TCU #001: 4 Steps: How I Make Money With The Internet

Read time: 8 minutes

Remember that day you decided you never wanted to have to work for anyone ever again?

Then you went out and tried to find the answer to how to actually do that...

...and you discovered that one of the key outcomes was autonomy (freedom).

You wanted to be able to make as much as you want.

You wanted to be able to live each day exactly the way you wanted.

Since this is issue #001 of The Creator's Unlock newsletter I wanted to give you the exact system I am using right now to make that dream a reality.

No fluff or fancy jargon.

Direct to the point.

Let's get into it.

1. Know Exactly What Your Perfect Day To Year Looks Like

Focus Point:

If you don't know what you want how can you get it?

How-to:

Block out your Google Calendar.

Define what your perfect day, week, month, and year look like.

When do you want to be working and when do you want to have free time?

From that point, we can reverse engineer the blocks we have available to work to decide what needs to be done in those blocks.

No matter what happens though those blocks need to execute the following three systems.

This by the way is exactly what I am doing to create the life I want using the internet to help people solve problems.

2. Create An Infinite Audience Attraction Machine

Focus Point:

You have to continue to reach new people who can benefit from your solutions.

How-to:

You will need to produce content that resonates with the people who have the problem you can solve.

Use a combination of the 2 favorite social media platforms that you consume on and enjoy the most and a daily writing/publishing habit.

Create content daily using one of the four writing styles (image ↓).

Schedule that content to go out using a tool like Metricool.

This will make sure you are always showing up to your audience and providing value even when you're not creating.

This free time gives you the ability to create better offers which makes the entire business work easier.

Keep it simple and one tip that helped me find my voice was teaching my past self how to fish.

Give advice to your past self and the people that are where you were will come on board and follow you.

3. Create An Automated Selling Machine

Focus Point:

This is an automated system that converts your traffic and leads into sales every day even when you're not working.

The goal: Build an email list of the people who have the problem you can solve and then sell the people on your email list your solution.

How-to:

Create a website and funnel using a tool like Systeme.io and ActiveCampaign. Connect Stripe to Systeme to process payments.

Create a simple website that has a home page, newsletter, and products page.

You'll add an optin form on your website for people to get your free weekly newsletter and this will be one of your lead collecting funnels.

You will create more ways to collect leads by creating free email courses and giving away free training.

Your home page will share who you are and what you do to help people.

Your products page will display your products and an order form so they can buy them.

You can create your products using Systeme and Loom.

You will create email sales campaigns to convert your leads into new customers using all forms of content (text/image/video/audio).

4. Create A "Quick-To-Consume" Affordable Digital Product

Focus Point:

Quick-to-consume affordable products are a great place to start so you produce something valuable in less time and effort.

That way you can start earning as quickly as possible.

This type of product will be no longer than 1 hour to complete and will cover how to do 1 thing very well.

The price point will range from $47-$147 one-time.

How-to:

The structure I use to create this type of product:

→ 1 core topic covered so they can solve that problem

→ Short videos with images and PDF resources

→ Step-by-step how-to information simplified

→ Good audio, no fluff, and direct answers

Focus on helping solve their problems because that's you get paid.

Find a problem people are trying to solve and don't overthink it.

Create the solution and sell it to them.

Create the life you want to live.

You can do this.

Now go start helping people using the internet.

Create with the mindset that you are trying to help your past self.

You wouldn't want it to be long, full of blah blah, and you would want the answer in the most simple way possible.

Follow that mindset when creating your products.

I love the rule of 3 model where you make:

→ 3 phases

→ 3 modules per phase

→ 3 steps per module

The point is to make it simple, quick to consume, and solve the problem.

When you create this product you'll add it to Systeme and you will automate the delivery of the product once someone buys it.

That way they get the product as soon as they buy it without you having to do any manual delivery.

Conclusion

This Internet Creator business model is what I do to be able to live my dream life.

I know what I want each day and how I want the day to go.

I designed systems to attract new customers, convert those customers, and deliver my digital solutions.

That way I know things are happening in a consistent way because that's the name of the game.

Everything is happening in a scheduled automated process so everything that needs to happen happens.

All I have to do is keep learning and doing so I can create better digital products and have the skills needed to help people the way I love helping them.

A great first goal is to get $100k put back that you don't need to live on.

Here's what that would look like:

→ Sell 1,000 products at $147 each

→ 2.7 products per day for 365 days

→ Focus and create content daily

→ Build a list and sell the list

That doesn't happen overnight but it will never happen if you don't start doing it right now.

Decide you're going to do it and DO IT.

Keep your blinders on and focus on what moves the needle.

BUILD THE LIST

SELL THE LIST

Now go!

TL;DR

  • Know what you want each day to look like

  • Create an audience attraction machine

  • Create an automated selling machine

  • Create an affordable product that works
