5 skills: personal stock value added skill, correlated skill with money, 1. Software consultant for businesses . For example notion consultant, teaching people use Notion and other softwares .You can learn it through CZcams. Learn by doing it. 2. Copywriting and Ghostwriting . 3. Designer. Web or graphics designer for websites or apps 4. Website builder 5. Coding. Suhail youtube channel 5.
This is the scariest thing I’ve ever seen. Is this channel actually promoting it’s self without any regard for other people that may have a few points of intelligence left. It’s a disgrace and will never be forgotten. Share these and it will hemorrhage quickly. I am typically not a hater, but look at this.
It's nice to see that he talked about this topic which is very relevant right now. I hope he would be proud of the book Achieve Your Dreams on Lexnory. No one knows who wrote the book, but the content is incredible.
You forgot the most important of the high income skills: marketing. Without being able to market yourself to businesses you can be a genius in all of these other skills but you won't even be seen; you have to be able to put yourself out there first.
@ZaidKhan-pb3ht that's true but it's not the kind of marketing I mean. Sure you can make killer texts to convince people to buy that product. But if you don't market that to the companies that want to sell the product; you're not going to have any customers. The most important skill will always be; being able to find and convince your customers that they need to spend money on you, whether that is a company or an individual.
@@dodopson3211 Remember, you cannot include everything in a video. And students don't want to get everything they need to know in a single video. Let's appreciate what's given. And perhaps, what you think was missing was already recorded before.
Having the skills is really important, but you also need to have proper motivation and proper strategy. Thankfully, this year I started my dropshipping business, and honestly it was really tough in the beginning. But patience and hard work (with a bit of winnerzila) is key to success!!
it is crazy to me that nowadays you can learn all those skills while you are still going to school. just the fact that you can make lots of money with something you just picked up from youtube! what a time to be a young person. i spent the last years learning fashion design, web development and coding, but as a person in my 40s people find it harder to believe that i am good at something i just learned.
00:01 Learn high income skills for financial success 01:39 High income skills increase personal stock price 05:14 Distinction between low and high income skills 06:59 Most universities do not teach high income skills 10:05 Focus on selling high income skills to businesses 11:46 High income skill: Being a software consultant for businesses 15:12 Learning how to use software can lead to high income skills for students. 16:49 Learning how to use HubSpot can lead to high-income skills. 20:24 Copywriting is a high income skill due to its impact on conversion rates and business revenue. 21:54 Design skills are highly valued by businesses for various assets and products. 24:48 High income skill: Website Builder 26:14 Web design and coding are high income skills. 29:16 Learning coding skills can lead to high income opportunities Crafted by Merlin AI.
Having the skills is important… but more important, you've to be able to sell them… and before that, the most important is to be able to find clients/prospects. I would love to ear you on that. Especially when you start from zero (no background, no portfolio, no network, no audience). …And if you don't want to spend years building that as this is not at all what you want to do, if it must be just a quick temporary way of getting money (assuming you have the skills).
Hey Ali, your take on boosting income as a student is so on point! Learning high-income skills not only changes the financial game but also adds so much value to our journey. Keep the awesome advice coming!
Over the past 10-15 years, I've been building a bunch of high value skills (I didn't realize throughout this time... I was just following skills that interested me). Marketing (email, organic and FB/IG ads), project management, online business operations (including some popular software programs like Asana, Canva, Convertkit, ActiveCampaign), graphic design, copywriting. It takes time to learn and practice these, but now I work from home part-time and get the same income as if I was working full time locally. And I can now use these skills to build something for myself. It's never a bad idea to learn any/all of these skills. Even if you aren't an expert in one of them, but you know a good amount of each, you will do great and get paid really well!
I had my own business communications company when I was in my 20s. I worked with small businesses in my area, writing annual reports, etc. Then, somehow, I got hooked up with a marketing agency that had some large business-to-business clients. He subcontracted a job to me from an international wall coverings company that sold to firms that built high rises, luxury hotels, resorts. They had a product line of 40 wall coverings, each with three color ways. My job was to come up with names for all of that. OH MY GOD! The money I made for just coming up with names for a bunch of wallpaper! It took me, maybe 15 to 20 hours, and I made a small fortune.
I have zero coding knowledge (only know some basic python) . If I were to start now, How long does it take to become good coder that can build products?
My question would be, how do you build skills while you're struggling to meet your daily needs. I'm a college dropout (I have 117 credits and I plan to finish) and right now, my rent alone is 60% of my income and that's the cheapest I could find within commute distance of my job. Luckily, I have affordable housing lined up but for the past few years, affording to take care of myself has been such a struggle that I don't feel like I have the bandwidth to branch out and do anything else. I've tried to teach myself various skills like music production, coding, graphic design, marketing, writing etc. because those are things that actually excite me but literally just surviving takes up so much of my attention that I haven't made very much progress on any of those skills. I know you'll probably say that I should focus on one skill. I will try to bunker down but I have ADHD and that makes it hard to stay interested/motivated in a single topic consistently. Whenever things get hard financially, which is typically once per quarter, I find that any type of attention I have for gaining skills goes out the window. It's already hard enough for me to keep up with daily chores, like groceries, cooking, laundry, and cleaning. I'm working to make these things routine but the ADHD makes it very draining to do chores. What would be your suggestion for balancing all these things in a way that gives me a decent level of progress and feedback which I definitely need to stay motivated.
Yeah that's the problem here with these videos... They only work for people who are kinda comfortable already.. if u have a disabled/sick person to take care of, or a debilitating illness whether physical or mental, or even living in not a first world country you can't apply them well.. but still, u have to try instead of complaining
well, maybe I am a marketing idiot but for the last 20 years I never earned 6 figures / year in a software engineering industry. Recently achieved half of it. Businesses here in Poland and in Europe basically don't pay such money. And they all require to have at least bachelor's degree in computer science. Clickbait?
Awesome video. I am self-taught Software Developer in the UK and I love what I do. Glad you mentioned developers in the video as one of the high income skills. What most developers including myself struggle with is coming up with good and valuable product ideas.

