It takes genius to succeed in many career paths, whether it be business, media or even creative arts, the path to success will be arduous and often includes many setbacks. So how exactly do you counter these negative influences on your dreams and ambition? Well, setting yourself up with multiple forms of income whilst waiting on prospective jobs and ideal careers is the perfect way to start.
Here are some ways to enable you to afford to just sit back and watch the job interviews/offers flow into your inbox.
Become a freelance writer.
Many websites are now demanding that much content, that the writers simply cannot handle the heavy quantities, which means that someone needs to step in and help out. In this case, it could be you, as sites will now advertise and hire for particular jobs/articles through a range of sites – and you will likely be able to add your endeavours to your CV should you complete some big projects.
Gambling.
Now, before we go into detail on this method, me must be clear to advise that long term and high-value gambling likely won’t succeed, but should you play methodically and take time to practice your chosen arts, you will likely see plenty of short term gains. This can be done by browsing the various exciting offers that casinos and bookmakers will offer customers – old and new – to come and play with (in the hope that you stay for longer and lose any profit you should make…and then some!) and taking advantage of the best ones. With many high quality games and variants out there, you should be able to find the right offer and earn yourself a tidy profit, before cashing out and waiting for the next opportunity.

Mystery Shopping.
This one is for those who intend to harness their inner detective, as the services will pay handsomely to those willing to test several companies. Are you a young upstart who needs some money to pay college and university bills? Well, testing shops to see if they ask for the correct identification when purchasing age-restricted products can help you there. Need an extra chunk of cash to pay a bill while waiting to see if you got that job you have worked hard for over the past few months? Well you could be in look should the right opportunity present itself to you.
Project your knowledge.
Teaching may be too much for some people, but becoming a personal tutor shouldn’t prove too much hassle. If you are clever, and were successful in a particular subject – whether it be at A-level, University or even at GCSE level, there is plenty of scope to lend people a hand as they strive to repeat the successes you have already achieved. OF course, it helps if your name is out there already, but don’t be afraid to advertise yourself in a free and simply manner, it can often be rewarding.
