Introduction
Everybody seems to like (or at least aim) to work at home these days. Why not?
It’s fun and you get to have more control in your life.
But the problem is most people doesn’t have the necessary skills to be a successful
freelancer. Also, learning a new skill without earning anything sucks, that’s why
most of them quit in the first 30 days.
In this short guide, I’m gonna help you start a freelancing career, build your skills
on the side while also earning at the same time.
Step 4 – Let the original (cheap) freelancer do the work for you. By doing this, you
don’t have to be an expert in anything.
You’ll get to split the difference between the original freelancer’s price and the
price you choose on Fiverr. Profit per customer will range from $4 - $50 depending
on how much is your service.
Step 5 – Upsell the customers so you can increase their purchase value
Once you’re already earning, you can spend the extra time actually learning the
skills that you wanted to learn.
Let’s say that your best-seller has always been about e-book cover designs.
Well you can learn how to do it on your extra time. In the meantime, let other
people do it for you.
Once you feel like you can already provide great service, you can now do the work
yourself and keep all the profits for yourself.
Personally, I choose not to be an expert on anything (partly because I’m lazy).
Then I just let others do the work for me for a fee.
However, if you want to make more money in the future and charge 20x as much
for the same work, then I highly recommend that you get good at just one or two
things.
With that said, this book will focus on the steps that I laid out to you. I will discuss
each step in detail and you’ll know exactly what to do once you finished reading it.
SEOCLERK.COM doesn’t just focus on seo services, they have services about
ebooks, design, social media etc.
What I always do is search for a service and then arrange them by price (lowest to
highest). By doing this, I’ll get to see the cheap services that I can sell on Fiverr for
$5-$15 for the front end service.
Like I said, there’s hundreds of categories to choose from. But that could be a
problem as well, so I decide to just give you my top 4 service categories to sell on
Fiverr.
Not all of these are guaranteed to become best-sellers since there’s a lot of factors
that can affect your sales.
However, rest assured that you’ll have better chances of success if you start with
these services.
#1 – SEO SERVICES
Web 2.0
PBNs
Link Building
Services like Facebook likes, Twitter followers, Twitter retweets, YouTube views,
YouTube subscribers etc.
Once you chose one category, do the same thing as the last one and arrange it by
price.
Make sure that you save or bookmark the service that you plan on selling.
Also, I recommend that you start with $1 services because you’ll get to earn more
and not have any problem with barrier of entry.
Most people probably won’t buy a $30 service from a newbie. That’s okay.
Just focus on low end services first and build your customer base.
In time, you’ll get to attract higher paying clients and you can move out of Fiverr if
you choose to.
For now, JUST DO THE EFFIN WORK. There’s no shortcut here, just a lot of
hard work.
#3 – WORDPRESS
Go browse around and look at the possible services you can sell.
I can guarantee you that you’ll never run out of ideas to sell in this market.
#4 – WRITING
Any kind of writing services will do.
Even with the boost of videos and audio, the written word will always be in
demand.
Go browse around as well since there’s too many kinds of writing services for me
to discuss it all in this book.
Once you’ve narrowed down the type of service you want to sell, you can now
confirm if there’s really a market for it.
The next step is to make sure that there are other sellers selling the same kind of
service.
If there are no or only 3-4 sellers of that service, then it might be a good idea to just
find another market.
Also, we want to look at the reviews. Are there 100+ reviews or are there only 10
(or less than 10).
We want a lot of reviews since it means that there are buyers in that market.
Even if there’s only 3 sellers but there’s 100+ reviews, it would still be a great idea
to consider this market since it could be an untapped one.
This could be a good market to sell into. However, you may want to create a more
targeted service.
You can also search for other possible services that you can sell under that niche.
INSTAGRAM LIKES
This market isn’t as big as YOUTUBE VIEWS.
There are 10+ people selling the same thing and their listing images sucks!
If you can create a more appealing on than these, then you can make money in this
market.
