# 📓 Week 3 of My Journey — Wins, Losses, Next Moves _Papers done. Back on the grind. Here’s where I’m at._ * * * So my papers are over. I’ve been working hard — but honestly, not up to the mark or standard I set for myself on day 01. **Where I started:** 2 Shorts channels and a dropshipping thing. **Shorts channel #1 — failed badly.** That one’s on me. I convinced myself it wouldn’t work and I just stopped posting. Self-sabotage. **Shorts channel #2 — going a little bit good.** Not great, but moving. **Dropshipping — failed.** Got 5k+ impressions, zero conversions. I didn’t use AI for ads research at all, did everything myself. The mistake: I targeted only a few areas where I _thought_ conversions would happen. Miscalculated. I’ve got the money back now and I’ll try again with a different approach. I’m spending on proxies and ads out of my own pocket — the same money I should be spending on university expenses. **I’m not saying this to ask for money.** I’m saying it because a lot of people tell themselves _“I don’t have money, I don’t have this, I don’t have that”_ as a reason to never start. Just start trying — and inshallah the reward will come. **Long-form YouTube channel (from Week 2 plan) — failed.** IP got banned. I didn’t use a proxy, just used a random IP from my ISP. In 3rd world countries like mine, there’s no such thing as a static IP for anything. * * * **🎯 Next Goals** - Start **2 more Shorts channels** in different niches — content already in prep - Start **2 long-form channels** — this week if possible, next week for sure - Restart **ads** with a different strategy Instagram accounts failed for both niches (will mention which ones in the next update). * * * **🙏 Need Help — Community Question** If I want to run a channel in 2 or 3 languages, can I make **3 accounts on the same proxy + same Gmail** without it causing views/engagement issues? Anyone with experience — drop a reply. Otherwise I’ll just test it and report back next week. * * * **📸 Proof / Screenshots** ![Screenshot_3](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/b/8/b87a643c530078ce9ff94be9ad1852c82fe13df8.png) ![Screenshot_4](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/3/3/337cacbfe358f58ca8a1edaa0638dcf42549a040.png) ![Screenshot_5](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/f/5/f5522c51050c44f9d1855a6c436cfb7298f9c832.png) ![Screenshot_6](https://onehack.st/uploads/default/original/3X/6/9/69ccd315b82bcbccb5b5c0d0e9275f3a3120a76d.png) * * * _Week 3 down. Losses logged, lessons banked. See you next week._ 📓 ---
