​As an introvert, I’d rather help creators with their back end

I checked it and all surveys asking kids their dream career find that the winner by far is youtuber, tiktok creator, streamer, etc. The supply of creators is growing every single year because the internet and phones are becoming more and more accessible, especially in third world countries.

Luckily, that also means demand is growing for people who help monetize views and build boring backend systems.

If you have the discipline to put your head down and focus on boring back end tasks without filming yourself every single second (unlike creators), then getting clients will not be a problem. I’ve had to keep raising my fee just to avoid taking on more work than I can handle.

This also works with businesses. Not because owners are dopamine-addicted like creators, but because they’re just old. For example, I work with a crane rental company that rents industrial cranes for high-rise construction. I help them find contracts for 15 cranes per year totaling roughly $6M in profit for them. My 5% commission on that is not bad.

I guess ask me anything, just wanted to give hope to introverts still starting out. You don’t need to be public and exposed online to make money.
