Final quarter of 2021, I was finally done with my side hustle that really didn't go anywhere. I started a e-commerce webshop for building computers. The reason I stopped the side hustle were the following reasons:
  • There was barely any income, mostly spending money on advertising and running cost
  • Prices of computer parts are obnoxiously high, every person is trying to save on the cost of having it build
  • I read The Fastlane Millionaire.
But.. didn't you start reading the book to become a 'better entrepeneur'? Yes I did and I learned the following things:
  • For every new customer that I would acquire I would probably 'earn' about $100,-
  • Every customer would take about 1,5 hours of my time to order the parts and construct the pc
  • After sales, such as care was insane. Most people that buy a pc, have no clue how they work
  • Every extra sale I would get, was 1,5 hours of my time 'lost' to creating the PC.
The book was the nail in the coffin for my side hustle, but it actually freed me. I took what I learned from starting it, and am now learning additional skills to supplement these skills.

What I learned before:
  • How to build a website
  • How to maintain a website and hosting
  • How to market a product (My website was 4th for search terms in my country (Netherlands) related to Gaming PCs after a year)
  • What to do to rank better
What I am learning now:
  • Web Development
    • HTML/CSS done
    • Working on JavaScript + extension to React next

The reason I joined this forum, is because I would also like to learn from all of you. I got truly inspired by the story of MJ, and some others while I was lurking the forums without an account. I aspire and work hard to become an inspiration for others too one day.

Enough about me, time to dive further in to the forums and start having proper conversation.

See you around,
Lee.
