Come Guadagnare 10K Mentre Studi (In Maniera Semplice) — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00If you are currently a student and in a
- 0:02few years you don't want to end up like
- 0:05the vast majority of people around you
- 0:07—broke, stressed, and always chasing
- 0:10the next paycheck—at this stage of
- 0:12your life, you should focus on one
- 0:14single thing: earning your first €
- 0:1610,000. When I started university, I
- 0:19had to begin supporting myself, and I
- 0:20didn't have a single euro saved or any
- 0:22shred of qualification. I was studying
- 0:24at the time, but I had enormous
- 0:26ambition, and instead of losing my mind
- 0:28over those videos that promise you
- 0:30Lamborghinis only to leave you with
- 0:32nothing, I set myself a smaller,
- 0:34achievable goal: earning my first €
- 0:3610,000. And I remember from that
- 0:38experience that it was, one, extremely
- 0:40difficult, and two, the most important
- 0:42thing in my life, because I understood
- 0:44how to do it once and knew then that I
- 0:46could repeat it infinitely. And the
- 0:48most absurd thing is that it will be
- 0:49much easier for you, as a student, than
- 0:51for 40-year-olds with a job. In this
- 0:53video, I will show you exactly, step by
- 0:55step, what I would do today to earn my
- 0:58first 10k. Let's begin. Okay. When we
- 1:01strip away the noise of crypto, the
- 1:03absurd startup dreams, and the fake
- 1:05gurus in Dubai living in rented studios
- 1:07, there are only four real ways to make
- 1:09your first money as a student; and
- 1:11three of these have a limit you don't
- 1:12see until you hit it, but we'll talk
- 1:14about that in a moment. The first way
- 1:17is providing services to people, so we
- 1:19have the absolute classics: tutoring,
- 1:21working as a personal trainer at the
- 1:23gym, deliveries, pet sitting, nail tech
- 1:25work, and event photography. Okay, I
- 1:27know these things seem trivial to you,
- 1:29but they are the fastest ways to get
- 1:30paid. They cost very little to start,
- 1:32you need a skill you can learn quite
- 1:34quickly, but they aren't the best way
- 1:36to reach those € 10,000. The first
- 1:37€ 1,000 comes from these classic ways
- 1:39. The problem is that you are chained
- 1:41to your city, you work for one person,
- 1:42and then there's a cap, which is your
- 1:44time—you can't have more than 24
- 1:45hours in a day, so there's a limit. The
- 1:48second way is selling products made by
- 1:50you. Homemade cakes, crafts, prints,
- 1:53mugs, farm-to-table produce if you have
- 1:55a plot of land somewhere—in short,
- 1:57your own stuff. It’s beautiful. But
- 1:59if you enjoy doing it, it costs you a
- 2:01lot of time, materials eat up your
- 2:02profits, and you put in so many hours
- 2:04for just a few pennies. Third, we sell
- 2:06global products using the internet.
- 2:10Dropshipping, print on demand, sneaker
- 2:12reselling, your own clothing brand.
- 2:15Things get much bigger here and a bit
- 2:16more interesting too, because
- 2:18effectively, the whole world can buy
- 2:19from you. But the catch, even in this
- 2:22case, is that often you first have to
- 2:23spend a lot of money to be able to earn
- 2:25; maybe you have to buy 10 items to
- 2:26resell them. In short, it becomes quite
- 2:29a mess and it takes a lot of time
- 2:30before you see any real profit. Here
- 2:32too, the ceiling is capital and your
- 2:34patience. So we have three that have a
- 2:37limit, they put a ceiling over your
- 2:38head which could be capital, margins,
- 2:40or your time, while the fourth way is
- 2:41the only one that, as a student, leaves
- 2:43you infinite growth margins and is the
- 2:44easiest. So the question becomes: "What
- 2:47is this fourth path that is so easy and
- 2:49favorable for me as a student?" And the
- 2:51fourth path, my friend, is online
- 2:53services. Writing copy that sells,
- 2:56editing someone's videos, creating
- 2:58thumbnails, or managing someone's ads
- 3:00or social media. They are the only
- 3:02thing that takes the best from the
- 3:04other three and throws away the worst.