On the next chapter, I’ll give you some examples of awesome listing images.
Once you’re done with market confirmation, it’s time to create your Fiverr listing.
Fiverr.com
Chapter 3 – Fiverr Listing Strategy
To create your listing, go to the dashboard and click SELLING and then CREATE
A GIG.
TITLE
What are you going to give them when they buy your service?
E.g.
CATEGORY
You can go to your competitors listing and see what he’s using.
TAGS
Your tags should be the exact word customers are typing on the search bar.
E.g.
Next is PRICING.
The key to making more than just $5 per sale is to offer more packages.
Some people will order just the basic package but the real money is in the upsell
and the extra gigs.
The only thing I want you to change is the quantity of your service. Make the
delivery date similar for all 3 packages.
To offer these other packages, you have to talk to your original seller and make a
deal with him.
Make sure that he can provide the service on time and make sure that you’ll still
make money after you’ve paid him his share.
Whatever extra gig you are selling, you should have your seller ready to do it for
you.
For the extra gigs, you can add faster delivery date, they can get the source files,
add revisions etc.
These may seem like tiny additions, but in reality, most of your sales will actually
come from it!
The front end $5-$15 sales are great but it won’t make you the most amount of
money.
DESCRIPTION
This one is about SEO but it can be applied in any type of service.
https://www.fiverr.com/turnkeyz/get-your-website-on-google-page-1-with-my-
seo?
context=recommendation&context_type=natural&context_alg=gig_views_graph&context_referr
cc25-4978-a21f-77bbcda12c44
The first step is to mention what you are selling and to guarantee the highest
quality work and result.
You can edit this in the future so you can skip this for now.
REQUIREMENTS
Every service needs some kind of requirement from the buyer.
If you’re selling YOUTUBE VIEWS, then you may need them to provide their
youtube url and the keywords they want to rank for.
Fill this one up and make sure that you mention the requirements pre-requisite to
doing the service.
GALLERY
If your gallery sucks, then they would assume that your service also sucks. Unfair,
but that’s just how it all works.
I can’t teach you how to create or edit images but I can how you some examples of
what works well.
Also, you can pretty much judge an image listing by how it looks.
Here are some bad examples:
The ones that looks like it was created in 2 minutes usually sucks.
Here are some awesome ones.
If you did your listing right, you will start getting orders in a few days.
Once you got an order, you’ll just passed up the information to your original seller.
Make sure that he knows exactly what you are asking for.
In the beginning, the process will be a little bit confusing for the both of you.
But once you got some projects under your belt, it’ll all be systematize and you’ll
both know what to do each time you work on something.
Here’s how.
Chapter 4 – Sell More of It
You just have to send a series of messages on Fiverr to your current customers.
This is all about acknowledging his order. In this part, you won’t try to sell
anything. You’ll just give him a link to your Fiverr listing at the end of the
message.
The next message is you just asking if he needs anything else. Most people who
buy will probably need another service in the span of 1 week.
In this message, you want to come across as someone who can help him solve his
problems.
If you provided an awesome 1st service, then he’ll probably consider you again the
next time he needs another service.
Day 10 –Extras
On day 10, you’ll just send a message saying that if they order a service within the
next 3 days, you will add some kind of extra service (additional revision, source
file) without increasing the price. Tell them that this offer won’t be featured on the
sales listing, however, you will honor this agreement if they order within 3 days.
It’s been 30 days since their last order and you still haven’t heard from them.
Tell them that you’re giving them another chance to order in the next 5 days and
you’ll give them some extra without any additional charge.
If they still didn’t order, then just forget about them for 4 months and just repeat
the process starting from Day 10-Day 30.
Just genuinely give them what they need and as for the sale.
Conclusion
I hope that you’re now ready to use the information and actually start a freelancing
business.
But I still want you to try. I still want you to work hard at it.
You’ll never really know if this business model is for you until you give it a shot.

Introduction
Conclusion
Introduction
Hello ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this short training manual about making
money online through Shopify marketing.
