We all dream of quitting our 9-5 job behind a desk and making money for ourselves on our own time, don’t we? Whether you fantasize about taking your travel Instagram from hobby to job, or launching a YouTube channel to share your expertise while also making an income, these desires are common and maybe not as hard as you think to accomplish.
Those who have found success online — and a hefty income, to boot — swear that they’d never go back to a 40-hour workweek grind, and many encourage others to do the same. Sure, it’s not easy, making content can take up a lot of time, but the feeling of freedom, being your own boss, and being in control of your income are second to none.
Here, we’ve collected the top five ways that you can learn how to make money with social media.
#1 Automate Channels is the brainchild of 22-year-old, seven-figure-earning YouTube wunderkind, Caleb Boxx. He helps both new and seasoned creators learn to automate videos.
Automated videos can raise their income, lower their regular working hours, and serve their audience the content they love. Through his YouTube Automation flagship university, creators join a mentorship mastermind program and get linked up with their own personal coach who will help them build their YouTube channel.
The program has been called a great way of making passive income by Grit Daily, and revolutionary by CEO Magazine. Entrepreneurial Magazine has called Boxx a phenomenon in the YouTube space.
