Longtime lurker turning to participator

So here this goes.. Nice to meet ya'll. As the title says I've lurked on bhw for a long time and thought, it was finally time to join and participate so I can learn as much as I can. I'm one of those losers who has spent years reading about IM (first ran into bhw about 5 years ago) without ever attempting/accomplishing anything.

I have a rough understanding of many of the concepts within IM from all of my reading, but have never practiced learning any skills or spent much time "failing forward". I'd like to start with a project that could earn over the short term, just so I could use the money to invest in more long term projects. I have some disposable income that can help me start, but I'd like to "earn" the investment money too.

I'm not great technically speaking (tech savvy just very inexperienced when it comes to doing activities for IM), but I'm very interested in blackhat and learning all of the technical skills to do it. Anyways, if you guys have any suggestions of where my skill level and disposable money might be able to start I'm all ears.

See you around the forums. I'll be the guy asking annoyingly basic questions haha.

Wel all have to start somewhere, glad you decided to join.

Welcome to BHW.

Welcome to you, it's good you took your time before jumping into anything crazy without thinking, what was the best thing you learned here looking back to this 5 years ?

Since I spent most of that time not experimenting I would say I still have a lot to learn but I really got a handle on the idea you’re trying to match a niche offer/product with a niche audience.

Most importantly I learned doing something blindly (albeit at first) is better than trying to perfectly plan. Find something you think you can do and just give it a go!

Welcome and good luck. I hope you do well.
One thing that I have learned is find something you enjoy (a method more than niche, although enjoying a niche is good) and stick to it till it works.

The other thing I have learned more recently, is that this name may be the best here...

Welcome man, I’m in the same boat.
Known about BHW for years, looked at it, but only kicked tires

do you have a particular niche your leaning towards?

That is great! It means you must have lots of interesting theories about various methods that might make you money. Now it is time to put them in practice and see what truly works and what not. Dont forget to add your own twists to your methods to find a more effective way of accomplishing your goals.


Also, lets connect. I would like to see what you are up to.

You are right it is very important to take actions and not be stuck in theory, what I also did for a long time and start to realise that you can read all you want, if you don't do, you don't move, even if you think that you progress...

Thank you very much for this, I put time and effort in finding a name sounding so stupid so that everybody that sees it, has a smile on his face, so your comment is much appreciated man!
