- Drug Dealing
Ranking: b tier
Very low iq and easy to get into. The main reason it’s getting b tier though is it’s pretty high risk so you definitely need to have street smarts and know how to avoid cops (lots of fake undercover cops). Also brutal suspiciounmin if ur black. Also I know some people who get shot doing this either from angry customers or from other dealers (don’t deal in peoples hoods you could get killed) avoid gang members or affiliation in general just deal to women old niggs or random people wh are just druggies.

Average drug dealer varies hardly. Some can go as low as 700 a month but if you deal bulk or high volume you could make more than an average salary (my friend easily makes 6 figs+ and drives 4 cars from it) . People who make the most money are the bulk dealers, people who grow their own shit, rings/large companies, etc.

Gotta be high iq but also low iq at the same time to do this (low iq cause it’s dumb and risky but high iq cause you needa know how to survive, how to get clients

- being a guru/course seller
Ranking: c tier
Making courses or being a “TikTok guru” scammer is definitely overrated. If you’re a small time course seller you aren’t really making all that much. Even the top 1% like brezscales are just larps who were already rich before the course and even then they still pretend to be more rich then they actually are.
I’m just terms of raw data to make 100k as a course seller you would need 417 people paying $20 a month every month for a year. Basically you would be a small saas business. Not to mention this isn’t 100k profit. Most people will leave ur course in the first 1-2 months anyways once they realized they gained pretty much nothing. And the more saturated it gets/the more course sellers there are the less people you can sell a course to. Making the business model pretty much terrible. It’s inherently a business model that just doesn’t work well. If someone fails then they will just drop out of the course because you aren’t benefitting them unless their low iq and just think their the reason why they failed and not the shitty business model. If someone does succeed then their still gonna drop out of the course because they know what they need to know and there is no benefit anymore from paying you each month

So essentially the only people who are still paying are the very very low iq 16 year olds who you are preying on

Another thing to know is that people are only going to join your course in the first place if you already appear as rich. So that means you are going to constantly need to rent out expensive cars and larp “that your returning it or getting a new one” ur going to constantly have to dump money into overpriced shitty penthouses in Miami as well as dumping into fake watches fake chains fake clothes fake shoes etc etc. Ull also need to use fake cash (if you get caught it’s over). So in other words there is a shit ton of expenses if you want to be succesful in this model. The only time you should actually sell courses is if you are actualy profitable in some other type of business that way you don’t have to constantly larp and flex and can just show sales and dashboards

- sales
Ranking: d tier
Did door to door sales and was probably one of the worst jobs I ever did. It’s pretty much a legal pyramid scheme. The only people who make money are the people at the top. The only time door to door sales is worth it is if you have a minimum base hourly pay (it’s fine if they deduct once you get a sale). 99% of the time you won’t even close a single sale as people don’t want a random nigga at their door tryna sell them bullshit, they don’t care that it’s free with insurance they don’t care that they’ll save money from ur shitty solar panels they don’t give a fuck. People are literally going to say no if you try offering them a free $30 bill. I met a guy there who was working for 3 months and hasn’t made a single dollar Jfl. It’s literally a meme job if you can even call it a job in the first place (it’s basically just glorified volunteer work and maybe you get paid later on possibly). The only kind of sales you should ever do if you do sales at all is automotive sales. Car sales is a decent business model since people obviously need cars and it wil forever have high demand and as long as you have good interpersonal skills you can make good money in this shit. Run away from any jobs though that say “no base pay you only get paid when you close a deal”
That shit is just a fucking scam and idk how that’s even legal. And even if you do close a sale spending 3 months to finally get $500 in commission after expenses is just slavery
- selling software/cheats/exploits
Ranking: c tier
Ranked c because it takes years upon years to build a actually good software people wanna buy on top of you needing years upon years of knowledge/experience to even have the knowledge to build the software to begin with. Or you would have to hire developers which in turn also requires a shit ton of money (anyone who works for free or very low pay is probably inexperienced anyways). But once you do have your own program it is very profitable.

My friend made a rocket league cheat and sells it for $400 and easily makes 6 figures a year the only thing he does is update it with new features every month or so and fix it if it gets patched.