What I really like about this business idea is it doesn’t require you to spend money
on advertisements.
Yes, FB ads (and other marketing methods) are effective. But they do cost a little
bit of money to get started.
For this book, I’m gonna teach you a model that only requires you to spend a low
amount of money on the Shopify store itself and then the “marketing” part will be
free.
We will use Instagram growth marketing to build an audience quickly and have
“ready to buy” customers as soon as you post something on your feed.
Now, I’m not gonna lie to you and say that it’s gonna be easy. I don’t know you,
your experience and work ethic. So I cannot guarantee that you will kill it in this
game.
What I can promise you is if you stick with the game plan, you work hard and you
put in the effort to provide good content to your customers – then I don’t see no
reason why you can make at least 4-5 figures per month.
Not all markets are equal, especially when applying this exact business model.
So you gotta choose something that already has an audience and following.
I recommend that you target pop culture references like tv shows, movies, actors,
singers, etc.
Let’s say you’re a fan of motorcycles and you like the brand Ducati.
Most people would probably be familiar with it but that doesn’t mean they are part
of that market.
So what you’ll do is go to Instagram and type some hashtags that may be related to
Ducati.
There are currently over 3 million+ and counting hashtags right now.
By searching through this hashtags, I found that there are some certain Ducati
motorcycles that has really huge following and lots of hashtags.
These are hashtags that I can also use later for Instagram marketing.
Just typing the word #ducatiscrambler already gave me hashtags with thousands of
searches.
Sure, it’s not as huge as the niche “Ed Sheeran” but we can still make money off of
it.
If you don’t know where to start, I suggest that you search for top 10 X in your
chosen field/niche.
E.g.
I like to target either recent trending topics or perennial ones like this.
E.g.
Or something more recent…
Once you got your topic, just go back to Instagram and search for related hashtags.
Once you’ve chosen your main topic, now it’s time to find a product that you can
sell.
Chapter 2 – Product Selection
This means we will just order a product from the supplier every time someone buys
anything from our store.
Our job is to sell the product and make sure that the suppliers delivers it on time.
For my niche, I can sell anything from mugs, t-shirts, stickers, keychains to
motorcycle accessories.
If you have to sell it at a higher price and spend more money on shipping, do it.
http://shopify.com/?ref=red-publishing
You can receive money through tons of different payment methods but the 2 main
ones are Shopify Payments and PayPal.
SHIPPING
You can choose the shipping rate between FREE, PER WEIGHT and PER PRICE.
For this method, I recommend that you just choose free shipping for all products.
You can just increase the price of the product to get that money back.
TAXES
It depends on you if you want to charge taxes or not, personally I don’t mess with
this one.
Next, go to your ACCOUNT.
THEMES
I usually just start with the free themes.
There’s a lot of different themes and most of them are too complicated.
I know, not too “pop culture’ish” but it’s still profitable. I just targeted celebrities
who are passionate about camping and connected this product to those celebs.
Then weight…
And then add variants if you need to.
***
Save this link and go use a URL shortener like goo.gl and bitly.com.
In order for you to get free customers, you need to give them something valuable
first.
Are you giving them something cool? Something new? Something that will engage
them?
Cause if you aren’t, then there’s no way that they’re gonna follow your Instagram
account.
Also, this strategy doesn’t require you to have any original content!
Just be candid and tell them that you’re going to give them credit.
People will appreciate this more because you’re not just randomly stealing their
images.
Also, most of them will give you high quality image since you’ll be tagging them
in the photo and they won’t wanna look bad in those tag photos.
Hi Name. I really like what you posted on your profile 2 days ago. Your scrambler
and your pics are awesome! Do you mind if I share that photo on my Insta fan
page related to all Ducati Scramblers?
I would really appreciate if you can send it here on DM. Thanks Name, and keep
up the good work on your feed.
Once you got your photo, post it on your own Insta feed.
