Online businesses: Amazon private-label business, drop shipping site, kindle/audible business, build a SMMA Social Media Marketing Agency. These all take 6+ months to first $1k profit. 2. Freelance: many have made their first first $1k in 90 days – if you can write. Or offer other freelance skills. Create an Upwork.com and FreeeUp.com account to get jobs. And, post on IG & FB and LinkedIn, that your agency (just you, for now) offers this services. 3. Long-term passion business: start a blog around your passion and/or expertise. Write a blog post at least 1 per week. Create IG, YT, Pinterest pages around it & post 1 per week.

You can either pay cash, or don’t go to college! Luckily, if the former isn’t an option, there are more ‘alternative-education’ options than every before. But if you HAVE to go to college (why? Because of your parents? If so, you should question that, and focus on what YOU want - it’s your life and you are in control, not your parents or grandparents) you can go to a less expensive one. 1. Two year community college — less expensive than Uni. 2.
