In this presentation we will record the purchase and sale of inventory in accordance with a periodic inventory system rather than a perpetual inventory system. We're going to have our data over here that we will be recording. We will be posting it here to the general journal. We're not going to be posting it to a general ledger but instead a nice little worksheet here the worksheet helping us when there's only a few transactions to see exactly what will happen very quickly. So we'll post this quickly here. We'll have the beginning trial balance, our adjustments and then we'll see what is happening as we go. We are having a trial balance of just the assets up top. It's going to be more of a shortened trial balance using just those accounts that we need but being able to see this balancing process being able to see something starting in balance and finishing in balance after each transaction. We'll have the green accounts being the asset accounts, the orange accounts the liability, the light to blue, the equity accounts and then the dark blue is going to be the income accounts of revenue and expense. We'll be representing the debits and credits over here with both a debit and credit column and also making the credits a bracketed number which will be negative numbers for Excel. We'll explain why to do this as we go. Over here we're going to have just one column representing debits and credits, debits being positive or non-bracketed numbers, credits being negative or bracketed numbers. If we then add those two up the debits minus the credits will equal zero. So our balancing process will be represented by these green zeros here showing that the debits minus the credits will equal zero. This 100,000 is our net income at this point. We have revenue or sales 100,000 no expenses. That's what we're starting off with. So let's go ahead and post these. We're going to record these and post these transactions. First one on one will be purchase merchandise on account. So whenever it says on account that means we're going to not be paying cash for it. Some books might say on credit on account often use to try to not confuse debits and credits with basically an on account terminology. So we're going to purchase merchandise. So first I would ask is cash affected? We're going to say no because we purchased it on account and that means we paid it with typically accounts payable but then I would usually think of what did we get because it might be easier to know what the debit and credit is. What we got is merchandise inventory. It has a debit balance. We need to make it go up. So we're going to do the same thing to it, which in this case will be another debit. So I'm going to copy merchandise inventory. I'm in cell H7. I'm just going to right click on H7 and copy and then we're going to put that up top. We could type it in here but copying and pasting a little faster. We'll right click and paste 123 here. The amount's going to be for that 15,000. We're going to credit 15,000 as well. Now I'm going to do that. I'm going to put a negative number here. We could just type in negative 15,000. We're going to need a negative in order to use the formulas. So you could type that in there once you select enter. It will put the brackets around it. You don't need to type in the brackets. We just need to type in this amount here and it'll format once we select enter. We can also use a little formula. So I just deleted that. We could use a little formula and it's going to equal this cell obviously but I want to flip the sign. So instead of sitting equals I'm going to say negative of that cell and that'll flip the sign. So here we have the other 15. Now we just need to know what account will be for that credit of the 15 and of course it is accounts payable. Now we already know that we're going to credit it. That's the beauty of thinking about what we received first because it might be easier to know that this goes up. If we think about it, does it make sense that we credit accounts payable? Accounts payable has a credit balance. The bad thing is going up. We owe more money. Therefore we're going to do the same thing to it to make it go up which is a credit. So it's good practice at least at the start to double check that just mentally all the time. Then we're going to right click accounts payable. We're going to copy it. I'm going to paste that here in D6. Right click and paste 123. Then we're going to indent the cell. So I'm going to go up to the home tab. I'm going to go to the alignment and increase the indenting. You don't have to do to do this but the formatting could help a little bit. If the formatting is blocking for some reason, you can't do that. Just double click this item and hit the space bar three times and that'll get you there as well. Now we're going to post this out. So here's the first transaction merchandise inventory. Here it is here. We're going to post it to this middle column so that we can see what we started with, what will happen, what we end with. So in J7 we're going to say this equals we're going to point to that 15,000 bringing this 10,000 up in the debit direction to 25,000. Next, we're going to post out this accounts payable. So it's accounts payable. Here it is the accounts payable on our trial balance. We're going to be here in the middle column. So we are in cell J8. So we're in J8. We're going to say equals. We're going to point to that 15. This is a credit. That's a credit. They're the same thing. So this is going to go up in the credit direction from 6,500 to 21,500. Next item we're going to have is going and now note we're going to stay in balance here too. You can just double check green zeros here, green zeros here and no effect on net income. Both of these accounts are balance sheet accounts. We haven't done anything to the income statement accounts revenue or expenses, even though we purchased inventory. We will do that when we make the sale posting it to cost of goods sold. So now we're going to go to the next component, which is going to be on one three. So I'm going to skip a line. We're going to type in one three on cell C8. And this one is a sale 2800. So we're going to make a sale. So we're going to assume the sales are on account here. So we're not going to get cash. We're going to say it's on account. So we have the sale on account. We have the therefore what we got is accounts receivable. So accounts receivable is an IOU that we're going to receive. We're going to say it has a debit balance. We got more of it. People owe us more money. Therefore it's going to go up. We're going to do the same thing to it, which is another debit. So we're going to copy the accounts receivable. We're going to put here in D8, right click, paste 123. The amount then is going to be 2800. We're going to credit something for 2800 as well. So I'm going to do that with the same type of formula. I'm going to put a negative instead of an equals point to that 2800. It'll take that cell, flip the sign to the credit of 2800. Then the credit account that we're going to post this to is going to be sales. That's our income account. We're making sales. We're earning revenue. We're going to credit that. We already know that we're going to credit it because we debited the accounts receivable. But if we double check it, then we can say this is a credit. We need to make it go up because sales always goes up and we do so by doing the same thing, which is another credit. So it does make sense that we accredited it. I'm going to copy the sales, right click and copy. We're going to put that in D9, right click and paste 123. Then we're going to indent this going to the home tab, alignment, increase the indenting, and there's our journal entry. Now note that because we're on a periodic system, we're not going to worry about the cost. This 40% markup, not something we're going to worry about right now. We are going to just record the sale side. Remember, this is going to happen typically if we don't have a very sophisticated system. We don't want to have to worry about the cost. The sticker price shows us what the sales price is, doesn't show us what the cost is, and therefore it might be a system that would be easier for us to just record the sales and then count the inventory at the end in order to record the cost of goods sold, the reduction of the inventory, and the related cost of that inventory being used. So we're going to post this out. Here's the accounts receivable. We're going to go up top to J6. So we're in J6. There's 6,000 already in it. We're going to increase it by this debit. So within J6, we're going to say this equals and point to that 2,800. The 6,000 plus the 2,800 gives us the 8,800. Next, we'll record the sales side. So here's the sales here. Here it is on our chart of accounts. It's in order as its liability equity than the income expense account starting with the revenue of sales. We'll be over here in J10 where we will say equals and point to this credit. This is a credit. That's a credit. Those are the same thing.  