If you restart, what would you do this? A lot of them said this okay, so so this is super super valuable for you, most of you guys are beginners, and why not do what someone who’s successful says they would do if they restart or be in your position as a beginner.
So listen up direct response. Marketing is something on people, don’t even know the word or the phrase. Oh. So, if you’re reading this good for you, the right response, marketing is basically you owning traffic, basically marketing the people where you’re going to get a exam, get a direct response from them, yes or no, or a certain action directly from them. What I’m talking about here is actually email.
Yes, you use part of the things like send email to people, physical, tangible mayor mail, but I’m talking about email for this, okay building an email list and marketing to them forever. Okay, guys want to talk about so visit. The strategy traffic time traffic tons of free stuff we’re just and then an opt-in page up, redirect redirect to offers hosting offers Ultron the funnel for you, if you’re new here alright funnels offers, as in multiple offers.
Alright – and am I missing anything here – you need an autoresponder sequence, so sequence. This is what I would do and they need email blast blast in the past yeah you got ta read list. This is like straight up their strategy and I’m going to show you the numbers and you’re like oh, my gosh. How can you even make money if you’re doing email marketing does that even work anymore, I’ll take what works is owning traffic, and this is just like the go-to thing to own traffic? Yes, you could do messenger, but is that going to be around forever? We know that email is the back brace for the whole internet and keeps it all glued together.
Basically, it’s the glooms internet. Everything you signed up for is under your email. Okay, email is the core okay to get to people in a core thing, so yeah, when the internet was even created, having an email was like the first thing, just a way for people to communicate and then other things pop up and you created it. Okay and then email silly all right and let me try it fun. Let’s try over here, you see it we’re driving traffic sorty is for traffic, we’re sending it to our opt-in, page opt-in.
We redirect them to our main offer. We can either own this offer or we could promote a mid ticket commission offer relevant to whatever needs were in that make sense, so you’re sending traffic by the way, my course I teach extensions of this whole funnel you can make six to seven figures or more. Okay, this business model is like the go to best business model, but then there’s secrets inside of it that you don’t even know about.
Then I teach inside my course so check that out. You’ll love it okay, I can add in bonuses. Okay, so you click the opt-in, you get the email. Alright, and you run your email sequence in your autoresponder could be a lab. Bird could be get response, it could be market hero, aka Alex Becker’s business. Those three are great and then there’s other ones, but I use Aweber and GetResponse. I can’t really decide between the two, so you just decided when you want.
I don’t have a link for that, but clickfunnels is we’re going to need to build your actual landing page. So that is in the description you can get your free trial, very special link for you there and you can email blasts to any offer that comes out in your niche. You can block students, and this is how you make an average of $ 1 per month. So basically, one dollar per month is like the key here um you are earning money for his opt-ins for the free stuff.
You may think coming else are not even earning anything, I’m just getting these emails and who knows what they’re ever going to make me money? Well, guess what it’s a numbers game in collecting about your email addresses so for every person idea – molest, you should be earning one cent to $ 1 to $ 10 per month – depends how how many offers you promote them? Monthly, okay – and this is not cleaning the email sequence.
This is including the email blasts, so you send out email blasts. Your wholeness of new offers new ways to monetize them all. You many things and even your own products, free image, and this is how I’m making thousands per day this my top income sources. I hope this YouTube blog becomes one of my top and then I hope that my site, businesses, that I want to build big companies out of one regarding influencers, is one of my big ideas, hopefully be making a million a month.
That’s down the road. It’s getting bailed it’ll take a while, but that’s and then other big ideas that I have I’m just an idea machine at Kim’s not digest. I don’t say that to brag or anything, but it’s kind of curse, and I know I think I saw something I must have said that he comes up ideas. It’s just like a weird thing like we might not stop his ideas. I got a huge stack of business ideas only do in my life, so this is like direct response marketing in the strategy that I would do if I to restart, because it’s the one best working for me right now.
It’s pretty good, lit okay you’re getting people into recurring right here, and they want to opt in because they’re getting a ton of stuff. Okay, you’d, like a bullet list of all the value giving them for the email they’re going to do. If it’s one thing, you have lower opt-in rates, but if it’s a no-brainer for them just to get their email and get the thing you give it to them and you get to them through the email redirects to the page and that’s easy news: clip phones.
So in high drive traffic do free traffic um. For starters, if you don’t have much money in your total beginner and you have no money do that. But if you have money you can freaking make a great bar align with the strategy. It’s the best drug to go to strategy for anyone. Okay, this is how big companies you can blow up their company very fast. That’s so now you just invest in any paid traffic source.
You want to do you. Do Facebook, that’s a great one. You could do Instagram. Anthony D is a huge influencer. You could do YouTube, you can do search ads.

So I usually wear a seersucker shirt, but I wanted to record this real quick for my daily vlog, because here’s the deal whatever idea you ever have in life number one obstacle will be marketing it, because humans have a natural aversion to anything new.
That’s why brands? Like coca-cola keep winning, because if you come up with a soda, nobody naturally trusts it until it’s been proven over and over. So marketing becomes the key to anything, no matter how great your idea, if you’re an artist musician, social media person, entrepreneur online entrepreneur, you’ve got pizza, restaurant, you know whatever it is, you have to acquire clients and keep them happy, and so here’s the number one rule That everyone forgets don’t market narcissistically.
What I mean by that is don’t market, something that only you’re interested in, and I know that sounds so obvious people are like. I already know that time, but not really people don’t really understand the extent to which I’m talking about. Ah, I’m walking here’s a little cooler that are light. People understand the extent to which our brain will naturally build our marketing on narcissistically selfishly.
So, let’s just take an example, I saw the other day this mattress commercial, you seen those ever late at night. Look how nice it is out today they call this the magic hour because the lights real nice, but this mattress commercial, has the owner and he’s not very good he’s, not very good on camera and he’s there talking about why you should buy a mattress from him And I was thinking dude, nobody really wants to see.
You like you know, you’re, not good, at doing your commercial. Why don’t you stay behind the scenes? And I know why? Because he thought it would be cool for him to market himself in that way, but much better to make a persuasive marketing piece. You know commercial, you don’t see the shirt, you don’t see the CEO of coca-cola in all the commercials. Now there is a time if you’re good on camera, you can use your own.
You know you can use your own images, your own articles, but that was just an example that came to mind. I was thinking who’s, this guy building the marketing for himself and at the end of the day, if you build your market for yourself, you’re going to be broke period. So how do you get into the minds of people? That’s what it really comes down to and I’ll tell you. The simplest way to get into the minds of potential customers is to do rapid experimenting, Rapide Rapide Rapide.
You know I did some of you have seen some of my youtube articles that woman viral and they’ve had. I just looked check my stats in the last year year and a half did 540 million minutes readed. It’s a lot YouTube told me. They won’t tell me if it’s the most, but it’s a lot half a billion minutes, not just views minutes and part of that paid advertising and part of that virality. There’s a formula I’ll talk about that another article.
But when I first made my very first article, I even won with the Lamborghini. It didn’t not that many people liked it. It was me and Jeremy just driving around and it wasn’t that persuasive of marketing. So you know maybe got a hundred thousand views versus the other. One got over 100 million and I was in Paris. I shot that one first, one that did not go viral and I went to Paris for New Year’s and then I came back and I was like.
Let me just keep experimenting, get inside the mind of people, but instead of me presupposing. I knew what was inside the line. I built some rapid test. I record about 20 30 more tests, and one of them was the here in my garage article, which was kind of the beginning of a lot of the social media articles that I did and that one’s gotten no one knows exactly how many people viewed it. Maybe 100 million people globally lot 50 to 100, probably more but I’ll be conservative with that and that came from rapid experimentation.
I experimented that whole process was in two months. I did enough experimenting, so if you can experiment, then you won’t build this selfish narcissistic marketing. That just doesn’t work much time. You read TV you’ll, see it all day long and then you’ll see those few commercials that really catch your attention, so whatever you’re trying to market get inside through rapid experimentation. I was talking to.
I got a guy, a friend of mine, kind of a were loosely affiliated and his name is Adrian Morrison and he built out a system what he does. He goes on Facebook and he just like rapidly experiments products that people want to buy. He does Facebook advertising a different internet advertising and he discovers through a process of trial and error, but rapid trial and error what people want to buy and he can build businesses extremely quickly.
You know ecommerce businesses, someone will make whatever thousand bucks a month. Ten thousand and fifty thousand I don’t know the numbers are fairly big. I mean he’s out making 100 million bucks a year, but it’s making seven figures. Maybe eight, I’m not sure I’ll have to ask him. His exact numbers doesn’t matter, makes a good living just selling. All kinds of stuff that you wouldn’t think that necessarily it would be able to make that much money, but he does and he actually wrote a book, I’m going to put a link to his book.
He I got him to give a free download of it. It’s like how to build a profitable ecommerce business and it’s this whole system of testing. A lot of you asked me for how to stuff and the daily vlog is more just general advice. I don’t have time to always lay it all out, especially because I got to leave in a second but I’ll. Put a link now he’s going to take this link down. I got him to put it up for much for how many more days, but a few more days.
I got him to give it away. You can get the e-book free, so he can read all the stuff and he also has a link for a workshop. You can read, I told him, I’d, be an affiliate for it because he’s done some stuff for me on Facebook marketing, because I do a lot more on other blogs, but he really helped me with getting my Facebook marketing up. We work with them every week, just giving tips and advice so he’s helping me.
I can tell you that, and so maybe it’ll help you out there’ll, be a link somewhere here, annotation or below click that link get his free ebook, it’s completely free and then you can sign up for the free workshop. He has a paid version of it, but you don’t have to do that. If you don’t want, you could just get the free stuff and then for those of you really interested. I think he has a link to some paid more advanced program but start with the free stuff check get out and just remember whatever you’re trying to do.
You must be a marketing guru, a marketing master. You must understand persuasion. You must understand the mindset of your target market and very few people can do this, but those who can get a huge reward so wish you luck on what you’re trying to do trust me. I’ve been in the marketing game, my first mentor, Joel Salatin, was a direct marketer. I was 19 years old, I’ve been learning and learning. You know from mentors all different type of mentors that first mentor and I was a 19 Joel Salatin and on and on and on and go everybody I meet.
