How to Make $5,000 Before 2025
a full course
so you want to make money but you don’t know what method is the best
maybe you’ve been trying some different things and nothings been working
maybe you’re just looking to supplement your 9-5 income
the goal of this email is to show you the simplest and most predictable path to starting to make money online
this email may be on the longer side, so strap in, get your caffeine and take some notes
Step 1: Getting REALLY Good at a Skill
this is the obvious step but people neglect the '“really good” part and think they can just be mediocre at something and go out and start charging people
You’re going to get really good at creating educational and entertaining content for tech companies
both youtube videos and short form videos
here’s a few of the most important aspects for short form videos:
hook that grabs attention, which means you must use language anyone can understand
shareable, make content that’s interesting enough (or slightly controversial) to share
step by step format, this will make people save it and watch it multiple times which drives algo
you want to make it seem as organic as possible (not look like an ad) so rather than say something like “use this tool!!!” you say “step 1) go to website(dot)com and….
so let’s do an example together, let’s say we were making videos for an automated twitter outreach tool called drippi
an amateur would say “Here’s how to use drippi to get new customers” as a hook (blatant ad)
I would say:
“Here’s how to get 50 SaaS Customers per month on auto pilot with Twitter Marketing
Step 1: Go to Drippi(dot)ai and create an account and start a trial
Step 2: Identify twitter profiles that your ICP would follow and upload their followers
Step 3: Build a DM Campaign with this script {insert script}
Step 4: Push all positive replies to a demo call and close new customers on autopilot
and btw if you want the full breakdown on this strategy comment “breakdown” and I’ll send it over”
then in the breakdown - there would be the link to sign up to drippi multiple times as well as it actually being valuable
and the thing is you don’t need to even be an outreach genius to make these guides, you can just use gamma and use their ai to create these breakdown documents for you
but can you see the difference in those two videos?
one is just a blatant ad trying to sell the product
the other is actually giving away USEFUL information that the software just happens to be the means to implement said info
because if they don’t use drippi to automate it, it’ll take them forever
so let them realize they need it rather than saying HEY USE DRIPPI USE DRIPPI PLEASE JUST USE DRIPPI
the same principle is applied to youtube, make it seem organic, but there’s some differences in youtube
Youtube: The Money Printer
Youtube is crazy because it’s so search driven, if you search “SaaS” or “No Code” or “No Code SaaS” you will find my videos
which means as long as people are searching those things… my videos will get views
I have videos posted from over a year ago that STILL bring me in money, between affiliate commissions, bringing new customers to my businesses etc
Use VidIQ to get viral video ideas, basically you want to find search terms with high search volume (over 100k/mo) and low competition
and then make a thumbnail and title that sells a big promise, and the first 30 seconds of the video you hype up the promise, and the rest of the video you deliver the promise
the other gem for youtube is if you do an “ad” or promote anything, you want to do it in the middle or in the first half of the video
retention drops off significantly at the end of videos so doing your ad then when most people do is the worst way to do it possible
The Easiest Content Hack
Literally go see what’s worked for people in your niche and then replicate it with your own twist
if it worked for them it will work for you - the amount of people that have ripped my viral videos is insane, and for all of them, it also went viral
you can easily do this on any platform and even build a swipe file of best converting content in your niche
The Best Part?
It doesn’t matter what age you are, where you live, as long as you can speak fluent english (mainly, some companies do need spanish/french/german speakers) then you can get paid to make content for companies
you just need a decent set up, an iphone to shoot on and a blank wall
and you can get paid just for posting videos on the internet - and I’ll break down how you can earn money
Getting Payd
1) Getting payd a CPM - this is where companies will straight up tell you how much they’ll pay you for however many views you get it may go like this
1.5k views → $10
10k views → $60
25k views → $150
50k Views → $300
100k Views → $600
200k Views → $1,200
this is cool because anyone can earn money here and you don’t need a big following to get this many views especially on short form
and these are just example numbers, it may vary but these could be very possible and an easy way to earn an extra couple thousand dollars per month once you get good
2) Retainer Deals
some companies hire creators on a monthly retainer + commissions to make a set number of videos per month
it may be $1,000/mo + commissions to make 4 youtube videos per month and 15 short form as an example
these videos may not even be posted on your own page but rather on the company page, so again no following required you just need to show you’re REALLY good at content
the other cool part about making content for SaaS companies is the commissions are recurring so they snowball over time
unlike tik tok shop where you have to pump out 5 videos a day hoping for one to go mega viral and then die off in a few days and have to go right back to pumping 5 videos a day
with this you can build your income up over time
