Video summary
The video introduces seven high-paying online careers that can be performed at night, emphasizing that success in these fields often comes from targeting time zones where labor supply is low while demand remains high. The speaker explains that by working during hours others avoid due to their own schedules or geographic location, individuals gain significant leverage over employers who need the work done immediately. This strategy applies across various industries, ranging from healthcare support roles to digital marketing and cybersecurity, allowing people to earn substantial incomes without needing traditional nine-to-five commitments.
One of the primary examples discussed is remote patient monitoring, where workers track vital signs for patients in a dark room using specialized software that monitors health data continuously around the clock. Entry-level positions such as patient safety monitors or medical assistants can be found on platforms like ZipRecruiter and often require only a high school diploma rather than an advanced degree, with salaries ranging from roughly $39,000 to over $100,000 depending on experience and location. Another major opportunity highlighted is email marketing, which involves planning campaigns that may need to be sent during off-hours to reach international audiences or manage drip sequences. Specialists in this field can earn between $80,000 and $133,000 annually by mastering specific platforms like ConvertKit or ActiveCampaign and utilizing cold emailing skills to secure clients without needing a college degree.
Further options include becoming an expert network consultant for firms that connect investors with industry insiders via phone calls conducted in the evenings, potentially earning between $96,000 and $177,000 if working full-time. The video also covers bug bounty hunting, where individuals identify security vulnerabilities on company websites to earn rewards per valid finding, a field accessible even without a computer science degree through self-study resources like the PortSwigger Web Security Academy. Additionally, AI data annotation is presented as a lucrative path for those with coding or STEM backgrounds who can train artificial intelligence models by reviewing responses and solving complex problems, with top-tier earners making up to $130,000 per year on platforms such as Outlier and Move Works.
The final two categories focus on no-code web design using drag-and-drop tools like Webflow or Squarespace, which allows designers without programming skills to build professional websites for clients while working flexible hours, and YouTube-related roles such as thumbnail designing where creators craft clickable cover images that drive traffic and revenue. The speaker notes that skilled thumbnail artists can charge hundreds of dollars per image or secure monthly retainers from content creators who upload frequently. Throughout the discussion, the narrator stresses that these opportunities are backed by real data and testimonials rather than speculation, encouraging viewers to start immediately using existing laptops while conducting their own research regarding salary estimates which vary based on individual circumstances.

So today we're going to be talking about
seven high-paying online jobs that you
can do at night. And by the end of this
video, I promise at least one of them
fits the hours that you actually have.
Now, some of these are going to pay over
$100,000 a year. Some pay less but start
faster. And some you could begin tonight
on the laptop that's already probably in
front of you. And by the way, this is
coming from someone who spent years and
a small fortune landing a six-figure
career, went $300,000 in student loan
debt to get it, and then hated it enough
to walk away from it, and then spent the
last decade studying which careers
actually pay. my business partners and I
have helped over a thousand documented
cases, documented testimonials from
people who landed these jobs. So, when I
tell you that these pay, I am not
guessing. I have data. I have
experience. I've been in the trenches
helping people get these jobs. And the
pattern that I see over and over again
from people who pull this off is they
don't chase whatever is trending. They
chase the hours that nobody else wants.
The time zone gaps, the shortages, the
work that piles up overnight, the stuff
that other people don't want to do
because that's where you have the
leverage instead of the employer. Right?
There's a supply and demand imbalance.
There's a lot of demand for these types
of jobs, but there's not a lot of
supply. So, I'm going to be walking you
through all of them. What they pay, how
to get in, and how to do it fast. And I
have the receipts, right? Every number
is going to be from real sources with
real people telling you what they make
with the stats shown on the screen. Now,
by the way, quick obligatory disclaimer.
The salary figures I mentioned come from
sources like Glass Door. These are
average estimates, not guarantees. and
your actual salary can vary depending on
your experience, location, or the
company that you work for, as well as
many other factors. So, use these
numbers as a general guide, not a
promise of what you'll earn. And as
always, make sure you do your own
research. So, if you appreciate me
making content like this and you want me
to make more of it in the future, then
let me know by gently tapping that like
button and let's jump into it right now.
