This is super true and the answer to the level 1 is affiliate marketing
Because you don’t have to build anything
No calls
No clients
No fulfilment
You just need to learn how to put the offer in front of other people and collect money
It’s the purest form of learning one skill that pays - marketing
If you know marketing you will always make money
Attention is money
Once you crack traffic conversion everything else becomes easy mode - services, info, saas, whatever
i see a massive bias on X - beginners are getting pushed into diving headfirst into things that sell themselves like consumer apps, info, saas, etc.
but most people that have actually made significant money with these things can attest that the easiest way to get to $10k/month is to sell your services directly
you're fighting an uphill battle by tryna sell your solution in a hands-off reusable format, 1000's of people are doing the same thing - this should be a gamble reserved for those that already have time/capital to invest & leads to sell to
i don't think i have a single successful friend who didn't start out with some type of service-based business that required them to actually work...
you should be balls-deep in your industry & used to getting your hands dirty before you go for a "build once, sell twice" product
on the plus side, working for people who have a functioning business is also a form of apprenticeship, it's free mentorship that you get paid for, win/win
