How I make $4000 a Month - You can do it too...

by Phil Essex
101 replies
I was looking at a couple of Forums today and keep reading about affilate programs,SEO,Youtube - you know, all that stuff - fess up, how many of you are making a living off that method? Feel free to tell me Damn few I know for sure. Working hard for a few dollars is not the way to go. I have another option for anyone with a bit of smarts to consider.

I know one thing - you need to sell things - not buy things to make money online.

So that's what I do - I sell stuff -

It took time and energy to learn - there is no instant cash machine. If your lazy or want instant riches with zero effort good luck to you...

You have to build a list first off - that's the key.

Then you have to learn traffic generation. That's the water that flows the income to you.

You need to have products to offer. Otherwise how will you make money?

BUT HERE IS THE MAIN THING I WANT TO CONVEY!

Do you have a skill? A talent? A training?



Can you fish?
Can you cook?
Can you carve wood?
Can you identify birds?
Can you fix cars?
Do you know herbs?
Do you know beer making?
Do you dance well?
Do you play the guitar?
Do you know acupressure?


Start a site talking about it - make a forum on it - go to other similar forums and offer help, get known tyhere as an expert - put a link to your forum in your signature. You will be surprised to see the result - always offer help and support to people. It will always come back to you. People will come and start believing in your expertise.

They will WANT you to teach them!

Make a course of what you know - I am telling you people want to know it!

Write the course! Write 12 months of it - one lesson at a time. It's easier than it sounds. When I was young my Dad would carry in wood for the furnace (I am Canadian so it's not as odd as it sounds haha) and I asked him "Dad how can you carry in a whole cord of wood (look it up lol) He said " I don't carry in a whole cord of wood - I carry in one stick of wood at a time." So do one step at a time. Write one small lesson at a time... make a plan - write it down and give it a shot. You have little to lose and a lot to gain. (There are other ways too - PLR - Fiverr - a host of options)

Charge $400 or more for it. At the end give a certificate of completion.

I do just this everyday and make $4000 a month - you can too!

Just start - make a simple site with a forum on it today.

You might think I am kidding but I am not!

This is a goldmine if you take action. And it's much quicker than you think. In a month you will be rolling!

Fooling around with $7 dollar products will never make you secure financially. That's the fact.

I hope a few of you think about this!

Regards
Phil Eugene

      Brian Dean has built a MASSIVE INCOME based on your set of circumstances. He knew SEO and he resolved to teach others. If he can do it, you can do it too

      You just need case studies and you need to build a distribution network for your content.

      The good news is that this doesn't have to cost much money.

      About three years back that was in fact my price for a SEO course teaching people how to build PBNs. I sold hundreds without doing an official launch. it was easily the highest pay per hour of anything I have ever done.

      I sometimes look back and wish I had done nothing else (I probably would have had 15+ courses out there making money while I slept) but i was also doing service work which never paid as high per hour and you just can't control outcomes of like you can a training course. You take 40-80 hours to create course and every time it sells theres no added hours to put in (ok well maybe a few more questions to answer). The payback per hour just keeps increasing until the course is out of date (which will happen and allow you to redo and resell again if its a technical changing subject).

      As for the people wondering if people will pay for a hobby. Do you know how much guys pay for spoilers for their car? I know people with $200 a month cable bills who hardly watch television and they pay it month after month without blinking.

      Plus there is the monthly subscription model if you prefer. $29 a month is about $360 a year - just make sure you drip feed or better.

      Phil's point on building communities is spot on as well

      A) if you can see a community forming or already formed around the general niche you train in then you probably have a winner

      B) it feeds directly into one of the most powerful but seldom well used traffic sources of the 21st century. Selling a product to facebook and twitter users is what plenty of people say doesn't work. They say that because instead of taking a community approach they were trying to crash a social event pushing a product which never goes over well at parties either. People pick up clients at parties all the time but the good ones don't do it by whipping out sales material. they build relationships and trust so when the party contact wants what they offer its their phone they ring. Social networks work the same way just with potentially millions of people.

        This is a great post and you make some great analogies on it. Especially the fact that many people just blindly pay $200 on a cable bill single every month without even blinking an eye (and even if they do blink they STILL pay it lol). And do they really need it? Nope! The strategies of contained in this thread are really fundamental and basic human nature. People buy from people (or sources) that they know and trust. And if you come to be recognized as that trusted source, then you will have no problem making sales. The friction comes when you're try to make "quick hit" sales. Yeah that might get you a few bucks here & there, and yeah you made a sale, but that's not the same as creating a customer. And in order to build a strong business, you must create customers or you will always be that web junkie looking for that next "quick hit" to pay his bills.

      That's the problem and primarily the opportunity for online educators. There is too much for free. There is so damned much it is overwhelming. People pay for knowledge, sure, but mostly they pay for direction and clarity. That's where you come in. As an online educator, you deliver exactly the information they need, in the exact order and time they need it.

