First of all Best Wishes to everyone!

Sorry for my bad English but English is not my native language.

I want to thank BHW for teaching me everything I learned here and was reading all the successful stories and I thought is will tell my not so successful story, really don’t know what I’m doing wrong here..

I started BHW on 2017 looking for tips and tricks to make some money online and then it began.. I wil keep it short what I did and how I in my opinion failed xD

Instagram CPA – FAILED – With OGAds, lading page and Bots result: 0.00

Selling Teespring Shirts on FB & IG & Rddit – FAILED - Had some good designs and original that I made on Fiverr ending result: Lost +- over 200 on FB Ads..

Clickbank Affiliate – FAILED- Tried different niches but nothing worked for me..

E-Whoring/Reuploading Videos – FAILED – Chaturbate made me 0.0 video’s didn’t get accepted did CPA trough Telegram/Whatsapp and made me a few bucks but it was so time consuming so it wasn’t worth it for me. (Doing a 8 till 5 job, having a GF and doing E-Whoring.. It was like living a secret life )

YouTube CPA – FAILED – With OGAds Had over 50+ self-recorded video’s on YouTube about Android hacked APK and in the description my landing page with a content locker for them to download the ‘’hacked’’ APK, was getting decent views but almost no conversions. Result: Lost a lot of time and made maybe $10 bucks over a time of 2 months.

Bitcoin Trading – FAILED- REKT no words needed for this story xD

Drop shipping Jewellery Store – FAILED – long story short, Blew away over 500+ on FB, IG Ads 0 items sold.

Drop Servicing Store – FAILED – I had a renaissance portrait store, where you can submit a picture of your pet and I’ll outsource it on fiverr that they photoshop the pet’s face on the portrait. Did FB ads with it and the engagement was on FIRE had over 1000 Page likes in one week, but no sales.. because nobody here in my country is using VISA or PayPal.

So I registered myself as a business to accept the payments that we use here. So I ran the FB ads again and no engagement anymore..?? tried it for 2 months had one sale 34,99 , but the fb ads were more than 150 and registering myself as a business also costed 50,- so a loss again.. and forgot to declare the TAX and ending up getting a fine of 70..

So at this point I really don’t know what to do next I’m really feeling depressed in failing everything I touch.. hope someone is having some advice for me or some motivational talk, really want to try and make it in 2020 because I’m expecting a wonderful daughter in June.
 
I just wanted to write the same thread, and I saw this.

I failed a lot too.

Instagram Accounts - this method worked, but it didn't last too long, I made 300$ in 3 months with Jarvee and 3 running accounts. I grew accounts to 10k followers than I sold them. But then Instagram updated algorithm and now it takes too long to grow them + a lot of them got banned at 5-10k followers so I give up...

Making Games - Friend and I started making games using c# and unity for fun. Then we find out that in our city there is one guy who is making big big big money with copies of popular games. We talked to him and got some advice. We publish our first game it was a copy of Moomoo.io on Google Play but far to now, we didn't make anything. We made one more game it is one of those clickers with no sense but still the same. (Yes we tried with better keywords, buying reviews....etc) EDIT I forgot to mention that we are working now on a new game, a little bit serious than previous its 2D war game. (ships, submarines, planes ...etc)

CPA - While my friend was fixing errors and bugs in our game I started doing CPA with Ogads. Funny thing is that I made 10$ using Jarvee 5 day trial and 3 accounts. Then I wanted to scale it soo I bought 40 accounts and Rotating Proxies. In 1 hour all my accounts got banned. Probably bad accounts I don't know.. (Follow settings was 4-10 users in 1 hour)

Then I realized that instead of buying accounts and proxies all the time I can pay the same price for the Instagram story shoutouts and target the same amounts of people, and guess what? I failed again. I find good accounts with 2-10k story views with most follows from tier 1 country. I made money but not enough to get my investment back. After some time thinking I realized that I target tier 1 countries with making money niche, so probably I made a mistake here... Or my landing page was bad...

I failed too with Dropshiping and Crypto. And after all those fails, I learned a lot. I was in a hurry, just wanted to see results. Instead of jumping from method to another method I should have to focus at one and to find reasons for fails then to fix them...

After all, it's important not to give up and figure out where we went wrong, And I apologize for the bad English.

Wish u all best in 2020 :)

I think the problem with all of these "I failed threads" not to pick on you OP.

No one puts any kind of time frame on how long they tried to do something and the expectations they had with it at the start.

