The big problem is that study for years before we can start earning money. But the truth is that there are ways to make money well before starting college, or even without in this video I want to show you three ways to make money without necessarily having a degree. First of all, I want to make an introduction here explaining that I'm not saying that college isn't important or isn't good; on the contrary, it's something very positive. I've already gone to college, but there are skills and things that even college doesn't teach that are essential for our professional lives. And I also understand that not everyone has had the opportunity to study or to graduate, right? It 's not something that's so accessible even today , whether it's because of the cost of college itself or even because of daily routines, because sometimes a person lives in such a difficult context that it 's not possible for them to dedicate 4 hours a day to studying, for example. So she ends up having to choose other paths. And there are also cases of people who go to college but don't do what they're looking for, to make money, and end up with their diploma in a drawer for the rest of their so you understand that I'm not speaking ill of those who go to college, nor judging them, nor saying it's not good, but I'm bringing up other points of view so that you can understand a little more about how to apply this to your life and achieve financial results, even without a degree. So, knowing this, go ahead and leave a like on this video and let's get to the content. The first way you can make money without a college degree might be through the most important skill in the world, because only those who master this skill make real money, which is nothing more than sales skills. If you're a salesperson, regardless of the product, service, or anything else , if you have persuasion and sales skills, you 'll never be broke, because it's through sales that you can achieve faster returns. For sell today and manage to make five sales, then you've already seen a return on the results from sales because they don't know how to sell, they don't know the process. And sales, contrary to what many people think, which is either you're born a salesperson, or you're a domino, or that's it, I don't know how to . Like any other skill, sales can be trained. So, every company needs to make a profit. And to make a profit, you have to have sales; there's no way around it some examples of professions degree to be able to sell. First, a real estate or car broker. You can simply sell a person's property on their behalf and earn a commission on it. Sales representatives, so you don't need to have the store's inventory or anything like that, but you have the company that provides that for you, and you 'll simply be the connection between the customer and the product. A sales closer, right? Today, especially in the digital world, we have several closers who are skilled people to create a sales funnel and, through that funnel, close sales with the company's clients, or even online sales, which are the sales of products or services through social media, which also sometimes ask, "Hey, do you think this market is saturated?" Folks, the sales market in humanity has never been saturated and probably never will be. And I can guarantee you that no one will ever ask what your degree is a company more profitable through sales. The second way is through digital skills. Today, with your cell phone and sometimes a computer, or even just your cell phone, you can learn many things that have market value, that is, things that are worth money. Someone would pay you to do that for them. Some examples include video editing, design, paid traffic, and programming. you don't necessarily need to know programming if you're proficient in cloud computing, which is that shown you here, but I want to make a more in-depth video about cloud computing. However, in the cloud code tab, you can give commands to the artificial intelligence and it will create all the programming code and apply it to your computer for you. You just need to master it and know how to give it the right commands. Through the cloud, you can create websites, pages, automations, entire and complete systems, spreadsheets—anything you can imagine in terms of programming. In fact, this is a field that very few people truly master. So I'm sure that if you charged any company to create a program that would work and make their daily lives easier , they would definitely pay for it. Automations—anything that's an operational task—the cloud can automate. Even this video you're watching right now, it was posted on YouTube by Cloud, because I created an automation to make this process easier for me. So, nowadays I'm no longer the one posting my videos. The person who posts them—I create the title, the description, upload the video, wait for it to load on YouTube, schedule it for the right time—all of that is done by the program I created through the cloud. And that saved me a lot of time in my day-to- day work, because I used to watch the whole video, post it myself, think about the titles, test titles, and change them. It must have saved me at least a couple of hours a day of that work, which I can now do for other activities. And all the benefits you bring to a person who is, for example, like me, a self-employed worker or a company, certainly have a lot of market value. So, if you master this type of skill, you'll never be unemployed. And the third way to make money without a degree today is through content creation. And then you might think: "Oh, it's only for bloggers, people with lots of followers, and so on ." But you're mistaken. Today there are websites that hire people to create organic content, which is the famous UGC creator, right? That's the person who sometimes picks up, I don't know, a controller, and I want to promote that controller. So I go to this website, advertise it, and get 20 anonymous people just to record a video talking about my controller, explaining it, giving the information. And then I pay these people, these independent creators, anonymous ones too, who aren't well-known, public figures or anything, but just by having the ability to speak to the camera, to express their ideas through a line of reasoning that makes sense, these people are already able to have this job. Furthermore, creating content for social media, whether it's YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, all the platforms you see here, is a very lucrative business because you have people's attention , which is the new currency these days, right? So, attention is focused equally on where the money is. If people's attention is focused on a specific topic, there's absolutely no way you'll make a lot of money there, because you can sell services, you can sell products, you can promote anything you want. And that's true within any niche, right? A niche is simply the area in which you will work. It could be beauty, motherhood, cooking, finance, organization, motherhood, language lessons (if you know a different language, for example), music, even TV series and movies; curiosities are a niche today where you can position yourself and monetize your content. Of course, no one will tell you about the difficult parts of it, so there are several layers of things you need to know before jumping into this profession. Like any other profession, you'll need to stand out and really take it seriously. It's not like how people sell it out there, is it? All you have to do is record it and you're done. And he'll become famous overnight, he'll go viral, and he'll sell a lot. We wish it were that easy , right? But content production also requires strategy and method, just like any other profession. Nobody starts at the top, earning a lot right away and knowing exactly where to go and what to do. You'll have to get a lot of things right and wrong before you get there. You're going to have to train a lot, seek out knowledge, understand your market, understand what people are doing, and dedicate many hours to studying until you become good at any of these things I've suggested here. The market has changed a lot, hasn't it? The a degree was mandatory to otherwise you wouldn't even get a job. Nowadays, not necessarily anymore, but what will make you stand out as a professional are your skills and the amount of transformation you generate in your environment , regardless of what that environment is. And if you can do that with a degree, great, but even without a degree, you can still get there.