Okay, the first one we're going to talk
about is going to be remote patient
monitoring. Now, patient monitoring
means tracking patients vitals, watching
for changes in someone's health, or
setting up the medical tech that does
it. And the entry- level titles are
patient safety monitors, some places
call them sitters, and remote patient
monitoring medical assistants, and
technical consultants for the equipment
companies. Now, you might be thinking,
Shane, this sounds too good to be true.
There's no way you can work remotely as
a health care professional. Well, I knew
you'd say that, and that's why I want to
show you this video. Robin is a remote
patient monitor, and she sat down on her
own YouTube channel and walked through
exactly what the job is. Remote patient
monitoring can be done from basically at
least with the company that I work for.
You can basically work from anywhere in
the United States.
>> Or you might be thinking, "Oh, they're
not hiring right now." Well, jubila.org
posted a patient monitoring job and it
says remote work. And they're not the
only one. So, think of this job almost
like being an air traffic controller for
somebody's health. You're not flying the
plane. In fact, you never touch the
plane. What you do is you sit in a dark
room and you watch a screen full of
blips and your entire job is to catch
that one blip that goes wrong before
anybody else does. And the blips don't
stop at 5:00 p.m. Now, the entry-le
positions here make about $39 to $53,000
a year according to Glass Door. And this
is a really good way to get your foot in
the door in the medical industry. And
there are higherp paying jobs down the
line. So, it's pretty simple here,
right? Somebody has to watch the screen
while the world sleeps. and hospitals
will pay a premium to the person willing
to be able to do it. So, here's how to
start. Search remote patient monitoring
and patient safety monitor on Zip
Recruiter and Jubel.org and then filter
to remote. Most entry positions will
only require a high school diploma and
maybe a pulse. No degree required, of
course. And if you want to understand
the industry before you apply, so you
sound like you know what you're talking
about in the interview, watch a
step-by-step walkthrough of how these
programs actually get built. All right,
next one is going to be an email
marketer. And there's actually so many
different types of email marketers out
there. But basically what you're going
to do is you're going to plan, write,
and run a business's email campaigns.
And you're basically the person who
decides what lands in the inbox when and
what it says. Now, it's been very well
documented that email is one of the
highest ROI things that you can do as a
business. So for every $1 you spend on
email, you typically get $40 in return.
There's a channel called Modern Millie,
and she's basically an email marketing
specialist, and she put out a video
saying that she made $5,000 in just
eight days from her email list.
>> Then how come I made $5,000 in 8 days
from having an email list,
>> but maybe that's just her promoting her
own video. Well, there's another woman
from San Diego named Terry Cone who says
her emails have earned over $6 million
and she makes six figures a year doing
it. And there's another video right here
from Peak Frameworks saying that cold
emailing is the best skill to get a job.
And you can also get a job cold emailing
people. So, it's the best skill to get a
job just being able to cold email people
and ask for the job. But you can also
get paid to cold email as well. And cold
emailing is basically when you don't
have the person's contact information
and you just message them out of the
blue. I think that the most important
skill if you don't have a job is cold
emailing.
>> And there's really highpaying jobs here.
So, email marketing managers, for
instance, make about 80 to $133,000 a
year. But honestly, there's a ton of
different types of jobs out there that
all revolve around email marketing. Now,
another thing I'll say about email
marketing is a lot of the time emails
are going to be sent out at weird times.
Sometimes, for instance, you'll have
people who are customers in other
countries, maybe Europe for instance,
where your emails are going to have to
get sent out in the middle of the night
in the United States. And to be honest
with you, a lot of the times things go
wrong with emails. And so, they're going
to need somebody who stays up in the
middle of the night to make sure that
those things get sent correctly.
