How Much Money I Earn in a Week as a Doctor & YouTuber

right so I’m gonna break down what I earned from my full-time job of being a junior doctor in the UK’s National Health Service alongside with a breakdown of five different sources of passive income but before I talk about the numbers there are too many reasons for doing this video the first one is to get reviews because this is a a juicy topic and I hope it’ll get used but secondly and far more importantly over the last few years as I’ve really gotten into this entrepreneurship passive income financial independence stuff I’ve benefited enormously from people on the internet being open and transparent about their income and their revenues people like Pat Flynn and Graeme Stephan and mister money mustache and the indie hacker’s community links to all that down below seeing real people sharing real numbers has really inspired me over the years to do a lot of the things that I’m now doing today and so if even a tiny tiny tiny proportion of people watching this video instead of thinking wow they could this guy he’s a [ __ ] for sharing these numbers publicly instead of thinking that if I can inspire even a small number of people to just kind of take the first steps down this journey of passive income financial independence then this video will have been worth it and hopefully I’ll get some views along the way so that’s my virtue signaling over let’s get into the the juicy details now so these are all the real numbers from Monday the 23rd of March 2020 through to Sunday of that week and let’s start with my full-time job of being a junior doctor so I work for the UK’s National Health Service at a hospital in Barisan Edmonds which is a town in the east of England and among the obstetrics and gynaecology placement at the moment and my annual salary is around about 38,000 pounds a year I am sort of in the equivalent of my intern year if you’re familiar with the American system I’m not quite a resident yet but I am a doctor so I’m sort of like a an intern and looking at my pay slip which you will see over here the hourly rate is about 15 pounds and 36 P an hour so as you can see in each month I work 173 basic hours and 225 hours out of hours which comes out to 3054 pounds in 76 P and then because I work around one in every three weekends I get a bit extra for that so that’s around about 200 pounds a month so the total comes to three thousand two hundred and fifty five pounds and seven P so if we break that down kind of in this week let’s start with the Monday and on the Monday I work a normal day shift which is 8 o’clock in the morning through to 5 o’clock in the evening which is 9 hours in total so nine times fifteen pounds and thirty six P is 138 pounds in 24 P so that is like my daily standard wage but of course all of these numbers are way before tax and national insurance and NHS pension contributions and student loans and all the other kind of stuff I’ll just be talking about the top-line revenue rather than the post tax versions of that because you know tax varies in different countries so that’s the active component of of my income let’s not talk about six sources of passive income and I kind of break it down and day by day so the first one to mention is YouTube Adsense revenue now you know those five second ads that you see before most videos on YouTube essentially anytime someone watches one of those ads YouTube pays a bit of money to the person who made the video and so on Monday the 23rd of March I made 95 pounds and 66 P from Adsense views and that was because I had ninety seven thousand seven hundred and twenty three views on the Monday which is round about one pound per thousand views and I’ll explain a bit more about how Adsense works as we go through the week but so so far doctor income and Adsense income the next thing is Skillshare now Skillshare is an online platform it’s like it’s like Netflix for online courses and the way you make money on Skillshare as a teacher it’s sort of like Spotify streaming royalties so essentially anytime someone watches one of my online classes on Skillshare so far I’ve got two as of the time of recording this video anytime people watch those I get paid for every minute of premium watch time so for every minute someone with a premium Skillshare account watches the videos and so on Monday I had 3086 premium minutes of watch time and actually at the time Monday the 23rd of March I only had one class on Skillshare this was a class well it is a class you can watch it if you want about how to edit videos in Final Cut Pro from beginner to youtuber so I made this class way back in September 2019 and it’s been generating passive income from people watching it every day on Skillshare since then so I had 3000 and 86 minutes of watch time and so on the Monday I made 169 dollars and 73 cents off of this one class that I filmed in one day way back in September 2019 and that has just been generating $100 plus of passive income every single day since then on it’s absolutely ridiculous if I say so myself so that’s three sources the fourth one is that Skillshare have their own affiliate program so essentially the affiliate program is that whenever someone signs up to something if they sign up you a special referral link then often the company will pay a little bit of a commission to the person who sent them through that link so I have an Skillshare affiliate link that if anyone signs up to a free trial Skillshare using that link then I will make ten dollars and that skill share standard affiliate program I think they changed the rates depending on who you are but I’m on ten dollars at the moment and on the Monday one person signed up for skill show using my affiliate link so I made ten dollars off of that that brings us on to the fifth revenue source and that is other affiliate deals so I’ve got a few different affiliate partnerships with different products that I like or you know apps that I use and