So there we have that. So net income is going up now. Now note, this is a little deceiving at this point with the periodic system because it went up by 2,800, but we didn't record the cost. So this isn't the true net income until we get to the end of the time period, count the inventory, record the cost of goods sold. Next, we're going to go to 15 where it says we purchased merchandise on account once again. So we're going to purchase more merchandise. And therefore, I would say we got it on account. Is cash affected? No, it's not affected. What's the other count? What did we get then? We got merchandise inventory. Merchandise inventory has a debit balance. We're going to make it go up by doing the same thing to it, which is another debit. So we'll copy merchandise inventory. We're going to put that up top in D11, right click and paste 123. And that amount is going to be for the 7,000. We're going to credit something for 7,000. So once again, we could just type in a negative 7,000. I'm going to put a negative and point to that sale. So we're going to pick up that sale, reverse the sign. So there we have it. And then we just need to know what that account will be. It's not cash because we didn't pay cash. It's going to be instead increase the liability of accounts payable. Now we already know it's going to be a credit because we debited what we got. We debited the merchandise inventory. But if we double check it, we know that the payable has a credit balance. We know the bad thing is going up because we owe more money. And therefore we're going to do the same thing to it, which is another credit. So we're going to copy the accounts payable, right click and copy. We will put that in D12, right click and paste 123. We're going to indent now, go into the home tab, alignment, increase the indenting. And there we have that. Remember, you could just double click on it and hit the space bar three times and that'll work as well. We're going to post this out. So here's the merchandise inventory. Here it is up top. We're going to post it to our middle column and J7. But hey, there's something in there already. What do we do? We're going to double click on it, go to the end of it. So we're going to go to the end of it and just say plus. So now we're saying it has E5, which is this cell. Plus, we're going to say this cell E11. So E5 plus E11. It's going to bring this 25,000 up by 7,200, 32,000. Then we have the accounts payable, 7,000 credit. We're going to post it to the accounts payable here. Again, something's in our cell in J8. If we double click on it, we see that it's that 15. We want to go to the end of it and say plus. So whatever's in F6, which is that 15 plus this 7,000 in this transaction, this is a credit. That's a credit. It's going to make it go up from 21,500 by 7,200, 28,500. Next transaction, it's going to be on 18. It's going to say we paid for merchandise purchased on 11. So we purchased it up here and now we are paying for it. So when we did this up here, we debited the merchandise inventory and credit accounts payable. Now we're paying that off. So first question, is cash affected? We're going to say, yeah, we're going to pay it with cash. So cash is going to be going down. Cash has a debit balance. We're going to do the opposite thing to it, which is a credit. So I'm going to copy cash, going to right click and copy. We're going to put that on the bottom. So I'm going to put that on the bottom. I'm going to think about cash first, even though it's the credit, I'm not going to think about what's on top first. I'm not going to go in order of when we create the journal entry or what goes on top. I'm going to do whatever is easiest and typically thinking of cash is easiest. So we're going to right click and put that on the bottom. And the amount then is going to be for that 15,000. That's what we owe. That's what we will pay. Negative 15,000. Now we'll talk about discounts and terms in another presentation, but here we're just going to go in and record these transactions to show the flow of the process for a periodic system. We're going to debit something then. What will that debit be? 15,000. We could type it in there. Once again, I'm going to do a negative of this number. Now it's going to flip the sign again. This is a negative number. And if we flip it by taking the negative of it, it will flip it back to a positive number. Then we just need to know what this account will be. And we're paying cash not to get the inventory. We already got the inventory. We're paying it to pay off the payable. So this payable is what's being decreased. Note that it has a credit balance. Therefore, we're going to do the opposite thing to it, which is a debit. So we're going to double check that we got this debit correct. It is a debit. Does make sense that we're going to be debiting the accounts payable to do the opposite thing to it as it's normal credit balance in order to make it to go down. So we're going to copy the accounts payable, right clicking and copy. We're going to put that in D 14, right click and paste 123. We're going to indent the cash here. So we're going to click on the cash. We're going to go to the home tab alignment, increase the indentation. And there we have it. So now we're going to record this. Here's the accounts payable here. Here it is up top. We are going to record that in J eight. So within J eight, there's something there. So if we double click on it, we can see what is there. These two accounts payable accounts f six plus f 12. We're going to go to the end of it now and say plus and then point to this debit balance this time of the 15. So everything with the accounts payable is there. We want the 15 enter that brings the balance back down, puts us out of balance by 15. Other sides going to be going to cash. So here's the cash account in J five. We are just going to say equals, we're going to point to this credit of 15,000. That's a debit. That's a credit. Those are opposites going to make this go down, put us back in balance down here. So there we have it. Next transaction is going to be on one 10. So we're going to say 110. We're going to say we made a sale for 42,000. So another sale is happening here. So if we scroll back up top, we're going to say we made the sale on account. That's going to be the assumption we make. We make it on account. So we didn't get cash. We got instead and I owe you. We got the accounts receivable counts people has a debit balance. We need to make it go up. People owe us more money. Therefore we're going to do the same thing to it another debit. So we're going to copy the accounts payable right clicking and copying scrolling down. We're going to put that in B 17 right click and paste 123. The amount then will be 4,200. So we're going to credit something for 4,200 as well. We can put a negative of 4,200 or put a negative and point to this cell, taking that cell and flipping the sign. Then we're going to say what should that account be? What will the credit account be? We earned revenue. We made a sale. We earned revenue. Here is our revenue account, our sales account. It has a credit balance. We're going to do the same thing to it to make it go up. Note we already knew we're going to credit it because we debited accounts receivable, but it's good to double check it. We're going to say, all right, sales has a credit balance. It only goes up in the credit direction. Therefore we do the same thing to it another credit. So we're going to copy that right clicking and copying the sales scroll down, put that in D 18 right click and paste 123. Then we'll go up top to the home tab alignment increase the indenting. We could do that by double clicking and selecting the spacebar as well. Here's our accounts receivable. It has a debit balance. We're going to go ahead and record that now. So if we scroll back up, we're getting a little bit further down, but we could still see our transactions up top. We're going to scroll up. We're going to put that here in J six. So there's something there. So we're going to double click on that, go to the end of it, say plus and then point to this 7,000. I scroll down just a little and point to this. So this 4,200 the accounts receivable. If I scroll up just a little, it's going to say increase this account. This is debit. That's debit increasing the 8,800 by 4,200 to 13,000. That puts us out of balance here. We're then going to record the other side, the sales side to the sales account in cell J 10. So within cell J 10, we will double click, go to the end of it, say plus and point to that 4,200. This is a credit. That's a credit. Same thing going to make this account go up in the credit direction. So there we have this transaction that increased, of course, the net income. And these are the two that we're kind of focusing on here at this. This one here is the recording of a sale. And this one here obviously is also a recording of the sale. And