I really appreciate your transparency about the number of businesses you’ve started, how many failed, and your determination to keep trying. It was very encouraging to see that failure really is part of the journey on your way to success. The entrepreneurship journey can be lonely at times, but it’s so important to accept that and to keep moving forward.
Wow dude, you and I have walked the same path for the past 20 years. Trying stuff, some works, most don't, but you keep trying. I love the term 'Try-apreneur'. You've had more success than I have, but you've tried more stuff than I have so you've inspired me to keep trying. You never truly fail anything until you stop trying it. Great video man. Keep it up, there are lots of guys like us on different levels.
I loved this video, mainly because it's so realistic and encouraging. I've been self employed since 2019, from a job I started as a hobby (medical writing). I've tried so many other ideas, and the majority have failed, but like you I've had the 5% of ideas that have carried me through. It's easy to forget that as an entrepreneur because failure becomes a regular part of your work, which wouldn't go over well in the corporate world.
No wonder you succeeded, you tried so many things. Most of them failed but you continued. And now you are huge success because of all the failures. Thank you for sharing!
very good video! trying stuff and acting is so much more valuable than to search for "the one brilliant idea" or wasing a ton on guru courses. kudos to you sirr
Really interesting and inspirational, it's easy to see someone successful and not see all the work and adventures that it took to get to that place. And just the sheer number of things that needed to be tried before the big one(s) stuck. Thanks sharing your stories Spencer!
Great video of 'real world' business experience! I have been at this for a while and have had a few little wins and losses. My biggest issue is always being afraid to jump into something and giving it 6+ months of commitment, in fear of (FOMO) wasting 6 months of my time going in the wrong direction. I recently made a decision to go all in on 2 things for the next 6 months that I feel will become a win for me. Thanks for the inspiration!
Thanks for sharing your story… congratulations on your successes. I hired a software developer to build a fitness application… it has gone on for so long and it has never launched. Unfortunately not having any experience with software development, I have no concept of how long a product should be launched. Won’t give up though. Thanks again, Rob
Very cool very inspiring! Who did u sell your businesses to and did you use a broker? As long as you profitable u can sell it? To who? Private equity? I would like to build to sell. Any reccomendation on what type you'd do to achieve a 7 fig sale? Thanks for this!
I was thinking of starting to do amazon FBA this Q4... I even bought a course lol but procrastinated and didn't do it... Your honest opinion is motivating me to do it...thank you
Great question, and that varies a lot by business model. However in general I would recommend a budget and timeline you are willing to invest in an idea. Maybe that's $5,000 and 6 months for example. If you aren't seeing traction when you hit your "budgets" maybe it's time to move on.
*Thanks for this video. I benefit from it every day. I made $55,000 this month from Google ETFs, Google, and the stock market. Thank you from the bottom of my heart*
Investing in Google gives a higher percentage of return than other types of investments, mainly Google ETFs, which mostly give weekly returns and have a good average return
Thanks for sharing. Here's mine and if they are still viable. My faceless did 220k views in November, and is not even a year old. Plus, it's affiliate based so I am doing so good! 1. TH-cam - 8 Years now 2. Niche Websites - not viable now. 3. Faceless TH-cam 4. Amazon Influencer - not viable now. 5. Amazon Affiliate Things that kinda work if I had more time. 1. Pinterest
@@niche-pursuits My thought is, it's very saturated. If you are already doing it adding more videos doesn't seem to make as much of an impact. If you are just starting out it's a lot harder to get decent results. Of course, if you are just going to do it for a few extra bucks and use stuff you already have then it could work, but I don't see anyone making a business out of it where you pay for products (unless you need them). Don't get me wrong, that program saved me, and you actually go me into it, so thank you for that. It's just not in that sweet spot for new influencers. I still do a few sponsored posts a month to keep it active if I want the item, but I don't go out of my way anymore. Why do you think it's still worth it?
DUDE!!! I'm SO much a Tryapreneur!! Thanks for helping me feel validated LOL But seriously, this was a great video. I love the compact info-filled, but also personal type of video. Are you okay with me putting Tryapreneur on a Tshirt? Not sure if you trademarked it or are planning to. You should for yourself. I have a merch account so I may throw one up today so I can order it and wear it in videos. I've been out of the game due to being a full-time caregiver but I am trying to get back on YT and want to have some good words for shirts.
Hello. Can you suggest me a market place where I can buy blogs that are already earning. I want to buy small blog which is already earning and grow the blog bigger.
Is there any clear videos on how to use links whispers new ai site map. I have link whisper but can't see a step by step video of how to use this feature
Thomas Edison was known for using the trial-and-error method, and he famously said, "I have not failed 10,000 times-I've successfully found 10,000 ways that will not work". He viewed each failure as a step closer to finding a solution that worked. Lesson for all of us!
There is always place for something good. If there is a bar next to your home it does not mean that there can’t be another one next to it. Good products and good attitude never fail.
Not everything is over saturated; there’s always a niche that can make good amount of money from an entrepreneur. Of course, the difficulty is finding the niche and then marketing your product.
I also made my first money online on eBay & then selling clothes on eBay & 2nd hand sites like Mercari & Depop. eBay I went niche during the holidays; it was when those little rubber bead bracelets with the white & black beads were SUPER viral popular? So I bought like 200 at wholesale & made a KILLING during Christmas! Like $500 my first week! I haven’t done eBay in an awhile since - this was about 8 years ago now? - but niche research is a big part of being successful online & I think that’s why a lot of people struggle… because they don’t understand that being able to make good money online REQUIRES educating yourself on markets & trends, as well as learning some aspects of seo & sales psychology. Sure, there are times where you shoot in the dark & take off, like post a viral video & sellout, but the long term stuff requires CONTINUALLY educating yourself.
Actually...yes. My software ideas are also the ones that I felt like I helped the end customers the most. I providing something that makes their lives easier, and that's fulfilling.
No, I'm definitely NOT the former owner of cashcrate. I said I tried to create a website similar to cashcrate, but it failed. It was something I tried for a few months, but never got much traction. And I agree, go to college! (I've got a couple of college degrees myself).
Which business idea has made YOU the most money?
I wish
Zero so far. But trying a directory website now.
@@amitjangra6454 Sounds interesting.
Niche websites- I learned that from you back in 2015 - thank you 🎉
Niche sites. I now have a seo agency. So far so good

