Hi folks

That's my progress thread.

You can find my introduction here.

The next 4 months I will try different things. My goal: Having a successful online business (1k monthly income would be a mega success for me for the next 4 months)

What I'm gonna do next:

1. I have had designs made on Fiverr this week. I will set up a Shopify store, find a print on demand supplier and then try to sell the t-shirts through FB Advertising. I've picked out a niche/theme where there are already other sellers who make good sales (I can see it from the sales figures), but my t-shirts are still new and innovative. That probably won't earn me much money, but I hope to break even and gain a lot of experience.

2. I have an idea for an affiliate site. I have no experience with affiliate sites. I will start the project next year to be able to go live next year and then post weekly on a regular basis. I myself have the problem and would like to solve my own problem through this affiliate site. My goal with this project is to gain experience and a monthly continuous income of 100-500€ next year. My main goal is to gain experience in SEO and web design.

3. my next project is that I finally want to successfully offer online marketing services /webdesign services myself. So far I have offered webdesign. However, I see the problem that I am bad in design and so far have little success with client acquisition and therefore prefer to have a business model where I have a recurring income and only once have to worry about client acquisition. I was thinking about a complete package for real estate agents with website, Local Seo, Google Ads and Facebook Ads for a monthly flat rate. But first I have to think about who I can help and what I can do for them. Then I have to improve my web skills and take care of clients.

4. local lead generation I find a very interesting business model. Especially building SEO sites that generate leads for small-medium cities and then sell those leads on. However, I see the problem that I have to be careful not to violate German data protection laws by passing address data to third parties. In any case, this is something I will investigate more closely.

5 I still have a few courses and books that I have already bought but have not worked through. I want to work through them in the next 4 months.