what we didn't do on either of those is record the decrease in merchandise and the cost of goods sold, which we will do in a periodic system at the end after a physical count. Then we're going to say the next one is going to be on 1,2. It says receive customer payment for sale made on 1,3. So we've received a payment now. So here's the sale that we made up here. We got paid. So that means cash is affected. Cash is going up because we got more money. Cash has a debit balance. We're going to make it to go up by doing the same thing to it, which is another debit. So I'm going to copy the cash, right click and copy, scroll back down. We're going to put that on top in D 20, right click and paste 1,2,3. The amount is going to be that 2,800. So we're just going to type in 2,800. We'll then credit that same amount. So I'm going to say negative of that number. I'm just going to take that number and flip the sign, the 2,800. What then will we credit? Well, we're not going to credit sales because we already made the sale. What we're going to do is credit the accounts receivable. So here's the account showing that we are owed this money that we earned in the past. We are now getting paid. Note that we already know that we're going to credit it because we debit cash. But we also want to double check it. This is a debit balance account. If we get paid, it should go down because it means people don't owe us that money anymore. Therefore, we're going to do the opposite thing to it. In this case, a credit. So we're going to copy this accounts receivable, right click and copy. Scroll down and put that on D 21, right click and paste 1,2,3. Then we'll go to the home tab, alignment, increase the indenting and there we have it. Now we're going to post this out. So here's the cash and we're going to have to scroll up just a little bit. You can also make the screen smaller if you would like to not scroll around as much. But either way is good. I'm going to keep it large so we can see everything here. So I'm going to scroll up top. We're going to go to the cash here. We're going to go to this account of J5. There's something in it. So we'll double click on it, go to the end of it, and then say plus. And then I'm going to scroll down just a bit and point to that 2,800, the cash. So the cash is going into the cash account, debiting it, increasing the balance from 105,000 to 107,800, putting us out of balance here. If we scroll back down, here's the accounts receivable, the other side. If we go to accounts receivable, here it is here. We're going to post it to J6, the middle column, double clicking on it, going to the end of it, same plus. I'm going to scroll back down just a bit and I'm going to point to that 2,800. So here's, this is a debit balance account. We're crediting it, making it go down. So here we are back in balance with that transaction. So that's going to be it through one. So then we have the last thing and we're going to skip to the end and say, okay, now we are going to do our adjustment at the end of the time period for a periodic system. And so what we have done is we've recorded these two sales, but we haven't recorded the related merchandise going down and we haven't recorded the cost of goods sold. We're going to do a cost of goods sold calculation, a very important calculation in order to figure out what this cost of goods sold should be, as well as what the merchandise inventory should be. You're going to need this both in a perpetual system and a periodic system. So it's really important calculation to get used to. So we're going to calculate cost of goods sold. And that's going to start, it's always going to be the same. You want to memorize the formula. We're going to start with beginning inventory. So we'll have beginning inventory. Now I'm going to say that we're going to start looking at units versus unit cost, unit and unit cost, I should say not versus and the total. But I'm going to introduce this idea now and we'll get more into it in a later course when we talk about the different methods, LIFO, FIFO and average cost. But for now, we'll just keep in mind that there is a difference, of course, with what we report on the financial statements, dollars and the physical count, which is going to be in units. And we're going to have to do that conversion similar to like a exchange type of conversion, any kind of unit of major conversion similarity. So we're going to say then the beginning total, I'm going to start with the totals here. It started with 10,000 in merchandise inventory. That's what we had at the beginning of the time period. So we're going to scroll back down here. And we're going to say that we started with 10,000. And then we're going to add to it what we purchased. So we had purchases. Now the purchases if we scroll back up here are going to be this item. Make that a different color we purchased here. And we purchased here here. And note the dollar amount is what it is. That's what we're going to pay for it. So it's not like an estimate at this point in time the purchases are what they are. So we purchased $15,000 worth and $7,000 worth. So if we go back over here, I could say this equals this 15,000 plus that 7,000. So 15,000 plus 7,000, or the 22, you could just type that in there, or you can use that formula. And that gives us if we if we add those two up, that's the goods available for sale. That's what we had that we could sell. So if I sum this up, I'm going to use the sum function, obviously, I'm just going to add these two up 10 plus the 22 is the 32. We're going to use the most important function, the sum function equals sum double clicking the sum function highlighting those two amounts. And if we say enter, we get the 32,000. So if we think about that, that means that that's what we could have sold from a dollar standpoint of inventory. That's what we had at any given point. Now note that during the month, we don't know what we had at any point within the month on the system. But we do know that throughout the entire month, we had in our possession at some points along the way 32,000 dollars worth of inventory that we could have sold. So if we sold all the inventory that we had physically there and measured in dollars, then we could have sold 32,000. Now what we're going to do is we're going to see well what was left at the end of the time period. And if we subtract what was left from what we had that we could have sold, then we'll get the cost of what we did so assuming there's no other things happening like theft or whatnot. So we're going to say now the ending inventory is here. Now this is where we're going to introduce units. We're going to say if we count the inventory, obviously, we're going to have to count units. So we're going to say ending inventory. And units is this 10 units. Now we'll talk about the conversion more later. But now we're just going to say the conversions all easy straight conversion all 10 units cost 2700. So they all cost the same. And therefore, if we multiply that out using a formula, we're going to say equals and say this number. Actually, I got that backwards. It should be 2700 units. And we have $10 per unit. So this is the number of units we're left with. And this is going to be the cost per unit. Now if we multiply that out, we're going to say that in cell K 22 equals, I'm going to use the equals to do this.  It's going to be the 2007 just going to point to that times this $10 per unit. That gives us the 27000. So that's the 27000. Now this is what we had available. That's what we have left. So if we subtract those two, the 32 minus the 27 going to do that with a formula equals this 32000 minus going to point to this 27000. So K 21 minus K 22 equals 5000. So this is how many how many dollars worth we have left. That's going to be our cost of goods sold. So that this is in dollars here. Now we could do the same thing. Notice we if we look in units, and we kind of work backwards, we would say, well, if they all cost $10, if this is universal, we can say, well, if they're all $10 here, then we know that if we had $10,000 worth and there's $10 per unit equals 10,000 divided by 10 will give us the 1000. There must have been starting then 1000 units, which cost $10. And then we purchase 22,000 equals 22,000 divided by 10. How many units did we purchase? We purchased 2200. Now I could take the 32 divided by 10, or we can add these two up as we did here. So we could say equals the sum of this and this. And that'll say 3200, 3200 times 10 is 32,000. We had available. And then we could say this divided by 10, or we could subtract these two out as we did here to get the unit amount equals the 3200 minus the 2700. So it's important to note that you can do this cost a good total calculation in terms of units and in terms of total dollars amount and not to get those two things mixed up. It's beginning inventory plus purchases gives us what's available minus ending inventory. We can do that from a unit counting