Continuing the business discussion...

[PLEX]

Everyone is welcome, but again, this is mainly for my business minded fam. But I am hoping that we can begin to change the mindset of a few naysayers as well. I've been checking out different business opportunities online, just checking out things we can do. I've found several, but I'm never one to sit on things and just keep them to myself if something can be of help to anyone else. And before any skeptics jump in, what I'm about to talk about will not put one cent into my pocket. I'm just in the process of trying to come up, and I wanna see others do the same.

I recently found out that Warren Buffet started his growth toward the 72 billion dollar empire that would make him the second richest man in America with a single pinball machine. He bought one and placed it in a barbershop. He never spent any of the profits. He continued working and let that money grow. When he had enough (about a month later) he bought a second and placed it in another barbershop. He continued that same flip over and over; never spending any of the profits, just letting it stack until he could venture into other things. That's really something to seriously think about.

Now I want you guys to think about the "penny a day doubled for 30 days vs. 1 million dollars for a month" riddle. That's basically the same principle Buffet used, and when you look at it that way, it's pretty easy to see why he amassed so much wealth. I've been watching this channel called GoldenGato on YouTube. The guy has all sorts of work-at-home business opportunities and hustles. All of em appear to be pretty easy and doable. It's just a matter of choice. But the one I found tonight, I just had to come and share, because I've really been kinda sick thinking about how well we could all be doing had we jumped on the Bitcoin bandwagon in 2010. $100 into 2 million in 7 years... F*CK!!! Then I think about the fact that the only BGOL member I know of that really made any major moves was Chamillionaire. And he's jumped from the rap game to the tech game. I also get sick thinking about the lottery game I created that was stolen by the Louisiana Lotto Corp, and I just get mad all the time now. I had been dealing with it pretty well, until my Dad passed in December.

Anyway, the name of this vid is 'How to make $100 a day by Creating Apps'. At about the 4 minute mark he said something that clicked with me. He shows this site called Flippa, and they have apps and stuff already made that you can purchase from the owners. Some are auctioned off, but others you can buy for really low prices. He said how you can buy an app and it make $5 per day, which isn't much, but at the end of a month it's $150. I thought to myself that isn't too bad, I could use it to pay a bill and that'll help out. But then he said, you could use that money to buy a second app, and then you'd be making $10 per day (or $300 per month). Then it hit me, the Warren Buffet strategy.

Do you see where I'm going with this guys? Again, this makes me not one penny, I'm just sharing. And that might seem strange enough, but I swear that's just the type of person I am. I plan on doing this myself anyway. I just can't afford to go there at this second. At the same time, I'm not gonna hold onto the info because I can't immediately do it. Also, any of you may stumble upon a way to make it work better or faster, and I'm praying share your intel with the fam. If you think about starting with one app (like that first pinball machine) and letting the money stack, then using that to get a second, and a third, and so forth. This is how you make that penny a day riddle come true. And all it would ever cost you outta pocket is that initial purchase of the first app.

Keep working your 9-5, and live as if that doesn't exist. Considering the double up, earning $ per day, after 12 months it should look like this:
Buy 1 app = $150 per month (Month 1)
Buy 1 app = 2 apps = $300
Buy 2 apps = 4 apps = $600 (Month 3)
Buy 4 apps = 8 apps = $1,200
Buy 8 apps = 16 apps = $2,400
Buy 16 apps = 32 apps = $4,800 (Month 6)
Buy 32 apps = 64 apps = 9,600 (Month 7 you will have moved into the 6 figure per year tax bracket)
Buy 64 apps = 128 apps = $19,200
Buy 128 apps = 256 apps = $38,400 (Month 9)
Buy 256 apps = 512 apps = $78,150
Buy 512 apps = 1,024 apps = $153,600 (Month 11 - you will have earned $308,400 for the year)
Buy 1,024 apps = 2,048 apps = $307,200 (Month 12)

This is considering your apps all make at least $5 per day, which as the guy describes in the vid is a very low amount. Some will make more, but let's use $5 to make it understandable. I etched it out that way because sometimes seeing it written out helps (me at least). Those figures are monthly summations. I'm thinking that by month 6 you should be able to quit your 9-5, although I wouldn't do that until month 14, at which point you will have earned your first mill and then some; and own at that point will be earning you $3,686,400 per year. You wouldn't even have to keep buying apps at that point, and will hopefully have begun buying and selling real estate, or a franchise, or both.

