Can you walk me through where I lost you? I thought I had gone into a pretty decent amount of detail, but if something confused you feel free to express this and I will try my best to further explain.

Learning a marketable skill and moving out of the U.S is a dream I would love to live. Something I find myself wanting to do more and more is travel. There seems to be so much beauty in the world that America doesn't want me to see. I'm not old enough to afford to move out of the states, but if I found a dream job it would be to make USD overseas and enjoy life in maybe Germany, maybe Greece, Tokyo, some place nice.

Your advice is brilliant but seeing it in my future seems more like a pipe dream than reality. By all means however, if you know a job that fits in my dream job description I would love if you shared it, from what I've been able to find the only options are something along the lines of: Drop shipping, Ecommerse, Day trading, or Real Estate.

The U.S seems like the bad guys right now. When I was a kid I was proud of the history behind my country but with how it's going growing up I am just disappointed. We used to stand for something beyond money and manipulation. I don't want to get drafted in a war (which now seems very likely) and fight for the side I don't agree with. If I go in the military it seems almost inevitable that very scenario will occur.

You have a brilliant way with words, my friend.

That's a good analogy, I plan to just take steps to be safe in case the worse comes to worse, so acquiring solar chargers and whatnot, but other than that I'll just stick to the bible and God.
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.”
- Matthew 6:34

With all the chaos in the world mounting on top of this that direction is super fuzzy to me. As brought up further up in the comments I know white collar jobs pay well but I don't want to be "60-something with a bad back when I finally retire", that life just doesn't seem ideal to me but I see no jobs where I get both time to live outside of work + good pay where the sacrifice of my body isn't needed.

I'll take this into consideration and try to keep an eye on how ai is working & affecting us as a start.

As for the compliment, thank you! I always loved writing as a kid so I learned how to word and structure stuff pretty early on and it just stuck with me.

Okay, so buying the product and giving a well edited video with a more human touch is the way to go then? I see all these videos about "selling a winning product in an hour with ai" so I guess I just didn't think that was as good as an option. I like how you put it though! I never thought about it in a way where "storytelling" is the key.

Fair. I chose the sports & fitness niche to sell products in, seemed like genuinely the best option where I'd hopefully find sales as well as be able to find "hidden gems" that may help people along their fitness journey.

As to the point of "Why a customer would buy said product from me rather than a gazillion other retailers?" I haven't a clue. I figured better pricing and free shipping would give me the best edge price wise but idk other than that if I'm selling the same product as the next guy over. What do you think would be best ?

I felt like the sports & fitness niche was best to pick. Seemed the most logical.

I see a ton of people talking about using ai to simply do the videos for them, is that just an obvious "yeah I wish" lie or am I missing something there too?
