8pm: I may shift to Drop-shipping as opposed to continuing Onlyfans in the long term. The more I read of the Quran and grow closer to Islam, the more or a gradual transformation I feel within myself, and it’s getting harder and harder to suppress and ignore. As an agnostic that thinks the idea of a god existing is unlikely, I was able to morally do anything I wanted as long as it did not directly hurt others. I had no problems taking photos of my butthole, I had no reason to feel shame, and to this day I don’t feel shame, but I do feel a slight revulsion at the thought of continuing to expose myself, to even post one more piece of content on my Onlyfans. This “transformation” effects my day to day more and more, as I seek to pursue a more halal lifestyle. I am learning to appreciate the creation that I am, I am compelled to take care of my health and dress well, to make my god proud of what he has created, not ashamed. I had big plans for my Onlyfans, $20,000/ month ( 2,000 fans) was just inevitable not a matter of if. However my growing convictions far surpass any amount of money. I even created a website, Growthenomics.net so I could promote other models no matter how the market or economy was fairing, I had everything mapped out, I would have either stayed in the industry or sold it all and used the money to get into something more legit like construction for example, or convert my Filipino sales team to work for western businesses. I’m worried for my employees, will I be able to bring them with me if I transition into drop-shipping? I’ve spent an entire year learning how to sell and I’ve gotten fairly good at it within my industry, and my team is becoming more competent with time. But I digress, I have three options for immediate replacement of onlyfans, immediate being over the next year. Forex trading, Affiliate marketing ( this blog and a Youtube) or the ever generic drop-shipping. Forex is something I have zero experience with, however I have a friend in Iran who makes very good money trading and is very insistent on teaching me his secrets. My main issue with Forex is time related, time learning the skills, time to first profits, time spent working on it within a single day, time to actually becoming proficient enough to make a living off of it. I have these same exact issues with Blogging and Affiliate Marketing, also a lack of trust on my Blog and YouTube ever actually being able to make me the kind of money I want to make for the time/effort I put into it. I think out of these three at least in the short term, Drop-shipping can provide me with a good (ROI) return on investment in time and treasure. I’m well aware drop-shipping is absolutely saturated, competition does not worry me, if anything it signals there is money to be made. I have a natural inclination to products even over my idea of owning a construction company one day. Iron sharpens iron and thus competition creates a hungrier person, the basic tenants of business are present un dropshipping, acquisition, sales and fulfillment, these are skills a business person should be continually improving over their entire life and can be applied into any business sector, product, service etc. I view dropshipping as a jumping off point into a larger field, not necessarily the all encompassing goal. Once I learn the skills, I will naturally identify deficiency’s in the market and opportunity’s to fulfill that I cannot see now, and may shift into a related product driven business model. The point being, I ser dropshipping as the doorway to an entire new world. I do intend in the long run to capitalize on the Inputvoutput brand, there will be a time and place for that, perhaps when I can afford a marketing team to think for me in the aspect of recording my day to day so I can focus on business. The idea being if I of all fucking people can do it, then you most fucking definently can too. For the time being I will have to man up and continue selling on my Onlyfans and producing content until I have a business model that can replace it.