standpoint. How many units do we have? And then we can do that from a total standpoint. If all the units are the same, then then it all works out nicely. If the costs are different from for some reason, as we'll take a look at different methods later, it gets a little bit more complex. So this is going to be our cost of goods sold. That's going to be our final journal entry that we're going to record the cost of goods sold and the reduction in inventory. Once we're done, we should have this and cost of goods sold and our ending inventory should be that. So that's what we'll do. And we'll say that cost of goods sold is here. It's an expensive, it might be easier to think about the inventory. Inventory needs to be going down because we sold inventory. Inventory has a debit balance. So we're going to do the opposite thing to it, a credit. So I'm going to copy the merchandise inventory, right click and copy. And we're going to put that on the bottom because it's going to be a credit. So I'm in D24, right click and paste 123. The amount is going to be for 5000. I'm going to put a negative 5000. And then we're going to debit something for 5000. Now you can get to that 5000 a few different ways. You can say, well, it's 5000 here. Or you can say, I need to make that 27,000. So if we take our calculator, obviously, we have the 32,000. That's basically what's available for sale. Mine is what we needed to be 27,000. And that's our 5000. So we're going to reduce it by that 5000. The other side is going to be going to cost of goods sold. Here's cost of goods sold. We're going to copy that, right click and copy. We're going to paste that here in cell D23, right click and paste 123. And again, I'm going to put negative of that number taking that number and flipping the sign. Then we'll indent this cell, go into the home tab alignment, increase the indenting. And there we have this. Now we're going to post this out. So here's cost of goods sold scrolling up. Here's cost of goods sold. We are in cell J13. So we'll say equals. We're going to point to this 5000 bringing this balance up and it's going to bring net income down. So there we have that next side inventory, scrolling up to inventory. Here's inventory. We're going to be here in J7 double clicking on J7, going to the end of it plus scroll down. And we're going to pick up that 5000 to credit.  Once we hit enter, it should bring this to 27, put us back in balance here. So here we have this time out to what we have on our worksheet. Now we've got the 27,000 here. We've got the 5000 here. So we are now adjusted this. Now this amount of net income should be proper at this point, meaning we increased it during this time period of the seven. And we decreased it by the five. We started with the 1100,000 just basically to show that the sales is going to have a credit balance and carry that forward. So we got this increase in by the seven. This is really what happened. It increased by the seven, it decreased by the five, the net change to income. You can see it started at 100 is an increase in 2000, which is the net change, which is the sales minus the cost of goods sold.


Good morning and welcome to the United States Institute of Peace. We are very, very honored to have with us today His Holiness the 17th Guanyang Karmapa and the head of the Karmakagu School of Tibetan Buddhism. I also want to welcome and to acknowledge some of the many who have accompanied His Holiness, especially Zongzhen Panlap Rinpoche, with whom we've worked to organize this event and who's been a wonderful partner, very enthusiastic and wonderful to work with. This is an especially auspicious occasion for me as many years ago. I had the great honor of studying with Chokinima Rinpoche and in Kathmandu, who is a part of the same school. And so this is just wonderful to have your Holiness here with us today at the USIP. As many of you know, His Holiness has a truly dramatic story based on your escape from Tibet in 1999, where when you traveled and having lived in Nepal and I know the difficulty of that passage and over those mountains. And so it is truly wonderful that you were able to do that and now reside in Dharmsala next to His Holiness, the Dalai Lama. We have had an important tradition here at USIP of trying to contribute to the ways in which faith leaders can be a part of the peace building process. We have with us David Smock, who was for many years the architect of that program. And I'm very pleased to have here Susan Hayward, who runs that program now. And this is an important part of how we understand conflict needs to be understood. And the voices of faith leaders and of religious leaders like His Holiness are in a special influential and important way for us to think about these critical issues of how to build peace, of how to use compassion and wisdom, especially as a foundation for understanding our way through the kind of conflicts that continue to rip our world apart. So His Holiness will make a few remarks and then we'll have an opportunity for people to ask some questions. And with that, thank you so much for joining us here today. Well, first of all, I want to thank everyone who's here, who's made it possible for me to have this opportunity to visit you at the USIP. And I'm very happy to be here. Nowadays, our world is so filled with conflict that everyone is thinking seriously about how we can find a solution and discover a way to become at peace. This has actually become an emergency and an ever-present danger for many people throughout the world. I think that one thing that would help in this regard is if religious leaders and political leaders were to meet together to share their skills and their thinking and help one another find a solution to this. I rejoice in the existence of the USIP, because this is after all a branch of the United States government, specifically formed for the purpose of and wholly devoted to the cause of peace. I think its existence is also a proof of the recognition by this government that peace is of great importance. Of course, the idea of peace and the understanding of the necessity of peace are not enough. To achieve peace will require a complete commitment, complete devotion. And even beyond that, it will require that we first achieve peace within our own hearts. We also need to be able to extend ourselves. We need to extend ourselves to others and to other societies. We need more love, more compassion, more kindness, and much deeper sense of our interconnectedness. Whether it be between different religions, between different nations, between different peoples, we need to come to a greater awareness of our interdependence and our interconnectedness. I don't have too much else to say, except again, I would want you to know how really delighted I am to be here and to have received an extremely warm welcome from your president and members of your board and all of you. Thank you. Thank you very much, your holiness, for your remarks. It's truly an honor to have you here. I am Susan Hayward, the interim director of the Religion and Peacebuilding Program here at the Institute. And we're going to open it up now for discussion. So if you have questions, please just indicate by raising your hand. And make sure that you push the speak button so that we can hear you and it gets recorded properly. And please identify yourself and your organization. But I'm going to take moderators prerogative here and ask the first question, if I could, to get us started. So your holiness, you have taken a, well, first of all, let me say that what you have to say about the interdependence of people around the world and the need for us to recognize, to have the wisdom to see that interconnectivity between people is so important to the cause of peace. At USIP, we recognize the ways in which multiple factors and drivers mutually feed one another and lead to the arising of violence and of suffering and in order to find effective and sustainable solutions to those problems, we have to see how these drivers feed one another and how we all have to play a role in helping to resolve them and transform them in peace. So understanding interdependence helps us understand the solutions to really addressing the factors that drive violent conflict. So I really appreciate that and connected with that. But I also wanted to ask you, you have spoken out recently in support of ordination for women within the Tibetan monastic order. And this is also something in the religion program that we've put a lot of attention on, the role of women within religious traditions and the role that they can play, particularly in supporting peace. And so I wonder if you could speak a little bit about how you see women's ordination within the Tibetan order as being an issue of peace. It's almost like we're in a community that has a lot of communication. And the many women in our country have a lot of passion for the indigenous women, people in other regions, people in other regions of the country. And so the need for them to get in touch with the indigenous women, to receive their support, It was very difficult. The next day we were going to organize a full-automation ceremony. We were going to organize a full-automation ceremony. The stage is very different from the first stage.  