Hi, I'm a 21 years old student who doesn't have great business skill. I'm an expert on typography but I needed more to create business. I've published a font that generates 200k download but I wasn't charging anything. (some people even donated $20, which is sweet for a college student)
So, last month, I decided to learn a high-income skill: copywriting. But then after several weeks learning, I feel like I'm not contributing anything to achieve my goal to hit my first $500 from business (that's enough for me to live well for a month in Indonesia).
Don't worry I'm not money-chaser, but thinking about learning for years ahead made me think: Am I action-faking? I'm not getting any closer to creating value for others.
My question: Is learning actually action-faking? Is it better if people just find a big problem, hire someone else to do it for them?
