I'm a full-stack developer with solid knowledge. I've been studying for over 4 years now and have learned multiple tools. I want to start making money, but freelancing feels difficult. Fiverr has very high competition, and on Upwork you usually need connections to get jobs. Looking for small businesses near me probably won’t work either since I’m not very social.


So I’m thinking of other ways to make money. I’m considering building a streaming website for films and series. I would either store thousands of files on a hard drive or use third-party links, then put ads on the site.

What I want to know is:
  • Will this be expensive?
  • Do I need high-end infrastructure?
  • Is it even worth it in the first place?
 
Yes very expensive and get you arrested, and hard to market, and get money through related gateways. Apart from that? lol yeah its a piece of cake.
 
He's very capable, my friend; he takes great photos and shows the results to everyone.

The coding part is probably the easiest the real challenges are content rights, hosting costs and getting users to stay on the platform.
 
You need to devise a method to legitimize all the resources you use; otherwise, you will face legal consequences.
 
Yes, there's high competition on Fiverr. You can try generating traffic for your services from outside Fiverr.
 
If you use Fiverr farms, you will find that the competition isn't as fierce as you imagined.
 
Movies are very likely to involve copyright issues. I think it would make more sense to develop and sell marketing tools instead.
 
With your skills I would build useful products or offer development services. They are more sustainable and can grow into steady income
 
I think AI content creation will continue to grow. Short AI dramas and story-based videos are getting millions of views on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Kwai. If you can consistently produce engaging content, there are plenty of monetization options.

Yes, building a streaming website is a good idea. You can learn from the journey threads and guides on the forum. Traffic plan is very important.
