When your young, pretty, and ambitious the world is yours for the taking. Therefore it’s best to use your time wisely. Now is the time to make moves and mistakes to get yourself ahead. Unfortunately not many of us were born with a silver spoon, so strategizing a way to make money and move from the bottom is the only option.
At 18 I didn’t have enough money for college, hated my home life, and had no idea what I was gonna do with myself. My family was of little help, and mentors were nonexistent. All I knew was I was “suppose” to be in school, but couldn’t afford it. I didn’t even think I qualified for a reasonably good job. If I knew then what I know now I would’ve already been rich.
If you’re ready to make a major change to your life, and pursue the life of your dreams it all starts with money (and mindset!). Being beautiful and savvy has the power to heavily influence your socio-economical standpoint in life.
Disclaimer: not all jobs listed require being beautiful as a prerequisite, thought it always helps!

1. Blogging
Blogging is something anyone can do if they’re willing to put in the work. If you have no technical skills you can easily learn or pay someone to create your website (find someone on fiverr or upwork at affordable prices).
There’s many ways to make money blogging. Ad revenue, affiliate marketing, sponsored posts, brand partnerships, and selling your own products (physical and digital).
I do a few of those now, and hope to expand as this site continues to grow. Especially my own products and brand collaborations!
2. Amazon
There are two ways to go on Amazon: retail arbitrage or fba. Retail arbitrage is when you resell (usually new) branded items at a higher price for profit. Think buying from Ross or Trader Joe’s than listing and selling for a higher price. If you don’t have much money and want to flip rather quickly this is your best bet.
While fba, I would say, is the next level. It’s when you buy product in bulk, brand, and then sale. Mostly buying from Alibaba. The fulfillment (shipping to customer) is done by Amazon. I’m oversimplifying the concept, but nonetheless that’s the idea. You’ll need more start up cash for this than retail arbitrage.
3. Poshmark or eBay
I personally have had a great experience selling on both these platforms. It’s super easy and you don’t need to be an “established” seller to make money on either.
On Poshmark I sell my own clothes, or buy off of AliExpress, mark up the price, and resell (works best for trendy items, but the lead time is ~ 3 weeks, so keep that in mind).
On eBay I sell books, jewelry, bags, electronics, and basically any item I no longer want. I suggest these platforms if you’re doing reselling, and want to build a business that way.
4. Provide a service
If you are in college, especially a dorm, I highly suggest providing a service. Hair, lashes, nails, cleaning, laundry, or any kind of service really. By far a service based businesses have the lowest barriers to entry.
Plus, services are always needed! And are a recession proof business model. Services in the beauty or domestic industries are always sought after.

5. Findom
If you haven’t heard of findom before it is something you’ll definitely want to look into.
Essentially, findom is a financial dominatrix, and overwhelmingly takes place online. Men, that have never met you, will pay you to give them attention. You meet what are known as “pay pigs” online (Twitter and various website) and they send you money because you’re “worth it”. Again, I’m oversimplifying it, but look it up as it can be very lucrative for the right women.
6. Members Only Clubs
Great way to network, and meet people. These exclusive clubs are swimming with successful men (and maybe a potential husband?)
The tips are good and access to upper crest of society even better. If you’re looking to rub shoulders with the upper echelon, and work you’re way up from there I suggest this way.
7. E-commerce
Creating a online store imo is one of the best ways to make money online. These days it’s so much easier to reach your target audience using social media.
If you’re a marketing guru and have a good understanding of your product, and the audience that would like it. The sky’s the limit!
8. High Paying Commissions
From real estate, insurance, luxury sales. There’s good money in the commission of high priced items.
This career field requires sales skills. If you’re a people person and have great communication skills then this may be the field for you!
9. Flight Attendant
While the money may be limited at first as the years go by your earning potential will (as with anything). Being a flight attendant seems to have a lot of perks: free travel, exposed to new interesting people daily, and did I say TRAVEL?!
No, but seriously a young beautiful woman could easily take advantage of a job like this. Your future husband might just be on a flight or in the airport!
To be honest there’s infinite ways of making money. You just have to figure out what works best for you. In the words of Jay-z “I got a million ways to get it. Choose one”.
