Summary
- Making money online can start immediately by offering services, without needing a large audience or heavy traffic.
- Three primary ways to earn online include affiliate marketing, selling products, and offering services. Services can start from scratch without an existing audience.
- Building content online is like a future investment but can be slow at first. Offering services can generate income quicker.
- Start with offering simple services, such as content writing, SEO, link building, or marketing for local businesses, which typically don't have strong marketing strategies.
- For more immediate income, aim to have a few clients paying $2,000 to $3,000 a month, using niches like local businesses or small e-commerce brands.
- Mick and Molly are notable examples of success, making significant monthly earnings ($15K to $50K) through service-based business models.

How To Take Action
Starting with Low-Cost, High-Value Steps
I would suggest offering simple services online to make money quickly. You don't need a big audience or lots of traffic to start. Begin with services like content writing, SEO, or marketing for local businesses, which often lack strong strategies.
Think about aiming to get a few clients that pay you $2,000 to $3,000 each month. Local businesses or small e-commerce brands can be good targets for this. These types of clients usually need help but might not have the time or know-how to do it themselves.
A good way to find your first clients is to build a list of potential leads. Use tools like Hunter or Apollo to find contact information. For contacting them, try sending friendly, casual cold emails highlighting how you can help solve their problems.
During client meetings, focus on understanding their needs and pain points. This will help you tailor your offer specifically to them. Also, when you price your services, use a "good, better, best" tier system. It often helps clients to choose the middle option.
Once you get the hang of it, and after you’ve done a few projects by yourself, gradually hire help. Outsource tasks to maintain high profit margins while freeing up your time. And remember, over time, leverage your resources to build personal projects that might bring passive income.

in this video I'm covering how to make money online from day one so I'm going to show you some of our student wins too so this is people who just started out with no experience and started making up to $155,000 a month with the strategies outlined in this video so we have a lot to cover you know this is the business model that made me my first 100K online back in 2019 and it was the launching pad to a million doll a year blog and a multi-million dollar a year YouTube channel this one right here so when you think about creating content we know that Google is the biggest search engine in the world we know that YouTube is number two but what are the ways we can monetize a business from day one without needing all of that traffic and Views well let's get creative let's get into it so a really quick backstory when we think about the ways that we can make money online you know passive income the word has been around since like 2006 2007 it's 2024 it still exists but how do we make money online well there's really just three ways it's really simple you either sell someone else's product so that's affiliate marketing and ads you sell your own product so that could be e-commerce or a course or you sell services so with selling someone else's product affiliate marketing and ads you need traffic you need to build content right if it's YouTube videos or blog posts you need to get views and attention to get people to click links to buy things same thing with ads it takes a lot of traffic to make money so second is selling your own product now to sell your own product whether it's e-commerce or a course that also takes time you have to build an actual audience you have to sell a course to people that know like and trust you which takes time it can take a year or two to build enough trust with an audience and create consistent content to do that so the Third Way is Services Services is the only one where you can start from zero without an audience so you don't need some huge resume or a bunch of testimonials you can start selling simple Services really from the very beginning this is how I first got excited about starting an online business I remember I was working fulltime working for a software company in Austin and I was driving to work and I realized like I started doing some blogging I started I built a website and I started doing some simple services for other software companies so I was doing link building I was writing a lot of guest posts and I was just doing link building for different companies but I was driving to work I was doing the math in my head and I was like you know the quickest way to leave my job would not be to try to get a bunch of passive income at the beginning it would be to get two to three clients under my belt two to three people paying $2 to $3,000 a month each I did the math in my head and I realized this is actually quite possible if if I had three clients paying me $3,000 each that's $9,000 a month over $100,000 a year like I would love to do that and not have to drive an hour to work every day so when you're just starting out we want to build content putting content out there whether in YouTube videos or blog posts is like little investments into your future that will pay you back over time but when you're just starting out sometimes it can be disheartening when you're not getting traffic and Views in the first 3 to 6 months so selling services is a good way to do this why not offer what you're doing but for people a little bit further ahead than you so you're going to be doing the same thing anyways so why not charge brands for it and make money yourself so I want to show you a couple student wins to show you that no