I was able to study for two years, and I was able to get to the university. I was able to attend the college. In India, I was able to get a full-ordination. I was able to go to the university. I was able to go to the university. There are thousand areas in our country, lots of resources, and we have to give it to communities to make the government better safe for their needs. We are not going to run for government and go back to our country and raise our provisions. But that's the only way to make the government better safe for them and stop doing work. We will stop working I'm just saying that I think that this is going to be a big deal for the industry. Now, I think that my career will be done by the government, not by the government, but by the state. I think that it will be a big deal for the government, not by the state, but by the state. Well, first of all, the establishment of a supportive community is a, can you hear me? I guess you can, no. The establishment of a supportive community is of great importance. During the Buddha's lifetime, many women who had experienced great challenges in their lives were able to gather together and form a supportive community, a sangha of ordained women, female monastics. But the issue of the re-establishment of full ordination for women in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition goes beyond simply the establishment of the full ordination itself. Because it is an important stepping stone in the restoration of women's rights in using the religious or spiritual tradition of Tibetan Buddhism to do that. For this reason, His Holiness the Dalai Lama has over the last 20 or even 30 years been discussing how we can actually restore the bhikshuni or the full monastic ordination for women in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. And His Holiness's work on this and devotion to this cause has inspired me and caused me over time to begin to really understand and appreciate the great importance of the re-establishment of this ordination. The reason we've been waiting so long to do it is we wanted to put enough research into the matter so that when it is done it will be done in an undisputably valid way so that all lineages of Tibetan Buddhism accept it. However, at this point, 20 or 30 years into the discussion, it's evident that it would still take a long time to get everyone on board. So I feel that if one lineage begins, then the others will follow. That is my hope. So therefore I will begin this. It's important, however, to understand that the purpose of this is to establish not only the right to full ordination but equal rights in all aspects of Tibetan religious culture, education, status and rank, fully equal to that of male monastics. Another reason why this is so important is that women innately have a little more wisdom and a little more kindness than men do. To put it bluntly, women are a lot wiser and a lot kinder than men and therefore giving them the authority to use their innate wisdom and kindness will do the Buddhist tradition a great deal of good. I'd like to open up the conversation. Is there anybody who has a question? Bill. Your Holiness, thank you very much. My question is a personal one and I actually have two if I could be greedy about this. I'd like to know about your personal, in your personal journey, your relationship with your teacher. If you could talk a little bit about that, what your teacher has meant to you. And I think if connected with that and connected with your last statement about the fact that women have so much to teach us, one of the things that I look at with some concern sometimes is that process of taking a young child from their mother at a very early point in life and just surrounded by these men who I'm sure can share many teachings and many empowerment but I think there's also challenges involved in that process and I wonder if you could reflect on that a little bit for us. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Well, when you become a monk or nun, especially if you become a monk, which can happen really in somewhat early childhood, you are separated from your parents. I was separated from my parents at the age of seven when I became the kamapa or was recognized as the kamapa. And after that I was surrounded by tutors and other old people. Of course, we all know that in general women are more affectionate than men. They are more skillful, I don't know how detail would fit in there. Women are more affectionate than men. Men in general have a hard time showing or displaying affection. Most of my tutors and most tutors in my tradition are pretty tough but gradually students come to an appreciation of how kind and their tutors are and what a tremendous contribution their tutors have made, their teachers have made to their lives. Although usually we come to this appreciation after we've grown up and we have the perspective to realize what we gained under their guidance and teaching. So in a sense our teachers become even more kind to us and even more influential in some ways than our parents. Another thing is that there are different ways of showing love and in general I would say that the way Tibetans show love is less expressly demonstrative than is true in the West. Westerners not all but typically tend to be more openly demonstrative. They demonstrate their love for others in their facial expressions, gestures and so forth. Tibetans do this too of course but it's far more common for Tibetans to demonstrate their love for you by scolding you and trying to help you in that way. So as I gradually came to understand this it wasn't really too hard for me. For the first year after being separated from my parents at the age of seven it was difficult but then I became used to it and I've not suffered too much from it. We know you remain and the cognizant that you remain separated from your family. They're still back in Tibet except for your sister who's with us here today. Other questions? Hi, my name is Ariana Barth. I work here at the US Institute of Peace and like everyone here I'm very grateful that you were able to join us. So there are probably 40, 45 people in this room and 40 or 45 opinions but I'm really curious what you think about why people choose violence to achieve what they want and what we can do about that. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you. He was the youngest in the five nations, the first in the top 5 nations in the world. The others were the third, the fourth and the sixth nations. They're sure that mm. In some ways, the man, in some ways, the man, In some ways, the man, and we're. I don't think and and and and I'm not sure what that means, but I think it's very important to move forward and to have our way back to our roots. I've sort of been thinking about a lot of things. I think it's a good thing that we have a lot of people in the country who come to see us. I think it's a good thing that we have a lot of people who come to see us. I don't think that we can find out about that today. I don't think that people are born terrorists. They become terrorists through the influence of environmental factors, education and training, peer pressure, and all sorts of social, other social influences. And I think that people are changed into terrorists by those conditions. Nowadays a principal factor in a violence, acts of violence and terrorism is ignorance. The people are misled, intentionally misled by leaders or teachers who don't tell them the truth, deceive them with distortions or one-sided explanations of complex situations, and by doing so repeatedly convince their followers who subsequently become fanatics willing to engage in acts of violence and terrorism. Also many terrorists are living in a state of desperation. Their hopes have been dashed and they conceive of the idea that the only way to get what they want or get what they want done is through violence. They conceive of the common misconception that violence is more powerful than peace. And so I think these are the major factors and especially ignorance and prejudgment, prejudice and the one-sided knowledge of a complex situation. From that I don't have much more to say about that. Hello, I'm Susan Lawrence with the Congressional Research Service. I wonder if you could just tell us a little bit more about your plans for the full ordination of women in your lineage. What's the timeline for this? Do you have a timeline and what steps have you taken already and what do you anticipate you will need to do to make that happen? Thank you. Thank you. I'm not sure. The timeline is this. The. That's another story. You don't do it. Long or. in the full ordination in