I’ve been doing $240 / day 5-6 days per week in revenue and netting around $125-150 in base pay making low effort videos for my clients saas products. Most weeks I don’t hit my max ceiling and just do above the minimum. The more I create, the more I make. The more the views grow, the more bonuses I get. Basically I am justified by results not effort.

    It feels surreal knowing I am making $2k (4k if I made all 22 videos per week myself) per month by working maybe 3 hours per week. This was the thing I I always wanted because it would fuel my dream to be a digital nomad.

    There was a time 2 years ago I was only making $150/mo. I’ve been doing this for a year and the gig has pretty much changed my life and increased my confidence a lot. Early this year I was at my peak contracting my clients gig out and barely doing anything. Business was good for me and the client and I was looking for new clients to take up

    However, now growth has plateaud after the IG algorithm changed and my client has been suggesting budget cuts, offering me referrals, scaling his roster of creators, and then today mentioning they didn’t want me to work on 1 of their 2 products anymore past this month if there’s no growth.

    It got me thinking; I’m not sure what other companies are out there willing to dish out $60 per video like this. I tried working at a VC funded saas, that paid me $4k in 2 weeks. they fired me after accusing me of cheating and they had so many more stipulations.

    I am in the process of creating my own saas which I’ll market myself. I have the know-how it’s just that I only have around $14k in my bank and no coding skills. I’m going to have to pay someone to code it. I’ve only designed a mock up.

    Man, I’m not sure how I can ever work a job after this. I am letting go and letting God. Praying I only have better opportunities from here on.

    I make $2k/mo as a content creator doing hardly anything. What are other ways to make money this easily? Not sure what’s next for me

      Can you explain what videos you make? and do you use a platform to get such gigs? or you do cold reachouts?

    2. Why not keep doing videos for SaaS clients since that’s what got you to the place you’ve always wanted to be financially? There are plenty more companies that would pay on a performance basis. If the issue is finding clients, have you tried “permissionless marketing” where you make a video for a SaaS company and then reach out to them and say if they liked it and want more, here are my rates?

    3. wait you’re making $2k a month for 3 hours of work a week? honestly that sounds like the dream setup most of us are chasing 😭 what type of saas products are you doing videos for?

      yo, sounds like you’ve been on a wild ride, man. maybe consider partnering with someone who knows coding for your saas idea? you can focus on the marketing part you’re already good at. also, gotta keep hustling and finding those new clients. good luck with the digital nomad dream!

    5. Don’t pay someone. Try the proof of concept with replit or lovable

      Or heck even Gemini with the canvas tool