you don't have to be an expert you don't have to be some crazy content expert to get people to pay you to do stuff you just need to learn it and then implement it for others so this is Mick he's working right now to grow his agency to $50,000 a month he's currently sitting at $155,000 a month he's learning in one of our communities and you know he's just killing it it's really about client work delegation getting you know this agency business model is getting other people to do some of the work for you so that you can kind of manage this as a business so that's 15K a month here's Molly she disappeared and came back from her epic win she signed a single client for a 5k a month retainer got paid uh close to closing a couple more as well here's Diva she hit 5K as well launching her Niche website in June setting up workflows and processes Clos two deals worth 2500 each and there are tons and tons T and tons of other students doing the exact same thing coming in with really no experience and coming in and selling services after they learn the process of how to do it if you're interested in learning more about that plus all of the AI blogging Stuff how to start a real online business in the 2020s make sure to click the link in the description below I'll send you my 10 favorite AI prompts and my free AI master class so you can start doing all of this stuff for yourself once and for all all right so that all sounds pretty cool but what the heck are we actually doing well we're going to cover what we're selling how to sell it how to how to close it how to do the work and it's actually a lot simpler than you might think so first is what are we actually selling when we're talking about simple Services of this agency business model well we can sell a number of different things it's really based on the strengths what you're comfortable with I'm going to cover some in detail so first is content writing so very simple if you want to write blog posts why not write them for somebody else and get paid for it that's the first one and there's a lot of AI tools I'll show you later in this video that can do a lot of the heavy lifting for you at the beginning especially you going from keyword to a draft where you're just Ed editing and Publishing there's actually some agencies that are using tools like machine. to publish thousands of articles for bigger Brands now so it's really easy it's a new kind of thing so another one is like keyword research in the content strategy so if we're talking about making money with you know services for blogs and websites there's really two things you're either doing the implementation of the work so the writing itself or you're kind of driving the strategy so you're doing keyword research you're doing the fullon content strategy what keywords are we going after what's the blog what's the content calendar all of that that requires a little bit more experience but it's another service and it can be higher value sometimes the strategy is higher value than just the implementation another one is just SEO in general so local businesses are not very good at marketing so you think about the local dentist office the pizza place the local Law Firm Accounting Office all of them don't really know much about marketing they're busy running their business they're actually the easiest local businesses are like the easiest uh potential audience to serve because they might not pay you $5,000 a month but they could pay you $1,000 a month to do very simple services for them so we'll cover what all of these are uh another one is link building so you can do link building for any type of brand an Ecommerce Company software company a Blog any of those I've had clients that were software companies and e-commerce Brands and some other big content sites that were buying links from me and you can get creative think of your strengths like some of the agency services that I have paid for specifically are things like YouTube short editing so short form videos you know the ones with like the the captions on the bottom edit those and publish them for a Creator boom that could be A5 to $6,000 up to $10,000 a month agency model if you if you do it right or YouTube thumbnails maybe you're really good at graphic design and you want to create thumbnails that's an entire thing that you could offer as well YouTube strategy YouTube scripting sales funnel optimization so let's say there's a Creator and you're good at setting up sales funnel so it's really it's all kinds of marketing Services you just have to find the one that you like and the audience that you want to serve so we're going to get into how to actually find these companies and these people but first we have to kind of talk about one distinction that's the difference between an agency and just freelancing so with freelancing you are doing all the work yourself you're doing all the writing you're doing all the implementation of the work it's just you solopreneur with the agency model you are managing the business as a business owner and you might have one to two to five other people doing the work so you're not doing the busy work and doing the content writing you are getting new clients negotiating the sale meeting with them once a month making sure they're happy and just running a business so that's really the only distinction is freelancing is solo which you can do agency is eventually hiring more people and scaling it out and what's great about the agency business model it's very scalable you bring on a client you know you do everything yourself for your first client we'll cover exactly how to get started once you start bringing in 2 three 4 the number of clients just scales up with the number of people that are employed or helping you so it's really that simple speaking of making money with your website today's video is brought to you by wpx so if you're a blogger or you plan to sell digital products online you're going to need a good shopping cart so wpx

