I could have titled this article Brave New World, but that title has been taken since 1931, when Aldous Huxley wrote his novel with that title. The novel, which is a dystopia, means “a vision of a world/society worse than the present.” What I will write about is the present, not a fantasy about the future.
So, as an IT professional, web developer, programmer, and former company owner, I know the internet and the opportunities it offers. At least a very small slice of it. The events of the past few weeks are proof of this.
I haven’t been very active in looking for a position or a job in the past many years. Actually, I wasn’t very active before that either. Somehow, the next opportunity always came along. In the current way of life, I can’t count on that. It would almost be like waiting for that particular fried pigeon to finally fly into my mouth. So I’ve been surfing the internet quite a bit lately.
I look around in astonishment and wonder
With targeted searches and a single-minded focus, so many opportunities appear before me that I very quickly wondered where I had been before? How is it that I don’t have this knowledge yet, that I haven’t seen these opportunities anywhere? I truly felt a few days ago as if I had been dropped into a new world.
Quite a few options appeared before me, I’ll show you a few examples of what I mean.
Trainings
There are skills that I, for example, possess. In a way that I have been practicing them for years. A site drew my attention to the collection of sites where you can complete certain training courses for free, and at the end you can obtain an exam. After that, I will have a document proving my qualifications that certain employers will be happy to welcome in my CV.
We are talking about Google certificates, for example. So, I complete the course, at the end I take the exam and I will have an official document about a given Google skill.
I am currently halfway through the first curriculum, I want to obtain the first such certificate this week. In the first round, I set myself 5 Google qualifications.
There are sites where I can acquire specific knowledge material that is suitable for a particular company. Let’s say I take the exams that are loved and desired by the Meta company.
Based on the above, you can be quite targeted when applying for a job.
Business Models
A vlogger or blogger doesn’t just present opportunities, they present complete, step-by-step solutions. What makes an opportunity really exciting is that the given educational material even lists the free tools that can be used to achieve the goal.
A lot of people are busy telling the whole story. Listening to each of these rhymes, I find that some of them are worth listening to. If nothing else, they are good for constantly maintaining attention to the topic. Half of them are definitely bullshit, and Spanish wax wrapped in a robe that is a shame to waste time on, but some of them can give quite thought-provoking ideas. They can cause a change of perspective and increase confidence in the topic in those who are currently in the spotlight. For example, in me.
My goal is not to list these models here, or even introduce just one of them, I simply did not want to leave the topic aside. According to YouTube’s recommendation algorithm, as soon as you start watching videos of this kind, you will receive more and more recommendations.
Collection and telling sites
I have come across a lot of videos lately that show the possibilities of making easy money in a few points. The question immediately arises in my mind: why does someone who knows how to earn 1,000 USD a day with nothing still make video content? Maybe people are so smart that they immediately publish the secret of ultra-richness?
I just watched the video “Earn $950 A Day Copy & Pasting Google & YouTube Links: Quit 9-5 job & Go Viral”. It shows a method with astonishing simplicity that is not easy work, promises instant money, but after an initial investment of time it can be really profitable.
If this has results, you can read about it here, I’m sure of it!
To sum up this new world topic. What is astonishing to me is that this world is now opening up to me. So many new and exciting things have arisen in recent weeks that I am starting to regret again that a day only consists of 24 hours.
