Some people spend years building slow, steady businesses. Others see an opportunity, act fast, and make in months what others earn in years. Who’s right? The answer might surprise you.

Let’s break it down.

1. The ChatGPT Gold Rush (And Why It Wasn’t Just Luck)

When ChatGPT first blew up, a wave of resellers (middlemen) jumped in to sell access, tutorials, and “secret” AI knowledge to people in markets where information was scarce. They made a killing.

Of course, some people called it quick money, dismissing it as unsustainable. But here’s the kicker 👉 These “short-term” hustlers made more in three months than most people made in three years.

And now? ChatGPT’s hype has cooled, but guess who’s still profiting? Those same middlemen—now selling AI-generated content and new automation strategies. They didn’t just chase trends; they built networks and audiences. When they drop a new product, people buy.

Lesson: It’s not just about what you sell. It’s about building demand and positioning yourself as the go-to person.

2. Action Beats Hesitation Every Time

Too many people get stuck waiting for the perfect opportunity. Take e-commerce, for example.

Ever heard someone say, “I want to sell on Tiktok, but I don’t have a supplier yet”? Meanwhile, factories on 1688 (China’s wholesale marketplace) are drowning in unsold inventory and this is where the middleman joins the game.

If you want to do e-commerce, why don't you:

✔️ Listing a product first, seeing if it sells, and then securing stock?

✔️ Partnering with a supplier and dropshipping until you figure it out?

✔️ Reselling someone else’s product as an affiliate for commissions?

......

There are many ways to start, all you need is STOP WORRIED. Which one is riskier: losing a few sales or never starting at all?

3. The ‘Middleman’ Stigma Is a Lie

People love to hate on resellers, but here’s the truth:

✅ No traffic? You’re just a middleman.✅ Lots of traffic? Now you’re a “marketing expert.”

The only difference between being a random seller and a business strategist is how much attention you control.

Here’s the reality:

• Right now, business owners with warehouses full of unsold goods are desperate for online sellers.
• If you can move their products, they’ll beg you to partner with them.
• The “middleman” model isn’t just a side hustle—it’s how entire industries work (real estate agents, wholesalers, even Amazon itself).

Instead of waiting to create the perfect product, learn how to sell first. Once you’ve got an audience, then you can be picky.

Making Money Changes Your Perspective. The harsh truth is: If you’re not making money, you’re not seeing how the world really works.

Execution beats ideas. Speed beats hesitation. Middlemen aren’t just hustlers—they’re connectors. And in business, connectors always win.

So, what are you waiting for?
