hi,
I left my job yesterday for making my own journey.
I'm gonna create a company soon.
My main ability is I'm a web developer (mostly frontend), so my main resource will be my skills.
I'll code frontend websites and if needed basic backend websites. And I'm hoping that the money comes from those two will take care of bussines expenses.

But. I don't want to lose my hair on this stressful job. I want some simpler ideas to make when I'm free on my computer (I will have lots of time).

I recently started a dropshipping journey, but unfortunately I don't have a Paypal account, even tho I met & talked with some clients I couldn't make them buy because of Paypal.
I'm not sure if its worth to take risk but I may buy a paypal account. It will be risky, there are lots of risks there, I may get banned from paypal, I may get banned from the place I'm trying to make dropship or I may not make any sales.
But in my perspective Paypal is too expensive. Almost as expensive as my companys first month expenses.

Also I'm interested making e-commerce in my own country.
But I actually want to make somethings abroad because of currency difference. It will be like if I sell 3 products a week abroad, it will be equal to 15~30 products per week in my own country.

One of my friends here is making amazon e-commerce (fba). And he is making some money, enough for him and if I made that much enough for me too, but he paid almost 1500$'s for tutorials.
I don't have that much.
I've money for only paying for the products and maybe for the first month of amazon taxes and services.
So If I freely learn to use amazon and risk, I may loose all of my money, not some, really all.
I even couldn't start a bussiness if I lose that.


I have to build my own life now.
So basically I'm not sure if I should take risks.

There was a topic couple days ago, it was about something that 'whats wrong from 3th tier countries'
and I may say that the problem is budget and taking risks opportuntiy.
Someone from united states may risk 100-200$s easily on a test drive.
But for me, It's all the money.
So It's not taking a risk, its jumping from a cliff and hoping for living.

I just want to ask, what do you suggest me to do now.
I've tried upwork but I didn't get any customers even tho my services were cheap.
So I should focus on my own country for web development.
But It will take time until I make some serius budget to start better journeys,
If you want to suggest me something like 'you should take that risk because bla bla bla' or ' you can check this service it may help you because bla bla bla' or something else.
Just keep in mind, my balance is low, its like 100$~200$.
My time is limited to starting some money, after starting some I've unlimited time but until then I have to be quick to start making some money, even tho its low or high it doesn't matter.


Sorry for my English.
 
Where are you from?
How good are your fronted skills? (familiar frameworks like React?)

I don't want to mention where I'm from, something personal, I think sharing your location may change peoples reactions about your question.
My frontend skills are great I thought because I was working (still working actually) as a Full Stack web developer and making almost 10 fully functional responsive websites per month and was getting lots of payment from clients for those websites.
No I'm not familiar with react but I'm planning to learn react or vue on my free time, I'm also planning to make time for learning for myself. Also I'm interested in laravel too.
I'm just using pure html, sass, jquery and pure php on my websites.
 
Stick with your job till you decide what you actually want to do.

Too much going on.

Id build your name up as a freelancer before you quit once you have 2x your regular income coming in as a freelancer then leave your job.

Actually I was kinda intern on my job so I could easily 2x my salary as a freelancer, but I have to push harder to find jobs. Lately I've taken a freelance job almost like 1.5x my salary and it was taking half of the month, so basically If I push hard and find 2 freelance jobs like that per month I can 3x my salary.
But the problem is, my salary was intern salary so it was low.
I have to 4x or 5x my income to make it worth.
In regular job, its not possible, I can't simply 5x my salary in months on my real job.
Also it was taking all of my time and I wasn't have any time for any freelance jobs.
I believe that I can do all the stuff I mentioned in the thread but you're right too much going on. I have to figure out what to focus mainly, I'm a lazy person so coding is one of my abilites but not my ideal job style.
I'm kinda free person, I wan't to build a passive income and just give my time to that whenever I want, don't understand that like 'I will spend 10 minutes a day on that job', If I create something worth and I see the result of it, I can give that job more then 10 hours/day .
But to make me stricted to job, firstly I have to see results. Thats the reason why there are too much things I want to do, I don't know which one will be worth it.

Yeah it's not going to happen over night you need to give it time.

You admit you are a lazy person - so if you start freelancing for your self and making your self accountable it's REALLY easy to sit on the sofa and do work tomorrow... honestly I've been there is a hard cycle to break (I'm also super lazy but I've learnt to give my day structure) that's what you will be missing by not going to work for someone..
