How do I make money online
No survey bullshit
>>985908
Where do you live?
>>985908
You really think anybody who knows how to make money online whether it's trading or some kind ofa business, will publically tell how they do it?
I mean if somebody tells on an online forum how they are beating the market and excactly they trade, you should be able to figure out they are not really winners. Nobody who beats the game tells how they do it. They might give you general advices and buying tips but they never reveal how they come to that specific conclusion.
create a website that generates traffic and sell advertising space.
also which countries would be safe so that enterprising people like myself don't get genocided?
>>985855
Buy stock in companies with government contracts to produce weaponry.
Switzerland is historically the safest country when it comes down to war.
>>985855
Get in contact with George Soros
>>985855
Invest in Nuke stocks.
They're bound to rise at least 400% when WW3 breaks out.
>there are people who literally invested in energy over the past year
How does it feel knowing the ride will never end?
At least they have money to invest. Show us your portfolio Mr NEET
>>985738
I invest in petaflops, where's the difference? I literally invested in the right to move a couple electrons around. Yet it's profitable. I think we live in amazing times.
>>985738
The road goes on forever and the party never ends.
Is it just me or is real estate by far the best reliable way to grow net assets?
Let's say we have 20k to invest
In the stock market you could expect maybe 10% a year. After a year your net worth goes from 20k to 22k.
If you invested in Real estate...
-Get a 200k apartment with a 20k downpayment, 180k loan
-Pay about 5% interest over 30 years
-Pay about 900 a month, about half of which is interest
-Rent the apartment for 1.5k a month, and lets say 1.5k renting expenses each year
You pay about 5400 a year in interest, you get about...

I'll make it quick.
>accepted to Penn State (the real campus) back in August after being NEET for 2.5 years
>defer to spring semester because it was extremely short notice
>spring semester starts next month
>receive room and bill tonight
>$14,072 for only the spring semester
>they didn't accept my sweet ~$2,500 in financial aid because I applied too late
>didn't get single room and roommate is asian normalfag, sent an email explaining how i'm very uncomfortable with this
>planned on majoring in electrical engineering, realizing that my math skills at least right now are fairly lame to what they used to be and have been placed in their College Algebra class and will have to take two semesters of maths before I can actually take Calculus 1
on the bright side
>grandma basically agreed to pay for the entire thing for at least a couple of years ONLY if it's this exact university and I go for this spring as she will otherwise give it to the next grandson on the list that wants the freedom of debt
>have been a NEET for 2.5 years so far, was accepted by sort of crafty means that I won't go into(i am a white male and have no money), have GED, basically should not have actually been accepted and sort of lucky
Would I be an idiot to not just do it? I've already spent the ENTIRETY of 2015 researching universities, telling my mother that I'm going to university any month now(planned on attending a community college on a quarter system out of state just so that I could move out, planned on using loans but was not eligible and plan fell apart). This is really my chance if I ever had one, but am I being delusional on whether or not this is actually a good idea? I would hopefully be given some financial aid next semester to bring down the cost to maybe ~$9,000 a semester. I really have no idea.
If you can get high grades\SAT scores then you might be able to get enough scholarships that you will be paid to go, so that would almost definitely be worth it.
I'd kill to go to Penn
>>985498
Could I ask why?
>>985497
I've thought about that, but my grandmother wants to see exactly what the cost is from the university, and sure I could photoshop in 15K instead of 14K and pocket a nice $1,000 but I'm already glad she agreed to pay at all and she's not too happy about the price as it is and wants me to get some financial aid ASAP.
Test in 6 hours and I can't sleep
>>985481
good luck
Good luck man. I took Level II last June and I only got about ~5 hours of sleep the night before because I too couldn't sleep.
I ended up passing easily.
>>985487
Jelly
Level 1 today. If I fail at least I have 6 months of purely review until June exam
Hi /biz/, I have a few thousand bucks to invest and was thinking about building some niche websites. Is this still a good strategy to make money online?
What's the best way to monetize these puppies: AdSense, Amazon Associates program, others? What are the best current tools for finding niches and keywords with good potential?
>>985411
Sauce on pic OP?
>>985411
Yes it can be profitable, affiliate selling or drop selling is highest margin unless you want to produce something (goods or information to be monetized), ads will probably not be worth it unless you have a lot of visitors but still worth putting in.
Hai /biz/

what do you guys think about working too much and not having enough time to spend on hobbies and things you would like to do?
>>985251
That's why I'll never take salaried job.
Unless the job was directly related to my hobbies or interests.
>>985251
I think it sucks, but all my friends are broke as fuck and won't own their house until 60 (my parents are literally 60 and don't own their house, my exgf's parents are ~65 and just finished paying off their house. Neither own good houses).
Fuck MA.
>>985251
Too bad making money IS my hobby. And my hobbies are my job.

