Can Online Business Really Earn Money? #3
Yes and no.
“The Internet is a SCAM, ONLY IF YOU…”
Heard of this phrase before?
Everything sounds too good to be true, earning money from the internet?
That’s definitely taking your money away! Lol….
Depend how much are we talking about here, earning money, talking about making a million dollars or earning from the internet is subjective.
I was 16 when the internet was exposed to me.
I remembered i wanted to earn extra quick bucks,
so i went on the internet and googled – “How to make money online”,
Right after i ended my 12-hour shift in a retail store, selling watches to anybody for a measly pay.
In 2014, to me as a 17-year-old boy, with no real-world experience, earning 3k as a part-time sales representative,
The amount was KING (at least to me) because the commission was so good and i just had to put in more hours than required to achieve the target.
I swear i was MAD tired, but i was even hungrier for money.
N-O-T-H-I-N-G else matter.
My First Encounter
(with the internet)
Stefan James was the name – https://stefanjames.com/
He was an online entrepreneur, life and business coach, and affiliate marketer.
The advertisment that caught my attention was knowing that i could ‘write’ a book with my name as an author, without consuming knowledge, and post it on Amazon!
Amazing, isn’t it?
My mind was blown. I was hooked. Time to get down to work.
I spent the rest of the week devouring every single article on every ebook,
…and heavily in his youtube channel (Project Life Mastery - https://www.youtube.com/projectlifemastery)
If you’re into mindset and self growth, PLM is definitely one of the channel i strongly encourage to subscribe to.
During this research phase, I fell into the rabbithole when i found out that i needed an audience.
I was upset. I was disappointed. I was lost.
How do i bloody find an audience? I don't engage on socials like Twitter/Insta/Facebook!
And, i gave up.
Here’s what i failed to see:
Building an audience is a skillset. Building an audience is NOT a business model.
I allowed limiting beliefs about my own abilities to create an online audience, to stop me
My thoughts go like this:
“Can this even work?”
“It’s taking damn long to build an audience”
“I have to do this, do that, do those, where got time”
“Who the hell does this?”
Crazy, right? i was going insane with these thoughts LOL
Lesson:
To create, you need talent. To begin, you need passion.
How i make 10k in 2 months…
- Said every marketer ever
Im here to tell you, this is not a quick-fix method to solve your problems.
There is no blooody way to be an expert in something, without the fundamentals with consistency.
Easy come, easy go (apply this to everything)
Let's get straight why we’re here
You want to earn money? Internet money?
You came to the right place,
Here you go.
There are 10 skills you can learn,
Coding and Programming
Graphic Design
Content Writing and Copywriting
Video Editing
Photography
High Ticket Remote Closing
Coaching
Affiliate marketing
Personal Branding
Dropshipping
Other than affiliate marketing - i personally learned High Ticket Closing, Dropshipping, and Copywriting.
So you might be wondering, why these 3?
Glad you asked.
Personally, the barrier of entry for Copywriting and HTC is low, except for dropshipping.
Reason being - ANY businesses require sales and marketing,
Copywriting can be used in any type of business -
Brick and Mortar
Franchise
Online
Whatever you name it, you got it
High Ticket Closing = Remote closing or sloppy word to say (Sales for High Tickets)
Which business doesn’t need sales?
Sales is LITERALLY everywhere, don’t tell me otherwise
There are TEENAGERS selling images for hundreds of dollars each
Full-blown companies selling emails they didn't write for thousands
Hundreds & Thousands of ‘Creators’ are selling their ‘dignity’ for millions (iykyk)
What's your excuse?
WHATS YOUR BLOOOOOODY EXCUSE?!
Pardon me, im angry at myself, really.
I started, but i didn’t preserve
…and i don't want you to fall into the same trap that i did.
Life’s gonna teach you a lesson if you don’t take the chances that you get.
If you’re interested to build an online business or a skillset that you can leverage,
want to have one or multiple streams of income,
or waking up wherever and whenever you want,
without asking for permission from another being or relying on an alarm clock ever again,
I have a system that will get you there…
