There are people who don't make 100k USD a year.

How do thirdies with internet connection not make at least 100k a year and live like kings in their country?

I have 3 guys from India who work for me as video editors and make 3k a month USD because they're actually good. I imagine thats like KANG wages over there.

I also have a guy working for me who in Indian, but learned to remove his accent and he works in sales for me, makes closer to 8k a month as an appointment setter.

They all live in India btw.

But on a more important note, the business I run works with American companies, but its not like you need to be American to work with them to begin with.

I run a marketing agency for invoice factoring companies (a type of alternative financing). Like, I could be a thirdie dude in some shithole third world country and nothing would change besides timezones

Like why aren't thirdies just starting online businesses and doing work for American companies and living like kangs? Its a globalized world mang.

AI can do the job quicker and more efficiently for a couple hundred bucks a month, it also doesn't complain while doing it or demand pay rises or anything like that
im just saying AI is worth more than humans and Im not even biased or anything but human beings have been effectively made worthless through the proliferation of cheap AI

i live in NYC and a sandwich costs 16+ USD. 16 bucks could probably feed thirdies for a week

Thirdie workers outsourced to American companies cannot suffer

>>215394447
Firsties need to be parachuted in thirdielnad with 1000 dollars and a phone with no external help.
The experiment would last 2 years or until the firstie dies/commits suicide.

>>215395414
The tech isnt there yet. The second I can replace my entire company with AI I will, but it just isn't there yet.

AI is horse shit at making net new ideas. Writing marketing copy with AI is like writing code with AI. You need a person who is actually good at the task proofreading the AI's work for it to be effective, so you still need to hire someone competent to do it.

Obviously, I get more output, but so does every other firm, so its not actually a durable competitive advantage over the long term.

>>215396358
When American companies outsource labor, everyone wins accept american wagies, but thats what they get for being uncompetitive.

>>215396548
I could pull this off though as long as I have some good internet. The main advantage thirdies have that they dont realize is that you can target niches too small for Americans to bother. No American is going to bother running an entire company to only make like 75k a year, but thirdies can because that money is worth it for them.

You have a cost advantage that allows you to target smaller companies in smaller niches. Like, I could start a marketing agency that targeted pawn shops, but I might make at most like 100-200k a year after everything. At that point you might as well get a job, but some thirdie would swim in that.

Since you're American I assume you eat jumbo sized shit filled with greasy slop. So from that pic related pricing I'll pick the 30cm (1ft) BBQ ribs one. And mind you, this is bottom feeder Subway, not some gourmet hipster sandwich locale.
That snack costs 39.60 PLN, which with current exchange rates translates to 10.90 USD.
You were saying?

>>215397057
Poland isnt third world though.

Also a foot long cost like $10 here too.
>>
>>215397057
Are there eats with cheaper option than this?
It is twice the price of Subway here, wtf

The issue with what this anon is saying is finding your first clients and of course credibility.
It’s not easy in the sense that you can just open shop and instantly have paying clients but it is doable if you break it into manageable steps and build momentum.
So basically what I want to say is that a lot of thirdies are going to waste their time doing this and it’s funny if they really fall for this gloating which makes it sound easy.

The first mover problem is not unique to being a thirdie so why are you using it as an argument on why thirdies cant do this?

You solve the first mover problem by 1) working for free and 2) a shit ton of outbound volume. Working for free in the third world has a lower opportunity cost than working for free in the US, which also makes point 2 cheaper than an American doing the same thing. This is literally why digital nomads leave their first world bubble to live in Thailand and grow their online businesses.

The one thing you dont have is an American accent, but if you are serious about getting out of your third world shit hole, you should learn english and reduce your accent as much as you can.

I make around $11k a year.

i do that
they (you) pay 3 per hour
only whoring and codemonkers get more

When I was 19 I used to translate manga on my free time. Took some commissions from time to time and made like $1k a month. Back then 1 USD was equivalent to 80 Bangladeshi taka. Now it goes for 120.

I have none of that money left. University has left me with absolutely zero free time. I make 10,000 taka a month but am nevertheless happy with myself.

Do you have any skills that are worth more than $3 an hour?

Like if someone can fill a position for $3 an hour then its obviously an incredibly low skill job. Like you are competing with the other thirdies, you still need to have actual skills to make 2-4k a month as a thridie.

Thirdies need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps and do things like making SFM Animated porn or furry porn commissions and make 5k a month.

because for every job that pays 100k to WFH you have 1000 applicants

no. not without contacts in the US and a US citizenship. you would just be another nameless faceless thirdie with lottery odds of getting anywhere
>>
>>215398853
You dont need contacts or US citizenship to cold call and email american companies. This is literally how I got my first clients.

You'd need to be a really crooked one with lots of connections to make bank on just being a lawyer.
I'm sure the top players make millions but not your everyday lawyer.

My monthy expenses, if i give myself a little pocket money for whatever like new books, maybe new games, doesn’t exceed like €1700 in todays exchange rate

Why would i need 100k if i am happy with so little? Feels like the juice isn’t worth the squeeze
>>
>>215394447
Like what jobs pay you that? you need former experience and a lot of shit even for a codemonkey position
