    Okay so here's the deal... mental health is a real deal, is it not? Especially when battling your day to day fighting ptsd, ocd, beyond lack of self confidence and depression all while on top of being a stay at home mother and wife.
    With time on my hands I've decided to attempt to start an at home business reviewing 420 products, bongs, pipes, vapes, cleaning materials, methods, and such. I've completed a few nessasary tasks in starting up but am stuck... I'd really like to find a mentor who'd be willing to work through the baby steps with me until I have the basics down. Although I have goals in mind, this is not a necessary thing, it's more of something for myself, something to be proud of, something I wanted to do for me for once..
     
  2. I dunno anything about building a site but I know about finding a way to live for something or someone besides urself. Hope all turns out good for ya sounds like ya got a strong supportive family behind ya. Good luck.
     
  3. Have you ever been so depressed you questioned your purpose on earth? You knew you didnt want to die, but at the same time you knew you didnt want to be here? You knew one doctor was going to give you a bottle of pills while one plant would give you a better pillow (hypothetically). So instead you opt for the plant, why? 3 kids, a husband, 2 dogs, sisters and my parents.. that's why.

    Well these reviews are going to be a barrel of laughs, aren't they?
    I mean unless I'm mistaken from what you're saying here...it's a bit shitty of you to attribute your family to your need to have weed when it seems like financially they're the ones that are supporting your habit.

    Seems like you've fallen into the role of the family babymaker...it is what it is, accept it.
    I can see why you're opting for something like a home based business/activity, because I doubt you get out all that much with the clan of small people hanging off you.

    So your main issue is financial...because if you want to review things, at a time it'll be relevant to do so...ideally you want to buy, and keep buying units, when they are new and arguably at the height of their expense - if you're not staying ahead of the curve there, then you'll just be "every other google review".
    So unless you can do that - and I'd say with a range of smoking/cannabis products, different technology, edibles, not just bongs.
    You could always consider asking businesses for products to review...but that might be a hard push considering all the scamming idiots out there that would give the same line/s in order to score free shit - and without an existing review channel/site, you're going to be difficult for them to differentiate from that.

    I'd suggest potentially a youtube channel in terms of more traffic...but even then it's fraught with problems I'm thinking you haven't considered yet.

    So you're gonna need at least half decent camera.
    Supplies/products for a couple months worth of weekly, or bi-weekly videos.
    A quiet place without children running around for you to film.
    Ideally some viewers...I know you can supposedly pay certain sites to make more searches come up with you as a result...is that possible with youtube?
    Do you know how to stay on point, and present yourself for such an endeavour?

    If you get lucky, you get lucky.
    Though if it's bongs and weed paraphenalia you're playing huge odds.
    There's already excellent online stores and sites that both have product reviews, how-to's and instructional videos both on their sites and their youtube channels.
    They'll have the products before you will and people that are employed to test them so that they can continue adding to their content ASAP, they'll have marketing departments greasing wheels to make this happen.

    Are you in a state where its legal to grow?
    Might be a better idea.
    Keep your habit paid for.
    It's not unheard of to make a few bucks this way...not that we can discuss that here...
    and it would keep you busy-ER...though you do have children?

    Thing is...can you keep up with that, the kids, and whatever else you need to be doing in your life?

    Maybe you just like, need to start/join a community garden or something.
    Get out of the house more and let the kids grow while learning about some practical skills, cookery, and get active in the community...you'd probably find this rewarding, you'd lessen your consumption and you might feel some kind of sense of purpose outside the label of being a wife and mother - while you make what could turn out to be valuable connections and friendships.
    Even a free online course, or a paid one...hit the gym when the kids are asleep. Anything.
    You seem depressed - and more time and work at home aint gonna fix that.

    I mean...I'll be honest with you...I don't think the other thing will work, there's already too much official representation of this kind of thing, just hit up google or youtube and you'll see, and there's plenty more people that just want to be getting paid to get stoned.

    With time on my hands I've decided to attempt to start an at home business reviewing 420 products, bongs, pipes, vapes, cleaning materials, methods, and such- my husband's work hours and children's sleep schedule collide along with my insomnia...

  5. Step 1 start a YouTube channel

    Step 2 contact every cannabis related manufacturer, looking for free "stuff" to review .

    Step 3 start reviewing and do a good job.

    Once you get a couple happy clients more will come. Don't expect this to explode overnight though. Most businesses start small and grow over time.

    Also, make sure you keep on top of contacting manufacturers for more products to review.

  6. Everyday, and i have kids, wife and a dog
     
  7. CheebaWeeba has some strong points, except for “Seems like you've fallen into the role of the family babymaker...it is what it is, accept it.“ Saying it is what it is, is basically saying there is nothing you can do about it. Family, kids, even family pets can bring happiness, but they can also be a “source” of frustration that can cause anxiety, depression, irritability if you have no outlet, so I understand what you want to do. You are much more than “just the family baby maker”. With that being said, in my opinion, the times we are in are built for social media. It does take money to make money, but, with the drive, passion, and effort, you can accomplish a lot. You tube, though extremely competitive, is a good outlet. You can find it fun at first recording and watching, editing yourself and all you need is a phone, computer, and internet connection. With any social media job or reviewing job you have to have a big fan base. So you can work on that without money, just personality. As with anything, you have to start somewhere, and the sooner the better. Doing something like this could help, but beware if you’re looking for instant money or instant fame, doing this can add depression and or anxiety. Be open and positive with your journey. By coming here and opening up I can tell you are a person with a good heart. Good luck and happy New Year. I’ll look for your YouTube channel and give support.
    All said Imho.... take care
     
  8. Id watch it, also theres tons of shit to review already, you can review rolling papers, blunt wraps etc and it dont cost much. Id recommend keeping it loose formatted. I only smoke blueberry swishers, change my mind.

  11. Start by reviewing things you already own. Thats pretty cheap but spend your time on production value. Then contact people to see if they are interested and build from there. Don't be upset when companies tell you no, you are after all asking for free. Have an angle. Funny, scientific, crazy outfit, something that makes people want to follow rather than a random search it. But do it as a hobby, that will eventually bring you some side bonus. If you try to do this straight up it will be difficult.
