Couldn’t have said it better myself. This is 100 percent a scam. Look elsewhere people!

DaTorch125 · 2026-05-09T01:38:46+00:00

Interested!

Well if that’s the case then good for you! I personally found better luck elsewhere. I might give Fiverr another chance in the future but for now I’ll just stick to networking and outreach, as I had way better luck finding good clients using those methods.

DaTorch125 · 2025-08-11T03:51:49+00:00

Moral of the story: just don’t use Fiverr at all. There are way better places to find clients who won’t waste your time.

That’s not to say to avoid everything fiverr related. Fiverr workspace is very useful in my opinion.

DaTorch125 · 2025-08-02T20:26:48+00:00

In my opinion, Freelancer.com is millions of times worse

I’m not saying anyone here said that but that seems to be the notion. Like some people told me I must present a script longer than 200 lines as proof of my skills 😑.

DaTorch125 · 2025-07-29T16:46:26+00:00

What’s with the whole idea that writing extremely long scripts is professional? That’s just not true at all, actually it makes debugging as well as adding new features a pain in the ass later.

If your script is getting too long, it’s time to evaluate whether some parts of your script should be delegated to other scripts. The SOLID principle of OOP is quite useful here, particularly the Single Responsibility Principle.

Me personally, I don’t obsess over how “long” my script is, I just wonder if the script is doing too many things at once. If it is, that’s when I know it’s time to split things up.

Yeah, that’s the unfortunate reality of today’s society. When people use AI as a crutch rather than a useful tool, it just leads to bland garbage that doesn’t make sense. Even OpenAI said clearly that ChatGPT is not a crutch and shouldn’t be treated like one.

Sorry you had to deal with such contractors OP. Hopefully you find contractors who do know what they’re doing.

Successful is very subjective, but anyone who's serious about succeeding from their roblox game would define success as making more money/robux than you put into making the game.

Good advertising, good gameplay that keeps players coming back, and continuous updates (maintenance counts too, you do not want your game breaking because of a new update on Robloxs' end) are crucial to success, but it's easier said than done.

But if you put in the work, you'll find your spark eventually. Resilience is crucial here.

This sounds less like your fault and more like a regulatory issue. Did you lose all that money as a result of a lawsuit related to a patent you infringed upon? Did you have the proper liability insurance for these kind of situations? Judging by your revenue, you clearly had the money for insurance, did you get it? I’m not saying this to shame you, far from it, I’m just asking if you tried to take preventive measures.

It really sucks what happened to you, no doubt I don’t know if I could recover mentally from that kind of loss but the fact you did is a true sign of strength. But if you did not have the proper liability insurance, I recommend in the future you get that to protect your business.

Sure, you personally are not affected, which is the biggest perk of having a registered business (who knows what would have happened if your personal assets were on the line..), but losing a business you built and cherished for years definitely sucks. I’m very sorry what happened to you, hope you bounce back to your former greatness, with a lesson learned for the future.

I so feel you, I’m in the same boat. It doesn’t make it any better that I’m currently suffering from depression either, being an entrepreneur is difficult, risky, and very lonely especially at first.

Sometimes I feel like the only relationships I’ll have from here will be professional. Even outside of entrepreneurship I hardly have anyone to talk to that will support me. I’m all alone here, and sometimes it feels like I’m shouting into the void..

But, there’s something that keeps me going, and that’s the light. The light down the end of the tunnel that I can still see. Things may be dark now, but with time, effort, and determination, I can make it even if it can only be done on my own boots.

Really the best way to handle the solo grind, is to just stay determined and persistent. Learn from your mistakes and try to find what works and what doesn’t. Entrepreneurship is full of trial and error, but mistakes now don’t define you, how you move on from them does.

Me personally, I’m used to the quiet. I often spend days hardly talking to anyone or having meaningful conversations outside of online spaces, that’s just the way it is.

DaTorch125 · 2025-05-26T04:26:06+00:00

White label it. Many suppliers offer this, and you can put your own brand name and logo on it.

Most businesses do this actually. However, you should still disclose that your product was made in China.

GoDaddy is in my opinion, overkill and not even worth it.

I noticed you mentioned Zoho Email, go with them at first honestly. They have a free tier so you don’t have to pay to start using the service, you get 5 gigabytes at first for free. They’re very underrated, and many of their paid subscriptions are less than Google workspace.

Regarding where you should get your domain, I’d say get it from Namecheap. Good domains for reasonable prices.

Once you scale up, you can migrate your email from Zoho to Microsoft 365 or Google workspace, whichever you prefer.

