This week, I held a sister tea party to talk about my girlfriends' private conversations.
The topic is: how to make money in 2024.
In the current economic tide, some people laugh and some people worry.
With the continuous reshuffle and restructuring of the market, some industries are struggling with challenges, complaining that it is difficult to make money; However, other industries are booming, and their performance has risen instead of falling, showing strong resilience and vitality.
The economy is changing, is your industry the cusp or the cusp?
Perhaps you are standing on the cusp of the industry and enjoying the rich returns brought by market dividends; Perhaps you are facing the harsh winter of the industry, trying to find a trace of warmth in the cold wind.
Whether your industry has risen or fallen, your experiences and stories are valuable assets that deserve to be shared and heard.
We cordially invite you to talk about the state of your industry.
How do you respond to changes in the industry?
What are the new trends and opportunities for making money in your industry?
What are your thoughts on the earning prospects in 2024?
Your insights may be able to point the way for the career development of others. The experience of others may also provide new inspiration for your path to making money.
Let's take a look at what everyone has to say
Slash youth. ##
I found that many companies in the food industry have been recruiting people in the past two years, such as making seeds, general food oil, and noodles.
I see a lot of unemployed people who can't pull down their faces to do the three guarantees (nanny, security, cleaning), and there is also a good option is customer service, which has a higher income and is relatively free at home, and can be remote at home, and it does not affect the continued to become a slash young and middle-aged people.
In 2023, my revenue has increased by 15%, and the average income of the company has increased by 10%, and I am an insurance company.
I feel that the social security reform and the personal pension system implemented by the state have directly promoted the sales of our health insurance and pension insurance. In the sales process, customers have a stronger demand for hospital escort services and elderly care services than in the past, and we are in line with the general trend of population aging, so the industry is continuing to develop.
I'm in the medical industry, and I'm working in medical statistics.
The overall feeling is that compound talents are becoming more and more popular, only in our subdivision, it is absolutely not enough to understand only traditional statistics, artificial intelligence and machine learning skills to roll up, once felt that these are very far away from themselves, but after returning to school for further study, I was surprised that many of the current master's students have such skills.
In the future, I think the future of the medical industry is still bright, everyone is paying more and more attention to health, and the grand strategy of the best at all levels is also laying out this track, but the conservative thinking + waiting for the big pot of rice is estimated to be full.
My husband and I started an e-commerce business 4 years ago to do foreign markets. Now the overall environment is that economic growth is slowing down, consumption is downgrading, and foreign platforms are also all kinds of first-class wars. But that doesn't mean you can't make money from it.
First of all, it is certain to abandon the standard market. Most of the daily necessities belong to this category. We mainly do niche things, and the upfront customer analysis will be very important.
In addition, I also studied the live broadcast of a certain sound, and I feel that there are actually many opportunities, mainly to find a market segment that suits me.
I have been in the psychology industry for ten years, and now the development of Shenzhen is very good, doing course sales, and there are 30 50w a year in good times, but the unit price of the product is not high, and there are many students in the follow-up service, and I often work overtime late (non-mandatory) to 9 10 o'clock. Because the second child has to take the baby (the big one learns, and the small one sleeps at night) to the financing intermediary, in fact, it is a loan, the customer is fine, the income is high, the time is free, and it is relatively easy.
But changing careers requires excessive time, re-learning, and accumulating customers. To do sales, customer resources are the most important, and they should be accumulated more
Value is recognized.
At the end of 23, from the company that had served for three years, I got a new renewal contract. Coordinate the insurance industry. In the past two years, due to a series of regulatory adjustments, the company's business has also undergone some adjustments. It has also started to adjust the compression of operating costs, and some colleagues around me have left due to layoffs or job hopping.
For making money, in fact, it is not exactly making money, but more about the support and feedback for our own life by paying our own labor and being recognized by the labor market for our own value.
It's very, very important to have a good relationship with the people around you. Not only family relationships, but also colleague relationships. The money paid to us by the company is, on the one hand, a recognition of our value and contribution to the company; The willingness to keep us in the company is also a feedback on our "soft output" to build the company's workplace atmosphere.
Be a person who is needed by others and has a relatively stable core, and it is a habit to serve the people around you. At the same time, establish your own boundaries. It is more conducive to long-term survival in the workplace environment.
I live in Australia, so the economic environment may be a little different from that at home, but the same thing is that the economy has declined to a certain extent.
My husband and I both have stable jobs, so we need the right investments to increase our income. I heard that now domestic people have a wait-and-see attitude towards buying a house, but the current Australia is a good time to buy a house, because the bank interest rate is very high, there are some people who can't afford the heavy loan in the past few years, and the house price has been falling for a year.
At present, the rent is very high, and the rent-to-sale ratio of the house bought in the trough is also very good. This is my family's investment method, which may not be suitable for some cities, but I think there will always be some similar real estate that can be taken advantage of.
A little bit about making money :
At present, I have a stable job + leisure time to do a side hustle, and the side hustle income has been stable at about 7w per month in recent years.
It will be easier to make money in the field you love!
My current side hustle is to develop and make money in my hobbies, not only do I not feel tired, but also have a very sense of achievement, there is a steady stream of motivation, and I will even forget the time to do it, not only to earn money, but also to enrich my spiritual world, often receive praise from buyers, money and emotional value, of course, sometimes it will be more difficult to meet very unqualified buyers, especially at the beginning of the start is more difficult, perseverance will harvest more and more, so be sure to develop in the field you love, You'll last longer.
My husband and I are both in the tech industry. Our relationship has always been very sweet!
Probably many people feel that the tech industry is starting to go downhill because of the previous layoffs. But my husband and I's experience inside the industry is that the industry is still thriving. Especially now with the blessing of various artificial intelligence autonomous driving ARVR, I think it will continue to be popular!
My husband's annual salary as an executive in a large factory can be stable at millions of US dollars, and I am a senior programmer myself, with an annual stable salary of more than 400,000 US dollars. And there are a lot of people around us who are so well-paid. Personally, I think the best way to resist being replaced by a machine is to be friends with a machine.
Sisters who are better at science are worth considering entering the tech industry. Of course, at the same time, we must constantly learn and update ourselves to avoid the situation of not being competitive after the age of 35. My husband and I still take online classes at Stanford MIT together, reading books and news about new technologies and management. After working for so many years, studying really distinguishes ordinary people from those who have been moving up.
I hope you can continue to work hard and continue to grow in the Year of the Dragon!
What I want to share is the side hustle of private domain operation. Instead of waiting for a raise, give yourself a second choice. The companionship of children and financial independence can all be had. When I was blindly troubled and locked in with my salary, my former pregnant mother friend pulled me into her big-name goodies sharing group and picked up wool. After buying it a few times, the experience was good, so I asked a few words about what the profit model is, there is no free lunch in the world. Then there is the current community and platform to sell goods, I am just a sharer with flexible time, zero investment, transactions and after-sales are generated between customers and the platform.
I am a mother of two children, I have a lot of parenting experience, and I also know a lot about pediatrics, and I used to answer questions enthusiastically, so my community is mother-and-child, and my experience is to do my best and help others enthusiastically, so I will naturally gain the trust and support of others, and finally get some benefits.
Now there is only a small group, and the income is stable at around 6000. Although it is not much, it has really improved my income structure, greatly supplemented some of my family expenses, and I still have a little surplus. But be sure to screen carefully: let the people who pay the money are **!
Cheers for everyone's struggle!
