What I have learned about Online Business, Internet and Cryptocurrencies

in #hive-1679222 years ago

Over the years I've learned and saw a lot of things since I've been doing business online, but one of the things that never ceases to amaze and seem unbelievable to me is how, even today, most people don't understand the nature of the online businesses, Internet and/or cryptocurrencies.

Many do not believe that it is possible to work or do business online

Ignorance reaches such a degree that many people do not believe that it is even possible to be able to work online or do business online. Such concepts simply do not enter their heads.

And I mention this because it has happened to me many times that I meet people who ask me what is my job and when I tell them that I work online, they do not believe me at all, and think that I am only unemployed, and that I do not want to work for someone. plus.

Well, the unemployed thing is absolutely false, because since I work and do business on the Internet, I am much more than a simple employee in any job, that is, I am my own boss, I am a business person and I am an entrepreneur; so I am not a unemployed at all.

As for what they think regard I don't want to work for someone else; there they are somewhat right, because I really do not want to work for anyone else, but this is not because of laziness (as they might think); but because I have discovered that online businesses are more satisfying and profitable for me than any conventional job that I can have in the real world.

And I don't blame them for not understanding

It is normal that not everyone understands online businesses, since they are something so paradigmatically new and recent that people who are used to conventional 8-hour jobs cannot easily understand them.

How could most people understand that working online is a privilege that technology gives us, when most people only use technology and Internet to play games that do not pay you for their time, or to gossip about the lives of others; and/or waste time on today's most famous social networks?

Well, I don't judge them, everyone spends or invests time as they see fit. Personally, I prefer to invest the time to learn and/or do something useful, since I don't like wasting time spending it on non profitable and intrascendent things.

Because time is like money in that sense, I mean, you can invest it or waste it, and I prefer to invest it, because I know that it is the most profitable and advisable in all the senses. The truth is, it's all about having a productive and bussiness mentality that not everyone has or can have.

Why do people not understand online business?

Actually, I don't expect everyone to understand it, the truth is that several years ago, I used to suffer from the naivety of wanting to explain to everyone the things what I did to earn money on the Internet, so that they could too replicate it in their lives, but after a while, I realized that most people don't understand online business, no matter how you try to explain to them; so today I don't even bother in trying to teach anything about it.

I think the old adage "When the student is ready, the teacher appears" applies here. Which in this context means that if a person is prepared to understand online business, then the appropriate teacher will appear who will teach its what it needs to know about it. And the teacher can be anyone, because the student will learn to the extent that it is already prepared to assimilate what it should know about online business.

Well, I know that this perspective on the matter is very philosophical, but that is how I feel, and this is what I have learned over the years.

In fact, I hold this because I have understood over the years that people will not understand something they are not willing to understand (or prepared to understand), no matter how much you explain it to them.

In addition, it has happened to me many times that, after explaining to someone some method or system to earn money on the Internet, they begin to question it in a foolish and senseless way.

And this happens because deep down:

  1. They do not believe that working online is a real job in itself.
  2. They want to get rich overnight.
  3. And they are not willing to make any significant or real effort towards their goals (or they have not even any goals)

Quite simply, the concept of online business is beyond their understanding and they do not understand the concept and the great opportunity that is presented to them.

How to make them understand that they can work and do business from home through a smartphone or a laptop and an Internet connection, when they only know how to waste their time with such things?

The most important thing in this regard

Being more rispero in all senses, I think that the most important thing regarding everything that I have told you (and that I have managed to understand in all this time), is that whoever wants to learn, learns. And that teachers are not really needed for any of this earning money online, because whoever wants to learn about something, inquires about that something, and studies and applies it.

And I am the living example of what I am telling you right now. I have been working and doing business successfully through the Internet for 8 years in the most diverse ways, and I have learned everything in a self-taught way, studying, researching; learning and applying all the ways that could allow me to earn money effectively on the Internet.

Have I made mistakes in this regard? Many, and I continue to commit them. In fact, one of them I was made at the start of the current cryptocurrency bear cycle, as I invested in a batch of altcoins (approximately 6-7 altcoins), just before the entire market crashed.

And yes, that was a big mistake, and I admit it, but error and trial are two of the best teachers we can have along our path of the online businesses.

Because if a teacher had taught me not to make those kinds of mistakes, the learning for me would not have been as effective and significant as losing money in the process (for painful that it is, and it is painfull).

So learning in an effective way what Online business is, implies, from my point of view, the fact of many times investing and losing money, even whe we learn in a self-taught way. Let's never forget that.

Today, cryptocurrencies in general are the most profitable business of all

Now, when someone asks me simply what is the most profitable business they can do on the Internet, I answer that from my point of view, it is cryptocurrencies.

But immediately I make it clear to them that what I am telling them are not investment recommendations in any sense for them or for anyone, because in the first place, everyone is responsible for what they do and do not do with their money, since it is their money and from noone else. And secondly, because making money investing in cryptocurrency requires learning many things that most people are not willing to learn (or it is not easy for them to understand), among them, is emotional self-control.

Why do I think cryptocurrencies are the best business right now?

Because in my view and understanding, there is no other type of business that can be so profitable in the long term, due to the potential and uses that cryptocurrencies will have more and more in the future.