the full ordination The organization is a organization. In India, the organization is a community of families. The community is represented by families forちら. We can feel left behind. We can do things that Well, this year, to give you the time, there is a definite timeline. I'm sorry. Who asked that? Where are you? I'd like to see that. Okay. There is a definite timeline for this. We're going to begin by creating a committee to oversee and record the all proceedings in this, because since the first time we do it, we'll establish a precedent that will be, to some, will it influence if not actually be binding for the future? We have to do it very carefully. Specifically in the year 2016, probably in March or April, we will begin. Now the full ordination for women has two steps. There's the post-novitiate but pre-full ordination, which is done first. And then those women who have received that and lived according to it for two years, then become eligible for the final full ordination. Then so we'll do the first step of this in 2016 and the second step therefore in 2018. Women will have to wait 10 years after which those women who received the full ordination in 2018 will become what are called elders and authorized to bestow that ordination on other women. Because what we want to establish is a community of Tibetan women fully ordained who can bestow the ordination that they themselves have received on other women. Up to now what has happened is some women have received the full ordination in the Chinese Buddhist tradition, but it has not yet been reestablished in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition. Now if you do the math, I'll be 40 by the time these women can bestow the ordination on other women, which is another reason why I feel we can't wait any longer. Otherwise I would wait until then I'd be 50 or 60 and so I want to get it done now. I noticed people started getting less shy and we had a number of hands go up. And so I'm going to collect a few questions now and then His Holiness can answer it. And we'll hopefully have time for one more round after that. So I saw Mateo, Audrey, James. We'll do those three now and then we'll come back for Jackie and Lausang and anyone else. Good morning, Your Holiness. The first time I saw you or met you actually was at your monastery in Tibet more than 15 years ago.  And I suppose that that brings into question the various circumstances that you see that needed to happen for a peaceful resolution between Tibet and China. Good morning, Your Holiness. In a speech that you did at Boston, you talked about cultivating compassion. And even amongst the Buddhist community and the world in general, you know, oftentimes we really struggle with how do we cultivate that in our lives. So what can you share that may be insightful that we can, how do we cultivate this compassion in our lives, in our personal lives, in our organizations, and how we interact with the world in general? Good morning. It's a pleasure to meet you and members of your community, sir. I'm just curious when you speak about the full equality of women within the hierarchy, how will that affect the search for reincarnation? Before I left Tibet, I left behind a letter in which I wrote, if it will help Tibetan people, I will soon return. So it was not my intention when I left and has never been my intention to never return to Tibet. It's not been my intention to leave my homeland permanently. It would be a problem for me to return certainly under the current circumstances, but I was born in Tibet and I feel great responsibility for supporting both Tibetan spiritual and secular culture and I've never been separated from them. It has been many years since His Holiness the Dalai Lama left Tibet and since, and in that time over the last several generations, he has been joined in exile by many Tibetans. All of us who live in exile want to return, but what prevents us from returning is the issue between China and Tibet. The Chinese government sees this as a political issue and an internal issue, but in fact it is a human issue because it concerns the plight or well-being of an entire nationality and entire people. And if the Chinese government can come to recognize that this is an issue that in various ways impacts and concerns all humanity, and if on that basis a dialogue happens between Dharamsala and Beijing, then that might be the beginning of our being able to return. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. The next question dealt with compassion. First of all, I would say that compassion is much more than sympathy or the mere understanding of other's suffering. Compassion is much more dedicated, much more involved, excuse me, much more active. So the differences are the degree of dedication, involvement, and action. In particular, compassion has no subject and object. There's no sense in true compassion, I, the feeler of compassion, and feeling compassion for you or them, the objects of my compassion. There's no distinction made, no difference felt. One sees oneself in true compassion as part of others. And one is able to put oneself in the position of others and feel their suffering. In this world, we are all interconnected. Each one of us depends upon, relies upon, and is connected to all others. This connection is so profound, so central to the very value of our lives that it is not, it goes far beyond from being a philosophical concept, it actually is the central factor in our whole way of life. So self and others are not as separate as we think they are. We are each part of others. It is by understanding this that we will become willing, or that we can become willing to undertake responsibility for others' well-being. And furthermore undertake that responsibility with enthusiasm and courage. I think that enthusiastic courage, that inspiration to undertake responsibility for others is the basis of true compassion. We need to break down the wall of selfishness that usually surrounds us. And we need to change in that way, because without doing so, true compassion will not arise within us. We need to change in that way, because without doing so, true compassion will not arise within us. We need to change in that way, because without doing so, true compassion will not arise within us. We need to change in that way, because without doing so, true compassion will not arise within us. We need to change in that way, because without doing so, true compassion will not arise within us. We need to change in that way, because without doing so, true compassion will not arise within us. We need to change in that way, because without doing so, true compassion will not arise within us. We need to change in that way, because without doing so, true compassion will not arise within us. We need to change in that way, because without doing so, true compassion will not arise within us. We need to change in that way, because without doing so, true compassion will not arise within us. We need to change in that way, because without doing so, true compassion will not arise within us. In the Tibetan Buddhist tradition will have an effect on the tulkus system, the reborn or reincarnated lama recognition system. There actually already are female tulkus or reincarnated lamas, but proportionally they are so few compared to the number of male tulkus that you could almost say there aren't any. There actually are some, but they're so few. But this is primarily, I think, for social reasons, and therefore as women are more empowered, given more respect, more authority, more empowerment, they will naturally have a much greater opportunity to become religious leaders, including the recognition of them as tulkus. There has never been a rule in Tibetan Buddhism that women could not be tulkus, but because the outlook of the society toward women in general was not especially positive, there have been very few. Nevertheless, as you indicated in your question, once women are afforded a full support for leadership roles, there will be more. Jackie Lo Song and the others, I'm sorry, but I'm cognizant of the time and of the DC traffic, and I want to make sure that we honor his holiness's schedule and the need for them to depart shortly. But Nancy, if you could take us away. I just want to thank you again, your holiness, for joining us today. We're deeply grateful for the words that you have brought to us, the opportunity for all of us to come together and really reflect, again, on the importance of compassion and of how we might, both as individuals and in our various organizations, contribute to bring greater peace to the world and ending violent conflict. Thank you especially for your leadership and real inspiration on bringing women into full ordination. This is the kind of inclusion that globally will have enormous impact. So thank you very much, and on behalf of all of us, we wish you peaceful and wonderful journeys for the rest of your time here in the United States. Thank you.


Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of Mantic Quick Tips. In this one this is a kind of an extension from one of our last videos where it's a couple of people said about being able to use hot water not just to fix bent miniatures but also repose miniatures. So in this one we are going to show you how to repose miniatures and change how they look so if you're doing a big unit of them you can make them look slightly different. But before we do that now that we've got our nice awesome sweet setup where you can see everything that's going on. I'm just going to show you how to fix the bent candlestick on this one. So we're just going to hold it in. This time I am using a pair of clippers just so that I don't get dangerously close to the hot water like last time. And with that as you can see this one is now super bendy. So what we want to do is we want to try and get as flat as we possibly can. And there we go now we have a straight candlestick. So it's nice and quick and easy. Just make sure you get the hot water hot enough but not boiling. Okay and now we're going to show you how to repose miniatures. Okay so all we're going to do is do the same as last time. And we're going to hold the piece that we want to bend into the hot water. You don't need to hold the whole model because otherwise it would just make the rest of the model bendy while we're trying to bend his shield on. So now this is slightly thicker than the candlestick that we just did. So you will have to hold it in longer because it won't heat through quite as quickly. See how bendy that is. There you go as you can see all we're going to do bend the arm inwards. Now if you start to see white marks on here put it back into the hot water and start letting it heat through because if you're getting white marks that means you're bending the actual plastic itself rather than heating it and bending it. And they are stress marks and you don't want that because then it has a chance to snap. So as you can see by that we have now reposed his arm so you look similar to the one standing next to him. And what we can do is we can go one further as Rob has done on this one and actually bend the other arm as well. There we go slightly angled his axe carrying arm so he has a slightly different position on it so that he looks completely different to the rest of them. And now for something bigger. So this can be done on any of the hard plastic kits so the only thing this won't work with is the sprued plastic.  So this is what the regular one looks like standing next to the awesome Martin's reposed one. And as you can see he's slightly positioned the arms differently just to make him look slightly different so he's moved this arm up and these arms across slightly. So let's have a go at repositioning these ones. So as I said the thicker the material or the bigger the model gets does tend to take a little bit longer. I know Rob repositioned Aguilife and with that he had to leave it in hot water for about 10 minutes before it actually heated all the way through so he could bend the tentacles on it. So it all just depends how thick the model is as to how long you need to leave it in the water. And luckily you don't need to worry about things like the plastic melting because it's never going to get hot enough for that to happen. So I'm just bending that up slightly and there we go it looks different already. And this will also help when you want to try and rank the units up as well because if you get a part that's touching you can just put it in some hot water bend it slightly forward so they don't touch the model that's next to them. So you can get a nice big unit of these guys for Kings of War and they're all fit nicely in the unit and then you can make them look different as well. And that's it everyone thank you very much for watching as always pop your comments down in the comment section below let us know what you want us to do next and if you have any questions or anything like would do our best to answer it. Please like and subscribe because it helps and we'll see you again in the next one.

I found 11 great freelance jobs for beginners in 2024. And these are ways that you can either make a little bit of extra money on the side or start a full-time freelancing gig or in some cases even start a business out of this. And I can almost guarantee you haven't heard of most of these on the list. And if you appreciate me doing these types of videos, let me know by gently tapping that like button. By the way, before we go to these jobs, I just wanted to wish you a happy new year. 2023 has been a great year and we look forward to 2024 being even better. And I'm wishing you a year full of zest, joy and financial success as well as overall happiness. Now back to the video and let's get into it with number one on the list, which is going to be a beta reader. And this is basically somebody who reads and provides feedback on a manuscript or a book before it's published. And oftentimes you're going to be offering insights and suggestions to improve the work. And many different authors publishing houses and literary agencies hire for this position. And because of the nature of the position, because authors usually only put a book out maybe once a year or once every few years, oftentimes this is going to be a freelance type role. Now you might think you have to be a master writer, right? You'd have to have an English degree or you'd have to be someone who's been writing their entire life in order to do this position. But actually in many cases they're going to be hiring people who aren't masters at writing. Because the truth is most of the people who read their books are not going to be literary geniuses. And they want to get feedback from the types of people who are likely to read their books. However, if you are good at writing, this is going to be a good role for you as well. Now if you get hired for a job in this role, you're typically going to make around $20 per hour. However, if you do this as a freelancer, you can make much more than that. Some good websites to look into would be guru.com or upwork.com to get started. So yeah, this is a pretty good one. I'll go ahead and give it an 8 out of 10 opportunity score. Next is going to be a color season analyst. What? I'm just confused at all. And if you didn't know what this is, I don't blame you because I didn't know what this is either. I'm glad to hear that. And basically what you do in this position is you assess different color trends and you provide guidance on color selection for industries such as fashion, design and product development. And you might get hired by fashion companies, interior design firms, cosmetic brands and consumer product manufacturers. Now obviously in this position, you do have to have a good sense of fashion and you have to be someone who's into that type of thing. But color analysts, when they get hired in a job, make about $48 to $72,000 a year. And of course you can make much more than that as a freelancer. So overall, I'm going to go ahead and give this one a 7 out of 10 opportunity score. Next is going to be a very interesting thing and that is a style advisor. And there's many different types of style advisors, but the one I'm going to pick is going to be a hairstyle advisor. I love it. Hey, that's probably something that I could use, huh? Yeah, have you ever wondered what type of haircut would look best on you? Because apparently, depending on your face shape, certain types of haircuts look better than others.  But with that being said, there is a lot of people out there that will pay good money to get this kind of service. Now you can see quite a few gigs online related to this, but really the good money is when you actually work one-on-one with a person. One of my friends is actually a fashion advisor, and she basically advises men on how they can dress better. And she was making well over six figures a year.  So yeah, this is another really good one. I'll go ahead and give it a 7 out of 10 opportunity score. By the way, comment down below if you like any of these or if there's some other ones that you'd like me to cover. And there's a good chance that I will cover it more in a future video. Next is going to be a podcast show notes writer. And this is someone who creates written summaries and in some cases descriptions for podcasts. And this would include key highlights, topics discussed, and relevant links or resources. In various different types of companies, higher podcast show notes writers, including podcast production companies, marketing agencies, content creators, and individual podcasters who seek to enhance their content and engage their audience through informative episode summaries. Now, this also has another benefit of making it much easier for people to actually discover your podcast by typing in different keywords. So it's actually a great strategy to get more people to discover your podcast. Now, one secret that I'll tell you here is there's actually different types of AI related software that will kind of help you do this. And it's not absolutely perfect, but the AI software will do like 95% of the heavy lifting for you. And one of those tools is Descript. And you can see there are many people making money doing this as freelancers online. And on Upwork, they typically charge $25 to $50 an hour. So yeah, this is another pretty good one. I think it's a really untapped market as well. And if you get really good at using the AI software, that can speed up your production by like 10 times. So I'm gonna go ahead and give this one an eight out of 10 opportunity score. Next on the list is going to be game coaching. And this is for my gamers out there that are really good at a particular video game.  So if your KD on call of duty is like 2.5, then you could definitely look into this.  