response rate so really fast now make sure to click the wpx link in the description for more information on wpx hosting so we covered a little bit about the services you can offer we'll get into more of that in detail but first we need to build a target audience right what is the audience that you want to serve so we're going to cover the different personas and the different people you'll be reaching out to again this is Outreach do you need a website you don't even really need a website for this so this is a way to make money blogging or make money online but you don't necessarily need a website this is primarily done through Outreach email closing deals and then doing work it's really that simple so we have to think about it who's going to be buying services from individuals an individual person well it's not going to be Shopify or Wix or some giant company it's going to be local businesses and it's going to be software companies with lower domain ratings you know maybe they're new maybe they just got funded they're not huge already they don't have 10 SEO managers so there's company size local businesses early growth stage uh companies and e-commerce Brands so let's go through them one by one so first is local businesses like we discussed they're not great at marketing they're smaller they don't have big budgets however they're super easy to find Target and it's the easiest type of marketing strategy I just put into chat gbt give me 50 local businesses in the Denver area that might need help with SEO boom it just gives me all of these you can Google it find them find different companies just do some simple Outreach that way so I would keep it if you're doing local business focus on the local area that you're in and you can help serve that audience we'll cover what to what to actually offer them because it's a little bit different local business needs different things than a software company does next is software company so software company I would say with a domain rating between 40 and 70 is a good thing that's a good one to look for we don't want some giant company that already knows everything they're not going to hire a single like an individual person to help with content or SEO or YouTube or anything like that what we can do is we could use something like crunch base and I have one thing in here so you can add you can do build a query on companies you can say you can add different filters so I added in like monthly visits are between 10,000 and 100,000 so they're getting some traffic but not a huge amount number of employees is between 11 and 50 so this is interesting when you're thinking about a software company that's going to pay an individual it's it could be zero it could be 1 to 10 or 11 to 50 maybe even 50 to 200 but it's not going to be Dell or Microsoft right they already have teams they just do it all inous people that don't do things in house and require an agency are a little bit smaller in the growth phase so I put 11 to 50 they have money to spend at this size but they're not huge uh and then you could also say last funding date so this is interesting in crunch base you can see like this company just got funded they did a seed round or a series a or C or something like that I just put it recently so last like 3 months or so couple months and you can see there's 221 results here so crunch Bas Pro you can do a tons of searches on here it's like 300 bucks though or something for the year but otherwise it's a pretty good tool to use to just find very specific software companies for list building all right so we covered local businesses software companies another one is e-commerce Brands so Brands selling physical products online and again you don't want to go after Nike here or some giant company but ones that are growing mid-tier DRS from 40 to 70 or things like that especially like there's even some local businesses that sell online like for example a local ATV or Motorsports company they have their uh inventory they pre-owned and new inventory on the site but they don't have like a Blog strategy or a Google my business strategy or all of that so e-commerce Brands is another one or other creators if you're if you're going to be selling services like YouTube thumbnails YouTube scripting uh short videos it's going to be other creators it's a little bit harder to like get blogs to pay you for Content sometimes they have to be pretty big if it's just an individual blogger that's why I focus more on software companies for Content but other creators too especially on YouTube or lead gen so the last one's lead gen that could be things like Realtors high-end service pros like HVAC Plumbing commercial construction things like that where they might have a website they might want to do lead gen for themselves but they don't know what they're doing so you can really help them like if there's a realtor a local realtor that needs help you could help them with a YouTube strategy you could help them with lead generation through a website so you really have to think about it who do you want to serve who can you help what service do you want to learn and get good at again if you click the link in the description below you can you can watch the free Master Class you can kind of see more about you can learn content marketing and writing and SEO and stuff you can learn that in like a week uh if you take a course or something like that right it's not like you need to go to college for something like that same thing is true of YouTube you can learn this stuff pretty quickly and then implement it so next you know you want to create a list of like 50 companies 50 potential targets based on your audience list people you want to serve in one specific audience audience and it's important you find that one specific one because sometimes it's harder if you're just targeting all software companies with generalized