If any of you are in a position to do it twice over from jump I would. Matter of fact, I would do that in month 2. Month 1 should be the test to know if it's really gonna pan out. But when I'm ready to do it, I plan on getting my wife to do it too. Then we will get our three sons to do the same thing at the same time. For one that will give them their own money rather them coming with their hands out, LOL. Remember, this isn't something you have to do, I'm just sharing what I think is an opportunity. Please refrain from any hate and niggativity. Also, look around the GoldenGato's page at the other opportunities. He has several with writing jobs that I know I'll look into. He has one I haven't watched yet that says you can make $5 per day from a music app. There's just a lot we can be doing that will enable and more importantly empower us to be in much better positions. And he doesn't even charge for his advice as far as I've seen. But he has a gang of views, so I imagine he's getting a decent check from YouTube.

Even if you only use his (or anyone else's) tips as a way to earn supplemental income, it'll free up other money so you can do so much more. I also suggest anyone who isn't up on Dr. Boyce Watkins to watch his channel. He gives out a wealth of info, and just makes you think. The video he shared today was about how we waste money on luxuries which keeps us poor. On average we spend 60% of our income on bills and necessities, and 40% on bullshit. Anyway, browse around, the opportunities are there. The channel I suggested is far from the only one giving out info.

Whatever you do fam... find your pinball machine.

I'm just gonna continue posting opportunities in this thread so that hopefully some of you guys can find something that suits you and enhances your quality of life. I'll mainly be posting opportunities that are free to get started. The only way I'll post a paid one is if it's just that gangsta. Feel free to add any you stumble upon, as there has to be many I'm missing myself. 100

This first one says that you can earn up to $33 per hour just listening to music, and writing reviews in some cases.

Earn money watching videos:

This one says you can earn $30 per hour watching vids online, and seems a bit easier (in my opinion) than the one above.

$30,000 per month on Amazon with Affiliate Marketing. I like this guy's vids. He explains everything he says so that you can get it. On a side note with this vid, he shows how you can make vids doing reviews on stuff and how that will grow your traffic. He shows a guy that just reviews any and everything, and of course posts a link to that item under his vid. Those affiliate links are something anyone can get, and you earn a commission from places from every person that clicks your link and buys that item. I saw a vid recently that says almost every online store has that feature, from Best Buy to Wal-Mart. Now you don't have to do vids for everything. If you have a decent social media following, you can just post links and still get that commission off anyone who buys using your link. SO when you see something you know is popular on sale (say on a Sunday), you can post a link and see what kinda bite you get.

One way I would suggest pulling it off is in online garage sales on FB. In New Orleans, there's about 6 groups like that on FB, with well over 10,000 members in each group. I would imagine it's similar everywhere else. That'll make it easier to get people to check stuff out than just posting it on your personal page.

Just wanted to add these two vids by Dr. Boyce Watkins. I feel it's important we begin thinking this way. I just think about the fact that I've been paying gouged rent since Katrina. We moved from an apartment to a house in June 2008 (but still renting), and began paying $1,200 per month. We had to move away from there in January 2016, but found another house in April of 2016, and now pay $1,000 per month. This hasn't included any utilities since 2008. That's $127,200 of rent that we've paid out and don't own anything. A house note (on a decent home), is between $600-$800, and at least in the end you own it, or at least earn equity in the event you get int a jam and need to borrow some money. I know many of us are doing it that way, and we never think about the totality of the monies we spend because it goes out in monthly increments. Another bad habit both my wife and I have are cigarettes. We generally get a pack a piece everyday since Katrina in2005. I've just recently forced her to join me in stretching each pack out over two days for financial as well as health reasons, until we can quit. Even if it was one pack per day, and two packs every other day, that's another $32,000 we've blown. Can you imagine how much better off we'd have been had we invested even half of that $159,000 we've wasted over the last 12 years.

