If you do can you say what you do . How you started it? Do you enjoy your business? Is it saturated? How much you spend on ads? How much revenue/profit you make? Is it an online business? Would it be hard for someone to replicate? How much does social media effect your business?

    Earning over £5,000 a month involves a mix of factors. I recommend diversifying your income streams, exploring online business opportunities, and optimizing social media for growth. The key is consistency, adaptability, and smart investment in advertising to reach your target audience.

    Yes. I started in affiliate marketing and slowly climbed the ladder, i actually moved to China which fast-tracked my career, i ended up as COO which is where i really started to earn. sold 1 company, advised on a 2nd merger, joined a 3rd company as COO and sold that one. Yes it was saturated, it was hard work, long hours, lots of networking, lots of diplomacy, lots of pitching. we didnt spend on ads, but we had lots of networking, its would be easy to replicate since its an ad agency, at the time we were pulling around 8mil a year something like that, but our team was like 60+, so it was a reasonable sum, but net it was breakeven basically.

    Mobile detailing started with about 3k. Very saturated but there’s ways to stand out. Around 1k a month on ads. Not online. Harder now then when I started to duplicate. Social media is new to the business but hasn’t helped yet

        Yessir I do. It was my primary focus when I started as I figured the higher end clients will want someone with a good online presence more than just someone that their friends know. I am currently at 83 5 star reviews. Looking now at social media and or seo focus for marketing. I’m 23 and this is what I hope will teach me to scale larger business in the future or cash flow my next step

    I make my money from investments these days. Invested from my day job and side hustles over the years. Here’s what I did…

    https://sideprofit.net/my-solopreneur-projects-over-the-last-20-years/

    I woukd suggest experimenting to see what works for you. Different things work for different people.

    Property is usually a pretty solid earner but now is probably the worse time to buy unless you can find a bargain. In the next year or two there should be lots of great deals.

    Crypto bull market starting. Massive opportunities over the next 2 years. Don’t invest more than you can afford to do. Don’t do leverage. Don’t buy and hold shit coins. Take profits instead of getting greedy. A small percentage of net worth invested in crypto is a no brainer for me. It’s now a larger percentage though.

    Yes.

    If you do can you say what you do - I offer contract web development services at the rate of $3k/month

    How you started it? - I am a professional web dev so my friends know it, one of my friend referred me to his uncle living abroad who wanted a custom video course app built, so I started on contract basis and then got more referrals.

    Do you enjoy your business? - Yes.

    Is it saturated? - Yes, a lot.

    How much you spend on ads? - Nothing

        I am already a professional web developer so I knew the skill, it all started with my friend asking me to build a web app for his uncle.

        Currently it’s word of mouth and referrals, so I’m still figuring out how to build a good pipeline to acquire more clients consistently and scale from there.

      I’m so sad web development is so saturated right now, I specialized in it thinking it would be good, now everyone is doing it, it’s horrible. I think entrepreneurship is a lot about luck

    I started an insurance agency. Made about $10k my first year and $30k my 2nd year.

    I actually reinvest quite a bit into my business. I only need about $100k so when I start to make more than that I typically hire another employee. 12 years in now and I gross about $40k per month but I take home about $10k after taxes. I try to work sparingly now.

    I do around 5K Euro a month, so close to that. I’m a software engineer. Would love to start something completely mine, but consulting/contracting keeps food on the table, pays all the bills, enough to travel and save for retirement.

    Content Creator started with $0 and it’s very saturated, but like any field only the passionate and hard working will survive. You can make a faceless TikTok page and profit $10k a month with just a few hours a week of work. I have a few money printing pages

    $10-15k/mo. That’s at about 20 hours per week billable. I do cybersecurity consulting. I enjoy what I do. This next year I’m planning to adjust some contracts at renewal that should push my income higher. I’m also working on releasing a library of materials, some for free and some with a subscription to create some passive income as well. Also next year, I expect to have sub contractors helping with some of the service delivery to drive income higher without purely trading hours for dollars.
