Joel Young, a pastor in the United States, who, at the age of 29, was struggling to pay off a mountainous £50,000 debt, is now a millionaire thanks to a simple side hustle.
Joel has talked himself from £50,000 debt to over £1.5 million after becoming a voiceover artist after getting the idea when he hired one to do some work for a church project.
He found the voiceover artist on Fiverr.com who charged him $10 for the project, which is £9.26 as I write this – the pound is at a record low against the dollar.
Joel and his wife were struggling to pay off the £50,000 they owed on credit cards, loans and medical bills.
With two children to feed and care for too, Joel wondered if he could supplement his meagre pastor’s wages by doing voiceover work from home in his spare time.
He had a background in public speaking and believed that he could make an extra £40 or £50 a month per month, charging as little as $5 (£4.63 ATOW) via Fiverr.com to read scripts for commercials or narrating audio books.
He had a MacBook laptop and a decent microphone from when he used to sing in a band. He had everything that he needed to get started.
In his first month he made £370, and after 18 months he had paid off all of the £50,000 debts.
Joel said that he and his wife “were both blown away by what I had earned just in a couple hours a night, when I got home from my regular 9 to 5, just on the side.”
In the beginning it was quite a hard slog with him working until 1am and occasionally 2am fulfilling his Fiverr orders.
After two years working his side hustle he was earning as much as his day job and decided to take the leap into full-time voiceover and video work.
Now, the average client pays Joel $500 (£463 ATOW), and he creates over 50 videos a month.
Some of his clients include the US Navy, Home Depot, Comcast and several universities and colleges.
Joel believes that in the last five years he has earned over $1.5million which in real money comes to £1.38million.
Not bad for a guy who was struggle with £50,000 of debt!

Voiceover work is one of those freedom jobs which you can do anywhere in the world as long as you connect to the internet every now and then.
It has allowed Joel and his family to travel the USA in a motor home full time. He was able to work from the motor home while travelling the country.
Joel realised the potential to make money once he got passed the curse of knowledge which is where people who know or do something with ease, believe that everyone can do the same.
The curse of knowledge often prevents people from believing that they can make money selling that information or offering that service. They believe it to be too simple to charge for because anyone can do it.
Joel said: “I’ve heard other people talk about this thing called the curse of knowledge.
“That’s when you understand something, or when you know something and grasp it, you’re cursed in the sense that you believe everybody understands that.
“I did the same thing when I started. I was offering something that I thought was easy. I’m talking into a microphone — that’s stupid, who would pay for that?
“Because I’ve always been able to talk and I’ve always been good at it, I thought, ‘Well this is easy, I’m just talking.’ It’s that curse of ability.”
He added: “Now I’m adding different value at a different level. But the reality is, if I hadn’t started at the first step, I wouldn’t have gotten to the step I’m on today.
“Don’t think you have to get to the ideal level before you start.
“Because that’s how people end up sedentary, wasting their whole life doing something they hate, because they never started when they never tried.”
Could this be something that you could do to earn some much needed extra money?
With the world becoming increasingly digital and more and more businesses sharing content online, there is a huge demand for voiceover work.
Audio books, commercials, training videos, there is a whole range of content which requires voiceover work.
Contrary to belief, you don’t need a professional soundproofed studio to make money as a voiceover artist.
Joel started with his laptop and a microphone and worked in a quiet room after the children had gone to bed.
I imagine he had a decent microphone to start with as he used to be a singer in a band but I’m sure you can pick up a half decent microphone online for £20.
You can use the free recording software called Audacity. I know our techy guy, Andi, uses Audacity from time to time and it is pretty decent. A quiet room that doesn’t echo too much would suffice.
If that sounds like too much effort and you want a simpler way to make money online that requires an incredibly low upfront investment then you should take a look at what our friend Don Fletcher does.
He can turn £10 into £2,500 by simply buying digital collectables which he then resells on to collectors who are desperate to own what he has.
These collectables are brand new and only recently released to the market which means they can be incredibly cheap to buy.
A brand new unique digital collectable can cost as little as £10 but could give you thousands of pounds in profit… and sometimes in as little as 24 hours.
It can all start with a simple £10 purchase.
