I really want to make some money, I truly really do. The idea of working a 9-5 for the rest of my life has filled me with genuine dread since I was old enough to understand how much I valued free time (like 11 maybe). About two months ago I quit my job working at corporate a$$ whole foods, and the past two months have been leukwarm in progress at best. I will admit I have wasted plenty of time. It isn't all bad, between hours of videogames and social media I have managed to build my physique to an incredible stature, I have furthered my musical production abilities, picked up MMA at a nearby gym, and atleast taken some time to change my mindset regarding possibilities.
My business idea was to sell web design. Now I am no web designer myself, the idea was to find actual web design freelancers, or contractors and hire them for the work. I would simply find clients and then get connected with people who could provide the product. I would be one part of a two part machine, sales and management, and the other part were my contractors, production. I did cold outreach and sent probably close to one hundred personalized sales messages over the course of two weeks after I had taken a week or two to learn a little bit about general business and marketing with not a single development. I had a website that looked pretty nice, I targeted people who would actually need my product
(restaurants with a poor website, or no website) but everything I did got me nothing, not a single dollar. I am pretty discourage and looking for other ways to perhaps make some money, or even some ideas or strategies as to how I can make this work. Is this even a good idea?
I don't have many marketable skills. I know a lot about fitness, I know how to produce music, but those don't seem lucrative, any ideas? Open to discussion, don't be afraid to call me an idiot if you think it necessary. Here to learn no matter how difficult to hear the criticism is.
