It's a kind of savings account but you can only withdraw your funds after a certain period of time. It's like lending money to a bank.
That's a good idea. I'm into blogging, websites too. Instead of just domains, I would prefer acquiring blogs or maybe SaaS/tools website that are monetized and generation a few hundreds maybe.
But I went to flippa and the listed websites are shit. Most of them don't seem to be valuable at all and the content in there doesn't make any sense.
Would you recommend any other marketplace or community where I can find better listings?
That's awesome to hear man.
Are you comfortable to tell about what business you are doing?
For views for sure.
Are they fake? No, but they are not doing any of the business by themselves. So they cannot provide you strategies that work for the businesses they are talking about.
Are they helpful. Maybe yes. Because whatever they are saying, a lot of people are making good grands from it.
But the trick is that you need to pick a business model and dig deep into it. Internet is changing so fast so you have to experiment with different strategies and find the one that works for you / your business.
Two years ago, I dropped myself from uni in the mid 3rd semester as I had the same thoughts as you. I learned more things in 1 year by myself more efficiently than I could have learned in 4 years degree.
I am doing full time freelancing now. I am proud of myself to take such a risky and life-changing decision.
That's a dumb way to die starving.