Who knows a thing or two about marketing, I’m picking their brain. Tell me I’m showing up at their conferences I’m looking at their online. You know I read you know. I read a book a day, I’m reading books, I’m investigating I’m reading TV commercials, I’m reading and clicking on internet banners trying to re reverse-engineer what the heck it is. These guys are doing and – and I look at celebrities – look at how Oprah mark yourself now Ellen Ellen DeGeneres Show you know dj khaled now killing it on snapchat I read movie stuff on office.
I was in a movie yesterday pop star that big movie – Andy Samberg, came out funny as hell. If you read my snapchat, I posted it, but I readed how they marketed that thing. Judd Apatow is a genius. He did trainwreck so make yourself a follower and a seeker of every marketing technique and tip, as you could ever come up with marketing. It’s not cheesy, marking his way of persuading people if you’re selling something good to do what’s in their best interest.
I’r so happy thankful that there’s good marketing out there, especially for good stuff. You know like this Rolls Royce. I just got it’s Branson custom. Look at 11 miles. Just came off the boat, the go series it’s on my snapchat and stuff um. I wasn’t going to get a Rolls Royce. You know I was going to get him a glaring and then I was at the dealership and they were telling about this Rolls Royce and they were so persuasive on how well it drives and all that – and I was like.
Maybe I need to look into this that’s marketing and I’m glad they did because it’s a badass cars better than a McLaren in terms of quality, ride and stuff, like that little different, apps, Turin jizz, but everything I’m glad you know Joel Salatin marketed to me to Go and work on his farm, I’m glad he was persuasive. I’r glad differ mentors at different times persuading me to take a different path than then I would have gone on naturally.

What’s up yours, Devin Malik back going to make another quick load article. It might not be people fuckin with the SoundCloud articles. You know, like they’re, doing good. Thank you for the feedback. One thing I must say the people posting links, stop doing it ain’t. Nobody really going to check out your link. I feel, like I’d, be taking the time to read this market in the article.
You should be at the point where you you need to understand that posting a random link in the comment section on a YouTube article. It’s not going to get you a lot of traffic. You wasting your time. Most people won’t click it and if they do click it. The fact that they’re going to go through your playlist and follow you or you know, become a fan, it’s kind of almost throw that in there real, quick but back to the topic, so niggas fuckin with the SoundCloud article.
So I’m going to keep talking about it. This one is about how to make money on soundcloud how to make money using SoundCloud how anybody on soundcloud could make some money. If you a high school, you got a little part-time job. You don’t got a job. You need some extra bread. This is pretty much a good article for you, I’m 19. Now I’ve been using SoundCloud for about two years. When I was 17, I started uploading beats and things like that got real consistent, uploaded a bunch of be tapes, instrumental albums a few wraps here and there.
Now I’m focusing more on that doing music articles and shows you know things like that, but around 12th grade year I was putting out, beat tapes and I was like damn. I need money on you money like what am I doing like you know. It’s a certain point where you know it is your hustle and you got to treat like a hustlin. You got to get compensated for it. So the number one thing is: you got to get to a point where you’re not scared to ask for compensation.
You’re not scared to ask for money, because at the end of day you are given a service or you are bringing some sort of value and that you provided or people fuck with your music. They might be willing to throw you some sort of donation or some sort of payment because association, you know they’ve messing with you, you messing with them and it’s just a good vibe all together. So don’t be scared. I asked for money: if you’re not selling things, how are you going to make money if you’re not putting up a beat and saying? Oh, you can lease it if you’re not putting on a tape and saying oh, it’s for so here you’re not going to make any money a lot of people.
How are you going to act? Oh I’m not making money, I’m not making money. What am I supposed to do? You’re, not even selling shit. You want people to just come and just give you bread like that. Doesn’t make sense. That’s not how life works. You feel me. So, basically, you got to start selling shit. If you want to make money, it’s not the monies, it’s not going to come to you. You got to create these opportunities.
People always talk about this law of attraction and speaking things to existence, but they forget the radical action part where you got ta actually like makes you happy. You know I’m saying and niggas be forgetting that’s just a little T, IME for y’all niggas right there moving on how you going to make the money right, yo I’ll, be held at gigs, making these articles, but I’m just turned. I love giving you all these information and the feedback y’all be giving me that shit’s time.
So I’m looking out my window because it’s like somebody parked like up in front of the crib right now, just looking weird. So I keep kind of like zone enough, but back to the topic more for pretty much um talk about ways to get paid on a soundcloud. Really, if you are a producer, if you are a rapper, there’s two different, you know that’s pretty much. How people are they either they either do that or they do the other if you’re a producer.
The number one thing I can say is: if you’re not putting on instrument of albums or be tapes whatever you want to call them. You should start doing that because a lot of people put out if you’re a producer, I’m going to beat every day, I’m going to be every four days. Every week you got all this material. You can organize it as a tape. Put it out as one full project and get paid off of that bank and got it down just off youtube.
People will hit you up like just all type of Runaways. My name is Dan cam. You can find my my shit on there. I got like over 10 tapes right now, maybe 15 of just like good as music and a vibe to chill pretty much, and it’s actually weird because a lot of people don’t know the opportunities on soundcloud. You know a lot of people, take it as a joke, but once you start creating it and using it more as a business, then you get more business opportunities from it.
So I do suggest even right now, if you got a photo with 10 B, 10 and 15 beats, it could be a EP. I’ve taken four beats. Five beats put it out as a project people like when you have an organized project. It looks better than just random singles, or just like, oh he’s, just a producer with all these 100 beats at 50 beats like that. Don’t do that organize it, promote it and drop that shit, because you get to a point where you get into a rhythm and people start paying you for it.
You can set small prices, you don’t have to have a huge, a huge payout, but things like Bank can’t know that they will take a percentage out of each cell. You know so just know that I calculate all that in there, but you’ll make making a dollar. It’s better than making, no you don’t say no money at all. So don’t be stingy, don’t be like. Oh I’m not going to do this and only make a few bucks cuz yeah it’s going to start small.
It just depends on your work ethic and how hard you going to work at it, cause it going to start small, but it’s going to get bigger yeah. You might make a dollar off this tape. The next tape, god damn make $ 2 thanks. Take me $ 3 makes a make $ 4. You don’t saying you do that all over again, you got eight goddamn. You got eight bucks right there right, you get two more dollars. You got you a G, but I’m going to keep going then so yeah be tapes.
That’s not one thing number two is beat leases. If you make hip hop, instrumentals trap beats or whatever. If you make shit that people are willing to rap one man, please start selling your beats leases exclusive. Whatever you sign up with track, train set them up on, beat stars, put them on YouTube everywhere. Don’t I’m talking about SoundCloud but put them on everywhere. You know you SoundCloud as a hub connect with people and then spread it out, and then all these other things send them to SoundCloud and I’ll just be like your main source right there, but yeah it’d be Lisa’s things like that.
You make more money off of being least, you can augment I’ve sold a beat package for what $ 200 $ 300 and that’s way more money than as many as beat tapes. I would have to say you know, I’m saying like that. Just comes into the quality of beats that you are providing and if people are actually going to want to wrap one, you know goddamn realtor, I’m really excited for this shit yeah. I haven’t made a article in a while.
I’ve been lacking your it’s might be a lot more consistent content. I know I’ve said it before, but I’m just so busy right now. I got so much shit going on and I’m just trying to process it online like from family life. They get so goddamn. Fucking work career to this tonight today, so I’m just trying to make all this shit work and operate and just keep it. You know just keep it to I’m appreciating the feedback yoga, it’s crazy, so many people are into my inbox hit me up on Twitter Instagram, asking me for advice asking me for this.
Like that’s one thing, I really do appreciate like the fact that y’all are listening and understand what I’m saying. Another thing is: don’t think I know everything cuz, I don’t know shit. You feel me so if y’all got some advice, anything like that give it to me cuz, I’m always willing to soak up some G AME real talk so hit me with that and I’ma hit y’all something back and we going to be good. Moving on forward beat Lisa’s is really simple on the way I like to do it, even if you make a folder of 10-15 beat street like a beat tape or a sermon, I get 10 15 beats and just put them out every day every other day.
For a certain amount of money, pretty much and then once you get to a point me to have a thousand photos: 2005 three thousand four: it becomes automatic. There’s always somebody that wants to buy and see what you provided me. You know so you just got ta stay consistent with that. If you a rapper, you wan na make money, it’s even easier for you, because people will buy your tape quicker than you know, just by like their instrument, it’s easier for them to make a lease.
But if you’re a rapper, if you’re artists, you should really work on putting off some sort of project, even if you, if you really get to a grind on, get them tangible, get some CDs. But I ain’t up that played out. You know I’m saying if you about your hustle, you going to make the bread and just do that and then it’s all going to come together for you, I’m trying to think about other ways to make money off.
Soundcloud um! You can sign up. You need to monetize your SoundCloud wait, honey. You actually need a monetize, your SoundCloud, because I’m at the point now it’s not a lot of money, but even if I’m getting $ 10 $ 15 $ 20 a month just off a couple thousand plays here like them. Saying like it’s good, because once the more music you put out port per month and the more people that are playing them in a lawyer, listening to your songs, the more amount of money they’ll seen you monetize it.
So you should search that up. There’s a lot of free, monetization programs. That’ll get you right, you know get you feeling just why you need a fill hold on. It’s still. It’s still, I’m going to treat these articles more organic you’re, like I’m trying. I was trying to be hella weird and my hella professional and have a list of shit to talk about. I can’t do all that. You feel me crime, it’s just easier when I just treat it like a regular conversation.
I’r just talking, like you know, they’re trying. I was trying to be too robotic with some of these shits. You don’t, but then some of my warning I was like you know. Those are the ones that are working. You know like the SoundCloud one I should, but it’s really tons of ways you can make money off SoundCloud you can. You can promote other people’s music. Like people get, you know, people will be sending niggas PayPal money to repost their song on soundcloud.
That’s crazy! You know like there’s tons away so between be tapes, instrumental releases be tapes, instrumental leases. You are, if you’re artists put out a full project or put out an EP monetize it monetize it. A SoundCloud is really not that much and a lot of them are free. You can find a free program for it. Um promote outside external projects like make a drunk it, make a sound pack make a article like this.