Just came across your channel… love to hear about your failures and wins! I think we need to hear more like this!
Absolutely!!
A serial Try-a-ntrepreneur.? That’s epic!
You and me both!
Don't prospect for gold - sell the prospectors jeans. Worked for Levi-Strauss.
You’re an amazing inspiration Spencer. More people need to try without training like you.
Thank you so much, Dustin! I love your hustle as well.
Such an inspiration, your realness and true story is inspiring. I appreciate your sharing your journey, its encouraging
Thank you!
very good video! trying stuff and acting is so much more valuable than to search for "the one brilliant idea" or wasing a ton on guru courses.
kudos to you sirr
Absolutely!
Oddly enough I am at that stage where I've tried stuff and failed and feel like a failure. Thank you for this video.
Glad you enjoyed the video, I wish you all the best.

Who did u sell your businesses to and did you use a broker?
As long as you profitable u can sell it? To who? Private equity?
I would like to build to sell. Any reccomendation on what type you'd do to achieve a 7 fig sale?
Thanks for this!
Thanks man for revealing your experience....and being a try- preneuer....What an encouraging video..
I literally high fived you at my laptop when you said "One point eight million dollars..."
Great vid, very inspiring, wish I had your tenacity
Thank you so much!
I was thinking of starting to do amazon FBA this Q4... I even bought a course lol but procrastinated and didn't do it... Your honest opinion is motivating me to do it...thank you
Great! You probably don't even need the course. But since you have it, go through it and launch!
You earned a subscriber!
You have one of the best decorated background I’ve seen from TH-camrs !
Wow, thank you!
So inspiring! Loved hearing about the failures as it feels authentic. Thanks for the great content 😊
You are so welcome!
Love this so much!
Can't make hits if you don't swing the bat.
Exactly, thanks Brooks...and great doing an episode of Niche pursuits news with you last week!
Made my first $1 online using ETSY selling digital products. Haven’t made another buck since but it works 😊
The first dollar is the hardest.
Such a simple yet important message!! 👏🏻👏🏻
Oh hey... I love your blog!
I made $1.95 per day in November....I guess it's a start....
That is indeed a start!
How?
@@IDK_20245 Shopify, Etsy, Ads...
You have the best decored background
Your story comes at the right time thank you for sharing your journey
Thanks for watching!
Try medical billing! Top 15 jobs in demand, work from home or virtually. You can even have others do it all for you.
Forgive me for sounding stupid, but what is medical billing?
This is super encouraging man. Thank you.
Glad to hear it!
How do you know when to go all in and when to call it quits?

