If only someone wrote a few books on the exact struggles you're having, and continue having.

Count the # of times "I" is written...
Count the # of times the word "value" is written...

This is why you have 20 losses and 0 wins.

Hello, I'm feeling totally broke... I really want to start my own business or start freelancing (I just want to work on my own). For about 2 years, I tried different types of business, side hustles, and freelancing. I tried e-commerce: firstly, I tried drop-shipping with organic TikTok and social media marketing - 0 results. After that, I tried to buy stock and resell products, also using free marketing strategies. I did it for 4–5 months but got only 5 maximum orders. After that, I tried freelancing. I have average web development skills (WordPress, WooCommerce/HTML+CSS+JS). I had created my own website, had portfolio with at least 5 examples. As a main marketing source, I used cold mailing. For every 200–300 emails I sent, I got maybe 1 feedback, and very rarely, it was positive. I did it for about 6 months and got only 3 clients (for a very low price, because no one wanted to pay the normal price, even though I'm from Europe).

Basically, I have tried drop-shipping, stocking products and selling them, and freelancing as a web developer, but without results. Maybe I have done something wrong, maybe bad marketing, but I really tried to read forums, search information on the internet, view videos, and use all the tips, but still, no bigger results...
I'm thinking, what can I do? What can I try? I can also invest some money (not very much) in an idea, but for now, I don't have any more ideas. I'm thinking about going back to web developing, but isn't it oversaturated? It looks like there are a lot of "web developers" who can do websites for $50...

I'm looking for advice. What can I try now? I can put in a lot of time and effort, and I'm not looking for very much money; I just want to have activity, which can replace 8–17 work. As I said, I have some experience in e-commerce and web developing. Also, I'm able to learn something new.

You can search for Lex Deville’s posts here. He has posted many workable ideas on small business and hustles.

Have you considered a forum where people could find help or maybe authoring some books / doing podcasts / having social media platform? Chop chop, MJ. Maybe try helping some people. lol

@ThomasGenk1 'Provide VALUE and you will never want'. Turn $1 into $2. Start a progress thread and talk it through. You got this!

@goldminer How is the book going?
Re sticking to one thing....I have been seeing this a lot lately.
I have this question at the back of my mind - How do we know the one thing will work? How long do we stick with this one thing?
I mean we could go years.

I don’t put anything past anybody nowadays I had to explain what taxes were to an angry 27 year old employee who got his first paycheck with us.

I also had to explain to an employee yesterday that if the equipment doesn’t work, they need to call someone instead of just skipping 50% of their job.
