this is me in
1995 a 28-year-old self-made millionaire
who thought he had money figured out I'd
built a thriving business Empire
consisting of multiple shops and
warehouses then almost overnight the
internet made it irrelevant I had two
choices give up or adapt you know me I
wasn't about to quit so I threw myself
into learning everything about making
money online and like most people today
I fell for the hype I tried every method
out there and guess what none of them
were as easy as people said but through
trial and error I cracked the code and
rebuilt my businesses but this time with
the internet at the core of my strategy
fast forward to today and making money
online isn't just important it's an
essential thing everyone should be doing
that's exactly why I'm making this video
I spent years testing failing and
refining losing Millions making millions
and learning what actually works now
with this knowledge I can help you avoid
all the mistakes and FasTrack your
success so if you're tired of false
promises and ready to commit for the
next 6 to 12 months and build something
real this is for you no gimmicks no BS
just the process that actually works all
right so this is the online wealth whe
and whether you realize it or not you're
already on it there are three main
stages that Define where people are in
their journey to making money online
plus a secret forth stage that only a
few ever read reach we'll discuss that
one at the
end let's kick things off with stage one
this is where everyone starts with no
side hustle and sadly
sadly
55% of people never start at all
inflation is making everything more
expensive and let's be real relying on a
single paycheck is more dangerous than
ever so if having a side hustle is
essential why do 55% of people still
avoid it because the online space is a
jungle it's full of ads pushing Prov
methods that confuse more people than
they actually help the key to starting
the right way is picking a method that
suits your skills budget and lifestyle
if you already have a skill like video
editing graphic design coding or even
setting up Discord servers people pay
great money for these services and
there's no shortage of demand but what
if you don't have a skill to sell or
quite simply don't want to deal with
clients that's where product-based
businesses come in one of the best
options is selling products online
without ever holding infantry yourself
but I'll get into this in more detail
later on that brings me on
to running a failing side hustle I'm
classing a failing side hustle is
earning less than $50 per month online sadly
sadly
28% of people are trapped here a lot of
people aren't going to like me saying
this but it has to be said it's almost
never your side hustle that's flawed or
doesn't work you're most likely just not
putting enough time and effort in I know
that could be hard to hear but this
isn't really your fault it's down to
something called shiny object syndrome
this is when you constantly jump from
one trendy online money-making method to
another without committing and putting
your absolute all into any of them one
week it's Drop Shipping then print on
demand then selling books on Amazon KDP
then trade in stocks and then starting a
social media agency the truth is all the
online money making methods I just
mentioned work but each requires a
different level of time commitment and
you'll never get anywhere by jumping
from one to the other it's like that
classic diagram of miners tirelessly
digging for gold only to give up just
before striking it rich instead of
pushing through they abandon their
progress start fresh somewhere else and
waste all that initial effort repeating
the cycle over and over again if you get
stuck in this dangerous pattern like the
28% of other people then you need to
recognize it and simply pick a method
and stick to it forget the idea of a
perfect side hustle just pick one that's
easy to start and has the potential to
scale if you don't have a high income
skill to sell then I'm going to make
this super simple for you in all my
years of experience the thing that has
made me the most amount of money online
is e-commerce so I recommend you focus
on that but not in a way most people do
a lot of beginners assume starting an
online store means dealing with
inventory suppliers or complex setups
but that's not the case anymore that's
because you can now utilize AI built
Shopify stores instead of spending weeks
setting everything up like I had to back
in the day you can now use a free tool
called build your store. a to launch a
fully automated store that would
normally cost $2 to $300 to set up but
this does it for free in a matter of
minutes you just enter your name and
email pick a niche like fashion Tech or
pets and the AI chooses winning products
designs your store and makes it look
professional from day one if you want to
go through this process completely for
free then just click the link in the
description and it'll walk you through
everything from there it syncs directly
with Shopify giving you exclusive access
to a 3mon Shopify trial for only $1 per
month but what about making sales well
the biggest mistake people make with
e-commerce is giving up too soon
surprise surprise this is probably
because they don't want to deal with
infantry or fulfillment that's why the
free AI store Builder also walks you
through how to integrate a tool called
autod DS which is kind of like the
autopilot system on a plane it Imports
trending products updates pricing and
images and even ships orders directly to
your customers this means you don't have
to touch inventory package anything or
deal with Supply negotiations you focus
on driving traffic and making sales
while the system handles the rest full
disclosure autods are long-term
supporters of this channel but even if
they weren't sponsoring this portion of
the video I'd still recommend them you
can easily create a buzz around your
products by creating videos about them
on Tik Tok for free if you get 100K
views and just 1% of the people go and
buy your product for $10 then that's
$10,000 in Revenue so if you're serious
about breaking out of the failing side
