Mike Burton has loved hip hop since he was a kid, but he never knew how to make a living at it until after college. That was when he found out about the freelancing website, Fiverr, and became a rapper-for-hire. Mike makes up to $9,200 a month writing and recording rap songs for people's birthdays, anniversaries, business promotions, and podcasts. Since beginning in 2016, he's brought in nearly $500,000 in sales.

I love the fact that he refuses to use profanity, talk about violence, or any other low-frequency/detrimental content in his music. KEEP SHINING!!!!!!!!

Sir, your communications degree definitely paying off. You are using it it’s just for yourself and not for some company. Very good and very proud of you, sir.

@delle3955 Год назад

I need to show this to my middle school students! He’s certainly using his education and talent!

@@delle3955 yes you definitely should. These are the things we grow up as adults we get mad and we look back and say: “no one teaches us these things in school.” Or we start to question: “why did I not learn these things in school?”

@onlygirls7232 Год назад

"communications" is a worthless degree. universities created it to charge students more tuition. you dont need a degree to do what this guy is doing on fivver.

Wow. He is doing something he actually loves, is his own boss, making a great income at it, and has a family!! What a great example for his kids and all of us!!

his prices are so affordable. the fact that he knows he can charge more and keeps it reasonable is honorable. i would never think of this as a job, this is awesome!

@Nola1176 Год назад

Excellent story and yes, as someone who charges by the hour, I know the time he is putting in and the quality he is putting out, he is not being properly compensated for but I understand he wants to stay viable in the market. I'm wishing him a $200,000 year soon because that's the least his skillset is worth! Good luck.

@holdupnow2326 Год назад

For $200k he would have to be marketing to big brands, commercials, movies, etcetera.

About to watch this again- commenting first! This is a homerun story of dedication and purpose!! 2 dreamkillers for most conquered: getting fired (job), then quitting (Fiverr the 1st time)- this deserves a major salute. Follow your passions, people. Less excuses after this story.

This is seriously inspiring. I've been debating on doing actual journalism for wrestling news, but the doubt of will it work always sets in. Just like you, when I turned 30, I still didn't know what I wanted to do....and still don't, but after watching this, I think I do now. I've always gone back to writing because its like a very creative output for me. I don't have to struggle to get ready for the camera or feel shy.

Can you do a niche blog?

@will4rmstrong Год назад

@@free22 Do you mean like making AirPods, for example, the focus of writing a blog?

@free22 Год назад

@@will4rmstrong I meant that you could possibly create a niche blog that includes wrestling news, if that is what you are interested in. You can slowly create a following and showcase your work while also including SEO selected articles that are likely to rank on google. You can use an Authority Hacker course to set up a niche blog.

@fvr12345 Год назад

Such a cool story! You should definitely think about increasing your pricing (maybe 5x or more). You have such a unique skill set and operate professionally. There’s no reason to sell yourself short. You can have a better income, be less stressed, and have more time to spend with your family. Since your skill is so unique and you can’t really expand your business with employees, then you have to do it by charging more instead of taking more gigs. Glad to see you find your path! 👍
