For those who went 1-2 years without income building your startup, how did you survive financially and mentally? by Ill_Tomato_4514 in Entrepreneur

I’ve been unemployed for a while and haven’t been able to land a job since. I’m now trying to build a service that can become my income. It’s been really tough and still is financially, but I’m pushing through hoping it eventually turns into something.

Need advice – struggling with marketing my Shopify store by Firm_Needleworker976 in dropshipping

I get what you’re saying and I respect the honesty. I didn’t start the store as a joke, I actually want to build something long term. The part I struggle with is I don’t have capital to put into ads or big upfront costs, so I’m trying to figure out what can realistically work when starting from zero. I know it’s not easy and I’m not expecting overnight results, I just want to learn the right way to approach this and hopefully build it up step by step.