SEO Services you're going to f you know be in a sea of competition and you're not standing out you don't have a good offer so it's really about the offer what is the specific service you're offering is that I'm going to scale your content with 30 AI optimized articles a month that are human edited is it YouTube is it something else you need something very specific that your audience needs so we have the list you know put it in a spreadsheet 50 companies let's say you start with then you have to find the name of the person to actually reach out to so name finding is next and there's a couple ways to do that one is just like LinkedIn so I went to LinkedIn here I searched like MailChimp and what you do is you go to the company page so you find the company then you go to people and you look at the different people at the company and then you search by keyword I would do SEO for like SEO manager or something like that and then you can find these people here so SEO manager at MailChimp hit connect you don't even have to really send a message with your connection request just send a connection request see if they answer if it's a bigger company you'll see like there's quite a few there's an international manager an analyst manager Global director so they have four people I always try to aim for like the manager or director level the decision makers right not like the junior analysts that has to check with their boss necessarily but you can connect with them and then just kind of wait and then we put the name in the spreadsheet so you just take the name take it put that in another column in the spreadsheet all right so you have the name you have the company now we just need the email address because we're going to be sending emails so to do that we would use Hunter hunter.io is a tool you could use I put in MailChimp and it gives you the format of the email so it says first name. last name is the format that is used you can find that some of these people have their emails on LinkedIn and then it shows you so you'll notice there's a couple different ones like this one has a first name only but I think that first first name. last name is the format so now that you have the company you have the name now you have the email cuz you have the format if you're looking for a more advanced option for outreach and building you could use something like Apollo although it it's a paid tool I've used it before it's pretty good it has its own database you can do something like create a Persona so for example you can plus Persona and I'm going to say the Persona name is SEO managers in the US so you can say the job title is SEO manager and you just put that in you can say you can choose the location the industry the keywords you can just say United States all SEO managers in the United States stes at companies with 11 to 100 employees and you save that and now you can view it so you can see it now there's 566 565 different people that you could reach out to with that so it's a way to kind of automate the list building and then do the Outreach so you can create email sequences in here send emails and follow-ups in an automated way so it's another option but again it's paid at the end of this video I'll show you the exact free way to do this whole thing so at this point all we should have is a spreadsheet with three columns company name name email address so now what do we actually send in the email this is going to be the important part to figure out this is a lot of email what to say in the email this is all interpersonal email skills and psychology so we are reaching out doing cold Outreach to get people to eventually hire us and this is done all the time so it's a skill that is actually good to build but it's all psychology so first you want to be casual not pushy or demanding so I get a lot of emails are like add this link to your blog post I'm like no there's nothing in it for me you're demanding something out of me I'm not going to do it but you want to be very casual very friendly tone you want to lead with an intro and then your most uh impressive statement so for example when I was first starting doing link building for clients I didn't say hey my name is Adam and I have a Blog with zero visitors because that was the reality in 2019 at the time I said my name is Adam and I am the digital marketing director at the company I was working for so you can use you know try to find your most impressive statement maybe you've been a photographer for 10 years or you've been gardening for 15 years something that uh is the most impressive possible business statement you can make for yourself so that's kind of leading just say hey this is who I am shorten to the point and then in the email you want to get to something specific so the more specific the better sometimes now if we're scaling this out and mass sending emails that's one strategy but at first I think it's good to be a little bit more targeted and specific so if you're doing local business for example and you say okay there's local you know dentists in Chicago you can look at one and you're doing Outreach you're doing SEO Services you want to get this client you can say you know I see that you're ranking on page two for some type of dental surgery in Chicago some specific service they offer I noticed you're on page two for this that's it right I was wondering if you'd be open to me helping you with this strategy in fact and then testimonials I've helped these other brands do it as well now you're not going to have those at first but over time you can so you're saying something specific especially at the beginning this is the really hard part right when we're first starting out we're doing initial Outreach and we feel like we're not an expert we feel like we're not good enough we feel like we shouldn't even be messaging this person you can still do it so something specific hey I see your ranking on page two for