So can you share with us some of those high paying skills, those high income skills that will help me make more money? And so I said, you know what? That's a great question. How about I just do a video about it? So on this video, I'm going to give you seven high income skills that will get you a high demand job that's going to be in demand for at least a decade or more. And the beauty about all seven of these skills I'm going to give you is that you don't need a college degree to get them. Now I want you to stay tuned for the end because I'm going to give you three extra bonus skills that are going to help you as well. Now guys, the name of the game is more income, but to get more income, you've got to increase the value that you bring to the marketplace. So how do you make yourself more valuable? Well, you gather these high income, high demand skills that I'm going to talk about in this video. And let me say this up front. These are not soft skills. These are actual highly specialized skills that require some training, some experience, some knowledge, and some expertise. Nothing's wrong with a college degree, right? A college degree is good because it's going to give you more options. And one thing you always want in life is more options, but it's not necessary to get these high paying skills and these skills are transferable. So you're not limited to one industry or one company. So let's jump right into it. Now the first high income skill that's going to be in high demand over the next decade or more is simply guys, the trade skills. Now a lot of jobs and skills I'm going to mention on this video have to do with it, but I wanted to start off with the old school trade skills because they're still in high demand and they're going to be in high demand down the road. And when I say trades, I'm talking about the electrician, the plumber, the construction worker, the paramedic, the landscaper, the carpenter, the airplane mechanic. Look, all trade skills require a certain amount of technical expertise and they also require human ability and human thinking, right? And you want to be at the top of your field in these trades, right? You don't want to be just a plumber, but you want to be one of the best plumbers in your city, in your area. So don't slip on these old school blue collar trades. These trade skills will be in demand over the next decade and longer, right? Because there's always a need for an electrician, right? There's always a need for somebody to fix that sink or fix that plumbing always. And many of these trades, they pay over 80, $90,000 a year and they don't require a college degree and many of them, depending on where you're located, could be well over six figures as well. Now, the second high income skill that's in high demand and going to be in high demand for at least another decade is copywriting. Now copywriting is the art of writing engaging and persuasive content to make readers take action, like buy something or sign up for an email list or something like that. But copywriting is a skill that anybody can actually learn to do and all types of businesses, they need the skill of copywriting. Why?

And they also need someone who's going to be able to write to help influence customers and consumer behavior using copywriting skills for social media, emails, and marketing materials, you name it. Every company, small or large, is trying to be seen and trying to get attention on the internet or social media somewhere. Copywriters can help increase social media engagement by creating copy that actually speaks to readers and speaks to consumers. And the whole purpose is because copywriters help businesses sell products, persuade consumers, put out better blog posts, put out better and more effective press releases, marketing materials, product descriptions, print ads, emails, banner advertising, all kinds of stuff requires the skill of a copywriter. It's a high paying skill. Freelance copywriters can make six figures. The best copywriters, they make seven figures. So this is not small change we're talking about. Now let's go to number three.