And he started off by streaming his gameplay and then he offered coaching to people and made $40,000 right away. And there's lots of different examples of what's known as e-sports coaches as well. And if you get employed doing this, you're typically going to make $15 to $18 an hour. However, you can make much more than that as a freelancer. There's also a lot of people online that are making a ton of money coaching in the game chess. And chess recently kind of had a resurgence and got extremely popular after the show, The Queen's Gambit dropped on Netflix.  If you follow chess, you know exactly what I'm talking about. That basically blew up on YouTube and now they're making millions and millions of dollars a year. And many of them are doing it through coaching or creating online programs. For instance, Gotham chess is estimated to be making between $5 and $10 million a year. And by the way, if you want to learn how to make money on YouTube, I actually do coach people on how to do YouTube myself. After figuring it out on my own and getting to the point where I was making six figures per month, I kept on getting request after request for coaching. And finally, I started accepting a few people here and there and I ended up getting a ton of people crazy good results. So some of my students are actually making more than me now. They're doing multiple six figures per month. And I do accept a small amount of people for YouTube coaching every month. So if you're interested in it and you're really serious about having success on YouTube, you can apply by clicking the link down in the description as well as the pinned comment below. So yeah, game coaching is really big. It's getting even bigger. I'm gonna give this one an 8.5 out of 10 opportunity score. Next is going to be SEO writing. So SEO stands for search engine optimization. And as an SEO writer, you'd likely be working for what's known as a blog. And a blog is basically a website that publishes lots of articles. And these articles are designed to rank on search. So when someone types something into Google, your goal is to be on the first page and even better at the top of the first page. And you accomplish that by SEO writing. Now, this is seriously one of the most valuable skills you can learn because not only can you get hired as an employee, but you can also do this as a freelancer or you can just start your own business. And freelance SEO writers make about 52 to $81,000 a year. And SEO writers on Upwork usually charge between $15 and $35 an hour. Now, the big secret to this one and the way that you're going to set yourself apart and make a lot more money is specializing. It's very important that you specialize in a particular niche. So for instance, you could become a finance SEO writer. And it's very easy for people who are actually experts in finance to see whether a writer actually knows what they're talking about. And the only way you're gonna know what you're talking about is by writing and that type of niche for a long period of time. So it's extremely important if you become an SEO writer to specialize in something. So there's lots of opportunities to get started on websites like Upwork, Freelancer, Guru, or Fiverr.com. And by the way, SEO is a type of digital marketing. And digital marketing is one of the easiest ways for you to get a job or start making money online. And I've interviewed many people on the channel that have been able to get jobs or start in freelancing with digital marketing. For instance, Ivy was able to get into digital marketing after being a server and she made $65,000 her first year and she didn't have a college degree or any previous experience. And they were all able to do it through my friend Seth. He is basically the world-renowned expert on getting into digital marketing and he has helped thousands of people get jobs. And Seth actually does offer a free masterclass where he's gonna go over the different types of digital marketing and which ones might be the best for you and your personality type. And you can check that out by clicking the link down in the description as well as the pinned comment below. So this is a really good one. I'm gonna go ahead and give it a nine out of 10 opportunity score. Next is going to be a web researcher.  And you're gonna be hunting down information in the vast wilderness of the internet. Think Sherlock Holmes but with wifi. Now you might not think this would be worth much. I mean, how hard is it to just Google, right? I mean, everyone can do that. So of course they're not gonna pay people a lot of money for this, right? No, not exactly. So freelance internet researchers make about $113,000 a year. And there's many different ways to get paid for doing freelance research. In many cases, it's going to be a lead generation type role. So you're gonna be searching for people who would make really good leads for a particular company. And then the company is gonna take those leads and try to sell them a product or service. And again, if you're really good at that, that is going to directly contribute to a company's bottom line. And therefore they are going to pay you extremely well. So again, you can get started doing this on websites like Upwork. And I really like this one. I'm gonna go ahead and give it an 8.5 out of 10 opportunity score. Next is going to be proofreading and editing. Now this is one that's really easy to get into and start making money right away but it is gonna have a lower ceiling when it comes to how much you can make and how much you make is going to vary greatly depending on your skill level and your niche. So in general, editors and proofreaders make about 51 to $80,000 a year and proofreaders on Upwork make about $18 to $35 an hour. There's also lots of different websites where you can apply for these different proofreading related jobs and gigs. ProofreadingServices.com is gonna be one of them. FlexJobs.com is another. And yeah, this one is relatively easy to get into and start making money, especially if you're good at English and it's even easier if you're bilingual. But it does have a lower ceiling. So I'm gonna go ahead and give this one a 7.5 out of 10 opportunity score. Next is going to be a voiceover actor. And you've probably noticed there's lots of different content out there that's basically just a voiceover where you never see the person's face. Whether you're watching Netflix with David Attenborough or you're watching random faceless channels on YouTube. And guess what? These channels have to hire voice actors for this. And voiceover artists make 57 to $105,000 a year. Now this one is a bit harder to break into. You kind of have to establish yourself and establish your brand in order to get steady, stable work. But there are websites like Voices.com, Upwork.com, and FlexJobs.com where there are a lot of opportunities. So this is one where you're probably not gonna make much money right off the bat. But once you get a few jobs, you start getting some good reviews and you get a few steady, stable clients. This one can really take off. However, you typically do have to have really good audio equipment and it takes a lot of technical knowledge to know how to set that up. So overall, I'm gonna give this one an 8.5 out of 10 opportunity score. Next is going to be a bookkeeper. And this is actually a surprisingly good side hustle. You're basically going to be helping out accountants and usually it's going to be during the tax season. So this is kind of a seasonal side hustle but there's actually a lot of opportunities here during certain times of the year. And basically there are many different things that bookkeepers can do to help accountants out and accountants kind of in many cases just kind of look over everything, make a few changes here and there and they're more in charge of the big picture strategic part of saving money on taxes. Whereas bookkeepers would be the ones who are crunching a lot of the numbers in many cases. And remote bookkeepers make 48 to $71,000 a year and during tax season, you can make even more than that. So a lot of the time what will happen is different accounting companies will actually just hire you for a contract during tax season. You'll make a bunch of money and then the next year they'll hire you again. But you can also advertise your services as a freelancer on websites like Upwork and a lot of normal companies will just hire you to balance their books and make sure everything is kept up so that tax season is less stressful. So overall, this one is surprisingly good. Like you can make a ton of money with this. You can also get hired for a full-time job with it. And there's even people who start their own bookkeeping companies. So I'm gonna go ahead and give this one a nine out of 10 opportunity score. Next is going to be a social media manager. So this is basically where you manage the social media of a company or a brand. And more and more companies are using social media in order to reach their ideal clients. And it's honestly one of the easiest and most cost-efficient ways of acquiring customers. But somebody needs to be there to manage it. And that's where you come in as the social media manager. Now for jobs, social media managers make about $64,000 a year. But if you specialize in a particular platform, for instance, being a social media manager for YouTube or Instagram, you can make much more than this as a freelancer. And there's lots of different opportunities on websites like Upwork, for instance. So yeah, this is another really good one. I really like this one actually. I think the creator economy is just blowing up. And it's very obvious when you see people like the billionaires on the All In podcast creating content, that content is the way to go. So I'm gonna give this one a 9.5 out of 10 opportunity score. And just as a reminder, I do help people to create content. Again, I'll put that link down in the description as well as the pinned comment below. You can apply for the coaching. And if you haven't seen it already, I did have a video on the seven remote jobs that are always hiring that went viral. And you can check that video out by clicking right here.
