My understanding is that to be able to mine a meaningful amount of crypto, you need to set up a farm, buy hundreds of graphics cards, buy electricity cheaply, etc, but that it's got infinitely harder in the last few years. This isn't my field, so do your own research.
Mining crypto (BTC) is now more expensive per coin than the value per coin. Why not invest in BTC instead? With a fixed supply of 21 million coins, Bitcoin provides a reliable store of value, positioning it as a compelling option for retirement investors seeking a hedge against monetary debasement. 2025 is highly likley to prove BTC as a great asset in a bull market.
A friend of mine figured out his online business path by leaning into what he already had years of hands-on experience with—construction equipment. Instead of chasing random “hot” niches, he started sharing practical tips, troubleshooting guides, and even safety know-hows around excavator use and maintenance. At first, it was just for a small community he was in, but over time it built him a solid following and turned into a steady source of income. The big takeaway was that when you work in a space you actually understand, it’s much easier to produce valuable content and gain trust, which makes monetizing far more straightforward.
That's true very often - IF there is demand for the niche. If there's nobody out there who wants the information, product, or service that you offer you have nothing to monetize. Another profitable way of monetizing information is by reviewing products and preparing reports based on those reviews. Success relies on you actually getting the product and using it so you know what you're talking about when you create your review. And, of course, your review must be completely impartial (something that's difficult to pull off, especially if at the end of your review you're offering that product as an affiliate sale). And again, you'll need to make sure there is demand for the products that you review.
Hey everyone, I’ve been testing out a few apps to see which ones are actually worth the time, and I came across Paidwork. It’s pretty simple—you can do small tasks like surveys, watching ads, or even playing games and get paid for it. I wasn’t sure if it would be legit at first, but so far it seems like an easy way to make a little extra cash on the side. Nothing crazy, but better than scrolling aimlessly on my phone. Curious if anyone else here has tried it and what your experience was? Here’s the link if you want to check it out: https://www.paidwork.com/
Honestly, the best way is to pick one path and stick with it. Freelancing if you need quick cash, or e-commerce if you’re thinking long term. If you’re curious about Amazon FBA, I learned a lot from FreeBirds Academy—really simplified the process for me.
Platforms like Fiverr, Upwork, or SEOClerk are great for offering services you’re already good at—writing, design, coding, marketing, etc. It’s one of the fastest ways to earn online.
Yeah, I used to think the same until I got proper training. FreeBirds Academy really helped me structure everything — now my store runs smoothly
First, I analyze the environment where I am going to do business; that is the foundation. Then I calculate, and only then do I start doing something.
Back in the day, it'd be the "opportunities and threats" part of a business plan, right? The absolute bare minimum task before leaping into any project.
That is certainly where most plans start. I think that it becomes a question of granularity with these topics. As a B2B sales and marketing guy, I am willing to consider Threats from 40,000 feet without much more research. E.g., Is there a 600-pound gorilla in the space that could put us out of business in a matter of weeks with a copycat solution? Or is there a new law being proposed that would make the business hard or even illegal? If not, I can tolerate most other threats at this stage of discovery. But I do need to dive deeper into the Opportunity. "10 million businesses could use this B2B solution!" means nothing to me. My drill down, initial questions will be: who is the specific buyer and how many of them can we expect to be able to identify (commercial databases, lists, events, etc.) to try to engage with? How does our solution compare with what they are doing now from the perspective of replacement potential? Can we take advantage of this opportunity profitably?
