Where?

Selling life insurance is akin to an MLM most of the time. If you’re doing it part time or as a side hustle, then it is an MLM 100% of the time and you are doing a legal form of robbing your clients directly.

I tried it back in college. The first customers are your friends and family lol. I stopped when they had me sit in the office and call my dad tryna sell insurance to him lol. If u can somehow avoid that and are good at sales I think u can make a lot of money.

OP has a point.Just make sure you sell it to folks who don”t look like they are going to stroke out in the next day or so, which is 5% of our population !!!

Owning an insurance agency as a side hustle could work but selling it? You either have to spend a lot of time networking or buy an established business.

Making money in all insurance is all about the auto renewal. But why on earth would you want to spend your free time doing this? And life insurance is the worst insurance sale. Every other type of insurance you benefit if the policy gets used. Life insurance someone else benefits. So people who want to provide for spouse and kids who make enough to buy it, but not so much they are self insured. Much smaller market than say auto insurance or renter's insurance. Not to mention getting licensed to sell in your state ( and yes they are state specific).

So in theory if you sell enough of anything you can make money. It strikes me as a terrible side gig.

It's good business if you are predatory. Remember, nobody gets out of life alive.

SC2 - you sell your insurance to the wrong people and your life expectancy shrinks considerably.

For those who were diagnosed as an adult can you provide some insight into how you were able to obtain a diagnosis. I went to my primary care dr who referred me to another dr who specialized in mental health. He asked me about 5 questions before telling me I should see a neuropsychologist for an official assessment. The referral he gave me is super pricey and apparently isn’t covered by insurance. Is that normal?

Hi fishes,
I'm 22 and planning to take a life insurance. I'm comparing all policies and max life seems attractive as it has good claim settlement ratio and less premiums. But there is no office near our area. My worry is that if there is a need to claim in future, it can be done all online by my nominee? Is it recommended to take policy online in any platform(like policybazaar)?
Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
Please guide