I always declare those in videos and stuff the biggest one for me is the paper like screen protector for the iPad which I’ve made a few videos about and epidemic sound which is a fantastic company that provides the royalty-free music for this for these videos on YouTube and so if anytime someone buys the paper like screen protector from my special link or if someone signs up to epidemic sound using my special think I’ll make some affiliate revenue and good a few others but they’re quite small compared to those two which are reasonably big and so on Monday I made one hundred and twenty three dollars and forty three cents off of these affiliate partnerships and the final source of affiliate income is the Amazon Associates affiliate program now Amazon has the world’s biggest affiliate program essentially you can earn between like one and ten percent commission on all purchases made on Amazon if someone went went to that product using your affiliate link and so when I send my email newsletters out every week you can sign up link below and if I recommend a book I will put an Amazon affiliate link there because you know I might as well or in my monthly favorites videos if I’m recommending like a pen you know that’s what I talked about in my latest video this pen which I liked I put on Amazon affiliate link to that pen and if someone spends you know five pounds on Amazon using this thing I will make maybe 1% or 2% or 3% and that sort of adds up if you have a very big audience or if you have an audience that buys a lot of expensive stuff so for example if you are eight photo Photography videography youtuber like Peter McKinnon you’re probably making a load of money off Amazon affiliate links because the sorts of stuff that people by clicking on your links are expensive cameras and expensive lenses and stuff whereas the sort of stuff people by clicking on my links are either books I’ve recommended a few books and videos and people buy the books or a pen or like a board game or something so I don’t make much of the Amazon affiliate links but Monday the 23rd I made 20 Pete off of the UK program and $10.49 off of the u.s.Program for a total of 10 dollars and 74 cents on Amazon from affiliate links so my total active income for Monday was 172 dollars and 42 cents and my total passive income for Monday I he income that wasn’t directly tied to me giving up my own time at least not directly was three hundred thirteen dollars and ninety cents so that gives you kind of a rough idea of of what the breakdown is there’s a breeze through the other days and I’ll kind of expand all the bits that are relevant so Tuesday the 24th of March being a doctor normal day shift o’clock in the morning to 5:00 o’clock in the evening 138 pounds 24 Adsense so on the Tuesday I got one hundred and twenty three thousand nine hundred and fifty-six views which was quite a lot more like 30% more than I had the day before but that was mostly through a video which got D monetized and therefore I didn’t make any money off of those so actually I got a little bit less Adsense revenue because it’s only monetizable videos that you get revenue from so I made 94 pounds 83 on that day from Adsense which is a lot bad you know if you make make $100 in a day just off people watching your videos that’s that’s pretty reasonable then on Skillshare I had two thousand nine hundred and sixty one minutes watch time for a total of one hundred and sixty two dollars and 86 cents there were two people that sign up to my Skillshare affiliate links that’s $20 and then from my other affiliate partnerships like the paper like screen protector and epidemic sound I made one hundred and eighteen dollars and 69 cents and then Amazon Associates I made absolutely nothing from people in the UK and people in the US made me eighty dollars and 15 sets and then there’s another income source and that is my online courses for medical applicants so back when I was in medical school I set up a company called Six med which runs classroom courses and question banks for medical school applicants and that’s been running since like 2013 that’s its own company and so I’m not going to talk about they’re sort of my personal income because there are so many kind of levels like layers of stuff that happens to that money before any of it gets to me so we’re not gonna include that in this video but a couple of years ago I made my own online video courses for the you can to the be mat and Medical School interviews which are things that people have to do to get into med school in the UK and on Tuesday V what was it 24th of March one person signed up to the UK crash course and that made me 99 pounds there’s a few other people in this business and there’s a few of those sort of it’s so it’s it’s it’s not that I personally took home 99 pounds but I’m including that here because it’s mostly kind of my direct stuff there’s not too many other people in that business so 99 pounds from the UK crash course online which is what is it 123 dollars or words to that effect so overall on Tuesday the 24th my active income was 172 dollars and 42 cents and my passive income was 551 dollars and 79 cents again this is income that is not directly tied to my own time for a total of seven hundred and twenty four dollars 21 cents for Tuesday let’s move on to Wednesday normal working day 138 pounds in 24 cents YouTube Adsense wise ninety six thousand and forty two views revenue dropped a little bit so that’s 90 pounds and fifty two P so you can see that my CPMs which stands for cost per meal which is the amount of money you get paid four thousand views I make about one pound per thousand views it kind of varies depending on what sort of content you make so my tech videos have much higher CPM s maybe five pounds per thousand views my book videos have practically nothing CPM wise maybe like ten pennies per thousand views it all depends on who is advertising on those videos and the sorts of companies