Once you start posting “potato” quality images, then you’ll start losing followers
immediately.
The more high quality images you post, the more followers you’ll get.
Make sure that you engage them by stating a fact and asking a question.
E.g.
Another thing that you can add is to ask them to send their entries on your DM.
If they have awesome photos, let them know that you’ll gladly post them on your
Insta page as well.
#3 – Give Credit
It means you’re the aggregator of content in the market. It means you’re the one
who’s in charge of posting the best photos in your market.
#4 – Hashtags, lots of it
This is who people will found you.
You need to put lots of related (and even some unrelated) hashtags on your photos.
#5 – Comment back
Engage them and let them know that you would appreciate a follow back too.
Speaking of follow back, anyone who likes your photos (especially in the
beginning) should be automatically followed back.
You can do this by using some Instagram software (just search Google).
#6 – Consistency
The more content you put out, the more followers you’ll get and the easier it’ll be
for you to sell something in your market.
#7 – Bonus Advice
For your first few images, you won’t have many followers so it’ll be harder to
convince them to share their photo.
What I recommend that you do is post pictures that you can get from Google and
just give websites who posted them credit.
This is in the gray area but I never met someone who got legally charge from
posting a photo that is readily available in public.
Chapter 5 – Instagram Promotions
So you got your followers, you’re posting once a day and you got hundreds of not
thousands of followers.
You just let them know about some new product or some kind of new deal.
The key here is to just keep posting content every day and then post a SALES
POST at least once a week.
E.g.
**
It’s a simple way to sell your product and it works.
Let them decide on their own and just be cool whether they buy it or not.
Your job is to just keep producing (outsourcing) great content and keep posting
them for others to see.
Some people will buy (again and again) and some won’t.
Conclusion
You now have everything you need to get started with this business model.
You must keep posting awesome images and be consistent with it.
Anyone can make money off of this business model.
Good luck!
BLOGGING
QUICK START
How to find a niche, start a blog and
create a plan to make a living via blogging
7. Natural Healing
Times are changing and we are going back to the old way of getting healed. Western medicine is dying and in my
opinion the large corporations from the medicine industries will try to kill this niche market. Don’t be afraid to go in
this niche, good guys always win and people will realize how scammy the western medicine industry really is.
5. Career
People are losing their jobs. Nobody’s hiring anymore. If you can find a way to help these people then you will be a
very very rich and happy man.
Find ways to build a better resume, teach them how to answer interviews.
Special Niches
Aside from these niches, there are niches that doesn’t exist in the past that are available today. The very best
example I can give you is the PREPPER niche. With the rise of popularity of The Walking Dead and all those
zombie movies, people are starting to prepare for it. It may sound silly to you but these people are irrationally
passionate about these things. It’s not just zombies by the way, it could be a certain disease or a nuclear war. It
could be anything.
I swear my neighbor is a vampire. Oh, that could be another niche eh?
Narrowing Your Niche
Once you got your niche, it’s time to narrow it down even more.
So instead of focusing on let’s say “weight loss”, why not narrow it down to “weight loss for pregnant moms”?
Another example would be the skin care niche. You can choose acne cure under it. That crowd is too crowded right
now that’s why I would narrow it down even more. Hm.,.How about Acne Cure for for men over 25?
You don’t have to build your blog around one narrowed down niche.
You can choose 3 narrowed down niche and feature content in all of them. By doing this, you’ll be able to specialize
in these 3 and target your market much better.
Here’s a mind map of what would your blog look like if you take the 3 narrowed down niche path.
You can repeat the process on other niches and type keywords related to your topic.
The Better Way?
In my opinion the best way to do keyword research is to use the
“HOW TO” way, which means that we’ll find people that are searching for solutions to their problems.
Keyword research 1.1- THE AD GROUP IDEAS
If you look at your keyword planner results after searching for
“HOW TO”
EX.
How to cure acne
How to fix….
How to do…
How to pass…
How to finish …
The point is to find keywords that have buyer intentions into it.
