? I have no skills. No money. No network.
I’m starting from absolute zero.
And I need your help. ?

1/
I’m not here to sell you anything.
I’m not pretending to be some expert.
I’m just someone who’s tired of being stuck — and I’ve finally decided to do something about it.

But I don’t know where to start.

2/
I have:
• No fancy degree
• No money to invest in paid courses
• No friends in high places
• And no time to waste

All I have is:
• Internet access
• A drive to learn
• And the willingness to grind from the bottom

3/
I want to learn a real, in-demand skill that I can use to start earning as soon as possible.
But I’m overwhelmed by all the choices.
Coding, editing, writing, design, AI, analytics — I don’t know what’s right for me.

And I can’t afford to waste months on the wrong thing.

4/
So I’m asking:
If you were in my position — no money, no experience, just hunger — what ONE skill would you learn?
And what’s the best 100% free course you’d recommend to get started?

No fluff. No upsells. Just real advice.

5/
I’m not looking for shortcuts.
I’m ready to commit 2–4 hours every day for the next 30–60 days.
I just want to make sure I’m learning something that has:

✅ Real earning potential
✅ A future
✅ Free learning resources

6/
I don’t want to be stuck in this same position 6 months from now.

I want to build skills.
I want to earn.
I want to grow.
Even if it’s slow. Even if it’s hard.

I just want to start. The right way.

7/
If you’ve been in my shoes and figured it out — please drop your recommendations below.
A course.
A YouTube channel.
A roadmap.
A skill that changed your life.

I’m listening. And I’m ready to put in the work.

8/
?End.

I would recommend to find what you are passionate about. Even If it's something strange or feels stupid you can find the way to monetise it. Use AI to identify your strength and weaknesses.

I was in the same shoes 3 years ago when I started trading. It's a long process but it pays off after hours and hours of working and failing. Crypto is a big niche in a market still. I would definitely recommend to start learning it and find what you like. about it. Then you can start thinking of ways how to monetise it.

For example, creating memecoins is nearly 0 risk job and with some time you start understanding what market needs and you can earn 1000 dollars every day. Also there are lots of tools, which makes you life easy now not like 3 years ago when thee was no tutorials and understanding at all.

The reality is, you probably will be in the same position...

"I want to build skills."

Unless you land on your feet, accept that it could take a bit of time to figure stuff out. That isn't a criticism, it's just reality. Too many people start from scratch, the going gets tough and they give up before they even start.

"I want to earn."

Get a job if you need money right away. But if you can wait and dedicate time to improving yourself, are you truly driven enough to succeed?

"Even if it’s slow. Even if it’s hard."

This is the crux of it, you want to hit the floor running within 6 months, but then you say you're willing to wait and put the hard yards in...

My advice, you need to figure out what your passions are...

No point in slogging it out trying to learn Javascript or Python or whatever if staring at a page full of code is going to make your eyeballs melt.

Every man (and woman) and their dog claims to be an expert in SEO and PPC. Obviously, the new fad is AI/LLM optimization. Seems everybody is an expert now so you can either join a long queue and focus on getting freelance clients or use these skills to go it alone building and driving traffic to your own website or venture.

Honestly... 5+ years ago, these posts were everywhere on forums, on Twitter, in Facebook groups. Its always the same advice over and over...

Sure you have no network, but you don't need one to get started on your learning journey. Now you literally have the World's knowledge and insight right at your finger tips. Go ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, etc.

Tell it what your hobbies are, tell it what your skills are, are you good at story telling? Are you good at writing? Are you gifted at selling? Are you great at drawing?

One you figure that out, YouTube is filled with course videos, some good, some not so good. Sure a lot of these creators put their best content behind a paywall, but if you can learn just enough from their free content to get going, there is every chance you'll figure the rest for yourself or you'll have the money to invest in their paid courses.

Ultimately, you need to figure out for yourself not only what you want to learn, what you're good at, what interests you. But also what you wantt o learn about, what will interest you and what will ensure you're sticking at it in 6 months without giving up