Very very good margins since ur essentially just selling the same product over and over and you don’t even technically need employees of you know how to develop yourself

However it’s a huge pyramid scheme because the people at the very top of software companies are the ones who make money out of literally everything.
Imagine how much money Shopify makes due to the TikTok dropshipping era imagine how much money online gambling companies make

Selling shovels is never going to be a outdated business
- real estate
ranking: c tier
I ranked this c tier since in order to be highly profitable in this field you pretty much already need to be rich so it kinda kills the purpose of the thread.

You would already need 15k expendable as well as good credit to just bare minimum purchase a property and depending on where you live it could be higher or lower

And don’t even bother with rental arbitrage Jfl you will go broke if you even are lucky enough to find a landlord who will let you do that dumbass shit

Same thing with warehousing it is very high up front costs and if there is low demand for storage in your area you will probably fail unless you are competitive

Overall anything real estate related don’t even bother unless your already making good money

- scamming/carding/fraud
Ranking: meme tier
Practically no chance of succeeding from this. If you don’t have insiders, 140+ iq, and years of opsec/cybersecurity experience don’t even bother. You are more likely to get scammed in attempts to scam than to actually succesfully make money scamming. The people at the top wit experience are just selling washed bins and outdated tutorials. And chances are even if you do get lucky ull just end up getting caught because you learned how to scam off of a few TikTok videos and dread posts

The people who make money scamming either have insiders, scam other scammers, or years of experience

- getting a job
Ranking: A tier
Definitely essential in terms of becoming succesful. In order to even get started with any of these other things you will need a job to fund yourself. Probably the only one on this list that will give you a consistent flow of money

- sports betting
Ranking: D tier
Only about3% of sports betterss make profit long term. The reality is sports betting is literally designed for you to lose money and this is how gambling and sports betting websites are almost certain you will fail and the will make huge profit off of you.

Think about this in terms of raw numbers
Sports books put a house edge on bets (basically a fee). So in order to be consistently profitable you have to win 52.4% of your bets (even being 52% = you lose money)
To put it in perspective even the top 1.3% of betters with multiple degrees and years of experience only win about 53-55% and even they make very small profits to the point where the only way they can make really good money is just by doing very high volume (and then they end up getting banned/limited by casinos anyways lmao)
Meanwhile you think you will make thousands and outcompete data companies and hedge funds just cause you watched a few gambling tiktoks and looked at film of the players Jfl. The market always wins

- Reselling
Ranking: C tier
Reselling is not going to make you rich whatsoever. You can make a cool 1k here and there every few months from ur hellstar shirt and shitty bape shoes but it’s not as good as people advertised.

It is extremely saturated so that means you have to be very competitive. Back then you could easily sell some shoes for 200. Now with Depop and all these other sites you can get luxury shit for like 20 bucs (their definitely fake though) so if you wanna compete you has to have similar prices. The problem with this though is if your sellling $60 items for $10 the math is that your just losing money.
there is basically no profit from this business and the only way people even make money reselling is either just buy selling extremely high volume (which is also hard) or selling very high ticket or rare items (hard to source unless ur just getting fake shit)

So can you make money? Probably but will you make a lot? No

The people who make money from “reselling” are just the ones who sell you vendors or the people supplying you. If you want to make a decent ammount on the side though you should find a good product and sell it on Amazon or eBay, statistically speaking most arbitrage sellers on Amazon do make money (62% report 5,000 monthly or more). Amazon mogs Depop, Facebook and other sites people use for reselling.
Ranking:

-memecoins
Ranking: meme tier (literally)
Even the top 10% of memecoin traders make only 100$+. The top 0.5% make 10,000 and even non memecoin rugpulls like actual cryptos about 15% actualy profit at all at any point over time so ur obviously not gonna get rich from this

-YouTuber
Ranking: meme tier
Almost no YouTubers actually make money. Who it 0.25% of channels even make a single dollar (whic to be fair this number could be skewed since there’s a shit ton of channels) but even among the top a average 100k subscriber channel is only making 1-6k per month in ad revenue (they might make more if they do sponsorships/brand deals) and your obviously not gonna ever hit 100k Letalone something high enough to be making consistent money.