hustle trap then choosing a simple
automated model like this gives you the
best chance of success no more bouncing
between business ideas just commit
launch and put in the work to scale it
up stage three is running a successful
side hustle Believe It or Not only 16%
of people who start making money online
ever make more than $50 per month the
people in this percentile make anywhere
from $51 on the low end all the way up
to $10,000 a month of course the higher
end is what I'd consider actually
successful so what are these 16% of
people doing differently and how can you
start applying it to yourself well
there's some clear things that I've
noticed that separate the people who
struggle from those who actually make
money online and to help you get there
I'm going to break them down into four
key steps that you can follow step one
is to stop trying to appeal to everyone
you might think casting a wide net will
get you more sales but in reality it
does the opposite if you try to appeal
to everyone you'll appeal to no one so
before you even start promoting your
store grab a notepad or open your notes
app and describe your IDE ideal customer
how old are they what are their
interests what are their struggles and
what type of content do they consume the
clearer you are about this the easier it
becomes to create content that actually
grabs their attention think of it like
this it's always easier to get one
person's attention by speaking directly
to them than it is to shout at a crowd
and hope someone listens step two is to
stay consistent most people go all in
for a few weeks fueled by a burst of
motivation then vanish the moment they
don't see instant results the key is
putting consistency over Perfection you
don't need to be working 12-hour days or
waking up at 5:00 a.m. you just need
small daily actions that keep your store
in front of people so here are some
actionable things you should focus on
every day post content about your
products daily to stay visible and
consistently appear in people's feeds
engage with comments and messages to
build trust strengthen relationships and
increase the likelihood of conversion
test different product descriptions and
images since even small tweaks can
significantly impact sales step three is
to show don't just tell most people's
marketing strategies completely miss the
mark no pun intended they just don't
make it clear why someone should buy
their product for example let's say
you're selling custom Gaming controllers
just posting a gameplay clip with a link
in the description isn't enough people
need a clear reason to buy instead of
assuming they'll connect the dots
themselves you need to show and tell
start by showcasing the controller up
close demonstrating how the extra
buttons or as you Gamers know them
paddles and Trigger stops enhance
gameplay explain the real benefits like
how these features help players react
faster and gain an edge in competitive
matches finally compare it to a standard
controller to highlight exactly why
yours is better if customers can't
clearly see the product understand why
it's different and immediately grasp how
it benefits them they won't buy it it's
a simple as that step four is to build
trust with social proof people need
proof before they spend their money
especially when buying from a brand
they've never heard of think about it
for a second would you buy a fitness
program that promises insane results but
has zero before and after photos and no
testimonials probably not if you're just
starting out order your own product and
record an unboxing video to show exactly
what customers will receive even if you
don't have sales yet ask friends or
family to test them out and leave honest
review use as it's better to have some
feedback than none at all finally
showcase real people using your products
instead of relying solely on stock
photos people have been burned by bad
online purchases before I mean we've all
seen those situations where the product
is nothing like the picture so make sure
your customers know exactly what they're
getting and why other people love
it now I told you that there was a
secret stage at the end well that's
stage four running in an elite side
hustle we've talked about breaking past
the early struggles and building a solid
side Hustle but this is the level that I
estimate less than
1% of people ever reach so what sets
these 1% of people apart from the rest
one word reinvesting as soon as you
start making money put a small portion
back into your side hustle a lot of
people think the goal of making money is
to spend it on nice things but the real
power of money is using it to make even
more money I've talked before about
investing in the stock market but when
you're just starting out the best
investment isn't stocks it's your own
business unlike stocks where you have to
sit back and wait you have full control
over growing your own side hustle so how
do you reinvest in a way that actually
helps you make more well firstly you
focus on upgrading your tools in the
beginning you might be doing everything
manually but once you start making sales
reinvesting in tools that save you time
can help you scale secondly you can put
money into getting more customers the
people that make the most money online
don't just wait for people to come to
them they reinvest in marketing to bring
in more traffic and sales whether that's
paying for ads testing new content ideas
or working with small influencers to get
their store in front of the Right
audience thirdly you can start to
Outsource instead of trying to do
everything alone the 1% reinvest in
Outsourcing small tasks now if you're
just getting started this might sound
like something you should worry about
later but that's exactly why most people
never reach this level this could be as
simple as paying someone on Fiverr to
design a better logo for your store or
paying your friend to film some social
media content for you if you start
thinking this way early on knowing that
your first profit should go back into
growing your side hustle you'll already
be ahead of 99% of people who get stuck
at these lower levels if you're
ambitious but lazy I'm going to leave