Thank you for this huge amount of information. A new subscriber with you who seeks change. Sometimes I am not good at solutions, sometimes I am good at it. Honestly, everything you do deserves thanks and praise♥️
This is great advice! my question is, after you’ve built the skill how do you go about finding the businesses that would be interested? Because he did say those free lancing sites may not be the best way to go about this,so how would you then target the businesses looking for your skills.
I definitely feel like people don't talk about how you can teach yourself skills and actually be successful with customers. I feel like there is a pressure that tells us we can only use and tell people we know something when we have gone to college for it only. I love how this channel has really opened my eyes on the fact that I can continue to learn things even without certificates or degrees and still be successful. Sometimes I feel like it's cheating, but in life it is actually okay to say you know something when you have taught yourself. Too many of us struggle with imposter syndrome which is truly sad and many wonderful people out there can't do what they truly want simply because they think they are not good enough.
Dear Ali and team, what a nicely arranged video: I love the color-scheme, the scribble-technic, and the many mini-advertisements for "THE book". Very cool. :-)
28:22 coding has changed my life in a two-year period since I decided to go full-time doing. I have been earning money as a dev for more than 10 years. I do have to say that the job market for a junior developer is very tough, even for a senior dev like me, things aren't easy right now. I know things will shift, but right now is not as easy as it was when I went at it full-time.