I'm hoping my mistake can be a wake up call to even one other person. Looking at things in totality is what helped me when I sold AT&T door-to-door in 2014. No one seemed to realize how much money they were wasting on cable because they pay in monthly increments. $200 per month (I've even talked to people paying over $400 monthly) didn't seem that bad to em. But once you show em the fact that they're paying $2,400 per year, which will be $24,000 over 10 years, they were willing to talk; and many switched plans. There's so much more we can do with our money if we enact the proper mindset and commit it to habit. Everyone of us has more than we imagine. How many of you throw change on the dresser every evening, and have been surprised by how much they have after a while? I've done it many times. So one thing I'm about to start doing is being intentional about it again, as a friend suggested to me a few years back. I fell outta practice because my youngest son used to loot dafuq outta my change jar. I gotta get another strongbox.

So I wanna pose a Change Challenge. More than one meaning. Change the way we think, and saving those pennies, nickles, dimes, and quarters. Take the time to consciously save every coin you have each day, and watch how that adds up by the end of a week, month, and year. When I did it before I had saved about $1,200 in one year. I say about because it was a lot more, but like I said my son used to get at the silver like whoa. But we have to be intentional about it. You're not allowed to spend any coins, only bills. If an item you're buying costs $7.27, and you happen to have .27 in your pocket, you have to add an eighth dollar and break it. You'd be surprised how many days you'll be adding nearly $10 in coins to your savings. Now of course if you do it for a whole year, it'll be too heavy to carry to the bank. So what I suggest is starting a separate savings account, and at the end of a week or month, go and deposit it. If you have a significant other, it'll be great to get them to do the same. This also stops you from blowing more money than you should, because it makes you conscious of your spending habits.

Also fam, couponing. I'm not really up on the particulars of it. But my Goddaughter does it everyday, and saves ridiculous money. Plus she bundles up items and sells them in the FB garage sale group. My wife did it for a while before our car broke last year. Her biggest haul was over 100 bottles of Gain dishwashing liquid for about $20. That was May of 2016, and we still haven't run out. It's honestly something we should all be into. My Goddaughter spends about $200 per month on all of her groceries, and I'm talking over $1,000 worth of purchases. Then she sells bundles and makes a couple hundred weekly. So she's all the way in the black. I just haven't been able to get her to see the sense in working toward buying a house rather than moving into another rental. She needs to move because her apartment is not nearly big enough to house everything she gets. So she's looking at houses to rent. She's young though, so she doesn't really save like she should, because I feel like she should be saving all of her bundle earnings. I guess she'll listen one day. But anyway, please check out the vids. They will definitely make you think.

This one is about making money on instagram, and I can't stress enough how important this can be. I really wish I had saved the vid I watched last week about how much people earn on instagram. It's bananas. This vid shows a step by step way to get started. But if you build a really big following, instagram will earn you money while you sleep. I'll try to find that vid and edit it into this post if I can.

Couldn't find the instagram vid I saw last week, but this one is pretty good. Dude breaks down a formula to make your first $10,000. This also sparked a thought. I don't if any of you are good at building a large following on social media. I mean one with genuine independent views, not paid for views. But if you can become so, you can leverage those accounts. I remember when Call of Duty 4 was out, I made my way to #14 in the world outta 10 million people, and #7 in the world on Fight Night Round 3. Not to brag at all, that's actually irrelevant and I wasted precious time f*ckin with the game. I'm only making that point because so many people offered me ridiculous amounts of money to buy my account. At the time, I was making about $500-$600 per week hustling CD's and movies, with about 12 hours of actual work, so I didn't care about the money they were offering. Plus, I was doing things with my music and making contacts that I expected would pan out soon enough. So I was cocky about it, and turned down down every offer. Those offered ranged everywhere from $100- $5,000 for a game account, and I didn't give it up. People even offered me to raise their accounts, but of course that would've taken precious time from raising my own, so I turned that down too. I could kick myself in the ass for that dumb shit. Hindsight always 20/20.

