i've tried every online business model over the past 4 years. here's what actually happened with each one.
dropshipping (2021):
the dream: passive income, laptop lifestyle, automated wealth.
the reality: i lost $3,200 in 4 months.
spent $1,100 on facebook ads before my first sale. product took 3 weeks to arrive from china. customer was furious. wanted a refund. supplier ghosted me. second supplier sent the wrong item. margins were 12-18% IF nothing went wrong. nothing ever went right.
i was a customer service rep for a business that was bleeding money. woke up to angry emails every morning. "passive income" is a sick joke when you're begging aliexpress suppliers to respond.
killed it after month 4.
SMMA (2022):
"just get clients bro. easiest money ever."
landed 3 clients. $2,100/month total.
cold outreach 4 hours daily. discovery calls with people who had no intention of paying. one client expected me available 24/7. another ghosted after 5 weeks owing me $600. the third kept changing what they wanted every 3 days.
i was trading time for money with extra steps and extra stress. basically an employee with worse benefits and no stability. the profit margin was fine. the time margin was garbage.
quit after 5 months.
freelancing (2022):
figured i'd just sell my skills directly. copywriting. some design work.
feast or famine every single month. spent more time finding clients than doing actual work. competed with people overseas charging $4/hour for the same deliverable. income stopped completely the second i stopped working. no leverage. no scale. no compounding.
made around $2,800/month at peak. but i was working 45+ hours. that's a job with worse benefits and no PTO.
affiliate marketing (2022):
promote other people's products. earn commission. sounds simple.
20-30% commission on products i didn't control. built audiences for other people's brands. they changed commission rates twice in 3 months without warning. had no relationship with the customers. they were never my customers. made $143 in 4 months of effort.
realized i was building someone else's empire for pennies and they could pull the rug whenever they felt like it.
amazon FBA (researched, never started):
$4-6K minimum just to get inventory. amazon fees eating margins alive. reviews could tank you overnight. competing with chinese manufacturers selling direct at cost. needed photos, packaging, listing optimization, PPC campaigns. and one bad batch of product could wipe out months of profit.
spent 2 weeks researching. closed the tab. moved on.
print on demand (2022):
designs on shirts and mugs. no inventory. sounds perfect.
margins were 8-14% per sale. needed massive volume to make real money. designs got stolen within days of posting them. quality control was completely out of my hands. got 3 complaint emails about faded prints i'd never even seen in person.
made $280 in 2 months. not worth the effort at those margins.
crypto/trading (on and off 2021-2023):
let's be honest. this is gambling with extra charts. made some money. lost more money. net result: stress, wasted time, and a portfolio that looked like a heart rate monitor.
not a business. it's a casino that makes you feel smart on green days and stupid on red ones.
then i found info products on X. late 2023.
everything changed immediately. here's what hit different:
profit margins: 90-95%.
i sell a $50 product. gumroad takes 10%. stripe takes roughly $2. i keep $43 per sale. digital products have the highest profit margins of any business model that exists. nothing else is close.
zero inventory:
nothing to store. nothing to ship. nothing to manufacture. nothing to break in transit. customer buys, instant download, done. i've made sales while sleeping, on flights, in the shower, at dinner.
create once, sell forever:
i made a PDF one afternoon. that same file has made $38K and counting. haven't opened it since i uploaded it. same product selling every week to new people without me touching anything.
no clients:
no calls. no "can we hop on a quick zoom." no scope creep. no chasing invoices. no managing expectations. someone buys my product. they get instant access. relationship complete.
no face required:
i run faceless accounts. no selfies. no "day in my life" content. no personal brand to maintain. just value in a specific niche delivered through tweets i write in 14 minutes a day.
scalable:
i don't run one account. i run multiple. different niches. different voice profiles. same system underneath. each one generates its own revenue stream.
sellable:
faceless accounts sell for 30-40x monthly revenue. a $1,400/month account is a $42K-$56K asset. personal brands can't do this. when you ARE the product the business dies when you leave. faceless accounts are transferable machines.