that advertise on tech videos for an American audience are gonna have more money to spend than the sorts of companies that advertise fantasy books for a global audience and the CPM rates kind of vary depending on where the people are from so India CPM rates are very low so I have a lot of Indian viewers maybe like 10 percent of the audience unfortunately they don’t make me much money at all because there’s not many companies advertising in India and paying lots of money for it but the 25 percent or so of my American audience contributes a lot to the CPM s because lots of companies want to advertise to American viewers because American viewers tend to have on average more money to spend on products so that’s why the CPM rates vary and then you get people like Graeme Stephan who are making videos about real estate and about how to make money online they’re getting enormous CPM is because it’s finance companies advertising on those videos and they have more money than tech companies even so that was $112 ninety-five from each of odd cents and then on Skillshare I had 4,000 in 26 minutes of watch time for a grand total of two hundred twenty one dollars and forty three cents nothing from Skillshare affiliates and then the other affiliate partnerships one hundred sixty four dollars twenty one and then off Amazon I made two pounds of thirty three peat from the UK market and a $2.00 than twelve cents for the American market for a total of five dollars and three cents for a daily active active income of 172 .$42 and passive income of five hundred and three dollars and sixty two cents for a total of six hundred seventy six dollars and four cents for the Wednesday is this fun shall we keep going so first day I actually had a day off so I’m gonna assume that I made no money that day active income wise in reality I’d probably just divide my annual income by 365 days but let’s say I made no income because I physically didn’t go to work but even though I didn’t physically go to work I managed to film a lot of each of videos and that was the day where I released one of my iPad pro unboxing videos and so that overall on on Thursday the channel got 120 2698 views for a total revenue of 166 pounds of 9p off of Skillshare we got three thousand nine hundred and fifty nine minutes of watch time so it seems to be hovering around between two and four thousand for a total of 217 dollars and seventy-five cents I got two people signing up to my skills for affiliate link thank you very much whoever you were for twenty dollars and I made a hundred eighty seven dollars and five cents off of the affiliate marketing Amazon made $1.99 from the UK and actually lost 49 cents from the US I think because someone canceled or asked for a refund for their order and therefore the money got docked off of me for the affiliate side of it so overall active income was nothing passive income was six hundred and thirty four dollars and five cents all right let’s blitz through the rest so Friday it was a long day 8:00 a.m.Till 9:00 p.m. that was a 13-hour shift so I made 199 pounds in 68 P off about ninety six thousand four hundred thirty one views on YouTube made 150 dollars and 73 cents 4422 minutes of watch time on Skillshare made two hundred forty three dollars and 21 cents three people signed up to my skill share links of 30 dollars there and then affiliate marketing various links 128 dollars 60 and then Amazon nothing from the UK but in the US they had a good day in the US I made $17 and 68 cents from Amazon and then one person signed up to the UK at crash course online for 99 pounds so overall active income 249 dollars passive income six hundred and ninety four dollars and two cents total nine hundred forty three dollars and seven cents total income now on the weekend it’s slightly interesting because week are usually long day shift so starting at 8 o’clock in the morning I get into work and then I leave work at 9 o’clock in the evening so that’s a 13-hour shift but because it’s a weekend I also make a little bit more because we get a bit of a bonus for working on the weekends so in March I worked two weekends the first weekend and the last weekend of March and so that 200 pounds is divided amongst those four days of the weekend so I’m assuming that each day of the weekend I made an extra fifty pounds so overall on the saturday 28th of March I made 249 pounds 68 feet from work I got a hundred fifty eight thousand four hundred seventy nine views on YouTube I just released the iPad review video so that I’ve got some views and also iPad videos tend to do well on the advertiser front so that overall I made two hundred and sixty four dollars and 41 cents off of that then on Skillshare three thousand nine hundred and thirty seven minutes of watch time so two hundred sixteen dollars 54 cents two people signing up to Skillshare vibe affiliate link 20 dollars there 182 dollars and five cents off of the affiliate income and then Amazon UK to pound ninety five thank you and I was in u.s.Eleven dollars 91 for a total of fifteen dollars and sixty cents and then one person signed up to the beam at crash course online which is another course that I offer for 99 pounds or 123 dollars something like that for a total of three hundred and eleven dollars and 48 cents of active income and seven hundred sixty five dollars and 98 cents of passive income for a total record breaking for the week one thousand and seventy seven dollars and forty six cents of total income for the Saturday and finally Sunday 249 pounds of sixty eight Peaks is the same as a Saturday for work 127 thousand nine hundred ninety six views on YouTube which made two hundred and eighty dollars and 96 cents three thousand five hundred minutes of watch time and Skillshare makes one hundred and ninety seven dollars to people signing up a skill share premium from my link 20 dollars one hundred and ninety one dollars and seventy nine cents of affiliate income and seven pounds in