Buy US / AAA EU bonds if you want to do it the easy way
>>985161
Go buy oil, US notes, or even coffee. These are all local exports in argentina. I am not suggesting buying the physical but you could.
>>985161
Can you buy stocks listed on US exchanges in Argentina?
Oh boy here is comes... TECHNICAL ANALYSIS.

>how much learning did you do before you trusted your skills enough to apply them?

does anyone know a specific place where a person could find webinars, videos, etc starting from the beginning and where to start? youtube seems to have some but they are either black and white powerpoint slides or not long or in depth enough.

>Is it best to drop video games all together?
Yes.
For every successful videogaymer there's a million NEETs for whom videogaymes have ruined their social skills, school life, romantic relationships and work.
It's just a bad use of time even if you don't get addicted. You'd be much better off just spending it finding an interest in something productive. Many ex-videogaymers found programming, reading or games like Chess to be a way to have leisure...

sometimes u just need to go on a homicide spree to relieve stress and its better to do that in a videogame
>>985065
kinda.
Anything more than 1 - 2 hours per day and I think gaming can fuck up your career aspirations.
Does anyone else feel like a massive failure due to not making shitloads of money from the internet or technology? I'm 23 and learning programming now, but I feel like I'm missing on a goldrush.
Every other industry feels shit and mature. You have a choice between being a capital owning person (due to the lower initial capital investments / qualifications required) in internet/ tech.... or wageslavery in banking / oil and gas / law... the so-called big money industries!
I don't even millionaire desu. Every month that goes by without a few cheeky...

I'm 23, and I'm semi-passively raking in a shitload of money off the internet. but it's risky and stressful business to say the least. (i've learned to deal with the stress tho)
>>984820
Care to expand?
>>984812
I am the exact same way as you OP. I spend all my free time learning programming over the last year. I am 23 and I feel like I am miles behind the other guys who have been coding since they were 12.
Trust me this industry is rapidly maturing also. But I feel like the next "upcoming" thing is going to be 3D printing. The 3D printing software market is untouched.
Take my word. Whom ever combines their skill with software into to the world of 3D printing will be rich beyond his wildest dreams.
Hey /biz/,
In want of a sticky, perhaps a few anons with notable credentials or accomplishments could provide their essential book/documentary recommendations for the rest of the board to benefit from.
Moreover, it would be helpful if we could collate common pitfalls/misconceptions and recommend more stable alternatives.
If we can accomplish something like a skeleton of a sticky, then perhaps some mods can further refine your recommendations and get a work-in-progress sticky started.
Like the CS Mathematics thread on 8ch, this can be accomplished if just one knowledgeable anon comes along and gives some solid advice.
Subjects discussed here besides meme stock exchange shit are too varied.
>>984686
>common pitfalls/misconceptions
belief: you can make it.
truth: you probably won't.
alternative: settle down.
>>984687
The idea is to get a few knowledgeable people involved that can give advice in their own areas of interests.
If one or two people show up with high quality posts, we at least have a meme-infographic to post regularly. for noobs This will hopefully lead to a few focused threads that can involve people with the same pursuits. Look at /g/ with its several generals; the board may be full of shitposting, but within the generals you will often find a few people that are actually working on projects and giving advice...

I just sold my company, and it turns out I love selling but hate running a business.
What sales positions should be at the top of my reach?
Also interested in products and industries that will make big waves in the future and need educated salesmen.
What should I sell to get good commission?
Looking at cars/vehicles or maybe boats. What else?
Real estate
Insurance
Payroll
Merchant services
Solar products
>>984487
Thanks man, I only have an associates degree, so my understanding is that servixe sales (payroll, insurance) will walk me. I might just use them as interview practice and do some big dick swinging.
I've got a friend who has made a killing in solar upgrades recently, that kind of thing is exactly what I am looking for.
>>984397
I'm the namefaggot that sells timeshare and does the sales threads. Best in my industry take home around $500k a year.
