Earning a lot of money fast with Instagram

As a freshman, it quickly becomes clear to me: I need more money. I had imagined it a bit easier. Boston is more expensive than I thought. I grew up near Scranton, Pennsylvania, and prices there are completely different, from rent to a night out at the nearest bar. I figured it would be different here, but like this?

  • Rent
  • Utilities
  • Books
  • Groceries
  • Parties
  • Clothes

Everything is just expensive, and my parents are regular employees and I don't want to burden them unduly. So it's clear, I have to earn a lot of money fast. My friend said, let's do something on Instagram, because you can earn a lot of money fast with it. Just, please, with what? If we do it, we should stand out!

We quickly hit our limits and didn't really come up with any good ideas. Travel reports means we'd first have to actually travel. It quickly became clear we wouldn't make it with this, earning a lot of money fast is an illusion for us.

Earning a lot of money fast with YouTube

Maybe YouTube will work. What we can do is sing well. We took heart and recorded each other, covering old songs by Sade and stars of the 80s. Modern and freshly reinterpreted, we put our songs online, and we got a little lucky and a few thousand views gradually came together. We can't yet confirm earning a lot of money fast with it, but we're carrying on.

Earning a lot of money fast can also be exhausting - my brother shows how it's done

My brother has been studying in Boston for a while, and he earns his money working big city events and festivals. He can earn a lot of money fast that way, namely a few thousand dollars in 14 days. It became clear to us that earning a lot of money fast can also involve sweat and serious physical effort.

He recently put us in touch with a contact, and at the next big festival we'll be there, behind the scenes. We'll stick with social media and keep going, but we're also going to see how we can earn our money at the next festival.

My brother smiles at us condescendingly and says we can keep trying on YouTube, but it would be a good idea if we got a reality check. Earning a lot of money fast will definitely happen here, but also, very quickly, some seriously strong sore muscles.

That's student life! As they say, apprentice years are no picnic! My grandma is simply right, as always!