You know promote outside things that that people will pay for in sin that I think back to SoundCloud. That goes to like marketing shit. Let me let me know if you are down to like give more like music marketing articles instead of like. I know I’ve kind of been touching on it here and there, but if you want more, like social media marketing how to actually get it to larger a larger amount of people in a quick amount of time, let me know let me feel, like anything, any questions.
Any articles don’t want me to cover hill, that’s how I can make articles quickly if somebody’s in the comments like you’ll, make a article about this I’ll go ahead and not get out. You know and just keep it like that among I’m going to also start doing. My live stream shit like that and um. That’s pretty much it! I’r rambling at this point they just treated professionally, have some sort of schedule on Soundcloud.
You know because once you start getting a following, people will expect something from you. So if they followed you because you’re putting on a song every week every other week, you got to keep doing that. You can’t disappear for two three months. That’s what happens with a lot of people. They they lose their momentum. You know that’s not what you wan na, be, thankfully sound clouds through here I don’t know chance of pulling strings or what, but I think is going nowhere.
It’s too much money behind there’s too much people making money behind it, much more money to climb. So that’s pretty much that I can’t I feel like as soon as I stop the article I’m going to think of another way like. Oh, I make money this way, so yeah do all that stuff. You just hit me up my comment, sections open. My inbox is okay, make it right now,
Why a fairy fantasy novel and today I’m going to be sharing with you at the top three ways. I make an income to support my writing as an unpublished author and how you can, because of these side, hustle ideas that I’m about to share with you. I was able to step down from my day job back in August and become a full time writer currently making enough to supplement my husband’s income.
So I can work from home doing the things I love. If you want to hear more about my personal journey of how I became a full time writer in one year, I will link that article below and in the cards, but by the end of this article you will have a bunch of ideas about how you can Start making money as a writer whether you are currently unpublished like me, or if you’ve been looking for ways to supplement what you’ve been making from selling your books and if you find these ideas inspiring but you’d like more personal help from me about how to turn Your idea into a successful hustle definitely check out my patreon page as I love to help my patrons figure out, which idea is best for them and give them tips about how to create and market their write early income venture.
Now, if you’re excited to hear about these three side, hustle ideas go ahead and hit the like button on this article and let’s get into the tips. Firstly, what I’m not going to be talking about is selling novels, because chances are you’re reading this article, because you are working on something that is not ready to publish yet or you’re, making some money in selling your novels, but you’re not making the kind of money You hoped I’m also not going to tell you to go out and find an unrelated day, job, part-time or otherwise to support your writing, although this may be the best option to start out with, as you’re building your side business to eventually replace that income, the writers, I want to talk to today are the ones that want to create a side hustle that has to do with their writing, something that works hand in hand with it and builds their author platform, their influence, their readership, all at the same time and results in side Income now, but also helps sell their books more in the future.
If this describes you here are the top three ideas that I have successfully done myself. My first idea is to create a service or product for other writers or readers. When you go to start this kind of side business, the first things you want to ask yourself our what skills do I have and who would be my clientele? Well, if you’re, a writer, one of your skills is obviously writing and your target audience or clientele could be other writers once you’ve figured out your clientele.
The next questions you want to ask yourself are: what does my audience need or want most, and how can I use the skills I already have to help fill that need for me, I pulled my followers, my subscribers and any other writers. I knew and asked them what they struggled with most in their writer life. Then I took inventory of what my skills were and tried to find creative ways in which I could use those skills to help my target audience.
So I started out creating some free products for writers, like my series, Bible templates, that you can still get by signing up for my newsletter. But if you have any kind of templates or workbook, you think would be helpful to writers. You could just as easily sell that product, like many writers have, including my friend, Rebecca Kay Sampson. You create this product once, especially if it’s digital and then all you have to do is market it to your audience, offering discounts from time to time, sharing testimonials of people that have loved your product and suddenly you have income coming in.
The other option here is creating a service. For example, when I created my author website, I realized very quickly that my skill for creating websites was something that many other authors didn’t have. I also couldn’t find many others that specialized in making websites specifically for writers. So I also knew I wouldn’t have much competition. So after doing a bit more digging into what specific struggles my audience had with creating their author websites, I actually ended up coming up with three different services.
Either I could create a website for someone. I could teach them how to create it themselves through an online course or if they already had a website, but they didn’t love it or their things that they wanted to improve about it. I could offer a console call where I could give them tips about how to do just that. These offerings have been the bedrock of my income so far and since my clients love what I do and can’t wait to tell their friends, I barely have to market myself anymore, because I constantly have requests coming in.
I love the service option. Two because I get to know other writers network with them and help them along on their writing journey. To give you a few more examples, I know that my friend Mandy Lynn, has created the course author Tube Academy for those that want to their author, Tube blog and she also designs book covers. While my friend Beth Nia Quezada, has created book trailers for writers as well, I’ve also seen others offering editing and critique services like battaglia Lee or author coach services, like my friend Jade yung.
If you’d, like help figuring out what you’d like to offer and also creating a page where people can pay you for your services or products again, I definitely encourage you to join me on patreon and I would love to help you out. My second idea is to create an author, Tube blog for growing your author platform and influence. Creating an author youtube or author Tube blog, like I have, is a no-brainer sharing about my author journey and teaching others.
What I’m learning in the process here on YouTube has definitely been the number one thing that has launched and grown my author platform immensely. But did you know you could also make money as a youtuber? It’s definitely a long game. It takes a ton of time and endurance. Basically, you need at least a thousand subscribers, and at least four thousand hours of read time in a 12-month period to even be considered for YouTube’s partner program.
But after you are accepted into the program, YouTube will allow you to put ads either before, after or during your article, which brings in money for YouTube and allows YouTube to pay you if you make it to this point, not only have you massively grown your author Platform and potential readership, but you now have a library of articles in each article. You worked really hard to create once, but each one is now continually making you passive income, because those articles continue to get found and readed and YouTube is paying you for it again.
This option won’t work for everyone, and it’s definitely not for the faint of heart. You really have to love doing it for a long time before you can get paid, but if you really enjoy it, it’s well worth it plus you get to be supported by your audience without them having to pay you a dime, they read and enjoy YouTube pays You just as a gauge I was able to reach a thousand subscribers in about eight months time and I’m super close to reaching 4,000 hours.
So I’m really hoping that I can start monetizing soon, but just so you know it does work. I do have a different YouTube blog unrelated to writing that I’ve grown to over thirteen thousand subscribers and I’ve been getting paid by YouTube for that blog for almost a year now – and it’s been pretty great – my income from YouTube definitely four months a month, but it Definitely makes it done and for those of you that want to start making money sooner rather than later, you could also still make money off your other Tube articles, if you’re using YouTube in a strategic way.
For instance, if you’ve created a product or service, you could use your author Tube blog in part to be advertising or talking about those products or services which could result in more people going to purchase whatever you’ve offered doing. This has definitely helped me, find more website clients for sure, or you could also check out affiliate programs like Amazon, affiliates or eventually get some of your articles sponsored by writerly related companies.
I don’t have time to talk about all these options in this article, but if you join us over on patreon, this is definitely something we could discuss further in either case. If you have an author, Tube blog or just starting one, I definitely suggest checking out my top ten tips, article for how to grow your author, tube blog, which I’ll link below and in the cards, and if you become a patron, I would love to help.
Give you tips and personal suggestions for your author, Tube blog and speaking of patreon. My third idea, surprise. Surprise, is to create a patreon page patreon.Com/lenguin. So if you’d like to see an example and the article I made all about it, you can check out the link that I’ve put in the description below. But I think my favorite thing about this platform is that you really get to know your fans or patrons at a much more personal level, and as long as they continue to be patrons month after month, you suddenly have a pretty dependable monthly income, which the previous Two options: I’ve told you about in this article have a harder time providing.
So I’m really curious, which of these options? Are you going to try or have you tried already got any other ideas you think we should know about? I would love to chat about all that in the comments below and again, if you’d, like some personal mentorship from me in any of these areas, I hope to see you in the patreon group soon, if you want to take advantage of more of the free content, I have here on my blog I’ve linked some of my favorite playlist down below and if you haven’t already, we make sure you hit that subscribe button and the Bell.
So you don’t miss anything new, much luck with all of your right early side, hustle adventures and until next week. Happy writing.
What’s up yours, Devin Malik back going to make another quick load article. It might not be people fuckin with the SoundCloud articles. You know, like they’re, doing good. Thank you for the feedback. One thing I must say the people posting links, stop doing it ain’t. Nobody really going to check out your link. I feel, like I’d, be taking the time to read this market in the article.
You should be at the point where you you need to understand that posting a random link in the comment section on a YouTube article. It’s not going to get you a lot of traffic. You wasting your time. Most people won’t click it and if they do click it. The fact that they’re going to go through your playlist and follow you or you know, become a fan, it’s kind of almost throw that in there real, quick but back to the topic, so niggas fuckin with the SoundCloud article.
So I’m going to keep talking about it. This one is about how to make money on soundcloud how to make money using SoundCloud how anybody on soundcloud could make some money. If you a high school, you got a little part-time job. You don’t got a job. You need some extra bread. This is pretty much a good article for you, I’m 19. Now I’ve been using SoundCloud for about two years. When I was 17, I started uploading beats and things like that got real consistent, uploaded a bunch of be tapes, instrumental albums a few wraps here and there.
Now I’m focusing more on that doing music articles and shows you know things like that, but around 12th grade year I was putting out, beat tapes and I was like damn. I need money on you money like what am I doing like you know. It’s a certain point where you know it is your hustle and you got to treat like a hustlin. You got to get compensated for it. So the number one thing is: you got to get to a point where you’re not scared to ask for compensation.
You’re not scared to ask for money, because at the end of day you are given a service or you are bringing some sort of value and that you provided or people fuck with your music. They might be willing to throw you some sort of donation or some sort of payment because association, you know they’ve messing with you, you messing with them and it’s just a good vibe all together. So don’t be scared. I asked for money: if you’re not selling things, how are you going to make money if you’re not putting up a beat and saying? Oh, you can lease it if you’re not putting on a tape and saying oh, it’s for so here you’re not going to make any money a lot of people.
