Looking for business ideas

 Business ideas that actually make money.

I've been a truck driver for a company and that 10 am to 10 pm life 6 days a week was a grind.

That company overworked me and I was eventually laid off. So I decided it was time to be my own boss.

I signed up to be an Amazon affiliate. I started a YouTube Channel on How to Survive Your Backyard Off-Grid. Funny story but Now I'm a Tired low-paid Rideshare driver. It seems like there just isn't enough work now with just about everyone doing Uber, Lyft, and DoorDash. Two and a half years doing Uber. It was great but with the economy now. I need to find business ideas that actually make money.

I could make furniture or flip antiques. But that takes hard labor and marketing to get it sold.

I've made candles and have a candle shop. Just check it out for yourself if you'd like.

It's Backyardog.shop 

Candles are fun year-round for me but not for everyone else haha!

My home-based business is full of candles and my brain is full of ideas. That's the entrepreneur in me I suppose. But enough about me. What are some business ideas that you believe will make money in today's economy?

Be sure to subscribe to the YouTube Channel and leave a comment on my videos like most of my trolls haha! but seriously it's free to subscribe and I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.

I'm always in the mood for Camping and I might try hammock camping this year.

Get this Camping hammock for under $20. I get a small commission as an Amazon affiliate that helps support my content and YouTube Channel.

Another Business idea I've been trying. Affiliate marketing. Where you find products and get a small commission every time someone makes a purchase.

But if all else fails I can get a part-time job at Mcdonalds again. The hourly pay in California is up to $20 an hour. Hope this info helps y'all survive this wonderful life. Happy Camping and good luck with your business search if you're looking πŸ•

What does it take to be a content creator?

 In my personal experience off-grid and as an actor. The content you create should be geared towards your audience. I just got banned from posting videos on YouTube for 90 days. Will I survive? The answer is yes. As an entrepreneur and content creator, I will stop at nothing to express myself. If you want motivation. I make content on motivation and survival. I can also do acting and voice acting. I make my own music for my videos because if you want to be successful and survive. You have to produce original content. Organic content is the way to go. I don't care what I post sometimes. I enjoy comedy as well. Sometimes I will post vlogs or blog about comedy. But I enjoy camping and being off-grid. So yes, I have what it takes to be a content creator. I will never give up on my dreams.  I also make candles. If my content has to be based around camping and candle-making.
