Hello, I'm feeling totally broke... I really want to start my own business or start freelancing (I just want to work on my own). For about 2 years, I tried different types of business, side hustles, and freelancing. I tried e-commerce: firstly, I tried drop-shipping with organic TikTok and social media marketing - 0 results. After that, I tried to buy stock and resell products, also using free marketing strategies. I did it for 4–5 months but got only 5 maximum orders. After that, I tried... Read more ..read more

So let's say you are hiring a freelancer to fix something in your business. I'm curious how do you think about following situations. I'm especially interested in American or Central European people.

Hello everyone, this is my first thread here on the fastlane forum. A little about me: Im a 17 year old entrepreneur living in romania.

Absolute eye opener. Didnt do anything entrepreneurial for months due to this insurmountable limiting belief that "customers would never buy my stuff, it has to... Read more ..read more

I understand that money is not necessarily a prerequisite to starting a business in some cases, but let’s say in a situation we’re money is needed, Is it better to get a job, or to start a “side hustle” with drop shipping and affiliate marketing, because from what I have heard is basically in a nutshell: affiliate marketing and drop shipping is bad.

Hi guys! A determined self-improvement guru here. My goal is to work a couple of hours a day and have the freedom to wake up whenever I want and do what I want. Since early last year tried my hand at freelancing I set up a professional email and some landing pages and the like and started out reaching on social media and emails. I've gotten a few replies but all have been negative, or no answer. I would say on average I've done around 3-5 outreaches a day since I started. I've since... Read more ..read more

I sell on ebay. I buy from a range of suppliers; one is no longer selling to me (long story short, a misunderstanding that wasn't my fault). I still want to sell their product, but don't want to bother friends or family to order for me, as there will be multiple orders over time, and that could get annoying. I'm wondering if there's a service that will buy, receive the items, then ship to me. I know about reshipping companies; that's not what I need. They would have to buy the items under...
