And it has been more than 3 years since he started preparing for a government job. There was Mukherjee Nagar site, there was Laxmi Nagar site. He kept preparing for different government jobs while living at different places. So he basically came to me for advice saying, brother, it has been 3 years. No exam is being cracked anywhere. Some exams are being missed by so many marks , some exams are being missed by so many marks. , some exams are being missed by so many marks. So what to do now? Has he done graduation in B.Com So now he was asking me what to do next? Should I do MCA? If you do MCA, you will get a good job. [sound of deep breathing] So I sat for half an hour and explained it to him in detail. So the knowledge that I have given, [nasal voice] Well, before telling them the knowledge that I Well, before telling them the knowledge that I gave them, let me tell you that I felt that if that one boy has this doubt, if he is not able to get a government job after preparing for it for two-three years, then the thought of doubt, if he is not able to get a government job after preparing for it for two-three years, then the thought of or taking some other degree must be coming in the mind of many people, so today I am not going to stop everyone, brother, there is no need to take any degree stop everyone, brother, there is no need to take any degree because see today the times have completely changed. I completed my graduation in 2009. So do completed my graduation in 2009. So do n't look at the time of 2009 and today's time of 2026, the times have changed so much that at that time there was no trace of AI. The digital world did not exist. I mean, YouTube existed at that time, but it was at a very small and light level. Facebook had also arrived. Things like Instagram did not exist. I do Things like Instagram did not exist. I do n't know whether digital aids were working at that time or not. If you look at today's world, every person is spending most of his time on mobile phone. If he has 6-7 hours in 24 hours, if he is sleeping then after excluding those 6-7 hours, he spends 90% of the time, 80% of the time on his mobile phone. Giving time. If he has to buy something, he buys it after looking at the mobile phone. If he has to go somewhere, he takes the decision of going somewhere through his mobile phone. If he has to apply for a job somewhere, he is taking the help of mobile phone for that. That means, brother, man's world is moving 80-90% towards mobile phones. So today if we are thinking of doing something then why are we going after things which are different from the world of mobile phones. What will you do after doing MCA brother? You will wander from door to door with your resume, this company, that company, that company and the companies will say no, we do not have work worthy of you, instead look for work in those places, do not carve out that thing which can make worthy of being useful to them. Learn something like this. Look, if there is a demand for something and you become the one who fulfils that demand, then jobs will come lining up for you. Brother, you will again choose whether you have to do this, this or this. And today I am going to talk about five skills, so you do n't even need to wander around for a job. One can earn money even while sitting at home. Earn money sitting at home or do a job or do anything brother. Earning money is the main purpose. Money can be earned if these skills are learned. Ok? Did I beat around the bush? I was able to explain it, okay I was able to explain it brother, let's now talk about the first skill, told you, the first skill is video editing and content production, today if you observe properly, the bigger the companies, the bigger the companies, which company will you take, if it is a tech company then leave Google Meta all this, so let's take the example of the tech company or whose other example will you take brother? Take the example of a watch manufacturing company. Take the example of a coat manufacturing company. Take the example of a shoe manufacturing company. Take the example of a shoe manufacturing company. Videos are being made for every company. Some company wants to sell shoes. She is making a video of the shoe. The number one shoe is being shown in different ways. How strong is the shoe by sponging from bottom to top, jumping and fanning. How is that shoe being marketed? By making a video. Think about it. In the that shoe being marketed? By making a video. Think about it. In the time of 1999, 2001, 2002, marketing was done by making videos in this way, made and shown, well, look at the content creators today brother, everyone wants to become a content creator today, look at the teachers, those teachers who were dependent on putting up posters to bring students and teach them, they all have shifted to YouTube, have shifted online, videos are being made there too, I want to explain to you that today whether it is a big company, today whether it is a content creator, today whether it is a teacher, today whether it is a new person who wants to earn money, he is also coming towards videos. This means that the demand for videos has increased everywhere. Everyone wants videos, there is a requirement for videos. So you become a video maker or if you don't want to become a video maker then become a video editor. Because if the demand for video has increased so rapidly and will increase further in the future, then everyone