What Can Turkish Entrepreneurs and Students Settling in America Do?

Welcome to America

Welcome to America! While it may seem like a dreamland from the outside, rest assured that with the right mindset and approach, you can overcome any challenges you may encounter upon your arrival. One of the biggest hurdles to overcome will be earning money and finding a job. But with perseverance and a positive attitude, you can overcome these obstacles and thrive in your new home.

When coming to America, whether as a student or by other means to obtain a green card, it is crucial to keep in mind that securing a job in the USA is imperative. You should strive to find employment promptly, taking into account that your expenses will be in dollars and the Turkish lira is not valued highly against the dollar in this country. New York, in particular, can present challenges, so it is essential to prepare for any difficulties you may face.

In this article, I will discuss the initial steps you can take. However, in upcoming articles, I will provide more detailed information on what can be done as a student or with a green card.

To ensure a smooth transition, I recommend bringing enough funds to sustain yourself for a while. For instance, if you plan to reside in New York, I suggest budgeting a minimum of $2000 per month to cover food, drink, and lodging. Given an average period of 3 months, you would need about $6000. If you possess a green card, I strongly advise dedicating these 3 months to studying English. Fluency in English can greatly enhance your employment opportunities and facilitate your job search, especially if it involves manual labor.

Today I will give you an example of what can be done in America. It’s an e-commerce business.

How Can You Make Money in America?

Student or Green Card Doesn’t Matter, You Can Do E-Commerce

I confidently state that e-commerce is the ideal solution because of the widespread love for online shopping. As we all know, America is a hub of technology and innovation.

With the large size of the states and the distance it takes to drive to the market, even selling Doritos chips can provide enough income to make a living here. That’s just how lucrative the market can be.

Setting up an e-commerce website does not require being a company owner, as is the case in Turkey. With a personal PayPal account, it is possible to integrate the website and sell products online to generate income. Opting to import products from Turkey, such as carpets, rugs, towels, pouches, nuts, and more, can be a smart business move.

When you arrive in America, finding a job can be challenging, especially if you face language barriers. However, you can take control and become the boss of your own business by selling products online. This allows you the flexibility to work the hours that suit you and attend a language school to improve your English during the rest of your time.

I came to the USA Language School, Can I Sell Products Online?

Absolutely! If you’ve come to the USA for language school, opening a bank account is a breeze. Once you’ve opened a bank account, setting up a PayPal account is a cinch, and you’ll be well on your way to launching your e-commerce business.
