. What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna be responsible for marketing it. So you call up all these woodworkers and I just love coffee tables, hence why I'm bringing it up. And I'm like, all right, I got three of them. And they're gonna make like a couple of these beautiful hand designed wood coffee tables. I'm gonna go there, I'm gonna take pictures or let's say we're doing Corona right now, they can take pictures and send it to me. Doesn't mean, guys don't even have to fucking meet. Put that on Shopify, start marketing, use Instagram, use the channels, learn about it. You get a sale, you call up your woodworker like, hey, ship with this address, you split the revenue. It's a win-win fucking relationship. And it costs you nothing at the beginning. All this stuff is free, but you're time. So investigate in that, look at that, e-commerce. Number five, probably one of the easiest things to get started at that you probably don't need nothing but just your keyboard, maybe even your fucking phone is affiliate marketing, this is how I got started in. So affiliate marketing is very simple. You find a product you like or service, you send people there, you get a commission. You can go to places like Clickbank, they have a million different selections, million different categories, you can go on Amazon. In fact, what I like to do, audit what products and services you use currently. Look if they have an affiliate program, 99% of them do, reach out to them, especially now during this time, be like, hey man, I wanna start, I guarantee you, they're gonna give you an extra percentage on top of their current percentage when it comes to affiliates. And then go out there, start feeling, what's cool about affiliate marketing is you don't even really need a fucking website because they have the website. You can make Facebook groups, you can make LinkedIn groups, you can make Pinterest boards, you can do Instagram accounts. If you want, you can build a website, start doing SEO, you can do YouTube content. There's a million fucking things you can do out there to drive traffic for that. But the bottom line with these five things that I just talked about is the skills that you develop. Listen guys, it's not about creating a million dollars, it's not about creating this lifestyle you want, mind you, it's really fucking important. Of course, get your fucking million dollars, it's awesome. Build a lifestyle that you want. Like that's what we're talking about. But what's more important is putting in the work and enjoying the process, enjoying the journey, not looking towards the end and understanding this is about building the mindset the tenacity, the rigor, the grit that you need to fucking succeed in life. Because the people who are successful like they're fucking animals, man. They're animals, they're grind and they will work fucking 18 hours a day. And there's no secret to success but brutal hard work, lasering in on building skill set and jumping on the opportunity. So I'll leave it at that.
