Hey everyone,
How's it going? I'm writing this with a head full of questions, hoping to get some advice on what to do next. Right now, I feel like I'm stuck in this loop of doing nothing and stressing out about what comes next. I'm feeling a bit lost and uncertain about my future, and I could really use some guidance.
Let me take you back a bit. It all started in 2016-17 when I dropped out of high school and started a YouTube channel. It was one of those cash cow channels, you know? I made informative videos without showing my face, and things were going well. I even managed to rack up over 650k subscribers. On the side, I was dabbling in social media marketing and doing WordPress web design gigs. Life was good.
But then, things took a turn. I was in a committed relationship, but it fell apart. Hurtful words were exchanged, and I felt like I wasn't good enough. Soon after, I found myself in another relationship, but this one wasn't what it seemed. Lies started unraveling, and before I knew it, that relationship crumbled too. I ended up selling my YouTube channel to help my partner's daughter with school fees.
Those two years between breakups were tough. Anxiety and depression crept in, and panic attacks became a regular thing. I spent all my money trying to make things right in my second relationship, trying to prove to myself that I could make it work. Eventually, I realized I needed to focus on myself. So, I got back into online work, leveraging my skills in WordPress and social media marketing.
For a while, things picked up. I had clients for website designs, Facebook marketing, YouTube management, and a few Clients for LLC Forming in USA (it included setting up mailboxes, filling,Obtaining EIN Number, Getting Business Bank Accounts and Payment Gateways Approved,setting up business websites. But then, as quickly as it started, the clients stopped coming, because all these clients were through words of mouth and for the past 6-8 months, I've been in a rut. No clients, no income, just me trying to figure out what's next.
But here's the thing—I haven't stopped learning. I've been diving into more advanced tools and techniques, sharpening my skills in web design and SEO. I have been learning More Advance Page Builders like Bricks Builder, GenerateBlocks and Elementor and improving my skills in plugins like ACF to develop dynamic Websites. And as I have told before, I even have experience helping clients register LLCs and set up payment gateways and US bank accounts.
But despite all this, my mind is still foggy. I'm trying to break free from this cycle of doing nothing every day. So, I'm turning to you, for some real talk. in the hopes that maybe someone out there has been where I am and found their way out. Whether you've got some sage advice, a success story to share, or just a virtual hug to offer, I could really use it right now.
Imagine you were in my shoes—no savings, $3k in debt, and no clear direction. What would you do next?