However if you were gonna do this the only types of channels worth making for the money is kids content (rain sleep videos, Roblox videos, toddler songs,etc). If you attempt to make actually good content your Adsense will be way lower and Ull take much longer to grow
-streamer
Ranking: meme tier
Same thing with YouTube except even harder. Growing a twitch account from scratch is painfully hard only 27.4% of twitch streamers even make a single dollar. And even the ones who make any money are probably making very low amounts (double or single digits)

- amazon FBA
Ranking: c tier
8.25% of Amazon fba sellers make even $15k a year and 4% make 40k a year (average salary) and 2.3% make 50k a year
It is very unlikely you will be making significant money from Amazon fba a majority of people will actually lose money from expenses over making it. Dont believe the hype you won’t make a single penny in profit unless you are extremely above average

- Truck Driving
ranking: C Tier
You can definitely make upwards of 100k a year doing this but the problem is it’s a huge lifeminn. You will become depressed and lifeless after and will take a huge toll on your mental (mental state is underrated af)
If you have no friends and don’t mind driving every second of the day for years of your life then go ahead.
-Dropshipping
ranking: D tier
Only 10% of dropshipping brands are even profitable in the first year (and it gets worse. The longer it is after a few years it drops down to 1-5%)
And like I said even being profitable doesn’t = ur making 100k or even a living salary. Simply increasing in revenue at all is considered profitable

It’s definitely not a long term sustainable business model for most people. If you want to get into business owning it’s possible to use it to begin and then switch to wholesale in the long run. There is very high saturation and competition of people selling the same products, starting one is as simple as opening a Shopify account posting some tiktoks and then ordering shit off of aliexpress once you get a order so obviously the market has thousands of 16-20 year old kids trying to get rich off of selling bullshit cheap Chinese shit

Also another thing to know is making money or having money in your dashboard doesn’t mean you profited. You can make 10k total and 5k of that was used to source the product 3k was used to run ads and 1k was used for ads and another 1k used for taxes and 500 was lost from people refunding your shitty Chinese product and then your basically losing money despite having so much revenue

- business owning
Ranking: b tier
Very underrated and fearmonghered way of becoming rich over the long term. The data shows that 65% of small businesses will make profit. Now obviously profit doesn’t = ur making 100k every year take home. And if you have employees (which most good businesses have) realistically your only taking home about 4-5k every month to use for whatever you want (but if your a smart business owner you will just reinvest it anyways)
But remember, when I say “owning a business” I don’t mean the TikTok bullshit idea of what business owning means, it doesn’t mean you make a shitty marketing business or clothing brand or skincare brand and grind and ur making money after a few months. Most people won’t be able to take home 100k until after 7 years of running the business as well as most people won’t even be profitable the first 2-3 years statistically. If you have been running it for a year and don’t make any profits people usually consider that as a failure but in reality that’s actually normal. It also does take a mental toll on you + you have to dump so much money into it. Your bank account is going to be at a constant $0 for years of your life and you also need basic business knowledge or you are guaranteed to get into legal problems.

Overall I think if you have the mindset, don’t just want fast cash, are willing to lose money for the first few years, and can commit to learning relevant skills like marketing and other things, owning a business is definitely a feasible option for you and the data does show that most people give up or fail in the first year but it completely inverts after about the third year which is when most people actually do start being profitable.
- Day trading
ranking: Meme tier.
Almost all of traders lose money in the first 12 months (about 36% of what they invested to begin with) and only 0.5-2% of traders make 100k

One study showed to even make a living wage you have to be the top 3% (even Amazon fab outperforms it) and to make a average bank tellers salary you have to be top0.6%
One study even showed of top 3% of traders

index funds consistently outperform daytrsders

The reality is you won’t outperform hedge funds like banks (which 1/3 of employees have a phd in math/computer science/physics) and even if you did it’s not consistent/long term money

And you especially won’t be top 0.5% of traders from watching tjr trades videos or some random 12 year old trading off a fake test account on TikTok you need actual market knowledge and years of experience to even have a chance to be part of the top 20% who don’t lose money completely

- SMMA
Ranking: d tier
Only about 10% do succeed. dont let TikTok gurus lie to you. You probably won’t make money from doing this shit and will probably lose money if anything. Even the ones who do succeed aren’t making huge profits for a very long time, this isn’t a get rich quick scheme. Anything that is fast has almost 100% success rate in the market (if it was so easy everyone would do it and be millionaires)

