00:00What if there is a way to get paid to actually watch sports? It's true!
00:05So today I want to go over six ways that you can do this, okay?
00:09The first...
00:10Well, let me tell you a story real quick.
00:12I used to live in Southeast Asia.
00:15For two years in this country, and one day I was grocery shopping, and I met this...
00:20This dude, this guy, he was talking about being a sports reporter, and he was looking to hire some people.
00:25So I was like, alright, I'm interested, you know, I get paid, I want to watch some sports games.
00:30Seems like a win-win, right?
00:31So I go to his little...
00:33Oh.
00:35His place.
00:37And, yeah, I go through the training, I learn everything about soccer.
00:40Because it was not soccer, they had volleyball too, but it was just soccer in this country.
00:44And...
00:45I basically got hired, right?
00:47And go through training, I went to a couple games.
00:50And I watched how he did it, I did it, and I did a couple games, and I had a lot of fun, and I...
00:55I made some cash, and then one day, game, I went to this soccer game, and I was...
01:00What he had, the way we did it is through the phone, so we would tell them what was going
01:04on in the game.
01:05I think it had to do for, like, gambling or something, to update their apps, and they would...
01:10Pay someone to go, to make sure everything was accurate.
01:13And it sounds cool.
01:15And I started doing it, and you didn't hear what I was saying, so I had to repeat...
01:20Pay myself a few times, I basically got frustrated, and I quit.
01:24But I didn't get paid...
01:25And it is a cool little way to make some extra cash, and you could do it...
01:30And you're traveling.
01:31So it is real and legit, and I think nowadays, they have things where you have apps.
01:35Where you can actually do it through your app.
01:37This was a long time ago.
01:39Could be like...
01:4010 years ago, or something like that.
01:42But yeah, it's called A Real Time Sports Data...
01:45Analysis, you watch games, you tell them what's going on, and you get paid.
01:48So that's just one way.
01:50The second way is, which I think is even better, but slower, is...
01:55Blogging, YouTube, stuff like that, and...
02:00I know what you might be thinking.
02:01Well, blogging's dead, you know?
02:02What about AI and crap?
02:04Well...
02:05Obviously, blogging's not as good as, you know, 10 years ago, right?
02:09Um...
02:10But the power of the blog is, you can actually repurpose it in other places, like Substack...
02:15Medium, LinkedIn, and you can create a video from it, and AI can...
02:20Build some really nice blog posts, kind of like what I'm doing here with...
02:24You can have all...
02:25Kind of the little gadgets that you can put on there, created by AI.
02:28So there is definitely some...
02:30Value and power there.
02:31The bad news with blogging is...
02:34What it could take...
02:35It could take a long time to fully rank in Google, and I don't think anybody says this,
02:39but it could take like three...
02:40Three to eight months, depending on a lot of different things.
02:43But it's nice to kind of...
02:45Combine with other things, you know?
02:46That's what I recommend, um...
02:49To diversify.
02:50And obviously, it's the way the income works, is some people don't make shit.
02:55They don't make any money, and some people make really good money.
02:57So it's all over the place, okay?
02:59But it is a lot of fun.
03:00And what I like about it is it's so flexible.
03:02You can do it anywhere in the world, anytime.
03:05Even an hour, you know, a day, you know, you could do it.
03:10In any niche, you could do it in sports if you really want to do it.
03:14You definitely can make...
03:15Okay, all right.
03:17So that's my favorite.
03:18Next up is...
03:20A data support coordinator, okay?
03:23And what you're doing is reviewing...
03:25Doing live game fees to ensure that the data is accurate.
03:29You might be wondering...
03:30Well, why does this job even exist?
03:31Well, a tactical failure can be, like, a pretty big thing.
03:35That affects everything from the gambling, the scoreboards, to how many...
03:40Teams make decisions to win.
03:42So technology does all the heavy lifting, but...
03:45Nobody can make mistakes.
03:46So you're hired to make sure it's accurate.
03:49And that's also...
03:50It's also bad.
03:50Yeah, you've got to be very accurate.
03:53It's also seasonal.
