How do you keep going when months of work bring in $0?

I’m currently in month four of building something of my own, and so far I’ve made $0.

I still follow my routine every day. I create, publish, learn, improve and repeat the same tasks, hoping they’re slowly building toward something. But when there’s no money and very little proof that it’s working, discipline is basically the only thing keeping you moving.

I’ve started thinking of it as a “fasting period.” You keep putting in the work without receiving the reward yet. Some days I trust the process, and other days I wonder whether I’m building something real or just repeating tasks that lead nowhere.

For anyone who went through this stage before seeing results, how did you deal with it? How did you know whether to stay consistent, change your approach or move on?

How do you build something after work when your job takes all your energy?

I’m currently working a full-time job, and the frustrating part isn’t only the money. It’s giving most of my time and energy to someone else, then coming home knowing I still need to build something of my own if I ever want my situation to change.

The problem is that by the time I get home, I have almost no energy left. I keep delaying my own projects until the weekend, but then the weekend never feels long enough.

If anyone has been in the same situation and found a way to manage their energy after work, I’d really appreciate some advice

Can livestreams help reach the 4,000 watch hours?

I’m thinking about starting livestreams on my channel, but I’m not sure if the watch time from public lives counts toward the requirement or if it’s actually an effective way to increase watch hours.

Has anyone here used livestreams to reach 4,000 hours? What type of live content worked for your channel, and how often did you stream?

Does anyone else plan a productive evening with zero energy?

I do this all the time. While I’m at work, I tell myself that when I get home I’ll work on my project for a few hours, go to the gym, and finish everything I’ve been delaying, Then I get home and my brain is completely done.

For a while I thought I was just lazy, but I think the real problem was expecting myself to have the same energy every evening.

Now, on bad days, I only choose one small thing. Maybe fix one title, write one page. Sometimes I end up doing more, sometimes I don’t. It’s not perfect, but at least I’m not quitting and restarting every week.

How do you decide what is enough after a full day of work?

What small habit quietly made your life easier?

For me, it was minimizing my social media use. I stopped using it for personal reasons and now mostly use it for work. That gave me a lot more free time to spend on other things.
