Some guidelines to increase your success. (based on my experiences)

YW man, thnx for reading.


I know what you mean man.

Although what you read inhttps://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/a-different-kind-of-success-story-which-hopefully-gives-you-an-extra-push-long-ass-read.1111098/thread, I really never let them know about anything. When I slept outside in the winter, when I was homeless in the States or when I was incarcerated, I always kept them in the dark about it as I didn't wanted them to worry.

As you know with addiction, it's not about not wanting to stay clean it's purely a mental war with many battles and I lost MANY battles but haven't lost the war, all I can do is try my hardest but only very few people can understand how hard it is. They only see you from the outside socially but on the inside, it's hardcore.

I've been starting to ignore news since this week again, even that is hard to stay away from as I always wanted to know what's going on in these turbulent times in my country and continent but I just need to let it go, it's just a waste of time and at the end of the day you can't do anything about politics and BS anyway so fuck em.

Yesterday I went to a site that has the most horrifying videos on the internet, I mean some real messed up shit! Not that I enjoy seeing it but it puts me back in place and realizing that even though I do not like the way things are going here and hate among different groups are increasing I'm still in a part of the world where we have the most freedom in the world so I shouldn't complain too much about that aspect of it.

Rightly said and to add...your job is to focus on yourself and not worry about others and let the politicians do their job

Lol yeah but that's the thing they suck at their job but it's time I take the advice of my 92yo grandfather who has seen many governments come and go, at the end of the day it doesn't matter who is in there, they are all the same which is true.

Every now and then I watch this piece of the late George Carlin.

Garbage in, Garbage out

Thanks bro
At least i can now try because i know am not alone
It's not easy when you are a student doing a course you hate and you don't have anyone around you to advice you when yo confused about everything and don't know what to do
it's hard to even find someone who knows IM in Uganda because even when they do know they don't want to share their experiences with you
anyway thanks Billy

Thank you for the post. It was a good eye opener for me. Had a question for you regarding starting out...

I realize there is so much info here and being new, I can see how I am already starting to jump around reading on different topics because sometimes posts are like rabit holes that just bring me deeper into something lol.

But in terms of learning and sticking to something, would you say the best approach is to start reading and then find something that kinda appeals to you? For example, I was reading a method on setting up a shopify store and running FB ads to drive traffic and I thought to myself "Okay, I like this concept, it makes sense to me". Where as I read another method about following people on IG and I was like "eh, idk if id be interested in putting in the leg work for something like this".

Am I thinking about this the right way for a beginner trying to find their niche?

Thanks in advance!

Yeahhhhhh boyyyyyyy


Sorry for the late reply. I think this is personal preference but I would definitely go with what feels good although it's always nice to experiment with other stuff. I can already tell you that taking a shopify store and doing FB ads is a LOT harder than it might seem. You need to keep in mind people making these videos about it are not making the majority of their money with doing it their selves. They are mostly making money of people that believe it looks easy and buy their course.

Doing FB ads has and will continue retiring people from IM as you can lose a lot of money in a very short amount of time.

I've tried all kinds of stuff, also like you read hundreds of methods and threads, trying what seemed easy first. Stuff like porn reupload, follow-unfollow,, made people do surveys but I didn't like any of these as the results for the time it takes was very disappointing for me at least.

So yeah man, do what you feel like doing first, if you fail try again and again. If you're 1000% sure you have done everything in your power to make it work and still fail, you might need to consider that is not for you. Can't recommend you a beginner niche as there is none. Pretty much every niche out there has competition, the challenge is to get better at that niche than the majority.

Hope it all made sense, If you got any more questions just drop em here.



And OT, I finally haven't watched the TV and followed the news online for 3 weeks straight, it's awesome!

Thanks!

I wanted to drop you another question since I know you have some experience in dropshipping/wholesaling.

When it comes to wholesaling on eBay (not dropshipping from Ali, but holding physical inventory), is it as simple as finding stores that have high selling products, sourcing your own, improving the titles/keyword optimization, and listing it up in your store?

If this isn't really on the topic of this thread, feel free to PM me instead .

Thanks!