Additionally, sometimes even if it's for
the United States, a lot of the time
these platforms will drip emails out
very slowly because they don't want to
send all the emails all at once. This is
all very complicated stuff. There's a
lot of technology. There's a lot of
regulations. There's a lot of data
science behind it, but they've basically
figured this out. But the point is, a
lot of the time these emails will get
sent at weird times and in many cases
they're going to need somebody who
actually can monitor it. And honestly,
there's a lot when it comes to emails. I
of course have hundreds of thousands of
email followers, but I could still
probably be utilizing my email list
better cuz there is a lot to learn here.
And that is why they hire specialists
who just do this one thing for a living.
So here's how to start. Learn one
platform, right? So Clavio is the best
for e-commerce just as an example. And
there is a lot of money in e-commerce.
That's basically selling physical
products. ConvertKit or Beehive is
pretty good for creators. Active
Campaign is another really big one that
a lot of them use. And they're all free
to start. then you might want to learn
cold email because that might be a
really good way to get clients or to get
your first job in the first place. And I
do think that cold email is a good way
to get started in this particular case,
especially if you're doing it without
any previous experience. So, you're
basically demonstrating how good you are
by cold emailing people and that's going
to help you get the job. Now, when it
comes to marketing stuff, I'll be honest
with you guys, a lot of the time you
just want to learn the skill and then
demonstrate your skills. Nobody in the
marketing world really cares about your
college degree or any stuff like that.
All they care about is your skills and
how good you are. So, you got to learn
the skill and then demonstrate it. And
one really good way to do that is to
just simply do it for free for one of
your friends or family members and then
document the results of you doing it for
free and use that in your portfolio and
then send that out when you're trying to
get a job. All right. Next is going to
be an expert network consultant. So,
expert networks like GG connect hedge
funds, private equity firms, and
consultancies with people who actually
work in an industry and are experts in
that industry. So, you get on a call for
an hour and you answer questions about
the job that you already do. And there
are over 1.2 million subject matter
experts out there that pull $70,000 a
year just connecting their clients to
consultants like you. Now, picture a
translator at a summit. You don't make
the policy. You don't sign anything. You
just happen to be the only person in the
room who speaks the language and
everyone else needs to understand what's
being said. And that's what your day job
knowledge in many cases can be worth to
a fund manager who's never set foot in
your industry. And GLG has an entire
channel dedicated to this. Now, you
might be thinking, "Nobody's going to
pay a full-time income for a phone
call." Well, there's actually a video
breaking down the GLG review and how
highp paying these 1-hour projects
actually are.
>> And I'm excited to share our review of
Gerson Lurman Group, or GLG as I'll
refer to them in this video.
>> And Alli Gong actually made a whole
video on the pros and cons of working
with Alpha Sites, which is another
company that hires expert network
consultants.
>> I'm going to be going over all the pros
and cons I experienced while working at
Alphasite.
>> And how much do expert consultants make?
Well, they make about 96 to $177,000 a
year if they do it full-time. So, if
you're someone who spent a lot of time
in an industry, you can get paid pretty
good money just to answer questions
about it. So, the rule here is is that
they're hiring you for what you already
know, right? You're not learning a
skill. You're renting out the one that
you got paid to learn on someone else's
clock. And here's how to start. Go to
GLG, Alpha Insights, Guidepoint, and the
Third Bridge, and sign up as an expert.
Put your real industry and years of
experience on LinkedIn because that is
where recruiters actually find you. And
global clients mean the calls landed
your evening, which is the entire point.