Amazing video!! I watched Codie Sanches on Lewis Howes and she says the same thing, try, fail fast and keep doing. Greetings from Brazil! 🇧🇷
Yep, gotta try things quickly to learn. Brazil! Awesome!
Thanks for this! 🙏
Very inspirational. Thanks for sharing.Very informational
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great to see a fellow preneur! Never in the millions but did 6 figures a few times!
That's awesome!

We've all been there.
This is a great and helpful video with great lessons ro learn from it
Thank
Glad it was helpful!
I was happy user of Long Tail Pro ❤
That's awesome!
You should read ‘Range’ book. It’s all about this sort of thing.
Thanks for the recommendation.

Hello. Can you suggest me a market place where I can buy blogs that are already earning. I want to buy small blog which is already earning and grow the blog bigger.
Sure, you can go to MotionInvest.com. In full disclosure, I'm a co-founder of that business.
you can buy all of my blogs if you wish lol but Flippa is one place to start

"Niche" is pronounced "neesh".
Depends which country you are from.
If you are in the US, it is "nitch". In every other country, it is "neesh"
Depends if you are saying it right or not :)
I'm a trypreneur as well, but haven't gotten rich. Working towards it every day though!
Keep it up...something will stick!
@@niche-pursuits you're so positive! Love it! We will keep going.

I've tried a ton of things and never made much money at any of them
Thank You so Much
You're most welcome
make a video how you can research niches.
Okay
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
just so you know, your video mentions aren't linked as you're describing.
Where do you hire your developers from?
Upwork, Codeable, Indeed, or niche job boards.
everything is dead or oversaturated. The only thing left is grifting and selling the fantasy of making money online
There is always place for something good. If there is a bar next to your home it does not mean that there can’t be another one next to it. Good products and good attitude never fail.
There's not a single software idea, ecommerce idea, service idea, community idea...nothing? That seems pretty negative.
there is always place for something. there are millions of books out there... and people still write and sell books.
Not everything is over saturated; there’s always a niche that can make good amount of money from an entrepreneur. Of course, the difficulty is finding the niche and then marketing your product.
*WHOOSH* right over your head 🥴

Even if I make millions I don't want to sell pillows
Sounds good to me.
can you tell us best businesses for 2025
who is the owner of niche pursuits? you or the other guy in the podcast channel?
I'm the owner of Niche Pursuits (I'm Spencer Haws). I hired Jared (the guy on the podcast channel) to do the podcast hosting for me.
17 out of 19 businesses fail in the first 5 years. But that means 2 succeed.
Only to fail in 3 more years…
💯
Long Tail Pro used to be good but it's terrible now. No customer service and nothing works anymore.
I agree, its sad.
❤❤
Do the 3 that made you the most money the ones which brought you most fulfillment? Be honest wth me here.
Actually...yes. My software ideas are also the ones that I felt like I helped the end customers the most. I providing something that makes their lives easier, and that's fulfilling.
so you're former owner of cashcrate? you're total scammer. bs person this is. go complete your college guys. this person knows nothing.
No, I'm definitely NOT the former owner of cashcrate. I said I tried to create a website similar to cashcrate, but it failed. It was something I tried for a few months, but never got much traction. And I agree, go to college! (I've got a couple of college degrees myself).
If you are rich, what are you doing on youtube and not enjoying your lives somewhere with someone? Thank you.
1 video a week on youtube isn't exactly backbreaking work. But yes, I do enjoy life with my lovely wife and 4 children.
Elon musk is worth OVER 400 BILLION and somewhere with Donald Trump….
Let that sink in
Can anyone here help me with $10000?
Help you what? Spend it? Sure. Do you want a link to my website?
