[00:01] and if these are not there in my life then I am absolutely zero. But at the same time, if I get my mobile and laptop back, then there are five such skills using which I can make good money again in 2026. And there are still

[00:14] 8 months left for 2026 to end. That means that if you start following any one of these five skills now, you will I divide these skills into three factors. Risk, time and investment,

[00:27] how much investment will be required to do it , how much risk will be there and in how much time will you get one is going to fool you that after watching this video you will become rich overnight or you will start earning money today itself. If you are

[00:39] app, website or some trick, then leave them. But if you and you want to earn, new to the channel, please subscribe. Please like the video. Likes target is

[00:52] with trading. I put this at number five. Now trading is such a thing that if you earn $1000, $00, even $1 lakh to $1 million in a minute, many such people in Pakistan who, when they come into trading,

[01:07] see the flashy life of people and invest in trading by selling their house, car, bike and who knows what else and this is the biggest mistake. Now the talk about time, how much time does it take ? How long does it take to make your first money

[01:19] ? Look, in this you can make a lot of money in a very short time and in the same short time you can lose a lot of money. So I would tell you that at least you should learn for 6 months and after learning,

[01:31] start slowly. But if you suddenly invest all your money in it without learning anything, just after watching some flashy videos, then you will also get affected. Now let's talk about how much investment will be required. Look, if you think that your life will change after investing 10, 20, 30, 400, then you are wrong and the

[01:43] person who is telling you this is cheating you and yes, as far as $5000 is concerned, with this you can play slowly [music], you can learn, by the time you will get can learn, by the time you will get

[01:55] patience, it is okay, but nothing will happen now number four comes to us, e-commerce, e-commerce is such a thing that when I started it in 2023, I I had invested almost ₹8 lakhs and the time it took me was almost one to one and a

[02:10] not work that quickly. Let me tell you the reason, because I am an influencer, so of my product, I had a lot of followers. So I didn't run any paid ads. So I uploaded just one or two videos which gave me a lot of sales and all those

[02:24] sales were organic. Meaning I didn't have to pay for any aids. So my profit was very high. And the second reason was that I had brought that product exclusively to Pakistan. Meaning others did not have it.

[02:36] kept the double margin in it. If we talk genuinely about e-commerce, then you should have at least And apart from that, if we talk about how much time it will take to do it, then keep at least 3

[02:48] gradually becomes stable. It does not boom on day one and whether it is understood or not. And as far as risk is concerned, the risk is always low in this. If you do it the right way. Let's say you want to test a product. You should not

[03:01] buy inventory. You can simply either use AI or grab a piece of it, grab a unit and make videos of it. Put it on TikTok, put it on Instagram. Test it. And you are getting orders on it and it is running slowly, then

[03:14] take inventory accordingly. You should never keep inventory worth Rs 5, 10, 15 lakhs. So then, if you do not do it in Pakistan , but want to do dropshipping in the USA, then for that also you should have an ad budget of only Rs 3 to 5 lakh, which is $000 to

[03:28] $2,000, and you spend this money only on testing, at least $000, after that you come to know whether this product will work or not. So you need investment in this. I have told you about the rest of the time,

[03:42] you are lucky that you can run it quickly. If you work hard on this and regarding the risk, I have told you how to manage it. freelancing. Now freelancing takes up a little more of your time. At least

[03:56] as I told you about e-commerce. But if we talk about investment, then you do not need any investment in it. You are not going to make any investment in this. You must have a laptop. And I hope you already have it. And yes, an

[04:10] you should tell in the comments whether you are watching this video on your mobile in freelancing, the only thing you lose is your time. The more time you spend on skills, the more you

[04:22] understand the platform, the more you try to outreach to clients, that is the only thing and if your time is only spent on that then it is going to waste. The more time you give, the sooner you can become successful in it. You can bring clients. But if you

[04:34] think that you will earn $5,000 in a day, within a week or in the first month, then you are mistaken. But here, freelancing is also such a thing that if you give time to it and work with passion, then it will become a source of stable income for you for a long time.

[04:46] then it will become a source of stable income for you for a long time. interesting thing and my favourite. Now what do you need in this? All you need is a phone with a good camera and a good idea to create content.

[04:58] And in today's time, the amount of money that is made from content creation is literally how much time do you need for this? At least you will have to work consistently for 3 months. If you copy someone, raid someone, then there are

[05:14] runs out. Otherwise you have no identity in it. But if you and your content becomes popular then literally you will be able to earn from Rs 10 lakh to Rs 50 lakh per month. This wo

[05:29] n't happen in days. This happens to very few people. But if you want to carry it for long term life time. So it's a best thing. If you are still thinking and confused about starting content creation. I will

[05:41] not do it, when will I do it? I will do it tomorrow. So if you are thinking about creating content then stop thinking and start creating and posting content. Yes, now it is not like say that you are not getting views. People don't see. When you create content, you have to

[05:54] keep one thing in mind. The reason why I am visible here today or people know me, follow me is that you have to relate with the people, with the audience through videos. I want to make them feel a little personal. And the

[06:06] second biggest reason is why should people watch your videos, your content? You have to make a point, leave a message, or interact with people in your content in your videos that makes them watch your videos.

[06:20] When you leave this reason and understand this reason, then you will become a content creator just to motivate you, let me tell you one thing that through content creation, like on my level, you can easily earn Rs 10 lakh to 50 lakh per month. As for me, I

[06:38] Now if we talk about the factors of content creation, then the first thing here is but sometimes these three months turn into three years. This is my own came into people's field or on their tongues after three years and that too because I came to know

[06:53] when I explained that reason in the videos, people started watching the videos. Because there was an unfiltered version of me. There was a little sugar fair. I could also speak Punjabi. I create honest content. Like used to expose things a little bit and give people an original

[07:08] investment, you will not have to invest any money in this. You just need to have your mobile phone. The rest must be tired from the net. As far as risk is concerned, there is no risk in this. Ok? Simply you have to give time and come into the market with your idea

[07:20] and you don't even understand it. Now number one comes digital product selling also works. Either you have to do this in Pakistan or outside Pakistan. But this thing is connected, linked to content creation. Let me tell you how.

[07:32] Look, you have created a digital product, be it your e-book, a guide, Shopperfy templates, some templates for anything, or a course. You have to create it once and sell it again and again, meaning

[07:44] days, five days on one thing. You have created a product, now you have to sell it. There will be two ways of selling it, one will be paid marketing and the other will be organic marketing. So, if you are a content creator already and you have followers of the niche for which you are

[07:57] creating the digital product, that means you can promote it for free and sell it risk in this, then that too will be low. Except if you work within your niche. lately you are a food blogger or you have started food blogging. You have got good

[08:10] followers. So now you cannot say that I will teach people trading. So make a PDF guide for it or create a website for it, the investment in it will be minimal. You will have to buy some tools. But now when it comes to

[08:22] selling it or getting conversion from it, you can never get that conversion because the people you have are from the food niche. So now I hope that you liked today's video and you got to learn something good and new. I have already done four of these

[08:34] Like freelancing, content creation , digital product selling, e-commerce. As far as trading is concerned, I do not do it right now because I do not have the money to

[08:49] more people working. But the your mindset clear about what you should do and which way you should go. Because most of the people I meet are still confused about this. They are stuck as to what

[09:02] they should do, what they should learn, how much time, investment and risk it will require and how these things will work. So for that reason I made this video today for all of you so that your concepts and mental matters become clear as to which side you have to go

[09:15] and how these things work. So if you liked this video then please n't done it yet, I hope you did it in the beginning itself. If you you can subscribe to me for more such content and before leaving you must tell me in the comments
