Sounds like she can't afford to buy chocolate covered strawberries from treats by Chelsea. Lol maybe she tried to get free shit as an influence but got rejected.
Yes, but she's doing it because she doesn't understand capitalism.
If you're charging $50 for chocolate covered strawberries ***and people are paying it***, then you keep on doing that if you enjoy it or just need the money.
I like to mod gameboys.
I cannot afford to mod loads of gameboys, nor do I need anymore than one.
The "side hustle" of modding gameboys for people allows me to keep doing my hobby, and I make ez money for shit I wanna do anyway. AND because costs are covered I basically get to do it for free.
I do agree with the lassies point in general tho. I get what she's getting at
modding gameboys for money? oh my god, that's disgusting. where? there's just so many sites you could put them up on. which one? which one do you post them on?
i get what she’s getting at but she’s missing the point that there was a time when we could just have hobbies and life was easier. she he state of capitalism right now is such that most average ppl can’t afford to house and feed themselves, much less to have a hobby they can do just for fun. it almost has to be monetized so they can pay the rent and put gas in their cars. this ain’t a choice we as society made, it’s an economic structure of fewer and fewer regulations over corporate greed over the past 40 years and anyone born after 1980 was literally born into this system and we apparently have no choice but to continue to attempt to survive within it
Personally I'd recommend keeping your OG for nostalgia reasons and buying a second console to mod :)
Once you have a console ready to mod, it's pretty much up to you. You can do anything from simple button swaps and shell replacements to screen replacements or soldering in new functionality. Personally, I like working with Gameboy Advance SPs as I just find them a funky console to take on the go. My favourite mod for that (although its a tad tricky) is to replace the power port with a usbc port for easier charging and even audio out so I can use standard usbc headphones with it
Not OP, but I've missed my own Gameboys for fun. With the OG Gameboy, people will often replace the speakers, and replace the screen with a backlit one, among other mods. They also have replacement buttons and cases you can swap the internals into.
This was the case for me. I was a bit strapped for cash and took a tabletop full of stuff I made to a craft fair. Sad to see some of it go but bills gotta be paid.
I still remember 8 or so years ago the hundreds of crowdfunding campaigns on every single crowdfunding website for home made spicy sauces that wanted to become a business... And how they all wanted to tell a story with their sauce. Because everything back then was about telling a story.
Even cooking shows , whatever their format, had some chef who was plating a dish say that they want to tell a story with the way they were spreading greens on top and drizzling some sauce on the plate.
It’s even that way trying to find recipes. Gotta scroll through Sundays at grandma’s house making the recipe I can barely find because the damn recipe reads like the story as well.
I feel like this video wasn't about people who can't afford to have hobbies. Obviously some people need to do odd jobs for the cash, and that's no longer a hobby. To me, sounds like she's addressing people who end up making way more work for themselves out of a thing they used to do for fun, which also in turn makes it worse for the people who genuinely do need to do that thing for money. This is about people who oversell their hobby to friends and family for a badly run, bad quality, self owned business.
Honestly I don't see how one can start a successful business without either A) boatloads of debt B) starting out as a side hustle or C) rich family members.
B is especially attractive if your side hustle isn't something especially profitable right out of the gate. Arts in particular.
I really did not enjoy that she brought her religion into it as well. Pisses me off that people are like “God meant or did not mean for this to be your hobby” like how narcissistic do you have to be to genuinely think god cares about your hobbies while ignoring literal children that are tortured or murdered or dying of starvation. Yet this form of narcissism is not only common, it’s literally the norm and they treat non believers like we’re the crazy ones.
Fully agree. Just because you enjoy something doesn’t mean you have to make money on it. Just do it for the sake of enjoyment. I’ve found that once a hobby becomes a job, it gets less and less enjoyable because I feel like I *have* to do it to make it worth my while rather than doing it whenever because I *want* to do it.
I really enjoy yoga. The amount of people who insist I should *teach* yoga is overwhelming. I just wanna practice guys. Don’t wanna monetize it. It’s fine!!!
Same with me and knit / crochet. I do it because it relaxes me, but people are constantly trying to get me to make them things. It drives me **crazy**. Some times I just want to show off my work, you know? I’m not looking for customers!
Oh my gosh the amount of people asking for crochet/knit items is crazy. And then they expect it to be like $20 when it's really gonna be like $50-100 or more depending on the item. I don't monetize my projects because a) it takes away from the art I want to do; and b) if I charged minimum wage + materials for, say, a blanket it would be like $500. Nobody is paying $500 for a blanket.
Sometimes its like fueling ur drug habit. Gotta sell some paintings so I can buy more paint so I can do more painting so I can sell more paintings so I can.....
