there is a successful 7+ figure earner who says that 9 of the 10 things she tries don’t work. that means she absolutely benefits from one of those thingse. But if she doesn’t try things the won’t benefit at all. another thing is that there are no failures. there are only success and learning experiences. Even in ‘failure’ or things that don’t work there are hidden successes. I spent a lot of time doing affiliate marketing, multi-level marketing (MLM) also called Network Marketing. I spent a bunch of money buying training programs I thought would help me along the way. One of the things I bought was a $500 course on how to create videos online for attraction marketing. There were countless videos but each was around 3 minutes long. During that training, I learned how to edit videos using the software CapCut. I am not pretty good at editing videos using that software. Earlier this year (YUP last month) In February 2026 I decided to shift my focus from promoting a specific set of digital products showing people how to make money with attraction marketing to showing people how to knit and crochet. All of that training I learned and applied in editing is now saving me hours as I edit my 30 min videos. So your joureny is unique. You have not experienced a series of failures but a series of learning experiences. So that each time you start something new you are not starting over you are starting from where you are . . . your new and improved self. Keep looking for that path that brings you joy!

please add this to the classroom. I think it’s very very important and this message will get lost with everybody else posting thanks a lot.

I use ChatGPT every day to assist me in creating long form YouTube Video scripts I am tweaking my script formula and add something new in an effort to get at least 1% better each day.

I would say recalibrating. I am building a youtube channel. Initially on January 1 my focus was sharing with people how they can pay once for a done for you system, create short form videos 3 times a day, post them on social media and YouTube to draw people into my email sequence awakening their dream lifestyle so they can do the same and help others get to their dream with 3 hour workdays, quitting their job and living the life they never could imagine. Other people doing this same thing are making multiple six figures a year. After doing this for 2 years and no sales I took a workshop on following your passion. I LOVE creating knitted and crocheted items like hats. I have been knitting and crocheting for 60 years and have found a new niche. I joined a community which focuses on long form video on YouTube. I am learning to start with the topic, then create the thumbnail text and title to increase the likelihood of viewers to click on the video based on the “package” (Thumbnail and Title) and then watch the video. I am currently creating a series where I teach them how to make a dishcloth with a basic stitch. Then I will offer 8 more stitches so they can make a dishtowel with those 8 squares. Buying specialty yarns that make the projects SING can be expensive. typically crafters will use less expensive alternative yarn to create items. all the while yearning to make items with more expensive fiber. How I will monetize is set up an Amazon affiliate account and suggest items they can buy. I will eventually swing back to the business where they can earn extra money to help them afford those expensive tools and yarn to make what they really want and be able to quit their job so they can knit/crochet more and do what makes their heart sing. I know this is a LONG game but I am ready to improve the package and my how to videos showing people how to knit/crochet. As I do thiat my videos for the business will also improve making ti possible for people to start knitting/crocheting. This is not just for people who want to learn to knit/crochet, but also more advanced techniques like how to design items and find their rhythm.
