How is this logical?
Hey everyone I am a bit frustrated and I must ask for a directions. So I've been losing a lot of sleep for the past 2 years trying to learn new things, get better and create something valuable and I am still into nothing, circling around.
I sent 90,000 cold emails last few months, closed 54 clients, it was pain in the a*s, I couldn't sleep for weeks, getting on calls, closing the clients, making better offers, learning about creating websites, etc...
A few months before that I scaled a vibe coded web app to almost $7k MRR and then I lost majority of those users because the market got flooded by vibe coded apps and someone even uploaded open source version for free.
Tried with running a blog, tried bringing traffic through Pinterest (10 mil monthly impressions) but very low clicks on the link.
And I saw 2 people on Upwork and I lost my mind. They are working for a SEO agency and their only job is writing the articles. They don't have an expertise in anything, they work 40 hours per week and they get paid $10/hour. They are working according to a script, 0 creativity and they don't work on %. They just need to deliver AI written blogs that are SEO optimized.
I have 6+ years of SEO experience but 0 jobs on Upwork, everything was only outside from that platform and I still can't land a single job so I can finance my projects.
So I brought real people, converted that people into money, made everything from 0 and failed and I am still working more than them making less money.
P.S: I also tried to reach companies/clients that I would find on Upwork so I can work for them but everyone declined, my previous success is obviously not visible. I also applied to a bunch of jobs on Linkedin and I have reached to many marketing agencies but still nothing.
I really need some advice, thank you everyone.