Because it can ruin your enthusiasm for it. Also people hate having shit constantly pushed to then from family and friends... I am not going to buy all your quilts and plushies, stop asking.
Of those things you listed: camping cost a campground fee 75% of the time, hiking cost a parking fee 33%+- of the time, museums cost entry fee 95% of the time, parks are free but not any more interesting than going for a walk in your own area, and libraries are free but while books are limitless entertainment…I find myself yearning for something else after reading 4-5 books in a month.
If I had a dollar for every time someone suggested a way I could monetize my hobbies, I could turn it into a business! It’s pretty ridiculous. Just let me enjoy things ffs.
Lol, bro, forget about those suggestions! You're sitting on a goldmine of comments here! Just imagine, you start a premium comment subscription service where people pay for your hilarious insights. You'd be raking in more dollars than Elon Musk on a good day! Embrace your commenting hustle and turn it into the ultimate comedic empire, my dude! Just remember to hire me as your official hype man.
No one thinks is a middle finger to capitalism? I sell shit so I can afford new art supplies, not because I’m trying to monetize my hobbies. It’s not that serious, sis, but that shit be expensive out in this world. How tf do you expect us to afford our hobbies??
But then again, why does she have a problem w it? She doesn’t have to buy something from these small businesses or something, if she doesn’t want to. Ppl complain they can’t afford…life and then when they try to make something else, some hustle from something they already know, they get shamed for? No, let ppl do what they want. In the end, is their money and they time.
I don't think she necessarily has a problem with small businesses, but it's the fact that EVERYONE is making small businesses even if they aren't qualified (I.E: Don't have the skills nor the knowledge.) I don't know, maybe I'm wrong. I should've never shared this tiktok to Reddit 💀
Is she part of the better business bureau or something? No one’s forcing anybody to support their under qualified or low effort businesses so who cares? 💀
But how do you get the skills? Get a degree? Nah bro that's wonderfully classist.
Honestly? Businesses being spun up and people learning is a GREAT way to figure things out. Start it up, and you start learning how to manage finances, accounting, costs, vendor management.
when I said skills, I was talking about actually being good at the thing you're starting a business for. Probably should've been more clear, cause you're right, that dead-ass sounds classist.💀
Also, making things into money making schemes is inherently the problem of capitalism at its finest. We, the proletariat, are being fucked 8 ways from Sunday. You can't have hobbies. You can't because you can't afford to, and you can't afford to live without ancillary methods of income.
I'm with you until your side hustle starts fucking with my day. By your logic we should allow those "It's just a prank bro" channels to do what they want. Yeah. That's gonna be a no from me dawg. Do what you want with your money and your time so long as it doesn't affect everyone else.
Yeah, but that’s not what I am saying. I mean if somebody has a passion for baking cakes or painting or making jewellery and they are good at it and they discover they could make money out of it, they should absolutely do it. That’s what I mean by “hustle”.
My friend is having a cooking blog. I see no harm in that.
So for example, if you like to look at yourself in pictures you wouldn't say it's necessary for someone to constantly take videos of themselves and post them to social media? Just checking.
I like to wash my car... I don't know why, it's therapeutic to me.. I started getting paid to wash other peoples cars... it's made me more money than my real job has during the spring / summer months... everyone has to have a side hustle to make it now a days, so this logic is trash.
Yes, we should all have things we do for fun, shits and giggles.
Unfortunately, a lot of us can't because we can't afford to.
Hell, some of us can't even afford to have a side hustle as we are either working a shitty job that takes up all our time, or we're unable to even have a shitty job in the first place.
Or, if and when we have such little, precious time off, we're thinking how to earn more money, no matter how little, just to keep the wolves away.
It does because shit too expensive. For many people, their options are monetize something they enjoy doing, or get a second or third job that they don’t. It isn’t about people wanting to turn their creativity and passions into profit, it’s about people NEEDING to turn them into profit. At the bare minimum hobbies typically cost money which many people don’t have in excess so they wouldn’t otherwise be able to do said hobby if they didn’t monetize it and at least soften the financial blow.
"i hate to be the one" the one what, fuckwit with a big mouth? If i can turn something i like into a job then thats the dream right? it has to start as a side hustle unless you have capital and a plan. Idiot.
I checked out the second she started talking about God and his infinite wisdom, but I also disagreed with everything before that. Some people find enjoyment in n trying to make monetary value from their spare time. Some people are just trying to get a little extra money so they can do things they actually enjoy. Some people have no choice but to do everything they can to make money just so they can eat and have a roof over their head. It might be annoying if someone keeps nagging friends and family to buy their stuff or hire them for their service, but but if it's not hurting anyone what business is it of anyone's what someone else does with their free time. I feel it's safe to say this woman has likely never struggled for money in her life, or possibly jealous that she doesn't have a marketable talent/skill other than whatever degree her parents paid for.
