What Did I Learn?

What did I learn? Looks like a very interesting title but this story won't be about what I learned in my whole life. It’s about a 2 months process I experienced.

About 6 months ago I watched a video named “How to become a millionaire without work” that I saw on my flow.

The video was like:

Go to … this website, click here and their buuuum! you earned money.

And I tried then guess what? it didn’t work. But this didn’t make me stop. I watched other videos again and again for 1 month but nothing changed.

After 1 month, I stopped watching these videos because I understood that all of them were clickbait.

This time I wanted to try E-commerce. First I tried Etsy. But there was a problem — I had no money. Therefore I was selling print-on-demand products. I created 50 products and put them in my store but nobody bought one. And this costed me 5.30$.

Then I tried print-on-demand sites instead of e-commerce sites. A print-on-demand site made me earn 3 dollars in 2 days but then it suspended my account without any reason.

And I stopped there…

So, What Did I Learn?

  1. The easiest way to earn money is working.
  2. It would be better start a business with money.
  3. Don’t believe YouTubers :)
  4. Many marketing methods by experiencing
  5. Using Canva.
  6. Creating videos on Youtube(So I learned video editing).
  7. Content creation
  8. Advertising — Google Ads
  9. WordPress — CMS

And more…

In the end, I don’t regret it. 🙋‍♂️