Another way to do this is to use the extender “BUY”
Ex.
Where to buy ….
Buy …
How much is …
Price of …
These keywords has buyer intentions behind it.
You will see a tab that says AD GROUP IDEAS
This tab has thousands of keywords that you can choose from and Google has already compiled the keywords for
you.
This is one of my favorite ways to find low competition buyer keywords.
Again, just dig dip and pick keywords and then attack it.
How to Create Your Blog
REGISTER A DOMAIN
Once you’ve chosen your domain name, click continue to cart and go to checkout to buy it.
HOSTING SET-UP
There are a handful of hosting companies that I like to use. Here’s a list of $1 Hosting that you can use for your
website.
Ttp://www.1dollar-webhosting.com/
http://www.hostmonsta.com/
http://www.hostica.com/
http://www.grifhost.com/
http://www.hostso.com/one_dollar_web_hosting.php
http://www.upwebhosting.com/
http://www.whw1.com/a1/
http://www.ehostone.com/
http://hostgator.com
http://bluehost.com
If you can’t pick one, just choose http://bluehost.com
Got the hosting plan? Great!
Now, we want to connect our GoDaddy account or any domain registrar that we have to our hosting account. We’ll
do this by connecting “nameservers”.
CONNECTING NAME SERVERS
Log-in to your GoDaddy account and choose your domain that you’ve just registered a while ago.
Click Manage. Then Click your website URL.
Now, go back to your email address and check for the bluehost cpanel email, you should have received your
username and password for this.
If you can’t find your cpanel then email your hosting registrar.
Once you log in, you should see your name servers.
Copy –paste these on the other tab that we just opened a while ago.
Click OK.
Now we are set and we can now install WordPress on our site.
Please take note that sometimes, it may take 24-48 hours for your domain and hosting to connect. But usually, it
takes less than 15 minutes.
INSTALL WORDPRESS
Go to your cpanel again and click Fantastico Deluxe or QuickInstall and Choose WordPress.
Click Install and Input the necessary details afterwards.
Once you got it installed, go to this link:
http://yoursitename.com/wp-login
Sometimes, it won’t load or it will give you an error page.
This simply means your domain and hosting are still “talking” to each other and is still in the process of pagination.
If it gives you the log in page already then go on and log in on your newly installed wordpress site.
CHOOSE A THEME
There are tons of FREE wordpress themes to choose from. Depending on the theme of your website, choose
something that is related to your topic/blog.
In the Appearance tab on the left. Click Themes.
Choose the Theme that you want, Click Add and Click Install.
Most people don’t have the money to invest in paid traffic especially if they are just getting started.
In this chapter, I’m going to give you the secrets to ranking your blog on the first page of Google.
I’ll teach you how to do some ON PAGE SEO voodoos that frankly only 1% of SEO experts teach.
Apply the following techniques to your website and watch your blog get more traffic every single day FOR FREE.
First of all, the silo structure will not be as powerful without the OFF PAGE stuff. Though, it’s still better than NOT
having the SILO structure at all.
source: interdream-designs.com
Let’s say your website is about FOOD RECIPES. That’s a general category, that’s why we will create a silo about
the topics behind your general topic. In the image above, the 3 topics under your main theme are fish recipes, meat
recipes and soup recipes. Under those topics are their sub topics. What you will do is create 3 pages under your
original theme and posts under your 3 topics.
The rationale behind this website structure is that when a backlink goes to HOMEPAGE, it then passes link juices to
other pages and posts (the fish,meat and soup recipes and all the subtopics behind it).
So instead of your normal website, where you don’t create a silo, the link juice doesn’t stop at whatever page the
backlink goes to.
If you don’t have the SILO structure, a backlink that goes to a homepage doesn’t pass link power to other pages.
Which means your other pages won’t probably rank well on Google.
Another benefit of having a silo’d website is the USER EXPERIENCE. It helps the visitors navigate the website and
find what they need.
