I actually wanted to post this in the Newbie thread - Turns out I can't yet..
So let me expand a bit more on my pain here.
As I said, I am already making small amounts on the internet. Which comes as a combination of 2 YouTube channels, an Amazon affiliate, an Amazon influencer program, and sometimes some sponsorship. Last month everything combined made me 420$
What makes me feel a bit like a fool is the amount of time and work my current things are taking. My biggest revenue driver - main YouTube channel is like 7 years old with 150+ videos. All videos are with my face, making HQ tutorials on complicated software, so basically teaching people IT-related stuff.
And while I spend years to 200$/month revenue from a single channel, on this forum I find posts like " Hey! 1000$/m challenge with new youtube channel and only AI generated content ", three weeks later - Hey, we are monetized and getting 100$/month already

I believe you understand where I'm getting with this.
I sort of do understand how things work.. traffic is the key.. most "Hey I will teach you how to make money" actually make money by selling courses that don't even work and demand for that content is huge.
I want to expand a bit and try something new, something more scalable, as I'm getting really sick from my 9to5 to office work.
Investing is not a huge problem..
Perhaps you guys can guide me in the right direction where to look and where to start.
I'm not looking for "Make you rich in 2 days", but I'm also sick of YouTube tutorials like Hey just create your dropshipping and get 10k a month.
