What you achieved in 2023?

Attempting to make big money with 9-5 is a recipe for burnout in my opinion.

It's good for average salary. Higher than average salary, you're gonna be running a company for your boss lol.

Yes absolutely agreed. Sorry I wasn’t clear. I am just saying until you have great income from IM, do something that gets you money for investing into IM as well as paying the bills. 9-5 jobs are awesome for this. Atleast that has been my experience so far.

1) Got a much higher paying day job (not IM related).
2) Fixed up some problems with my elderly mother's house whilst I was visiting for a few weeks.
3) Coded up three webscraping bots, two of these I have running daily and the data is sold to my first client at around $400 a month.

(1) Finally took the plunge from content writing to copywriting, rebuilding my website from scratch and teaching myself a shitton of new skills like SEO and web design. Landed some larger clients and it finally appears that my career is taking off the way I'd always dreamed it would.

(2) This year I landed my first huge client. I wasn't sure if I was ready for this at first, so seeing their growth from my changes has been a huge dopamine rush haha.

(3) I took on a smaller job before landing the big client, and I focused too much on the bigger client to the detriment of my work for the former. I feel this was a good lesson in not taking on more than you can chew at one time, and I will be more careful about the projects I commit to in the future.

(4) I've learned a ton of new skills this year, and the funny thing I noticed was that the fastest way to learn a thing was to just start doing it, then look up the guides and reference documents once you've got a little familiarity. This means you learn directly right away, and that knowledge helps you know WHAT to look for when searching up guides etc.

try to learn new things in this year some are learned , try to earn some dollars via internet and I failed , let me try in next year and still working for it, try to earn on absence and failed , try to adobe stock earn and account suspended with more than 70$ ( that's big amount for me ) .. Try to learn new things and avoid my mistakes in 2024 and like to have earn Dollers -

Yeah, that's always something to be on guard about.

Rule of thumb for any freelancing platform is withdraw cash the millisecond you can, because you never know when some BS thing will lead to your earnings being locked away :/
