i wasted $2000 :(

i already wasted about $2000 this year buying scripts hoping that i could make my website a success! no matter what i buy being programmer myself none of the scripts satisfy my expectations. From that day onwards i decided to make my own scripts myself and not to buy anything

Wasted - $500 (spent web design to some company)
Wasted - $1200 (buying 3-4 scripts like social network, etcc...)
Wasted - $300 (buying unnecessary hosting to learn linux)

how can i recover my money? At the end of the day, all my websites failed and its a disappointment!

 

You have 1,266 posts here, and being here for nearly 2 years and still wasting money, still be able to waste money?
Im sorry but;
Reread dp!

 

wowwww $2000 is a lot to a fellow like me.
Sorry to see it happen, and I hope you earn it back.

As for recovering it, make the same sort of scripts you bought, BETTER THEM, and sell them to people like yourself

 

sounds foolish? isnt it?
i started my sites with my own scripts, but nowadays i am not working hard hoping that somebody would do it for me. But it didnt work that way. It is a strange disorder in me, satisfied only with my own work and not work done by others. i dont know how to explain.

 

You got any instant messengers i can talk to u on old?

 

Well, nobody knows better than you on what you expect to see in a script. I feel the same way about hosting, I'll always host myself, no other host will be "good" enough.

 

How long are you in business?

You have to be very lucky to make fast money on the net in a short time doing what ever you do

Just have to wait and be patient

Get Motivated and consistency in what ever you do

Don't loose focus and give up

BUT it is all up to you to get success with your online biz

Good Lucvk

 

Well, it takes money to make money... use this as a learning experience. Plus I doubt everything mentioned was a "waste".

 

At a certain point you may have to accept less then perfection. You can always work hard to achieve improvements in your scripts that will help you obtain a level of satisfaction you find acceptable.

I am sorry for your losses. I can only hope after learning from this it will help you to refocus on a profitable venture.

 

Try Open Source for your web sites: Joomla, WordPress, etc. and just modify the code to your needs.

 

Maybe sell everything that as failed you and start with something new?

 

My rule is to never spend more money than I make online, that way I can never be at a lose. Never buy expensive scripts or hosting unless you really know your stuff. At the very least you learned something.

 

patience time and consistency

 

There are so many free scripts available , why did you need paid scripts.
Use this loss as an experience and don't lose heart.

 

That normal
Last time before i start earning,i have spend more than $500 alone for my offshore dedicated server/month.
Paying for the dedicated server for 3 month without earning a single cents from my website
But now i earn more than the server cost($500)

 

ouch that sucks u wasted all that.

 

i feel the same way except that i lost around 80 dollars.

 

ive lost, (well i wouldnt really call it lost!) quite a few hundred dollars thru teaching myself how this business works. i would say its been more of an investment really.

 

if you want something done right, do it yourself.

it's normal, being a programmer myself, I do buy some scripts. But I don't endorse buying pirated unlicensed scripts.

I do gamble or invest money which I can afford to lose.

 

here on DP not many people are willing to talk about their failure.
i don't think it foolish at all. what doesn't kill you make you stronger I guess.
