I did a handful of 25k per day consulting digs for friends of friends over a decade ago, I did it as a favor because I was making hundreds of thousands a month sitting in the comfort of my own office and the thing that stands out at that level is if you're that good, build your own shit. I do see that AI used correctly for smaller businesses could be a great income generator for younger people starting out trying to get to that first 10k a month in clients but AI is eliminating tens of thousands a month for me in human rolls like full web development, split testing, creatives and so on so don't you think at this point, they would be better off duplicating a working business model with AI and running thier own? Consulting is so feast and famine, mostly famine.

There's a $50k/month opportunity hiding in plain sight for direct response copywriters right now: becoming a Conversion Pathologist. Most businesses have a sales page that sort of works. Conversion's at 1-2%. They don't know why it's not 4%. The job: spend 3 days inside the business. Read 100 customer support tickets. Watch 20 sales calls. Walk the buyer journey yourself. Then rewrite ONE asset, usually the headline + first 200 words, based on what you actually heard. I've watched specialists in this exact role bill $15-25k per engagement. Three engagements a month and you're past $50k. Most copywriters skip the diagnosis and go straight to the prescription. That's why they get treated like a vendor.

@Manu_Sisti claude

I’m convinced: Claude is the most powerful AI tool for making money right now. If you use it to create digital assets today, you could make an extra $10,000/month. I compiled the exact prompts I use into a 53-page PDF. Usually, I'd charge $199 for this, but today I'm giving it away 100% FREE Like + comment 'Claude' & I'll DM it to you Must follow me to get DM. ⏳ Taking this down in 24 hours.

Exactly, the adjusted take home wage vs what I made has basically doubled while costs of food, housing, entertainment etc have all more than tripled or quadripled. I was basically breaking even with a couple hundred left over a month to save but I was going out a couple nights a week for dollar drafts, dinner dates etc. Today you'd be negative $1000 a month to live the same lifestyle I did with zero going out. Negative $1500 if you want to go out for a couple meals and drinks and a month with a date.

@nevarc @Jan6Fun @WallStreetApes Absolutey can affirm this. Me too. 25 years ago I had a 2/1 two blocks from the beach for $450. I worked maybe 35 hrs a week AT THE MALL. Ins & pension. In college. That same apt is I think $1800 now. I know my mall wage did not increase that much in 25 yrs.

Young Americans are losing it and having mental breakdowns because they just can’t afford to live “I'm f*cking stressed out. I'm f*cking stressed. We should not be working like this. I work my ass off and I can't even f*cking pay bills — All of sh*t just pointless” The cost of living in America has to come drastically down. Americans can’t afford bills, they can’t afford a home, they certainly can’t afford to start a family An estimated 70% of Gen Z struggle to pay rent, an estimated 53% of Millennials also struggle just to pay rent This is not the America we want to live in

@Dannyx6i5 @stoolpresidente "Integrity in journalism" lol

@stoolpresidente Dave, Integrity in journalism has to matter a little bit, even in today's world.

If we’re just being honest this explanation really makes zero sense. I don’t think anybody should lose their job over alleged canoodling but this statement makes it seem like there was definitely canoodling happening. An innocent canoodler would prob welcome a thorough investigation to prove their innocence and exonerate themselves right? This screams guilty canoodler to me.

Everyone is lying about almost everything, no one has any political views, they change their view depending on what is popular to the crowd they want to be a part of. Exist outside the system, maximize lifestyle. Live cheap now, trailer park, rented room, a van, maximize revenue. Lie your way into better jobs, learn to use AI and other people's labor to make you money, buy back your time aka your life as quickly as possible. Paying off a decent little $150k apartment somewhere nice is near total time freedom, you can do that in 36 months working your ass off, living small. Use that base to follow your dreams. Don't create comfortable, don't create routines, create stories. Have adventures, try different jobs from firefighting to bartending, private pilot license. When you have time freedom you can afford to invest in fun shit, new training, cool experiences. Become an emt in 4 weeks, save a life, learn to fly a plane. Living a life people would tells stories about is a choice not an accident. Take your last breath which could be next month or next century knowing you did cool shit and didn't waste your life pleasing other people and sleepwalking through what could have been an awesome experience here.

I’m 22. Give me oddly specific life tips. No general ”surround yourself with positive people” tips. I want the most random, specific advice possible.

@RubinReport Jesus is the only religious historical figure ackowleged by multiple competing religions, the jews believe in him, the muslims believe in him. The muslims celebrate him, they aren't your adversary.

Guys, the simplest explanation is probably the correct one. Tucker is just retarded.

@ikabobcrane @WallStreetApes go deeper: 6 to 8 trillion dollars is collected in total fines fees and taxes. That's enough to pay everyone 18 and over 40 to 60k a year. DO YOU feel you are getting your money's worth? or could you pay your own teachers and cops and road repair?

