00:00This is me in 1995,
00:02a 28-year-old self-made millionaire
00:05who thought he had money figured out.
00:07I've built a thriving business empire
00:09consisting of multiple shops and warehouses.
00:12Then, almost overnight, the internet made it irrelevant.
00:16I had two choices, give up or adapt.
00:19You know me, I wasn't about to quit,
00:21so I threw myself into learning everything
00:24about making money online.
00:26And like most people today, I fell for the hype.
00:28I tried every method out there and guess what?
00:32None of them were as easy as people said,
00:34but through trial and error,
00:35I cracked the code and rebuilt my businesses,
00:38but this time with the internet at the core of my strategy.
00:42Fast forward to today and making money online
00:45isn't just important,
00:46it's an essential thing everyone should be doing.
00:49That's exactly why I'm making this video.
00:51I spent years testing, failing and refining,
00:54losing millions, making millions
00:56and learning what actually works.
00:58Now, with this knowledge,
00:59I can help you avoid all the mistakes
01:01and fast track your success.
01:03So, if you're tired of false promises
01:05and ready to commit for the next six to 12 months
01:08and build something real, this is for you.
01:11No gimmicks, no BS, just the process that actually works.
01:15All right, so this is the online wealth wheel,
01:19and whether you realize it or not, you're already on it.
01:22There are three main stages that define
01:24where people are in their journey to making money online,
01:26plus a secret false stage that only a few ever reach.
01:30We'll discuss that one at the end.
01:34Let's kick things off with stage one.
01:36This is where everyone starts with no side hustle.
01:39And sadly, 55% of people never start at all.
01:45Inflation is making everything more expensive.
01:48And let's be real, relying on a single paycheck
01:51is more dangerous than ever.
01:52So, if having a side hustle is essential,
01:55why do 55% of people still avoid it?
01:58Because the online space is a jungle.
02:00It's full of ads pushing proven methods
02:03that confuse more people than they actually help.
02:05The key to starting the right way
02:07is picking a method that suits your skills,
02:09budget, and lifestyle.
02:11If you already have a skill like video editing,
02:14graphic design, coding,
02:15or even setting up Discord servers,
02:17people pay great money for these services,
02:20and there's no shortage of demand.
02:22But what if you don't have a skill to sell,
02:24or quite simply don't want to deal with clients?
02:27That's where product-based businesses come in.
02:29One of the best options is setting products online
02:32without ever holding inventory yourself.
02:34But I'll get into this in more detail later on.
02:37That brings me on to
02:40running a failing side hustle.
02:42I'm classing a failing side hustle
02:44as earning less than $50 per month online.
02:47Sadly, 28% of people are trapped here.
02:52A lot of people aren't gonna like me saying this,
02:54but it has to be said.
02:56It's almost never your side hustle
02:58that's flawed or doesn't work.
03:00You're most likely just not putting
03:01enough time and effort in.
03:03I know that can be hard to hear,
03:04but this isn't really your fault.
03:06It's down to something called shiny object syndrome.
03:09This is when you constantly jump
03:11from one trendy online money-making method to another
03:14without committing
03:15and putting your absolute all into any of them.
03:18One week it's drop shipping,
03:19then print on demand,
03:21then selling books on Amazon KDP,
03:23then trading stocks,
03:25and then starting a social media agency.
03:27The truth is, all the online money-making methods
03:30I just mentioned work,
03:31but each requires a different level of time commitment,
03:35and you'll never get anywhere
03:36by jumping from one to the other.
03:38It's like that classic diagram of miners tirelessly digging
03:41for gold, only to give up just before striking it rich.
03:45Instead of pushing through,
03:47they abandon their progress,
03:48start fresh somewhere else,
03:50and waste all that initial effort
03:52repeating the cycle over and over again.
03:55If you get stuck in this dangerous pattern,
03:57like the 28% of other people,
04:00then you need to recognize it
04:01and simply pick a method and stick to it.
04:03Forget the idea of a perfect side hustle.
04:06Just pick one that's easy to start
04:08and has the potential to scale.
04:10If you don't have a high income skill to sell,
04:12then I'm gonna make this super simple for you.