will want video. In the coming times, the barber in your neighborhood who cuts hair has come on video. He will now make a video of hair cutting so that he can get more clients, brother. So there is already a lot of demand for videos. This will increase further in the future and every video maker needs a video editor. So when the need for video editors is so high, why aren't you learning ? Why are you so after MC and MBA brother. Now you will say where will he teach video editing ? Who will teach us? ? Where will you apply for the job? How to earn money sitting at home? Oh, it's nothing, uncle. Look, first of all do one thing, I will tell you everything. How to earn money by editing videos. First of all learn. You do n't need to go anywhere to learn. There are many good people on YouTube who have explained different tools in detail. How is each tool used? Everything is free. All you have to do is search for video editing tools on YouTube. How to do Video Editing Tutorial, Video Editing Tools ? Write all this about video editing. Many videos will come in front of you. You will have to spend time. There is no business of shortcuts. It will take time. It may take a month, 2 months, or even 3 months. But take 3 months to gain your expertise. Brother, first learn it well. What are the tools? There's Premiere Pro, there's DVI, there's Capkat, there are plenty that can be done from mobile. There are these and I do n't know how many there are in today's time. Master one tool. tool. Hey, grab a tool. Master the most. That is the most important thing. After that, once you learn video editing, you can create your own portfolio. Portfolio means create a folder on Google Drive online. Put 10-12 of your edited videos in that folder. Pick up someone like this or shoot your own. Keep its edited form in the folder of 810 videos on it. And DM or email small creators who are available on Instagram or YouTube When they see your 810 edited videos, they will get an idea about what kind of editing you do. Ok? Approach small creators and find work cheaply, brother. Not much hi-fi on the cheap. In the beginning, you can charge ₹300, ₹400, ₹500 for a video and if it is a reel etc. then edit it for less than ₹50 or ₹100. In the beginning you need expertise. In the beginning, you just need to focus on the fact that you should learn as much work as possible. Do Gather experience. DM big creators later. When you work with small creators, then in the beginning, see that big creators will not give you any importance because every big creator has his own people, you will not get a place with them, work with small ones, do it cheaply and gather experience, brother, you can do this thing even while sitting at home, well if someone has a job vacancy, he will you go for the job and do it while sitting at home, that is your choice, now how much money can be earned, from this in the beginning I say ₹300 ₹400 ₹500 also if you demand for one video, suppose you demand ₹500 also and if you are able to do one video daily, then it is 30 days. 30 * 5 = ₹15,000 ₹15,000 can be earned per month from just one creator. If you start doing this with two creators , four creators. You won't have time in the beginning. Because making just one video may take up your entire day. Because you will also be your learning continues, your expertise will increase. The task that used to take expertise will increase. The task that used to take you 5 hours on the first day will take you half an hour to complete after 2 months. So it is a 5 hour job, now you have learnt to do it in half an hour. Meaning the opportunity to work with more creators. multiplying. I may be able to say a figure of up to ₹60000 lakh here because if I say more then it will seem like I am saying too much. But the possibilities are limitless. As far as your expertise goes. Correct. Don't make a mistake brother. In the beginning, when you get work, do not suddenly start increasing your rates. In the beginning, don't run after money at all. This is the biggest mistake people make. A person who initially runs after money can never become an expert in his work. But in the beginning, if a person runs after becoming an expert in his work, then money automatically runs after becoming an expert in his work, then money automatically important. In the beginning, I gave you such a long lecture on just one thing, brother. There Yes. One more thing because when you said that don't do B.Sc., don't do B.Tech. But in this the concern of parents is very big. Do a good course, get a good job. Yes, it has come, right? It has been recorded, right? Let us go. Basically, what Ayush is saying here is a genuine concern, there is pressure from the parents as well, when the child says that he will do MCA in future, the parents will say do MCA, do MBA and the child will say no, instead of doing all that, brother, I saw a video of some Sagar Sir and I want to do all this, then there is pressure from the parents and the parents are not wrong in their place because look, the parents are not of today, they belong to the era in which they have lived and spent their youth. In those days, things were not done like they are being done today. So we will have to explain to them what today's world is? How people are earning money in today's world. It is your responsibility to convince them. Or if you want, you can avoid them for some time. Brother, listen to the meaning of avoiding. Listen from here, take it