I am still new to this site, so i have no idea how to use cool effects or anything but here is what i have done to make money so far all the way to now at 18 ( almost 6 figures total) , some of these are morally questionable

When i was 14, in 2020-2021 i began by reselling fortnite accounts. Mainly buying accounts on russian forums and telegram and selling them on telegram or paying people to sell them for me (proxy) , on sites like eldorado and playerauctions. This is quite hard to scale, as ur selling them for at most like a 25% profit, and not only that u need to build a reputation and spend time building connects, made like 2k total, which isn't an insane amount, but being 14 it felt amazing. Im sure you can still make money doing this but there is better ways imo.

at around 16, i spent most of my time selling runescape (osrs) gold, running bot farms. I didin't take it too seriously, mainly did it for fun with the money as kinda just a bonus, this is also pretty risky and u can lose a lot before u actually gain. I made roughly 1-2k from here aswell nothing crazy, but I knew people making much more, those who create the scripts can also make a lot of money, im sure theres still money to be made today.

from 17-18, i bounced between different things, ill start with ecommerce/dropshipping. Anyone saying 'dropshipping is dead' is a retard and its cope. Aslong as there is people willing to spend money, u can make money. This is where i made my first decent money, being on and off it for a while testing products I finally found something i could scale, which was a shoe sole (sounds retarded ik). I found the product on kalodata but u can find good products anywhere, facebook ads library is goated too. I scaled this product to 4 figures a day in revenue, which is very very doable in the ecom space, and made about 20k profit. Being under 18 i was getting fucked by vat, payment processing and having a fuck ton of problems, if ur doing ecom, make sure u have a credit card to scale with. I dont currently do ecom but if you want to make money imo its one of the best things u could do, it will be here forever, not that hard to learn, and the sky is the limit. There is many people doing 100k$+ a day in revenue here.

With everything in ecom crashing down I pivoted to crypto (memecoins), in the beginning i lost almost all my money but i saw the potential with it, i ended up running my money back up which i will explain how in the paragraph under this, but i got back to like 15k liquid and then got back into crypto, that was like 5 months ago, from then to now i have made about 60k in crypto, i have made a majority of this just deploying coins, its the highest R/R thing u can do in memecoins and again the sky is the limit, but there is a bit of a iqpill to it and u will need to sit at ur pc all day, and i mean all day. If you want to make a lot of money u will have to do things like bundling supply maybe larping a project here and there but at the end of the day game is game and whenever someone purchases ur deploy there is always an r/r to it, even tho if u do it right a lot of people will be able to make money on your deploys anyways, there will always be winners and losers here.

Selling social media handles, primarily instagram. There is a fuck ton of money in handles, and that is primarily because nearly everyone who buys them does fraud.
Some of these can go for up to 50k$+, on places like telegram names have sold for over 1m$. You will need some sort of money to do this, and connections. I made 10k here in 3 days, but that doesnt mean u can do that all the time, i have been in this scene for quite a long time and saw a opportunity and bought 4 instagram usernames ( was kinda lucky with the opportunity here, ) , you can definitely still make money here tho.

If i was to give advice on what to start now for many of u reading this, it would be ecom, with the current state of memecoins idk how much longer it is going to last, and the other methods just arent that scalable.

some random things
how i bought crypto under 18.
i used different ways, u used to be able to buy crypto on Exodus through apple pay, without KYC, which i think is patched now.
Buying cs2 skins with card/paypal and selling them for crypto. This is a good method, its kinda aids now having to wait 2 weeks though. If you have the time to wait this should work fine.
Exchangers. U can find exchangers on many places, i used ogusers. This is fine but u will be taxed heavily, You will have to send the money through paypal and they will charge u like 20%.

Some resources

Memecoins,

twitch is ur best bet. Youtube is filled with slop. Go to the crypto tab and look for people trading memecoins with 100+ viewers, u will quickly get to learn whos legit/who to learn from. Use axiom.trade to trade on and never install any random bookmarks or extensions, u can lose everything in a few clicks by downloading something or connecting ur wallet to a random site.

Ecom

@spencerpawliw
@shauneng_
@ecommmoose
@markbuildsbrands

These guys are pretty good, theres also others, but these guys do 100k$+ a day legitly, a lot of these other gurus u see just run blackhat just to sell their slop course.

Crypto exchange
if u want to buy skins use places like buff163 or skinport.
to exchange and just pay the fee use oguser, only use people with a lot of vouches.

sorry this thread looks ugly this is my first time ever writing one.

Also once u begin making money, don't tell anyone, and never make money your god.

How time consuming would you rate ecom and memecoins? I dont have much experience trying to make money on the internet besides helping out some blackhats back in 2023/24 so rate it as if you had no experience or connections
 
When it comes to usernames are you talking about flipping users?
Is it good enough if I start small with cheap names? Or is it go big or go home.

memecoins are much more time consuming, in the beginning ecom will be time consuming but as u scale it gets less and less. Its also easier to learn imo as there is much more information available. If i were to start something now from scratch it would be ecom

u can start with any, but there will always be more demand for the more expensive names, might take a while to sell the cheaper ones. for example one of the users i bought i paid 1.4k for, and i sold it for 4k the next day, wont be as much opportunity like that in smaller ones.

I'm guessing you sell on ogusers? Would you say selling on that site is oversaturated and I should find somewhere else or is OGU good enough.

actually i bought 3 of them on ogusers, one on telegram. Sold them all on telegram after. Ogu is probably the best places to go to sell though still

Any tips on how to start? Im watching one of spencerpawliws vids rn and with each concept they say I write down like 3 questions to figure out later or it feels like they’re talking about ecom on a massive scale lmao
 
Legit? I've recently turned 18 and will run into barely any issues but I thought it was oversaturated and too l8

Ecom? if u mean posting videos of random led balls on tiktok and hoping they go viral then yes its overstaturated, Running ads and pushing adspend towards meta and tiktok is not 'oversaturated' at all.
 
Good thread made by someone who acc knows what he's talking about, anyone who thinks that dropshipping/ecom is dead or will die anytime soon is retarded

Watch subi on yt and watch the vids in his discord server too, he did like 3m revenue and copped a lambo his first year of ecom.

He did get exposed recently for scamming his students but he still has good info you can learn on his channel for free.

also follow a bunch of ecom guys on twitter, there are so many succesful entrepreneurs who spend a lot of time on X and give out good sauce.
