I'm 36. Most of my friends own apps or ecommerce stores, and for as long as I can remember I wanted to be like them. Or at least pull in some real money from something digital instead of staying salaried forever. So I tried. A lot. Over the years I had 4 ecommerce sites, one Amazon FBA, 3 apps, and I put out 2 Amazon KDP books. Most of it worked, technically. It just barely worked. A few hundred bucks here and there, and three of them flopped completely. The worst part wasn't even the money....