I don't think you should encourage people to view being a doctor as a 'low income skill'. It's valuable to society. I think more emphasis in gen z should be placed on how to improve society and make the world a better place not personal profit.
@@lh6842 He said being a doctor is a low income skill, and that's the truth. He added, that after years of practice it becomes a high value skill. That's also the truth. The title of the video is not about saving the moral values of the world, it's about the skills you'll benefit from, if you are student. In fact, you can still be a med student and aim for the skills he mentions.
IT may not be the best industry to get into given the layoffs and firings. WFH is going away and RTO is mandatory for most new jobs. Ever tried a medium or hard leetcode because your interviewer is 100% going to ask you random questions they found on that site. No one is paying for copywriting with GPT4 and ClaudeAI. Maybe they have 1 person who's paid to look over the outputs.
This is all cool, but the important thing is reaching out and finding clients, you need a system set which allows you to regularly look for clients and get new clients till you have enough high paying clients, that’s the main skill and you can learn it by doing but there aren’t enough resources on how to do that and avoiding the pitfalls
hello, where do you advertise youself?? how (or through what) do you contact the big businesses ??? freelance? (sorry if my english is not good im not a native speaker !)
Hello ! Even though the chances of you actually ever reading this comment are so small, I am SO SO grateful that you put this information out for free ! Just framing the whole world of options is of so much value Bigbig thank you from me ☀️ Greetings from 🇧🇪
True. My portfolio was diversified across several markets with the help of a financial planner, and were able to achieve over a million in net profit among high dividend yield equities, ETFs, and bonds. It is vital that you have a variety of exposure, including in firms that are currently generating cash flows.
How fortunate we are! It was simple to locate your guidance. I researched her well before we spoke on the phone. Her resume suggests that she may be qualified.
These things are easier said than done. I have designers and all who have been laid off because of AI. A high income skill without good demand coupled with poor marketing of skills make a lot of people fail.
Thanks, Ali. I always thought as a student making money would be tough, as lot of people juggle through jobs, yet you mentioned amazing people and their craft in the niches, sparks curiosity and confidence and motivates me to learn and strive for a better life. I'll notify you guys, after 6 months.
I’m heading back to school to focus on Digital Skills for the purposes of adding high income skills to my tool belt. Thank you for the video and reminder. I’m in Scotland and the wages in the UK are my main motivator to stop basing my income on the jobs available locally.
I would love it if you addressed the actual demand for some of these skills more. I'm trying not to automatically be a skeptic or go into all the reasons why something might now work out because I know that mindset will stop me from achieving anything, but it seems like Design (esp ux/ui and web design) is a very very tough market at this point. I've seen youtubers talking about this as well as other forums where senior designers with lots of experience are having a very tough time finding jobs. Granted, you are speaking more as being an entrepreneur but I imagine if a job market is tough for a skill then demand for it in general is down. It also seems like actual hiring for coders/developers is tough. And I'm very curious about the experience of many copywriters in this new AI age. I'm also interested in why you focused on coding to create a product -- it seems like lots of entrpreneurs recommend not doing the coding yourself and focus on the business aspects. Despite my apprehensions thank you for this video, it's given me a lot of inspiration and motivation
Exactly. Everything you said is much wiser than what Ali is selling here, making money off of desperate CZcams views instead of providing realistic advice.
This is probably the most useful and concise video I seen in the last year or two. You gave really revelent information for opportunities that anyone can use. 🙏
Amazing video Ali, as much as I have learnt most of the skills my only issue has been finding Quality Clients. Like how can we find those businesses making at least 8 figures? I mean not the $5-$10 an hour kind of clients but $1k-10k a month going up. I also do understand you have to be good and provide value and make the business more money but for someone who's starting out and transitioning to the freelance low paying gigs to high paying clients how do you start the search?
Yeah it's an unrealistic video like all of his money ones because he focuses on the ridiculous amount of money a very rare few people are able to make at some of these skills. How in the world to break into super successful businesses wanting to hire you is the key and would be a video he doesn't know how to make.
😅Ali Abdaal one of the few CZcamsrs I wonder if he's at speed x1.5 when it is "normal speed" I got nearly every skill you talk about - except for coding which I'm not so good at - I feel like a high income swiss knife 🙃 ❤Also I love your content and your book man will you write another one ?
While I would love to start in one of the fields mentioned in the Video (and have already acquired the skills needed), I don’t have any Idea how to market myself. How can I put myself out there without looking cheap/ inexperienced?
Based on what I see around a lot of people have started looking like that at the beginning. You just grow in quality with time. Be open to show up with vulnerability
Hey Ali! Your videos are really inspiring and helpful. I have been trying to learn web development for a year now. But I haven't been able to make progress as compared to the time I have spent so far. As I could not be consistent with the skill due to my academic studies. I am 23 now and I am afraid if I am late to learn such a high income skill, or I'll be able to learn it at all.
Hi, you mention combining web design with web development to be a unicorn. Do you have any advice for where to start with that? Would you suggest beginning with the design or development side?