Any business requires time, effort, money and some realistic expectations.

Drop Servicing Store – FAILED – I had a renaissance portrait store, where you can submit a picture of your pet and I’ll outsource it on fiverr that they photoshop the pet’s face on the portrait. Did FB ads with it and the engagement was on FIRE had over 1000 Page likes in one week, but no sales.. because nobody here in my country is using VISA or PayPal.

So you targeted a bunch of people who could not checkout or use VISA / Paypal? That was your mistake there not providing a valid payment solution to your audience.

Rather than failing it sounds like your learning lessons, costly ones at that by just jumping in and not making sure everything is in place first.
 
Same to me. Failed years then guess what? Sticked on one website from last spring and make some money nowadays, not much but i know its have potential. And started making mobile game (on ue4) after year of jumping on methods :)
I think better concentrate on your games if you love development and good luck.
 
@Dushii026 - With fear of sounding patronising, it is not about how many times you have "fallen down" but how many times you get back up and try again. Sorry to read you are getting depressed too but think about this forum and how many people here have been in the same boat as you - including myself!

You would have seen many different stories about how people have tried....and failed. Many don't return to the forum and some just hope for someone to spoon-feed them with some golden miracle that will turn their world around.....only to fail again.

But their are also stories of people that have succeeded. Those that have shown you that if you just keep trying.....keep focussing....then there is a real possibility that you can succeed.

So you have to ask yourself.........do you count the times you fall down and have a limit where you stop? Or do you count the times you fall and stand back up and try again?

The key is to focus. Not to focus on what you have failed on but what you are good at. Find something you actually like doing - not for a quick $ but something that you can really put your mind to. For instance - build a website with content on that you are interested in that you can then build into an affiliate site.

Your English reads really well btw!

Don't give in. New year - new starts - new goals - fresh thinking.

Zippy.
 
So at this point I really don’t know what to do next I’m really feeling depressed in failing everything I touch.. hope someone is having some advice for me or some motivational talk, really want to try and make it in 2020 because I’m expecting a wonderful daughter in June.

I would suggest jumping around less and focusing more on one type of traffic generation or platform. If a failure does not increase your knowledge on that platform or traffic channel, don't even start and re-design your approach in a way so you can gain knowledge also while failing. This helped me a lot in my early stages and even today forms my decision making when entering new markets :)
 
I have FAILED written all over my face so you are not alone....
 
Do not ever quit, never. You are gaining valuable experience and with perseverance you will make money. I had my ups and downs but I never quit and thats what keeps me going, get back on track and stay there, thats the hardest part.
 
Maybe we should just start a club, just kidding.

On a more serious note , don't consider it as failures, as long as you keep trying you have a chance. Something has to work eventually ,

If you Re visit some of those strategies you think you have failed on , and re strategies , you will succeed.

Try again those you have had a little success and try it differently.

Good luck to us all on all our endeavours this year
 
It seems to me that you don't give things enough time, if you just give up when things don't work out after two months. It sounds to me like the Youtube journey was your most successful, I would take that and work on it.

Good luck, I'm sure it will work for you soon :)
 
As others have said it is not how many times you fall over that matters. But what you do when you stand back up again.

Almost without exception every "I failed thread" I have ever read on BHW is because the OP does not understand how to do either or both of these 2 things:

1. Build a landing page that converts.
2. Drive targeted traffic to that page that converts at a profit.

There are people on here that are way more talented than me, but I know how to do those 2 things and that means I can make as much money as I want whenever I want online.

So before you start any project, figure out how you are going to do those 2 things and if you cannot figure it out in advance of doing it, you will fail. So don't waste your time and move onto something where you can do those 2 things.
 
Unfortunately failure is something that everyone here will eventually face. It is something that cannot be avoided (even with extensive learning). I promise you that we all had failures in our AM/IM Journey. The key is to not get stuck in your head because of the past, but to prepare and see what the future has in store for you.

I have failed countless times. I still fail today. I am currently doing Media Buying. I have made 6 Campaigns right now. Wanna now how many of those actually worked out? 1. - 1 Campaign has made me profit so far, the other ones were all terrible and i lost money. But guess what, that's okay. The good thing is that you learn what's working for you and what is not. IM ain't easy. You need to get through the horrible and utterly shit times in order to get to profits! We've all been there.

I guarantee you, that if you have the will and stick through it, even if it feels hopeless now, that you will succeed. Just stick through it.
