Choosing my path... but need some direction

[Crazycow]

Yeah, yeah… I know what you’re thinking — “here we go again, another guy who wants to make money and is asking a vague, broad question.”


But what can I do if this is exactly what’s been on my mind the most lately?


You know how it goes — you come to BHW, you start reading all these success stories. People who actually made it, or even overachieved their goals. Then you get interested in their niche…


And then you realize there are people making money in:

• crypto
• SEO
• online marketing
• dropshipping
• OFM
• streaming services
• account selling

…and MANY, MANY other directions.


And you start thinking: damn, what should I even choose?


You might say: “pick something you already know.”
The problem is — I know a bit of everything, but not deeply.


And let’s be honest — even a donkey understands that real success requires going all-in. Like, hitting a rock… and if that’s not enough, then the whole mountain. And only after that you can say “okay, I failed” and give up.


But man… I really wish there was someone who could just tell you:

• this is the direction you should go
• this is the checklist you follow

And even if it doesn’t lead to huge success, at least it would bring some decent passive income.


So yeah guys… maybe someone here can be that person —
and point me in the right direction, but in a way where I don’t completely break my legs along the way.

nobody can choose for you man thats the hard truth. but if i had to start over from zero with no money id learn seo and sell it as a service. low startup cost, high demand, and you learn skills that help in literally every other online business

Do SEO (specifically for AI engines - so AEO and GEO) or learn AI video creation in depth

Wow, it honestly feels like you pulled that straight out of my own thoughts. I’m stuck in that same loop—trying to figure out how to make it online. You see all these successful people, and while it’s clear there’s no easy way and no perfectly defined path, one thing stands out: no one is really going to hand you a step-by-step guide.

But I truly believe this—if you commit to it and stay consistent, you’ll eventually figure it out. It might take time, trial and error, and a lot of patience, but the clarity comes through action. so just motivated and keep digging into the rabbit hole. good luck !

I'd suggest blogging coupled with Pinterest on a niche that is woman friendly (most people on Pinterest are females). Once you get traction to your pins you can guide traffic to your website or blog and milk it either with adsense or affiliate marketing.

No one can choose for you, that's all. Startup costs are low, demand is high, and you'll learn useful skills in almost any online business model.

None of above.
Your goal should be building company that provide some services and can be sold for XX milions USD in next 5 years.

You wont make it selling accounts, doing seo services etc.

Think big, not small.
Also - most people here make beer money or no money.

1. You can make shitload of money on crypto niche but not by trading, by building next hyperliquid.
2. Have you heard about company that provide SEO services and is worth billion USD? I didnt.
3. Every 10 years old kid with chatgpt can be online marketing expert.
4. Dropshipping - you can make money here by selling dropshipping courses.
5. Profitable, but its not a way to build company worth 10m+
6. Streaming - no idea.
7. Accounts selling - not worth your time in long run. And I've sold over milon accs.

It's hard to choose. You'll need a mentor in life.
Like, they're working in that niche, and you follow, work in that niche, get asked questions, and receive answers
But! There's still no guarantee you won't break your leg along the way, tbh
My friend works in POD. He told me to try it
Another friend said they're doing great with Facebook ads, so I could try it
And I tried both at the same time and chose one, that's my case

• this is the direction you should go
• this is the checklist you follow

The direction is what YOU want. The checklist is what YOU can imagine that makes up the destination of the direction. Nobody can build your dream and checklist for you. Has to come from your Noodle McNoodley.

Sorted.

No more excuses!

Only you can come with a valid answer here..

It’s wonderful when you have friends like that I wouldn’t mind having some myself, but in reality we all understand that if a person isn’t close to you and doesn’t sincerely want you to succeed, it’s quite difficult to build even a basic connection with a mentor who is even slightly interested in anything beyond their own benefit and advancement.

Everyone goes through this.

There’s no perfect path. Everything works if you stick to it long enough.

Pick one thing, stay consistent for a few months, and don’t keep switching.

If you want a simple start, go with SEO or content sites. Low cost and good long-term potential.

Clarity comes after you start, not before.

That makes sense, you're basically saying it's better to build something scalable and sellable rather than just chasing short-term cash.

I'm curious though if you were starting from scratch today, what kind of business models would you personally focus on to reach that kind of exit?
