Sam turned 19 in August, till now he had been working as a part-time waiter at a local pub in Harrow, still living with his parents and wondering what the future holds for him…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI even thought of going to Uni, but decided against it due to the cost and time commitment; I always wanted. to be a YouTuber like <\/strong>KSI<\/strong><\/a> and <\/strong>PewDiePie<\/strong><\/a>\u201d<\/strong>. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We all know it\u2019s not easy to become a YouTuber, there are many skills required so he started…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI <\/em><\/strong>learnt the basics of filming using my iPhone 7 and editing and created a bunch of content and my channel gained a few followers\u201d but there was no money coming in.<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The part-time job was hardly covering food and travel costs\u2026 plus Sam needed to earn \u00a31500 a month to be able to focus on his YouTube channel, and invest in decent lighting and sound equipment\u2026..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can I earn \u00a31500 was his dominant thought\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Join Deliveroo or UberEats a friend suggested, but that meant he had to get a bike and deliver food even in horrible weather\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arghhh, what else can I do to earn \u00a31500 a month? <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sam was at the pub doing his shift one evening when he saw the same person he saw on each shift, the Doorman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dave had been working as an SIA Licenced Door Supervisor for over 3 years for pubs, bars and restaurants\u2026 Sam asked Dave during the break how it is to work as a Doorman. Dave said he works part-time in a few places and does events over the summer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much do you earn, Sam asked Dave and there was a pause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a31800 to \u00a32200 depending on how much I work\u2026 Sam was motivated and decided to give it a go-ahead… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

ARE YOU CRAZY? <\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t do it\u2026<\/em><\/strong> you are not even big in size, you will get beaten were just some of my thoughts<\/em><\/strong>. I’m so glad I still went ahead and I am so glad I did…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

He booked the Door Supervisor course with Get Licensed, attended his 4-day course and applied for the SIA Licence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Total Damage for training and licence? \u00a3475 for an <\/strong>SIA licence<\/strong><\/a> valid for 3 years.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was just a week after Sam got his licence when he got his first shift. He received \u00a311.50 an hour, that’s \u00a33 an hour jump from his previous role. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward one year\u2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sam earns \u00a31650 a month and works 5 days a week and\u2026 He has invested in his Youtube channel and now has over 9000 followers. Sam is on his way to stardom, watch out KSI…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much have you made in the last 12 months Sam?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a31650 x 12 = \u00a319,800<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was earning \u00a3800 a month before that\u2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UPDATE:<\/strong> Sam has also moved out of his parents’ house last month. We asked him what he thinks about working as a Security Guard\u2026.I don\u2019t love my job, but I don\u2019t hate it either. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It works for me, I can focus on what I really want to do and earn too\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I couldn\u2019t find anything better where an investment of \u00a3475 gives an earning potential of \u00a31600 a month in no time.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