this wondering if you'd be open to you helping with this future testimonials let me know what you think looking forward to hearing back from you something casual don't be demanding end it that way and then you can do follow-ups at days four and seven ended at that most of the time they're not going to answer some of the times they will answer and then it's all about getting them into an initial meeting now when I was doing link building I actually didn't have any meetings I just did it all through email back and forth and back and forth I think it is actually easier in this it's considered solution-based sales so any agency work is solution-based sales so you're going to set up a meeting say hey yeah I'd love to talk to you about it get a calendly link feel free to book in my calendly that's the fastest and easiest way to get somebody to do it rather than going back and forth you free on Wednesday at two Thursday at one just have a calendly link now in this meeting this is solution-based sales so all you're doing is asking questions that's all you're doing you're trying to find the biggest pain points you're trying to see how you can help because every single client's going to be a little bit different their needs are all going to be different you can't just blast the same exact offer every single time you want to tailor it to the individual potential client and what I found here is like chat gbt actually came up with some good ideas here I said give me 10 questions I should ask for local business during initial Consulting meeting I want to uncover their payment points and get them to hire me for $33,000 a month so you want to find out what they're currently doing how do potential how do potential customers currently find your business online what challenges are you facing in attracting new customers are you currently tracking any TR you know what's going on are you tracking traffic are you getting sales how would you rate your website performance have you been approached to do this in the past do you have any keywords you want to rank for how often do you update stuff have you received any feedback are you currently using Google my business local directories um what would success look like so these are really good questions because you're just trying to figure out what's going on right now what are their problems and how you can help them now with local businesses it's more like they need Google my business listing so that's optimizing the listing to get on the map they need local simple SEO services so literally just Pages related to their services plus city name so if you're a dentist in Chicago there's going to be different words around types of surgeries and teeth whitening in Chicago and all these different like 10 to 20 different things that they offer and you just add those in as simple pages so the local strategy is going to be a little bit different we'll cover each one but really you're just asking questions in this meeting you want to keep it casual and friendly but not like overly friendly ridiculously friendly where you're calling them your best friend and like giving them a kiss on the camera on Zoom um be professional be honest you know if you're saying like hey I'm just starting out I'm kind of new to this but I'll do it you know I'm doing at a really reduced rate because I've seen a lot of you know I've been taking these courses I've seen a lot of success blah blah blah do you want to be honest you don't want to lie be like how long have you been doing this 10 years I'm an expert no and sometimes it does take taking on one free client I would say One Max take a free client have one person as a testimonial maybe someone you know locally I actually did that when I was working at a pizza place when I was 26 years old after college I started doing just free marketing work for the pizza place and then I leveraged that into an early getting a second client early on um even before I started my career I was kind of dabbling in digital marketing and then you end it so you can end it with a pitch if you're really prepared like if you feel like I can help this person I know exactly what I'm going to offer uh you can end it but typically you want to end it say this is all great let me let me plan something very specific and I'll get back to you and then you just send the proposal via email so next is pricing and packaging your offer now if it's something like content writing you do like $2 to $300 an article scale it up to how many articles you're doing or more offering bulk discounts is good but typically it's done in a good better best format so three options three prices with most people Landing in the middle so the high-end price is like the nuts and bolts everything I'll do your keyword research your content strategy we'll do 20 articles we'll do all this stuff and it's $8,000 a month the middle option that most people will pick is what you actually want to do what you think is the best option for them so that could be something like if it's YouTube Services YouTube shorts editing I will edit 15 short videos a month do all the captions all the thing all the uploads all of that or like could be I'll do one a day for you captions all of it and that's going to be five grand or six grand and then the lower option is like the the cheap option that they probably won't do with very limited service offerings so it's really the pricing is like are you doing just the implementation like are they doing all the strategy and then you're just doing writing then you're going to kind of charge a little bit less cuz it's only writing are you doing all the strategy you can't really put a price on good content strategy cuz really agency work is all based on Roi if you can get if you do a keyword strategy and the brand starts making a ton of money then it could be worth tens of thousands of dollars so strategy makes more money but it requires you to have a