Anyway, that just shows how people are willing to pay for popular accounts, or the ability to have their own account increased in popularity. If you already know how, or after you've learned to, you can leverage that hustle. This is not to mention how once you have a large following of your own, you can leverage shout-outs of other people's pages. Hell Riddick Bowe was charging $25 on twitter to tweet out anything you wanted. When twitter first started I gained over 2,600 followers in 2 weeks jut pot bullshit opinions and comments. I got bored with it, and stopped really going on there, so I lost a good bit. But I still have like 1,200 followers and I may have made 5 posts on there in the last three years. So you can build yourself up with a constant presence. Just remember, work hard now, so you can play later. Another reason I picked this vid to post is that the guy mentions and quotes Warren Buffet, even though he seems to think he's dead.

 

[PLEX]

This guy breaks down 5 ways to make money on instagram. He's got a bunch of other good vids, such as how to grow your followers, so he's definitely worth a look. Just like I mentioned above, he talks about selling shout-outs. But he talks about how companies will actually contact you and pay anywhere from $100-$100,000 per post if you're a heavy enough influencer. So fam, I think it's really important to build ourselves an instagram presence. He also mentions the teespring hustle, and I think I touched on that in another thread. But no matter, I definitely wanna mention it again. You can't lose with this one. It costs you $0 to get started, and all you have to do is make shirt designs. The more you make, the more your chances of selling a bunch. If you get 10-20 designs out there, and move only 10 shirts per week, that's an extra $100 per week/$5,200 per year. We should all be doing this just on the strength it's free to do, and we can still earn money. Remember, the guy who made the smiley face t-shirt is a millionaire. When you're on FB and those ads pop up with a shirt that has your family name on it, or your first name, those are shirts that someone designed, and the algorithm has sought you out. I'm quite sure they move 10 of those per week, because they've made em with damn near every first and last name in the world like a damn Coke bottle. Bruh, my sister can't stand Coke, but she bought one cause she was in the store and saw her name on it. WTF?!!!

Think about the various bullshit you can put on a shirt that people will buy. Look how many 'Don't Let Your President Get Your Ass Whooped' have sold. Remember 'Life's A Beach' shirts. I'm just gonna throw some random statements out that can go on shirts, and this is just to show what can be done:

I Don't Have To Be Cute... I'm Rich
What's Mine Is Hers, And What's Hers Is Hers (<---Trust me simps will buy that)
Please Whip Your Kids Before They Grow Up And Rob Mine
That Smell Isn't Coming From Me

These are just some ideas guys. And feel free to use any of em if you find em comical. But I'm hoping they'll at least spark you to think of a few things to put on shirts and sell. My nephew just started a t-shirt line independently with the name of our city on it and one other word. I don't wanna put that on here. But he's made a nice amount of money. He sells it all different colors, so he can make multiple sales to some people. The problem I see there, is the city we live in is just a sub-city of New Orleans, so there's a limited amount of people. And it's mainly gonna sell to black people. I've asked him what he plans to do next, and even showed him those sites that will put your designs on shoes, bags, and all kinda other stuff. He seemed excited at first, but just stuck with the shirts. I don't get that, other than to say I was his age once and thought I knew it all too. And fam remember, the title every song that comes out is another t-shirt. As a matter of fact, many songs can be broken down line by line into t-shirts, especially with a damn hashtag in front of it. Look at: #Be Humble, #Work, #You Ugly... You Your Daddy Son (<-- I guarantee that would've sold a few thousand), #Idols Become Rivals. It's endless fam. You can browse FB, and add 5-10 new t-shirt ideas to your account daily. Just think, you sell 100 shirts in a week, and you've made over $1,000... with 0 (ZERO) overhead. You don't have to deal with anyone, purchase or manufacture anything.

