The (Realistic) Way to Go from $0 Online to 6 Figures Then 7 Figures in 365 Days | by Tim Denning | Jul, 2023

7 figures appears like hyperbole.

So let’s be sincere about that. However it’s not a faux dream while you’re in my odd scenario. I’m surrounded by individuals who make 6 and seven figures on-line.

Folks equivalent to:

• Dan Koe
• Dan Go
• Matt Gray
• Todd Brison
• Zach Progob
• Dakota Robertson

I chat with them often. After a when you start to see patterns, irrespective of your intelligence.

I’d need to be silly after 9 years not to know one thing about this matter, given I’ve achieved the aim (admittedly it took me longer than a 12 months).

Within the headline it says twelve months. It is a goalpost to purpose for.

For a few of you it’ll take longer, and for some you’ll do it quicker. The purpose of this text is to be a tough blueprint, not a precise science.

Why?

Everybody’s journey on-line will probably be totally different. How dare I let you know what yours will probably be like? Who am I … an web Jesus? No.

The important thing right here is to have an open thoughts. Contemplate that I is likely to be proper and experiment for your self.

I’m going to piss off each finance bro that ever lived with this one.

Promote your time.

Wait, what!?

Yep. To start with, the quickest solution to become profitable on-line is to promote your time within the type of:

• Freelancing
• Contracting
• Or teaching

That’s what I did within the early days. It’s extra concerning the mindset shift than the cash you’ll earn. When you become profitable exterior of a standard job, all the pieces modifications.

New ranges of life get unlocked.

The opposite purpose to begin by promoting your time is that you just solely want 3–5 individuals a month paying you $3000 to hit 6 figures.

Meaning you don’t want heaps of leads or hundreds of thousands of followers on social media. One of the simplest ways to draw these prospects is with beginner-level content material you publish on social media tied to a subject you realize about.

For those who can’t consider a subject, then write concerning the abilities or business connected to your job. Chances are high you realize that higher than most.

I’m telling you to begin with a handful of shoppers for a purpose.

Once I began out I used to be a social media coach. I knew it wasn’t what I wished to do long-term — early mornings, ache within the ass prospects, homework, lengthy Zoom calls.

However these early teaching shopper guinea pigs helped me perceive my goal market’s psychology and to be taught what issues they confronted.

As soon as I knew that it was simpler to transition to the following step.

Companies that promote programs or data merchandise are sometimes, wrongly, labeled scammy.

“They’re promoting the dream, I inform ya.”

What these skeptics get incorrect is the fashionable enterprise is an training firm in disguise. It began with web sites.

Companies created web sites stuffed with, you guessed it, data. They needed to educate potential prospects on what they bought and why they did it.

Then social media got here alongside and upended the whole sport. Immediately companies needed to publish every day “content material.” Now AI has come alongside and smacked us within the butts once more.

Quickly companies will want human-like chatbots to teach their goal markets. There’s no escaping the knowledge age.

The tangible takeaway right here for you is you’ll have to get on social media — both beneath your personal identify, or utilizing a nickname.

When good-hearted, regular individuals search to become profitable on-line they make one massive mistake. They are saying this:

“What’s my product? What do I’ve to promote?”

This mind-set by no means works.

At the beginning you don’t have anything to promote. Aside from providing a service on the again finish to get to 6-figures, what you need to do is provide a free product as an alternative.

• Free merchandise scale quicker.
• Free merchandise have infinite distribution {that a} paywall can’t mess with.

Now, right here’s the place I let you know I’m a dumb-dumb. I’ve supplied free merchandise for years. What I’ve by no means performed is create an e-mail course.

After watching individuals like Nicolas Cole and Ali Abdaal construct 7 and eight figures enterprise off the again of e-mail programs … I’ve realized I missed this chance and am working to repair it.

Don’t you miss it too.

To make issues worse, my enterprise companion not too long ago purchased a well-liked ConvertKit course. Many 7-figure creators say it helped them get to the place they’re.

Mainly the entire course is a blueprint for the best way to create an e-mail course.

An e-mail course is a collection of free emails you ship individuals to assist them with an issue. It’s extra detailed than a tweet or an article like this. It could even be custom-made based mostly on a person’s targets.

Providing a free product could make you’re feeling such as you need to piss your pants.

That concern is regular. However what you should do is recover from it and provide a free product, which would be the basis for a paid product later

No information, no paycheck

It’s time to scream this one from the hills…

Cease guessing.

An e-mail course offers you information on what individuals ACTUALLY need, not what you THINK they need.

In my final article on this matter just a few critics mentioned “However I maintain getting caught on-line!” For those who observe the info you gained’t get caught. And outdoors of that it’s greatest *not* to be a lone wolf.

