biggest failure you ever had?

[prey24]

Hey,

Let's talk about our biggest failed projects.

Mine was a failed Shopify business where I lost 2k because of my payment processor but no regrets.

What's yours?

Hey, interesting thread idea.

I can't put an exact number on it but I discovered, by pure accident, a niche in its infancy from a suggestion on youtube. I looked more into it and it was a pretty new idea in the market and it was really easy to make content/products around it. I was a brainless teenager at the time so of course, I didn't have the motivation to pursue the niche and try to make something happen out of it.

Now years later the niche has developed, people make money from it, content creators around it get millions of views, and when I finally tried to get into it it was a bit too late.

Moral of the story guys, never hesitate to try.

2012. First Google Penguin update.

Wiped out every website from SERP I had my earnings from 150$ a day to 5-10.

Also had similar situation in 2016.

Had a site making $10k+ profit every month, it died due to PayPal banning my account + blacklisting my domain, got severely depressed for a while. After that, I built a new site and hit almost exactly the same amount again, and then a Google update came and cut it by 90% - But that time I couldn't do much more than laugh and say "Touché Google", and start 30 sites instead trying to at least triple what I made before

Don't put all your eggs in one basket is a lesson we all gotta learn.

Noted.

 

[Psh]

Noted.

Even if you're in one niche, start 2-3 sites targeting the same keywords (if you're into SEO) - That way if one sites get wrecked by updates you have some backups.

Hope there's no hard feelings since the Guru-thread, didn't mean to be a jackass. Go get the money man, I know you'll get them stackz.

I don't believe in, "it's too late" mentality, you can always outrank and do better even if you enter the market late. Google don't care who comes first or last, if you have better backlinks, you can rank better.

Touche Google is my new life slang.

Touche Google is my new life slang.

For every site of yours that get hit by a Google update - Start 3 new ones. That's my motto now.

Absolutely. I made $100/day with a $200 investment in ranking the site, that includes content, domain, hosting and backlinks.

Another site cost me $500 to start + rank, and made me about $2,000-2,500 a week - With the info from this thread.

A crucial detail is of course to do proper keyword research first.

I agree on the fact that it's not pinned, it really should be.

You make a really good point. You're right, it's not too late actually. It's just much harder to get out there now that my content needs to be better, look better, perform better, etc. I really should give it an honest try before I write it off completely.

I won't call it a failure but I chose an affiliate site (clicksure.com) for movie offers promotion through parasites in 2018

I earned around $1000 in first month and they didn't pay me.

for first month, on skype they just delayed the payment saying the vendor hasn't paid the amount
then one of the employee said vendor has paid but the payment is processing.

But that employee who told me that left the company then the other one said payment never came.

They changed the name of company now it is called ADSU.

I wasted my time asking about payment for 4 months, but no use.

Then I left hope, it has been 2 years.

But no regrets, after that I left the affiliate work and got into SEO for local projects and now i am good.

As a depressed individual I like and envy your spirit. Even if you failed you got a great success after all. This is inspirational

Relying on other people to do the work for me. Unfortunately the picture below is just one example of the many failed attempts i tried to work with someone. They either totally suck at what they do, they only care about the goddamn money they get from me, or the share they earn or they do not care at all.



All of the lines are earnings per video (each video represents a line) - the biggest hit (on the left side) are about 375$ on one day. So you can see, how much he cared about working with me

I was selling on Shopify and I was using 2checkout to accept payments and they reviewed my site once and then I started accepting payments with and suddenly after that one day, they said that your site has copyrighted products and the held all my payments for 6 months but till then I already ordered the products from my supplier on my credit card. When I got my money after 6 months my partner left me and also taken his share{half of the money}
