    Third failure. I need help. I'm 19 and seriously considering quitting entrepreneurship. This isn't rage bait — I genuinely need help

    MINDSET 
    Here's what I'm reading. "I made mistakes, that means there's something wrong with me" "Other people think lowly of me & that makes me want to quit" "I thought this would be faster because gurus on social media said so" "I thought I was special, extraordinary, but I'm not and that must mean...

    Third failure. I need help. I'm 19 and seriously considering quitting entrepreneurship. This isn't rage bait — I genuinely need help

    MINDSET 
    When I was 19 I had a great business idea that would have made me millions. I worked on it for 4 months and got some moderate interest + no sales. A few years later I ended up getting a client who did THAT EXACT BUSINESS that I was trying to do. He was successful at it and I wasn't. He even...

    Weird Funnel Issue

    FEEDBACK 
    Not enough data Put Microsoft Clarity on the website & see what the people are doing. You can watch their sessions. Anyway: it's a bit confusing. I say I want to try Pet Papers for free, but then I get something asking if I want self care tips? I get why it's relevant, but that's not what I...

    Weird Funnel Issue

    FEEDBACK 
    As in, 50 people visited the site and didn't submit their email, or 50 people submitted their email and didn't go any further?

    What exactly counts as an ‘angle’ in Facebook ads? (Genuine question)

    MARKETING 
    Depends on who you ask I split "angles" into hooks / base scripts / offers The most important part of the angle is the hook. The hook is where 80% of the money is. If you're gonna spend time/money testing ANYTHING it should be hooks. The hook is just the first few seconds of the video: the...

    QUESTION 
    No but I worked with agencies that did so regularly lol They didn't even see the problem and wondered why I was so mad at them for passing me clients with f*cked up expectations And they blamed the CLIENT for feeling burnt, blamed ME for poor performance, blamed everyone else but their...

    4 years of sweat and still no results.

    EXECUTION 
    I've done a lot of work in the beauty category over the years. My dad makes skincare for a large CPG, I sell skincare made by small companies. Finding people to create content with is pretty easy, but you do need cash to do it. It's become harder to give creators only product and not pay them...

    TikTok Shop May Be The Biggest Opportunity In Years

    MARKETING 
    Correct but driver's licenses acts as both. IF you want to apply with a passport they will also ask for proof of residence

    TikTok Shop May Be The Biggest Opportunity In Years

    MARKETING 
    Following. I haven't tested it extensively but my experience with it so far has been: It's either impossible to set up, or everything goes smoothly, and there doesn't seem to be any reason behind it. (I've tried to get clients set up on TT shop for months and have been unsuccessful in some...

    HEALTH

    Youtuber for 3 years until I realized that, maybe AM I going the slow way?

    INTRO 
    It's just scale that you need to solve, and if you can't solve that, then you can't be rich doing it. But that probably means: more and better content. The big issue with Youtube and affiliates is that there's a single point of failure. If you lose your AdSense income, you have no business...
