## Transcript

Imagine earning your first 10,000 to 1,00,000 rupees without waiting for a degree or a government exam. Not because you were given money, but it was because of something which you created and someone looked at you and asked,
How much do you charge? ये feeling कुछ और ही है, because that's how my journey started too.
इस वीडियो में मैं आपको 5 solid proven techniques बताने वाला हूँ in which you can earn up to 10,000 to 1,00,000 rupees easily within the next 2 months So hi guys, I'm Dr. Yoakish Arul working at GD Pannadji
which is India's best government hospital and my side hustle started during my residency days which is around 3 and a half years back because I wanted money To be honest, हम सब कोई healthy life चाहिए We all want to give back things to our parents
बद वो सब के लिए फैसा चाहिए And that's when I started thinking other than being a doctor what more extra can I do to start getting money? The first thing on my list is script writing and to be honest that's how my journey started.
When I saw people making content on Instagram and YouTube, I started my journey as a script writer. I started making scripts for a lot of creators and a lot of creators started liking it. और वोस्थ में एक पोषा की, why not I become a creator itself?
देखो, the number of content creators in India and internationally is rising और सारे content creators को एक script writer चाहिए and even if you yourself want to become a content creator, you should start it with script writing.
अब सवाल आता है कि ले किस चीज़ने script लेको? Let's say you are a niche or a genius friend, or let's say you are a techie guy, or let's say you are into business. Whatever the niche is just find the top creators in that particular niche and write 3 to 4 sample drafts and just email them Now you might ask me how do I start writing a script Now there are 10 possible ways for this
Step 1, pick your favorite creator around 2-3 and start watching their reels. If you notice their reels, they have a particular pattern, a hook, followed by a workflow, followed by a good CTA, which is called to action.
And possibility number 2, you can take the help of AI, Chad Gippity and Claudia. You can just combine your favorite creator's script, just transcript them, put it into Claudio and try to learn the pattern. By doing this, you won't even know when your side hustle will turn into a main hustle.
For example, look at Dr. Cardell. She started her content creation during the time of India. Right now, she is not practicing medicine, but she is thriving in other aspects of her career. Because right now, she is generating lakhs of income every month, which her medical career
could never do. So I'm not telling everyone to leave your main career, but building a side hustle is very important. Second on the list is skilled videography. Now you'll have a question in your mind that for this I need a good camera, a good phone.
No. To be honest, the first videographer which I had, he just had a phone which cost for 10,000 rupees. And he used to make crazy videos out of that. Because videography is all about framing, exposure and lighting.
Now the question is how you can earn money through this. Option number one, you can start doing freelance shoots for big brands and content creators. To do this, you just need to work with 2-3 brands or 2-3 creators and offer them free shooting.
And if your work is good, you can just use them as a portfolio. Step number two, I'll give you something very easier. Around your house, there must be a lot of weddings that are going on. Just go to any random wedding and start shooting their videos.
Post them all on Instagram. if you post at least 10 videos and if your video quality is good and if your video is emotional, at least one of them will go viral. Because right now wedding videographers have actually become a thing And today couples don need videos or photos They just want reels And this has become a high generating income business
Option number 3 is you can make UGC content. You can make product reviews. You can make brand reviews. Or you can even do unboxing videos. And all these videos can be sold back to the brand.
And there are many websites where you can upload your UGC content and if the brand actually likes your style, they might pay you huge funds. Next on the list is Meta Ads. This is a very underrated and under explored area.
Now let's understand what is Meta Ads actually. Meta is the company which owns both Instagram and Facebook. And while scrolling to Instagram or Facebook, you see a lot of ads. So how to run it? How to reach the target audience?
How to do sales? This entire process is known as Meta Ads and Performance Marketing. Let me explain a simple example. Now let's say you open a coffee shop in South Delhi. So you would want people in South Delhi to come to your shop, right?
So the best actual way, you need to have a target audience around that particular area. You cannot just randomly run ads in Gurgaon or Noida because people will not travel so far just for a coffee. And this entire process will take at least 1-2 months.
So if you are just having 1 hour per day, consume content on performance marketing and digital marketing. And once you become an expert in meta ads, then you can start reaching out to gyms, coffee shops, online creators, people who are trying to sell any product.
Aap literally disha sakte ho ki this was the product, I ran ads and I did this much of sales. And once you become an expert on this, you can just start your own agency. And next on the list is short form video editing.
Jaisa no care sa ki video editing market is super saturated. No, it's not. To be honest, every content creator, every brand and even every online campaign requires a specific editing pattern.
Now, to understand this, you need to understand three important things. First is understanding the video flow Every video has a flow a pattern and you need to understand that in depth Next one is you need to understand editing software like Premiere Pro or Tile
और टॉपटोंर फोटो करेंगे, आप YouTube से पिछली वीडियोज हैं। अपने आपकी माद्यविक विषय सीवित्वप्रत का तोषण की मॉसिंग और असंधान क्राफिक जाता है। आपकी भी क्वेश्चों या फैल्टूर आर्ट दिखा रहे हैं। And last on the list, it's communication.
आप खोचते होंगे मत की, संझने के कमारण जो हासिल होगी? लिख करो मेरा तथा को नहीं करता है, व्यायादा में सक्लाव सिभाव अपनी दुष्पतपार यह है! शुरीकल यह में तो longevity summit and then one guy came and met me and he was like Doc, I really like the way you talk and the way you move and you articulate with people
Can you just teach me how to do that? Well, I didn't have an answer for that Because for me, मैं बच्चन से बहुत extrovert चाहिए था So I love talking to people So even if you are an introvert, practice talking Look in the mirror, learn to maintain an eye contact and talk confidently with people
Because when you start communicating well, all the other opportunities start landing in your pocket. Because when I appeared for the longevity summit in Mumbai, after which, right now, I am working with scientists all throughout the world.
I am working with numerous brands on numerous projects. Why? Because my communication was good. And the fastest way to earn money through being a good communicator is by being a social media manager or a good assistant.
Because आज से लेकिन almost every content creator or every businessman needs a good personal assistant. So if you are able to manage things, arrange things, communicate well, trust me, you will get a good pay at that instant.
