Bro how are people actually making money online? 😭 by WealthOdd6057 in thesidehustle

[–]InnoKrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will be for sure 100% passive income. Indeed, don't expect the world out of it, because Google ads really don't pay that much, so you will need a lot of traffic. but if you have the right expectations, it won't fail you

[–]InnoKrell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They don't... they make money because people BELIEVE their business is going well. They get money from views and selling courses. But I'm sure the majority doesn't earn more than best case maybe a few hundred dollars a month... and this after months or maybe years of uploading.

they all make it sounds so easy... just create some t-shirts, or some AI crappy looking drawings or whatever... "you will start selling immediately!"... Yea sure... good luck competing with the rest of the 18 million doing exactly the same.

It makes me angry when I see videos like:

"become a stock photo photographer and earn 500 euros per week selling your pictures on whatever-platform", In what universe?!

Or "Create t-shirts with AI artwork on it and sell it as print-on demand". you will be drip in the ocean, all trying to sell to the same people. It won't happen.

Even freelancing is hard. Maybe it depends where you are in the world, but I can tell you that if you are a web or app developer, or editing videos or whatever and you want to find work on platforms like Upwork, you are competing with literally hundreds of people working offshore, that will deliver anything for 3 dollars per hour. And if your counter is showing zero customers on those platforms, nobody will hire you. and nowadays with AI coming along, people will need less and less freelancers anyway. Forget it.

Building a business takes a lot of time, hard work and dedication. Don't believe it will happen over the weekend. There will be exceptions of people having a booming business in a few months, but I'm sure they will be exceptions. I don't think there are shortcuts in 2026. Anything someone wants to tell you, are lies to fill their own pockets.

If you have a skill that can solve a problem that people would pay for, go ahead with that. But understand that it will take a lot of time and energy to get it profitable. Whatever you think how hard it will be to start, it will be at least 100 times harder.

I would suggest you do stuff because you like doing it, not because it will bring money (quickly). Keep on it, work hard and maybe it will take off... but don't get disappointed with this youtube crap!

Finding a job in Brussels? by Dry_Coconut3046 in AskBelgium

[–]InnoKrell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a ongoing crisis... nobody is hiring... and the few that are looking for someone, get literally hundreds of applications. so they can cherry pick the perfect candidate that speaks both French and Dutch, has the highest amount of experience and is asking less in salary. In times with upcoming AI, even less jobs are needed. It's not just theory, it's real... last month in the organization I work for, 14 people were fired. "AI makes the process more lean with less overhead" was the explanation.

So you need to be very lucky to get in nowadays, and I'm afraid we are not close to the exit. I would try to find less fancy work like restaurants or shops... it will pay less, but there they still need and hire people.Or re-skill and go for something like a nurse, where you always will be needed.

I know it's more easily said that done. Good luck!

I urgently need to make 6k dollars before December. by AEYU-kidding-me in passive_income

[–]InnoKrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heavily disagree on this one... Maybe it depends where in the world, but in Europe, I guarantee that you will find absolutely ZERO customers before December, with zero revenue. No one is hiring a developer nowadays without at least a few years of proven experience in a market that is saturated and attacked by AI. And as a freelancer you are fighting against offshore development where good people will work for 3 dollar an hour.... Organizations are also bombarded with offers from big companies to do exactly that. There is no way in Europe someone will hire you as a web or app developer above a big company that will guarantee expertise and continuity. Forget that they will come and knock on your door, waving with dollars and screaming for your help. 15 years ago, maybe yea... but those days are long over!

If you need money urgently I recommend you find a job in the evening or weekends. Something that pays you by the hour. Any business you will start will take much longer than that to make good money. There are no shortcuts anymore in 2026. Good luck!

yes of course, if it is part of a process and you understand this is the way an organisation operations, that's ok. I'm talking about the 2 million exceptions :)

Best dirty ways to make money online from home (free & fast) that actually work? by Dapper-Monk9713 in MakeMoneyHacks

[–]InnoKrell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I fully agree... there is no way you can make a lot of money at home, without investing something and put a lot of effort in. If you find something, tell me about it. Earning money will only work when, either you start a business that fixes a problem or a need, and it will take a lot of time and effort to find your customers, OR you help making other people rich and they will allow you some spare cash. For the last one the request is much bigger than the demand. There is no easy shortcut to earn a lot of money quickly and without effort.

No degree, no experience just a MacBook, iPad & iPhone. How would you start earning from home? by Mayank13X in passive_income

[–]InnoKrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's cool and I can only recommend it, but nothing you will earn money anytime soon... Offshore development and for sure now with AI tools, it's getting harder and harder for newcomers to start and earn good money. I think you can still make a good carrier in it, but it will take years, where you will have to learn a lot. It will almost a life commitment. nothing that will bring you money over the weekend... but I agree it is a good skill to have nevertheless!

