I am still stuck at $350/m, even after 5 yrs
I started editing videos back in 2022, I first got my computer at that time and still editing on that. I didn't realize how time flies. If I look back at my journey, I was enrolled in a university, doing bachelors and editing videos. The first 2,3 years was really painful.
Classes, editing and stuck with low income, but just today I realize that its been almost 5 years, and I still havenot able to scale my income to more than $350, yeah some month there was $400 or $450, however, the average is $300 $350 ish.
I am 26 right now, I see one the internet 22,23 yrs making millions with video editing.
the issue is I am not consistent with anything, and I dont upskill myself, but what is the main issue here is i dont have a proper guideline, i get lost in the sea of rando tutorials on youtube, and for a very long time, I had consumed most of them, however implemented not even 1%.
If you talk to me in person, you will find me as a very smart, cool guy, who follows naval ravikant, read non fiction shits, like the psycology of money, watch alex hormozi videos.
But in reality the number speak for itsself, $350 per month
I maybe the single person on earth who knows his shit, but still stuck at this income level, living in constant fear and expecting the next pay check to hit soon.
Guys, if u can leave something, I would be grateful
Thanks!