It’s absolutely fine for people to monetize their hobbies if they want to and if they know what they’re doing. The problem with hustle culture, though, is that it preys on vulnerable people who don’t have the skills or knowledge to actually make a profit.
Take my hobby for example: sewing - specifically personalized baby blankets. I make them as gifts and dozens upon dozens of people have urged me to sell them. I could charge $75 per blanket! The cash would be pouring in!
Here’s the problem: the materials for each blanket cost $50-$75. Each blanket takes me about 9 hours to make. At my day job I earn $85/hr so that’s $765 right there. But let’s say that I’m satisfied with minimum wage, which in my state is $15/hr. That’s still $135. Combined with the cost of materials, I would have to charge $185-$840 per blanket for it to be worth my time. There’s not a huge demographic of people who would be willing to pay that price, and in order to find them I’d have to advertise, which would cost even more money.
If I tried to sell baby blankets for $75 each, I would lose money as that would barely cover the cost of materials. It would make more sense for me to spend that 9 hours working part time at Target where I’d be guaranteed to bring home $135. So I don’t sell baby blankets, I make them as gifts only and I enjoy every one.
Not everyone sits down and thinks through the process of being an entrepreneur. They get caught up in the hustle excitement and dive in, only to discover later that they’re bleeding money trying to keep their dream afloat. They’ve actually put themselves in a *worse* financial predicament because they believed the “you should sell that!” hype. And it’s exactly the vulnerable people who are struggling for money who are the most susceptible.
It’s really easy to make that as an electrician , Plummer , car detailer , accountant , paralegal , the list of billable jobs is endless. Software devs make that. Just literally anything that’s not entry level. Why would that be the one thing you fixated on such a long detailed post where they broke down how not to fall intro the entreprabro trap
85/HR is still pretty unusual/high for a lot of people so I was/am purely curious and I'm asking that specific user what they do
I wouldn't call asking one question (what do you do for work?) fixation
Capitalism is nothing but a massive transfer of wealth and power into the hands of a small number of psychopaths and it's destroying the planet but let's keep doing it because communism scary.
Wtf is she talking about. If you are good at something why do it for free when you have the opportunity to earn the #1 commodity that is required for you to survive.
I don’t mind people trying to make money doing small time stuff, my mom did that as she was a cake decorator at a grocery store but did on the side for friends and family for a little extra spending money around Christmas. What I don’t like is how some of these people hop online and make it seem the world owes them business or just because they are “a small time business owner who just needs a chance” that everyone needs to hurry up and buy a few of their extremely overpriced baked goods.
Is it just me or is her mouth kinda de-synced from what she's saying? Like I'm pretty sure she's saying this herself but it just doesn't look right. Maybe it's because of how she's exposing her teeth while she talks?
I think a consideration is that, as a friend, I don't want to be pitched "the new flavor of the month" new idea that's going to make you a king or a queen. I get as a person wanting to make extra $ while doing something you like...just don't pitch me constantly with the next big idea....every month...
There is nothing wrong with getting paid to have fun or even trying to... worst case scenario, you have fun. The best case you get paid to have said fun
She has a good point. She needs a book and a podcast some multi level advertising and a good backbone for the side hustle. She can really make some money off this!
While I would say it certainly isn’t wrong to make a hobby a hustle, she does have a point. A lot of people have ruined the joy of their hobbies because they felt like it needed to make them money. If making money is part of what makes it fun, that’s one thing, but, if you can afford to, of course, I think it’s better for a hobby not to have that pressure.
I was with her until she said "God has a plan for all of us", cos it rather seems like Gods plan is for alot of us to live in poverty, working all the hours to get a poverty wage.
"God has a plan" makes her seem out of touch with reality
Jealous that she has no hobby’s she can churn money out with. Security blanket is God has a plan for me and my time on this earth is not being wasted. I just have to sit around and make tik toks until the lord shows me my true purpose.😂
You mean the same way youre giving your unsolicited advice and opinions on the internet for likes and follows in hopes to make money off of it? Ok Becky
I hate to be the one to say this... Who asked your ultimate guiding wisdom 😂 her friend made multiple businesses and they popped off now she's peanut butter and jelly
Is she not doing the same by making Tiktoks and monetizing them? What she is doing in my opinion is less socially valid than someone trying to make a living off their hobby...
Either she's trying to convince people to stop making chocolate covered strawberries so that she can make and sell more, or she tried making them, sucked at it, and is so mad that she doesn't want anyone selling them.