Hello! First of all, it's a very nice, inspiring video! I recently finished High School and will be joining university soon. I have started to learn coding kind of on my own because this is what I will be doing in university (Computer Eng) But I also want to start making some money while I am learning and strengthening my programming skills. This is where your other videos on side hustles and web development have given me the inspiration to give it a go! However, I don't really know where to start reaching out to companies. How do I target the right audience and make my limited (for now hopefully) skill still sound appealing to businesses? Thanks!
Network with different people from some companies. See what their business needs and availability are. Learn about how they collaborate with external partners. Try to find out what skills are in demand. Target people from both startups and big companies. I think people would appreciate you're so young and playing so smart and the good people will talk to you. Good luck ^^
Ali, your video is great but I fail to see how any of this is relevant. All the people you mentioned are almost pre-AI/market saturation so they were already at an advantage when they started. I also found it interesting that one of the high income skills you mentioned was web design/building while being sponsored by a platform that builds your own website without you needing to code. I usually love your videos but there’s a fine line between putting out content that’s actually relevant and helpful vs just putting out content.
This is literally the best explained video about skills a student should try and I am sooo glad i found it. I'll definitely try to learn one or two of these. Thank you for your content. Really helps me as an 18 year old to grow :D
Thank you so much Ali sir. I have been learning to code to become a website developer but I was so perplexed that I thought it was not the right skill in 2024, but now I will learn it with full energy. Love from Pakistan ❤.
Ali I am a Web Designer. Just starting out, I want to make ridiculously amount of money but I don't know how to sell my services to big clients because I don't have relevant experience...
so you'll likely never see this comment, but i felt like i had to tell you that as of late, you have adopted (or are portraying) a much more easy going, fun, quietly confident energy that makes it much more enjoyable to watch the entirety of your videos. that's not to say that your videos were bad or anything, but before it was as if you were trying to present the most polished version of relatability possible to an already jaded audience (in my opinion, anyway, haha). i dunno if something shifted for you--perhaps being a bestseller?? ☺--but whatever it is, you're coming off much funnier and more authentic than ever. really enjoying the content.
Equip yourself with high-income skills and secure a prosperous future. Fantastic insights! Mastering high-income skills like Software Consulting, Writing, Design, Website Building, and Coding in 2024 can transform students' careers. Each skill opens lucrative opportunities: Software Consulting for tech solutions, Writing for impactful content creation, Design for visual communication, Website Building for online presence, and Coding for software development. Investing in these skills not only enhances employability but also provides a solid foundation for entrepreneurial ventures.
Hey Ali, great video as always you do, but in all the skills, i got the same question for all of them, that is, how to find this first client without experience?, do you recomend to use some kind of freelance platforms? or doing with other techniques ? thank you so much for you content!!
I lost over $80k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong. It took me over two years of being in the market, I'm really grateful I found one source to recover my money, at least $10k profits weekly. Thanks Charlotte Miller.
She is my family's personal broker and also a personal broker in many families I'm United States, she's a licensed broker and a FINRA AGENT in United states
I'm surprised that you just mentioned and recommended Charlotte Miller, I met her at a conference in 2018 and we have been working together ever since.
Great Video… you made me realise i am not selling my skills to the right clients or even utilising them enough… maybe your next video can be finding the right clients ;)
I know people who have both wen designing and web developing skills but are barely making any money out of it. I think even if you have great high income skills, its not of any use if your market cant find you. There should also be videos and education on how to use/make money out of your skills you already have. Like whats the next step?
It’s all about connecting with the right client. I didn’t really start to make money until I got into the midsize-to-large business-to-business world is where the money is. I got in through hooking up with a marketing agency that happened to have some major clients. Also, a local company that had a unique product that businesses across the whole country use (in this case, circular slide rules). I could write annual reports for teeny local concerns, work ‘way harder, and make nothing-or do less work for a huge company and make 10 times as much. The work still had to be excellent, but it is ‘way less effort to write a three-panel brochure for a national corporation than it is to write, say, annual reports for a local nonprofit. It’s not the market finding you. It’s you finding your market. Persistence, networking and making authentic connections. Learning something about sales is extremely helpful. Even things like Toastmasters builds confidence and teaches you how to present yourself in public.
Hey, as a professional athlete, do we also have a personal stock price even if we are unsuccessful and struggling to get our break? And if so how would it be helpful for us to leverage that? I know, I can use my skills as a personal trainer, coach, etc. But what about other aspects of income sources? If I'm making any sense😅. Love your content btw, have been following you for almost two years now.
Examine your talents and skills. I too am a 20 year old. I was in your shoes. I decided to tutor students on the subjects that I knew I was good in, and now I earn more than my parents per month.

