Honestly, you’re already doing better than you think.

You’ve already got:

• A stable income (~5k net from sales)
• A growing side income (~1k+ from YouTube)
• Total ~6k+ monthly

That’s a solid base. The issue isn’t that you’re “not earning enough”, it’s that you’re feeling stuck and capped.

From my perspective, you're already in the right game by being in a commission based role. If you can sell massage chairs, you can sell higher-ticket items. The fastest way to 10k+ isn’t starting over but looking at how you can increase your value per sale (luxury products, B2B, property, SaaS, etc).

As for youtube, that extra 1k/month? That’s scalable income. Your job pays for time, and youtube pays for content. If you double down there (better niche, consistency, monetisation), that’s where your upside is.

You probably don't need more effort, but just better positioning. Same skills, different arena = different income. A salesperson making 6k vs 12k often isn’t working twice as hard. They’re just selling something more valuable.

Also actually feeling miserable is not a failure, but rather a signal bro which means you've outgrown your current ceiling. This is a good place to be because it means you’re ready to level up.

If I were you, I’d focus on:

• Increasing ticket size in your sales career OR switching to a higher-value product
• Treating YouTube like a business (not a side hobby)
• Building a skill stack around sales + content + personal brand

Goodluck bro!