What I personally wanna see, and hear about, is member after member of the BGOL fam posting that they've eliminated bills. When I say eliminate, I mean that something other than the sweat off your back at a 9-5 is covering your expenses. When you find a hustle that covers your phone bill, then your monthly gas, your car note, car insurance, life insurance (which we all should have; don't trip even I'm slipping there), light bill, miscellaneous household products, monthly food, your monthly rent, etc., let us know. Share your progress, and let it serve as inspiration and motivation to the rest of us. Once you eliminate all of your bills, your savings will have increased. Then you can do like Boyce Watkins suggests in that vid and put a down payment on a house you own.

Just start with that first bill. Eliminate your cell phone bill, and go/grow from there. Bill by bill, and I promise you won't be sorry.

So I watched the vid and it all sounds fine and dandy but NO WHERE in it does it tell you where to get the traffic to make the $5 a day. That why when I posted my thread to biz owner I asked also how did you get your first customer. I like the thread OP and these things sound great until your the one tryna find a customer and begging your friends and family get stale at some point.

I feel where you're coming from fam. That's why I've been posting so many ideas and opportunities, so that everyone (who's interested) can possibly find one that will suit them. As far as friends and family, stay away from em... when it comes to business. I can't point out what it is, but from the way it sounds, you may just be surrounded by people that don't wanna see you make it. One of my best friends comes from a family like that. We used to rap together, and man you wouldn't believe the sabotage they used to throw at him. Never came to even one show, always wanted a free copy of the new music, wouldn't put in a single call to the radio station to request songs... just plain fuqery. If you looked through everything I've posted, I broke down a few ways to get going. It's all about putting yourself in the proper position. The easiest thing is social media. That puts you in front of literally millions of people. The videos I shared, and many others online show how to build your follower base.

You look at a business like the teespring t-shirt thing, and it's kinda hard to miss. I mean a blind man could bullseye that shit. It's 100% free to start, all you have to do is upload designs. Plenty of people are making nice money doing that. I literally get offers everyday of some new shirt, and during the winter it was hoodies as well. They've offered me shirts with my first and last name on it. Not only that, the algorithm must search thru your family members, because it's shown me offers for shirts with my wife's first and maiden names, and my mother's name (like gift ideas I suppose). If your goal is to sell 100 shirts per week ($1,000 weekly), but you can't move that many of one design, then by all means keep designing until you have 100 shirts so you can sell one of each weekly, and still get that $1,000. It's a free business. Nothing beats a failure but a try. Hell you might jump into that business and be a damn t-shirt guru by this time next year. Break the mold and everybody look to you to find out how the hell you did it.

My point is just to try something, as many things as possible until you find something that works. Find your pinball machine. This is especially when it comes to free businesses/ways to make money. I don't care if all you make is $50 a day from the comfort of your home. That's 100% better than earning it on someone's job, making them rich-er. Let's start building ourselves some wealth, buying some land, producing some jobs, creating legacies which we can leave behind. Remember, don't get discouraged if you can't get rich by next week. Just get started eliminating those bills one by one. And join in own the Change Challenge. See how you looking after one week, one month, six months, and one year. Every rich person I've talked to or watched says that they miss the grind they endured getting to where they are, because once you're there, it's just not as fun. Sure you'll be able to do a lotta things, but how long can that be fun. The financial security of it will be awesome, but you will never again be the person you once were. So while it may be frustrating finding your niche, try to find some enjoyment in your process of becoming successful.

How y'all doing today fam? Just popping in to see what everyone has going on. I'm sincerely praying this thread has been of help to at least one you. I've been thinking even harder about the t-shirt business. There's even more sites than teespring offering that risk-free startup. I'm posting all the ones I've found. Let's make this happen fam. And post up your results. As I said earlier, I wanna hear about when you eliminate a bill. But listening to some of these stories, I'm really looking forward to someone on here having a 5 figure first week. There's multiple people doing that. Let's get a move on guys. If anyone can tell me what we've got to lose with this one, I'm all ears. I also added a link to some random quotes for ideas that can be put on shirts.

