And basically feel like i made a mistake. I trusted a friend. I created a webpage, and spent more money advertising. I'm a fool. But now i have people interested but not making the move, so I'm torn.

Should i keep trying to sell a business idea, or should I close down my page and just take the loss?

Supposedly people are making hundreds of thousands. I'm missing something, i haven't made a dime. Spent money i can't get back. And I'm suffering because of it.

Dear Aviza,

I can definitely, definitely empathize with what you must be going through because of unhappy personal experience. Wish I knew what to say that would help!

Sincerely yours, Yao Wen

Hey @Aviza is this a multilevel marketing scheme? Many women get caught up in trying to make money by spending money and the idea is to get recruits or your "downline" to make money and you get some of the profits.

Accept your loss. Sure someone maybe make some money on these things but most people lose

Avisa, it can take months to years for a small business to become profitable. Start up costs can be considerable. If you truly have customers lined up, it may be good to try and stick it out to profitability, but only if you have the energy to really keep going and make it work. Running your own business is A LOT of work.
