Something is not right!

Something is not right!

So today I got a dedication badge, this happen in a time that I am starting to doubt everything, my niche, my website, but not the industry.

18 months now since I started my website (in Arabic), I wrote over 40 articles and (How to), (10 Best...) in my niche. The result? $10 in my account.

I targeted the whole middle east to teach them how to play the guitar, and all my tutorials and articles are in Arabic. I even have an online course platform on my website using LifterLMS plugin, which is super by the way.

Ready to put this into action?

However, the fact is that most the middles east have a problem with credit card and banking system, so buying online is a big deal for them! That's what I discovered early on in the journey, and this is strike one.

Strike two is I live in Egypt, and Stripe don't run in here so I can't accept debit cards.

Honestly I am totally unmotivated to work on my website for the last 3 months and I am considering to shut the whole thing down, and focus on my online courses on Udemy, as my passive income is growing there each time I launch a new course.

Also my YouTube channel is under review to monetize my videos.

Can anyone here please help me decide what to do, or had the same problems? I could really use the help now.

Thanks a lot.
