Hey Guys,

What do you think is a skill I should invest in to make money online independently as a career.

I was a previous Data Analyst. I was working for big tech comapanies but I resigned and do not want to work for anyone anymore as I get treated as a machine and theres just a lot of anxiety.

I want to invest on a skill to be really good at to make a career online for myself or as a service maybe. I dont know if SEO, Affiliate marketing or paid media buying.

Would appreciate your inputs and what worked for you. :)
 
I turned my hand to animations and better-designed merch t-shirts recently and have had good results, all down to buying a cheap second-hand Wacom tablet and tracing AI people for animations and AI drawings for higher quality merch designs. There is no shortage of people that want to buy t-shirts of merch, and watch animations, just like anything, you have to dedicate a large portion of time to be successful, as the barrier of entry with technology is low. The fun, and craziness that you can have with both, isn't easily chatgpt, or outsourced by third world worker.

Thanks for the reply. Where do you sell your merch. Do you have your own website or do you use Etsy and other platforms. What do you think about print on demand? Thanks

I sell on society6/threadless/spreadshirt and on my own website under the platform fourthwall. I don't want to sell on etsy, as that cost moniez, and don't want the customer service and negative feedback hassle. I'd rather avoid that, and have all that automated by the site, even if the trade of is less sales, at least I can work on other projects and methods, and earn really auto pilot from those sites.

What do I think of POD? It's massive. People love tees and merch; they just don't always get presented with the right opportunity, so it's up to me and others (maybe you?) to bring that quality and design opportunity to the market for them. Those 3 sites have good traffic.

Spread Shirt gets about 1.5 million visits per month, while the other two get about 2 million each.

So you are paying AI professionals to create custom designs of these animations that otherwise don't exist or..?
 
You fired your employer, but this world is very different from corporate world.
You will have to earn every penny instead of getting paid a salary.
If you haven't earned money online you will be starting from scratch.
You might want to find another employer earned some money online and then fire the employer.
Salaried employment is like free money compared to earning every penny online.

Nah, i use chatgpt to generate a character body, and then I meme the head, and work with adobe character aniamtor to have a large range of motions and mouth movements, then export said finished animation to a background on blender/premiere/animate or another video editor.

Charachter aniamtor does much of the heavy lifting, and I use the good quality merch designs I make on ai to trace, and get better vector based high quality designs. I made a photoshop character animation which was actually easier, as you just import your photo char from chatgpt, and cut it up into the pieces to make it compatible with CA. Then you can walk talk, run jump, punch, dance, idle, and a few more hundred variations of those. There are already a good number of puppets on the adobe site to download and play with in the pro version of CA too, as well as the standard ones that come wit the software.
