How to do upfront work

Were talking about making money. Sometimes you need to do upfront work without certainty of potential income.

Many people assume, go on YouTube post videos and you’re golden, but many people just give away their labor for some views.

If you want to make money by doing upfront work, you need to get a deal before you do the work.

That could include writing a Kindle book, but publishing it with the deal attached.

It can be making a blog with monetization in place.

So you can definitely make money doing upfront work, but you won’t be certain about the income.

That’s why contracts and agreements are important.

Nobody would make 10000000 kebabs before they get the deal, but people make thousands of videos before they even have a change to earn… And that’s the problem of modern internet.

So the problem isn’t that you can’t do upfront work, you can, but you need agreement of potential revenue for the work you did or are doing.

Not like YouTube, Facebook – we will monetize your work someday, if you reach the monetization threshold.

So the platforms exploit their users who want to make a business, if they valued your work – they would pay you from the beginning. On Facebook or YouTube, it’s not upfront work when your content is not monetized, it’s just free labor for the platform, because when you publish you will get views, but not profit. So they benefit from your free labor.

They run ads on your content, but not for you, but for them. So you are left with nothing.

Getting DA DEAL™

The problem with online content for making money is that most people create content without DA DEAL™.

I created content for YouTube, for TikTok, for X, for Facebook, for Medium, for Steemit – all to realize I was working without DA DEAL™.

People say work hard, work smart, but when you work online you need DA DEAL™.

Because if you only work without DA DEAL™, you will be wasting so much time and effort and will be working for free.

So, before you even start ‘working’ online, get DA DEAL™ first.

DA DEAL™ is simply a way to get income without relying on DA DONATIONS™ or DA TIP JAR™.

Only handful of people online are actually generous, most are not.

Imagine building a YouTube channel, and you don’t qualify for DA DEAL™. That would be so upsetting.

So to sum it up – never work without DA DEAL™, because working alone won’t produce you any gains.

Content And Distribution

Creating content is very easy, and it doesn’t have to be good content to get views.

The problem for most people is that they CAN create content, but they can’t distribute it.

Elon Musk can post a “.” on x.com and it gets 100 million views on that single dot, but when you post a “.” you get just 10 views.

So there’s a fundamental flaw in the algorithms where they promote those who already have reach.

Content doesn’t equal distribution.

The algorithms on YouTube, X, TikTok, Facebook won’t give 100000000000000000000000 views for an account with 10 followers, the web doesn’t just work that way.

And you can drop masterpieces into the void.

So it makes sense to boost post if you want to distribute it beyond your 10 followers.

Nothing is going to happen if you just keep posting for the same 10-20 followers.

Sure you could grow organically but it will take years, not minutes because many people are trying to ‘grow’ on the same platform and are competing for the same attention.

Let’s say Facebook, it does not care if you post for fun, or try to build a business or you post a status update.

There’s the same problem on YouTube, if let’s say people type some search and see video 1M views vs 10 views, they are going to click the 1M views video, not 10 views video, and the thumb does not matter most of the time.

So, if you want to actually grow on Facebook or YouTube you need to buy attention on your content rather than just posting into the void. Spending money on posts to build an initial audience can save you years of posting.

Today the platforms are made to promote content, and I noticed there are views when you pay or have lots of followers, but not when you don’t pay and have 10 followers.

It’s not about the individual post quality.
