Hello everyone,
This is Ninja here, and I'm excited to start my first thread. I'm not entirely sure if this is the right place for me, as I'm feeling pretty lost right now. I was talking to @Andy Black , and he suggested I share what's going on with me here in the hopes of getting some help.
To give you a quick summary of my life so far, I was a self-employed tour guide for almost six years. I loved this job because I enjoy meeting new people, making friends, and having conversations. However, I'm not sure if I would make a good salesperson, as the thought of it gives me anxiety.
After my tour guide gig, I taught myself copywriting when I got a new job and had to reinvent myself. I felt like an imposter since I had no formal training and had to learn on the job. Despite this, I did well in some product launches and even sold six figures in the company I worked for.
I became a copywriter for the financial niche and dabbled in crypto on the side. I spent a year studying crypto and eventually got a full-time job in a crypto marketing agency. Unfortunately, when the bear market hit crypto, the agency lost a lot of clients, and I was burned out. I quit my job last November.
Initially, I wasn't too worried since I've always been able to get jobs quickly and had recruiters reaching out to me. However, this time was different. I became really down and sad and started doubting my abilities, even though I had no formal training in marketing.
I started seeing people on LinkedIn betting heavily on personal branding and creating content. I explored more Twitter users who grew their audiences and sold digital products. I also started looking into the newsletter business and even started a newsletter and wrote a Medium article to add to my writing portfolio.
Now I feel overwhelmed, as I see AI coming for writers. Yet, I'm more comfortable as a content writer than a copywriter. I realize that I need to study copywriting again, learn SEO to get a content writer job, and figure out personal branding to create opportunities for myself on LinkedIn and Twitter.
I'm feeling completely lost about what to do with my life since I quit crypto. Yet, I need a job again as it's taking a toll on my self-esteem. I'm considering focusing on writing online, sharing my journey, and figuring out ways to add value. Then, I can move towards creating a digital product to sell or doing ghostwriting.
I've seen some freelance writers making 30K a month ghostwriting for founders on Twitter, but those are rare. The majority may make 5K or 10K. I feel lost right now since I want to leave crypto behind, but it took me a year to study and get into the space, and another year to work in a crypto marketing agency.
As I'm trying to reinvent myself, I'm thinking about my current skill: writing. Please don't judge me based on the way I've been writing here. My style is much more conversational and relatable when I write a newsletter or Medium article.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story, and I appreciate any advice you may have.
P.S.: I see crypto people rebranding their careers to AI or even startup world.
Another thing...I know MJ talks about how no one cares what we like...technically I like personal development stuff..that would be something I would love to work with. But, I don't know your thoughts..you can say this self-help industry is bad and doesn't make money and is a bunch of scammers too HAHHA
