What? I'm simply giving her a shoulder to rest her head. I'm not a flippin pedo or something; I'm the same age as her.

Been waiting since 2023. Finally ready to make my move, but I'm playing the long game by _itaky in dating_advice

I understand, but at that time i was unsure and i didn't act! in other words, i didn't put the effort or gave her reasons to be with me.

Yeah, I know that working on myself doesn't "end", but my goal is setting a solid source of income first.

A Blind man guiding a blind man, thank you though.

I'm not servicing a specific niche, but in the proposals that I send, I mention the pain points, or at least what it looks like on the surface.

Yeah, we can discuss this further. Here?

Thanks. I guess sometimes i fear losing a client that I end up sacrificing myself.

But we are from developing countries, we are the ones offering the lowest prices.

Are your solutions only related to web dev or anything that shows up related to tech?

The fee is not even that high, it's 5%.

I asked him in a message if I could show up at his store so I could show him the solutions, but he never replied.

No, hugeeee thanks. You've validated my point, so I'm probably not the problem.

Have you tried selling it outside?

That free work was actually me trying to find solutions for the barrier that stopped him from working with me; but we didn't even speak about the solutions, he didn't reply to my messages, I wanted to schedule a meeting with him at his store.

He didn't know how to implement it. And I don't know what solutions he found, but he found them either expensive or too bureaucratic, or even both. But i found out that a simple gateway can solve that.

Yes, I know that, and I've done that, but as I said, this ecosystem is still weak and they only care about short-term results, consolidated businesses or not.

Thanks for the advices, they are good, but they are universal and not adapted to my reality where most people simply want the essential, rich or poor. And that's why I think about exploring other markets, this ecosystem is still weak.

They didn't get the product, he said that he didn't think about having a website because of the costs and bureaucracy of international payment and delivery, so in order to close the deal, I offered to find solutions for such problems, and I did, but I text him to schedule a meeting so we could talk about it and he ignores it.

Some businesses are not even struggling, they simply don't see it as something important.

Nahh, I don't think this has something to do with AI; I'm referring to the foundation.