How are you going to act? Oh I’m not making money, I’m not making money. What am I supposed to do? You’re, not even selling shit. You want people to just come and just give you bread like that. Doesn’t make sense. That’s not how life works. You feel me. So, basically, you got to start selling shit. If you want to make money, it’s not the monies, it’s not going to come to you. You got to create these opportunities.
People always talk about this law of attraction and speaking things to existence, but they forget the radical action part where you got ta actually like makes you happy. You know I’m saying and niggas be forgetting that’s just a little T, IME for y’all niggas right there moving on how you going to make the money right, yo I’ll, be held at gigs, making these articles, but I’m just turned. I love giving you all these information and the feedback y’all be giving me that shit’s time.
So I’m looking out my window because it’s like somebody parked like up in front of the crib right now, just looking weird. So I keep kind of like zone enough, but back to the topic more for pretty much um talk about ways to get paid on a soundcloud. Really, if you are a producer, if you are a rapper, there’s two different, you know that’s pretty much. How people are they either they either do that or they do the other if you’re a producer.
The number one thing I can say is: if you’re not putting on instrument of albums or be tapes whatever you want to call them. You should start doing that because a lot of people put out if you’re a producer, I’m going to beat every day, I’m going to be every four days. Every week you got all this material. You can organize it as a tape. Put it out as one full project and get paid off of that bank and got it down just off youtube.
People will hit you up like just all type of Runaways. My name is Dan cam. You can find my my shit on there. I got like over 10 tapes right now, maybe 15 of just like good as music and a vibe to chill pretty much, and it’s actually weird because a lot of people don’t know the opportunities on soundcloud. You know a lot of people, take it as a joke, but once you start creating it and using it more as a business, then you get more business opportunities from it.
So I do suggest even right now, if you got a photo with 10 B, 10 and 15 beats, it could be a EP. I’ve taken four beats. Five beats put it out as a project people like when you have an organized project. It looks better than just random singles, or just like, oh he’s, just a producer with all these 100 beats at 50 beats like that. Don’t do that organize it, promote it and drop that shit, because you get to a point where you get into a rhythm and people start paying you for it.
You can set small prices, you don’t have to have a huge, a huge payout, but things like Bank can’t know that they will take a percentage out of each cell. You know so just know that I calculate all that in there, but you’ll make making a dollar. It’s better than making, no you don’t say no money at all. So don’t be stingy, don’t be like. Oh I’m not going to do this and only make a few bucks cuz yeah it’s going to start small.
It just depends on your work ethic and how hard you going to work at it, cause it going to start small, but it’s going to get bigger yeah. You might make a dollar off this tape. The next tape, god damn make $ 2 thanks. Take me $ 3 makes a make $ 4. You don’t saying you do that all over again, you got eight goddamn. You got eight bucks right there right, you get two more dollars. You got you a G, but I’m going to keep going then so yeah be tapes.
That’s not one thing number two is beat leases. If you make hip hop, instrumentals trap beats or whatever. If you make shit that people are willing to rap one man, please start selling your beats leases exclusive. Whatever you sign up with track, train set them up on, beat stars, put them on YouTube everywhere. Don’t I’m talking about SoundCloud but put them on everywhere. You know you SoundCloud as a hub connect with people and then spread it out, and then all these other things send them to SoundCloud and I’ll just be like your main source right there, but yeah it’d be Lisa’s things like that.
You make more money off of being least, you can augment I’ve sold a beat package for what $ 200 $ 300 and that’s way more money than as many as beat tapes. I would have to say you know, I’m saying like that. Just comes into the quality of beats that you are providing and if people are actually going to want to wrap one, you know goddamn realtor, I’m really excited for this shit yeah. I haven’t made a article in a while.
I’ve been lacking your it’s might be a lot more consistent content. I know I’ve said it before, but I’m just so busy right now. I got so much shit going on and I’m just trying to process it online like from family life. They get so goddamn. Fucking work career to this tonight today, so I’m just trying to make all this shit work and operate and just keep it. You know just keep it to I’m appreciating the feedback yoga, it’s crazy, so many people are into my inbox hit me up on Twitter Instagram, asking me for advice asking me for this.
Like that’s one thing, I really do appreciate like the fact that y’all are listening and understand what I’m saying. Another thing is: don’t think I know everything cuz, I don’t know shit. You feel me so if y’all got some advice, anything like that give it to me cuz, I’m always willing to soak up some G AME real talk so hit me with that and I’ma hit y’all something back and we going to be good. Moving on forward beat Lisa’s is really simple on the way I like to do it, even if you make a folder of 10-15 beat street like a beat tape or a sermon, I get 10 15 beats and just put them out every day every other day.
For a certain amount of money, pretty much and then once you get to a point me to have a thousand photos: 2005 three thousand four: it becomes automatic.

Those are the ones that are working. You know like the SoundCloud one I should, but it’s really tons of ways you can make money off SoundCloud you can. You can promote other people’s music. Like people get, you know, people will be sending niggas PayPal money to repost their song on soundcloud.
That’s crazy! You know like there’s tons away so between be tapes, instrumental releases be tapes, instrumental leases.

You know and just keep it like that among I’m going to also start doing. My live stream shit like that and um. That’s pretty much it! I’r rambling at this point they just treated professionally, have some sort of schedule on Soundcloud.
You know because once you start getting a following, people will expect something from you. So if they followed you because you’re putting on a song every week every other week, you got to keep doing that. You can’t disappear for two three months. That’s what happens with a lot of people. They they lose their momentum. You know that’s not what you wan na, be, thankfully sound clouds through here I don’t know chance of pulling strings or what, but I think is going nowhere.
It’s too much money behind there’s too much people making money behind it, much more money to climb. So that’s pretty much that I can’t I feel like as soon as I stop the article I’m going to think of another way like. Oh, I make money this way, so yeah do all that stuff. You just hit me up my comment, sections open. My inbox is okay, make it right now,
He was right and I feel like I was arguing just for the sake of arguing cuz, that’s what everyone does, but before I explain like further with any of this, don’t forget to leave a comment down below. Let me know what you think: passive income means to you and definitely subscribe to this blog and don’t forget to I’m leaving giving you a lot of things to do right now and don’t forget to like the article.
So that’s like subscribe and leave a comment. What you think passive income means – and let me just explain to you what I think it means well passive income to me – means making money without having to put or not without having to do work. Okay, now that doesn’t mean making money without having to penny F. In it means making money without having to do any work. Okay, there’s a big difference. There huge difference, one making money without having to do anything, no effort, no work; well, that’s like winning the lottery and even then you’ve got to go, buy a lottery ticket.
That’s like that’s, like someone just coming up to you and just giving you money, okay, that is making money without any work, any effort and nothing that doesn’t really exist unless you have like a really rich father or like something like that going on. But who does so passive income means doing something in the now that will make you money in the long run? Okay, so that could be me creating a book alright.
So you can spend hours and hours and hours making a book writing a book, and then you could publish that book and sell it. That book will hopefully make you money for years and years and years, even though you are not working on anymore. So the cool thing about passive income is passive income. Your hourly rate goes up every single day, okay, so let’s change it up a bit. Let’s say you make a course like we’ve made our amazon course right.
We make our amazon course and what s is a bit different though, but we make amazon course and then we now sell an online course. So, every day that was saying cause the time it took us to make the cause is becoming more and more valuable. Okay, so if it took us a month to make the course and we’ve made – let’s say a thousand pounds or ten thousand pounds from the course, the more we make the more power we are getting for that initial month of work now the reason the course isn’t, The best example is because we do a lot of work with the course even now, so it’s not really passing because we speak to students.
We try to help people with their businesses. We’ve run, we run a the mastermind page. We do webinars, we do. Q & A so we’re constantly doing stuff for our students, so that’s not really a passive income. What is a good example of a passive income? Is a book or or song right. You write the song, you call the song, you let the album go and you get what is it: rights, music rights, royalties? That’s what they’re called loyalty you’ll get royalties for a very, very long time.
So when someone says oh yeah, I’m all into this passive income business – and I don’t have to do any work – I don’t have to do anything. I don’t have to do anything. It’s brilliant. You should do what I’m doing. That’s complete bull, crap, okay, is rubbish. They have spent a hell of a lot of time on the initial set up initial amount of work. Okay, for example. When people tell me I don’t have to do anything, I just make money now I don’t have to do work and it’s amazing.
It’s just it’s such rubbish, I mean I can show you spreadsheets work planning just stuff that I have to do every single day for work right and now I’m not saying what I do is possible, not possible. I think what I do is an aspect of passive income because, for example, I’m making this article now right. However, I’m making money on a completely different venture, a complete different business, and that’s because I’ve set that business up to make money without me having to continuously work for it.
That is why me and Josh can travel Josh and I can travel when an English isn’t. My strong point, that is why we can take a week off work and go and travel go to the country or do whatever and still make money that week, because we have set the business up specially with Amazon that my Amazon work mainly consists of sending a Message to my supplier, when I need new stock, and that is about it every so often we have to read our ranks and try and get out the rank, trying it try and sort that out or find your product, but that can all be handle.
If you hire someone so also in the process of hiring someone, so when we hire someone who’s going to be able to handle all of that stuff, we will literally be able to take a complete backseat on our Amazon business and then, in my mind, that will Become completely passive because it had the initial set up the initial work, which was hell and then it’s now become passive. So that’s what I try to teach.
That is what I try to instill on everyone that you should try and create businesses. Now that will make you money in the long term, so try and create passive incomes. They won’t be passive straightaway because you’ll have to a ton of work to get them to become passive, but as soon as you’ve done the whole initial setup and you are making constant money from it, you can take a back seat on the whole business, and that Is when it becomes a passive income? That is when you can sit someone? Yes, I’m earning money right now and I’m lying in bed right.
That is when it becomes passive income where you’re not working per hour, but the thing to understand is with passive income. You also, firstly, there’s no guarantee they’re going to make any money, and, secondly, the initial work to create that passive income won’t necessarily make you money, for example, the whole Amazon setup that isn’t making you any money the whole creating the course that isn’t making you any Money so there’s a lot of, I think, willpower and a motivation that is needed to create a business that is passive because you can spend months and months working on a project like a book.
