How to make $1,000 FAST...

...while also building a long-term business that could potentially change your life.

(Step-By-Step)

// THREAD //
Step 1: Write Down What You Are Good At

This 1st Step is important.

To get someone to pay you $$$,

You MUST be able to provide value.

So...
>How can you provide a benefit that someone is willing to pay for?
>What can you teach someone that will improve their life?
Most people don't believe they are an expert in anything...

But this is the completely wrong mindset!

You just need to know more than whoever you are teaching.

You don't need to be THE expert...

...you just need to be A expert.

Write down a complete list of ALL your skills.
Step 2: Find An Audience For Your Skill

Choose one of your skills that has an audience.

The next step:

Figure out what aspect of your skill people will pay you for.

(Twitter is great for this)

Ask yourself:

If you taught your skill to an audience, how would they benefit?
Step 3: Sign Up For An Email Provider

This will let you gather your potential customers' contact info + send marketing messages to them.

(Pro Tip: Mailchimp is free)

Next step:

Create a quick landing page hosted by your email provider.

Make a note of the Landing Page URL.
Step 4: Create A Video Tutorial Demonstrating An Aspect Of Your Skill

This video is to

>showcase your skills
>establish yourself as an authority
>entice potential customers to sign up for your email list

The simplest & cheapest method for this is YouTube and/or Facebook.
Step 5: Start Posting Your Video In Relevant Facebook Groups+ Twitter

So you have your Landing Page + Video...

So it's time to gather email subscribers.

Pro Tip: FB has promotion guidelines - here's what you need to do:
>Get involved in any group before posting your video
>Leave comments, answer Q's, and add value in the group
>Only then can you post your video

Remember:

The goal is to get email sign ups,

So write a small blurb that attracts attention + gets sign ups.
Step 6: Create A Course Or Service You Can Charge Money For

Now you have an email list,

So you're ready to make $$.

Create a flagship course you can sell to your audience.

Your course should include live, step by step instruction and full email support.
To determine price, look at other courses in your niche/industry.

NOTE:

Creating a course can be intimidating.

But, you don't need to have your course completely done before you launch.

You can develop your course on the fly based on customer input

Don't overcomplicated it
Also,

You don't have to sell a course.

You can simply sell a service.

Totally up to you.
Step 7: Give A Webinar And Launch Your Class Or Service

Up to now, you have:

- An email list of people interested in your material
- The framework for your flagship course setup on Teachable OR a service you can sell
- A small library of tutorials in your tool belt
It's time to start making money!

The best way to sell your course or service is by giving a live webinar.

(this is basically a tutorial with an offer)

13 Things You Didn't Know About ME

// THREAD //
1. In elementary school, I had a buck tooth that grew at a nearly 90 degree angle.

My friends used to give me tin cans to open with my teeth... until I got braces. :)
2. In 6th grade, I was a member of honors chorus (a singing group composed of about 30 kids).

The conductor told me to just mouth the words and pretend like I was singing... because I was that bad.

I’ve built two 7-figure online businesses

If I had to start a biz with no money, here’s how I’d do it

// THREAD //
1. Build an audience

Without paid advertising, building an audience organically is key

Use platforms
- Twitter
- Facebook
- YouTube
- Instagram
- TikTok

Post value + engaging content in one specific niche.

Interact with others + stay consistent.

Keep growing and don't stop.
You don't have to use social media.

Other options for growing an audience include

- blogs (post SEO articles consistently)
- podcasts (start your own or get on others)

This is a great way to grow an audience but can be slower than social media.

There are many aspects to running an eCommerce business

Ex. advertising, fulfillment, employees, customer service, etc.

BUT

It all starts with your product.

Type #1: Candy-like product

These are products that don't solve any real problems.

But, they bring pleasure + are fun to own.

Example:
Fidget Spinners.

If they become a fad?

Boom. Sales can explode + you can get rich, easily.

The downside:

Fame is fleeting.

14 Elon Musk Quotes That Will Inspire Small Business Owners

//Thread// Image
“When something is important enough, you do it even if the odds are not in your favor.”

Starting a business will be one of the most stressful, painful, nerve-wracking experiences in your life.

It’s also worth it.
“If you need motivation, don’t do it.”

True motivation is not fabricated, you just feel it.

Makes sense why so many people start businesses after hitting rock bottom…
