About me:
I'm 26 years old. Live on my own. No debt (cleared debt). Make okay money (50kish/yr). I take home 1k each month to invest and do whatever. I honestly want to leave my job, start travelling, bang out hot girls and live my best life.
Right now, I'm building up my emergency fund just in case I lose my job and don't have to live back home. Right now, I only have 3k in savings.
I'm totally into drop shipping and not seeing much return. I'm pretty much pouring money into FB advertisements trying to sell my products (POD). I don't mind testing products and actually, enjoy the process.
My question is, is there anything out there that you guys would recommend that brings in a greater return?
Recommendations?
Podcasts
Youtube Channels

Forexpeacearmy.com have a very comprehensive course.
https://www.forexpeacearmy.com/community...chool.158/
Also google babypips.com or just type in forex at youtube there is tons of stuff there.
Basically you need a proven strategy, risk management and psychological control.
You can do a demo account with any platform like metatrader and practice without losing money.

If you're already in ecom then affiliate marketing is not too far off and has a similar testing process.
Potential to make some good bank within a few years and get out of your job if you go hard at it. STM Forum/AWC conferences are a good start.

Definitely going to look into it.

Uber and lyft. Guaranteed to get paid. Everything else could chasing rabbit holes with nothing in the end. Learn your field then start your own business, until then squeeze extra cash from Uber and Lyft.

If you've got a grand or two lying around at the end of each month, you're far better off getting into a business where you are not trading your time for money (and mediocre money, at that). Especially as a young guy.
It's a lot harder to take risks in your 30s with kids and/or a mortgage - if you waste time driving taxis now in your spare time, you're hurting your future self more than you could ever imagine.
A business takes time to get off the ground, but the end result is immeasurably better.
This guy gets it.

Agree.
I just wrote a letter to my manager about getting a raise because I definitely feel I deserve at this point in my role. If I don't get it, I'll find a new job.
I need more money to put into my side hustle and live better. I'm tired of waiting for things to happen for me. A lot of my job depends on other people and so does my compensation. Sadly, a lot of the people I have to depend on are completely incompetent.