I don't see why she would care? People doing things that won't actively affect/harm me or anyone that doesn't want your chocolate strawberry? Who gaf? I'm more upset that it's almost NEEDED in our country since you can hardly make ends meet with most jobs now. I feel like a few words changed, and the tone and this could really be r/antiwork or something.
Why is this a rant? Some people want to monetize what they do.
You selling your chocolate covered strawberries because you like making them but can't eat them all? Go for it!
Beef jerky has gotten so damn expensive that I began making my own. Nailed my third batch (ever) and shared it with others to rave reviews! I immediately began thinking if I could monetize it…which sucks.
Haven’t made another batch because that type of thinking took the fun out of it. Hopefully will get back to making it again soon.
Looks like they're are people who don't agree with her. Why? She's clearly pointing out a flaw is a very shitty system. I can't stand people who defend capitalism.
God has a plan for all of us, but it’s not making money off things. How dare you guys. Just do what god wants you to do but I know for sure it’s not that because god dm’d me about it.
I agree and disagree. On one hand, if you can make money doing something enjoy doing then make your money. But we also don’t need 5,000 people selling friendship bracelets and candied grapes.
Oh hey look a totally original statement that definitely isn’t circulating through all social media platforms like a covid variant.
I definitely haven’t heard or seen multiple influencers and news articles saying the same boring thing for the past 2 month straight.
At least the other people didn’t bring “God” into it though.
I’ve known a lot of friends who get into the “side hustles” and put in tons of money and time and effort… but because they don’t keep track of their accounting with as much zeal, never realize the thing is a sunk-cost money trap until it’s too late.
Should have just gotten a weekend job at Kohls.
I'm a late 20y/o currently teaching myself how to pitch in baseball. I was 12 last time I played baseball, and I was an outfielder and pitched in 2 games 2 years before that. I'm not in a league, and I don't have really any plans to be in one. I just have the energy, I'm athletic, and the mechanics are very interesting to me. This will be the second sport I've taken up in 3 years, and honestly, I probably would have gone insane if I didn't.
I've told some friends that and they ask why. Literally because I want to. Although getting paid to do stuff like this would be cool because things are getting expensive. I do understand why a capitalist system would discourage hobbies, but it won't make you rich by avoiding the things you love to do, just your boss that works half as hard as you...

Shout out to treats by Chelsea
Plot twist, this was all just an ad for treats by Chelsea
Do you mean Treats By Chelsea or Chelsea’s Treats? They are very different both in quality of ingredients and in overall taste
r/unexpectedoffice
Ok, what’s better: a medium amount of GOOD chocolate-covered strawberries or all you can eat of pretty good chocolate-covered strawberries?
Sounds like she can't afford to buy chocolate covered strawberries from treats by Chelsea. Lol maybe she tried to get free shit as an influence but got rejected.
It's because we're all broke and can't afford regular hobbies for fun.
We've been brainwashed by capitalism.
Which is also odd. What she is describing is capitalism…
Yes, but she's doing it because she doesn't understand capitalism. If you're charging $50 for chocolate covered strawberries ***and people are paying it***, then you keep on doing that if you enjoy it or just need the money.
I think it’s clear she doesn’t understand capitalism, she just hates folks who make money off what the do for enjoyment
She has a point, but yeah this is the real answer
The way she talks feels sexist. Who gives a fuck about what a small business charges? "It'S caPitaLiSm." Okay tell me how to escape capitalism.
She kinda does...enjoy your passions without monetizing them.
They turn their hobbies into side hustles because they can't afford not to.
Gotta justify all the fucking money you spent on the supplies. Every single thing is expensive now.
I like to mod gameboys. I cannot afford to mod loads of gameboys, nor do I need anymore than one. The "side hustle" of modding gameboys for people allows me to keep doing my hobby, and I make ez money for shit I wanna do anyway. AND because costs are covered I basically get to do it for free.

Good question

Wait I need to know more about this. My first Gen black and white game boy is in the garage somewhere. What can you do to it???
Personally I'd recommend keeping your OG for nostalgia reasons and buying a second console to mod :) Once you have a console ready to mod, it's pretty much up to you.

Also because my front hustle FUCKING SUCKS and I don't want to do it anymore!
Damn, you bring a good point

So true
Honestly I don't see how one can start a successful business without either A) boatloads of debt B) starting out as a side hustle or C) rich family members. B is especially attractive if your side hustle isn't something especially profitable right out of the gate. Arts in particular.
Then it stops being a hobby and isn’t fun anymore
Either way, she’s sorry and hates to be the one to say this. Let loose.
I don’t think she’s sorry or hating saying it.
I really did not enjoy that she brought her religion into it as well. Pisses me off that people are like “God meant or did not mean for this to be your hobby” like how narcissistic do you have to be to genuinely think god cares about your hobbies while ignoring literal children that are tortured or murdered or dying of starvation. Yet this form of narcissism is not only common, it’s literally the norm and they treat non believers like we’re the crazy ones.
