Hey everyone! Discovered this website (and i love it) a month ago,this is my first time writing here so apologies if something is off or anything.
So little info about me,i just turned 21 this September and i've been following ways on how to make money online for almost a year.
Lately i've been feeling completly burned out. I'm a university student still living with his parents in a third world country with the only source of income, a part time job in a fast food which pays (after converting my currency) 55$ a month. Needless to say there isnt much to invest with that kind of revenue.
And i've been feeling completely exhausted,by seeing all these kids online hundreds of thousands of dollars every year (sometimes months) i feel like i'm pressuring myself into "succeeding" at online marketing (while having absolutely no knowledge in it except some notions) before i reach 25 year old.
What do you guys think?should i chill back and "enjoy" my youth as best as i can?Or should i continue to pursue making cash online relentlessly?
And if any of you were in my shoes,what did you do to over come it?
Ps: if any of you could link a thread or something for me to follow on making my first buck online it would be much appreciated.
Sorry for the lengthy read lol
 
What skills do you have?
Well i wouldnt consider them skills but i speak fluently 3 languages (arabic,french and english) both written and spoken,but like i'm no language professional,just learned them as a kid and grew up with them.

You can write then... even if you do not think you can you certainly can.

Write as you speak if you are not a writer.

Spend 20.00 on a domain and hosting, do some KW research or buy some KWs and start building as site.

After a while create some Web 2.0s (they are free to create) and link to your site and start getting it ranked.

Find some CPA offers and put them on your site and see what comes of it.
 
Start reading books , educate yourself , university itself won't give you much useful information . Start reading as many books as you can ,but not only read them , understand them , try to understand them . Try different topics , after a few there might be some that inspires you to learn more and more about it , once you are inspired it'll be quite easy :)
 
First thing is first mate. Don't compare yourself to others. You're only competing against yourself. Most of the kids you see claiming to make big bucks are either in debt, or have dad's money (most common), or are completely full of shit. So don't worry about that. You're only competing against yourself. Every time you feel yourself feeling envious of others, use it as a motivation to get to where you want to be, not as a way to feel bad about yourself. You're only competing against yourself.

Next, realize that you can certainly be one of the people who goes from rags to riches. It happens every day, and it has probably happened to someone this year who was in the same situation that you're starting from. It's the exception, but YOU CAN BE THE EXCEPTION. You can do it. But you need to start small. You're not going to jump from $55/month to $100,000 a month overnight.

As for practical advice - pick something that you can do with almost no startup cash. Sounds like you have very little time and very little money to invest. You could try to start grinding free traffic methods - all you would need for these are a domain/hosting and time. You can find various methods in the Making Money and My Journey Discussion sections.

BUT, with a job, university, and very little cash, it's going to be tough, because you lack both time and money. You can certainly do it. But you may want to try to "create" another job for yourself first, so you can quit your fast food job (free up time and get more startup cash).

You mention you speak three languages fluently. That's a skill. You can charge money for that. If it were me, I would go to Fiverr, Upwork, and various other freelance sites, and start posting gigs (Fiverr) and bidding on gigs (other freelance sites) that pertain to any of the languages you speak. Can you write with proper grammar in each of these languages? If you can, you can VERY easily get to $55 per month and beyond. You only need to secure a couple jobs per month to achieve that level of income. Once you're getting at least $55 per month, you can quit your job use your newfound time and money into making passive internet money.

Do some research on how to use freelancing sites, how to get gigs as a new freelancer, etc. - then get to work on finding translation and general writing opportunities. That's what I would do. Just my 2 cents.

In a few months, you may find that you are making $550 per month instead of $55, all while working 50% less. :)

I'm sure you are from Morocco and maybe working at McDonalds
 
The best things u can do in this situation is selling something as this will give you lonet quickly. U should learn new skills ASAP if you want to change your situation.

For example, learn Photoshop and sell Logo's in Fiverr, 99design...

This is the best method. Don't waste your time now with CPA or IG or anything else that require investement and a lot of knowledge.
 
Yes, what this guy said. There is a difference with reading and understanding. Refer to the book "How to Read a Book" - by Adler J. Mortimer

Also, you should invest your time in learning skills that contribute to internet marketing. For instance, programming will greatly increase your money making options on the internet. I learned java 2 years ago, started android over 1 year ago, now i am making more than 100$ per day ofc using some black hat aso sauce.. i am now aiming for more.. i wouldn't be in this place if i didn't know programming practically.. programming will greatly aid you in these types of endeavors. Dream, be persistent even if you feel drained at some times. Don't forget to take rests or think about non-money stuffs while you live.. to not get too lost in it.. doing that drains my mind in my experience. Exercise regularly and entertain yourself with your hobbies or by reading poems/fiction or something like that.

Go listen to 'The Psychology of Achievement' by Brian Tracy. Find a goal that you're passionate about because clearly what you think you want right now is not your goal, it's somebody else's. Get that right first, and the rest will take care of itself (with hard work and focused execution).
 
Asking those questions is nice, the truth is that no one have a magic stick with your answers. Listening for too many ppl can confuse you. Thats why you should listen and not listen to me at the same time
If you want to double up your money you need to take risks. And you need to dig deep until you locate your comfort niche aka zone. Some ppl good with coding some with sales, etc.
Take risk mean: forget about everything and stick to your laptop until the dollars knock on your screen. When you see them : create an action plan how you are going to scale. Stick to it. When you have the dollars buy to your family some things that will make them happy the smile on their faces will motivate you to double twice. Goodluck
 
There are a lot of resources here about methods which don't require investment.
 
It all guns down to these two things:

"Be Brave" AND
"Work Hard"

As others said, you don't need investment. Just Keep grinding.
 
Hey mate I want you to know I am a third world immigrant (poland) and recent military veteran. I had no fucking clue of how to do any graphic design, web design, logos, word press, ig botting, etc. I took the time to browse these forums, got Jarvee up and running with 45 IG accounts and dropshipping businesses to 3g/ month$. I literally sat for 12 hours on youtube watching videos on how to use Photoshop, Illustrator, and Wordpress.
I sold it all and am starting fresh now actually. Keep your head up. There is so much to do.
