How to Make Something Someone Else’s Problem (and Get Paid for It)

Share the Curiosity

Ah, the ultimate dream: getting rid of your problems while simultaneously securing the bag. Some call it delegation. Some call it outsourcing. The truly enlightened call it business. If you’ve ever thought, “How can I make this someone else’s headache while also making money?”—congratulations, you have the instincts of a CEO.

Let’s break down the sacred art of monetizing your problems and handing them off like a hot potato.


Step One: Identify the Headache (Bonus Points If It’s Universal)

First, you need a problem so annoying that people would rather pay to make it disappear than deal with it themselves. Think taxes, house cleaning, or remembering anniversaries. If it’s universally hated, you’re in business.

Examples of Money-Making Headaches:

  • Nobody wants to do their taxes → TurboTax exists.
  • No one enjoys waiting in line → Skip-the-line services charge you to feel important.
  • People hate cooking → Food delivery apps make billions delivering lukewarm fries.

Now, find your headache and get ready to pass it on.


Step Two: Package the Pain as a Service

It’s not just a problem—it’s an opportunity (for someone else to suffer on your behalf). But you can’t just throw your issue at people; you have to make it look valuable. Wrap it up in fancy words and some buzzwords like “streamlined,” “automated,” or “AI-powered.”

Rebranding Nightmares as Services:

  • “I don’t want to drive people around.” → Uber: You’re a rideshare entrepreneur!
  • “I hate calling customer service.” → Virtual assistant businesses: Let someone else scream on hold!
  • “I hate social media, but I need followers.” → Social media managers: Pay me to pretend you’re relevant!

Step Three: Find Sucke—Uh, Business Partners

Now that you’ve dressed up the headache as a lucrative business opportunity, you need people willing to take it off your hands (while you take a cut). Enter freelancers, contractors, and overenthusiastic startup employees who still think “hustle culture” is a flex.

Pro tip: Throw in words like “be your own boss” or “limitless earning potential,” and people will trip over themselves to take on your nightmare.


Step Four: Automate, Delegate, Disappear

True success isn’t just handing off the problem—it’s making sure you never have to hear about it again. Automation is your best friend here. If you can make an app, a subscription service, or an AI bot handle the chaos, you’ve officially ascended.

Signs You’ve Mastered the Art:
✅ You’re making money while doing nothing.
✅ People thank you for solving a problem you never touched.
✅ You “check emails” from a beach while your system runs itself.


Final Step: Profit & Take Credit

Once your headache is someone else’s daily grind, sit back and watch the cash flow in. Just remember to act like you’re still super involved—throw in a LinkedIn post about disrupting industries and leveraging synergy.

At this point, you’ve mastered capitalism. The world’s problems are now your paycheck, and best of all, you don’t have to deal with any of them. Congratulations—you’ve made it.


Disclaimer (Because Lawsuits Exist)

This guide is 100% satire (unless you make it work, in which case, you’re welcome). No overworked freelancers, stressed-out employees, or enthusiastic side-hustlers were harmed in the making of this advice—probably. If your startup fails, your automation backfires, or your outsourced workforce revolts, don’t @ me. Good luck out there!

This article is written with maximum sarcasm and minimal shame. If you’re easily offended, a die-hard “hustle culture” advocate, or someone who believes in doing everything yourself—maybe take a deep breath before proceeding. No egos were spared in the making of this piece. The views expressed here are meant for entertainment (and maybe a little too much truth), not professional business advice. If you actually try to outsource your life without reading the fine print, don’t come crying to us when it backfires. Proceed with caution—and a sense of humor. 😎