@@Tushar_995 Hi, I am not doing it online, I am doing it in my local neighbourhood... English tutor in my town here in South Africa. I have classes from as 1 person up to 8 people per class Monday to Saturday. And I only work for about 4 hours per day. I also take the holidays off and I still get paid. I also teach voice lessons on Saturdays. And when I am lucky, I get booked to sing at a wedding or an important event. My next plan is to work 5 hours per day, introducing homework classes for grade 1 and 2s this upcoming term.
I was desperately thinking of having at least one skill out of those 5, and surprisingly I had the last one i.e coding. I've started teaching myself about coding, and I'm 'getting good gradually. Love from Pakistan🇵🇰.
but if i have these skills how can i promote them? how can i find companies/clients? how can i let the world know about me and choose to buy my service/product or hire me?
should i start doing copy writing for businesses now with out exp, or should I self-publish on social media for a while and then decide whether to do copywriting
I already have 1, 4 and 5, which is software, web development and coding, and I'm 19 and still can't find a job because i'm too young they say. I've even applied 10K + jobs literally, nothing has happened.

Thanks a lot Ali for the value that you bring to us. I want to sell my services as a virtual assistant but selling is my biggest fear. I don’t know how to sell, and I don’t want to show my face to create content about that…
People are attracted to humans and human faces and they tends to watch content that include this. There are options to create content without showing your face. You can look into that. But working with another human people want to see that human. It helps with trust.

Choose wisely. I chose video editing a while back because of videos like this one. Little did I know how little it pays. If you live in low cost of living country like India, it's a fantastic skill to have. But not here in the US. You can move to LA or NY, but I imagine most who watch these videos want to work from home.

Sadly Architects is a low income skill! Especially architects with less than 5 years of experience. Simply there are too many (young) architects and not enough quality buildings being development. So when you are choosing something choose a career/degree that the median's income and lifestyle is what you want and need. Don't look at the top 1% and the glitz and glamour like how I did, thinking it will be different for me. Although I love architecture design, but I hate the profession. So now I'm actually leaving the profession in pursuit of finding something that fits my current lifestyle and financial needs. Likely for me, there are tons of "new school" in demand jobs and roles that weren't available when I was choosing my university degree. The area of entry is not as hard as a full bachelor and master degree like how it is in "old school" professions. I see plenty of opportunities, you just have to be flexible and look at the market and what it needs. Edit: I just finished the video and funny thing I'm already taking courses to become a UX/Product designer, which is not so hard to switch from architecture giving my intensive design mindset and skills. I love design, business and tech and UX/Product design combines these! I know already plenty of my classmates who switched to Digital product design and they have never been happier! :D

You forgot the most important of the high income skills: marketing.
Without being able to market yourself to businesses you can be a genius in all of these other skills but you won't even be seen; you have to be able to put yourself out there first.
Copywriting is a form of marketing
Copywriting is digital marketing
@ZaidKhan-pb3ht that's true but it's not the kind of marketing I mean.
Sure you can make killer texts to convince people to buy that product. But if you don't market that to the companies that want to sell the product; you're not going to have any customers.
The most important skill will always be; being able to find and convince your customers that they need to spend money on you, whether that is a company or an individual.

it is crazy to me that nowadays you can learn all those skills while you are still going to school. just the fact that you can make lots of money with something you just picked up from youtube! what a time to be a young person. i spent the last years learning fashion design, web development and coding, but as a person in my 40s people find it harder to believe that i am good at something i just learned.
Where did u learn web development perfectly form?

Having the skills is important… but more important, you've to be able to sell them… and before that, the most important is to be able to find clients/prospects. I would love to ear you on that. Especially when you start from zero (no background, no portfolio, no network, no audience). …And if you don't want to spend years building that as this is not at all what you want to do, if it must be just a quick temporary way of getting money (assuming you have the skills).
Can I ask how do you find clients and everything that you said 😊
Hey Ali, your take on boosting income as a student is so on point! Learning high-income skills not only changes the financial game but also adds so much value to our journey. Keep the awesome advice coming!
Over the past 10-15 years, I've been building a bunch of high value skills (I didn't realize throughout this time... I was just following skills that interested me).
Marketing (email, organic and FB/IG ads), project management, online business operations (including some popular software programs like Asana, Canva, Convertkit, ActiveCampaign), graphic design, copywriting.
It takes time to learn and practice these, but now I work from home part-time and get the same income as if I was working full time locally.
And I can now use these skills to build something for myself.
It's never a bad idea to learn any/all of these skills. Even if you aren't an expert in one of them, but you know a good amount of each, you will do great and get paid really well!
"and I can now use the skills to build something for myself" THISSSS IS THE KEY
how do you learn marketing skills pls
I had my own business communications company when I was in my 20s. I worked with small businesses in my area, writing annual reports, etc. Then, somehow, I got hooked up with a marketing agency that had some large business-to-business clients. He subcontracted a job to me from an international wall coverings company that sold to firms that built high rises, luxury hotels, resorts. They had a product line of 40 wall coverings, each with three color ways. My job was to come up with names for all of that. OH MY GOD! The money I made for just coming up with names for a bunch of wallpaper! It took me, maybe 15 to 20 hours, and I made a small fortune.
somehow?

