Why do you make money?

[t2van]

I think the problem with doing ads for other companies is you're kinda like their external employee and you have multiple bosses. One of the many reasons why I *don't* like what I do.

Is that what you do then @SilverClouds run / manage ads? Is that just PPC or a full spectrum?

Do you dictate the fee to them? Or are you fixed on what they have / come to you?

If you dictate as long as you can add a % for growth savings you should be OK?

Yeah I probably didn't explain myself well. Would've been a lot simpler in Hebrew.

I like to think that I have a company rather than being self employed. I'm involved with a lot, but not in every aspect of the business.

When it comes to money, I take my salary from the business, which is separated from the business' revenue or profits.

So.. I have a company, but my income is not directly tied to its success, so in a way you can say I also have a job.

Or did I misunderstand the question?

Yeah get the language thing.

Its OK.

No sounds like you have a business.

Hope you understood the differences I was trying to point out.

My thing was that many people have businesses which is great. But in reality most of them are just jobs with luxuries you often find that if you was to remove your self from that "business" the business would stop. So selling it can be hard or impossible when you want to exit unless you sell it to someone very similar to you.

Its a hard balance to find.

This is true to most service businesses, whether I'm an SEO agency, PPC agency or a plumber, isn't it?

I have many bosses in a way, but I see it as a diversification rather than as a bad thing.

I think service business can work fine you just need to add a % that is a profit for growth or goes into savings for a rainy day or whatever.

I like your point of view on this. seeing it as a game is really good.

For me, I just want to be free. free from the modern capitalism slavery. but maybe I'll change my point of view and start seeing it as a game. it's really fun to play such a game like this. a real life game.

As long as you survive, you can perceive it however you please.
Surviving is hard with just online income. so I do it as a game.

Why you say surviving is hard with just online income ?

Why you say surviving is hard with just online income ?

Because I put effort to things that are isolated from the rest.
One change in social media and my income is gone.
I'm not freelancing at the time. Clients left me as well.

It keeps me busy, and is more productive than playing games, watching too much tv etc

If I think too much about it, I feel that I'm just going to give up and go live in a cave, we work so hard, just to buy phones to watch AI generated garbage, jerk off with a bigger monitor, order some extra cheese in a carcinogenic pizza or afford to buy some temporary unnecessary luxuries and small pleasures, maybe I should just move to the forest and reject the modern world

You need to have a permission to be a forest inhabitant. That'll probably cost you money.

There's probably only one thing that I like with money.

You can order takeout whenever you want.

There's only one reason to make money for me.
