Everybody seeks one thing; financial freedom. We desire to sustain ourselves and take care of those we love. So we go to school and spend years finding the perfect job. But the job sector is saturated and the opportunities are limited. Emerging factors such as AI and culture shifts continue to narrow these odds. Many educated people find themselves jobless and without an income. How do you escape the system?
This is not foreign to me. My goal after high school was to join university, land the job of my dreams, and live happily ever after. I was fortunate to be admitted into one of the most prestigious universities in my country. I ended up majoring in filmmaking technology. Like most of my colleagues, I struggled to find the perfect job.
Subconsciously, I chose the business route. I did photography and videography for anyone who would pay me. I also wrote and sold a few scripts. If you have ever been a freelancer you know how unpredictable it is. Sometimes the money flows fine. Then everything dries out and the cycle continues. Everything changed when I started using the internet correctly.
I started sharing my work on social media and my client pool increased. I experimented with different platforms; Instagram for photos, YouTube for videos, and X for writing. Building my brand has changed the game for me. I’m making better connections, building my community, and attracting quality clients. The best part has been helping people do the same.
This is the new age of entrepreneurship. Everybody gets a chance if they are willing to do the work. The internet guarantees unlimited reach and the barrier to entry is very low. However, it requires strategy and effort. Otherwise, it’s a meaningless venture.
The world is changing fast and all the attention has shifted online. Do not be a mindless consumer, start creating. Build an audience, solve their problems, and free yourself from the rat race. This is how you get to financial freedom. Invest and succeed.