@WallStreetApes Wakey wakey:

This post has a quarter of a million “Likes” in 48 hours Americans are losing it realizing they work more than peasants used to work “I've actually f*cking had it with the United States of America — I gotta go to work 40 sometimes 50 hours a week only to get 2 weeks of paid vacation — peasants used to get 154 days off. I'm not even treated like a f*cking peasant” “I can't f*cking do this shit anymore. And all while this shit is happening, they're f*cking constantly attacking your psychological — y'all just kicking me when I'm f*cking down. I can't go anywhere because they f*cking hate us — while a ruling class of Satan-worshipping, baby-eating pedophiles comes for my f*cking kids every way, or form B*tch. Taxes, fees, fees, taxes, tolls, taxes, check engine light, taxes, tickets, taxes, pedophiles, taxes, taxes, taxes, taxes. B*tch, I'm done” For reference: 2500 B.C. The Pharaoh took 20% of the slaves’ harvest. 2025 A.D. The government takes 35–60% of your income through income tax, FICA, sales tax, property tax, gas tax, inflation, and fees.

@WallStreetApes No one says the real issue: 6 to 8 trillion dollars is collected in total fines fees and taxes. That's enough to pay everyone 18 and over 40 to 60k a year. DO YOU feel you are getting your money's worth? or could you pay your own teachers and cops and road repair?

@BridgetPhetasy No one has any actual political beliefs, that's why I've never voted. You're against war until the people you voted for want war, you're against government overreach in people's lives until it's your side doing it. You're against waste until it's your side wasting it.

Trump understands more than anyone a deep truth: everyone EVERYONE is full of shit.

Not really, freemasonry was at the time of it's founding the intelligent way to draw in the smartest and most effective people. Technology and intelligence programs made identifying those individuals much easier than a tiered system of trials and tests like the ancient priesthoods and mystery schools it modeled. Then, smartly freemasonry essentially used it's lowest public levels as a mirage to protect the high levels: "your uncle bob is a freemason and does charity drives for the childrens hospital on weekends, it's just a guys club"

Asked directly about Skull and Bones on national television, a prominent political figure responds that it is so secret he cannot talk about it - then deflects, grows visibly uncomfortable, and moves on. The number 322, the Order's identifying marker, goes unaddressed. Randall uses this moment to draw a distinction that rarely gets made in public conversation. Skull and Bones produces presidents, senators, and CIA directors, operates out of Yale University, and when asked about it on camera, its members visibly struggle to respond. Freemasonry, by contrast, is an organisation whose meetings are listed in local newspapers, whose members wear rings and lapel pins in public, and which has been broadly accessible for centuries. Yet it is Freemasonry that attracts the conspiracy theories, the suspicion, and the cultural blame for shadowy influence over world events. Randall's point is a simple one. The organisation whose members cannot discuss it on television is not the one people are writing books about.

@arrington Not only did I expect this, I expected it 15 years ago thanks to reading techcrunch, you guys were way off on your robots in the streets timeline.

Here's a video you never expected to watch.

You guys are completely out of touch with reality. I was born in 79, I've made millions in my career, worked full time from 13 years old under the table and the cost of living that actually matters, housing, food, healthcare, transportation is multiple times what you guys paid adjusted for inflation. My first apartment was $550 a month 25 years ago, that same shitty studio apartment in a shitty building in a shitty part of town today is $1800 a month. Wages were outpaced by inflation. It isn't the kids netflix and chai lattes guys, that's a retarded take.

Late Boomer here, we worked low pay jobs, had to have roommate's in apartments, drove sh!tty cars , didn't have cell phones, subscriptions like Netflix , no Wifi , no Starbucks , we made coffee at the apartment. Life isn't TicToc wonderful influencer laying in the beach in the Bahamas at 22 years old . Its work , drudgery , with a few fun days thru the year. Get off Social Media you will feel better

@BridgetPhetasy I honestly believe people that say the earth is flat and we don't go to space are probably smarter. They might be wrong, but I'd rather hang out with them, they'll be more right overall by not believing anything the government says about anything.

THEY WERE JUST CIRCLING AROUND THE FRIGGING MOON

@MartinShkreli it's like when other entrepreneurs brag they haven't ever been sued.... you didn't scale hard enough bro, we aren't the same.

as time, wealth and importance approaches infinity your likelihood of being convicted of a crime approaches 1

@Sassbass77 @BellaBaddie__ All mental diagnosis is hypothesis disguised as expertise. Is it possible you have a mental disorder? yes, it's also possible to get diagnosed with anything from autism to bipolar if you answer a questionaire a certain way. I'd try a lot before letting a survey tell me its over.

@nevarc @BellaBaddie__ I must be that 20% then. Diagnosed with CPTSD.

Without medication, what's the best thing against anxiety and depression?

@Sassbass77 @BellaBaddie__ I know. Only 20% is medical or due to a recent event, breakup, death etc. Your body/mind/soul are bored, it seeks purpose, connection. Your muscles need to be used, your brain, your spirit. Most people are rotting too much of the day, day after day and wonder why they feel empty

@nevarc @BellaBaddie__ What? You think someone who is anxious is bored?

@copper_car18532 @BellaBaddie__ The point is too much downtime, not a roofers financial outlook. If you work your body and your mind, use your downtime wisely, friends, romance, purpose/charity, you find anxiety and depression vanishes in most people. It's the doom scrolling, the netflix binges, the bed rotting

@nevarc @BellaBaddie__ Key point” has on work days…” Like while doing work sure fair point. After work and the pain sets in, the no retirement or Benefits reality Insurance companies not paying anymore, margins are nothing with costs and your own insurance is insane. Yea just chillin

The current state of AI is the ADHD & underachievers dream. Millions of should have been millionaires finally have access to the side of their brain that doesn't work: organization & rapid deployment of systems to now match their innate ability to see & understand opportunity.