Also, let's not forget that whatever t-shirts you sell, you can double back when the weather gets cooler and throw those designs on hoodies. And take advantage of play on words type of slogans for your shirts. And borrow as much from famous stuff as you can without treading on infringement. Like you can't make a 'Game of Thrones' shirt, but you can definitely do a 'Winter Is Coming' shirt. You can't make a 'Walking Dead' shirt, but you can do a 'We Pisson' Our Pants Yet?' shirt, or a 'If Daryl Dies We Riot' Shirt'. Everyone who is a fan of the shows will still know what you mean. And whenever something trends or becomes hashtagable, t-shirt that shit. And one of those sites I linked has mugs, necklaces, and all kinda crap. Some other sites that I'll have to find and link do shoes, sneakers, and boots, like I told my nephew about. That could be massive for the graphic artists we have on BGOL.

I wanna see how many Hundredaires we can make here. Then how many Thousandaires (a term I borrowed from my Solavei days). If we can generate even one Millionaire here, I think we can all be proud.

I figure this 'How to Launch' video from Teespring might be imperative. Only a 16 minute watch. But that 16 minutes might change your life forever.

This guy is a must watch. The kinda designs he's doing make it hard to think his shirts won't sell.

Just a lil inspiration for the fam to keep us motivated. It can happen much faster than you think. The sista in this vid had moved 65 units in less than 12 hours of putting her shirt up. Even at the standard $11 you get from a regular t-shirt, that's $715. But she's selling sweatshirts, so that's more like $29 she gets per unit which equals $1,885. That's guap fam. There's no regular job you can get that's gonna pay you that amount. Hell my homeboy is an electrician and earns $36/hr. on his current job, with a $75/day Per Diem. At the 12 hours he works daily (in the beaming hot sun), that's only $507 per day. Plus he's outta town, and living in a motel, and has to eat, so that Per Diem is used on the daily. So he's really only making the $432 the pay rate gives him. And on days it storms, they get shutdown. Either way, even with only t-shirts, she's still outnumbering him... from the comfort of her own home, probably in bed binge watching some series. She might even be chilling at the movie theater or something while the money is working for her. Look at the tiny amount she spent on FB ads, and think about if she'd spent more. Keep brainstorming fam.

Just some ideas. Kinda like what I said yesterday. It's too easy to come up with different ideas.

Just like the chick in the video yall sound in sync. (Im talkin to you OP as well). Ive seen TWO of her videos and they both are titled how to go viral on teespring but ZERO info on how to actually do it. Im beginning to think the internet is made up of people who sell you on the idea of making money but NO ONE absolutely makes any at all. Unless your selling to someone else on how to make money.

and PLEX im starting to think your in on it too. Im thinking this post maybe a set up to a ebook or youtube video that will lead us to the "magic" way you hit it big or went viral. But you will have this post to "sell" people on and you will tell us which one of these way you did it, once we by said course or book. Cuz all the marketing sounds the same, and im a marketer. Tell a story, tell people they can do it, add up a multiplied income. Tell the audience have they (ever made this amount of money or say what could you do with this amount of money) then lead them to the selling of a course or ebook. So like I said all this shit is fine and dandy but in SEVENTEEN posts in this thread of yours you never mention obtaining customers, lead generation, its just try this idea one after another. I can buy as many apps, websites, shirts or even pinball machines but if no one if there to play $0.00 a day still multiplies to $0.00 per day.

So lemme get this straight. Even though no one else had any problems understanding what I've shared in this thread, because you do, I'm a part some big, huge, nationwide conspiracy that doesn't want you and only you in particular, to know how to get the first customer? There is no conspiracy bruh. You're being extremely paranoid.

I don't know what your problem is... at all. I'm just throwing out ideas that people on here can use, or NOT. Why that's a crime, I'll never understand. There's no obligation, and it's not like I'll collect some magical commission off of anyone's sales. In case you're wondering, I don't own any shares in teespring, nor any of the other t-shirt sites I shared. And no, I didn't invent the internet either, so I don't make money from you surfing. You don't have to take any ideas from this thread, that way you can be assured I won't be making any money from you.

