Billy Gene: Why Authenticity Beats Hustle in Modern Marketing

This is why so many people lose money in like crypto, not saying you can't make money in crypto, but like, or they lose on a bad investment because people want to make a smart move. In other words, they don't want to work a lot because when you make a move, you just, there's a burst of energy and then I'm done. Right now, you know this, but like how to really make money is to develop a skill.

But why don't people want to do that? Because it takes forever and it costs money. So, for example, if somebody goes like, look, I want a guaranteed way to make three hundred thousand dollars a year, just go be a doctor. Go be a doctor. But why aren't you doing it? Because you don't want to spend a decade. You don't want to invest $350,000 because you're looking for a move.

You're not looking to really acquire a skill that's in demand or unusual. And so like hustle for me, when I think of it, I think somebody is like, what's the move? What's the play? And that is short term, unlikely, improbable and doesn't pay that well. Most of the time.

Good question. Well, it was a month, not a day, right? To make 10 to 30 a day, that's going to take more time, right? But the truth is, it can be done if someone's willing. It's going to be hard. The odds are against you. But I would start off with one, selling something people actually need. And so, for example, what's the best analogy I can give you this? Let me actually take a step back.

I would say first step is timing. So many times people are trying to make money, but they're just in at the wrong time. So give me an idea. Like I got into Facebook advertising 15 years ago. And the reason why people miss timing a lot is because timing isn't sexy. So for example, when I got into Facebook ads, nobody wanted to learn Facebook.