You can spend months and months working on that book, not knowing if it’s going to make you any money or how much money is going to make you so there’s a lot of initial work that doesn’t make you any money on the hopes and dreams that, in The long term, it will make you a lot of money which will then become passive, so passive income is brilliant, but it is a huge risk because you’re, not you, can’t ever be a hundred percent sure how much you’re going to make and if you’re going to Be anything whereas if you have a nine-to-five job, you get paid every single hour, you are working at that job.
Obviously you get holidays and all that sort of stuff, but forget about that. The only difference is who do you want to be? You know, and that’s what you can. Let me know in the comments who do you want to be? Do you want to be the risk-taker that will put in all this crazy amount of work to hopefully have a business that will work for itself or do you want to work and get paid for every hour you work and when you eventually stop working, that is It I mean you might have a pension or you might have stocks and shares or whatever you might have, but realistically that is it.
That is your money that you are now stopping being paid because you’re stopped working. What would you, what do you want to do when you’re 65 70? 80? What do you want to do? Let me know in the comments – and I hope that made sense. It may not have made sense to me. It kind of made sense, but I just was trying to define passive income. So if we’re just just recap what I just said, passive income, I think, is where you have to have a lot of initial set up work that doesn’t actually get you paid.
Anything on the hopes and on the planning, obviously, on the under the long term, you will start to make money without you even having to do anything because of the initial set up. That is what passive income is to me, and I hope that made sense. Don’t forget to subscribe, don’t forget to like this article if you did like it probably really confusing, but I don’t know and and yep see you in tomorrow’s article
If you’re reading this article, it’s for you know probably you’re interested in creating a passive income if you’ve been following me from for a while, you know I’m just your regular guy, I’m still working my regular job, but what I’m doing is I’m hustling on the side.
Creating a passive income, so I can leave that job in a matter of months and you know work on what I really want to work on full-time. A lot of people run into that in into this problem, and people have been asking the questions. How do you find the time to do it? How long does it take, and I would just want it to take a quick second and really just come at you with with my experience on and what I’ve been doing to create a more passive income lifestyle around? My regular job, so the first thing is, you need to want it number one is you need to want it? This is going to be hard.
Creating a passive income is not an easy sitting on the beach money coming in type of thing. It’s it’s it’s work. It’s it’s actually going to be more work than whatever your regular job is going to be because you don’t have a boss who’s. Looking over your shoulder, saying, hey get to work, get up you you know, keep going. This is something you have to be self-motivated for so you have to want it. You have to want it deep inside.
You know there are. There are many times where I could you know I’m working on my computer. That’s probably the worst thing that you can be doing, because the computer is the gateway to the internet, it’s the Gateway to Facebook, YouTube and I’ve caught myself multiple times where I’m you know I was like alright. Let me just take a quick break in or read a article in like half an hour an hour. Sometimes more has goodbye and I’ve just been reading YouTube articles or whatever the case is, and I’m not talking about educational articles.
I’m talking about you know, car articles or whatever it is so you have to want it. You have to be self-disciplined, but you, you really have to have a drive. You know to go after this because it’s it’s going to be an uphill battle for most of the time number two is you have to think long term, so, ii think long term. This is not happening overnight, not happening. This might happen in six months. It might take 12 months, it may take two years.
Whatever the the timeline is going to be, is you have to accept and think it’s going to be? This is a long-term project. This is a long-term commitment, or this is a long-term thing that I’m committed to. No matter how long it’s going to take, if it takes you five years to create a passive income that allows you to travel, to give you the freedom to do what you want to no longer have to work for somebody else.
What’s five years of your life, when you have the rest of your life to do whatever you want, so you have to think long term. This the third thing, a kind of current ties into that number one is you have to accept the long hours that you’re going to be doing? You know the other night Friday night I was up till 2:00 a.M. Not partying or drinking or doing any of those fun things. I was up until 2:00 a.
M. Just working on the business on. I can’t remember exactly what I was doing, but you know I was working on things that, whether it’s editing articles or just you know getting of the things writing on the back end. I was up. I was working yeah I was I you know. I was tired, but I was also excited that I wasn’t able to sleep because I was so excited about working in the business, but bottom line is you know when you’re working, if you’re working like a nine-to-five or or whatever it is you’re going to come home And you know, if you don’t have a family right now and you’re a little younger it.
You can come home and you get straight to it right. There are no really distractions other than maybe your friends. But for me you know, I finish, work and the wife comes home with the baby and the you know: we’ve both now we’ve been working all day. We we haven’t seen any other. I haven’t seen a baby, you know so I know I don’t wan na as much as I want to get to work on the business right away. Yeah.
I need to spend time with them. They deserve it. They come first. So you know I got to do that. We got to get dinner prepared and spend time time with my daughter and and all of that when do I get time for the business it’s a little in-between times, but then it’s also it’s the time when they’ve gone to bed and it’s 9:00, it’s 10 o’clock! It’s 11 o’clock and I stay up for 2 3 4 hours working and getting the things I need done.
You know it’s the weekends. I literally do not have a weekend and I had a conversation with Marianna a couple of weeks ago, maybe a month ago, when she asked me hey what do you want to do this weekend and I looked at her I’m like what do you mean she’s, like I don’t know what do you? What do you want to do? I’m like it’s. I don’t have a weekend. I literally have no weekends until I’ve left my job, that’s the mentality.
We have to think, and you know I was just telling her. I was like right. It’s yeah, I can take the weekend. You know we would go to the mall occasionally for an hour or two for it with the baby or you know. Yesterday we went to the park for a little bit, but there are no big weekend plans until I’ve hit. My goal of leaving my job – that’s it so you have to you, have to commit to these long grueling hours, because that’s the only way you’re going to get this done right, having an income where you know it essentially, you know, makes money.
Well, you see, I don’t like saying that cause it sounds stupid and cliche, but you know having a passive income. That’s working for you is not something that comes easy. It’s going to require ton of work, a ton of dedication and a ton of sacrifices, and I guess that’s what I’m kind of mean coming coming in. In fact, that’s my number four number four point here is: you have to learn to say no now, so you can say little yes later say no now, so you can say it yes later and that’s what I’ve.
I think I’ve really become great at over the last few months is just saying no to these short-term things, because I know it’s not aligning with what I want a long term. You know right now, I’m just finishing some things up: I’ve, it’s it’s Sunday and I’ve been working literally from the moment. I got up to now it’s sometime on Sunday evening and you know everyone else where’s everyone else right now, they’re at a family, carne asada Mexican barbecue they’re in a barbecue right now – and you know I’m going to be heading there and like hopefully in the next Hour or so, but why am I not there right now because it’s just a barbecue, because the amount of work I’ve got done over the last few hours is going to bring me so much closer to my goal of leaving my job in a few months.
Do I miss the barbecue and yeah? It’s it’s gorgeous outside right now, it’s sun shining, it’s like thirty, odd degrees out and they’re having their their Coronas and their beers and barbecue. Obviously I want to be there but priorities. I had to say no for that. Right now, so I can say yes to traveling the world later so yeah. I can say yes to all of the other goals that we want to do later, so just becoming disciplined is what I’m trying to get across.
You have to become disciplined realize that there are things that are going to either bring you closer to your goal or they’re going to bring you further away from your goal. The fifth thing is surround yourself with others doing what you’re doing listen. You know i-i’ve never been wanted to go along the grain, I’m always the the the the person Cohen against the grain so to speak, and I know how important it is to surround yourself with other like-minded individuals and really that’s why I I produce these articles and And you know I connect with you guys, because this can be a lonely journey.
You know, honestly, you think about my parents, for example. I don’t even know if they, they probably don’t, even know what I do or understand what I do or know what a passive income really is. You know it’s. I was seeing a post in one of my Facebook groups, and I was this 20-some 20 year old kid and talking about his parents, think that Kindle publishing is a stupid idea. Well, of course, they think it’s a stupid idea when they were 20.
The internet didn’t even exist right 20 years ago. The internet didn’t really exist. Of course, I think making money online is going to be a stupid idea. They don’t get it right, they don’t get it. I was explaining to my mum today. You know it’s like she’s, like how how’s that business that you’re doing I’m, like you, mean how’s, the blog going mum houses, of course, creating going mum. I mean I was kind of explaining to her it’s like yeah.
I have these goals that I want to hit and yeah. You know she’s like okay, I was like. Don’t worry, you’ll understand it eventually. So what I do is I surround myself with people who know what I’m doing who understand it, who get it because then I can feed off of their energy alright going back. It can be lonely a time. So I make sure I’m talking to those people who are doing what I’m doing so. I can bounce ideas off them.
If I’m feeling, like I’ve, been the only one working, you know 12, 14, 16 18 hour days. I can connect with another guy and you you know, and you know he was telling me he’s like yeah. When did he say it? He says I can’t remember when he said, but it was the number of years ago he’s like. I was doing exactly what doing hustling away and now he makes $ 500,000 a year through through you know, publishing and different online online ventures, but that’s exciting, knowing that you know I’m on the right track.
So, just to reiterate, for you guys number one is you need to want it? You need to want this. You need to want to creating a passive income above anything else, because it’s going to bring you the lifestyle and and the things that you truly want in life number two. Is you got to think long term? This is not going to happen overnight. This is going to be six months, 12 months, 24 months 36 months. It’s going to take, however long it needs to take.
You have to accept that number 3 is accept the long hours right, don’t feel bad about working late into the night. Don’t feel bad about working through your through the weekends, when your friends are out doing whatever they’re doing right. Take care of you go after your goals. Number 4 is to learn to say no now so you can say yes later. No now, so you can say. Yes later that one is so key for so many different reasons and number 5 is surround yourself with other like-minded individuals who are doing what you’re doing you know.
I only take advice. There’s a bonus one. I only take advice from people. I would switch spots with if I wouldn’t take their life in an instant. I don’t want their advice because it’s not in tuned with my goals, so anyways guys. Hopefully those five tips gave you a bit of value there, and you know how this maybe shift. Your thinking on what not let let me know please, let me know in the comments which, which tip did you like best, leave a little note in the comments, so maybe I can elaborate on it or something like that.

I have a little bit different philosophy than a lot of people that are teaching maybe make money online stuff one because I feel like I have integrity and a lot of people probably takes real work to get to a place where you don’t just put money.

That’s what i’m doing right here! I’m just going to try to go live! I’m continually updating that guide, so you sign up for that.