out from here and keep on with your work. Yes, when money starts coming in, every parent starts understanding that So those are the two ways. Or you can put your energy into convincing your parents. Now it is not known whether the parents agree with it or not. The second way is to keep listening to your parents and remain busy with your work. When you start getting money, you take that money and give it to your parents. There is no need to explain anything. To the parents. He will get ready immediately and he will understand everything. They need proof. Look, parents are worried that their child might go astray. My child's time should not be wasted. That is why they try to explain by scolding and according to their own experience. You prove it by earning money. His thinking will change. Ok? Could I explain? The second is performance marketing. Performance Marketing: Now in today's time, all the brands like shoe sellers, shoe selling companies, coat selling companies, shirt selling companies or any YouTube creator, they have to sell courses, sell something or the other. Selling a service to someone, selling a product to someone, that's what it is. Selling a service to someone, selling a product to someone, that's what it is. putting up posters on the road. Today it has shifted to online. Well, if a people who are passing through that road can see it. But if we start giving ads online on Instagram and Facebook, then the whole of India can see it, right? Then the sales will increase more, right? So the ads that run on Facebook YouTube, that is called performance marketing. Now you learn that performance marketing. Every person selling goods needs clients and customers. Sell ​​every item, whether it is goods or anything else. You goods or anything else. You fulfill his need. And this is such a field where the demand is so high. The supply is not being met. Because it is a new skill. It is not like this is being taught in college. Big institutes are open to teach this. Nothing is there The one who teaches is online and the one who works is not even discussed offline. It is very rare. Someone might be teaching performance marketing offline. You will find very few institutions and even those that you will find will not be known to anyone. So where will we learn all this online? Everything is free on YouTube. All this is also free. Or if you see any of your advertisements teaching performance marketing, then take its course. There might be a course of Rs 1000, 2000, 3000. So you become the one who brings clients for them. What have I written here ? What is learning? Meta Ad means Google Ad Meta Ad, Facebook Ad, Instagram Ad, Google Ad, How to create a funnel? Learn this brother. You should learn how to view analytics. There is also good meta and free certifications from Google. Get free certification. Those same people will teach you for free. Initially start running ads with a small budget of Rs 500 to Rs 1000. First of all, I would say run the ad by investing your own money. Waste some money yourself. That is necessary. It's better than wasting the client's money. Waste your own money. Once you learn it, then approach the client, brother. If you want to go on monthly retainer from every client. Monthly retainer means as a job, if you want to work with them then you can easily earn Rs 15,000, 2000, 400, 500 in this. Or if you want to take it from Kind on the basis of freelancing work, then that you want to take it from Kind on the basis of freelancing work, then that is also possible. Correct? This was performance marketing. After that, there is no end to digital selling, brother. Today in the digital world you have so many things to sell, so many things, so many things. You will get tired thinking what should I sell and what should I not sell. You just need to know how to sell and in digital selling it is not necessary that you sell by speaking. In offline selling, you have to say that I have this pen. This is the speciality of this pen. In this this happens, that happens. The client has to be closed by talking. The concern of today's youth is that they do not want to speak. Don't tell me that some work can be done sitting at home. Digital Selling: Here goods are sold without saying anything. Think about it. goods are sold without saying anything. Think about it. What were the last shoes you bought? Which was the last T-shirt you bought after seeing MNTRa's ad ? Which headphones did you buy after seeing such an online ad ? Which mobile phone did you buy? Someone or the other, somewhere or the other, after seeing the ad. That means someone or the other is showing you that ad. The ad he is showing is what he is selling to you. How to show the ad? Understanding your interest, understanding the color, running ads, creating landing pages, doing email marketing, what to write in the email and send it? What should I write at the top of my email? What to write in bold below? In which colour should it be kept so that it generates interest in reading. Digital Selling: Sell goods on Instagram, sell goods on Facebook. Do affiliate marketing brother. Affiliate marketing is a different ocean. This is the ocean, this is the ocean. Affiliate marketing means you are selling goods of a company and when the goods are sold, you get a certain commission. Nowadays, there are many companies running affiliate marketing, if you sell their courses etc., you get a good commission on it. Many companies are