How to make money (seriously)

[mistarin]

We can now call the era we live in artificial intelligence. Just like inventions, startup business ideas have reached their saturation point. I believe only the top 5% can be created by those who are considered superior minds and visionaries. There are many challenging paths to traverse for a business to truly make money, but I have no idea how to make money online anymore. Everything is already there, but most things have been done, and it's doubtful that creating something better or more advanced will instantly generate money. I don't understand how people's money-making systems work anymore. Is paying jobs the only way? The shining star of information technology seems to be fading. I've stopped thinking about a project making money because it seems like 50 people have already tried it.

Everything is already there,

Competition is a good thing as it usually means there is some value in what is being offered.

It's not unusual in many areas to see a handful of restaurants in the same area as that is where people go to eat.

The same thing applies to us in the digital marketing industry... if you build it right, and support your clients, they will come.

it can feel overwhelming when everything seems saturated. But innovation often isn’t about creating something brand new; it’s about improving, adapting, or targeting a specific niche better than others. Many successful online businesses aren’t the first of their kind they just execute better or reach the right audience

Don’t give up on ideas just because others have tried them. Focus on value, consistency, and differentiation.

When people look at an object, they see the same thing, but they evaluate it differently. The devil is in the details? But it is precisely the details that allow you to make something new out of an ordinary product.

You can copy already working businesses. Excecution should be better.

Make sure you provide value to your clients. Then they will keep coming back to you.

Competitors is so good.

Why?

You know that have demand, offers and clients.

You need focus to pick a piece of this pizza.

Not be top 1.

Nice thread, @mistarin Love that you added seriously because it filters out the usual ‘get rich quick’ nonsense. The real ways usually boil down to:

• Skill-based income → freelancing (writing, design, coding, SEO, automation).
• Building digital assets → blogs, YouTube channels, niche sites, email lists.
• Service reselling / arbitrage → buy low, sell high (Fiverr → Upwork model).
• Long-term plays → investing, crypto, or ecom once you’ve got capital.

No shortcuts, just consistency. Appreciate you starting this thread, mistarin — it’s the kind of reminder people need when they get distracted by hype."
