At minimum you can get a WordPress up and start writing content and building backlinks. You don't even need any cash to get started. @xdays on twitter inspired me to get a site up. Also a shoutout to @BowtiedOppossum and @BowtiedTetra. I've gotten some great tips from both and am seeing how far I can grow the site until my cash stops being tied up. (legal issues.)
Thankfully I have a career so a few months ago I got a second WFH position part time in the same industry.
If you haven't yet built up your career/resume enough to consult, in your field and you are building up savings to hit that $50k to really start in eCom, another idea is to run an agency model.
Try to target Roofers, Laser skincare shops, any business with a high customer value ($10k+ for a roof means each lead is valuable)
Offer to run paid ads with your pay being 10% of the ad spend.
Offer to run their ads, such that if you don't bring in at least 1 warm lead, you won't take any % fee at all. Your main goal with your first few clients is to get testimonials.
Get creative. I've heard of people watching the weather across the country for hailstorms, and then running ads in those locations the days after; pointing to a roof repair landing page. He would collect leads from that page and sell to local roofers.
You will need to cold call or, even better, try going out to these businesses in person and build relationships in your town. Don't be afraid to do things that don't scale.
Remember that there is an unlimited amount of money in the world. All you need to do is reach out and grab it.
I’m totally a hypocrite here and wasting time with small talk BUT this is one of the most important articles you all have written if someone understands and applies what you say.
See this in fitness ALL THE TIME. Guys enjoy it and know *enough*.
The issue is they lack the other skills. The intricacies that set “okay” with great.
For example I’m not good at fitness because I lift a lot of weights, it has literally nothing to do with that but rather my ability to communicate (like you all) complex topics in digestible, bite sized information a layman can understand.
See it all the time, “I’m passionate about XYZ, I’ll pursue that” but the cream rises to the top and if you’re not top 5-10% good luck making it.
Twitter is Musk’s marketing platform. He couldn’t afford to be deplatformed so he bought the platform. To get rid of unwanted DM’s, Twitter could allow the receiver of the DM to set a cost in USTT for the sender of the DM. The receiver could setup a list of whitelisted accounts where this would not apply. If the DM is valuable, the receiver of the DM could cancel the charge. Payments sent out monthly. This would filter out all of the worthless DM’s or you get paid to read messages. Win-win. Will be even easier when crypto is fully integrated into the platform.
Elon could easily suck all the value out of Twitter alternatives (Gab, Parler, Truth, etc), Discord, and Twitch with some minor adjustments while cutting overhead dramatically.
On twitter you say that we men should always pay for date. We agree, but how should we manage social life and the costs of dating while being homeless and having no socks?
I’m Trynna get into investment banking. I graduated in 2020 with degree in chem and minor in computer science high gpa and currently work in a lab. I’m Trynna find a way to transition and I’m kinda stuck. Am applying to internships in finance and looking to enroll in MBA at a top 50 school. Anyone here with advice on how I can finesse my way into finance ?
It's the same answer and will never change: lowest tax you can find and enjoy the city you live in. That's it. Also keep all your income as mobile as possible
Attractive girl or ability to save them time/money. Otherwise they have no interest as they already have friends/family and people to "vibe" with or whatever people say these days
No - your value to a wealthy person is exchanging your services for money, so that they can get time back. If you have a specific skill that is related to their business, this is your value.
When it comes to relative knowledge and ability, they probably are miles ahead. BUT - what you have that they don't is time and energy. What they have that you don't - MONEY.
Wealthy people will gladly part with money to get time back, as long as the service is above average quality. This is your way in, from there you can develop friendship.
That doesn't mean go in without a personality at all. Instead, understand your willingness to do the sh*t they no longer want to is incredibly valuable.
Join a service organization through your community or a local church. You'll probably find yourself one of the younger members and if you're useful and do what you say you're going to do, it's a good opportunity to network and meet others who can help you.
In that case, you'd approach it like you would with any other person. Figure out their specific interests and cultivate your knowledge of it so that you 2 can relate more than the common person.
This sense of community, relationship, and brotherhood is a value that wealthy and non-wealthy people are looking for.
No excuses!

This is solid
Elon could easily suck all the value out of Twitter alternatives (Gab, Parler, Truth, etc), Discord, and Twitch with some minor adjustments while cutting overhead dramatically.
The two challenges are:
1) hit your exit number
2) refrain from always increasing that number
(Bull is the only person I know who reduced his number (from 10T to 5T CMC)

Go to the jungle some bankers in there can help you finesse. Time is ticking though and top 50 MBA isn't gonna cut it
Keep reading the site - the blueprint is there. Use Twitter search functionality and you should find it pretty quickly

Ha. ok - wealthy people aren't looking for more people to crack jokes and vibe with.
What's your goal then if this is not a business question.
Join a service organization through your community or a local church. You'll probably find yourself one of the younger members and if you're useful and do what you say you're going to do, it's a good opportunity to network and meet others who can help you.