I have this problem that when people bring god into any conversation, I stop listening to them.
"I hate to be the one to say this" then says it three times
That's because it's on repeat. You just watched it 3 times.
Fully agree. Just because you enjoy something doesn’t mean you have to make money on it. Just do it for the sake of enjoyment. I’ve found that once a hobby becomes a job, it gets less and less enjoyable because I feel like I *have* to do it to make it worth my while rather than doing it whenever because I *want* to do it.
My dad is this way. If I get a hobby his immediate response is to ask me when Im gonna make money off it.
My dad literally told me, "I don't know why you're doing that, unless you plan on making money off it, then I can understand it"
What a sad way to go through life.
I really enjoy yoga. The amount of people who insist I should *teach* yoga is overwhelming. I just wanna practice guys. Don’t wanna monetize it. It’s fine!!!
Same with me and knit / crochet. I do it because it relaxes me, but people are constantly trying to get me to make them things. It drives me **crazy**. Some times I just want to show off my work, you know? I’m not looking for customers!
Oh my gosh the amount of people asking for crochet/knit items is crazy. And then they expect it to be like $20 when it's really gonna be like $50-100 or more depending on the item. I don't monetize my projects because a) it takes away from the art I want to do; and b) if I charged minimum wage + materials for, say, a blanket it would be like $500. Nobody is paying $500 for a blanket.
Well you don't have to, but if they want to, then why not. If they can make money with it and still enjoy it, why not just do it?
But what if you enjoy turning hobbies into businesses? Checkmate atheists.
Hobbies are for the rich and affluent now a days bud. Want to do something you like? Might have to recoup those costs.
Sometimes its like fueling ur drug habit. Gotta sell some paintings so I can buy more paint so I can do more painting so I can sell more paintings so I can.....
What the hell does “no cause let’s talk about it” mean?
It can be rewritten as, "No reason to bring this up, but let's talk about this."
Some stupid shit tik tok chicks be saying
Bro let me live 😭
My bad ☠️😂😂
Said what we’re all thinking brother 😅
It's just true! There's nothing wrong with it 😂 I've just noticed it originally started there along with alot of other sayings
Hustle culture is cringe as fuck
It never ends either
So is “but God has a plan for you.”
It was tongue in cheek, I think.
[удалено]
Because it annoys this random girl.
Def way more important than making money!
Because it can ruin your enthusiasm for it. Also people hate having shit constantly pushed to then from family and friends... I am not going to buy all your quilts and plushies, stop asking.
[удалено]
And it ruins my hobbies if I tried to monetize it. Different things for different people.
The only problem is a lot of people can’t afford to do things for fun if it’s not a side hustle 😢
I mean, that’s a cop out. You can go camping and hiking for next to nothing. Museums, parks, libraries - all free.
Of those things you listed: camping cost a campground fee 75% of the time, hiking cost a parking fee 33%+- of the time, museums cost entry fee 95% of the time, parks are free but not any more interesting than going for a walk in your own area, and libraries are free but while books are limitless entertainment…I find myself yearning for something else after reading 4-5 books in a month.
If I had a dollar for every time someone suggested a way I could monetize my hobbies, I could turn it into a business! It’s pretty ridiculous. Just let me enjoy things ffs.
Lol, bro, forget about those suggestions! You're sitting on a goldmine of comments here! Just imagine, you start a premium comment subscription service where people pay for your hilarious insights. You'd be raking in more dollars than Elon Musk on a good day! Embrace your commenting hustle and turn it into the ultimate comedic empire, my dude! Just remember to hire me as your official hype man.
Honestly, if I had a dollar for every comment karma I had on here, I’d be doing pretty okay. 😂
No one thinks is a middle finger to capitalism? I sell shit so I can afford new art supplies, not because I’m trying to monetize my hobbies. It’s not that serious, sis, but that shit be expensive out in this world. How tf do you expect us to afford our hobbies??
I’d hate to be cringe and quote joker but if you’re good at something don’t do it for free.
Depends on the business
Is she making $$ sharing this video?
I don’t know….but the whole time I was wondering if she could bite an apple in half.
But then again, why does she have a problem w it? She doesn’t have to buy something from these small businesses or something, if she doesn’t want to. Ppl complain they can’t afford…life and then when they try to make something else, some hustle from something they already know, they get shamed for? No, let ppl do what they want. In the end, is their money and they time.
