Time has come for me to upgrade to Jr Vip. I think I should be allowed to do that, I have the posts and I'm an old member here.
I started trying to make money in 2013. I had nothing, I mean, I had less than 0. I was in such a sorry state, it's sad. Today, I'm not hungry anymore. I have $25k saved up. I've punted the last 5 years, I just worked all the time.
A picture speaks a 1000 words:
This has been my life's work for the past 5 years.
The $Amounts are all NET PROFIT! And this photo tells you I'm a real guy. No genius, no riches, just a ton of hard work put in, starting from nothing, creating a little something.
I wanted to do it without selling out (becoming a Youtube comedian or something).
I did it without mentors, or friends really.
I wanted to create something, not just piggyback off of a site (like Youtube or something). And I have done that, I think. I have 4 websites, I have customers on all of them. I have customers on skype, and email, and every day I sell things. It's a business, no one can shut me down. Even if my sites vanished, I always have all my customers emails to continue banking.
I did it without investing almost ANY money, except about $500 buck. That's about $200 for 6 years of hosting with Hostgator (I bought 3 years of Shared hosting on Black Friday a few years ago, I bought 3 years of Shared hosting when that expired on Black Friday again - total $200). And about $100 for 4 domain names for the past 2+ years. I also bought 20 Twitter accounts once for $5. I guess I spent about $100 bucks total in fixing up little things on my sites over time. Say I spent $500, not a penny more...... but the time I spent, invaluable......
Anyway, now I'm in a good place. Every day I make money, some days it's $5, some days it's $55, some days it's $155, but I'm making money. I'm not hungry, rent is paid, the fridge is full, I have clothes to put on, I have shoes to wear, I'm covered. Maybe some people would take these things I mentioned as granted, but they weren't always for me. And I'm no parasite, so if I don't have anything I don't go and leech off of anyone, so I don't run to mommy or anyone. If I can't afford it, I don't get it, and that's where it ends.
I've saved up $25,000 dollars. I want to buy an apartment. Any decent apartment in my country starts at $25,000 dollars. Like a starting price. Which means, if I bought a place, I would be BROKE again. Grant Cardone - Stay broke huh.
But I want an apartment. I also want to buy a car at some point. I'm 28 years old, I'm gonna want a wife at some point, children, you know. POINT IS, I need more money! And I'm working on it, every day!
Now, this forum has helped me a lot. Without BHW I may not have been here. I didn't make much money from here directly, but BHW has been an amazing place to learn, ask questions, get motivated, and especially in the beginning when I was of the mind that "Internet is all scams," when I discovered BHW and was reading the Journey threads and all the things people talk about on here, it gave me the confidence to believe that it's not all scams, it's not all fake, money can be made here on this internet.
So it's time for me to upgrade my account. Unless for some reason I'm not allowed. It will allow me to give back to the forum. But all that touchy-feely stuff aside... I want access to the private forum. I want a signature, I want to be Blue, adabadi dabada
Here we go
