Yes. People with lots of earned income have better opportunities to earn passive income. You're already going into work every single day until you retire, and a better job will help you earn passive income in so many ways. That guy who wrote the long tail book you wank over still had a number of normal high income jobs.... and he's still working. Speaking of which. How many of your current projects are truly long tail? Funco pops are a fad, nobody's 1990s beanie baby "homepage" is making money off their doubleclick ads these days. Every year your videos will have a new set of comic con videos to compete with. Plus just recently you were recently stung by a change in youtube policy, a situation you were warned of. It could happen again.
If you made 100k you could dump 105 - 15k a year into your 401k and health savings plan to dodge taxes, pay off your credit cards and keep all that interest you're paying now and dump another 30k to 40k into your projects and you'd pay around the same amount of taxes you're paying now up until the point your projects generate enough income to push you into a new tax bracket and then you can dodge that tax by investing all of excess the income into business expenses. Really. If you put 30k into your vlog you could claim all that shit as business expenses, get 5% back towards airline miles with the right credit card, and have your pick of monitization options, all of which pay much better than youtube. Hell you could save yourself a ton of money and still host them all on youtube, still get your youtube cash, and get outside clicks off your blog to "game the youtube algorithm" and also collect money off the ads on your web page. Which won't look like a generic wordpress.
Almost free money since you have to go to work anyhow. The cost is 6 months of your time during which your projects will still be making passive income. If they fail with after 6 month of absence are they really passive long tail income. Plus if your paid off your credit card you could get a card that pays you a bunch of airline miles so you can fly around for free once you retire. Of course that's a waste of time unless you're paying off your balance every single month.
Hurry! Sell your silver this instant and pay off your credit card!! It's not too late!
I just love how you give FREE advice to someone who isn't even on Slashdot to read it.
Chris, regarding your youtube channel, contact me ASAP please, I have AI click-bots that don't get detected by youtube. -1 subscriber and 17 views a day for you is sad,
I'll let Chris know that he needs to make another Slashdot video. That should get him another 1,500+ views over six weeks.
The dumb fat fuck forgot to post as AC again!
Uh, no. I'm not FCLM who copied creimer's YouTube URL and replaced the Amazon affiliate link with his own tag. Doesn't surprise me that he's cashing out while gullible fucks like you will just blame creimer. Very sad.
Some people manage by the book, even though they don't know who wrote the book or even what book.