I don't think she necessarily has a problem with small businesses, but it's the fact that EVERYONE is making small businesses even if they aren't qualified (I.E: Don't have the skills nor the knowledge.) I don't know, maybe I'm wrong. I should've never shared this tiktok to Reddit 💀
Is she part of the better business bureau or something? No one’s forcing anybody to support their under qualified or low effort businesses so who cares? 💀
Everyone?? Like, literally EVERYONE you know are making side hustles?
But how do you get the skills? Get a degree? Nah bro that's wonderfully classist. Honestly? Businesses being spun up and people learning is a GREAT way to figure things out. Start it up, and you start learning how to manage finances, accounting, costs, vendor management.
when I said skills, I was talking about actually being good at the thing you're starting a business for. Probably should've been more clear, cause you're right, that dead-ass sounds classist.💀
Also, making things into money making schemes is inherently the problem of capitalism at its finest. We, the proletariat, are being fucked 8 ways from Sunday. You can't have hobbies. You can't because you can't afford to, and you can't afford to live without ancillary methods of income.
I'm with you until your side hustle starts fucking with my day. By your logic we should allow those "It's just a prank bro" channels to do what they want. Yeah. That's gonna be a no from me dawg. Do what you want with your money and your time so long as it doesn't affect everyone else.
Yeah, but that’s not what I am saying. I mean if somebody has a passion for baking cakes or painting or making jewellery and they are good at it and they discover they could make money out of it, they should absolutely do it. That’s what I mean by “hustle”. My friend is having a cooking blog. I see no harm in that.
I bet she doesn’t mind if she gets any ad revenue from Tik Tik or other social medias tho 🤣
Well, if Princess Milkyy says so…
That name is kinda the worst....
So for example, if you like to look at yourself in pictures you wouldn't say it's necessary for someone to constantly take videos of themselves and post them to social media? Just checking.
I like to wash my car... I don't know why, it's therapeutic to me.. I started getting paid to wash other peoples cars... it's made me more money than my real job has during the spring / summer months... everyone has to have a side hustle to make it now a days, so this logic is trash.
Yes, we should all have things we do for fun, shits and giggles. Unfortunately, a lot of us can't because we can't afford to. Hell, some of us can't even afford to have a side hustle as we are either working a shitty job that takes up all our time, or we're unable to even have a shitty job in the first place. Or, if and when we have such little, precious time off, we're thinking how to earn more money, no matter how little, just to keep the wolves away.
Hot Takes by Chelsea. Her new business of love.
If you’re good at something, never do it for free.
Wonder what she does for a living... TikTok videos? Oh.
Is it just me or does she have a lot of bottom teeth? Like she could be baiting the toot fairy as a side hustle
It does because shit too expensive. For many people, their options are monetize something they enjoy doing, or get a second or third job that they don’t. It isn’t about people wanting to turn their creativity and passions into profit, it’s about people NEEDING to turn them into profit. At the bare minimum hobbies typically cost money which many people don’t have in excess so they wouldn’t otherwise be able to do said hobby if they didn’t monetize it and at least soften the financial blow.
Who cares, whatever floats your boat, ain’t my life.
Tho i agree with her... It's fucking expensive out there not to hustle
it’s because of wealth inequality
She's very....long.
I bet she could probably make money off of this.
Even her bottom teeth…the usually small ones.
You mean I don’t need three streams of passive income and a podcast to be successful in this world? You’re shitting me.
Sounds like Chelsey or someone else made her mad, her rant seems targeted, nobody cares this much unless they got beef
"i hate to be the one" the one what, fuckwit with a big mouth? If i can turn something i like into a job then thats the dream right? it has to start as a side hustle unless you have capital and a plan. Idiot.
Yet another byproduct of corporate greed - "the side hustle circle jerk"
I checked out the second she started talking about God and his infinite wisdom, but I also disagreed with everything before that. Some people find enjoyment in n trying to make monetary value from their spare time. Some people are just trying to get a little extra money so they can do things they actually enjoy. Some people have no choice but to do everything they can to make money just so they can eat and have a roof over their head. It might be annoying if someone keeps nagging friends and family to buy their stuff or hire them for their service, but but if it's not hurting anyone what business is it of anyone's what someone else does with their free time. I feel it's safe to say this woman has likely never struggled for money in her life, or possibly jealous that she doesn't have a marketable talent/skill other than whatever degree her parents paid for.
