Pretty much as above. Am Mortgage free, no income as I will be a stay at home dad as of Jan, 34 years of age, wife will be earning more than enough to cover all domestic expenses.
Ideally it will be something I can do from home.
Thanks.
You could dig into the generative AI stuff. Custom chat bots and LORAs, prompt engineering. It’s still pretty early in the cycle, so you could position yourself nicely.
Buy a MIG or TIG welder. Watch some YouTube videos. Hone your skill. Take a class at a community college if you need additional instruction. Weld art if you have that inclination or fences/structures if you want to go that route. Lots of ways to make money from home with this trade. Add in a cnc plasma cutter and fabricate parts, signs, or whatever. You’ll need a covered space and electricity.
I’m curious what you could weld at home to make money. My dad was a welder and he mostly build farm equipment. He had a shop at our house but most of his work was done elsewhere. This was about 40 years ago so things have probably changed.
You made it…🥳🥳
How’d u pay off your mortgage so fast?!?!?
It depends on what skills you already have.
£2k to learn a marketable skill from scratch doesn’t sound like much but £2k to develop skills you already have could be more than enough.
Excellent question
You mentioned in another comment that you did sales. What sort? Could you not learn the business that was?
I would take the time to learn coding and specifically, artificial intelligence. I would use the 10K to invest in making the site and training an AI. Since that’s where the world is heading right now, it makes most sense to me.
I would learn Copywriting skills, marketing skills , then start e-commerce. Outsourcing any other aspect like coding and graphic design. Then hire someone to build content and backlinks. If it’s season for your products spend money on ads as well.
I started an online bookkeeping business, pretty successful but I hate bookkeeping so it’s miserable 😅 I’m now getting some traction with programming/trading/dropshipping which I love. Maybe worth looking into? Good luck
I’d invest $12 in a coding bootcamp and build my own apps.
Coding boot camp is such a waste. YouTube is better for that lol
I can’t hear you over my 6 figure income.
Lol that purely came from coding boot camp? 💀
Gave me the street cred to land my current job 🤷
I will use it to do what I am good at and learn some courses about investment.
Learn to develop in php and Wordpress and be ab business consultant helping ppl develop their llc and website
I’d take a job and learn skills that way. I’d be getting paid to learn. In fact, that’s what I did.
I’m curious what skill you learned by working. What were you paid to work on?
I learnt programming. Some friends from uni learnt accounting. Non-uni friends learnt trades like electrician, plumbing, etc. Most people I know learnt their skills at their jobs.
Even people who started jibs at the bottom learnt skills at work and got sent on training courses to enhance their skills.
The “do it from home” type of skills are much harder to get traction on than you think. Open an LLC, set up a google my biz, Get a power washer and start asking neighbors if you can power wash their driveways for Google reviews. Then just do power washing.
If you’re adamantly pursuing the “do it at home” route, pick anything and be your own first case study. Use that case study as a sales asset to get clients, then generate more case studies. Publicly document what you learn and your results on LinkedIn or Twitter. Then network with other new online entrepreneurs to support each other.