- S&p 500 investments
Ranking: A
S&p500 is one of the most consistent investments to make income over a long period. 88% of the time if you hold a s&p500 investment you will make money and it increased to 94% for 10 years and for 20 years it’s
100% in fact if you just invest 550-600 a month you’ll be a millionaire by retirement on average

Only problems is obviously people want money fast and who cares if ur rich when ur basically halfway dead

100% in fact if you just invest 550-600 a month you’ll be a millionaire by retirement on average

Only problems is obviously people want money fast and who cares if ur rich when ur basically halfway dead
saying carding/ fraud is meme tier is ridiculous
do your research and you can easily be rich, no exaggerating or trolling here, dead serious

- Drug Dealing
Ranking: b tier
Very low iq and easy to get into. The main reason it’s getting b tier though is it’s pretty high risk so you definitely need to have street smarts and know how to avoid cops (lots of fake undercover cops). Also brutal suspiciounmin if ur black. Also I know some people who get shot doing this either from angry customers or from other dealers (don’t deal in peoples hoods you could get killed) avoid gang members or affiliation in general just deal to women old niggs or random people wh are just druggies.

Average drug dealer varies hardly. Some can go as low as 700 a month but if you deal bulk or high volume you could make more than an average salary (my friend easily makes 6 figs+ and drives 4 cars from it) . People who make the most money are the bulk dealers, people who grow their own shit, rings/large companies, etc.

Gotta be high iq but also low iq at the same time to do this (low iq cause it’s dumb and risky but high iq cause you needa know how to survive, how to get clients

- being a guru/course seller
Ranking: c tier
Making courses or being a “TikTok guru” scammer is definitely overrated. If you’re a small time course seller you aren’t really making all that much. Even the top 1% like brezscales are just larps who were already rich before the course and even then they still pretend to be more rich then they actually are.
I’m just terms of raw data to make 100k as a course seller you would need 417 people paying $20 a month every month for a year. Basically you would be a small saas business. Not to mention this isn’t 100k profit. Most people will leave ur course in the first 1-2 months anyways once they realized they gained pretty much nothing. And the more saturated it gets/the more course sellers there are the less people you can sell a course to. Making the business model pretty much terrible. It’s inherently a business model that just doesn’t work well. If someone fails then they will just drop out of the course because you aren’t benefitting them unless their low iq and just think their the reason why they failed and not the shitty business model. If someone does succeed then their still gonna drop out of the course because they know what they need to know and there is no benefit anymore from paying you each month

So essentially the only people who are still paying are the very very low iq 16 year olds who you are preying on

Another thing to know is that people are only going to join your course in the first place if you already appear as rich. So that means you are going to constantly need to rent out expensive cars and larp “that your returning it or getting a new one” ur going to constantly have to dump money into overpriced shitty penthouses in Miami as well as dumping into fake watches fake chains fake clothes fake shoes etc etc. Ull also need to use fake cash (if you get caught it’s over). So in other words there is a shit ton of expenses if you want to be succesful in this model. The only time you should actually sell courses is if you are actualy profitable in some other type of business that way you don’t have to constantly larp and flex and can just show sales and dashboards

- sales
Ranking: d tier
Did door to door sales and was probably one of the worst jobs I ever did. It’s pretty much a legal pyramid scheme. The only people who make money are the people at the top. The only time door to door sales is worth it is if you have a minimum base hourly pay (it’s fine if they deduct once you get a sale). 99% of the time you won’t even close a single sale as people don’t want a random nigga at their door tryna sell them bullshit, they don’t care that it’s free with insurance they don’t care that they’ll save money from ur shitty solar panels they don’t give a fuck. People are literally going to say no if you try offering them a free $30 bill. I met a guy there who was working for 3 months and hasn’t made a single dollar Jfl. It’s literally a meme job if you can even call it a job in the first place (it’s basically just glorified volunteer work and maybe you get paid later on possibly). The only kind of sales you should ever do if you do sales at all is automotive sales. Car sales is a decent business model since people obviously need cars and it wil forever have high demand and as long as you have good interpersonal skills you can make good money in this shit. Run away from any jobs though that say “no base pay you only get paid when you close a deal”
That shit is just a fucking scam and idk how that’s even legal. And even if you do close a sale spending 3 months to finally get $500 in commission after expenses is just slavery
- selling software/cheats/exploits
Ranking: c tier
Ranked c because it takes years upon years to build a actually good software people wanna buy on top of you needing years upon years of knowledge/experience to even have the knowledge to build the software to begin with. Or you would have to hire developers which in turn also requires a shit ton of money (anyone who works for free or very low pay is probably inexperienced anyways). But once you do have your own program it is very profitable.