After a whole day of coding, it's time to relax and watch an Ali's video
I have zero coding knowledge (only know some basic python) . If I were to start now, How long does it take to become good coder that can build products?
@@shiyaml4551 you always keep learning, after coding for 5y, i still can't say i'm a good coder
And Ali is telling to code 😄
@@shiyaml4551 months
@@shiyaml4551 it depends on the person. a lot of people try and never become good coders. if its your thing you can pick it up quickly. just try it.
My question would be, how do you build skills while you're struggling to meet your daily needs. I'm a college dropout (I have 117 credits and I plan to finish) and right now, my rent alone is 60% of my income and that's the cheapest I could find within commute distance of my job. Luckily, I have affordable housing lined up but for the past few years, affording to take care of myself has been such a struggle that I don't feel like I have the bandwidth to branch out and do anything else. I've tried to teach myself various skills like music production, coding, graphic design, marketing, writing etc. because those are things that actually excite me but literally just surviving takes up so much of my attention that I haven't made very much progress on any of those skills. I know you'll probably say that I should focus on one skill. I will try to bunker down but I have ADHD and that makes it hard to stay interested/motivated in a single topic consistently. Whenever things get hard financially, which is typically once per quarter, I find that any type of attention I have for gaining skills goes out the window. It's already hard enough for me to keep up with daily chores, like groceries, cooking, laundry, and cleaning. I'm working to make these things routine but the ADHD makes it very draining to do chores. What would be your suggestion for balancing all these things in a way that gives me a decent level of progress and feedback which I definitely need to stay motivated.
Yeah that's the problem here with these videos... They only work for people who are kinda comfortable already.. if u have a disabled/sick person to take care of, or a debilitating illness whether physical or mental, or even living in not a first world country you can't apply them well.. but still, u have to try instead of complaining
Everything will be good brother just keep trusting yourself and God (Allah) .
well, maybe I am a marketing idiot but for the last 20 years I never earned 6 figures / year in a software engineering industry. Recently achieved half of it. Businesses here in Poland and in Europe basically don't pay such money. And they all require to have at least bachelor's degree in computer science. Clickbait?
Awesome video. I am self-taught Software Developer in the UK and I love what I do. Glad you mentioned developers in the video as one of the high income skills. What most developers including myself struggle with is coming up with good and valuable product ideas.

I definitely feel like people don't talk about how you can teach yourself skills and actually be successful with customers. I feel like there is a pressure that tells us we can only use and tell people we know something when we have gone to college for it only. I love how this channel has really opened my eyes on the fact that I can continue to learn things even without certificates or degrees and still be successful. Sometimes I feel like it's cheating, but in life it is actually okay to say you know something when you have taught yourself. Too many of us struggle with imposter syndrome which is truly sad and many wonderful people out there can't do what they truly want simply because they think they are not good enough.

I don't think you should encourage people to view being a doctor as a 'low income skill'. It's valuable to society. I think more emphasis in gen z should be placed on how to improve society and make the world a better place not personal profit.
That’s on society.
It is a low income skill sadly.
If you want people to not view it this way then maybe doctors salaries should be raised.
Not talking about it is not the solution to that sadly and won't change the fact that it is low income
I completely agree with this. I think Ali could be more aware of the messages he is sending out.
@@lh6842 Thanks, glad its not just me who feels this way
@@lh6842 He said being a doctor is a low income skill, and that's the truth. He added, that after years of practice it becomes a high value skill. That's also the truth.
The title of the video is not about saving the moral values of the world, it's about the skills you'll benefit from, if you are student. In fact, you can still be a med student and aim for the skills he mentions.
IT may not be the best industry to get into given the layoffs and firings. WFH is going away and RTO is mandatory for most new jobs. Ever tried a medium or hard leetcode because your interviewer is 100% going to ask you random questions they found on that site. No one is paying for copywriting with GPT4 and ClaudeAI. Maybe they have 1 person who's paid to look over the outputs.
This is all cool, but the important thing is reaching out and finding clients, you need a system set which allows you to regularly look for clients and get new clients till you have enough high paying clients, that’s the main skill and you can learn it by doing but there aren’t enough resources on how to do that and avoiding the pitfalls

I'd recommend to add subtitles to videos.. since some draw a foreign audience... Immersive translate generates them for free.
There's always so much value in your videos. Thank you once again Ali ❤
Good companies are in my portfolio, however this year it has been stagnant. I need to grow the about $600k that is sitting in my reserve.
Everybody has erred at some point. It's wise that you think about financial planning.
True. My portfolio was diversified across several markets with the help of a financial planner, and were able to achieve over a million in net profit among high dividend yield equities, ETFs, and bonds. It is vital that you have a variety of exposure, including in firms that are currently generating cash flows.

