[Road to $10K] either starting a business & winning or getting a job & Losing!

Hi Guys, I really appreciate the people on this forum who shared really great stories, tips, strategies, and their journey to success, this forum is the best place for me, no forum can replicate it, I enjoy the quantity and the quality of the information that has been shared by great, and amazing people. Thank You.

So, I will talk spontaneously (excuse me if I made an error) and fast about myself, and my journey to creating an online business, and I want everyone who read this to get inspired and start now, no more excuses, no more laziness, and no more distractions.

So, I'm 21 years old, I don't believe in depression as a disease but I've been in depression for 7 years, I still live with it and I love it, it's like a motivation for me that gives me power! I'm an introverted person, I have few friends, but I stopped talking to them because all of their topics are boring, things that will never make us successful, plus they don't like talking about business and money, no waste time in crap, I'm known as a serious person, I don't like problems, I like calm, I love learning and helping people, that's why I learn a lot and my goal is always focusing to create something valuable and not chasing money first, I have good skills, I will talk about them later in my Info about the business I will start,

I have two bachelor's degrees, one in commerce and management, and the other in digital marketing, and for almost half a year I didn't succeed in no business, I'm working just as a freelancer, and I got like $500 those 4 months, I feel that the gig (social media management) is so boring, waste of time, almost a lot of efforts for low money and is not even scalable, plus the clients don't do exactly the strategies that I provide in the files, so it makes it more difficult for me to grow their engagement with real people, I will stop tomorrow my services with a loyal client, and focus in one thing, in one scalable and profitable business.

Plus I didn't succeed and that's all because I was so lazy, afraid of failing, making so many excuses, and getting distracted so much, and I got shiny object syndrome (so many business ideas without action), so now the time is 5:00 AM, and I can't sleep anymore and I write this journey, so I can make no more excuses, no more laziness, this journey either I will make my dream become true and continue in my entrepreneurial path and create helpful projects in the future in the SAAS world or I will go working as a junior auditor, in finance, or in a commerce department for a salary that I will never settle for and I will never be comfortable with, and stop dreaming.

This journey is so special, I will try to combine all the skills I have into focusing on one single business.

The Info about this journey for my business:

• Business Type: Affiliate Marketing Business (Blog, Review, and Selling digital products like courses and ebooks about my knowledge)
• Simple Niche Overview: Evergreen and Hot niche with a lot of competition, high demand, and a combination of digital/physical products, I know it's hard but I also have a strategy to get out from the red ocean to the blue ocean.
• Skills & Resources I have: Marketing, SEO, Social Media Marketing, Copywriting, Facebook Ads, hard and soft close, basic Python scripting, selenium, and web automation (I'm still learning by practicing with real projects), three languages (this will be helpful because I will translate my website in two languages targeting two different language speakers, I will use a plugin that will help me translate plus keep the SEO for the other language) and I'm so fast learner, budget $100 (I'm thinking I will do everything almost free only the hosting and domain name that I will need to buy), I have some bots to automate some tasks in social media, content creation, and SEO.
• My Goal is $10K before December.
• My Plan is to make money next month, I will rely on creating a full SMART method so I can be more precise.
• I will write two high-quality articles every day, I want to do them manually for better results, and I will use ChatGPT for help of course.
• I will do everything by myself, I will not hire anyone.

I have a question for someone who uses Blocksy Theme please, Is the Free Blocksy Theme can help me rank, because I only use the free version and I see it's doing great? thanks in advance.

If I succeed in this venture I will of course share the full case study, and I will share some scripts for free with this amazing community, I will try to keep updating this journey every time I accomplish something new.

Some Final Notes:

I believe that everyone can make money if they can focus on solving problems in people's life (either by entertaining, alleviating stress, giving advice, saving time, or educating them about something valuable you understand...)

If you choose a business, don't hesitate in choosing between if you should continue or not, even if you make a mistake remember if you are going to fight in a boxing match or play in a soccer game when you see yourself losing, there is no way back, continue until you show that you have done a great match.

Starting a Business is like starting a workout in a gym, all of them, need a great plan and smart strategy. Gym (NO PAIN, NO GAIN) in Business (NO RISK, NO REWARD)

Please support this journey and if you have advice or questions for me, I will be so happy to listen or answer. Hope you have good luck guys too.

Remember people buy solutions

Good luck on your journey

Best of luck.

Update:

For almost three days I started working like a pro on my website, I try to keep my focus, and even if I get distracted a lot, and lazy for some hours, I try to bring that passion to keep being disciplined, and stoic.

So I can keep myself motivated and more disciplined, I decided to write this update of What I've almost done on those three days and what I will do:

I got a client on Fiverr (I've said previously that I will stop freelancing but this client is loyal and she likes my work, so I couldn't say no + she said she will buy a premium package this Friday, so I can't say no to money), the gig is easy is about social media management, but boring, I don't want to use any bot for her account, so yeah, I will manage it manually for two days with a little money but I will try to keep 100% my time & my focus on my business, and 2 hours on her account (when I feel I need to rest).

I published 4 blog articles with +1000 words + Good SEO, I've added synonyms, and I've searched for Keywords with less difficulty, and high search (above 100), I tried to edit and write some of them manually and do some on-page SEO because ChatGPT still repeats the same hook in the same paragraph which can make it detected by Google as a bot, so I try to make the articles more valuable, informational and more conversational so the reader can understand that it's written by a human.

I've 2 review articles about 2 products, I made the things look professional as I love the Free Blocksy theme, and it helps me write professional reviews.

I've added some products with short descriptions on another page, and I made the design look professional, I will try to change the look more, so it can appear different and more than great, I try to focus on the UX because it's important.

I got all the pages indexed, and I've set up everything from GSC to GA.

I found a new website made by someone with a large number of monthly visits, it's almost new just this year, it releases only blogs, but almost close to the same niche, and that's great because I found someone that I can compete with this year.



What I'm going to do next three days:

Add more professional features to the website.
Focus on quantity (add more articles) and quality (Good SEO and delivering the most value).
Create social media accounts to promote the products.
Add 3 other reviews with less competition and high search volume.
I'm reading an advanced ebook about SEO, I prefer books rather than buying courses.
I will try to do more & more work, so the website will look so amazing and acceptable.

Good Luck Too.

21 is a good age I earned my Internet Money at the age of 25 that's when I joined this wonderful forum my only regret is I didn't start this sooner. Reading this thread is like looking at myself in the mirror except for the skills parts, you've got an amazing set of skills.

Yes, I have been suffering from this too and still I can't focus on a single thing that hurts me to scale my work to earn more.

not a pro but I read here that only content matters the most as long as your article is indexed.

Good luck on your journey man, Keep us updated!