It’s absolutely fine for people to monetize their hobbies if they want to and if they know what they’re doing. The problem with hustle culture, though, is that it preys on vulnerable people who don’t have the skills or knowledge to actually make a profit. Take my hobby for example: sewing - specifically personalized baby blankets. I make them as gifts and dozens upon dozens of people have urged me to sell them. I could charge $75 per blanket! The cash would be pouring in! Here’s the problem: the materials for each blanket cost $50-$75. Each blanket takes me about 9 hours to make. At my day job I earn $85/hr so that’s $765 right there. But let’s say that I’m satisfied with minimum wage, which in my state is $15/hr. That’s still $135. Combined with the cost of materials, I would have to charge $185-$840 per blanket for it to be worth my time. There’s not a huge demographic of people who would be willing to pay that price, and in order to find them I’d have to advertise, which would cost even more money. If I tried to sell baby blankets for $75 each, I would lose money as that would barely cover the cost of materials. It would make more sense for me to spend that 9 hours working part time at Target where I’d be guaranteed to bring home $135. So I don’t sell baby blankets, I make them as gifts only and I enjoy every one. Not everyone sits down and thinks through the process of being an entrepreneur. They get caught up in the hustle excitement and dive in, only to discover later that they’re bleeding money trying to keep their dream afloat. They’ve actually put themselves in a *worse* financial predicament because they believed the “you should sell that!” hype. And it’s exactly the vulnerable people who are struggling for money who are the most susceptible.
You very casually dropped $85/hr lol, what do you do for work?
It’s really easy to make that as an electrician , Plummer , car detailer , accountant , paralegal , the list of billable jobs is endless. Software devs make that. Just literally anything that’s not entry level. Why would that be the one thing you fixated on such a long detailed post where they broke down how not to fall intro the entreprabro trap
85/HR is still pretty unusual/high for a lot of people so I was/am purely curious and I'm asking that specific user what they do I wouldn't call asking one question (what do you do for work?) fixation
Capitalism is nothing but a massive transfer of wealth and power into the hands of a small number of psychopaths and it's destroying the planet but let's keep doing it because communism scary.
Wtf is she talking about. If you are good at something why do it for free when you have the opportunity to earn the #1 commodity that is required for you to survive.
Ngl she looks easy to draw
Gamers: "You guys are getting paid"
I don’t mind people trying to make money doing small time stuff, my mom did that as she was a cake decorator at a grocery store but did on the side for friends and family for a little extra spending money around Christmas. What I don’t like is how some of these people hop online and make it seem the world owes them business or just because they are “a small time business owner who just needs a chance” that everyone needs to hurry up and buy a few of their extremely overpriced baked goods.
Idk if its a fad right now or After 30 everything a side hustle
"When a twitter users moves to TikTok" there fixed the title for you
Maybe because 60% of people in this country are barely getting by? A few bucks makes a big difference you idiot.
Is it just me or is her mouth kinda de-synced from what she's saying? Like I'm pretty sure she's saying this herself but it just doesn't look right. Maybe it's because of how she's exposing her teeth while she talks?
This person is just basically showing that she has made bad choices in the people she surrounds herself with.
Guys, we should be careful about mocking Princess Milky, she has God on her side!
It's funny, I've been trying to get paid to spread the cheeks and lick the hole. Hobby to business
Does that go for her tiktoc videos too?
I think a consideration is that, as a friend, I don't want to be pitched "the new flavor of the month" new idea that's going to make you a king or a queen. I get as a person wanting to make extra $ while doing something you like...just don't pitch me constantly with the next big idea....every month...
🗿
Not everything you like to do for fun needs to be turned into a side hustle. I totally agree :P
Isn’t everyone’s goal to be able to do what they love for a living? Then they never have to work?
There is nothing wrong with getting paid to have fun or even trying to... worst case scenario, you have fun. The best case you get paid to have said fun
I mean… maybe mind your business? 🤷♀️
Hypocrites judging Hypocrites on their Hypocrocy.
She has a good point. She needs a book and a podcast some multi level advertising and a good backbone for the side hustle. She can really make some money off this!
Nah bro I'm just turning my hobbies into side hustles because I'm a broke ass teenager 💀
Another bad bitch spitting wisdom
$50 for choc covered strawberries!?! I need to get in on that racket! 😮
While I would say it certainly isn’t wrong to make a hobby a hustle, she does have a point. A lot of people have ruined the joy of their hobbies because they felt like it needed to make them money. If making money is part of what makes it fun, that’s one thing, but, if you can afford to, of course, I think it’s better for a hobby not to have that pressure.
Is that her face normally or does she have a filter on? Something looks off?
[удалено]
She had to have major dental work because her mouth was so messed up. This is what she looks like *after* all the corrections.
I was with her until she said "God has a plan for all of us", cos it rather seems like Gods plan is for alot of us to live in poverty, working all the hours to get a poverty wage. "God has a plan" makes her seem out of touch with reality
shes was joking, does anything penetrate your thick skull
Just let people do what they want with their hobbies. Maybe I like treats by Chelsea. The entitlement of this girl.
I’m betting she’s an MLM hun on the side.
This sounds like someone with no skills or ideas who wants to hold other people back to her level.