Now, if you're really good at something
in particular, but you don't want to
work for a company or for somebody else,
there's actually another version of
this. What you can do is you can make
videos about the thing that you already
know, the thing that you're already good
at. Now, that could be your job, your
hobby, or something that you've just
figured out that took way too long to
figure out. For instance, I have
countless different examples of people
on the channel that literally made a
full-time income, sometimes not just a
living, but a killing, just educating
other people about their career. Whether
it's telling them which certifications
to get or which degrees to get to get
into their career or how to pass
different standardized tests or
different certification tests or just
educating them about what the career is
like in the first place and if they
should go into it or helping them do the
job itself or helping them land the job
or helping them upskill when they're
already in a job or helping people who
already have a job land a better paying
job, etc., etc. For instance, Josh Mator
went from making less than $1,000 a
month all the way to making over
$186,000 a month on his channel. And it
doesn't have to be boring jobrelated
stuff. For instance, Nathan Rose worked
most of his career in corporate and then
he semi-retired and he basically wanted
to make a YouTube channel doing
something that he loved doing, which is
playing chess. He's a chess coach who
specifically helps ambitious adults
improve their chess rating. And he's a
2000 rated player teaching people how to
do the thing that he already did. And in
roughly three and a half months, Nathan
went from completely flat, making
absolutely no money from YouTube to over
5,000 subscribers and making a full-time
income on YouTube. Now, if you want to
know more about exactly how we helped
these people do this, make full-time
incomes from YouTube, I'm actually doing
a live training this week where I talk
about how I helped them do it and also
how I did it myself, right? I went from
zero in a job that I hated to making
over $10 million on YouTube. And if you
want to know exactly how to do that,
click that link in the description in
the pin comment below to attend my live
training this week. Quick break. I'm
going to be doing a live training this
week on how to start YouTube step by
step for beginners. This is going to be
for people who want to start a channel,
but they don't know what niche to pick,
what videos to make, or how to actually
get started the right way. And it's a
completely free training. No strings
attached. In fact, I'm giving away even
more bonuses at this training. Just as
an example, I'm going to be giving away
my niche validator, which works for
ChatBT as well as Claude Skills, which
is a super valuable piece of software
where you can finally figure out what
the best niche for you is. So, do not
miss out on this training. Make sure you
sign up for it down in the description
and the pin comment below because you
only get it if you join the training.
So, if you don't join now, you might
miss out on it forever. But that being
said, in the workshop, you'll get to
meet me and you'll get to ask me
questions directly. So, I look forward
to seeing you. So, click the link in the
description and the pin comment below
this week. Make sure you put on your
calendar. And if for whatever reason you
missed out on it or you weren't able to
attend, make sure you still click that
link because we might be having
workshops in the future as well and
you'll be the first to know about it.
So, yeah, hope to see you there. Now,
back to our regularly scheduled
programming. All right, next is going to
be a bug bounty hunter. So, this is
where you hunt for security holes in
company's websites and apps through
platforms like Hacker One or Bug Crowd.
And you get paid per valid bug that you
find. There's no employer, no interview,
no resume. It's a pure meritocracy.
You're only paid on your findings. Now,
you might be thinking, "That's hacking.
I need a computer science degree." Well,
Santiago Lopez is a self-taught hacker
from Argentina, and he earned his first
$50 bounty at 16 years old. And then
Hacker 1 put out a press release
announcing that he became the first
person to pass over $1 million in bounty
rewards off of 1,600 plus reported
flaws. And he did this between the ages
of 16 and 19 years old, which is pretty
nuts.
>> Santi's the first hacker to make a
million dollars on the world's biggest
bug bounty platform, Hacker One.
>> But you might be thinking, "Okay, but
he's a prodigy. He's not a normal
person." Okay, well, another hunter
writing under the name Forcon wrote up
how he passed six figures in his first
year. and he opens by saying that he was
just some random guy on the internet
messing around with code. So, this
basically works kind of like a locksmith
who gets hired to break into your house.
The company hands you the address and
says, "Try every door, every window, and
every latch that we might have forgotten
about. And if you get in, we pay you. If
you don't, we sleep better." So, nobody
asks the locksmith where he went to
school. They ask if the door opened.
Now, I'll be straight with you because
I'm not trying to sell you a fantasy.
Hacker 1's own data shows that of the
researchers who submit at least one
report, roughly 40% never earn a single
bounty. Now, what you can do instead is
do what this channel did. It's a channel
called Cyberflow. And all this person
does is he just records himself doing
bug bounty hunting. And he is making a
ton of money doing that. And he also has
a course that he's selling so that
people can learn how to do bug bounty
hunting themselves. With that being
said, a bug bounty hunter makes about
$85 to $132,000 a year. Now, there's a
bunch of ways to get started with this.