And I clarify that when talking about cryptocurrencies, I am only referring here to Bitcoin and the 20 or 30 most important cryptocurrencies in the top 100 by market capitalization on Coinmarketcap.

Due to what has been explained, I recommend studying and learning more and more about the cryptographic markets before venturing to make any investment or trading (if we have decided to do it). Because what we will be putting at stake with each decision we make in each sense, will be our money itself.

So that's how serious we should be when we enter the world of online business.

I am surprised how you has learned by yourself. Something similar happens to me. I began to ask myself how to generare extra-income, as my job is part-time since almsot 7 years living in Hong kong.
When I discovered the potential of cryptocurrencies, after the painful long winter (2018-2019), I wanted to convinced some of my friends to enter in this profitable market. But after a terrible experience with a close friend I have convinced, even promising her to help in paying a debt if the coin were down... Oh my god, why I have opened my mouth. Months ago after the coin were down and down (one of my staking was this one: ADA), she asked me she wanted to sell. I have explained it was not a good moment to sell. After long discussions, I got tired to explain the importance of patience, and continue to buying in the low moment... I said, okay give me all your coins and I will take your debt, I will finish to pay for you. Later she was so exigent to received all her original money. My godness, even she tis me to approach the police to say i was scamming her. I have paid her. I think this were my big lesson to never open my mouth again. They will always find a way to make you guilty. After, nobody teaches me, I have learned everything online watching videos, taking notes, making lots of mistakes... So it is not worth to care about friends (specially friends) to show them a unique and potential opportunity.
These months are an opportunity to re-invest the most possible, every one taking their own risks. I don't want to say

Invest only what you are able to lost

because i don't think everyone is about to lost, but it is a kind of paying for learning.

Thank for sharing your experience!

I can fully understand your experience in every way. For this reason I do not advise anyone anything about online business (specially friends), instead of that I say to them that they need investigates on their own and learns for themselves the risks and benefits inherent to it.

There are things that just can't be taught to people, because they just have to learn them the hard way. I have understood that and it is one of the most valuable things that we must always remember about online business.

Thank you very much for reading and commenting on my post. Greetings.

Except that HIVE is not a top 20 or 30 and is the BEST of them all.

I work online too. Yes, I blog for HIVE but I also have other micro businesses.

It makes me just a little annoyed when people say things like "must be nice to stay home while your husband pays your bills." Well, as many of the bills that my husband pays, there is still my income which pays for utilities and groceries, and kids school things - so yes, it is nice to stay home, but I am still working.

Not unemployed.

Good statement, especially about Hive beeing the best crypto coin of all. 😋✌🏻
I am also working on building an online income within cryptoverse. At the beginning still but it is growing.
Regards Thomas

Good luck! My main online "hustle" pays in fiat.

I am slowly to web3.

I recently activated my Hive Hustlers Shop.

I am figuring out the system, and uploading some sticker designs (hopefully) today.

If you haven't checked it out yet:

Hive List Store

Good luck with your online business. Do you post about it? If yes, you found a new follower.

Well I am producing a Podcast with stories, news and learnings about investing, stocks and crypto. In addition I am doing a bit of Finance Blogging here on Hive. You can find everything (podcast episodes & articles) here in Hive.
Regarding the shop, I had a look atbthe link but didn’t find the stickers you were talking about.
Anyways, good luck with it!
Regards Thomas

Here are the ones available now.

https://hivelist.store/product-category/stickers/

My personal designs are still being uploaded :)

As far as your stories go @thelogicaldude runs the hivelist shop and there is a print on demand capability coming our way in August. Perhaps you'll be able to sell your stories as books here on hive!

Great to meet you here on the blockchain. I love how we can all build on here.

Excellent! Is there a guide on how to upload stickers to sell on hivelist?

Not that I've seen.

I have a redbubble shop so I already have the stickers on clear backgrounds, but honestly, am having a bit of an issue uploading the info.

I'll take notes and write a tutorial when I fully "get it."

The store has been around for a while, my navigating it is new.

I agree with you, but Hive is the only exception to the rule. For me Hive has enormous potential as a Cryptocurrency, as a project and as a platform, and I have said it repeatedly in many posts in the past (and I will continue to say it as many times as necessary).

As for the rest you mention, don't pay attention to people because, as I said in the post, most don't understand that working online is more profitable, comfortable and gives us more satisfaction than working in usually and conventional jobs; they just can't understand it no matter how much you explain.

Well, thank you for reading my post and commenting on it. Greetings.

Agree with you on the potential of Hive. 🙌🏻 But to unlock this potential we need even better marketing and a more stable crypto market again. And more killer apps like Splinterlands could also help. 😉
Regards Thomas

Everything will come little by little, but surely. Don't worry, Hive has enormous growth potential, beyond any expectation we may have and anything we may know.

I think that we should be optimistic and continue to contribute as much as we can to make Hive great as a cryptocurrency, platform and project, and this, from our angle of action, requires us to be as active as possible writing posts everyday, and also, commenting, voting and reblogging other people's posts on the platform. Also, the growth of Hive also requires that we Power Up whenever possible, we must never forget that.

Hive's success will happen gradually, slowly but certainly, in a sustainable and lasting way.

Thank you for reading, commenting and supporting my post. Greetings.