My friend made a rocket league cheat and sells it for $400 and easily makes 6 figures a year the only thing he does is update it with new features every month or so and fix it if it gets patched.

Very very good margins since ur essentially just selling the same product over and over and you don’t even technically need employees of you know how to develop yourself

However it’s a huge pyramid scheme because the people at the very top of software companies are the ones who make money out of literally everything.
Imagine how much money Shopify makes due to the TikTok dropshipping era imagine how much money online gambling companies make

Selling shovels is never going to be a outdated business
- real estate
ranking: c tier
I ranked this c tier since in order to be highly profitable in this field you pretty much already need to be rich so it kinda kills the purpose of the thread.

You would already need 15k expendable as well as good credit to just bare minimum purchase a property and depending on where you live it could be higher or lower

And don’t even bother with rental arbitrage Jfl you will go broke if you even are lucky enough to find a landlord who will let you do that dumbass shit

Same thing with warehousing it is very high up front costs and if there is low demand for storage in your area you will probably fail unless you are competitive

Overall anything real estate related don’t even bother unless your already making good money

- scamming/carding/fraud
Ranking: meme tier
Practically no chance of succeeding from this. If you don’t have insiders, 140+ iq, and years of opsec/cybersecurity experience don’t even bother. You are more likely to get scammed in attempts to scam than to actually succesfully make money scamming. The people at the top wit experience are just selling washed bins and outdated tutorials. And chances are even if you do get lucky ull just end up getting caught because you learned how to scam off of a few TikTok videos and dread posts

The people who make money scamming either have insiders, scam other scammers, or years of experience

- getting a job
Ranking: A tier
Definitely essential in terms of becoming succesful. In order to even get started with any of these other things you will need a job to fund yourself. Probably the only one on this list that will give you a consistent flow of money

- sports betting
Ranking: D tier
Only about3% of sports betterss make profit long term. The reality is sports betting is literally designed for you to lose money and this is how gambling and sports betting websites are almost certain you will fail and the will make huge profit off of you.

Think about this in terms of raw numbers
Sports books put a house edge on bets (basically a fee). So in order to be consistently profitable you have to win 52.4% of your bets (even being 52% = you lose money)
To put it in perspective even the top 1.3% of betters with multiple degrees and years of experience only win about 53-55% and even they make very small profits to the point where the only way they can make really good money is just by doing very high volume (and then they end up getting banned/limited by casinos anyways lmao)
Meanwhile you think you will make thousands and outcompete data companies and hedge funds just cause you watched a few gambling tiktoks and looked at film of the players Jfl. The market always wins

- Reselling
Ranking: C tier
Reselling is not going to make you rich whatsoever. You can make a cool 1k here and there every few months from ur hellstar shirt and shitty bape shoes but it’s not as good as people advertised.

It is extremely saturated so that means you have to be very competitive. Back then you could easily sell some shoes for 200. Now with Depop and all these other sites you can get luxury shit for like 20 bucs (their definitely fake though) so if you wanna compete you has to have similar prices. The problem with this though is if your sellling $60 items for $10 the math is that your just losing money.
there is basically no profit from this business and the only way people even make money reselling is either just buy selling extremely high volume (which is also hard) or selling very high ticket or rare items (hard to source unless ur just getting fake shit)

So can you make money? Probably but will you make a lot? No

The people who make money from “reselling” are just the ones who sell you vendors or the people supplying you. If you want to make a decent ammount on the side though you should find a good product and sell it on Amazon or eBay, statistically speaking most arbitrage sellers on Amazon do make money (62% report 5,000 monthly or more). Amazon mogs Depop, Facebook and other sites people use for reselling.

