If it don’t make money it don’t make sense

Do one job well...

I have zero income too. For now. Find ways to make money. Use your skills and apply them to people that can use them. What problems can you solve for people that will pay you?

I understand where you are coming from as I was in the same boat in the past. First thing first is to get a job in the area of your expertise. Once you do that, you can choose one side hustle to do in your spare time and keep on doing it until you start making more money from it than your actual job.

It's easier said than done but then nothing is easy in life. All the very best

Watch an Alex Hormosi video today that had me immediately rethinking my approach too.

He basically said focus on one service or product until you’re successful. After that you can diversify your interests and income. Pick one and go all in

Getting work should be #1 priority.

And work on your side hustles on the side.

Making money independently can take a long time but very rewarding.

Be patient.

When I started, I worked at a nightclub from 9pm to 3am a night 3-4 days a week doing lights. I worked remotely doing some dumb search engine evaluator gig. Did that while working at the club. I drove home at 3am, woke up at 930am, hit the gym, and from 12 onwards I split my time between building my startup, taking more courses, and building my digital agency and web hosting company. At one point I was taking a growth hormone secretelogue just to increase my rem sleep so I could get by with less sleep. It was mental.

The nightclub and search work paid the rent and living expenses somewhat. The digital agency got clients with fast turn around, making websites, that allowed me to build the team and the product for my SaaS startup. 1-2 year later I didn't need the nightclub or that ghetto search gig. Made all my income from clients. At that point I'd sometimes spend 1 week or 2 to grind out one client after another. Giving me a few months runway to only focus on bootstrapping the startup, going to pitches etc. There were times it was tight, there were times with a huge windfall. The lows were low the highs however were extreme- that's what kept me going. Chasing that high of a win. No matter how shit your mental is or how alone you feel, it'll all be worth it if you persevere and give yourself a chance.

It wasn't easy, I collapsed a few times. My mental health was rough, I even turned to this sub and posted a huge vent many years ago. It's part of the journey brother, just try and enjoy this part of the timeline.

Ultimately what I'm trying to tell you is to focus on something that can make you quick money while not compromising your availability and focus on what you want to build. I went down the agency building route to help bootstrap the business that was pre revenue. Have at least a rough 1/3/5 year plan of where you want to be. Ultimately the hardest part will be keeping yourself accountable. Good luck!

Get a job. If you can't figure that out on your own, you have no hope in life.

Focus

'Jack of All Trades, Master of None'. Just because your working on multiple things at once doesn’t mean you will make money. In this world you get paid by being extremely good at a single thing. Pick one and step your game up man.

First of all get a small sort of job that doesnt take much effort and is part time.,that pays bills and meanwhile in your extra time focus on your projects.reduce your projects to 2 or 1 even.

GET A JOB

This is what happens when you take TikTok advice for real lmao.

Focus on the profitable endeavour I had this problem some years ago, focus first on making consistent income to sustain yourself, then work on the side project that requires the smallest investment with a consistent return.

So you’ve started a development career and have some publishing assets. Nothing crazy but you’ve got things started!

Hmu. We do this for a living. I can consult for you and/or monetize your assets with our partners.

Set targets / goals.

What are you actually working towards? You have some great skills, but you're trying to spread yourself thin way too quickly.

Work on one area, create a consistent income, then move to the next once you've found a way to make the first more automated / find someone to take over the execution whilst you make a margin.

There's no point doing lots of things if you're not gaining anything from any one area.
