Ever since I was a kid I always felt like a loser. Almost 5 years ago I told myself enough is enough, I need to change my life. I decided to do IM and decided that I'll do what it takes to succeed. I burned my boats (dropped outta college) and I promised myself to never look back. I got into IM not knowing what I was getting myself into. IM turned out to be harder than I thought. I thought I was gonna make my first 1k within 3 months (as advertised by gurus) but I never made a penny, of course I got stressed but I kept reminding myself to never look back, I promised myself to fight until I win. As I said I thought I was gonna make my first 1k within 3 months but I finally got my first pay after 3 years and it wasn't 1k as I had expected, it was $20. Although it wasn't a lot, I was happy bcoz it proved to me that making money on the internet is doable.

Last year I started an ecommerce websites with 2 partners. The store successfully got sales but we never made a huge amount of profit. My second pay came from the ecommerce website and it was around $2600. My parents were thrilled and finally believed that I was doing a legitimate thing. I was not that happy bcoz as soon as we split profits the product died. We tried to test new products on the store but we only made profit during the first week of product testing then after that the ka-chings were replaced by crickets. We noticed the same trend repeating itself, we would test a product and make profit for a week or sometimes we'd make profit for a couple of days only then after that nothing.

The same thing kept happening until me and my partners split. We split this year around February. I tried starting my own store but I lost all my money bcoz of the pandemic and there are other bad things that led me to lose money.

Right now I feel lost and I feel stressed. I feel like I lost motivation to keep going and I feel like I don't have a direction anymore. I still do believe in my goal but at the same time I feel lost, I feel beaten and it feels like all odds are against me.

If you were ever in the same situation or if you have some advice, please do advice. I couldn't ask anyone else for advice bcoz no one can better understand my situation than you guys, besides I'm always lonely so there's no one to ask.

I also need advice on FB's inconsistencies. How did you guys manage to solve FB's inconsistencies? Do you guys think it's a good idea to switch to Google ads? Are Google ads as inconsistent as FB ads?
 
you've probably seen this a lot on bhw already
#1 law is never give up
many people have been at that point. me too when beginning my journey.
method after method. failure after failure. wheels are spinning but money isn't coming in.
what happens if you give up? back working 9-5 day job like every other loser
what happens if you keep getting up?
eventually you WILL find a winner method that sets up you up for big success.
just keep experimenting. keep trying. keep working on new things and learning.
eventually one of those methods guaranteed to make you a load of traffic and reach your goals.

G ads is its own bucket of worms. dedicate your time and you will conquer it

Thanks for the response. Did you ever feel unmotivated at some point during your journey? Or is it just me. Sometimes I feel like a stone, not able to wakeup or do anything

Thank you so much. You motivated me
 
As @uncutu rightly said, to never give up is the first rule!
Life's gonna gonna give you your fair share of ups and downs. And if you're lucky, an unfair share. But that's what will make you in the end.
I'm not gonna start my life's sob story and how I turned it, but believe me when I say this-
After 1.5 years of struggle, not knowing how I'd achieve stuff I have no technical knowledge of, I have successfully arrived at a point where I can comfortably say- This stuff can make me a millionaire.
And you still gotta keep working for it.

So don't lose hope. You're probably in the best place the digital world has to offer. Just have some patience and climb slowly. Someone will be always there to give you a hand. You gotta give the push!
All the best, bro.
 
You were doing something wrong if you made 20$ in 3 years of IM. Or maybe there is more to the story. But if you actively done IM for 3 years every day and made 20$ i really want to know what were you doing so i won't do it .

Don't get stressed bro....keep pushing forward. You will make it!
 
By now you supposed to had learnt how to build a blog, do keyword research, write article and do basic on page SEO. That is enough skill to earn you more than what you have earned right now. If you haven't learnt these skills then you need to start now.
 
I would guess that after doing IM for 3 years and successfully starting a e-commerce website with your partners, you should have also learned some profitable skills in the process. I would try to do some freelancing work until you make back enough money to start your own IM or e-commerce ventures again.

Good Luck !

Thanks for your feedback bro. I was depressed yesterday and didn't know what to do.

Sometimes I feel like I won't be able to reach my goal. You guys motivate me to push harder.

Thanks for the PM BTW

BHW never sent me notifications about your comments guys. Thanks @Sami Mirza for letting me know. Thank you so much for the encouragement. Today I feel much better
 
I would say facebook is a big driver to run the best experiments nowadays, everyone is on FB.

You can spend at least 3 months to know how to run a successful campaign. Targeting the right audience.

My advice, don't given up. Stay focused on one thing. Read a lot about passion, gather knowledge, master a skill and package that on a course and sell it.

Probably you are good at running fb ads, you might be good at marketing it you are good at driving traffic. Or you have a unique strategy. now go and launch a digital offer. Remembe . If your show people a good strategy and solve their problems, they will show you the money.

I'm really good at fb ads. The only thing that I struggle with is being consistent. I know almost all fb ads tricks. I can literally write a 200 page book on fb ads and ecommerce.

I couldn't consistently make profit on fb but i would make a lot of money on my lucky days/weeks
 
There are only 3 ways to earn a living online. Sell someone's product. Sell your own product or sell a service.

That seems cool. Now your have a skill. Go and launched a.course about running fb ads and help people.

We all suffer from consistency and productivity. The exact same thing happens to me and other folks.

Jim Rohn. Value takes time. You have to work harder and smarter to achieve big results. Learn from big leaders in your field.

Good luck

Thanks bro. I'll think about it

I know everything you mentioned bro.

Just curious, have you ever made money from seo? Don't mind answering if it's confidential
 
Hi. I can see you have got a client now from this forum. He is asking for fb ads. Now you see how great it is to start an online business teaching what you know.

I am happy for you.
