Getting Despised, Discouraged and Fighting for an Answer

He told me I couldn’t even arrange my store probably. That I will never amount to anything.

She told me, don’t think that my father was the founder of this business. I can do anything I want.

She told my mum I shouldn’t pursue my music dream, because I never started at an early age.

I Was Despised and Discouraged By My Own Family Members!

But I never gave up.

Over the years, I had been fighting for an answer.

An answer that could change my life and bring me to where I want.

Though I was born into a business-oriented family, I wasn’t living a business-oriented life.

To them, I was only an average working-class person who would only work for the rest of my life. But…

This Wasn’t the Life I Want!

I want to fight for the freedom to work when and where I want.

I want to be able to control my own life.

And I believe that’s what you want as well.

It’s a dream to fight for, and it’s a dream we have the right to have.

So, in the spirit of not giving up, I started to fight for an answer.

My first fight was to join an MLM company.

What really got me into MLM was a friend who introduced me how I could have financial freedom.

So, I Worked Hard!

And my life settled into a routine. It went like this:

I would wake up at 4:00 am and start reading everything I could get my hands on about MLM, sales, advertising and marketing.

After which I would go to work at 6:00 am, and come back at 6:00 pm.

Then I would either go to sales lessons, start cold-calling or visit my relatives and friends door-to-door to sell the health products the MLM company had to offer.

I got rejection after rejection from relatives and friends.

Everyone seemed to despise me after I offered the health products to them.

This was very discouraging.

This went on for almost 6 months.

The worst part was that I only managed to get 3 orders.

Eventually, I quit.

Although I learned a lot of sales and advertising strategies, the biggest lesson was seeing the true soul of everyone when I tried to sell them products.

Anyway, long story short, I went back to my daily life.

A life I hated. But…

I Didn’t Give Up!

I started to do research, go to bookstores and the library.

I read everything I could about sales, marketing, business and motivation.

Let me tell you, I was driven.

I read everything and learned everything but, in the end, I didn’t know where to start.

I didn’t know what I could sell, as all the books I read didn’t really give me any ideas about creating products.

It’s like having knowledge between your ears that you can’t use.

It was very frustrating. But…

I Didn’t Give Up!

I kept buying and borrowing books.

Finally I stumbled upon a book that showed me…

What I Was Looking for!

It showed me how anyone can invest a small amount of money and start making money on the internet.

This book is called The Secrets of Internet Millionaires, by Stuart Tan.

I read every word.

It was something so new to me that I was totally blown away.

There are Multiple Ways to Make Money On the Internet!

Ways such as PPC, Adsense, affiliate marketing, blogging, memberships, services and many more.

And every way described in the book only required an investment of a small sum of money.

So, with the knowledge I gained from the book, I started my first blog in 2008.

I brought a domain name call EmpireDotCom.com and got my hosting at HostGator.

EmpireDotCom was all about the sales, marketing and advertising tricks I have gathered from the books I read.

After a month of blogging, nothing really happened.

There were no comments, and the traffic was so small that sometimes there was no traffic at all.

I put banners with affiliate links everywhere, in the hope that someone would buy through my links.

I even put AdSense and hope there are clicks coming in.

But nothing happened.

No sales, and barely any clicks.

I started to get frustrated and discouraged.

So I Started to Do More Research About Making Money Online!

I brought products and paid for memberships, just so I could learn and really make money online.

Did it work?

Well… some work, but most of them are just a bunch of useless information.

When I say they work, it really does work – for example, creating a sales page and using PPC to drive traffic to the page.

I did get some sales, but the money was unstable.

And PPC ate up more than I earned from the sales.

Eventually, I stopped.

I went back to do more research, hoping to find another way while surfing the internet.

Then I Stumbled Upon a Forum that Talked About Pickups!

Within the forum, there was a section where you can write sex stories.

I started reading and got interested in writing one myself.

So, I started writing short stories about sex.

Long story short, I became a frequent poster in a sex forum.

Many people in the forum told me they wanted to hear more of my stories.

So, I started another blog.

And TheBadBlogger.com Was Born!

I started writing sex stories and promoting them in the forum.

Eventually my traffic went from two- to three-digit numbers.

Although it looked like there was improvement, but the earnings were still very small.

After months of blogging, I was running out of stories to tell, and eventually I stopped.

Didn’t write for weeks.

Everything went back to square one.

For years, I kept restarting this blog, from writing sex stories to marketing and sales advice and blogging.

After all these years of restarting and learning from my mistakes, I realised that the more I was despised and discouraged by my family members, the more I wanted to fight for the answer.

So, if you are still here reading, I’m sure you are still fighting for your own answer.

And if you are still wondering and hesitating about whether you should start a blog, guess what…

You Should – Right now!

If you’re looking for hosting, I recommend SiteGround.

This blog was transferred from HostGator to SiteGround.

The reason for the transfer was because HostGator almost destroyed my blog.

You can read about it here:

A Sad Tale About a Blog that Was Dying a Quick and Untimely Death

But, as of right now, you should stop hesitating and start taking action.

If you want to succeed, you cannot wait for the world to give you the attention you deserve.

You have to fight for the answer.

And never stop believing in yourself.

The world is full of naysayers that will despise and discourage you, but you shouldn’t become what they describe.