little bit more experience and have some clients under your belt that you've done this for but it's a little bit different so for a local business the easiest thing is you run Google my business maybe a Facebook page for them and you create 10 blog post for them based on their services plus the city name 10 individual Pages very simple you charge a thousand dollars a month for and we we want to minimiz minimum of three months typically we don't want to say one month only they're gonna try to push that but you're going to want to say three months is kind of the minimum because we have to actually get this thing going and get it rolling right uh software company they need potentially you know for Content strategy they wouldn't need thought leadership content that probably their own internal team is writing but then what I call glossery content so all kinds of different articles for example if they're a cold email Outreach software company they're going to be writing tons and tons of articles about email cold email gmail things Gmail extensions add-ons all kinds of different things that are searched for so you can kind of drive that content strategy but it's all in one very specific Niche with the goal of the content leading into them getting paying customers going to their feature pages and starting a trial that's for software for other bloggers creators websites it's really uh driving a Content strategy is going to be broader so you're going to stay in their Niche but like if you're doing YouTube strategy uh for a Creator in the finance Niche there could be all kinds of video ideas titles thumbnails everything from the stock market nfts crypto real estate it really depends so content creators go a little bit broader with their strategy because it's mainly done through affiliate marketing ads sponsors courses so you can go broader but really you have to think about when you're offering this what can your Target demographic afford a local business might pay you 500 bucks maybe $1,000 a month if they're very successful local business like a doctor's office or dentist office office or something like that a software company that's in their growth phase that just got funded might be able to pay you $10,000 a month without batting an eye it just depends on the type of company you're going after so next step then you send a proposal and I actually had chat GPT create a pretty good one here too I said create an SEO proposal template you know make it 1,000 3,000 5,000 a month what you're going to send is something very simple like this so you wouldn't use this exact thing you would make it your own but it has a title it's like prepared for here's the date thank you for considering us a little intro and then what are the objectives so you cover what they talked about what the what the uh they answered to the questions you ask them and then you break down the services good better best format here's all the things they'll do do this many blog posts we'll optimize this many pages we'll do monitoring we'll do all this stuff you can have a plan breakdown and you email it you can also say hey you want to jump on another quick call and I'll run you through this because a lot of sales happens over you know a zoom call or the phone but really I think something simple keeping it really simple and saying hey here's what we offer I think the middle tier option is the best let me know what you think leave it at that if they don't answer again you follow up probably in this one you follow up two days later and then two days after that again but this is a pretty simple template you get them and then they sign the proposal and then you invoice them you can invoice via pandadoc for free you can do a Paypal invoice really simple all right so they sign it they close it you just made $3,000 a month month for 3 months congratulations that's awesome now you got to actually do some of the work right so the the question is are you doing it yourself or are you hiring somebody to help you well I think at the very beginning you should be doing everything yourself to learn this process fully you should always learn everything before you Outsource it that's true of YouTube of blogging of anything you have to do it yourself and get good at it before you can actually train somebody to do it they're only going to be as good as you are and if you're not good at it then they're not going to be good at it so there's a couple ways that we can do this if we're scaling out content we can use something like machine. that I told you other AG gencies use so this is like you put in a a bunch of keywords and you get to this page so this was one I did for just something like back workouts really simple uh and then it creates this cluster it has 21 articles in here and you can literally have it you know this is back exercises with cables best dumbbell back exercise this is just an example but you can say I want it to be very long use chat gbt do a friendly tone firstperson perspective and then write it you click write you can get all the way to just publish it right to WordPress so you can publish drafts immediately through here uh you can see here's like cable back workouts this is what it came with featured imagees taking a minute to load but you can see understanding back muscles Anatomy all of this stuff is just completely done automatically in about a minute so it's pretty quick and you can get a ton of Articles done this way by using AI but then editing them so you don't want to you know publish just straight up AI articles when you say you're going to write them yourself right so there has to be a clear understanding that if you're using AI to scale content that you're telling your client that and you're editing them now editing requires humanization so that requires based on the client writing an introduction that includes more things about them or their business or things that are very specific