It’s absolutely free. Can you please give me a quick rundown on youtube works with income melissa? I think you mean like how do you make money on YouTube? Basically, it’s from the ads, but also you can monetize the traffic that you have coming in. So the more views you get, the more read time you get and the more people were coming to your blog and then YouTube promotes your articles and then they run ads on the front.
So you make money from those ads there’s other ways, but that’s basically how you start now. If you have deeper questions on how to start your own YouTube blog, that’s where you want to get the guide, I actually have where you wan na do lips. I actually have cover templates. How do you do ads? You click a little button. I mean if you have a blog right now and you you have to be able to monetize it and that’s going to take.
You have to get up your first thousand subscribers. Sorry about the roof, you know I mean, there’s no good views down here guys. So I’m sorry about the background, but you have to get a thousand subscribers and then you have to have like 12,000 hours or twelve. I don’t remember the number it’s in the guide, but you have to basically get enough people to your stuff where YouTube says that you’re eligible for monetization and that’s a new thing when I started you can monetize right away.
But I think that led to some Haxorus like so I won’t get too far into that, but you just monetize your article and then YouTube. Does everything for you? So it’s passive income and then with YouTube is great because you can schedule your articles out. So for me I got a process where I could make like 30 articles in one day and then I could schedule them out daily. So I could work for like two or three days a month and then I get three articles coming out a day for a whole month and now I don’t have to do nothing but hang out with the kids and learn about conspiracies on YouTube.
Do a lot of that? You know I like to wonder and wander so yeah if you guys want to smash like and make sure you subscribe, the blog I’m going to go deep dude, and I also I’m been excited lately because I started getting back into making more Abraham articles. You guys will notice I’ve been putting a lot of time into the music mixes like I’m trying to put dult beats behind Abraham good stuff. I haven’t seen out there right now.
It’s all meditation stuff, it’s all piano, music and stuff. So I’m trying to make it fire, you know I’m trying to make it fly, I’m trying to spruce it up a little bit. I’m trying to make a cool again Sun, bring it to the lower generations lower by lowering age younger. Okay, you can use the word younger, partying, so tough sweet. Do you have to get permission from Abe to do that? You don’t have to get permission from a no and the people that are running a bright now, basically, are pretty hands-off they’re trying not to talk to anybody.
It seems like I have emailed them. I have called them they ain’t getting back to me. So got ta wing it, so I’m just winging it a little bit, but there’s a lot of so Abe because it’s freely available, you have to keep your Clips under 15 minutes or they’ll shut, your blog down. It’ll shut your articles down rather, and you get three copyright strikes, and then you get your blog shut down, but there are some rules that go with it, but because it’s freely available, you’ve got to be, you got to be good, got ta, make a good blog Or you’re going to get lost in the sea of a blogs and now that’s what we’re doing with the group, though we’re helping people get off the ground.
So, even if you are in a high competition area abraham-hicks, which isn’t that high competition, it’s not impossible, we’re going to give you ways to stand out among the other blogs, and I mean I’m giving you my templates that I use you can change those how you Want and then we got a bunch of people in the group making AV annals and then we got stuff like sul fire academy. I have affiliate links for that.
I’m going to continue making that school better or that Academy better. Maybe – and I got a hypnosis DVDs to add to that – what’s up little baby lambs, you need hang out with me. I just took one to the forehead with a hockey stick. What’s that Batman, so I’m trying to just get back into the groove of going live again, making articles with me talking so genoise if you’re just going to do you talking that’s great but you’re, going to have to find some way to show me I’ll come with You you got a baby over.
There read her you’re walking, so you need to find a way to ride keywords. So you want to be doing topics that are D. You want to be hitting keywords, so you’re not just like talking to do talking, because then nobody’s going to see you because, like Libby because uh I wanted to see a competition. So you want to do niche keywords, and I talked about this stuff. In my other articles, but that’s why abraham-hicks articles are good because Abe gets.
You know: 100 200 thousand searches a month, so you put Abraham in that stream and then find a way to differentiate it. Whether it’s like no ads no ads during is one one. Abers thing is they’re doing no ads during which, like what all the articles are, basically anyway, the except for the really crappy ones, but Melissa, yeah tarot card readings could be cool. I would just say to get your traction where you’re known for the Tarot you’re going to want to try to do like different teachings on like what the cards mean and then off-topic well.
Thank you. I know we have a Sony a six day, seven-night Oney. I can’t think of the numbers right now: it’s weird a 7, a 7 3 a 7, the new one that came out. It’s nice, it’s a nice camera, my wife isn’t very good. I just she’s very talented and it’s so fun to read her grow into this, but yeah. She takes all the pictures using a stand or using me as a stand, and how do I add those keywords, I’m sure that’s your guide, yeah going the guide in the guide.
I teach you how to optimize every single section of the YouTube blog give you a little entertainment while we’re reading. So that goes from the icon to the keywords, and then we have links for like vid IQ, which is a tool that you can use to make your blog better and then see what keywords other people are using and then I have in the skill section. I have like keyword, research or even in how to start there’s a keyword, research section so I’ll give you different keyword tools like Google Keyword, tool or there’s like a SEM Rush.
One and I’ll give you all those in the guide. Again, the guide is Travis Ericom slash passive income. It’s free! It’s going to give you access to everything that I’ve been making for this school and I’m giving that to you guys for free. I just want to get it. My goal is: get a thousand people to $ 1,000 a month in passive income and then maybe we’ll know sky’s the limit. But if I can put that group together, it’s going to be very valuable and right now we had that discord.
This is where everybody’s hanging out, who is building something actively, and that is where we’re helping each other with our blogs, we’re helping each other with our instagrams we’re helping each other with. I don’t know we have SoundCloud. We have like people doing everything, so I just started getting into merch a lot harder. If you look at my Instagram, which is Travis, underscore Eric lives, where’d you go you’ll see.
If you look at my story today, I got a picture of the new sweatshirts that we got in. We got a new sweatshirt in and we got a new just a shirt shirt in and then I’m I’m driving a lot of aide traffic to that, and I don’t know it’s making it work. You know thanks Anna you’re awesome, Anna, yes, so Melissa. I wanted to say for tarot card readings. I would find a way to build a bunch of content around Tarot itself like.
Why is it important? What’s the history of it and then don’t just guess: guy use keyword, research to guide the topic of your articles that basically goes for any company that you’re trying to create any way you’re trying to get off the ground online. It all starts with this keyword. Research to figure out what people are already looking for, so that you’re not just talking about wallpaper when nobody cares about wallpaper but, for example, Tara, you want you know we’re not going to rank for Tarot if you’re, if you’re just starting out.
So you want to find something like the history of Tarot or the history of Babylonian Tarot. You know how you kind of get niche down into these different ways or, like Tarot eyes, relation to astrology, so you can kind of use a few key words, but like the more niche down you can get it. The more specific you can get your audience the easier it’s going to be for you to get those initial views and to get off the ground, because that’s basically the hardest thing is once you get some momentum.
You know we have like Lewis Howes out here trying to teach people how to grow their Instagram account with his new course that he’s got that he’s running ads to, and so he forgets the first step, which has become Lewis Howes thanks guys. I don’t expect you to be Lewis Howes, so I’m going to try to teach you how to get off the ground without being famous already, which is a something you don’t see.
Many people trying to do because it’s difficult, but with with the group with each other’s help, we can make it easier ke. So you had the key words and Jen it’s going to be, basically how you target those key words to the key words should be added on your title and your description. You should be using them in your tags, but a lot of it is how you target it’s like they call it the blue ocean strategy.
If you want a book, there’s a book called the blue ocean strategy, known on up your nose man. When I get off this live article I may or may not clean this basement. We just have a tornado coming through here names. I think the first time those names was lips in the second tornado, his name was Phoenix, boobs ha yeah. You put, let’s put all this away. Little baby sweet sweet little baby, let’s see if we can get it all back in the bag.
Okay, sweet baby! Again, I’m trying to get my live. My live chat, momentum back right. I was doing it every day for a while. If you go back in, we got the passive income school. I got lots of articles on how to start on YouTube on Amazon. Amazon is another great way to get traffic, we’re all about getting paid to drive traffic so with YouTube you get money to send people other places, basically making it even harder.
Pickup lives. Perfect then, with Amazon same thing, and it’s all kind of like I’m, really big on building an entire brand out so yeah you could hack YouTube. You could hack Amazon, but you want to try to build something. That’s in alignment with you, so you can become a personal brand or you can make a brand around a topic that you enjoy so that it’s not just a one-off thing. But it’s something that you can continue to build on for the rest of your life and then this is like the true way to retire, because you retire by creating something valuable that people will just continue to pay you for even after you’re dead, you can give It to your kids, you can whatever so and then you build a life that you don’t want to retire from.
That’s the goal right. You want to find something. That’s in alignment with you! That’s that you love to do and then like. Oh, nothing just playing with little baby lives in a little live article trying to teach people how get free yeah. You know yeah. So it’s 20 minutes, usually I like going for an hour guys but we’re busy. We had the kids here, it’s chaos. So I’m going to wrap this on the wraps, I’m going to wrap this up.
You guys read my article from yesterday. If you’re new, to my experience, it’s called how to start and it’s the top check out. My live articles check out the new aid that I’m doing go on my Instagram today. If you want to see my story, you’ll be able to see the merch, the first merch that we got back from Amazon merch, I’m going to check the quality, I’m going to run a quality that by the wife. She is the quality, control expert and then check out the guide.
The guide is the most important thing: I’m it’s a it’s. A Google Drive, so I’m giving you access to the Google Drive where I have. I have more stuff than you can imagine you’re going to look at that and you’re going to be like. Is he seriously giving me all this stuff away for free, that’s ridiculous? Who is this guy? Why is he doing this? What does he? What does he have? What is in it for him, you know, doesn’t matter, I want to help.
I want to give away the freedom that I have felt from getting passive income myself. It’s a beautiful thing. It’s a beautiful way to live, and once you have, the mindset shift. You basically can’t go back to getting a job and not building something for yourself, so it’s freeing and then dude. I’m constantly updating that guide, I’m always making it better. That’s for you guys YouTube Amazon. I have hacks so like.