How fortunate we are! It was simple to locate your guidance. I researched her well before we spoke on the phone. Her resume suggests that she may be qualified.
These things are easier said than done. I have designers and all who have been laid off because of AI. A high income skill without good demand coupled with poor marketing of skills make a lot of people fail.
Thank you man, and thanks for sharing people we could follow to learn more. I feel like this will help me a lot.

I'll notify you guys, after 6 months.
I’m heading back to school to focus on Digital Skills for the purposes of adding high income skills to my tool belt. Thank you for the video and reminder. I’m in Scotland and the wages in the UK are my main motivator to stop basing my income on the jobs available locally.
and now you'll be competing with everyone else in the world....good thinking! 👌
I would love it if you addressed the actual demand for some of these skills more. I'm trying not to automatically be a skeptic or go into all the reasons why something might now work out because I know that mindset will stop me from achieving anything, but it seems like Design (esp ux/ui and web design) is a very very tough market at this point. I've seen youtubers talking about this as well as other forums where senior designers with lots of experience are having a very tough time finding jobs. Granted, you are speaking more as being an entrepreneur but I imagine if a job market is tough for a skill then demand for it in general is down. It also seems like actual hiring for coders/developers is tough. And I'm very curious about the experience of many copywriters in this new AI age. I'm also interested in why you focused on coding to create a product -- it seems like lots of entrpreneurs recommend not doing the coding yourself and focus on the business aspects. Despite my apprehensions thank you for this video, it's given me a lot of inspiration and motivation
Well said. Finding the clients is the trick. I think is more lucrative to learn the skills and then starting your own business with it.
Exactly. Everything you said is much wiser than what Ali is selling here, making money off of desperate CZcams views instead of providing realistic advice.

Amazing video Ali, as much as I have learnt most of the skills my only issue has been finding Quality Clients. Like how can we find those businesses making at least 8 figures? I mean not the $5-$10 an hour kind of clients but $1k-10k a month going up. I also do understand you have to be good and provide value and make the business more money but for someone who's starting out and transitioning to the freelance low paying gigs to high paying clients how do you start the search?
Yeah it's an unrealistic video like all of his money ones because he focuses on the ridiculous amount of money a very rare few people are able to make at some of these skills. How in the world to break into super successful businesses wanting to hire you is the key and would be a video he doesn't know how to make.
😅Ali Abdaal one of the few CZcamsrs I wonder if he's at speed x1.5 when it is "normal speed"

Based on what I see around a lot of people have started looking like that at the beginning. You just grow in quality with time. Be open to show up with vulnerability

Hey Ali! Your videos are really inspiring and helpful. I have been trying to learn web development for a year now. But I haven't been able to make progress as compared to the time I have spent so far. As I could not be consistent with the skill due to my academic studies. I am 23 now and I am afraid if I am late to learn such a high income skill, or I'll be able to learn it at all.
How is copywriting and ghostwriting still relevant when we have ChatGPT that can write anything? Genuine question
Hi, you mention combining web design with web development to be a unicorn. Do you have any advice for where to start with that? Would you suggest beginning with the design or development side?
Hello! First of all, it's a very nice, inspiring video! I recently finished High School and will be joining university soon. I have started to learn coding kind of on my own because this is what I will be doing in university (Computer Eng) But I also want to start making some money while I am learning and strengthening my programming skills. This is where your other videos on side hustles and web development have given me the inspiration to give it a go!
However, I don't really know where to start reaching out to companies. How do I target the right audience and make my limited (for now hopefully) skill still sound appealing to businesses?
Thanks!
Network with different people from some companies. See what their business needs and availability are. Learn about how they collaborate with external partners. Try to find out what skills are in demand. Target people from both startups and big companies. I think people would appreciate you're so young and playing so smart and the good people will talk to you. Good luck ^^
Your handwriting is good given that you are a doctor ....
I have a question: should I learn them all or learn one and focus on it ?? Plz answer
And Ali you are so helpful, thank you❤
Ali, your video is great but I fail to see how any of this is relevant. All the people you mentioned are almost pre-AI/market saturation so they were already at an advantage when they started. I also found it interesting that one of the high income skills you mentioned was web design/building while being sponsored by a platform that builds your own website without you needing to code. I usually love your videos but there’s a fine line between putting out content that’s actually relevant and helpful vs just putting out content.
you're right! you haven't received any value from this!

