I would say the most stressed I've ever been but I am past that point now.

I've been 'self-employed' for about the last year or so and now that that is coming to an end.

Not sure where I left off here at this forum since the last time I was here. Throughout the past year, I was running a very profitable successful Amazon based product business AND consulting business.

That all died and seized to exist after making a few minor mistakes which created huge problems.

After that all came crashing down I tried my hand at making money with Instagram (in an effort to create income again), spent a couple thousand $$$ for nothing to work AT ALL.

I even paid 'gurus' that were full of shit.

At this point, I just feel somewhat lost I guess. The past several weeks have been the most stressful of my life.

No income, more debt, more expenses. My discipline in all areas of life gone. Bad habits stacked on laziness and depression.

To top it off my dog Daisy had to be put down too...

I have to be honest, I am worried. I have been applying for jobs. I know I will get one.

But it won't pay enough to cover any of my debt.

I have been practicing my skill in copywriting (not content writing). I did attend a week-long copy camp that was of tremendous value.

I plan on using my knowledge of copywriting to get out of this debt and stop scraping by.

I have no choice but to make money writing copy. I have the skill, I don't need to spend any money to get started. I have what it takes.

Anyway, it is great to see some of you again. I am excited to interact and be a part of this community.

I'm 21, still young, I am in no rush to be a millionaire like I was before.

Rant over.

How does starting an Instagram business kill your Amazon business? Part of the story is missing.

Hi.

The IG business didn't kill the Amazon business.

After the Amazon business crashed I spent money learning Instagram and how to monetize it in an effort to get something going again.
