I am thinking about getting my insurance license so I can actually sell insurance myself... Is this a good idea?

Or is tech a better direction to go?

Or should I go get a job at a corporation?

Or I also have a business idea for right-wing entertainment with some interesting people who want to back it... afraid of getting myself blacklisted from the job market though.

Any fags with life experience here?

Which of these do you like the most? Then pick it and try to make it, anon. Better to spend your time doing something you enjoy that makes some money than living miserably, waiting for the two days of the week you don't have to work.

Find the real money making idea while you accumulate from your decent tier money maker you currently have. Then once youve retired at 30 you can do everything you want.

Well I have this idea to create a right-wing arts organization, and I've gotten some interest from some big names when I approached them about it.

I kind of want to go for it, but I also don't want to perma-fuck myself like so many people who do political-ish stuff do. I also don't know how profitable I could make it.

I'm a classical musician if that makes any difference, as well. But I don't make much money doing that.

>>9083873
Like the post above, I want to try out my idea...

But if I had to pick something that seemed financially stable, I'd probably go get my insurance license. I don't mind sales and from what I've read, it looks profitable

Semi-old fag here: I've failed at everything I've ever tried, so remember that my advice is more 'this is what I didn't do, and should have' less than 'this is what I did do'.

Firstly - make your top priority to learn how to manage people and learning how to be a salesman. These are the only two skills you can take into any industry, in short you need to learn either (or preferably both) - A. how to identify and get the best out of the right talent/employees, B. how to persuade people to make commitments, especially financial ones.
These two skills must be part of anything you chose, if you chose to work at a corporation: make sure it's in a managerial or non-script based sales job.

Secondly - for this right wing entertainment thing, don't do it, not because it's right wing, but because you haven't got any market information. If you don't know how profitable it will be, if all you have is "some interest when I approached them" then this doesn't sound like a winner to me. If, however, you do some more research, find a revenue model, identify your customer funnel, and work out your expenses and decide it will be profitable: HAVE AN EXIT PLAN. Have something you can jump ship too in case it goes tits up. If only for your sanity, because when a major project or company you've founded hits the bricks, the worst part is figure out what you're gonna do with your life and starting from scratch. Have a part time job, a side hustle, anything that will keep you in a productive rhythm.

Thirdly - all your questions are vague
>Or is tech a better direction to go?
I dunno, maybe. Are you talking about being a freelance software, selling routers, creating an app, a social network, going into fintech, crypto platforms? How much do you think you'd be earning in insurance, 10 years from now is that what you want to be doing? What's a realistic amount of savings you could have (then halve it)?

The solution to the third is: figure out What life you want, then figure out WHY u wantit

Who? I've never seen anybody try this

>>9084285
I have no idea how profitable it would be. I would keep my sales job while I was working on it.

I would just have a store where right-wingers can sell their material and I would take a piece of it, and I would also promote right-wing music/art/literature and that sort of thing. Eventually do events and stuff like that.

I just had this idea because I'm a performing musician and literally every step in the process involves sucking up to some s()yboy male feminist or 56% muttface dyke with a buzzcut. Seems like there's a demand for this sort of thing to me.

I make very little in music and make most of my money off of insurance sales.

I make like $200 per performance and teach lessons here and there. Probably spend more money recording my music than I make selling it. I only perform sometimes too... so yeah.

You should be buying PFR instead of whatever crap youre holding. Their mainnet comes out on April 30th. Do you realize that Localbitcoins now has KYC? Do you understand that once PFR is out, people will all jump ship to avoid having to upload documents? People kept doubting the project but these guys deliver. Do you want to be poor forever...

"Seems like there's demand" ain't good enough - you got to actually find out for sure. Better to waste some of your time doing research than to go ballsdeep into something and realize it was doomed from day 1.
Do your homework. Find out what is going to make these artists come to your store instead of using another format. Find out what advantages you can have over these 'muttface dykes'

I want you to be able to tell me confidently:
-Roughly how much it would cost to set up
-How many artists you could get selling on this platform by 1 month, 3 months, 12 months
-What the average income per-artist would be and what your slice of that would be
-Your biggest competitors, who they are, why you're competing against them, what they do worse than you, what they will probably do better than you

If you can't tell me that, then you shouldn't do it.

>>9085984
>I make like $200 per performance
You need to get better at marketing, remember what I said about sales. Salesmanship is the most important skill you can have, at the very least save your pennies and invest it in a tour or a viral video or something to promote your music.
