The Online Money Move That Finally Worked for Me

(After 6 Failed Attempts, This Is What Finally Clicked)

Are you tired of trying to make money online and failing every single time?

You’re not alone. I’ve been through that cycle — not once or twice — but six times. And each time, I genuinely believed that this one was going to be “it.”

I’ve tried everything from dropshipping to freelancing to creating my own digital products. I even created six Blogspot websites trying to find my niche, attract readers, and build something meaningful.

Most of them didn’t work. But one day, something finally did.

This is the story of how I finally made my first real money online — and how you can follow the same path.

My 6 Failed Attempts to Make Money Online

Let me walk you through what didn’t work for me. These aren’t just ideas I gave a quick try. These were serious attempts — months of effort, learning, and, yes, disappointment.

1. Dropshipping

I built an online store, ran Facebook ads, and waited for orders that never came. It was like shouting into the void.

2. YouTube Channel

I launched a channel with high hopes as . The first few videos barely reached 13 views — most of which were from me refreshing the page.

3. Freelance Gigs

I joined freelancing platforms and picked up low-paying gigs that felt more like digital slavery than opportunity.

4. Cryptocurrency

I made a couple of bad “investments” based on hype. I’d rather not talk about it. Let’s just say it was a painful lesson.

5. Blogging (The First Few Times)

I’ve created six Blogspot blogs over time, each focused on different topics — tech, motivation, earning money online, and more. I posted articles, learned SEO basics, and even designed custom themes. But engagement was zero. No readers, no comments, and no income.

6. Digital Products

I spent weeks building a digital product. Nobody bought it. I didn’t even get inquiries.

Each failure chipped away at my confidence. I started to believe maybe I just wasn’t cut out for the “make money online” dream. I kept asking myself:

“Why is this working for everyone else but not for me?”

The Move That Finally Worked

On my seventh try, I did something completely different:

I got paid for teaching what I already knew — without waiting to become an “expert.”

I stopped following cookie-cutter advice. I stopped trying to copy someone else’s success formula. Instead, I turned to something simple and honest:

I started sharing what I knew.

Not in a braggy way. Not with clickbait promises. I just wrote online — mostly on my Blogspot blogs — about the things I had personally experienced, solved, and learned.

For example:

• How I organized my digital life using Notion
• How I failed 6 times before figuring out what works
• How to avoid wasting time chasing online trends
• And guess what?

People started commenting. A few even reached out asking for help. One person even said, “Can I book a call with you?”

That one paid session changed everything.

Why It Works (Even If You Think You’re Not “There Yet”)

Most people online are looking for real stories and relatable help — not perfect experts.

You don’t need a fancy degree, massive followers, or viral videos.

You just need:

Knowledge that’s slightly ahead of someone else’s

Willingness to share your journey openly

The ability to listen to what people are actually asking

I wasn’t an expert. But I was a step ahead of someone who needed help. That’s enough to create value.

What I’d Do If I Started Over (And What You Can Do Too)

Here’s the exact blueprint I’d follow again if I were starting from scratch:

1. Choose One Skill or Topic You Know

Pick something you’ve improved at over time. It could be:

• How you started budgeting your income
• How you built your first blog
• How you overcame procrastination
• How you created content consistently

Pro tip: Think about your “yesterday self.” What would have helped you back then?
