The funny thing is that other will do everything in their power to demotivate you about being your own man and throw statistics like 90% of start up businesses fail. Uncovering the fail gate safe is the first step to enlightenment.

i started with geocities, running forums, editing forum plugins, sites with content, like wallpapers on it, tv episode tracking sites, financial blogs, micro job platform, crypto mining. i just make sites over and over, just putting ads on em, cull the unprofitable ones, try to make the profitable ones more profitable. i learned how to code just from needing to install plugins on forums a long time ago. had staff for awhile and then after everything started to fail and almost went bankrupt decided id just do it all on my own. gotta keep putting money into crypto so i can retire to a specific country.

That's not the optimal solution IMHO. A scalable product is better than any website spamming / ad revenue, more scalable and more rewarding. For each their own I guess.

before starting business i worked a job i hated and sometimes had to work weekends or late nights b/c of crunch culture in gaming industry

first two years starting business were stressful and i worked a lot of hours

I used to do the same. Eventually ended up making a forum that promised to deliver free http links to movies, software etc but all I wanted was their email address and password from my compromised version of vbulletin I was running. Surprising how many spastics use the same password for their PayPal account as they do on any random Warez forum. We made a cunt tonne of money, the dude I was in on it with was all over bitcoin back when it started, if I was still in contact with deathstar316 I'd dare say hed be lambo'd up these days

Only cus' you got dubs

First. Don't believe me or at least fully accept everything I say. A businessmans advice is almost as worth as the quote he gives you before a job.

Find a business you have a good idea about. Estimate your charges to start it. Market the fuck out of it. Don't charge cheap(you start competiting prices when you start you've failed). Literally make every waking moment of your life dedicated to it( i used adderall and booze to keep me focused)

But remember that the business you start should not be expensive to start to begin with and NEVER start cheap but find a way to convince people your product is good shit even if it isn't. People don't usually know otherwise

ad revenue is different but it comes in cycles. i do affiliate marketing on the side and every 2-3 years people would say its over and dead, and then the next trend would start. then its dead forever, then the next trend starts. you can run a large enough site off ad revenue, the larger you get the better/higher paying ads you get and the more lenient companys are. adsense used to blacklist my sites if they had a waifu in a bikini on them, but once you drive enough traffic/revenue, they let it slide instead of blacklisting. same how they treat youtubers differently based on size which sucks when you're small time but acts as a nice gate when you get bigger to prevent ppl from coming in to compete. im in a western country, own a house, etc. all bought off ad clicks. 85% of my income is still ad revenue.

>>10422342
thats just the path I took, I have my old sites still up on my server but am focused solely on a single project now though i could just live off the ad revenue from my older sites. people were debating both sides of many projects vs a single project since i first started making money online. even after i take my current project as far as i can, i have more sites i want to make.

oh man, when i was still in high school one day, i got the idea to try one of my users email + pass on paypal at my local librarys computers. no one encrypted passwords on sites at the time so everything was plaintext but it worked and i was like oh shit. i logged out and never went any further, just started putting messages on my sites to remind ppl they need unique passwords. but yeah, i doubt ppl even practice good password security to this day. i regularly see people trying to run bots on my own projects login pages like testing user/email/password lists they got from somewhere.

there was a site back then called movieforumz or something like that but it was just a forum where ppl linked to where you could watch tv eps and movies. that dude made bank off ad revenue, bought a ferarri, got into drugs, then shut the site off before anyone cared about copyrights.

things were simpler back then, a lot of ppl i talk to its kind of funny most people had similar paths or ran similar sites.

being an entrepreneurship-cuck is objectively worse than wage slaving nowadays. I'd rather have a measly $100k in steady income as a wage slave developer vs. eating boot leather so I can keep my doors open for another day.

Im not even sure where ppl should start nowadays. I know some ppl who just do mturk as a neet making $500-$1500/mo. if I was starting fresh Id probably just go into apps even now when ppl say its saturated. or work any job putting money into crypto. ive been lucky so far but im sure as each year goes by you gotta me more and more persistent and get a lucky break somehow. theres tutorials everywhere if you ant to learn how to code heres a tutorial on how to make crypto dapps for instance

About a month ago. Launching next week doing commercial energy consulting. I didn't even realise how much money was in it until halfway in. I've got a background in sales/solar/energy so it's not that big a jump. This country has a shitload of energy subsidies as well for this kind of work, I think I'll be able to clear 100k in the first month of trading (profit before tax)