one P from the UK Amazon and only three dollars and forty seven cents off of the u.s.Bias clearly people in the US were not shopping on Amazon through my links on the Sunday for a total of twelve dollars and twenty four cents so active income three hundred $11.48 passive income six hundred and thirty dollars and 33 cents total nine hundred forty-one dollars so let’s now kind of break break down some of these totals so in total in this week I worked in my job as a doctor for 63 hours and if we take the weekend bonus into account that’s an overall hourly rate of 17 pounds and 67p an hour which is roughly about $20 an hour which is what iron has a junior doctor working in the UK a lot of people comment on my videos something like how do you earn so little if you’re a doctor and you’re probably thinking of American doctors American doctors once they’re fully qualified once their attendings once they’ve done their for you three or four years of residency earn on average four times as much as UK doctors so a consultant which is the highest level of doctor in the UK which you tend to get to after the age of about 35 a consultant doctor in the UK starts off at around about i think 70 or 80 thousand pounds which is let’s say around about a hundred thousand dollars but the median income of US doctors is about four hundred thousand dollars depending on which specialty you’re doing and if you do more and more work you can you know doctors in the u.s.Can make over a million dollars a year just off of their doctor stuff it’s quite hard to do that in the UK we have a very nice National Health Service it’s a state-run health care system unless you’re really deep into private practice it’s really hard to make a lot of money as a doctor in the UK I don’t think anyone’s complaining like you know a hundred thousand dollars as a doctor in the in the UK is still huge the median salary across the population in the UK is I think about 21 thousand pounds so then what’s that twenty six thousand dollars so you know doctors still earn a lot more than the average person in the UK but it’s just nowhere near what you can earn in the u.s.Anyway so that was 63 hours of work for 1113 pounds but it takes me an hour to drive back and forth from work and so I had 12 hours of travel time and if we include that my real hourly rate becomes 14 pounds at 85 P an hour before tax you know is pretty reasonable it’s my it’s my day job but the non active sources of income in my life overall far outweigh this now and that is a place where I have always kind of wanted to get to but always like never really thought realistically that I would get there even though I’ve kind of been trying for the last kind of five years to kind of build up these different sources of passive income and I’m going to talk about the totals and share some tips for getting started if you’re still watching and you’re into this sort of stuff but before we do so I want to mention that there is one sort of important source of income that I haven’t really mentioned and that is from sponsored videos so for example if I’m doing a video exactly like this one I might say this video is kindly sponsored by brilliant brilliant is a fantastic online courses platform where you can learn maths science and computer science courses and they’re absolutely amazing if you’re interested in starting off on your own kind of passive income entrepreneurship type of journey one thing that I’d really recommend genuinely is learning how to code it was because I learned how to code in like you know when I was like 12 13 in secondary school and that’s why we call high school in the UK and I used to do little jobs for small businesses that’s how I made pocket money when I was I was I was a teenager and then it was because I knew how to code though I was able to set up my business six med in 2013 and through that that sort of snowballed into so many different things and so learning how to code is in my opinion one of the very useful things that you can do with your time especially if you’re in lockdown at the moment whenever you’re watching the video and you’ve got nothing else to do learning how to code is a very useful thing you can do with your time and on brilliant there is a fantastic introduction to computer science course that teaches you all about the fundamentals of programming algorithms and how they work they’ve also got a really good introduction to Python course and Python is the world’s most popular programming language so you should definitely check that out at brilliant org forward slash alley and the first 200 people to go on that link will get 20% of the annual premium subscription so messages like that or sponsored messages within videos and the company would pay me a certain amount that I’m not allowed to disclose for including that sponsorship message in this video and in the video description you’ll find that link brilliant or /le and depending on how many people click on that the company will be able to track what the kind of return on investment is of this particular plug and in general if enough people click on that link then they will continue to sponsor my videos so if you’re interested in learning how to code or anything else you know math science computer science Britain it’s great click on that link and pull me up but that’s a source of revenue that I haven’t mentioned here because often companies will put a stipulation that you’re not allowed to disclose how much they’re paying you for sponsorships those numbers can vary for example Casey Neistat who’s a huge youtuber with 10 million plus subscribers he said publicly that for each sponsorship deal he makes somewhere between $10,000 and $100,000 per video and some deals he gets even more than $100,000 per video I am a fraction of the size of Casey Neistat but it gives you an idea of what sort of money people on YouTube can make with sponsorship deals which can be quite lucrative let’s talk about the