So I started an ecommerce shop and spent a great deal of money and talked about it in the INSIDERS, but not making any money at all so starting a new product for development, but what I learned that ecommercce and building your own brand is the most arbitrary thing ever, no guarantee.
Currently, emailing back and forth with manufacturer and saving up for production if I end up getting a positive response from the market that the product is good. This could be close to another 6 months or more. I am just fed up that for the next several months or maybe even close to a year, I will be making absolutely NO MONEY, banking on something that is also a NO GUARANTEE. So worse case scenario is that failure, happens again and spend tons of time and money and then all goes to shit. I know a lot of people say failure is a good thing, but REALISTICALLY it is not at all, based on my experience. Please note: I do learn from failures.
Every failure I have, sets me back dramatically in terms of time frame, since my income is only dependent on my day job.
Is there any other methods to make money or get a return on investment now besides slowlane? Briefly, looked at freelancing and that option seems to be even worse than slowlane. You gotta be both salesman and good at particular craft. Skills have been devalued completely due to oversea workers on fiverr and upwork.
I have no money to start any other venture unless I sell all my investments, but that is the only thing that is actually giving me positive cash flow, but growth is dependent on job income.
How do I make money now without slowlane. I can't stay stagnant or bank on ecommerce anymore. Last Resort is two full time Slowlane jobs and pretty much destorying my entire 20's. Have not enjoyed a wick of life because business is paycheck to paycheck.
Venture I wanted to take was real estate renting, but seeing how it is just about the worst time to get a mortgage.
