I'm 21 yo living in 3rd world country, underpaid $2/day, and working in aluminum carpentry (it's the only place that I can work from 9-5, so I can do something the rest of the day), I learned coding and basics of web development, I haven't made something yet, just watching YT coding videos and doing the same, before that I've tried Print on demand, Instagram pages, blogging, ecom, flipping, but nothing works! nothing! I ended up learning to code, but with all the failing I had over all those years, I think everything is a scam, all the courses on the internet are scams,
for example, if a YouTuber is actually making millions with copywriting and has 5 clients, then how in the hell he can manage a YouTuber channel posting every single day, huh? not only that, also managing a discord server and teaching 1-1, doing live streaming. this is just one example of many.
I've been reading some threads on the forum and I've come up with the conclusion that people can make money and build wealth from any industry (it doesn't matter), but the more I look into it, I see that most successful businesses are online in some way or another, so operating the business online is necessary, here's the problem:
people in my country mostly don't use web apps, this leads me to think of building web apps or SAAS for worldwide use.
but the real question is: do I have to start a youtuber channel too? do I have to create courses too? is it luck? is it just a scam?
I wish I could but the Fastline book but I don't have money, so I looked up some summaries on yt, and now I do understand a bit about it. I appreciate any help/feedback/advice
When you start creating value for people, your ideas will start to work. Beyond that, there's not much advice to give. You're 21. You've barely tried anything, and haven't stuck with anything very long. You've drawn incorrect conclusions about what does and doesn't work, and those conclusions are based on common mindset challenges that none of us can fix for you.
You need to figure out who you are most qualified to help, and how you are going to help that person better than anyone else they might turn to for help with whatever they need help with.
If you want to overcome the mindset challenges that are blocking you from success, start asking yourself these questions:
- What makes my offer better than someone else's offer?
- Who can I help better than anyone else?
- How can I make this thing I'm trying to sell a better deal for the customer?
- What can I add, combine, subtract, find, deliver, connect that would make me the go-to source for what I'm trying to sell?
You already know that it IS possible to create wealth. So getting stuck on what "doesn't work" is just silly. What you should work on is figuring out how you are going to make your idea work. That will happen when you start asking questions like those listed above.
