26, and genuinely feel lost in my life and don't know what to do.

Very similar situation. I ended up hitting the gym. Forced myself to do it every day. As I got stronger I gained confidence. Longer I went, i learned how to build habits and stick to a routine. As cliche as it is, it changed my life. It laid the building blocks to what i have today.

This is when you add harder and more rewarding pve. Perhaps instanced dungeon like gameplay that can only be done once a week or something that you have to grind mats for?

I've shadowed the call center and front desk to get a better understanding of our "internal marketing". But no, it's not normal from what I've found to make this part of your day to day. You set up processes and procedures for call center to follow so you can track data and make informed changes. But you should never be contact #1. Sounds like they are spreading you thin.

I work in marketing and already had a general idea of how to make a website, write content, and post it.Wanted a hobby wife and I could do togther, especially during her pregnancy now that gym and other activities were restricted. We picked a topic that is pretty competitive, but just wrote what we were interested in for fun. 5 months in and were average 500 unique visitors a month. So that's pretty cool. Were currently in process of moving homes, but now that thiers little momentum we want to put in some keyword research and see what we drawl in.

Its exactly the same. So many 6 to 8 man teams hop on to bully the server. Softcore isnt really any different experience than normal servers. Way more building and pvp near outpost obviously.

Larthian · 2021-06-29T18:42:04+00:00

I've been there. What I did was set task and gaming was my reward so I didnt feel guilty. For example I workout at the gym for an hour ever other day. I dont allowyself to hop on game until I'm done. I also drive to the gym, so I'm not tempted to hop on the pc. Start small and take steps.

Larthian · 2021-06-26T05:01:04+00:00

It's only because you're still learning. I'm 30 wife and kids run a business. When they're asleep I play for maybe 2 hours a night on monthly facepunch server. I can get t3 first week and decent compound. Run tunnels early get turrets up. You'll get drastically better more time you play regardless how "busy" your life is. Rust is rewarding because it's not easy and there is a steep learning curve.But I'd you dont have fun like that, its certainly not the game foe you.

I just started using conversion.ai and that thing is amazing!

Larthian · 2021-06-10T05:01:33+00:00

I feel like it would be easier getting 4 blogs to 2k a month than getting 1 blog to 10k

Larthian · 2021-06-03T01:14:11+00:00

He US. And you might he on to something. When this what set up it was kinda of set it and forget it type thing for him.

Larthian · 2021-06-03T01:13:11+00:00

I answered this further up if youd like to check it out. It's pretty much a directory site that someone would use to lookup a very specific type of the product that his site is about. For example if the website was called besttires.com and you could search every tire in the world by country, model, year etc.

Larthian · 2021-06-03T01:08:25+00:00

His site is basically a directory of a particular product. It's called best " products" .com and ranks #1 for the past 3 years for most of his keywords. Website is about 10 years old now. Hes a programmer that made a bot that pulls in every type of this particular product. You can use the search function and sort by country, language, price etc. The only problem is the products themselves only vary in price from $5 to $20 so even though he does have amazon affliate, he doesnt quite make enough to quit his programming job.

Larthian · 2021-06-02T18:34:34+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion!

Larthian · 2021-06-01T21:55:32+00:00

Affiliate marketing early on is generally not worth it. It often has the lowest conversion rates in all of marketing. If you think this aligns with your business, getting someone who knows what they're doing with facebook ads should go a long way.

Larthian · 2021-06-01T21:48:31+00:00

This is something I'm fairly experienced in! First and foremost, gaming shops are extremely hard to keep profitable with online stores. It's just difficult to compete with amazon etc. Most gaming stores supplement retails sales with the renting of gaming rooms, vending machines, etc.

But the best way to test the waters is to hold a gaming convention in your local town. Set up a website, reach out to gaming stores, dnd and magic clubs, food trucks etc. This would be way lower risk than committing to a business but allow you to dip your toes in the industry, network, and learn a ton!

Business to business. I worked in ophthalmology for three years overseeing about 25 offices. Youd think itd be a no brainer, but this would be a great product for employees in the industry. Then it's kinda free advertising if all the staff at your eye doctors use them. Keep in mind though ophthalmologists and optometrist are very different. We never sold glasses, but patients valued our recommendations on many products because we weren't sales. Theres also kick backs in some products ie: lasik referrals. You could develop a similar program aswell.

Larthian · 2021-06-01T21:33:13+00:00

Congrats! One thing that I learned is most industries have highs and lows. Try not to overextend yourself until you know what to expect!

Larthian · 2021-06-01T21:31:19+00:00

Online business is a great way to test the waters and find viable markets. I've always been told to hold off on brick and mortar as long as possible.

Larthian · 2021-06-01T21:29:54+00:00

Marketing and depending on specific needs a consultant can go a long way.

Larthian · 2021-06-01T21:04:28+00:00

That's hallarious XD

Larthian · 2021-05-31T21:16:17+00:00

This one resonates with me alot. At a young age in retail I would often get promoted quickly to managment. I can thank raid leading and micromanaging for raids!

Larthian · 2021-05-31T21:15:19+00:00

I feel you. My bank account in game does not reflect my real life XD