the formula:
step 1: find a specific niche where people are already spending money. not what sounds cool. what people are actively paying to learn.
step 2: stalk reddit for 30 minutes. find the same complaint being posted by different people in different words. 200+ upvotes on a complaint means thousands of people have the same problem.
step 3: build the simplest version of the solution. a google doc. a template. a PDF. ugly is fine. functional is mandatory. first product should take one weekend.
step 4: price it $34-$67. under $34 people assume it's garbage. over $67 they hesitate long enough to talk themselves out of it.
step 5: faceless X account. bio says who you help and what result you deliver. link goes straight to telegram with the free guide pinned and the paid product underneath.
step 6: 3 tweets a day. 1 CTA. community does the selling. backend does the converting.
my results after switching to this model:
month 1: $227 (almost quit)
month 3: $3,800
month 6: $7,400/month consistent
month 8: 3 accounts combined doing $27,400/month
i spent 4 years and $8,600+ trying every model that promised freedom. dropshipping took my money. SMMA took my time. freelancing took both. affiliate marketing built someone else's brand. none of them compounded. none of them scaled without me working more hours.
info products on faceless X accounts compound every single day. the community grows. the proof grows. the conversion grows. the revenue climbs without the effort climbing with it.
i documented the entire system. finding niches that print. creating products in a weekend. content that converts without showing your face. the backend architecture. the algorithm breakdown. DM scripts. pricing framework. scaling to multiple accounts. 45 modules. it's called the X Method. $50.
comment METHOD and i'll send you the link. must be following + RT.
or keep trying dropshipping. let me know how that works out.
Most traders sell their losers when they want to buy something new.
That's the wrong move.
Here's the framework for deciding exactly which position to sell, and why the entry price is irrelevant.
[link in reply]
I realised this about myself 18 months into trading.
I didn't have a strategy. I had a history.
Every position made sense when I bought it. But together they made no sense at all.
No logic. No ranking. No way to know which one to sell when something better came along.
The question that changed everything: "compared to what I already hold, does this deserve my capital?"
Almost nobody asks it before they buy.
Do you have a system for this?
Most traders sell their losers when they want to buy something new.
That's backwards.
A position being down doesn't make it a bad hold. A position being up doesn't make it a good one.
The only question that matters: would you buy this at today's price if you didn't already own it?
Here's the framework for answering that objectively 👇
Most trading losses aren’t from bad research.
They’re from holding 14 “pretty good” positions when something genuinely great comes along.
No capital. No clarity. Just a portfolio that happened.
We built a tool to fix that…
$NEET conviction score: 82/100
Product quality: 5/10 - pure meme, no illusions
Mainstream potential: 8/10 - the narrative is spreading
Return vs target: 9/10 - room to run at current MC
Social reach: 9/10 - community is loud and growing
Tokenomics: 10/10 - supply is clean, no unlock risk
The framework doesn't care if it's a meme.
It cares whether the opportunity is better than what you already hold.
82 says it is.
What would you score differently?

Bigger Than Previous Funds COMBINED!
The Third TradFi RWA Fund is now tokenized on Memento ZK Chain 🏛️
On track to onboarding Billions in TradFi funds onchain.
$DEXTF
Earlier today, we attended an invite-only roundtable with Project Guardian members, focusing on the transformation of international capital markets through blockchain technology!
The discussions centered on Project Guardian and the future of onchain finance, with @DeutscheBank providing updates on DAMA 2 developments.
This collaborative dialogue brought together leading global regulators and TradFi institutions shaping the future of digital assets. Among the key participants were:
Policymaker Group:
🔹FCA (UK's regulator)
🔹FSA (Japan's regulator)
🔹ASIC (Australia's regulator)
🔹MAS (Singapore's regulator)
Financial Industry Group:
🔹JP Morgan
🔹UBS
🔹Schroders
🔹Deutsche Bank (DAMA)
🔹Franklin Templeton
Being in the room with these major institutions reinforces our conviction: the tokenization of capital markets is inevitable. Memento's market-ready infrastructure is positioned to help bring Billions in TradFi funds onchain 🏛️