03:54Because...
03:55Usually it's in baseball.
03:56It's fully remote.
03:58The pay is not the best either.
03:59Okay.
04:00There's also a sports content curator, you know, kind of like...
04:05You're managing feeds for your team.
04:08Updating injuries.
04:10For a team, ensuring the stats appear on the app that are accurate, it's very...
04:15It's definitely remote, fast typing.
04:17It's also low pay as well.
04:20And also, the more bad news, you have to always be armed mentally for the news and...
04:25It's limited growth for full-time roles.
04:28But you do get paid to kind of...
04:30If you want to follow your favorite sports team, you're active on social media, and you
04:33have a fancy...
04:35If you're passionate for fantasy sports, this might be your gig, right?
04:38All right.
04:40Next up is a sports data specialist.
04:44Basically, you're...
04:45You're entering charts, statistics, and player information into the...
04:50Spotting boards use my broadcaster's analysis, and usually cross-referencing live...
04:55It's mostly for football, and it's also mostly seasonal, and the pay is super low.
05:00But hey, if you love football, and you like geeking on our data in spreadsheets...
05:05You know, it could be a fit.
05:07And lastly is the AI sports training...
05:10You're a trainer, okay?
05:10You're labeling and organizing sports footage and data to...
05:15Teach the AI, and this reminds me of Microstock, where I've gotten into as well.
05:20So, where you take photos and videos...
05:23They also do it through illustrations...
05:25You get audio clips, and you upload that, and if somebody uses it, you get paid.
05:30Okay?
05:30And I'll give you some examples, because I'm into this...
05:34Is...
05:34I've done this...
05:35I've done this before, and I've uploaded it, and it'll actually reject it.
05:38Like, one place is called Shutterstock.
05:40And they'll reject my photo, right?
05:42Just to give you an example.
05:43But, they'll actually use...
05:45Use it to train AI, and I can get paid for that.
05:48So, it's kind of like that.
05:49It's...
05:50In some ways, it reminds me of it.
05:52All right.
05:53But, it's very flexible hours.
05:55And, you know, often writing short descriptions of why plays are labeled...
06:00Income can be higher, too, at, you know, $18 to $65 an hour.
06:04But...
06:05But, the bad news is the work can be random, tedious, and it can really kind of require...
06:10Expensive computers for your videos, but it can be done at home...
06:15And, yeah, I mean, if you're into computers and able to explain plays...
06:20You know, it could be a great fit for you.
06:22Sounds challenging to me.
06:23But, there's just a few ideas.
06:25But, really, there's a lot more out there.
06:26And, I know what you're thinking.
06:27Well, yeah, some of those work-from-home...
06:30Gigs are bullshit.
06:31And, you're right.
06:32Some of them are bullshit.
06:33I've gone through some of them.
06:35I actually went through this, like, class.
06:36It was about testing apps and websites.
06:38I'm like, yeah, that sounds great.
06:40So, I go through the train, got hired.
06:42I go on there.
06:43There's, like, no work.
06:44And...
06:45I never got one penny.
06:46So, but there are good ones, as well.
06:48I've done some work-from-home jobs.
06:50Where they were legit.
06:51I made some really good cash.
06:53So, it's all over the place.
06:55And, if you want to learn more, I actually have a video that goes over 10 steps on how
06:59to find...
07:00A really good work-from-home job, gig, or whatever you want to call it to make some cash.
07:05Because, let's be honest, we live in some crazy times, right?
07:08With AI.
07:10And, man, that's a bad job, too, man.
07:12I don't want to get into those stories.
07:15So, it's good to be kind of diversified, to be, you know, a little bit anti-fragile.
07:20But, I'll put the link to the video up around here.
07:22You can click it.
07:22You can click it.
07:23You can check it out.
07:24I'll put the link down.
07:25In the description, as well.
07:27And, you can check it out.
07:28And, yeah.
07:29Like and subscribe.
07:30The video, too.
07:31I'm totally not right.
07:33Anyways, have a wonderful rest of your day.
07:34Okay.
07:35Bye.
07:35Bye.