totals so the the YouTube Adsense revenue was 947 pounds now a few I think a few months ago I made a video breaking down how much I spend in a week and the total for that was 701 pounds or how much is that eight hundred and seventy nine dollars I spent eight hundred seventy nine dollars a week and that includes my mortgage payment bills food electricity car insurance all the various apps that I pay for different things and I make more money than that off of YouTube Adsense and there’s all these articles on the internet about how not many people on YouTube make a living but if you can get to a certain size if you can get a certain number of views reliably and you can keep on churning other videos which means that those videos get more views but then also your older videos are more likely to get views you’re sitting on this really interesting source of revenue because YouTube is one of the very few platforms where we as the creator’s make money but you as the audience don’t have to pay for anything like it’s such a good business model where there’s value being exchanged in all fronts hopefully you’re getting some kind of value from this video and hopefully I’m getting some kind of value from that video from this video as well with the ad rates although I’m not sure how high they’re going to be on this video and you don’t have to pay a penny for it which is absolutely fantastic it’s the advertiser that’s paying for it and usually they’ll target the ad in a way that means that it’s actually a product that you want so it’s really fun becoming a youtuber it’s very doable yes it takes lots and lots of time and effort and hard work to kind of get there and obviously there was a load of luck involved I’m not taking credit for anything that I’ve done on YouTube it’s been a lucky break that I got and I didn’t really squander it and I was able to just churn other videos week in week out I’ve basically been been making at least one if not two sometimes three videos a week for the last almost three years without really missing a week as such and so if you’re willing to put in that level of kind of consistency then you can get to a level where YouTube income can quite easily fund your lifestyle and by easily I mean like one like obviously it takes ages to build up and at the start I made no money on YouTube and that I was making like you know a few cents a day on YouTube and I was making maybe $100 a month and then I was making maybe $500 a month but now I’m making what is this between three and four thousand dollars a month off of YouTube Adsense alone and that can fund my lifestyle pretty much indefinitely and so this is a great position to be in if you’re thinking of starting YouTube then absolutely go for it I’ll put some links in the video description to places that you can get with it the other really interesting one is Skillshare now I didn’t really think much about Skillshare they’ve been sponsoring some of my videos and I’d kind of taken classes on it because it’s good it’s like Netflix online courses you just take classes on Skillshare but I never really thought about becoming a teacher on Skillshare until a friend of mine another creator told me about his own classes on Skillshare and gave me a hint of how much money he was making and I saw his like skill share a kind of Revenue page and I was like whoa and that made me realize that you can make a few thousand dollars a month off a skill share with just a handful of online classes when we’re going down this whole passive income thing like really the objective is to create these multiple streams of passive income ie money that isn’t directly tied to your time and what are the easiest ways to do that is by selling something online and often the easiest things to sell online are educational materials because if you can teach something well then people are generally quite happy to pay for an e-book or a digital download or an online course and they get value out of it because they’re learning especially if it’s a skill that they then can then help them to make more money so for example one of the most lucrative ways to make money online is by teaching other people how to make money online now it’s not really what I do I made this course about how to edit videos if you want to become a youtuber and now I’ve made one about how to study for exams which isn’t included in this and I’m I’m sort of lining up lots of different Skillshare classes that I’m gonna be making over the next few months because the absolutely beautiful thing about about Skillshare is that it’s got the distribution built in I could make these online courses and sell them on my own website and charge more money for them but because I’m mostly I’ve mostly got a student audience I like the fact that a they can get a two month free trial of Skillshare which means they can just watch all my classes without paying a penny and actually it’s a very reasonable reason we pricing almost anyone who’s got a Netflix membership can afford nine dollars a month for a skill show membership that is objectively better for your life I like Skillshare in that sense and another thing that I’ve never won to do like all the creators that I know is guys this skill show thing is amazing you’ve got to become a teacher on Skillshare because it can be so lucrative and like we all have something to teach if you’re watching this now and you’re thinking oh I don’t know what I could teach you probably do have something and if you don’t you can learn something and then you can teach it because one of the great things about being a beginner in anything is that you can then teach other beginners you don’t have to be an expert to teach other people like I was only video editing for two years before I made the skill share class but as someone who was a youtuber for two years from scratch I probably had more of an idea of what beginners are going through than someone who was a fifteen year long professional