Since I was little, I used to question a lot of things. I always questioned the education system. I questioned the traditional life journey of getting a college degree, get in debt and find a normal job and live a normal life. They tried to tell me that i’m not fit for school, because I questioned what they were teaching me. They tried to convince my parents I wasn’t ready.. in fact I was way too ready.
But let’s not talk about school, that’s not the point of this article. Let’s talk about having a job instead. I could never be an employee. From my early days, from the days I refused to do homework because I didn’t see a point in it, until today when I refuse to be employed even as a part time employee. That’s not who I am. I tried working part time at a local grocery shop, ended it after just 4 days.
Alright, you might be thinking right now i’m just lazy and don’t like to work hard. Wrong
I do social media. Wait, seriously?
Yes, and i’m not just another cringy influencer who does TikTok trends. I’m an actual figure, spreading my knowledge and experiences to people who are interested in listening to me. I work hard on something I have control over, rather than doing something else what I hate and for someone I do not like.
You know why social media is a powerful tool today and even old school entrepreneurs are starting to hop on the train? Because it has NO LIMITS
See, when you’re working a job, you get paid hourly. You can only make as much money as you got time in the day. Hence, it has limits. And these limits are pretty damn low compared to something like social media. On the internet, I can reach an infinite amount of people, willing to listen to what i’m saying. That’s why it’s so powerful.
Another reason why social media is the way forward is the fact that you’re self employed. You’re your own boss. Right now as i’m writing this, I decided to write this article myself. I don’t have to. But I want to. I get to choose my work material and working hours.
You might say that “What if it fails? What if I waste my time and resources.” You will not waste your time. Even if you fail, which you probably will if it’s your first time trying social media, it’s just a lesson. A valuable lesson which you can use later in your life. And you’re better than when you started. You haven’t wasted your time.
You need to start your journey ASAP. Doesn’t matter if you’ll suck at first. If you’re a fan of sports, for example football just like myself, grow a pair of balls and get yourself infront of a camera and start recording TikToks and Instagram Reels. If you’re scared of the camera, you can download Twitter and start interacting with other people. You can monetize an audience at any circumstance. Examples of monetizing an audience are affiliate marketing, dropshipping, SMMA, or even a newsletter which I am doing just now. Right now this newsletter isn’t monetized yet, but stay tuned for the future!
You can grow an audience on various social media platforms. Instagram, Twitter, Tiktok, Youtube, Reddit, Discord come to mind. All amazing if you manage to grow an audience. But growing an audience takes time and patience. If you’re not disciplined and patient, forget about making money through social media. Go get a minimal wage job and live an average life.
But if you don’t wanna live an average life, start taking social media seriously.