04:15In all my years of experience,
04:17the thing that has made me the most amount
04:19of money online is e-commerce.
04:21So I recommend you focus on that,
04:23but not in the way most people do.
04:26A lot of beginners assume starting an online store
04:29means dealing with inventory, suppliers,
04:31or complex setups, but that's not the case anymore.
04:34That's because you can now utilize AI-built Shopify stores.
04:38Instead of spending weeks setting everything up
04:40like I had to back in the day,
04:42you can now use a free tool called buildyourstore.ai
04:46to launch a fully automated store
04:48that would normally cost $200 to $300 to set up,
04:51but this does it for free in a matter of minutes.
04:54You just enter your name and email,
04:56pick a niche like fashion, tech, or pets,
04:59and the AI chooses winning products, designs your store,
05:02and makes it look professional from day one.
05:04If you wanna go through this process completely for free,
05:07then just click the link in the description
05:08and it'll walk you through everything.
05:10From there, it syncs directly with Shopify,
05:13giving you exclusive access to a three month Shopify trial
05:16for only $1 per month.
05:18But what about making sales?
05:20Well, the biggest mistake people make with e-commerce
05:23is giving up too soon.
05:24Surprise, surprise.
05:26This is probably because they don't want to deal
05:28with inventory or fulfillment.
05:29That's why the free AI store builder
05:31also walks you through how to integrate a tool
05:34called AutoDS, which is kind of like
05:37the autopilot system on a plane.
05:39It imports trending products, updates pricing and images,
05:43and even ships orders directly to your customers.
05:45This means you don't have to touch inventory,
05:47package anything, or deal with supply negotiations.
05:51You focus on driving traffic and making sales,
05:54while the system handles the rest.
05:55Full disclosure, AutoDS are long-term supporters
05:58of this channel, but even if they weren't sponsoring
06:01this portion of the video, I'd still recommend them.
06:03You can easily create a buzz around your products
06:06by creating videos about them on TikTok for free.
06:09If you get 100K views and just 1% of the people
06:12go and buy your product for $10,
06:15then that's $10,000 in revenue.
06:17So if you're serious about breaking out
06:19of the failing side hustle trap,
06:21then choosing a simple automated model like this
06:23gives you the best chance at success.
06:26No more bouncing between business ideas,
06:28just commit, launch, and put in the work to scale it up.
06:34Stage three is running a successful side hustle.
06:37Believe it or not, only 16% of people
06:41who start making money online
06:43ever make more than $50 per month.
06:45The people in this percentile make anywhere
06:47from $51 on the low end all the way up to $10,000 a month.
06:52Of course, the higher end is what I'd consider
06:54actually successful.
06:55So what are these 16% of people doing differently
06:58and how can you start applying it to yourself?
07:00Well, there's some clear things that I've noticed
07:03that separate the people who struggle
07:05from those who actually make money online.
07:07And to help you get there, I'm gonna break them down
07:09into four key steps that you can follow.
07:12Step one is to stop trying to appeal to everyone.
07:15You might think casting a wide net will get you more sales,
07:18but in reality, it does the opposite.
07:20If you try to appeal to everyone, you'll appeal to no one.
07:23So before you even start promoting your store,
07:26grab a notepad or open your notes app
07:28and describe your ideal customer.
07:30How old are they?
07:31What are their interests?
07:33What are their struggles?
07:34And what type of content do they consume?
07:36The clearer you are about this,
07:38the easier it becomes to create content
07:40that actually grabs their attention.
07:42Think of it like this.
07:44It's always easier to get one person's attention
07:47by speaking directly to them
07:49than it is to shout at a crowd and hope someone listens.
07:52Step two is to stay consistent.
07:54Most people go all in for a few weeks,
07:56fueled by a burst of motivation,
07:58then vanish the moment they don't see instant results.
08:01The key is putting consistency over perfection.
08:04You don't need to be working 12 hour days
08:06or waking up at 5 a.m.
08:08You just need small daily actions
08:11that keep your store in front of people.
08:12So here are some actionable things
08:14you should focus on every day.
08:16Post content about your products daily
08:19to stay visible and consistently appear in people's feeds.
