Use those skills listed to make money. Do a YT channel on programming or something … go get a programming job…. Start a programming business

Pick one thing and put all effort into it until it starts paying. If it doesn’t start paying in a reasonable amount of time test ONE new thing. Repeat.

Do you have a portfolio? Get out there and try to find programming work.

dropship

Get a job

Get a schedule and a therapist Create a schedule for your businesses and create a plan

First look after yourself Second no need to invent new thing, give the market what it wants

Focus on ONE project, one path to bring income in…or get a w2 job for a while until you can start working on your own again.

It’s the argument about the jack of all trades. Make money first, add extra stuff later.

What are you trying to do? What’s the service?

Social media businesses like these are brutal. I would do something more lucrative.

There’s so much $ out there, just need to know how to go get it.

Or go get a job.

Stick to one thing and master it, and it shouldnt only be financially viable but also interest you personally, makes things way easier. If you learn new skills every couple of days or can‘t concentrate on one topic without rushing to the next, maybe get tested for ADD/ADHD?

a service based business that doesnt require money, i just get a job until you get roughly 6 months of savings you can live off

You didn’t say anything relevant to making any money you just listed random projects. No shit you have 0 income. Get a job and pursue one project only in parallel.

Get a job and once you have money to pay me, pay me to take over one of the yt channels, profit will go up, we will be drinking margaritas in Bali this time next year brother

Find freelancing or part time work so you can also focus on your other projects but also have some income

Make a list of most likely to succeed projects at the top and start knocking them out.

My thing on YouTube and social media is it brings in minimal value to the world. There is no barrier of entry as well. Do people make it of course, but you have to be the most creative and best marker there is. So they actually work 10x harder than painters, hvac techs, programmers, IT, etc. So I would recommend trying to find something in the programming space.

I'm in the same boat, but I'm aware I have to cut down what I do. I want to do too much lol

Step 1 SPEED. get your project to a presentable state as fast as possible.
Get stakeholder feedback and iterate quickly

Use chatgpt to compliment and accelerate your programming. I was ready to learn Arduino as my first language for an industrial automation project. Someone suggested feeding logic to chatgpt to have it write the code. It took what would have been months of learning and troubleshooting down to about 9 hours of work.

Why do you have 0 income? I would think you started these ventures in order to get some income...maybe explain why no income is coming in..so that fellow (solo) entrepreneurs can give some insightful advice. Maybe you sitting on a gold mine - but do no know how to unlock it....

Sounds like you jump around too quickly. I used to do that too. Focus on the most promising project until it cashflows.

Don’t fall into the myopic theme here of choosing “one thing” and “sticking to it.” Every small business requires a diverse skill set that will tap into all of your core beliefs and practical skills.

You will 100% need to rely on your core competency, but like any human our competency isn’t a narrow “one thing” that is best to stick to with intense tunnel vision.

Instead, prioritize the project that best matches your current core competencies. Develop a plan that executes on these competencies and create a schedule with short, medium, and long term goals. Stick to your milestones and celebrate each of your accomplishments.

Stoke the flames of your other personal interests in your down time; run with ALL your good ideas until you find a favorite. By the time you realize what’s happening you will have already found your “one thing” without being restricted by needless worrying about what “one thing to do.

Get a job so you can eat and sleep indoors, then work on getting your mental health under control? Seems pretty straightforward. You might have to put your projects on hold while you get that handled, but it's not like you'll get much done on them anyway as long as your health and finances are a mess.

Start looking for jobs on LinkedIn. It works every time. Start small, grow slowly.

I would get a job to help you pay your bills. Cut your projects down to 1 and really dive into it with your heart and focus. You're spreading yourself too thin and feeling no growth or accomplishment which is whats impacting your mental health.

Good Luck!

Don't have ass two things, whole ass one thing

Why did you learn programing? You're entrepreneur, not programmer.

Do no code if you need and promise yourself to never ever give it up, even if you're bankrupt.

If you are good with reading, it’s worth checking out “The ONE Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth About Extraordinary Results”.

You can probably have ChatGPT give you the cliff notes on actionable steps if you are a TL:DR person. Though, there is also similar and good advice by others in this thread.

You should sell a course on how to make money.

Hey 👋

I'm in the same situation as you. I'm in a country where my kind job in the market is rare to find to work. Stay strong, and let's connect

Get a job.

I was in a somewhat similar situation until recently, my MRR from selling cloud cost optimization products was around $300 and very hard to grow no matter what I tried.

I got out of it as soon as I realized that services (including a job, freelancing or even driving Uber) are much easier to sell than products.

The quality expectations per dollar for services are also much lower, so it's much easier to make a living out of it. Products are more scalable but way harder to sell.

I'm currently doing freelance work on someone else's product for 3-4h/day, and for the rest of the time I offer my own freelance cloud optimization services and building tooling to accelerate them, but no longer trying to make a living out of the tooling.

My tooling MRR has since increased to about $800, and my part time services are $7-8k, more than enough to pay my bills, and just got a couple of new cost optimization gigs that will add up ~5k on top of that.

I am in the same spot.

Actually I'm enhancing my portfolio to get a job in programming, and I only do YT video (really just starting) about my portfolio's project. After that I hope that the project could generate money over time, along YouTube. (it could, but can I build it good ?)

I don't have a lot of money, but I hope to get a dev job, even a bad paid one, soon.

I've send few proposals for some jobs in my area, all said that I should have a portfolio (Projects to prove my knowledge), that's why I'm building it.

All these things are really difficult. The only hope you have of succeeding at a difficult thing is to focus all your efforts and resources on a single point.

My company solves one very specific problem from a very specific type of person. We have focused on nothing but that for 5 years and have now become the absolute best at it. That is the only way I know to be successful.

What are your social accounts targeted at? You could try selling them to focus down your projects or market content on them to get some cash flow

Get a part time job. Having income will make your feel better emotionally. Build up your savings.

Then take 1hr to do serious analysis of your projects. Which one is performing the best? Which has most product market fit? Which will get your closer to your goals? (Your goals are basically either cash flow now or delay cash flow to build something bigger). Which do you think you'll have most success in? Then pick one and go all in. Sell the other projects or just pause them. Set goals for the project you choose to go all in on. Don't quit until you log 12 months. Assess your progress. Repeat.

Be careful and don’t become a jack of all trades but a master in nothing. Try getting a job in something you enjoy to pay bills and learn more about it. Take some time off from your projects (no more than 6 months) and practice for 15 minutes a day something you want to get better at

Spreading yourself too thin. Focus on one thing and do it well.

Time to read Can't hurt me by David Goggins.

Can you share your yt projects? Maybe some more experienced people can give you some tips to improve.

Think in terms of business stack.

1. Traffic

- Instagram: Are you interacting? Do you even have a plan how someone in instagram will close a sale/buy your app?

- YouTube

- Same thing.

2. Sales

- How are you engaging with your public in the platforms you choose? Are they the target audience for your product? What topics/niches are you talking about?

- Are you being persuasive, building trust, actually offering value? Do they even know at all you have something to sell?

3. Product (Logic also applies to any kind of affiliate marketing offer)

- You didn't even mention if you have something published with that dev account.

All you told us so far is a bunch of different tools, it's like trying to sell cakes and what you told us "I have those ingredients at home with unspecified quantities, I have instagram and youtube. Why I'm not selling cakes?"

Look into white label SAAS. Its your type of work

step 1, get a job, just anything that pays the bills and allows for some time to develop your own projects.

step 2- cut your projects down to 1, focus

step 3 - timeblock and set focused times to specifically make measurable incremental progress. keep focused.
