THE DARK SIDE OF ONLINE BUSINESS

Everyone always talks about their six figures and FREEDOM.

Here is a small thread of what you need to know when you get into this.
1. You Still Need To Do The Bullshit

Until you're making proper money, you need to do everything on your own

- Copywriting
- Marketing
- Sales funnels
- Customer relations

You just can't afford to spend $1k on a copywriter if you make 100 bucks. Simple, right?
2. No, you still NEED to do it

People have a creative idea and want to sell it.

Good.

But how good your content is is UTTERLY irrelevant if nobody sees it.

So despite that, you NEED to learn HOW TO SELL.

This is a basic skill no matter what you do
That's why you see people like me, @Pathtomanliness or @ofwudan constantly promoting their stuff on Twitter.

No traffic = no sales

No matter how good your content is (like these guys' stuff)

You NEED to learn how to sell, even though you hate it.
3. You work fulltime

You can achieve true freedom with working online, yes.

But this comes way later.

At first you will need to work any fucking free minute on your business until it reaches a decent size.

Then you can chill.
4. Twitter is not passive

Yes, I get around 30k traffic a month on my Twitter profile, but that's because I tweet all day, every day.

Once you stop putting stuff out, you stop making money.

The only real passive income is SEO.
Another tedious thing (but lucrative)
5. You will fail (sometimes)

You need to get used to failure.

I wrote a book that nobody gave a single fuck about.
Spend WEEKS writing it. Nobody cared.

I learned a lot from this (i.e. market research FIRST)

But nobody tells you this in the beginning
6. Hate

As soon as you become somewhat successful (especially with a personal brand) you will draw hate.

The Internet is just like that.

You need thick skin to soldier through this.

And NEVER apologize to the mob.
7. You need a strong mind

There will be a lot of days where you really don't want to do that shit.

Be it the tedious task, or even doing the things you like.

But if you want to be successful, you STILL need to do it.

No excuses.

Other ppl are showing up every day.
In the end, it is a business and you need to treat is as such, otherwise you will not be able to live from it.

Especially not comfortably.