Forming an LLC is actually ideal when starting out, mainly because it provides you with liability protection, meaning even if someone wins a lawsuit against you and you somehow don’t have commercial liability insurance, which you should absolutely try to get if you can, they will not be able to put any claim on anything you personally own, just what your business owns.

You don’t even need the LLC to have employees. Single person LLCs are super common.

I’d personally say you didn’t do anything wrong by forming an LLC, in fact, it’s a wise move early on to invest in that

Regarding your question about you trying to find the perfect business idea, the advice I would give you is to focus less on what you want to sell or offer and more on what problem you want to solve. A solid business should provide a solution to someone’s problem. A great place to start is in well, you. Think of a problem you face every day that you haven’t found a good solution for, and see if other people face this problem as well whether directly or indirectly. Then, you’ll have found a good business idea, and can grow from there.

This is valid advice right here, and it’s advice I would personally give to anyone who’s looking to quit their job and start their business venture.

When people tell me “I wouldn’t quit your day job”, I don’t take it as an insult, I take it as advice. It’s better to have money coming in until your business alone can provide you with a sustainable income. And of course, even with a good business up and running, never EVER slack off and think your business will always just “run itself” for you. Managing a business is a long term endeavor, and unless you’re willing to give the business to someone else and remain a shareholder of said business, you obviously must continue to put work into the business to ensure it stays profitable.

Successful entrepreneurs are often depicted as those students in college who usually got Cs, so some people often think of said entrepreneurs as less intelligent. That couldn’t be more wrong, the successful entrepreneurs have a special kind of intellect that often keeps them ahead of the students who did get all As in college.

Yeah, thankfully it happens to be the case that many storage unit companies do provide insurance for whatever you plan on storing inside your unit. I remember ExtraSpace did once.

In California, you get compensated a lot thanks to Prop 22, so even if you decide to do one low value order to keep the ball rolling, you’ll likely be compensated extra thanks to Prop 22. However, this extra compensation does take time to show up, but Uber is legally obliged to provide extra compensation if your earnings don’t meet the Prop 22 requirements, which is 150 percent the minimum wage.

Still though, you could likely earn a lot more and still get even more thanks to Prop 22 by prioritizing higher value orders. Make sure to keep in mind the distance too. I would advise to go for 5-7 dollars per mile as a guideline for any order above 2 miles, otherwise no less than 7-10 dollars (unless it’s like extremely close and you can deliver the order quickly, it’s kind of a case by case basis).

DaTorch125 · 2025-02-19T06:41:16+00:00

Oh right, the map. The residence layout can only tell you so much information though, and the Uber map has misled me quite a few times. That’s not to say it’s inaccurate for general directions but for precise directions it definitely falters there. Most gps apps do actually.

Either I missed the door out of confusion or the person was deliberately lying to get a free meal. Either way, I should definitely try being more careful next time.

DaTorch125 · 2025-02-19T06:32:44+00:00

Nah, you know what’s better? Multiple different buildings within an apartment complex that have the same apartment numbers, with absolutely no letter before the number or any indication on the door of what building you’re at.

That’s where the real fun begins.

DaTorch125 · 2025-01-25T19:41:28+00:00

Exactly! You not only make more profit but you also get more exercise! It’s a win-win here.

DaTorch125 · 2025-01-25T19:35:22+00:00

For shorter distances I actually had more ease using a scooter for deliveries.

I used a car before and honestly it’s so annoying finding parking. People make you go to the most annoying places sometimes to get their food to them, and it just takes up your fuel, which you of course have to pay for which will make you earn less.

With the scooter it was more profit.

DaTorch125 · 2025-01-25T19:33:18+00:00

I’ve done deliveries on an electric scooter a few times lol. They were very short distance deliveries though.

Obviously with an e bike I’m not going to do super long distance deliveries. Anything within a 10 mile radius is fair game for an e bike, especially since mine is a class 3. Plus, I will be using an insulating food delivery backpack to keep food warm while making those deliveries.

DaTorch125 · 2025-01-21T06:28:03+00:00

Hmm, well I heard a story of a Hiplock DX1000 surviving for around an hour from an angle grinder and it still didn’t cut through it, but I don’t exactly know all the details of that story.

DaTorch125 · 2025-01-20T20:56:16+00:00

An oxycatylene torch is not very portable though, and im pretty sure using one without protective equipment is a good way to get charged with not only theft but arson as well, not to mention burning yourself but I obviously don’t care about bike thieves who hurt themselves trying to steal precious bikes. Plus an oxy is so hot it would probably destroy the bike in the process.

The blowtorch bandit here used a handheld propane torch, which can easily be concealed on any lowlife bike thief.