Honestly, Port Swigger Webb Security
Academy as well as the OASP top 10 are
both free and they are the standard path
to get in. Then you can go watch the
channel Cyberflow like I talked about
before. He has a full guide on learning
bug bounty hunting and a video on
finding your first bounty. And he filmed
his own first attempt going badly, which
is the honest version that nobody shows
you. So yeah, I like that channel. It
seems pretty good and that could be a
good place to get started. My first bug
bounty experience was an absolute
disaster. Okay, section five is AI data
annotation. So, this is where you train
AI models by rating chatbot responses,
fact-checking them, and in the
high-paying tier, reviewing code, and
solving STEM problems so that the model
can learn from you. And Move Works made
a video explaining what an AI data
annotation job really is.
>> Behind every advanced AI is a team of
human experts. Now, you might be
thinking, "This is one of those scam
apps that pays 40 cents a survey, and
Time investigated it, and data
annotations pays about $40 for coding
tasks, and Outlier pays about $60 an
hour for chemistry tasks versus about
$20 an hour for basic labeling." But you
might be thinking, "But fine. Nobody's
showing me the actual money, though."
Okay, fair enough. There's a guy who
goes by Worm who sat down, worked an 8
hour shift on data annotation, and
filmed the entire thing so that you can
watch exactly what he earned. In this
video, I'll be covering how it was and
how much I earn. Now, here's the part
that's absolutely insane. According to
Glass Door, AI data annotators make 92
to $130,000
a year. Absolutely insane. So, yeah,
this is a super hot career right now and
you can make really good money with
this. So, the way to get started here,
data annotation.te, outlier, and aligner
are all really good places. They're all
free to apply to, all have a screening
test, and you can be working within
days. Now, if you do have any coding or
STEM background at all, definitely say
so loudly. That is the only thing that
unlocks the top tier. And there's a
couple named Mike and Heather that walk
through their exact getting started
tips. All right. Next is going to be a
no code web designer. And this is where
you build websites for businesses using
drag and drop platforms. So, we're
talking Show it, Squarespace, Web Flow,
Framer, Wix, etc. No coding necessary.
You are a designer, not a programmer.
Now, if you want to do the technical
side, you could use something like
Lovable or even go highle for certain
types of businesses. Now, you're
probably thinking, "But you need a
computer science degree for this,
right?" Absolutely not. Becca Luna
dropped out of high school at 16 and in
her own words, she went from a waitress
making about $11 an hour to a sevenf
figureure creative designer in less than
5 years with no coding skills and no
design degree. Okay, but she's the
exception, right? Well, she interviewed
one of her own students, Shereice, who
made $11,000 in a single month from web
design while still working a 9 to5. So,
definitely not. She is not the
exception.
>> But I hit 11.5, which was like,
>> "Okay, Shane, how do I learn web design
without coding experience?" Well,
there's a 3-hour course on YouTube from
Flux Academy on learning how to do web
design for beginners, and it's pretty
good. It's a great place to get started.
>> In this course, you'll learn everything
you need to create beautiful, fully
functional websites from start to
finish. So, it's relatively easy to
start making money doing this. And it's
relatively easy to learn the skills and
get better at it. And building a site
used to mean you're basically pouring
concrete right. You had to know the
chemistry. You had to get the mix right.
