Today, I'm sharing with you my five step
approach to start making money online, even with no audience. That's right. You don't need any followers
to start earning money online and you can do that
with a brand new account as long as you have the right strategy
and you follow along with this video. So let's dove in. All right. So step number one is deciding
whether you want to sell your own product or service
or you want to sell someone else's.
And this depends entirely on you.
Hear me out. There are many people
who are very talented and skilled and who are doing this
because they want to monetize that talent. Or there are people
who have a creative idea and they have this enterprise
Nouriel spirit, and they want to go ahead and disrupt
an industry or a market or there are other people
who simply want to make sure that they are in control of the majority of the profit
in that case.
Then you want to consider creating
or producing your own product or service. This might take a little bit of time
because you will need that time to produce the product. Obviously, depending on what you decide on, it'll take a few hours, a few days,
or sometimes months or years. Now, if you don't have that time
or maybe you don't have an idea, then alternatively
you can consider affiliate marketing. The way that I would suggest
you go ahead with this is find the right platform
where you can find products or services that you would be much
more inclined to sell. And you've got so many options out there
from your affiliate network to Amazon affiliate program to ClickBank to share a sale and many, many,
many others. I'm going to link
with all of your resources where you can find a lot of platforms
where you can get affiliate links to start selling other people's product
and make a commission for that. Step number two is you deciding what
will be the focus of your sales efforts.
Do you want to sell a product
or do you want to sell a service? And if you want to sell a product,
you have a multitude of options. You can sell a physical product
or digital one. Don't worry. Even if it is a physical product,
you don't actually need to go anywhere. And most of the time
you don't even need to hold any inventory because if you choose to sell
a physical product, you have many options.
Again, you can sell based on
something that is called print on demand. You come up with a design
and then work with certain services that will print that logo or that design
on certain merchandise like notebooks or water bottles or T-shirts and hoodies
and so on and so forth. And you don't need to hold any inventory. All of that will be done on demand
when somebody orders your product and then that company
will ship it to them. Now, you don't need to do on demand. You can do something
that's called dropshipping so you can work on designing
entirely the product, not just applying the design on something,
and you can create it with someone. A factory, oftentimes in China,
but it doesn't have to be there. You have Vietnam or India or countries
in Africa who will be ready to produce whatever you want
and then ship that into a facility. And from there the product gets sent to
whoever orders it. Another option that you have
is to produce books and you can use a service that is called
KDP Kindle Direct Publishing, but that's also can be converted into a physical book if you want to go for a digital product.
Then here you have again a few options. You can either go for a course,
you can sell your or somebody else's online digital course
or you can sell templates. And I've talked about this before
and I'm going to link below a few videos that will give you some ideas of
what kind of templates you can sell. Now on the other hand, if you choose to self
services again, you have many options. You can sell your services as a coach,
for example, specializing in something, or you can sell your services
as a freelancer. So you're basically selling your skills lots and lots
and lots of options at this stage.
I need you to pause the video and sit down
and think exactly what is it that you are going to sell? And the way you do that is think about what is the easiest
for you to convince somebody to buy. Think about your friends and family. What are you raving about? What are some things
that you think you can sell and convince other people to purchase because you know
that they will bring so much added value in their lives? And here comes
the most important part of this video. If you remember anything,
I hope you remember this and I hope you like this video
so you can save it in your playlist and you can come back to it
again and again and check again what I'm going to say right now. Because if you have no audience,
what that means is that you don't have control
over the demand in the market. You have a product or service
that you want to sell, right? So that is your supply,
but you need to meet the demand.
You need to meet the people who need
whatever you have to sell. And the point of having an audience
is to build demand, to bring people together who have a need
for something that you would like to sell. The reason why I said at the beginning
that you can make money online without needing an audience
is because you can go and meet them where they already are,
where they already spend time. And those are specific platforms
because people who need books, they go to Amazon or people who need to buy a personalized T-shirt,
they go to Redbubble or people who want to buy a course,
they go to Udemy and so on and so forth. So you see the idea
you need to go and meet people who need whatever you have to sell somewhere
where they already spend time and the way you do
that is after you've taken the time at the previous step
to decide what you want to sell.
Then now I need you to pause the video
and think about which is the right platform
where you will be able to find the people who need to buy
what you've just decided to sell. And here are some ideas. If you want to sell
something that is printed on demand, then something like Print, Ify
or Redbubble or Amazon merch could be a place
for you to consider. If in turn you want to sell something
based on Dropshipping, then Shopify or Amazon
using FBA would be your best choice.
Again, if you want to sell something
that is in neither, let's say it's a book,
then you also have an option with Amazon because they have the service called KDP Kindle Direct Publishing, where you upload
a digital version of the book and they can even print that,
not just sell it digitally. If you want to sell a course,
then you have options like Udemy, Skillshare and many,
many others. If you want to sell templates,
then I think your best bet would be Etsy. And if you want to sell coaching
or if you want to sell your skills and be a freelancer,
then you have so many platforms. I've spent lots of time talking about,
but I would start with Upwork and Fiverr.
They are your most safe bet for now. All right. To pause the video here
and write down exactly what are the platforms
that you will be targeting now that you've decided
which platform you want to focus on. And my advice
is that you focus on one at the beginning. Step number four is that you
learn the algorithm or in other words, let's hack the algorithm. Because what you need to do now
is if you want to get in front of the right audience,
you need to show up. You need for them to learn and know you. Because let's be honest, these platforms,
all of the ones that I've mentioned, act like search engines. We all go to Amazon to find
which is the best computer to purchase or which is the best vacuum cleaner
or blender that we should buy. We go to actually not knowing exactly
which template we want to buy, but we know that we want a template
for us to use for Instagram posts.
All of them act like search engines,
so they have an algorithm that proposes certain answers
depending on people's search terms. So what you need to do
now is to go and find resources that will teach you
about the algorithm of that platform. And you can do that simply
by searching on YouTube and you will find a lot of free resources. Or you can go to Udemy over there,
you will find a lot even of free resources that will teach you a lot about
the algorithm of any of the platforms that I've mentioned. Step number five is something
that I do recommend you try later on.
First, you want to make sure
that you have a proven product or service with a proven sales pitch
that could be the product description or it could be your profile
as a freelancer and so on and so forth. Once you have that proven
and it's a system that's working and it's generating sales for you, then you can go to step number five,
which is paid traffic. So you can start investing a little bit
in traffic either directly on the platform that you will be using
or through outside traffic.
So platforms like Amazon have their own
paid ads and that's called paid per click. Or if you want to go for Etsy, Etsy
also has their own ads and traffic system,
but not all the platforms have paid ads. And in that case, you can go for outside
traffic, that you can drive either through Facebook ads or Instagram
or Ticktalk or even YouTube ads. So there are many ways that you can drive
traffic to your product or service, and this will generate much more sales. But as I said, my recommender is that you don't go
for ads from the beginning because you're going
to burn a lot of money. And instead you go and use SEO, you use the algorithm itself to show up
and make sales and get traction. And once you have that proven as a system,
then you can pump as much traffic as you want to your product.
And obviously,
you're going to make a lot more money. All right, you guys,
that was it for today. Thank you so, so much for watching.
I hope you enjoyed today's video. Let me know in the comments down below
which product or service you're planning to sell
and which platform you're looking into. And until next time, I suggest
you go ahead and watch this video here where I talk about some really cool side
hustles that you must try. Thank you again,
and I hope to see you next time. Bye..
