So.. this post is not actualy dwell-fest, It's more kind of summary, of where I am right now, and also I would like to ask for some advice, life direction, maybe someone was there and overcome this.
Here's my story:
I'm 19 years old guy from Eastern Poland, Since I can remember I was interested in computers, at age of 13-14 I was messing around with HTML (I had no internet back then, everything was from CD's, I was interested in creating websites and HTML games where story was based on links you clicked)
Then when I finally got internet connection I stopped learning html, and got lazy, I played a lot of online games..
Im terrible at math (I hate it since I was born lol mainly because IMO in math there is "only one way of doing things" for example 2+2 will ALWAYS no matter what equal 4, I don't think world is black and white, people are not machines)
Just because of this one subject I had to change high school twice.. this year, I'm going to finish it part-time..
Year ago I got interested in making money online, I never had any of MY money (not counting scholarship, 30$ a month lol) so at this stage I decided It's time to do something..
My first online income was from microjob website, I was making like 10$ a week for 3 weeks.. then I found Black Hat forum and I started re-selling fiverr gig's, this made me like 55$ a month, It felt great! Party at nights and while you was partying, money was rolling in! (I was 18, I guess that's normal reaction :icon_super
Soon, after holidays, everything was dead. "Business" gone.
Fastforward to now, from year 2012-2013 I was trying other online ventures.. I was trying to be blogger and "authority" by faking-it-since-you-make-it. You can read my BS here Passive Income Story
I tried making video games using software like Construct and Unity (I don't know how to code) but I never managed to get anything done. (you can see my latest project here Badlands Windows, Web, Mobile game - Indie DB)
Sucesses so far ?
-I've sold 1 ebook for .. 1$ ! Using non-copyrighted content! (GREAT SUCCESS! lol)
-Month ago I've done some graphic freelance work creating facebook fanpage covers - made 10$
and.. I've bought Jack Daniels with friends to celebrate "holidays ending" in garage. (I don't have a dime for myself, but we were drinking JD.. haha)
That's my summary of what I was "busy with".. I live kind of on the edge, 19 y.o, no money = no driver's lincence, no gym, no nothing
I would like to ask more experienced users here, where do I go, should I focus on creating games ? Or creating somekind of online business ? Im creative, but my creations are useless.. I don't know what should I do.. Do you think any of these things that I do have any potential ?
This long wall of text was my introduction to the forum, to get peoples know me.
Thank you for taking your time to read this, and sorry for my English.
