alright I’m going to do an e-commerce business since I now have a job and therefore have starting capital

my idiotic self thought that I could somehow make money without money for a good 2-3 years

I’m so dumb I shouldove gotten a job at 14-15, my low iq self got easily brainwashed by the red pill gurus and Andrew Tate and how they talk about how the 9-5 job and minimum wage jobs (wage slaving) was bad

Im so stupid omg, and because of that I spent 2 years doing nothing but occasionally scrolling through this forum learning nothing and wanting a fast method, trying to learn SEO but also forgetting that you need money for testing and whatnot and just being very fucking stupid

Then last year I found out about sports betting and online slots, my idiotic self who is very delusional thought I could somehow go against the odds and actually win big CONSISTENTLY

I was literally thinking I could cash 10-12 leg parlays with ease, I lost a lot of money and make some very bad decisions because of that

all of 2024 was just me doing surveys on gpt (get paid to) sites then putting the money on sports betting just to lose. I was a coinbase peasant (just waits for the monthly airdrops)

but anyway here is what I learned from all of that

be patient, do not over complicate (big one!), do try to “reinvent the wheel”, and be realities

I’m not going to be optimistic and whatnot as if everything will go the way I want it to go (I want it to be exactly how I imagine it but I also know that is not reality)

but here’s the “plan”

if I actually think and apply myself I can do things.

I’ll probably watch a course or 2 but will only look at what is actually relevant.

finding a niche will be another thing I have to do.

a big one is that I will analyze and copy what the best of the best do.

and if I have to make a website and design it on Wordpress or whatever, I’m going to copy copy copy. because that shit it very boring and just hard to do

my strategy is to copy the best of the best with my own product/niche

then I’ll learn what works and what doesn’t. i am not that afraid to fail because i expect it a little

the best salesman can sell anything, most people focus on the niche when the strategy to get conversions is very important.

I was impatient, delusional, and over complicated everything to realize this

people ask and want the niche of people who are successful in e-commerce, but they are seeking the wrong thing

the niche is one thing but the strategy is the most important. that’s what make the money.

you learn that shit and you can sell anything.

you learn that shit and you’ll be able to start any e-commerce business from scratch and scale it with ease.

I’m typing fast so there will be spelling and grammatical errors.

but yeah, I’m going to learn what’s important, analyze the best of the best, and keep everything fast and simple.

the opposite of what I was doing in the past.
 
I've actually done some of the things you mentioned in this post at some point in my life like sports betting.

It's all good mate... life has a way of teaching us lessons that we can apply later on to make better decisions and choices.

I wish you success with your new plan and the strength to stick to it. Rooting for ya

Cheers !
 
We all has made mistakes. I feel that you should get a job first.
 
Go ahead ,move forward

thank you all for the support

but i face a common but annoying obstacle

and it is time + drive/discipline (idk what to call it

I have less time since I work 4 days a week from 1-10pm

and when I don’t have work I have no discipline or commitment. I don’t know what to call it

I just sit there and doomscroll, consume social media, and rot on my bed all day long

I know that if I apply myself I can achieve my goals but that’s the problem, I don’t apply myself

I am lazy.

I'm at that condition too. the worst is, my heart know what happened and why the situation happen.
I think your heart know why.. and i believe actually you already know what must you do and why you not yet do it.

I think , more easy to fix when we don't know the problem, so when another or some else tell to us what the problem and the way to fix it and the solution, we can solve the problem
More difficult when we already know what the problem, know the solution, but we not want do it because some reason.
 
bro im glad u understand it. But theres no excuses to stop doing something untill u see results
Life is hard and everything around us is hard, everybody face it in their life. Just take actions brother, make a plan, stop being distracted, stop using social media for fun, and start taking actions,we belive in u buddy
 
This was one of the realest posts I’ve read in a while. Owning your past decisions and shifting focus to actual execution puts you miles ahead already. You’ve clearly absorbed some solid lessons now it's just about consistent action. Will be following your journey. Wishing you clarity and progress ahead!
 
Really respect the honesty here it's a big step to recognize where things went wrong and shift your approach. Taking time to observe, simplify, and follow proven paths while adapting them to your own style is a solid mindset. Looking forward to seeing your progress in ecom. Keep moving forward!
 
Scrolling through the forum for 2 years was not waste of time. You would have come across lot of seo information and other make money online methods. The only mistake you did was that you never took action.
 
Hello Dear!
Learn from mistakes. Be patient, keep it simple, follow good strategy
and stay consistent.
You’ll succeed.
Best of luck!

Don't be too harsh on yourself.

So, which e-commerce business did you decide to copy, and what's the timeline?
Public commitment helps.

If you're starting with e-commerce from scratch:
1. Make sure that the demand is huge and growing, so that even with competition you'll get clients
2. In the beginning copy a business that is succeeding, including pricing & product range,