If you have no creativity, if you have nowhere to start I’m giving you the steps, I’m taking away all the excuses, all you have to do is a little bit of work. It’s a little bit of work, a little bit of building so but you’re going to learn, really great skills tips. You can take these into any company which is which is beautiful. You can take them into any company, so this makes you a valuable person once you learn this stuff and then when the AI and the machines start taking over, if you can build yourself a brand or a personal brand, then you can become irreplaceable when they start Replacing everybody with apps – and you know, like all the lawyers you’re leaving all the accountants.
Sorry, you don’t got jobs, everything everybody’s going to college for right now, I’m getting into huge amounts of debt. Well, the landscape is changing people. It’s changing very fast, changing very rapidly. So we’re going to try and make y’all robot proof right and the only way to do that is become a personal brand and to be able to create art and be able to create know how it goes quit your 9 to 5 well Melissa.
My personal story. I refuse to get a 9 to 5. I had I had ones on and off I mean probably since 7 years ago I was basically doing like odd jobs. I was making a little bit of money on Amazon and then I worked at a bar. I graduated college, so I was living on loans for a long time. I play professional poker, so I didn’t have to have a job. Then cuz. I was playing poker and I was another one of those things, but I realized you know I just like always been trying to start my own businesses, so that’s been happening for like 7 years, almost a decade, and so I didn’t have a job in college.
I was living off my loans and then after college I bartend it and I was doing passive income stuff and kicking it around. And then I moved to Colorado and I got a job for like six months, maybe working Fastenal while I was doing passive income stuff, and then I had my first kid and that kid stuck up on me snuck up on me. It was unexpected little surprise and you know there was a lot of pressure, then to get a job, but I just refused.
I said no I’m going to make this passive income thing work, no matter what and then it was like kind of coincidental like as soon as the kid came clicked put in so when I figured out all the tips and all the tricks and everything that I’m Giving you guys so for YouTube. My first blog made two thousand dollars in the first month, but then that blog got shut down, because I was updating or uploading like full audiobooks, which is you know it’s illegal sorry, but I was hustling dude.
I had a kid. I was trying to make money. I was trying to figure this thing out. I was trying to have to be able to stay home with them right. So then, then I found some earnings on Amazon and I’ve. Been I’ve been kicking around Amazon books for a while. My buddy Nate who’s in the chat who’s in the discord group, pushing ttan. You can go talk to him. He’d been. I gave him Amazon books he’d been kicking around for years.
He been writing his own books. He been hiring writers and I’ve been talking to him, and then it just clicked for me the fastest way to do that, which is in the guide. I’d give you the fastest way, and once I learned that it was like three months before I was making like 10 grand a month in passive income from that one business so and that business I haven’t touched it in two two years now and even a year Before that I had it all out sourced, so I had writers at 21 writers working for me and I had one point I had my grandma and my mom working for me and then I you know, working with family can be tough, so I replaced them with An outsourcer you know: I’ve been through the wringer.
I’ve been learning how to outsource these things. How do systematize everything? That’s what I’m good at, but anyways yeah it took me like three months after I figured out what I’m giving you in the guide. I got it really fast and I flew when I went off the ground so well. Babe suite law, baby labs, but the thing is is once you have. This mindset shift from train trading your time for money to creating value that people can consume again and again and again, and you build the brand.
Then it really doesn’t matter how it is it’s just a matter of time. It’s just like. After a while you will, it will click for you. So that’s everything like my wife she’s when she had this shift. She started figuring this out. Now she said stuff like dude. I couldn’t like she’ll have opportunities and she’s like. I can’t do that because I can’t just work for somebody else and now she’s she had a phone call today and they’re going to char they’re.
You know they’re trying to pay her more to do like influence or outreach for their company and she right now she’s doing like the aesthetic. She loves the photos of it, but it’s tricky because they’ll want you to take on more than you actually wanted to do. So it’s really powerful to be able to say no, actually I’m just going to do what I love to do, instead of roping me into being an influencer or in a social media like a role or like be hired as an employee, or do anything that I Don’t love to do and that’s really powerful because it can be hard to take off from the ground because you’ll make less money from each individual client.
But if you stay in what you’re really good at and what you can give to the world – and you don’t waste your time around, the edges then like well, she can hire more clients and they can pay her more money than her old clients and she can Add 20 of them and they can all pay her. Like ridiculous, I mean the amount of money that you can make is is exponential and, more importantly, how you spend your time and what you do every day can light you on fire.
So then you’re it’s an alignment with the ABE stuff, because you love what you’re doing that’s the most yeah yeah I mean that’s. The bug you catch is that you you get by on your on the side, things you know uber or with lyft or with any, with anything that you can bartending just something to just be able to keep your freedom so that you can keep creating businesses. And I don’t know I just I don’t.
It was kind of apparent to me in college that that’s that that path was just um. It was a trap better, like I mean dude what I’m an ADK of student loan debt and with a traditional job. I will never get out of that. I hope I will probably pass that down in my kids, so I was like something right about this and then I was in. I was like pre-med and then I went into nursing school and you know it’s like automatic.
Like 80 K a year, but then if I need to make, if I want to make more than that, I would have to go back to school and get more debt, and I couldn’t make that much more. So I was like I don’t know I like stuff with no ceilings and when you run your own business and when your critten streams a passive income, there are no ceilings, you can just add another stream or create another company, and the hardest part is just like Figuring out all the pieces, because it’s it’s a huge it’s like trying to learn Chinese or something it’s like it’s a whole new language and the Internet has trips and like say like there’s ways to waste your time that are infinite, and so that’s what I’m trying To do with this guide is give everybody a focus.
Let them know like the easiest fastest, quickest way with the least effort, like that’s what everybody’s looking for right. So I’m trying to give that to you and then as even more valuable than that and something that I never had was like this group. So, there’s thousand to a thousand group: that’s on discord, great energy in there everybody’s helping each other in there – and I don’t know it’s really so much deeper than just making money online.
It’s really about a lifestyle and not sacrificing who you are and creating your life to go. It’s up jam in alignment with you, what you love values, how you want to spend your time, the people you want to hang out with it’s just like it all matters. So then I got other stuff there’s like Seoul Fire Academy. I think there, if you guys, haven’t been on Seoul Fire Academy. It’s a school Haley and I put together when we went into the mountains Academy and I have a master universe course on there.
So, like I’m, I don’t know I’ve I’ve gone deep on the law of attraction stuff. I understand that stuff in a pretty in a pretty deep way, deep enough to know that everybody has their own path and that’s just not how I want to show up in the world it’s by telling people what to do as far as spiritual, because my next Date: what’s up tias and arrow t0 go it’s a dope name. I wish I could read better, but what’s up it’s good to see you thank you guys for reading this article and for hanging out with me and if you guys want to learn about passive income, getting that dollars into a thousand group.
It should be in the description check me out on Instagram. I got my merch up there. Travis Eric go to Travis, Ericom click, passive income. That’s going to get you the guide, that’s free! That has all the secrets, I’m adding to it every day, I’m always making that thing better. There’s info in there that you would be charged a thousand bucks to get access to, and I’m giving that to you for free, because I care about you, because I want to try to free as many people from this system as I can.
So. No lowering all the barriers, the entry seems like a good way to start doing that here’s a little baby libs, that’s the other thing. Like I’m a father, I’m not you know. I mean I care more about how I spend my time than I do about how I’m working so I’ve spent a lot of time with my kids with my wife, we’re always growing from the inside out. It’s much more important to me than like, but don’t get me wrong, I’m aiming for billions.
So this is no there’s no joke, but I’m also I’m just not of the mindset that you should hustle every day and sacrifice anything like if you sacrifice your health for money, you’re messing up because you can’t buy. You can’t buy your health so knock that off. You can’t you know you got ta sleep and you got to eat right and you got to raise your energy because everything that you’re creating outside of that comes from you being balanced as a person.
Okay thousand monkeys, baby. That’s right! That’s right! Melissa! I wan na see you in the group. I want to see you guys in there be active, build something Jen. I know you got some stuff built. Let’s take it to the next level. Let’s optimize it, let’s run traffic to it. Let’s find some different ways: baby. We go get you some vitamin C. Some orange juice got a little bit of that runny nose. What you mean to you, what you mean when I see all your media blogs baby? Well, so I’m trying to build! You want a bottle lips! Okay! So if you look at the guide, I’m trying to build freedom businesses, so I mean I don’t know what you mean exactly about offline income, but they rarely fit the freedom business model, not that they can’t but freedom business model.
One of the things for me, and it doesn’t have to be for you if there’s not what you want you can. You know take the pieces that I can teach you that resonate and then disregard all the others that don’t fit or that you want to do different. That’s completely fine, my way! Isn’t that the only way it’s just the way that works for me, but as far as being a freedom and a freedom business, one of those things is I’m being location-independent, so online allows you to freedom, to work from a laptop or to outsource stuff or to Schedule stuff out so that you don’t have to be there there you go.
That’s your name. Did I say that right so not using online meet social media. Do you have offline from social media streams of Revenue, offline streams of revenue like what would that be? I don’t know it doesn’t compute Diego. Thank You, Man, it’s nice, to meet you. I don’t know it doesn’t compute for me. When you say offline, I don’t know, I can’t it doesn’t offline online. I’ve been on the online world for a minute, but I know some of the older generations who didn’t grow up with cell phones in their hands.
Those balls lips, that’s displaced enough of a mess already we’re not getting out. The thousand balls here come here. Lay with me: let’s have a battle. What do you want? You want two balls, so you don’t have to use social media. My guy, I I’m not on Facebook. Really. I deleted the app off my phone. I check it very sparsely it’s it’s up to you and what your thing is. So no I mean I I kind of I advocate creating an entire brand around what you’re trying to do so I mean I’m big on like.
If you look me up you’ll find me on Facebook. You’ll find me I’ll, read it. I have a reddit blog you’ll find me on like every platform, because I like to experiment, I like to try everything. I have a bunch of different merchant cons. I got Amazon merch, I got a tea spraying. I got a bunch of them, but that’s me and I think that’s part of me being a teacher of this passive income’ thing. It’s like I have to try everything.
I need to know what the best route is and what doesn’t work. So good worked in working from home. You don’t need all the platforms. If you follow the school, you could do one platform well and win. So I have made full-time income on YouTube alone. I’ve made a full-time income on Amazon alone and I’m continuing to add more so we got, you know, got schools, there’s coaching, there’s, there’s all kinds of different ways that you can do this and I’m really big on like.