Now, there are many kinds of silo structures, some are complicated as hell. But what I’m going to teach you is the
basic silo and the widely used kind of silo. There’s a reason why it’s widely used, because it works! Why reinvent
the wheel? As they say, if it’s not broken, don’t fix it.
I would assume that you already have a website under WORDPRESS. If you’re not using wordpress, then I suggest
that you run to your computer and change your website immediately. I have a book about how to start a blog or a
website from A - Z. It’s called How to start a blog in 60 minutes or less. Read it.
Anyhoo, let’s use a guitar teaching website for this example. Website, courtesy of my mentor Alex Becker.
http://shredsource.net/online-guitar-lessons/
Let’s say our main theme is about ONLINE GUITAR LESSONS. What are the topics that could be under it? It
could be GUITAR BACKING TRACKS and ONLINE GUITAR LESSONS.
Under guitar backing tracks could be COUNTRY BACKING TRACKS and METAL BACKING TRACKS. Then
under online guitar lessons are METAL GUITAR LESSONS and BEGINNER ONLINE GUITAR LESSONS.
HOME PAGE
What you will do is create a PAGE about GUITAR BACKING TRACKS & ONLINE GUITAR
LESSONS. Then a POST about COUNTRY BACKING TRACKS, METAL GUITAR LESSONS, METAL
BACKING TRACKS & BEGINNER ONLINE GUITAR LESSONS.
Your pages and post will be on the left side corner and add them to your menu by clicking ADD TO MENU.
Navigate your menu page and put the pages under the correct parent page. Please see below picture.
NOTE: The Metal guitar backing tracks and country guitar backing tracks should be a POST and not a page. The
picture shows it’s a page.
You’re almost finish with your silo. The next thing you need to do is go to your POSTS and choose a parent page.
You’ll find it on the right side, Page Attributes.
If you’re post is under the GUITAR BACKING TRACKS PAGE, then choose Guitar backing tracks as your
parent page. Do the same with the other posts.
BOOM! You are finished! Your site, should look like this (not the theme but the structure)
http://www.silocreativo.com/en/create-custom-menus-wordpress/
2 - Wordpress Configuration
The second trick is all about the configuration of your wordpress site.
The first thing that I want you to do is to go to your settings and click GENERAL.
Your site title and your tagline will have a huge effect on your rankings. This is important because a title and a
tagline let’s Google know that your website is about the topic that you want to rank for.
Put a keyword that you want to rank for in either the title or the tagline.
What this does is it automatically makes the title part of the url.
So if you post a title called “ Online Guitar Lessons For Beginners” , the url will came out as -
http://yourwebsite.com/online-guitar-lessons-for-beginners
instead of http://yourwebsite.com/pe3444e21 or some random shit.
This also helps Google detect the website relevance and topic, which again, helps in helping Google decide if they
should give us a higher ranking or not. Now, too much optimization could also be bad. So be careful with over
optimization.
3 - Outbound Links
Say you’re a 17 year old girl. How would you feel if you are hanging out with the Kardashians, and they’re giving
you all the praises, telling you how awesome you are? It would feel awesome right? Others will think that you’re the
coolest person ever because, guess what, you hang out with Kyle and Kendell Fucking Jenner.
It’s the same with Google and SEO. If we create a link to an authority site, we basically tell Google how awesome
we are because we associate our websites to the cool kids. How bad that analogy may be, the point is, Outbound
links to Authority websites are powerful.
For example, say we have a website about guitar lessons. If we create a link to a wikipedia page about guitars, then
we are associating our website to the wikipedia,which is a powerful authority website.
To do this, you can add a link from your page or post content.
Besides having a link from your content, it would also be beneficial to your website if you could put a link from
your MENU PAGE.
So instead of just having, HOME, GUITAR BACKING and ONLINE GUITAR LESSONS. You can add another
menu about guitars. It could be, history of guitars or whatever.
In that page, link out to authority sites related to guitar at least 3 times. Also, make sure that you put some real and
useful content.
