What s up BHW.

Just wanted to share a quick success I've had recently, hopefully it will inspire someone to take action.

TL;DR: haven't been doing side hustles for over 5 years, made money within 24h after launch. Fuck yeah

Last 5-6 years I have been focusing on building my marketing agency. Basically spend 50-60 hours a week on that. Income is great, and so is growth, but I was looking for more.

Recently felt the urge to do side hustles again because I just got a bit bored just doing one thing.

So I ended up writing an extensive beginner guide for e-commerce marketing. Launched the book on Thursday, sent out a single tweet thanking people who helped me write it, woke up to the first sale.

So that's $29. Doesn't look like a lot but after 5 years of no side hustles that were focused on making money, it's a fantastic start.

Ended up celebrating with a champagne breakfast on Sunday.

Sure, we're all here for the millions that we want to rake in while getting this IM thing to work. But your first million doesn't just start with a million. It's the first money you get in that helps you to grow.

Plan now is to go for a 25-50 sale/month strategy, which will allow me to grow this to 1.2k/month (profit, not revenue, as I plan to spend money on ads).

That's part of my 12 side projects in 12 months plan. If you want to follow that, here's the thread -> https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/r...-in-12-months-making-1-2k-month-each.1121076/

Go out there, BHW, go fucking launch whatever the fuck you want to launch. Make a product, build a site, sell yourself as a woman online, whatever you feel you need to do, just do it.

And celebrate your early wins. It's all uphill from here.

Why not investing the 29$ instead of wasting it on the champagne?

Used my personal money to buy champagne, will use the $29 to reinvest in the product.
 
As someone who admitly has not been successful you wrote a book online about how to be successful and someone paid money for it - you think that is success? Not to be a complete asshole but everyone is tired of people pushing stupid recycled garbage in an ebook for the price of what many people live on in a year. Not sure if this is allowed - but get fucked.

To be fair to op this is bhw and spam is a big part of it. If the guys made some money with it then whats the issue? That's like saying half the threads on market place are a piece of shit therefore should be closed down but this forum runs on income like that

Nah mate, I wrote a book on all the lessons I’ve learned in the e-commerce world working with dozens of clients in that space through my marketing agency, and how you can implement it yourself.

There’s enough Tai Lopez shit out there, I wanted to write a book that actually has solid and actionable advice that works in the real world.

Haters gonna hate though
 
Congrat Op, i'm learning to do E-com, glad to see people seeing new success on their journey. Best of luck

But who said he hasn't been successful?

That sounds successful for me. Moreover, when you look at OPs journey thread, you see that he must be pretty experienced in IM.
