Real estate. always.

35k is enough for a down payment on a small apartment. If you have a job, you can usually get a loan from most banks.

With good preparation and patience, you can cover all your costs by renting out your property and generate a monthly profit.

The best method that worked for me:

Change your location. Notice how your brain begins to change as you distance yourself from your daily distractions.

Practical:

- Book a flight to Europe (if you're in the US) for two weeks. Or book a flight to the US (if you're in Europe) for two weeks.

- Bring your laptop.

- Set a deadline for your project on the tenth day of your trip.

I started out as a freelance marketer, selling WordPress websites to small businesses.

Over time, more and more of my clients began demanding CRM systems and automation.

Eventually, I expanded my technical skill set and studied computer science.

Conclusion:

Learn marketing — not just advertising, but things like positioning, understanding customer needs, and even cold calling. Or: get someone on your team who does understand marketing.

Current market needs (from my perspective) that a tech freelancer can solve and "easily" sell:

Websites for small businesses

CRM systems and automation

AI agents for mid-sized businesses