For those who get caught then pay for teaching from somebody on-line who’s smarter than you and has social proof. Or be part of a group of sensible individuals who have an analogous on-line aim to you, and crowdsource methods.

No matter you do, simply don’t sit there alone saying you’re caught or it’s exhausting. It’s purported to be. Be resourceful.

With information and a group of individuals round you, it’s time to construct a product and launch it.

Merchandise are what get you to 7 figures.

Essentially the most important clue to an excellent product is that this: what one piece of content material that you just printed on-line grew to become your most profitable?

That piece of content material will hopefully have feedback. Learn them. See what individuals are saying. Get a really feel for an answer you might provide to a typical drawback.

The product doesn’t need to be a course or a ebook both.

It may very well be a bodily product, a stay occasion, a membership platform, a chunk of software program. The kind of product doesn’t matter a lot.

What issues is you launch one thing.

That is gonna sound wild.

Once I launch a product, I don’t have a product. All I’ve is a touchdown web page with a abstract of what the product is. Then I drive visitors to the web page to see if anybody is .

When somebody buys no matter it’s, I’ve two choices:

1. Ship the product
2. Problem a refund

If sufficient gross sales come by the door then I launch. In the event that they don’t then I challenge refunds.

My first on-line training firm failed spectacularly. I constructed a product that taught individuals the best way to get printed in publications like Forbes.

Solely three individuals purchased. LOL.

So I simply refunded the cash … however I realized many vital classes that I carried out on the following product.

I adopted this system 2 extra instances (as a result of I’m dumb as a plank of wooden) and ultimately landed on the web enterprise I’ve now.

See the facility of launching? It teaches what you don’t know. Trigger sitting there saying “I don’t know” and having a cry does nothing (I’ve tried that).

One other mind-bender.

7-figure companies are connected to communities. Learn that once more.

There isn’t a single 7-figure creator I do know who doesn’t run a group. That’s not a coincidence. Within the previous days, we had minimal viable merchandise. Within the new world, we now have minimal viable communities.

Your capacity to steer individuals or get them into the identical on-line house is extra highly effective than your capacity to market or promote. That’s an enormous alternative for a lot of of you — particularly these of you who hate promoting and assume it’s evil.

What do you promote to a group?

No matter they need. How do you discover out? Ask them by emails, surveys, 1–1 Zoom calls. These items is baby’s play.

One other widespread objection is “The place do I host my group?” Who the F cares. Anyplace — Fb, Slack, Discord.

The device you utilize issues rather a lot lower than the tender/exhausting abilities you possess. A winner with the proper mindset will discover a approach and never let the identify of an app maintain them from their on-line aim.

“Shut up Tim, you’ve acquired a large viewers.”

That’s one other pushback I’ve had. The concept you want hundreds of thousands of followers or an e-mail record greater than Tim Ferriss is a fable.

Particularly now on this planet of publication suggestions.

You’ll be able to actually use ConvertKit, Beehiiv, or $ub$stack to purchase different individuals’s e-mail subscribers. Or you should utilize the free strategy and companion with comparable individuals to you to advocate one another’s e-mail lists.

For instance, Doreen has an e-mail record about drugs. You may have an e-mail record about most cancers survivors. You’ll be able to ship Doreen an e-mail or direct message and ask her if she’d be keen to advocate your publication in return for you recommending hers.

Then each time somebody joins her e-mail record, they get a small notification on the finish for them to additionally be part of your e-mail record.

This one method has made the aim of constructing 7 figures on-line attainable for therefore many extra individuals.

For those who do some or all of what I’ve advised it’ll get you far.

One dumb factor I missed is I solely supplied merchandise on the market at low worth factors. Not way back I launched a product for $10,000.

I believed no one would have an interest.

Seems I used to be lifeless incorrect.

The lesson right here is to all the time ensure you have merchandise on the market at totally different worth factors. Rich individuals typically see low worth factors as an indication the product is low worth. I want I had recognized this earlier.

So experiment with these worth factors:

• $50-$100
• $500-$1000
• $5000
• $10,000

If in case you have nothing to promote at a selected worth, then some individuals don’t have anything to purchase from you.

What you’ve simply learn is a tough information.

Greater than precise steps, it’s stuffed with highly effective concepts I’ve realized. Take some or all of those concepts and go experiment with them.

Begin with a service to get some cash flowing, then dare to progress to merchandise to improve from 6 to 7 figures.

If you wish to do services and products collectively then you may. Simply keep in mind a service sells your time so it does restrict your freedom.

Have enjoyable on the market and ensure to community within the DMs.