running. Amazon gives you its own affiliate model. Flipkart gives. You can contact different creators. Brother, I will sell your goods. Email me. How much percentage will you give me? Learn to sell by running ads. So this is called digital selling. There is no limit to how much can be earned through these. Well with that backup I talk about it many times. Sir, it is very important to make a backup of whatever money you earn. By backup I mean health insurance and term insurance. Why do I keep talking about this? Because what happens is that a person spends his entire life earning money. You have to invest in SIP, FD, money is invested here, money is invested there, the money should keep growing. But a bad incident that man never imagined. And when he comes into his life, the hard work of the last 5 years, 10 years, 20 years, one bad incident squeezes out all that hard work and eats it up. Think about it. incident squeezes out all that hard work and eats it up. Think about it. If by mistake, God forbid, an accident or a major illness occurs and you have to be admitted to the hospital, do illness occurs and you have to be admitted to the hospital, do squeeze out ₹6 lakh. 5 eight lakh ₹1 lakh In big cities no one asks brother, the bill is made like this. So to avoid that, brother, please keep a medical insurance with you. How much does it cost? It costs just ₹600-700 per month. You get a cover worth lakhs. If any kind of hospitalization is required, the health insurance company pays your bill. Ok ? The company cover is usually 3 to 5 lakhs, so what did I say? Company is good, yes some people live under this illusion that if they are working then they n't rely on it because as soon as you leave the company or the job, that insurance ends and that insurance is also small, of ₹3 to ₹100,000 and today you know brother, you don't get a bill of ₹500,000 in the hospital, the case is not settled below ₹10-150,000 in the hospital and your own policy is cheap and easily available in youth. If the age is lower, more policy options are available. You get more features. I get less money. As your age increases, the policy will become more expensive for you and nowadays even advance health insurance has come into existence. Features like maternity are also added. Meaning pregnancy is also covered. It does n't even cost any money. The n't even cost any money. The insurance company also pays for that. Hospitalization before 60 days and after 90 days is also covered under this scheme. And after that I say that along with health insurance you should also take term insurance. The role of term insurance is that when the earning member is no more, then the survival of the family should not be in danger after his death. The EMI that the family is running, the education of the child, the medical expenses of the parents, whatever expenses are there to live life, one does medical expenses of the parents, whatever expenses are there to live life, one does term insurance, by paying only ₹700 per month, one gets term insurance worth crores, it works as a backup for the family. provides the biggest cover at the lowest premium. term insurance. Ok? ₹600 ₹700 per month as I told you. You think health insurance is a waste of money, right? Tomorrow, when you will have to pay a hospital bill worth lakhs, then there will be real wastage of money. Let's talk. then there will be real wastage of money. Let's talk. 1 Crore health insurance starts at just ₹550 per month on Policybazaar. Well, to buy this, we have given the customized link in the description.

Look, if someone says that AI is the technology of the future, then it becomes an old thing. If someone had said two years ago that it was a thing of the future, it would have been fine. Today it has become present. Today you might have heard the news that Oracle has fired so many thousand people. Big companies like Meta, Amazon are laying off people. Do you know why? Because now the work of 10 people or 100 people is being done by one AI tool. So why would the company pay salary to those 100 people? being thrown out and having that one AI tool do the work. So I am saying that brother, if you are not getting a job or will not get one in the future or you are also planning to do MCA, MBA, then your you are also planning to do MCA, MBA, then your future will become very worrying. Therefore, it is more important to learn this rather than going for a degree. Look, I don't have a degree, what can I say? Some people will come to write in the comment box. Hey, you don't know the value of MBA, MCA. It's an old thing, sir. It is not useful to everyone. Degrees of 99% of the people are of no use to anyone but this is useful to everyone.

Who is Aman Gupta ? You will know. These are all the famous faces by whose names their companies are known. Now being a famous face means that wherever they go, wherever they show their face, the marketing of their company gets done automatically. This is called personal branding. Meaning your face has become your brand. Your name has become your brand. Just talk about content creators like this, brother. Content creators are known by their names. Content creators are known by their names. If you are a very good graphic designer then people should know you by your name rather than your face. You are a very good video editor.

Similarly, the more hard work you put in, the more money you will make. hard work you put in, the more money you will make.