08:22Engage with comments and messages to build trust,
08:26strengthen relationships
08:27and increase the likelihood of conversions.
08:29Test different product descriptions and images
08:32since even small tweaks can significantly impact sales.
08:35Step three is to show, don't just tell.
08:38Most people's marketing strategies
08:40completely missed the mark, no pun intended.
08:42They just don't make it clear
08:43why someone should buy their product.
08:45For example, let's say you're selling
08:47custom gaming controllers.
08:49Just posting a gameplay clip
08:50with a link in the description isn't enough.
08:53People need a clear reason to buy.
08:55Instead of assuming they'll connect the dots themselves,
08:58you need to show and tell.
09:00Start by showcasing the controller up close,
09:02demonstrating how the extra buttons,
09:04or as you gamers know than paddles and trigger stops,
09:07enhance gameplay.
09:09Explain the real benefits like how these features
09:11help players react faster
09:13and gain an edge in competitive matches.
09:15Finally, compare it to a standard controller
09:18to highlight exactly why yours is better.
09:20If customers can't clearly see the product,
09:23understand why it's different
09:24and immediately grasp how it benefits them,
09:27they won't buy it.
09:28It's as simple as that.
09:30Step four is to build trust with social proof.
09:32People need proof before they spend their money,
09:34especially when buying from a brand they've never heard of.
09:37Think about it for a second.
09:39Would you buy a fitness program
09:40that promises insane results,
09:42but has zero before and after photos
09:45and no testimonials?
09:46Probably not.
09:47If you're just starting out, order your own product
09:50and record an unboxing video
09:52to show exactly what customers will receive.
09:54Even if you don't have sales yet,
09:56ask friends or family to test them out
09:58and leave honest reviews,
10:00as it's better to have some feedback than none at all.
10:02Finally, showcase real people using your products
10:05instead of relying solely on stock photos.
10:08People have been burned by bad online purchases before.
10:11I mean, we've all seen those situations
10:14where the product is nothing like the picture.
10:16So make sure your customers know exactly what they're getting
10:19and why other people love it.
10:21Now, I told you that there was a secret stage at the end.
10:26Well, that's stage four, running an elite side hustle.
10:32We've talked about breaking past the early struggles
10:34and building a solid side hustle,
10:36but this is the level that I estimate
10:38less than 1% of people ever reach.
10:43So what sets these 1% of people apart from the rest?
10:46One word, reinvesting.
10:48As soon as you start making money, put a small portion
10:51back into your side hustle.
10:53A lot of people think the goal of making money
10:55is to spend it on nice things,
10:56but the real power of money is using it
10:59to make even more money.
11:00I've talked before about investing in the stock market,
11:03but when you're just starting out,
11:05the best investment isn't stocks, it's your own business.
11:08Unlike stocks where you have to sit back and wait,
11:10you have full control over growing your own side hustle.
11:13So how do you reinvest in a way
11:15that actually helps you make more?
11:17Well, firstly, you focus on upgrading your tools.
11:20In the beginning, you might be doing everything manually,
11:22but once you start making sales,
11:24reinvesting in tools that save you time can help you scale.
11:27Secondly, you can put money into getting more customers.
11:30The people that make the most money online
11:33don't just wait for people to come to them,
11:35they reinvest in marketing
11:36to bring in more traffic and sales.
11:38Whether that's paying for ads, testing new content ideas,
11:42or working with small influencers to get their store
11:44in front of the right audience.
11:46Thirdly, you can start to outsource.
11:47Instead of trying to do everything alone,
11:50the 1% reinvest in outsourcing small tasks.
11:53Now, if you're just getting started,
11:55this might sound like something
11:56you should worry about later,
11:58but that's exactly why most people never reach this level.
12:01This could be as simple as paying someone on Fiverr
12:03to design a better logo for your store,
12:06or paying your friend to film
12:07some social media content for you.
12:09If you start thinking this way early on,
12:11knowing that your first profit
12:12should go back into growing your side hustle,
12:15you'll already be ahead of 99% of people
12:18who get stuck at these lower levels.
12:20If you're ambitious, but lazy,
12:22I'm gonna leave that video right up there,
12:24but don't click on it just yet.