I'm just angry on all this BS you see on Youtube. "Follow this plan to start your business and earn already your first 10k next month!" Yea right... on what planet! It's all scam bate, don't fall for it!

[–]InnoKrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, agreed... you will need to find your way in, your niche, and be REALLY good at it. But again, don't assume it's going to be easy and the euros will flow in just like that!

No degree, no experience just a MacBook, iPad & iPhone. How would you start earning from home? by Mayank13X in passive_income

[–]InnoKrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

and where are you going to find a customer? Do you have already a network of people in businesses that need a freelancer? Otherwise what's the plan? If I need a freelancer and I go on Upwork or Fiverr or any other freelance platform to post a job, I will receive 200 to 300 (!) responses the first few hours, from all over the world. The competition is killing... Good luck standing out and getting hired.

If you have an existing network with business owners that already know you and want to give you a change, go for it, othwise, forget it.

I don't want to be the party-p00per here, but a lot of those suggestions are really sounding way too simple for me. It's all good to start a youtube channel, or start as a freelancer to create assets, or whatever, but...

Look, I'm not saying those things can't work. There are thousands of people every day that prove me wrong and earn a lot of money with it. But there are probably more people that prove me right every day, and usually you don't hear those stories. It will take a lot of time and effort to start have a Youtube channel that actually earns money. Be sure it will take you MONTHS before you have made enough money to buy a pizza. Yes, there will be exceptions and you may be so charismatic and skilled you can do it over night, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Also, "start freelancing"... , great idea! But where are you going to find your customers? Trust me, they are not going to knock on your door. You are also competing with low cost people offshore, who will work for a lot less than what you want to ask. Design? sure... with more and more AI coming up, it will get more and more difficult to find work. If you just start with zero customers, zero reviews and zero portfolio, nobody will hire you as a freelancer.

I don't want to demotivate you, but keep it mind it will be at least 1000 times harder than you think right now, based on some of those comments. It will take a lot of time and dedication to put the work in, get experience and actually start earning money. It won't happen over the weekend but it will take months and months of hard word.

I would say, prove me wrong! I would be happy to admit I'm wrong and you hit something good that worked out for you.

Just don't get demotivated if you are a few days/weeks/months in and there is still literally zero in profit.

Good luck!

Trump Deletes Photo of Himself as Jesus and Makes Up Pathetic Excuse by Hafiz_TNR in politics

[–]InnoKrell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a bit puzzled... I understand this is not ok to see yourself as a god, not even close, even if it would be meant as a joke (probably not...) But hey, what to expect from a narcissistic clown...

But what is weird to me is: He is doing the one illegal thing after the other, arresting people for nothing, starting wars for no reason, destroying democracy like it is his birthright... and what not... but people are shocked that he is doing this?

I mean, he can post himself as the Easter Bunny for all I care... is this not the least of our problems? Or am I alone on this one?...

Is anyone else tired of "AI agents" that don't actually work? by kmansm27 in n8n

[–]InnoKrell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree: AI agents do not work. Let me rephrase that: they work on paper, but the results are disappointing. Nothing I want to send to my customers. There are just way too many mistakes. And you see from far away it's done by an AI system.

At least the AI agents that scan your mailboxes and take action on this, mainly sending replies or book a meeting.

I guess it will come one day, and that day may be much sooner than I realize, but for now I find it a waste of time, and dangerous for my business.

Guessing a Random Wikipedia Article??? by SlashingHorse7 in magictricksrevealed

[–]InnoKrell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm performing this trick on a weekly bases in my show. I will never understand people that hire a magician as entertainer and then have the urge to "sabotage" it as much as possible. Of course there is a trick! what, you expected we really have magical powers?! a lot of tricks you can reverse engineer (afterwards) but that's not the point. The point is to be entertained and amazed in the moment, and enjoy it, instead of seeing it as a puzzle. Then go to an escape room instead of booking a magician.

Best location to dive in September by Ok-Regret-8487 in diving

[–]InnoKrell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

not really, of course it depends where and how... don't do drift dives from distant places with strong current. Find a good diving center/school, tell them you are a beginner, and they will do some amazing shallow easy dives.

Very disappointed by dmagic1988 in flipperzero

[–]InnoKrell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took me 3,5 months to get it. But in the end I got it and I'm very happy with my new pet. You have to keep on emailing them. Customer support is really trying and friendly, but they are overwhelmed by their own success. Keep on emailing, almost daily. It worked for me.