Even the top 10% of memecoin traders make only 100$+. The top 0.5% make 10,000 and even non memecoin rugpulls like actual cryptos about 15% actualy profit at all at any point over time so ur obviously not gonna get rich from this

-YouTuber
Ranking: meme tier
Almost no YouTubers actually make money. Who it 0.25% of channels even make a single dollar (whic to be fair this number could be skewed since there’s a shit ton of channels) but even among the top a average 100k subscriber channel is only making 1-6k per month in ad revenue (they might make more if they do sponsorships/brand deals) and your obviously not gonna ever hit 100k Letalone something high enough to be making consistent money.

However if you were gonna do this the only types of channels worth making for the money is kids content (rain sleep videos, Roblox videos, toddler songs,etc). If you attempt to make actually good content your Adsense will be way lower and Ull take much longer to grow

- Truck Driving
ranking: C Tier
You can definitely make upwards of 100k a year doing this but the problem is it’s a huge lifeminn. You will become depressed and lifeless after and will take a huge toll on your mental (mental state is underrated af)
If you have no friends and don’t mind driving every second of the day for years of your life then go ahead.
-Dropshipping
ranking: D tier
Only 10% of dropshipping brands are even profitable in the first year (and it gets worse. The longer it is after a few years it drops down to 1-5%)
And like I said even being profitable doesn’t = ur making 100k or even a living salary. Simply increasing in revenue at all is considered profitable

It’s definitely not a long term sustainable business model for most people. If you want to get into business owning it’s possible to use it to begin and then switch to wholesale in the long run. There is very high saturation and competition of people selling the same products, starting one is as simple as opening a Shopify account posting some tiktoks and then ordering shit off of aliexpress once you get a order so obviously the market has thousands of 16-20 year old kids trying to get rich off of selling bullshit cheap Chinese shit

Also another thing to know is making money or having money in your dashboard doesn’t mean you profited. You can make 10k total and 5k of that was used to source the product 3k was used to run ads and 1k was used for ads and another 1k used for taxes and 500 was lost from people refunding your shitty Chinese product and then your basically losing money despite having so much revenue

- business owning
Ranking: b tier
Very underrated and fearmonghered way of becoming rich over the long term. The data shows that 65% of small businesses will make profit. Now obviously profit doesn’t = ur making 100k every year take home. And if you have employees (which most good businesses have) realistically your only taking home about 4-5k every month to use for whatever you want (but if your a smart business owner you will just reinvest it anyways)
But remember, when I say “owning a business” I don’t mean the TikTok bullshit idea of what business owning means, it doesn’t mean you make a shitty marketing business or clothing brand or skincare brand and grind and ur making money after a few months. Most people won’t be able to take home 100k until after 7 years of running the business as well as most people won’t even be profitable the first 2-3 years statistically. If you have been running it for a year and don’t make any profits people usually consider that as a failure but in reality that’s actually normal. It also does take a mental toll on you + you have to dump so much money into it. Your bank account is going to be at a constant $0 for years of your life and you also need basic business knowledge or you are guaranteed to get into legal problems.

Overall I think if you have the mindset, don’t just want fast cash, are willing to lose money for the first few years, and can commit to learning relevant skills like marketing and other things, owning a business is definitely a feasible option for you and the data does show that most people give up or fail in the first year but it completely inverts after about the third year which is when most people actually do start being profitable.

The reality is you won’t outperform hedge funds like banks (which 1/3 of employees have a phd in math/computer science/physics) and even if you did it’s not consistent/long term money

Ranking: d tier
Only about 10% do succeed. dont let TikTok gurus lie to you. You probably won’t make money from doing this shit and will probably lose money if anything. Even the ones who do succeed aren’t making huge profits for a very long time, this isn’t a get rich quick scheme. Anything that is fast has almost 100% success rate in the market (if it was so easy everyone would do it and be millionaires)

- S&p 500 investments
Ranking: A
S&p500 is one of the most consistent investments to make income over a long period. 88% of the time if you hold a s&p500 investment you will make money and it increased to 94% for 10 years and for 20 years it’s
100% in fact if you just invest 550-600 a month you’ll be a millionaire by retirement on average

Only problems is obviously people want money fast and who cares if ur rich when ur basically halfway dead