If, for for one, you can’t be stuck in who you are so if there’s something that, like is just a mental block for you, it’s going to help you a lot to expand, but the second thing of that is like don’t do anything that you don’t enjoy, That you, that you hate that you detest like if you hate going on YouTube or whatever, which doesn’t make sense, cuz you’re on it right now, but there’s a blog out there.
That fits you and your personality. You don’t have to be expected to do anything that you don’t want to do. That’s like what I’m trying to do here is not get you to sacrifice, but get you to have your whole life in alignment with who you are and how you can give value. Specifically to the world, I do believe that every single person has something that they can give the world that is unique to them to their experience, to their skills to their mindset, and they basically just need the tools to understand how to do that effectively and how To get seen because that’s the hardest part when you’re starting out right, Lebs just getting off the ground, how do you get your first thousand followers? How do you get your first thousand dollars a month in passive income, and I see most teachers are trying to teach people who haven’t got that step like step two step.
Two is like: how do you run Facebook Ads and how do you get your funnel right and how do you get you know, but first you need traffic. Okay traffic is step one. It’s the hardest thing to do, especially with no money, because most people are buying traffic and they’re, sending that traffic somewhere that doesn’t quite work and they’re just wasting money. There’s a lot of ways to burn money in this field, which is why I advocate starting with none, which is another reason this school is free.
Yes, ta go read that material. I think you’ll like it. You know, if it’s overwhelming for you, then maybe this isn’t your thing, and this isn’t for everybody like some people like in told what to do not-not-not, I got on meaning like that. You know it’s like some people would rather somebody like direct them and tell them what to do, and then they get security that way of like ok. I know that you’ve got this and there’s just it’s people all right.
It’s just people and every single one of us fits perfectly in this world. So there’s nothing wrong with that, but uh this isn’t for everybody, but if it resonates, if something’s here for you then go check out the guide, it’s a great place to start. I try to put everything in there and then, if you have questions on any of that stuff come into the discord group, I think Jeff will be able to help you Nate will be able to help you there’s a bunch of people in there who know what They’re doing who’ve been around yes, that’s Jim, yes, Jen, Jen you’re in the group.
I think right. I hope so yeah. It’s it’s cool, startup blanks. What is your philosophy behind creating online streams of Revenue? I’m sorry. I’ve been a little behind your stuff, yeah dude catch up on the other articles, I kind of go over this every time I think, but basically I think so, especially for my own experience like you never know when something that you’re doing is going to get shut Down or can get shut down, it’s just like the platform change is or the thing that you’re doing is controversial and it’s not something that the controllers want out into the world or, like maybe I said, the wrong thing on one of my live articles, and now, Like my stuff is blacklisted, and so now my revenue goes down like whenever somebody else controls the stuff that you have.
You need a bunch of multiple streams in order to get that security, so I’ve gotten YouTube blog shut down. I’ve gotten Amazon accounts shut down. So I just can’t phase you, you just learn every step of the way, but then, most importantly, you create multiple streams of online income and that’s good, because multiple streams of income is good. You get paid on different times of the day. There are different times of the month now Libby’s running around, with no diaper on go pee in the carpet, which is just it’s a good time per traffic to YouTube.
I don’t know the context of your question Jen, but just traffic in general. It’s the first part. Every time, okay, I sense yes bless her she’s amazing, but I sense that I have some chaos burns. So I’m going to have to go wrestle the chaos clean this house up a little bit tackle them. Cats hang out, maybe read a little movie. Maybe we’ll play a little bit of Mario, I don’t know, but thank you guys, thanks for reading, I’m going to try to do this every single day we’re going to see how that goes.
But I want to I’m going to be I’m going to be in the discord, I’m going to be helping people out as much as possible with you guys questions and then any big questions, I’m going to add it to the guide so make sure you’re. Reading the guide make sure you’re checking it frequently and then, if you have questions yeah feel free to reach out on discord, feel free to reach out on my next live article hit the bell notifications.

Jen I’ve been focused on a minute on research, get to play with Google Earth Pro you’re, getting us to free traffic. Seeing discord, sweet beautiful! Yes, oh, you know, she’s naughty dog yeah guys it’s been real. Thank you on this one. Thank you.
Go on yeah Amy up on discord I’ll be on there checking immediately love you guys. Let’s get freedom, financial freedom, baby thousand people into a thousand bucks a month and passive income. My name is Travis Eric. I’m your passive income spirit guide, I’ll, see you tomorrow.
He was right and I feel like I was arguing just for the sake of arguing cuz, that’s what everyone does, but before I explain like further with any of this, don’t forget to leave a comment down below. Let me know what you think: passive income means to you and definitely subscribe to this blog and don’t forget to I’m leaving giving you a lot of things to do right now and don’t forget to like the article.
So that’s like subscribe and leave a comment. What you think passive income means – and let me just explain to you what I think it means well passive income to me – means making money without having to put or not without having to do work. Okay, now that doesn’t mean making money without having to penny F. In it means making money without having to do any work. Okay, there’s a big difference. There huge difference, one making money without having to do anything, no effort, no work; well, that’s like winning the lottery and even then you’ve got to go, buy a lottery ticket.
That’s like that’s, like someone just coming up to you and just giving you money, okay, that is making money without any work, any effort and nothing that doesn’t really exist unless you have like a really rich father or like something like that going on. But who does so passive income means doing something in the now that will make you money in the long run? Okay, so that could be me creating a book alright.
So you can spend hours and hours and hours making a book writing a book, and then you could publish that book and sell it. That book will hopefully make you money for years and years and years, even though you are not working on anymore. So the cool thing about passive income is passive income. Your hourly rate goes up every single day, okay, so let’s change it up a bit. Let’s say you make a course like we’ve made our amazon course right.
We make our amazon course and what s is a bit different though, but we make amazon course and then we now sell an online course. So, every day that was saying cause the time it took us to make the cause is becoming more and more valuable. Okay, so if it took us a month to make the course and we’ve made – let’s say a thousand pounds or ten thousand pounds from the course, the more we make the more power we are getting for that initial month of work now the reason the course isn’t, The best example is because we do a lot of work with the course even now, so it’s not really passing because we speak to students.
We try to help people with their businesses. We’ve run, we run a the mastermind page. We do webinars, we do. Q & A so we’re constantly doing stuff for our students, so that’s not really a passive income. What is a good example of a passive income? Is a book or or song right. You write the song, you call the song, you let the album go and you get what is it: rights, music rights, royalties? That’s what they’re called loyalty you’ll get royalties for a very, very long time.
So when someone says oh yeah, I’m all into this passive income business – and I don’t have to do any work – I don’t have to do anything. I don’t have to do anything. It’s brilliant. You should do what I’m doing. That’s complete bull, crap, okay, is rubbish. They have spent a hell of a lot of time on the initial set up initial amount of work. Okay, for example. When people tell me I don’t have to do anything, I just make money now I don’t have to do work and it’s amazing.
It’s just it’s such rubbish, I mean I can show you spreadsheets work planning just stuff that I have to do every single day for work right and now I’m not saying what I do is possible, not possible. I think what I do is an aspect of passive income because, for example, I’m making this article now right. However, I’m making money on a completely different venture, a complete different business, and that’s because I’ve set that business up to make money without me having to continuously work for it.
That is why me and Josh can travel Josh and I can travel when an English isn’t. My strong point, that is why we can take a week off work and go and travel go to the country or do whatever and still make money that week, because we have set the business up specially with Amazon that my Amazon work mainly consists of sending a Message to my supplier, when I need new stock, and that is about it every so often we have to read our ranks and try and get out the rank, trying it try and sort that out or find your product, but that can all be handle.
If you hire someone so also in the process of hiring someone, so when we hire someone who’s going to be able to handle all of that stuff, we will literally be able to take a complete backseat on our Amazon business and then, in my mind, that will Become completely passive because it had the initial set up the initial work, which was hell and then it’s now become passive. So that’s what I try to teach.
That is what I try to instill on everyone that you should try and create businesses. Now that will make you money in the long term, so try and create passive incomes. They won’t be passive straightaway because you’ll have to a ton of work to get them to become passive, but as soon as you’ve done the whole initial setup and you are making constant money from it, you can take a back seat on the whole business, and that Is when it becomes a passive income? That is when you can sit someone? Yes, I’m earning money right now and I’m lying in bed right.
That is when it becomes passive income where you’re not working per hour, but the thing to understand is with passive income. You also, firstly, there’s no guarantee they’re going to make any money, and, secondly, the initial work to create that passive income won’t necessarily make you money, for example, the whole Amazon setup that isn’t making you any money the whole creating the course that isn’t making you any Money so there’s a lot of, I think, willpower and a motivation that is needed to create a business that is passive because you can spend months and months working on a project like a book.
You can spend months and months working on that book, not knowing if it’s going to make you any money or how much money is going to make you so there’s a lot of initial work that doesn’t make you any money on the hopes and dreams that, in The long term, it will make you a lot of money which will then become passive, so passive income is brilliant, but it is a huge risk because you’re, not you, can’t ever be a hundred percent sure how much you’re going to make and if you’re going to Be anything whereas if you have a nine-to-five job, you get paid every single hour, you are working at that job.
Obviously you get holidays and all that sort of stuff, but forget about that. The only difference is who do you want to be? You know, and that’s what you can. Let me know in the comments who do you want to be? Do you want to be the risk-taker that will put in all this crazy amount of work to hopefully have a business that will work for itself or do you want to work and get paid for every hour you work and when you eventually stop working, that is It I mean you might have a pension or you might have stocks and shares or whatever you might have, but realistically that is it.
That is your money that you are now stopping being paid because you’re stopped working. What would you, what do you want to do when you’re 65 70? 80? What do you want to do? Let me know in the comments – and I hope that made sense. It may not have made sense to me. It kind of made sense, but I just was trying to define passive income. So if we’re just just recap what I just said, passive income, I think, is where you have to have a lot of initial set up work that doesn’t actually get you paid.
Anything on the hopes and on the planning, obviously, on the under the long term, you will start to make money without you even having to do anything because of the initial set up. That is what passive income is to me, and I hope that made sense.
