I just want to work for myself and make enough money to at least maintain my standard of living in the long run. Where do I start?

The easiest way is to have a valuable skillset (sales skills, interpersonal skills, technical skills). Then find a product/service to offer that maximizes the value you can capture over a longer period of time.

Too many people are just trying to get a higher income in a short period of time but that usually is just glorified wagecucking and they never end up building a scalable business model.

No -- the real money is made making the meme coin, not being part of the bottom rung of the pyramid scheme -- but at most you will get away with a few million dollars and you probably don't have the marketing & programming skills to accomplish that, especially in the current bear market.

Could you please give me a simple easy to follow guide on how to get filthy rich quick. I have no connections, skills or startup capital. I don't want to work hard. And I don't want to do anything too uncomfortable.

Also please make it not too long. Under 100 words plz. Just a simple trick to make 100 million dollars with little effort in the next year or so.

No. That's why I haven't made my own meme coin. Go scour top CS programs for talented Freshman/Sophomores before they are getting paid $100+/hr as programmers for FAGMAN if you want to find business partners.

Stay long in crypto, confident fag. If you're smart enough, you'll be targeting the bottom so that you can ape in ahead of the next bull run. I'm currently hodling 80% of my total funds in sUSDC, while trading 20% from the spot and trading NFTs on Stashh

I mean the meme coin part is pretty easy. Basically just copy the contract from github repository. If you don't integrate staking and all that you can do it in under an hour.

Though you need connection to a lot of telegram group owners or some rather sophisticated bot network for it to catch on.

Was looking into it though thought it's a soulless thing to spend my time on to look further into it

>filthy rich quick
It doesn't usually work like that. It takes a long-time to build a reputation unless you can piggyback off of an already successful team or have a product/service that has a short feedback loop such that you can scale a business extremely quickly -- think Facebook.

I would suggest working on your social skills -- technical skills aren't really required in putting together a business -- obviously, they help but often you can find a partner to handle the technical aspects of whatever you are doing. There is no shortage of educated people that have domain knowledge of a particular field.

There is a shortage of people with business sense & leadership skills required to build a successful business. It's not necessarily hard to do so -- but it requires a high level of commitment and a longer time horizon.

I think the most important thing you can do is to figure out what industry you want to work in. It will be a lot easier to keep committed to whatever you are doing if you have a genuine interest in it and don't have to force yourself to get out of bed every morning.

After that, you can focus on finding a differentiated product/service that will allow you to build a great business. That's when it will start to matter whether you are focused for 80+ hours a week or slacking for 40 hours a week -- although the required time commitment will also vary depending on the industry you choose to get into.