I haven't started my t-shirt campaign yet. I only just made a couple designs today. But when I do, I'm not gonna link em here. I'm not gonna do an e-book, or try to get anyone here to buy anything from me. This is just genuine help. Where is it that you live that makes you think everyone is out to get you? You made the same kinda derogatory posts in the thread you started. Why not just ask people for a play-by-play of their gameplan? Seriously though, how much of a gameplan do you need from me? You say you're a marketer, so how is it you don't know where to start?

So when I suggested everyone start saving their loose change daily, that's some kinda plot too, right? I didn't know I was unable to pitch some ideas to other people, for fear of some random cat taking personal offense to it. And what exactly is it that you finally "get" in your last post? Cause before that you haven't gotten much of anything else.

I don't know what your family, friends, and acquaintances have done to you, but you need to break north from round them mofos with the quickness. Cause your glass stay half empty like a nigga with free refills.

Well thing is no one is really IN this thread beside you and me, no one is replying, A few said subs and that it. You would think that everyone would love to earn more so this post would be flooded, not so much huh?

Im not worried about commission or someone making referrals money but the chick video you posted HYPED the hell outta going viral with teespring, but what was the end goal? To take her course/ training session. This is not a indictment on you but most of the links you posted are somewhat the same where the OP wanted the readers/viewers to by there book/course or whatever. OR they had a bunch of comments that said make 5K online by doing this one simple thing. You know the type.

Now what in my thread was derogatory? My thread has business owners talking about how they got started. I did only ask for people that have done it. Not wanna be's or people with suggestions. I wanted DO'ers, nothing negative about that.

Now the reason I made that post was because of the post about dude asking the Chinese lady how to start a biz. Funny thing is in that post me and Megatron X started talking about ways to have passive income. He put me up on a site where I literally MADE MONEY the next day. How come no one in this thread has followed up or shared a similar story? No one person in this thread said "hey I used this and it worked". There are people in the bitcoin/ripple thread that made money, but not a single one here. Does that sound right to you? Its because most of the idea here are, and I hate the term, internet get rich quick schemes. Now I hate that term because people DO make money online by selling shirts, posting IG pics and YT videos. However these videos don't focus on the real way to do that. They only focus on you being the OP's sub or buyer of what the OP is selling. There are people that make money online playing video games. But like with YT, IG and twitter the people that do end up making the money have to build a following of 100k to 500k subs AT LEAST before the see a dime.

Cause before that you haven't gotten much of anything else.

The part I get is when Tall replied with all dots..... like that and a few others did the same it was to say here we go again with this shit. Another how to make 50K while you sleep over the internet posts. Now OP I dont know you, your head and heart is prolly in the right place. You prolly really want members of the board to have a place they can take ideas from in order to better themselves. But people like the chick pushing how to go viral by buying her course doesnt make help anyone it only hurts. I mean honestly you posted the vid did you take away anything you didnt know? Did you not know that People buy shirts online? Did you not know that with teespring you could upload your tshirt idea and make money, if someone buys it? But the whole point in her video was to GO VIRAL, did she tell you how to do it? Nope she didnt.

Now my whole point in if you were going to post your teespring page was a simple one. Why would/should anyone take advice from someone that has no skin in the game. Meaning how can I take advice from you if your not following your own advice. It like When the housing bubble was going on, A LOT of people started becoming motivation speakers, financial planners and "Life coaches". They would get paid to tell someone else how do run their life and what they need to do financially to get ahead. Now why did so many people get into this industry? Simple because with the right angle/hook its easier to tell someone what best for them then actually doing it yourself. Example the 3 keys to financial independence are real estate, owning a business or the stock market. Nothing else, that its, all ways to wealth go through one of those 3. Now which is easier? Me telling you that or me actually buying and selling a stock at a profit, buying, flipping and selling a house or creating a profitable business? Its easier for me to give advice than to actually do something myself. Its like another analogy I used in the biz owners thread. Its hard to take advice on home-ownership from a person who rents and apartment or even a house. It doesn't mean a person renting cant give advice on home ownership but its flawed since they haven't done it. When I brought my first house that happened a LOT everyone wanted to give me tips on searching for a house, what type of loan I should get and everything, but they lived in apartment. So there advice when in one ear and out the other.