- 3:05Because with online services, you get
- 3:07high margins from personal services; in
- 3:09the end, you are selling your head and
- 3:10your intelligence. From global products
- 3:13, like dropshipping, you get the
- 3:15ability to reach the whole world via
- 3:16the internet, and from local products,
- 3:18you get the fact that it is your own
- 3:20product, so it's not something you buy
- 3:22from someone else. But now I must be
- 3:24completely honest with you; I'm not
- 3:26telling you that I'm earning money
- 3:28online while sitting in my pajamas
- 3:29doing my own thing, no. I'm telling you
- 3:31that this is real work, where you still
- 3:33have to bust your ass with real clients
- 3:35who demand things. But it's a type of
- 3:37work that we will see shortly, one by
- 3:39one, with the best effort-to-reward
- 3:40ratio, and it is absolutely the best
- 3:42thing for those starting completely
- 3:44from scratch. And if a lightbulb has
- 3:47gone off for you so far like "Oh wow, I
- 3:48can do something really cool," remember
- 3:50to subscribe to the channel because
- 3:51that's what I do here every week. I
- 3:54take abstract and complicated stuff and
- 3:56make it simple and, above all, concrete
- 3:58. Okay, now let's see where everyone
- 4:00hits a wall, which is? "Yeah, but I
- 4:02don't know how to do anything good
- 4:03enough to get paid online." What? That
- 4:07is exactly the wrong way of thinking
- 4:08when you approach this. In fact, the
- 4:11service that I could go and sell online
- 4:12lies exactly where three things
- 4:14intersect. Question one, what am I
- 4:16better at than the average person?
- 4:18Question two: what would you be willing
- 4:19to learn for free just for the pleasure
- 4:21of doing it? Question three: what
- 4:23problem do companies have every single
- 4:25day? Where do these three questions
- 4:27intersect? That is where the service
- 4:29you can sell exists. And so as not to
- 4:31be vague, here are the services that
- 4:33online companies are looking for the
- 4:34most today, and that you can concretely
- 4:36start with. Number one, video editing.
- 4:39I say this from experience: YouTube
- 4:41editing, short video editing, and reels
- 4:43editing. I have at least five editors
- 4:45working on my channel, and three of
- 4:46them are university students.
- 4:48Thumbnails and graphics for short-form
- 4:50videos. In Italy, nobody knows how to
- 4:52make good thumbnails, so if you apply
- 4:54yourself and learn to make them as well
- 4:55as the ones you see on my channel—
- 4:56which no Italians are currently doing
- 4:58—write to me; I would be very happy
- 4:59to have you work with me. Number three,
- 5:01copywriting. Learn how the world of
- 5:05text works, the world of video scripts,
- 5:07how a hook works, how retention works,
- 5:09and how call-to-actions work. You have
- 5:13to hustle a little bit, but look,
- 5:14everything is available for free online
- 5:15, and there are plenty of people
- 5:17willing to pay for well-written content
- 5:18. I am the first one. Ad management.
- 5:22Today, with various clouds like GPT and
- 5:23Gemini, you can learn to manage ads
- 5:25extremely fast—meaning ad campaigns
- 5:26on Meta or Google for those selling
- 5:28online—because the vast majority of
- 5:30companies, the small businesses, don't
- 5:31know how to do it. And still staying
- 5:34online, we have social media management
- 5:36. There, too, it’s about creating and
- 5:38managing content for small businesses,
- 5:39and you don't need to learn them all;
- 5:41you just need one where the three
- 5:42skills we saw earlier intersect. So,
- 5:44now you have a skill and maybe your
- 5:46first client, the next question is: "
- 5:47Okay, but they only pay me € 50 for
- 5:49that little job, how do I get to €
- 5:5110,000?" There is a huge gap, and
- 5:52nobody explains how to bridge it, but
- 5:54I’ll take care of that now. And to
- 5:56transform those € 50 services into
- 5:58€ 10,000, you can use four levers, or
- 6:00rather, four tools that multiply your
- 6:02efforts. The first is positioning, and
- 6:05hold on tight, because the exact same
- 6:07service can be sold for € 50 or €
- 6:095,000, and most of the time, it doesn't
- 6:11depend on how good you are, but on who
- 6:13is in front of you—who your client is
- 6:15. In fact, what you need to know—and
- 6:18remember this for the rest of your life
- 6:20, I tell you from experience because
- 6:22when I discovered it, it changed my
- 6:23life—is that companies don't think
- 6:25about money like individual people do.
