Also... Getting a job when you're already businessperson for a while. *sighs* It's not that simple when they already know you're entrepreneurial, they know you'll leave as soon as you have the occassion and you're not a slave material. You're not the best candidate for them even if you have skills / experience. + Jobs pay less so that doesn't solve financial problems. I think it normally works like this: 1. Someone has jobs and climbs the ladder some 2. Upgrades to being an independent specialist / something more business-y / multiple clients like @roydan
Then it works well because he can take his experience and contacts from work, it doesn't work well the other way around. I mean, I tried lol. They'll rather pick someone with less experience but that can give his/her whole time and attention to the company, rather than someone they *know* will hustle in his spare time and leave the company.
Plus cold calling.I am not sure what kind of business you are in, but in order to get new clients in a matter of 2 months, you would most likely have to try something that gives immediate results. So, paid advertising via Facebook Ads might be worth a try if you are willing to put in some money.
I agree, give it to @TheVigilante to make it more easy for him to adopt two ferretsYeah not giving that baldy 147 dollars.
I would agree with you .Yeah, forums are fine (as you said, you have a specific niche in mind and these people use forums) but it's best to get your own traffic from fb groups / other social media, seo, paid ads. You can have a sales thread at the same time, provider I sometimes resell from (in addition to my own services) has a bhw thread but they also rank in google and have retargeting ads on gads. I actually knew they exist from somewhere else than bhw lol. It's not good to base everything only on 1 forum or platform. Like @polecat said facebook has everyone right now. I hate this site but yeah... It has normies but it also has smma kids, hackers, spammers, carders ripping people off in the fb marketplace. And tbh normies that I target usually act more blackhat than what's allowed at bhw. I'm thinking it's online sunday school at this point... If mainstream small business owners are more blackhat than 'blackhat' forum you know something's wrong.

I regret that I clicked 'show ignored content'. Apparently t2van thinks single people don't have bills to pay lol. It's sooo derogatory to single people, I just can't even. I also have bills to pay and was in this situation and looked for a job at the same time while freelancing and the thing is, if you actually have some experience with freelancing you'll get new clients faster than you'll get a job.
So yeah, I did 'lower myself' and looked for 9 to 5 but each time I was faster at getting new clients (and convinced them to pay upfront) than getting a job (jesus, why recruitment takes so long and has so many steps...) and most employers didn't want me because they preferred someone that has 0 entreprenerial experience. They know you'll leave the job, they want someone more, uhm, loyal because for them it's a loss to train you and then you leave and they'll need to go through recruitment all over again. So in a way I don't blame them even, but it sucks when you're businessy type but you have trouble (and yes, bills to pay and food to buy) and you *can't* even go back. You can't go backwards because nobody will take you in.
Warehouse... I mean, if he's healthy and not disabled since birth like me then why not, he can do that, it doesn't pay that well so idk if it solves his financial problems or not. While we're at it, why won't he just join the army... I surely would do that if I weren't so fuckin sick. I went to army recruitment event before I left the country, it still hurts my heart that I'm too sick to join, most of my family members served, it is a disgrace that I didn't.
Me being single and childless... You know. I'm a non-drinker, low body count, etc, etc so my current freedom is a result of my previous regulated lifestyle. You bang and get a woman pregnant (or you get pregnant) you have responsibilities lol. It's like... I didn't party and lived a virtuous life so now as a result me being 'broke' means crying about visas while staying at 20-smth floor in Kuala Lumpur, Singapore's (nr 1 passport worldwide) neighbour. I have no C-section scar so I can wear bikinis all I want, I still have all teeth (women often loose some during pregnancy), I can wake up when I want, go to sleep when I want, I can focus on myself. Yeppp, lovin' it. NOT looking to start a family. Some younger, hot guy would be nice but if not then not, it's not the end of the world. But kids? Hell no.
It's like @t0mmy said, businessperson would just change to another business or modify current one. Hell, even my small business clients, some have 1 business, some have 2-3 and it's fine too, you don't need to do one thing.
By the way... not for one second am I being cheeky here, however the netmoney I knew had the BEST contacts in the industry and was a huge part of SerpLogic's original success. If it is you bro I apologise and would love to catch up/work on something if possible. I just have this funny feeling (if it's you you'll know how I get) that something is off here.
The netmoney I remember didn't ask for help - he went out and took what he wanted through his epic contacts and serious skill set. He never needed forums at all!
Also he never sold the services the OP mentioned, at least not when I knew and spoke with him multiple times per day.
His account on the other forum hasn't made a post since 2018...
Hey everyone, I just want to clarify that I chose this name to keep this thread separate from my other forum account, especially if things improve and I decide to return. If there happens to be another member with the same name, I apologize for any confusion caused!
I don't know what are you talking aboutKnew it...
So you are not netmoney from the other forum that used the same avatar (or very similar)? Yet you used his name here and you're from the other forum so would know who was/is? Like basically copied his old profile with the white car and exact username... is that what you're saying? And you did this to protect your own account over there, using an old respected execs name and persona here?
Errr wtf
I don't know what are you talking about
I want to clarify that I never pretended to be another member, and I addressed that as soon as I saw your post.Yeah because you ain't netmoney, you're someone that copied his name and online avatar/image from the other forum, as you said in order to protect your other account there? Why not just use a new random name and image, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
I want to clarify that I never pretended to be another member, and I addressed that as soon as I saw your post. If there's another member with the same name, it's purely a coincidence.
Your advice to him was not to get a job, when he has a family.I regret that I clicked 'show ignored content'. Apparently t2van thinks single people don't have bills to pay lol.

I also have bills to pay and was in this situation and looked for a job at the same time while freelancing and the thing is, if you actually have some experience with freelancing you'll get new clients faster than you'll get a job.

Before you go to bed, get two ferrets adopted- A good 50%+ posts here are people saying they remember you, but you only thought heh when I posted my sceptical thoughts.
- You've used his exact name and the same avatar he did.
- You thanked posts from multiple members here that said they knew you.
ffs... lol I'm off to bed, request a name change.. you're using someone with a solid name the majority of us know here, it'll get confusing and isn't right on the dude netmoney was - again you say you are on the other forum, so you should know this... coincidence my arse.
I'd hate something to go wrong later with you especially given the products you state you sell (that I knew he didn't) and my old friend which most of us thought you were get his name tarnished.
Was netmoney on the fastlane forum as well?- A good 50%+ posts here are people saying they remember you, but you only thought heh when I posted my sceptical thoughts.