Lastly little about me I don't consider it but I have 3 streams of income. I am in no way financially free. I have a normal 9-5, A contract with a few stores for merchandising (1099) and lastly my marketing biz. Now just because Im in marketing doesn't mean I can whip up the best way to get customers off the top of my head. Also I wont even lie im wayyy better at 1 to 1/ brick and mortar based marketing than internet marketing. Its a matter of perspective cuz I have ran campaigns for apps and like I said in the first post just because yo own an app doesn't mean someone is gonna give u $5 A Day.

 

[PLEX]

See man, now you make me feel bad for taking offense to what you were posting before. But why couldn't we just that convo from the gate? I can understand your perspective now... fully. But I'm really not trying to give anyone advice at all. I thought I was being transparent enough here, but maybe explaining some of my story a bit more might make it more understandable why I am how I am.


First off, I don't claim to be any kinda guru. I don't have half the answers, let alone all of em. But I do know a good idea when I see one. And that's all I'm trying to share are ideas, not advice. I just don't wanna hold simple things that people may overlook to myself. I've seen way too many people take ideas and contacts to their graves, and leave others to start over from scratch, when the contacts and/or moves they'd accomplished could've covered 10+ years of ground. You don't see that in other races, at least not as rampantly as ours. And whether we know it or not, that's of major detriment to us.


I look at the overall factor when I’m checking stuff out. I know that regardless of how well I prepare my three sons for the world, they’ll still have to survive within that world with others. And for each of them, there’s probably 10-20 of their peers that won’t be prepared. Their ill-preparation can and will affect my kids regardless of whatever advantages they have from the steps my wife and I have taken. Just like I’ve always known that one day, but recently had to realize, my father no longer being here for me to lean on and have shield me from whatever. And one day, I won’t be here for my kids. That day could be tomorrow. That kinda thing comes into play. I witnessed it firsthand when one night I was out selling CD’s, and I got approached by a cop. He was all set to slam me, take all my stuff, and take me to jail. When he found out my last name (which isn’t common), he asked if I was any relation to someone else he didn’t know personally, but had heard about. I told him that was my Dad. He said that on the strength of having heard (only heard) for years, so many good things about the kinda man my Dad was, he was gonna let me go. All that said, I know I can’t just look out for mine and expect them to be okay. I have to look out for as many as possible.


I still believe that it takes a village. And if you knew me personally, you could see what I’ve done in attempts to look out for others, especially kids in my neighborhood. From free haircuts, martial arts lessons, studio time, burning copies of their projects (provided they bought the blank discs), free cover designs, etc. Sometimes even an introduction goes a long way. In 2011, I saw Chloe and Halle cover a Beyonce song in a video that hadn’t yet gone (but would go) viral. I thought they sounded great, and could use a push in the right direction. I couldn’t do anything personally for em, but I was in contact with people who could. I contacted them, and immediately told them to have their parents contact me. Their Dad did so the next day, and I just told him what I was able to do as far as introductions, and what he needed to do and have them do. A couple e-mails sent, and a year or so later, I saw them in a Disney movie. Now they’re signed to Beyonce, and I never asked for one penny.


I also as a rule, believe in putting out as much good karma as possible. Call me crazy, that’s fine. But especially since my parents have lived in another state, and I can’t always be there, I want as much favor out in the world as possible. That’s even more so true now that it’s just my Mom by herself. A large part of the problem with us has been the idea that the game is to be sold, not told. In some cases that may be true, but that’s also how we’ve lost a lotta ground. Make it sound gangsta/hood, and for damn sure niggas will play party to it like flies to shit. Sometimes we just gotta share some information so that the world can continue to rotate for the rest of us. And whether you believe it or not, that’s all I’m doing in this thread.


I’m not asking for anyone to follow my lead. But I think I might drop an idea in here that might spark something in somebody that can change their life for the better. It’s not about getting rich. It’s about taking steps to make life just a bit easier. Whether that be saving all your daily loose change, or throwing a few words on to a t-shirt. If it puts an extra $100 into someone’s pocket each month, well that’s $1,200 annually that they didn’t have before.
