Earn While You Learn

Love this thread from Max Bernstein, who earned $10,119 while learning a new skill.

With extra time on his hands at the start of the pandemic, Max wanted to learn video editing. He got a $39 lifetime deal on some video editing software and then…

I created a Fiverr profile and listed my services for the smallest amount possible of $5 with unlimited revisions.

See Max’s Fiverr gig here.

His hourly rate was effectively peanuts 🥜 but it accelerated his learning massively…

Fast forward a few weeks, and I had completed a handful of videos, acquired reviews on my profile, and, more importantly, built confidence.

A lot of people feel the need to practice practice practice before charging for their services, but Max’s approach is far better, IMO. Not only do you learn much faster this way, but you also earn some money, build a real portfolio, and gain valuable experience working with clients.

What new skill could you try this with?
