Rags to Bitches - Journey to escape the 9 to 5.



Why would you learn PHP if you already know python? That is ass-backwards bro.

And how do you throw "hello world" in the same pile as a "simple web scraper"?

These two things combined lead me to believe you have never written a line of code in your entire life.

I'm going to take some time off and just focus on programming. Ruby, Flask, Node... haven't decided yet. Just keep on increasing my abilities until I can actually build something worthy of being built. 6 - 12 months of learning a new language is infinitely more valuable than chasing the few grand I could make from WP.

And this is backwards as hell too. Think of something you *want to create* FIRST, and then figure out what the best tool is to get the job done, and learn how to make it happen.
 
This is why 99.9% of people can't succeed in this industry.

- Non-realistic expectations. $100k in 3 months? My newbie goal was $1,000 in 3 months. When I hit it I felt like a SUCCESS and it made me more motivated to keep going.

- Pessimistic. This guy's focusing on all the reasons why it can't work when he hasn't even launched shit yet. You pivot AFTER you launch and collect feedback.

- No persistence. Seriously, 5 days and you give up?

- You wanna keep increasing your abilities until you can build something? Sounds like Duke Nukem Forever syndrome where you'll always think you're not good enough, and nothing ever happens.

Making money is not about your current skill-set, it's all about your mentality; right now you're thinking like a 9-5'er.

To make a long story short, I've been a fuck-up for the past few years.

My intellect, happiness, and motivation has withered away while pursuing a degree that I do not give one shit about.

Right now, I am setting myself up for a life of mediocrity. I cannot let this happen.

Inspired by SkyFire's journal, I've made it my goal to achieve $100,000 within the next three months.

Here's the game plan:

I've got some programming experience in Python. Simple web scrapers, tic-tac-toe games, "hello world", etc. It's time to expand on my programming knowledge and learn PHP.

Why PHP? Wordpress plugins - the infrastructure, market, and documentation are already there for me to work with.

By the end of this month, my first plugin will be finished. In December, I market it. If it's a hit, I continue to improve it and sell it. If not, I move on to the next plugin.

Wish me luck.

You expect to make 100 000$ with your first plugin?

OP here's a formula for making $100K with a wordpress plugin:

1. Make traffic trading plugin for wordpress blogs
2. Get niggas & bitches to install your widget into their sidebar and traffic trade with other blog owners (who doesn't want more traffic?)
3. Wait until it reaches xxx,xxx clicks traded daily
4. ????
5. Redirect all clicks to flogs and make $100k in a day
6. Get outted by Michael Arrington on TechCrunch
7. Do it on Tumblr rinse & repeat

I am going to make a thread about you soon, about my appreciation for your posts. I'm currently sober and plan to be all day, so maybe tomorrow.
 
Why set yourself up for failure? 100,000 3 months? 10,000 in 3 would be impressive. If you want $100,000 to be a goal, give yourself a year at least.
 
And I would just recommend to stop chasing the money OP.

Now stop reading this thread and get to it.

You've been a fuckup the past few years and you expect to all of a sudden flip a switch and make $100k in 3 months?

I believe in setting small, realistic goals. Focus on hitting your first $1k, then, $5k, then $10k, etc. Achieving small goals builds momentum and keeps you motivated.
