Seeking real life advice from BHW members

Hey guys, I am kind of new here. I've been following this forum for several months, silently from the shadows, trying to learn as many things as possible.I haven't had the opportunity to introduce myself yet and I'm sorry that I'm doing it now in this unfortunate situation.
I am 22 years old living in a post-communist country and I have no education because I ve been working my a*s off since I was 16 years old in order to help and sustain my family. ( mostly construction and other physical labour ) so for me, from a career point of view, I don't really have much chance of employment in other places due to the lack of education.

Long story short through a multitude of events, including the most recent loss of my job, I think I am at the lowest point in my life both financially, morally and from all points of view it's a disaster.

Coming to this platform is not my first attempt to make money on the Internet and I can say that I have accumulated some experience through a multitude of experiments and failures in the past years.But now due to the loss of my job and the desperate need for money I feel more pressure to succeed in doing something. Skillwise, I would say that I know a little bit of everything, but I don't excel in anything in particular.

Most of the things I would like to start and most of the monetization methods (for example CPA or an Etsy shop etc ) require an investment of money in order to succeed and this is the biggest obstacle I have at the moment. So the advice i'm asking is what would you guys do if you were starting from scratch literally 0 with no money do you think it's possible to build a source of income with no money ?

I am not looking to get rich or anything like that.... it will be nice just to be able to survive.

Thanks

My advice is to find a job first, then try IM on the side. It’s really hard to make money with zero investment.

It's not that hard if you really really need to do it.

I always suggest the good old spam.

Lots of online courses are being sold on e-commerce and crypto also Forex/trading niche for 4-figures.

All those courses are usually leaked and you can find them online or ask in some forum/community.

So find such four-figure courses that people are after.. Usually they have built social media handles around their brand and course so contact those followers directly and offer them the leaked version of the course.

If they are asking $1000-2000 then you sell it for $100-150 but you need to spam over and over again.

This works and has always been working and I have even done this myself years ago. This doesn't require any skill either, sooner or later you figure out how to automate your business and how to fine-tune your customer acquisition skills.

If you make a sale after every few days then at the end of the month it's $1500 or more so if you don't have shit else to do and no funds to invest then just go and spam, it depends on how much you want it because it's really like a line work or 12 hours endless shift that you can do while sitting on your couch, but it works.

interesting, I never thought of that, thanks for the help

You can start as a VA for someone, then collect some initial money then invest it in one method.

Write down your assets.

I.e., your data assets. You know what? You have access to what? What can you use to the bank in an industry you are already familiar with, and maybe just the internet aspect of it? There is a story about a man that sold his farm to go searching for diamonds, and the buyer of the land found diamonds all up in the land, while the original farm owner died penniless. So don't make your journey long when you might be standing on a stash already.

not sure if its a real story, but the lesson is important, and so it doesn't have to be true, lol

One of the best assets is your internet connection and your daily feed of BHW journeys, ideas and discussions.
You'll have to make up in tenacity of working if you lack the skills and knowledge at first. That means as many hours and quality Mike Jones southern rap to keep you going as possible.

In that case, I would suggest that you look for your next job and work hard at it, perhaps work 2 jobs and save money for the next 8 to 12 months and then rethink about internet marketing. The way internet marketing is now, one must never consider starting or restarting internet marketing in desperation.

My input is that if I had a job, all the time I have put into educating myself would've been that bit more tiring, but that much less stressful...

Education is key in my opinion, then it's work ethic... This forum has listened to me saying "gonna learn this to do this", there does seem to be a point where too much study and not enough work will f*ck you!

Work, study, work, do, work, do, work, do, work, study what you're doing, work, grow...

Like you, I follow the forum like the Invisible Man, and I think your life is very much like mine, since I do a lot of physical work like you do. My advice to you is to take risks like I will take risks.

Do you enjoy more in Black Hat techniques or White Hat? If you prefer to go with Black Hat the projects you start would not be long-lasting in general.