video editor you probably would be able to appreciate what someone who doesn’t know anything about video editing actually needs to know to edit video as well so this is something that I would encourage you to think about what skills you can teach and what skills you can teach in order to monetize and skill shows one way of doing it selling courses on your own website is another way there’s a few different ways but Skillshare one that I like so overall from Skillshare from this one class which took me one day to film and took a freelancer two days to edit I’ve made one thousand four hundred and twenty eight dollars and 86 cents this week and that is more than my full-time job in being a doctor I work 63 hours to be to work 75 hours in total if you include travel time and I’m making more money off of this one skill share class that I made six months ago without having to do anything at all except occasionally reply to a comment on the class discussion page that is absolutely insane if you told me a few years ago that this was going to be the level where I’d be at with the whole passive income thing I’d have been like oh my god that sounds like the dream just a quick thing to add these numbers that I’ve shared here are just my personal numbers from the last six months or so purely just to illustrate how kind of teaching online can fit into a wider passive income strategy on Skillshare specifically the amount you actually make per minute of what time does fluctuate month-to-month depending on various factors and I’ll put a link in the video description to their official like a teacher handbook page that fully explains this but please don’t walk away from this video thinking that oh if I get this many minutes of watch time I’m guaranteed this much money there is no guarantee it’s all based on various factors just like with YouTube Adsense there is no guarantee of how much money you’re going to make per video it depends on a load of things that are outside our control but what we as teachers can do is that we can just try and make the best stuff possible that get some of the most people to watch it so yeah the thing to take away from this video shouldn’t be this is how much money on guaranteed to make if I start teaching online instead of purely to illustrate that teaching online can be a way to supplement your income and skill shares personally my favorite platform for doing that this whole like financial independence stuff has been one of my very few goals in life ever since I first discovered it when I first read Tim Ferriss is the 4-hour workweek which is an incredible book you should read it and it made me realize that you know I’m I’m in in medicine which is a very traditional field and a question that I often ask doctors and and friends and stuff at work and when I was a medical student is if you won the lottery would you still be a doctor half of the people say no they would leave immediately one person that was talking to a few I would say once they went even said you know I probably leave in the middle of the operation that’s how much he didn’t enjoy medicine but he had to do it because it pays bid paid the bills so half of the people that I asked if he won the lottery would you still be a doctor half of them said no I would just leave the other half said I would still be a doctor because it’s fun but I would do it part-time not one person in my last like six years of asking this question to every doctor that I meet basically not one person has said I would still be a doctor full-time I sort of realized this very early on in my medical career I was like okay cool that means that if I’m just being a doctor I don’t want to get to this point where I’m not looking forward to going to work on a Monday and I’m feeling like I’m shackled to my job that I don’t necessarily enjoy full-time because I have to be in the job to pay the mortgage to pay the bills and that was kind of what started me on this whole like idea of financial independence that if you can decouple the amount of money you need to survive from your full-time job that means that now when I go into work I’m not doing it for the money because actually I’m making a lot less money from work than I am from my other stuff I’m doing it because it’s fun even though I’m doing the same job just that mindset shift that I’m here because I want to be rather than because I have to be makes such a difference to my own happiness and I think actually makes me better at treating patients cuz that I can like collects mine and stuff and I’m making it perhaps I’m over selling this but I think if you don’t want to be potentially shackled to a job that you don’t enjoy and medicine is generally a pretty fulfilling career I’ve got so many friends in investment banking and law and management consultancy who absolutely hate their jobs but they need the job to pay the bills that is the main benefit of this passive income stuff if you can create these streams of passive income then at that point work becomes optional and if you want you can leave if you want you can go part-time if you want you can start something else it gives you the option whereas not having that doesn’t give you the option so skill show is amazing for that affiliate income total one thousand ninety five dollars and eighty two cents which is nearly what I made I know it’s a little bit a little bit less than what I made for my full-time job yeah that basically involves selling products on the internet but selling someone else’s products um it’s always probably better to sell your own products but if you don’t have your own product to sell yet then you can start by selling other people’s products and one of the great things about create creating content as a thing and you should check out Gary Vaynerchuk stuff if you haven’t yet one of the great things about creating content on the internet and giving for free like I try to do on YouTube is that when you do that you build up an