so you'll likely never see this comment, but i felt like i had to tell you that as of late, you have adopted (or are portraying) a much more easy going, fun, quietly confident energy that makes it much more enjoyable to watch the entirety of your videos. that's not to say that your videos were bad or anything, but before it was as if you were trying to present the most polished version of relatability possible to an already jaded audience (in my opinion, anyway, haha). i dunno if something shifted for you--perhaps being a bestseller?? ☺--but whatever it is, you're coming off much funnier and more authentic than ever. really enjoying the content.

I lost over $80k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong. It took me over two years of being in the market, I'm really grateful I found one source to recover my money, at least $10k profits weekly. Thanks Charlotte Miller.

Great Video… you made me realise i am not selling my skills to the right clients or even utilising them enough… maybe your next video can be finding the right clients ;)
That is the big challenge. Because without people who trust in your potential in knowledge, it's though. I guess research networking may help?!
I know people who have both wen designing and web developing skills but are barely making any money out of it. I think even if you have great high income skills, its not of any use if your market cant find you. There should also be videos and education on how to use/make money out of your skills you already have. Like whats the next step?
You're right.
It’s all about connecting with the right client. I didn’t really start to make money until I got into the midsize-to-large business-to-business world is where the money is. I got in through hooking up with a marketing agency that happened to have some major clients. Also, a local company that had a unique product that businesses across the whole country use (in this case, circular slide rules). I could write annual reports for teeny local concerns, work ‘way harder, and make nothing-or do less work for a huge company and make 10 times as much. The work still had to be excellent, but it is ‘way less effort to write a three-panel brochure for a national corporation than it is to write, say, annual reports for a local nonprofit. It’s not the market finding you. It’s you finding your market. Persistence, networking and making authentic connections. Learning something about sales is extremely helpful. Even things like Toastmasters builds confidence and teaches you how to present yourself in public.
How about you make a video about how medical doctors/ junior doctors can increase their stock price
Hey, as a professional athlete, do we also have a personal stock price even if we are unsuccessful and struggling to get our break? And if so how would it be helpful for us to leverage that?

@felixluk3167 He has a video called “How to make 10k per month as a student” where he goes through that.
I was just wondering which skill should I learn and then your video popped up 😊
Choose wisely. I chose video editing a while back because of videos like this one. Little did I know how little it pays. If you live in low cost of living country like India, it's a fantastic skill to have. But not here in the US. You can move to LA or NY, but I imagine most who watch these videos want to work from home.
@@ShelterDogs yup I am from India it's getting hard to choose one thing I'm confused 😕 coding, video editing,3d animation 😂 ...
Thanks for your suggestion!!

Hi Ali I love your channel and the topics you are discussing. I wish the music volume was lower
Sadly Architects is a low income skill! Especially architects with less than 5 years of experience. Simply there are too many (young) architects and not enough quality buildings being development. So when you are choosing something choose a career/degree that the median's income and lifestyle is what you want and need. Don't look at the top 1% and the glitz and glamour like how I did, thinking it will be different for me.
Although I love architecture design, but I hate the profession. So now I'm actually leaving the profession in pursuit of finding something that fits my current lifestyle and financial needs. Likely for me, there are tons of "new school" in demand jobs and roles that weren't available when I was choosing my university degree. The area of entry is not as hard as a full bachelor and master degree like how it is in "old school" professions. I see plenty of opportunities, you just have to be flexible and look at the market and what it needs.
Edit: I just finished the video and funny thing I'm already taking courses to become a UX/Product designer, which is not so hard to switch from architecture giving my intensive design mindset and skills. I love design, business and tech and UX/Product design combines these! I know already plenty of my classmates who switched to Digital product design and they have never been happier! :D
But how do you get customers having zero experience ?
hahaha, "increased watch time." Bro, your contents are valuable. The time that you put into making this with the knowledge that you have is already worth the watch.
Thanks @aliabdaal for the video - lots of helpful information and ideas. I have a finance question for Melina: How does a software consultant based in the UK whose South American clients pay in US dollars file her taxes? Legitimately curious, thanks for your help!
Really good video glad a watched it through, the money people me are making out here would blow the minds of your everyday 9-5 worker