4 - Inbound Links
These kind of links are also powerful because it helps in transferring the link juice to other pages.
Anchor text is the word the you will use when you link out to a certain url.
The anchor text that you’ll use will depend on what keywords you want to rank for. My general rule for this is that
you never use an anchor text twice on 1 page. Note, I didn’t say to not use the keyword twice in your content. I
said never use the ANCHOR TEXT twice. A keyword is just that, a word. An anchor text is a text linking out to a
url. Just want to clear that out for you. See example below.
Let’s say you have a website about GUITAR LESSONS (home page). In that page, you will link out to the silos
(pages) under the homepage.
This will pass up any link juice that goes to your homepage to the 2 pages that you link out to, this helping them get
ranked faster.
If you’re not satisfied, you can then link out from the 2 PAGES to the posts under it.
For our example, the 2 pages we have are, (for the nth time)
If you remember the SILO chapter, you will see that we have 2 post under 1 page.
So from GUITAR BACKING TRACKS - You will link out to the 2 post under it, which are COUNTRY BACKING
TRACKS &METAL BACKING TRACKS
And for are other page, ONLINE GUITAR LESSONS , you will then link out to the posts, BEGINNER ONLINE
GUITAR LESSONS & METAL GUITAR LESSONS.
Simply do the same thing that we did to the homepage, except that we are linking out to a post.
http://shredsource.net/online-guitar-lessons/
Then scroll down to the bottom. You will see a link going to another post in the site.
The Plan
In this part, I’m going to show you several blueprints on how to go from zero to whatever your goal is.
Information Products
Ways to do it:
E-BOOKS
If you have an ebook that sells for $47 then you would need to sell roughly 107 copies per month.
If your sales page conversion is at 3% (industry conversion), then you will need to drive around 3900+ visitors per
month.
Now that may sound like a lot of people, but if you broke it down to daily traffic then you would need (3,900/30) –
130 people every day.
If you chose a market within the 3 biggest niche, then this is very possible to achieve in a few months.
If you can increase your conversion to 5% then you would need even less people to achieve your goal.
Audio Courses
You can also create an audio course about your topic.
If you sell it for $197 each (yes people are buying $197 audio courses)
Then you only need 26 people to buy it every month.
Do you think you could sell at least 1 audio course every 26 hours?
Of course you can!
I hope you’re now seeing how doable this is.
Once you break it down into numbers, you’ll be able to determine how many products and traffic do you need every
day to achieve your $5,000/month goal.
If you’re goal is 10k or 20k, then the process will be the same.
Video Courses
This one could be the most profitable because it’s much easier to scale. Remember, the same level of skill is
required to sell a $47 e-book and a $497 video course.
If you have a course that sells for $497 then you only need to sell 11 of it to get to your goal!
Membership/subscription based course
This one could be another awesome way to monetize your blog. You can do an interview series with different
experts and create a subscription for it.
If you get 500 people to sign up for a $19 per month program then that would be a $9500/month recurring revenue.
That’s a passive income that you only have to spend 2 hours of work with since most interviews would only last for
an hour and you can edit it for an another hour or so. You can also outsource the editing and transcripts on fiverr for
$5-$20.
Podcast
You can also start your own podcast to gain more authority on the subject. This could be a profitable way to
monetize your blog. You can promote your products on the podcast itself or you could advertise other people’s
product thus making you an affiliate commission.
The most important thing is to always know our numbers.
Blog Sponsors
Once your blog gained some traction, advertisers will come to you and ask if they can advertise in your blog. What I
love about blog sponsors is the consistency on income that it can bring.
The first step in doing this monetization strategy is to create your own advertisement page.
On the next page, I gave you a template for an advertisement page.
Affiliate Promotions
You can email your customers and promote other people’s products.
Just make sure that the product you are promoting is really good. Don’t risk your reputation for a few thousand
dollars. Do your home work and see if the product is good or not.
