Hey guys,
Probably the weirdest thread you'll see today, but bear with me.
I'm a student right now at the University of Georgia. I'm a freelance copywriter, and I am really good. (PS if you need copy....
) I'm working on starting my own copywriting agency, which would turn it into almost passive income and big income as it grows. I'm also coming along with some products. Also, I am a programmer and have knowledge in C#, Java, PHP (can learn anything really) and experience in scientific programming/models.
Why does this matter? I want to start my own stock brokerage. I'm working on trading algorithms (not HFT), and I've been self-studying. But of course, I need a S7 to provide advice, trade for others, etc and my S66 to start a brokerage but ofc I don't need a sponsor for that.
Now, as you may can tell, I'm very entrepreneurial. I don't want to work for 2 years full time out of college at a firm as "pond scum" before I get my S7.
My plan? Offer copywriting services to local(ish) brokers. After that, show my algorithms and trading knowledge (my sales knowledge will already be proven through copy) to get sponsored for a S7. Work part-time at the firm/from home/algorithmically during the rest of college. Continue to provide copywriting services for free to the branch.
Is this plan feasible?
Tl;dr - read last paragraph