- 6:28For a company billing 30, 40, 50, or
- 6:30€ 100,000 a month, spending € 2,000
- 6:32or € 5,000 to solve a problem isn't
- 6:35an expense, it's an investment, a
- 6:37multiplier. Because if solving that
- 6:39problem makes them more money, why
- 6:40wouldn't they spend it? Not a
- 6:42copywriter who makes € 2 texts with
- 6:44ChatGPT, but a copywriter who creates
- 6:46texts that make companies sell. Lever
- 6:48number two is value. Companies don't
- 6:50pay for your effort or how much time
- 6:52you spend, get that through your head.
- 6:54Companies pay for the value you create
- 6:56for them. So stop—or trust me—never
- 6:58start charging by the hour, but get
- 7:00paid for the value you create. For
- 7:02example, managing a company's
- 7:03advertising campaigns. If you charge by
- 7:05the hour, they will try to make you
- 7:06work as few hours as possible, to set a
- 7:08limit. But if you charge based on the
- 7:09results you bring them, on the revenue
- 7:11you generate with your ads, suddenly
- 7:13the person paying you no longer thinks
- 7:14about how much you cost, but how much
- 7:16they earn. You’ll gladly pay more to
- 7:18someone who makes you money. If you
- 7:19cost me 10 and make me earn 20, I’ll
- 7:21pay you forever—why wouldn't I? But
- 7:23positioning and value, unfortunately,
- 7:25are useless without the other two
- 7:27levers, because 95%of people either
- 7:29deliver late or cannot be found by
- 7:31others, and that immediately burns all
- 7:33opportunities. So, lever number three
- 7:36simply consists of making yourself
- 7:37found, because the game isn't chasing
- 7:39your clients hat in hand, but making
- 7:41sure they are the ones looking for you.
- 7:42And to do that, what can you do? Use
- 7:45social media, post your work always—
- 7:46even if you're just starting, even if
- 7:48it sucks—show the process you're
- 7:49going through. Do you edit videos? Show
- 7:51the before and after. Do you make
- 7:53thumbnails? Explain why that one got
- 7:55more clicks. Man, there are tons of
- 7:56people abroad making a ton of money
- 7:58with this thumbnail thing. Are you
- 7:59learning social media? Show how you
- 8:01grow a profile from scratch. I assure
- 8:02you, you'll find your inbox and DMs
- 8:04full of companies that will want to
- 8:05work with you. Lever number 4, and this
- 8:08is where I’d say 98%of people crash.
- 8:11I need to be really clear here: it's
- 8:13about reliability, the most underrated
- 8:15thing on the planet. It's not talent
- 8:18that gets you paid, but the fact that
- 8:19you deliver when you said you would,
- 8:20and that you reply to messages clearly
- 8:22and precisely. And I'll put it to you
- 8:24bluntly and straight, okay? People
- 8:25don't keep working with you because
- 8:27you're a genius or because you're
- 8:28talented. They work with you again if
- 8:29you're not a problem and you deliver
- 8:31results. And these four levers together
- 8:33are what turn a € 50 skill into a €
- 8:3510,000 job. And once you start seeing
- 8:38your first 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, €
- 8:3910,000 in your account, the next
- 8:41question is: "Okay, Giuseppe, but now
- 8:43what do I do with this money?" And I
- 8:45give you the answer in this video on
- 8:47the right, where I explain how I would
- 8:48invest if I were a student, and it's
- 8:49neither about stocks nor the stock
- 8:51market. Thank you for watching, and
- 8:53always unleash your potential. Best
- 8:55wishes.
