Use Reddit. You don't need an existing audience for that. Make sure to follow the rules of the subreddit. Write a few tips/tutorial posts, help other learners, etc. Then you can try self promoting within the rules. And parallelly, you can build an audience on sites on Twitter. Read about marketing. Follow other creators. And so on. (Edit: You can self promote without existing audience with Show HN too, provided it fits the rules. Luck plays a huge role, but you won't get lucky if you don't try at all).
Regarding RoI, that depends on your needs. I left my job in 2014 due to various reasons. I tried and failed at many things for about 5 years. Then I tried selling ebooks and the second book clicked for me. Now I earn more than I need (with the caveat that I live alone in outskirts of a second tier city with an average monthly expense of just about $150).
- spookybones 4y agoHow do you keep your expenses so low? That includes rent, utilities, and groceries?
- BadCookie 4y agoGP indicated in another comment that they are in India. Anybody living on that amount of money in the US would have to be homeless and/or surviving off of government or charity assistance, I would think …
- runnerup 4y agoIt would be difficult but not impossible to eat properly on $150/mo in the USA. There would be no money left over for other categories of spending like shelter or transportation.
- asicsp 4y agoAs mentioned in another comment, I'm from India. $150 translates to about Rs 12000. That's indeed enough to cover rent (the place is more than fit for 2 people), food, maid service, etc. This wouldn't work in a bigger city (which was one of the reasons I left one) and I could further cut down expenses if I moved to a smaller town. Internet is via mobile, cheap and connection issues are rare (in fact, it has been better than broadband I had earlier).
