Here’s how I created more than one successful income streams by the age of 22

Dreaming big, struggling to find an affective business idea, or focusing on getting financially free is something every person does after realizing that money can actually change one’s living standard. Yes, just like you I’ve also gone through such moments of being blank and knowing nothing about creating more than one income sources. You must have heard that cliché quote that “money is not everything”. Well according to me that’s bullshit because when it comes to surviving in a community full of competition and ruthlessness, you’ve no way other than leaving your comfort zone and work for your brighter future.

I always preferred doing a business on a small scale rather than saying “Yes Sir!”. And to accomplish that milestone, I started finding different viable ways of earning. So I ended up jumping into the world of freelancing, my very first income source which was more like a no man land for me because I had no skill set at first. However, after some research and figuring out my interest, I selected graphic designing and started polishing my skills in it. I created my portfolio and then tried to find clients for projects. Luckily I got some permanent clients who provided me with new projects which helped me earn a good amount of money. I freelanced for at least 6 to 8 months.

After that while I was working a graphic designer, I started seeking for another income source which was more like a passive income source. It was publishing eBooks on Amazon KDP. I set up a target of publishing at least 20 eBooks on Amazon which wasn’t easy at all. But I knew what I was going for. So I just had to save some extra hours from my daily routine and dedicate them to writing, designing, and publishing eBooks on Amazon. I wrote on different topics which I don’t remember now but still those pdf files are earning passively for me. I’ve setup my Payoneer account to receive those payments from Amazon every once in 2 months. So yes that became my second source of income.

Now as I was able to build two successful income streams, I was headed for third one. And this time I wanted to run a small scaled physical business based on one product only. So again the research work began and I finally selected a product which already had a great market in my locality. So without wasting time, I bought it in bulk and started marketing it. With a small investment the returns were not that much big but they were more than enough for me at the age of 21. I ran that business for at least an year alone. And while freelancing it was getting tougher for me to manage everything so I invited my close friend to become my partner and manage that specific business in my absence. And again, I made a good decision because it actually released half of the burden. On the same side I was monitoring him while doing freelancing and we literally generated some good revenue together.

Yes, I know that you must be wondering that how is that even possible? How everything was going so smooth? Right? Well, it is what it is. I had a clear mindset. I knew what I aimed for before starting my journey. I literally had no doubt on my capabilities. And I agree, there were moments when I nearly lost my motivation due to over burdening myself. I had no time for my self. But I gathered myself back again on the track I was going on. See, that’s the power of self-esteem. If you’re clear headed then nothing can stop you from achieving your targets.

Becoming a good graphic designer, earning from eBooks, and scaling my small business was already a lot for me to digest that I managed to do that all at such a young age. However, I didn’t stop there. In the mean time trading in financial markets like crypto and forex actually started alluring me and I was so keen to learn more that I just joined different communities on Facebook and Instagram. I was aware by the fact that playing in such highly volatile market can be costly, so I had to learn and practice trading on demo accounts. And I’ve gone through that process of enhancing my trading skills before I jump into that financial ocean. After that when I felt I was ready enough to start investing, I separated a specific amount of investment from other income sources. At first I had to bear some losses but with time and experience I became capable of booking profits from different crypto projects.

So that is how by the age of 22, I successfully build more than one income sources for myself. And who so ever thinks that it all happened over night, believe me it didn’t. I spent restless days and sleepless nights to get here. The only key to success is commitment and consistency. You just got to stay motivated and have faith in yourself. No fortune is made over night. You have to work hard enough to prove yourself and survive in this world. If a person like me can achieve so much then you my friend are capable doing even more than this. Just trust yourself and good luck.