And you had to build the entire building
from the ground floor. And if you got it
wrong, the whole thing cracked. Now,
it's like a Lego site. The pieces are
already made. And your job is knowing
which ones go where and what it should
look like when it's done. So, the
business is paying you cannot tell the
difference. They just want the building
done. So, here's how to start. Pick one
platform and go deep. Show it for
creatives, Web Flow or Framer for tech,
Squarespace for local businesses, and
then build three fake sites for
imaginary businesses in one niche. Or
you can just build these for your family
members or your friends who already have
businesses. And that is going to be your
portfolio, and nobody will ever ask if
the clients were real. Then go learn how
to actually sell them because that is
the part that pays. And this brings me
to the next section, which is YouTube
related careers. And there's a lot of
them out there, but I'm going to focus
on a YouTube thumbnail designer. So,
this is where you design the clickable
cover images for YouTube videos, also
known as a thumbnail. And you can do it
per thumbnail or on a monthly retainer
for creators who upload constantly. And
David Alitzer still pulls in over
$100,000 a year creating thumbnails. And
he charges 500 plus per thumbnail for
creators including Curtis Connor and Max
Foch. And there is a psychology behind
every single one. So, what works for a
gaming channel will get you buried on an
education channel. And even if you do
get a lot of views with certain types of
channels, that doesn't necessarily
you're going to get people that actually
buy your stuff because at the end of the
day, you want to get people who actually
buy stuff, not just people who view your
videos. So, this is a thumbnail that
Nurse Jen used to get 717,000 views in
one month. Very simple. This is one of
my community members, of course. Here's
another community member, R.J., and this
is the thumbnail that he used to get 1.4
million views. And then here's the
thumbnail that my brother Zach used on
his very first video that got over
800,000 views. And within 29 days, Zach
got monetized and made $214 in a single
day. And that's a $78,000 year run rate.
And to end his first year on YouTube, he
made $18,000 in a single month. So your
thumbnail is the first thing that people
see before the title, before the hook,
and before anything. And it's really the
window display on a street where 500
other stores are screaming at the same
person. And you've got about a quarter
second. If the window doesn't stop them,
nothing inside of the store matters. So
it doesn't really matter how good your
video is. And by the way, if you want to
learn exactly how we help my brother
Zach grow and exactly how to get started
on YouTube, either doing it for other
people or just doing it for your own
channel, then go ahead and attend the
live training that we're doing this week
by clicking that link in the description
and the pin comment below. And by the
way, we'll also be giving away the niche
validator AI, which is a secret tool
that we spent thousands of hours on that
helps you pick the right niche or dial
in your existing niche to make it even
better. And it's really one of the
biggest secrets to growing and making
money on YouTube. So check that out by
clicking the link in the description in
the pin comment below. And I also know
that 99% of you are going to watch this,
take the free stuff, and run with it.
And some of you are going to attend the
live trainings and get a lot of value
from that. And honestly, that's great.
That's what this is for. And if you come
to the live training this week, we'll go
even deeper on exactly how to grow and
make money on YouTube. But there's going
to be 1% of you out there, maybe 0.1% of
you out there who want a handholding
one-on-one mentorship experience to get
results as fast as possible and have the
highest chances of success so that you
don't have to spend a bunch of time
figuring it out on your own. or you
might want us to actually just literally
do the work for you. So, if that sounds
like you, go ahead and click the link in
the description in the pen comment below
to book a call with us. On this call,
we'll figure out where you are right
now, where you want to be. We'll make a
plan to get there and we'll see if we're
a good fit to work together or not.
Right now, we're only accepting about
five people for one-on- ones, and we
only accept about 18% of people who
apply overall. And typically, we only
work with people who are very serious
about growing and making money on
YouTube. So, these are people like
professionals who have a lot of
experience and they want to share their
expertise with the world. Business
owners who want to get more leads, get
more sales, and grow their brand with
YouTube. YouTubers who are getting a lot
of views but struggling with
monetization. YouTubers who are crushing
it, but they want to crush it even
harder. And people who are really big on
other social media platforms, but they
want to come over to YouTube because
they know that YouTube is where the real
money's at. So, if that sounds like you,
go ahead and click that link in the
description in the pin comment below to
book a call. Should be the second link
down there. And we look forward to
talking with you. And also check out
this video right here where we talk
about exactly how we helped my brother
Zach go from zero to a full-time income
in less than one month and how we blew
up his channel with one video.
