Comment on Ask HN: Getting depressed about money. How do I make a meaningful amount “fast”?parent

Comments

Selling, which is the biggest skill you need to have, is clearly missing. Which explains a lot of your frustations.

I strongly suggest you read Way of the Wolf by Jordan Belfort. Best sales book there is. Go buy it right now.

Read it amd email me when you are done.

Will do. I have some sales experience though I never worked as a dedicated sales person. I've made cold calls that turned into paying gigs and I've done sales as an engineer: go present the technical aspects of the product and take potential customers from "who the hell are you guys?" to "how can I give you my money?". I also have a lot of negotiation experience and do quite well with that, but never a bad thing to get better at it.

Good, because you grasp the importance of my suggestion.

Emailing me to continue forward is also important. Otherwise you stay in the same place.
