That viral Twitter thread about "just start a side hustle" still haunts me
I stumbled onto this thread a few months back where some guy was bragging about making $10k a month dropshipping and said anyone can do it in under 30 minutes a day. Sounded too good, but I gave it a shot anyways. After three days of setting up a Shopify store, I had spent like 12 hours total and still hadn't figured out how to get products from AliExpress without breaking some rule. The guy's whole angle was that it's easy money, but he didn't mention the $200 in ads I burned through with zero sales. Then I looked into reviews of his course and saw a bunch of people saying they lost even more money. That take is straight up dangerous for folks who don't know better. Has anyone else wasted time on one of those "hustle" threads that turned out to be a scam or just bad advice?

Call out @davis.olivia with me - that thread was pure garbage.

Burned $200 on ads with zero sales too... cheaper lesson than the course I almost bought though.
