>> Now he makes $30,000 a month producing jingles
$30k * 12 = $360,000. In 3 years a millionaire...
I’ve made upwards of $12k in a given week. It was fun to imagine that as a constant revenue. Lucky if I can make that in a month, and I’m still in the red.
Two things jump out at me.
#1: the 20% headhunters fee. That’s usury.
#2: 30k per month? Maybe gross in one month recently when everything was hitting on all cylinders and a few lucky breaks panned out. Net, minus the headhunter fee of 6k off the top, taxes and the whatnot, he probably saw about 18-20k. Still really good, but in the jingle-selling world, not a thing to bet the future on, and it probably came after a lot of hustle and many more 0k months before and after.
If you got a passion in life, follow it and be the best you can be. It may so happen that you can live the dream. Technology has made it possible for most jobs to be remoted... However, if your passion in life is not leaving your house and you don’t have skills in demand, great jobs won’t be knocking your door down.