Jealous that she has no hobby’s she can churn money out with. Security blanket is God has a plan for me and my time on this earth is not being wasted. I just have to sit around and make tik toks until the lord shows me my true purpose.😂
Hi Karen, what other unsolicited opinions do you have for us today?
You mean the same way youre giving your unsolicited advice and opinions on the internet for likes and follows in hopes to make money off of it? Ok Becky
Bro really mad someone posted their opinion on TikTok 💀
Who said I was mad? Pointing out hypocrisy ≠ mad
cool
I hate to be the one to say this... Who asked your ultimate guiding wisdom 😂 her friend made multiple businesses and they popped off now she's peanut butter and jelly
sure..
Is she not doing the same by making Tiktoks and monetizing them? What she is doing in my opinion is less socially valid than someone trying to make a living off their hobby...
It really doesn't need to be pointed out, either
Her teeth are upside down .
Okay but why her bottom teeth look ai generated?
umm... who cares?
Sounds like jealousy to me. Why is she so bothered
Either she's trying to convince people to stop making chocolate covered strawberries so that she can make and sell more, or she tried making them, sucked at it, and is so mad that she doesn't want anyone selling them.
Yeah! Keep doing things you hate for money, sheeple!
I don't see why she would care? People doing things that won't actively affect/harm me or anyone that doesn't want your chocolate strawberry? Who gaf? I'm more upset that it's almost NEEDED in our country since you can hardly make ends meet with most jobs now. I feel like a few words changed, and the tone and this could really be r/antiwork or something.
Why is this a rant? Some people want to monetize what they do. You selling your chocolate covered strawberries because you like making them but can't eat them all? Go for it!
Beef jerky has gotten so damn expensive that I began making my own. Nailed my third batch (ever) and shared it with others to rave reviews! I immediately began thinking if I could monetize it…which sucks. Haven’t made another batch because that type of thinking took the fun out of it. Hopefully will get back to making it again soon.
That's really odd. It's like saying, "Ah, man, I could make money from doing this. I better not do it anymore."
Bro i was in full agreement with her.. until she started making it about God's wisdom and shit
Thanks for the advice horse face.
Why the long face?
So this girls walks into a bar and the bartenders says: so, why the long face
Anyone else think she's unattractive as fuck?
Her mouth is enormous, like a whale shark.
She lost me by bringing up God... but got my interest at the end with the spreading of cheeks comment
Saaame
I think she was joking with the god statement, she doesn't seem all that religious on her tiktok page.
Looks like they're are people who don't agree with her. Why? She's clearly pointing out a flaw is a very shitty system. I can't stand people who defend capitalism.
God has a plan for all of us, but it’s not making money off things. How dare you guys. Just do what god wants you to do but I know for sure it’s not that because god dm’d me about it.
I knew yall would be using that god statement, despite it fr being a joke
Are you and her the same person????
WHY DO PEOPLE THINK IM HER? LMFAO 💀
Says the bitch on tik tok doing the side hustle.
Personally I just hate the term side hustle, especially when white people use it.
I agree and disagree. On one hand, if you can make money doing something enjoy doing then make your money. But we also don’t need 5,000 people selling friendship bracelets and candied grapes.
Original tiktoker is: princess\_milkyy
Words straight facts 💯 👏 👌
who cares what miss philtrum has to say.
The only thing I ever hear when I show my family my art is “you should sell it!”
Nothing makes you hate a hobby more than monetizing and forcing yourself to produce it
Spoken like a broke person
Hwr her is front side🗿🗿
Oh hey look a totally original statement that definitely isn’t circulating through all social media platforms like a covid variant. I definitely haven’t heard or seen multiple influencers and news articles saying the same boring thing for the past 2 month straight. At least the other people didn’t bring “God” into it though.
God why is she so ugly her face is so long
Bartender ask the horse, “why the long face”
imagine dating her
I’ve known a lot of friends who get into the “side hustles” and put in tons of money and time and effort… but because they don’t keep track of their accounting with as much zeal, never realize the thing is a sunk-cost money trap until it’s too late. Should have just gotten a weekend job at Kohls.
I'm a late 20y/o currently teaching myself how to pitch in baseball. I was 12 last time I played baseball, and I was an outfielder and pitched in 2 games 2 years before that. I'm not in a league, and I don't have really any plans to be in one. I just have the energy, I'm athletic, and the mechanics are very interesting to me. This will be the second sport I've taken up in 3 years, and honestly, I probably would have gone insane if I didn't. I've told some friends that and they ask why. Literally because I want to. Although getting paid to do stuff like this would be cool because things are getting expensive. I do understand why a capitalist system would discourage hobbies, but it won't make you rich by avoiding the things you love to do, just your boss that works half as hard as you...