written in the first person and then also internal linking which this tool does by itself adding images in but it's a much faster way to do this you could hire a single aiio writer AI optimization writer and they can take these edit it in your own way humanize it add some expertise authoritativeness trustworthiness and then add the images in publish and they can get an article done in a few hours or an hour rather than 10 hours so it's a way to scale things a lot faster using a tool like machine. so no matter what you're doing here's how to get it more automated CU really when we think about passive income any business can get passive over time it just requires you doing the work first you could start a lawn care company and get that thing passive over time once you hire a few people to help you right so it's about building the thing first doing the work learning it getting clients getting your hands dirty and then hiring and scaling it up so first you have to do all the work first yourself make sure the clients are happy understand overd deliver under promise and overd deliver on the first one for sure you could use a AI tool like machine to scale the publishing process or something like that now I think the math here is what it would look like so if you're getting say $33,000 a client you get one client do everything yourself that's $3,000 a month you don't want to hire somebody for 2,000 when you're making 3,000 right the profit margin on that that is not good enough but if you get a second client paying you 3,000 now you have 6,000 a month now you can start looking at all right I'm going to hire an AI writer on something like the pro blogger job board and I'm going to pay them $100 to edit and optimize and publish each of these articles so the math Works where now it's like I'm going to pay $1,000 to somebody making and I'm going to be making six so you're making 5,000 out of 6,000 I'm not good at math but that's something like 80 something per profit margin I think I don't know 82.5 that's my guess um and then by Third client now you have three clients paying you 3,000 a month that's 9,000 a month now you can scale that up you can pay that person more you can pay them two or 3,000 now you're making six take home so it's really the agency model is great because you just simply get more clients and scale up the the key is offering it all comes down to offering the right service that you're comfortable with learning it really good getting good at the Outreach figuring out what that you know first sentences in your email that's really going to get people to answer you and then testing over time you know not getting discouraged because this is a sales-driven Thing If you it's really simple if you want to make money online from day one you have to sell stuff passive stuff can come later when people are finding you naturally through attent the attention economy finding your content at first it's basically how money is made you sell things and when you're not selling your own product which requires a big audience you're selling services that you can just do so it's not the most passive but nothing can be passive immediately and then what we can do is we can take these writers these people that are doing the agency work for us and then all we do is we flip it over here and say hey start doing this for my site too so now you have a Content writer for your own site so that's what I did I hired a writer that was doing stuff for the agency that I built and I funneled them over to my own blog and then I started building the passive income streams once I had a base of money every month and I was doing it full-time cuz I left my job that's the hardest part taking a business from doing it on the side is a side hustle to a full-time business and I would argue that starting a website and doing Services is the fastest monetization stream to do it because it brings in Revenue you can build the agency business model you can hire one to two people and then you shift them over and start building the passive content streams into your own life whether that's YouTube videos or blog posts so it's how I started in 2019 I had one writer one assistant um through that I started you know really scaling was writing every single article myself too at the beginning hired one writer and then got it up to 80,000 a month with one writer and one Assistant two vas basically now my blog's pretty much fully automated I have one content manager we publish 20 articles a month all I do is spend about five hours a month on it doing some keyword research for the month that's pretty much it I spend some time on doing other things some PPC strategies some affiliate negotiations and things like that and I have all the time back for YouTube videos and teaching because I like doing that too so why am I teaching this why am I not just doing the blog thing because teaching on YouTube can also make money it's more fun you can build a community and build an audience so you saw saw a lot of the student wins we teach a lot in both AI income blueprint and income University so income University we teach YouTube blogging agency work all of that stuff AI income blueprint we teach specifically AI content creation blogging both are really good communities you know we're constantly updating the stuff in there every single week we have live q&as students really love it so I think it's the number one way to build a personal brand build a website start selling services start building content start learning just start learning the process and taking action you saw the wins I think you can you know see that it is possible it's not that complicated but it will take some work it's not get-rich quick scheme right so if

articles for you you plug it into chat GPT or Claude and it just writes the entire thing um finds your Niche do all these different things so it's really cool plus my AI Master Class make sure to