      There's a reason online courses are growing so fast. Part of it is format. You can have videos, printed text, images, and then be interactive, Very cool, but it's the ability to provide the perfect combination of knowledge, direction, and clarity that you're really selling. Think about that when you make your course and marketing for it.

    Yes absolutely - $197 is too low a price. Offer a longer term course - deliver it over a period of months.

    I want to add something here - the key is building up a trust and rapport with your customers - just selling a course will get you a few sales but for a more longterm business you need to do something similar to what I outlined above. A site with a forum about SEO where you are the expert. It will grow - everybody is interested in this - and you can offer courses. One a smaller one for $197 - an advanced course for $400 - like that - don't be afraid to ask for it - if I said to you I could teach you how to drive great traffic to your site for life and only at a cost of $400 for a 6 months course wouldn't you consider it?`

        Hey Phil thanks for the good post.

        But in all due respect I have to say Iam not crazy about this Model.

        Too much of people teaching others how to teach others on how to teach others in being Teachers/ Coaches.

        In many of these cases there is no real, altruistic value being traded. Just a viscous never ending cycle going round and round

        I think a student should learn the basics and practice a real life business and make some money doing this actual business over time { whether it be affiliate Marketing, SEO, Article Marketing, Product Creation etc..) and then consider maybe teaching and coaching this stuff

        That's just my opinion

          Your opinion is totally right! and I am tired of all of these ideas that lead people to become a pyramid scheme experts....what is the point of your product really? what difference are you making in society? what kind of help are you giving to others? these are the questions that you should concentrate on when you are building your business/course

            Thank you Ibrahim .

            I think you put it aptly and very nicely when you said "what difference are you making in society? "

            Honestly , I just don't see much Value to Society in a lot of these "Coaching to be Coaches" Scenarios I come across.

            Of course there are some very Legit Coaches who have been down in
            down in the "Trenches" and I have complete respect for them.

            But just too much of the other crap that tarnished these good ones

      i definitely agree with all that you said here, in order to make sales you have to build trust and that's done with free value which can be either achieved through a forum or a blog of some kind where you would share what you know so that you can be percieved as an authority on the subject.

      It takes time and effort to do it but when you have a group of people that follow you and trust you, then you have a great business model.

      They say that jesus was a great businessman because he had created a large following for himself.

      Are you kidding me? One of the richest guys online sells hobby kit plans for little woodworking items. Hobby is just another word for a career potential. Pretty much every skill I know started out as a hobby.

      My mom has bought more courses than I can shake a stick at - shes an artist and a cook and can't resist learning something new. You get the idea.

      I myself spent $1500 dollars for a course in online natural medicine PLUS $400 for another course.. You can't assume that $400 is a lot of money for the average working person. It really isn't

      More ..if anyone thinks that the hobby can earn them money in the future they are more than willing to jump in... I started out learning herbal medicine for my own interest and eventually became a naturopath - this kept expanding till I was running full time clinic - and it all started by my interest in it as a hobby. Hobbyist are all nuts haha and willing to pay... What are you interested in the most? I bet I could sell you a course in it

      People will pay any amount of money for something they feel is worth it. I sold a Legend of Zelda game for $200 last Christmas. I paid $60 for it when it first came out.

      So yes. People will pay hundreds, if not thousands for hobbies.

      yes, absolutely!

      I am a huge Tolkien fan - I must have forked out over that amount on books, movies, games, gear for the Lord of the Rings stuff - so yeah, hobbies are a gold mine and anyone selling to a passionate hobby niche is probably making pretty good coin -

      I once landed a $700 cash gig to create a LOTRO guild website that was back in 2007 which was the year I also became a Founder player of LOTRO so I was spending money in that niche and making money in that niche at the same time.

      I would, if it was something I genuinely wanted to learn. In fact, I HAVE paid that much to learn things that were purely for my own enjoyment or personal enrichment. I imagine other people do it, too. That's why places like MasterClass (an online learning platform with some pretty famous teachers) do so well and can get away with charging so much.

    I agree. Selling a product can bring you huge floods of income when you go to launch it, and it'll give you a nice email list you can sell to again and again. I think the best route is to do a mix of selling your own products + selling other peoples product. Having multiple income streams never hurt anybody

      I completely agree with you Edwin, Your own quality products to put your value in the market, as well as selling other products is the best way to do it, at least in my opinion. I also really like the initial idea of making a big long term course and selling it for $300+. If that is something one is wiling to do, it definitely i a great business model.

    truth be told I dont implement all of these tips in my funnel. But I think I should test it. good one

    Great post Phil...

    as a newbie..it gets really hectic trying to manage your way and money through the interweb full of scams and promises..so starting to sell you passion is a great idea..its just that the lure of great returns ensures people like me get caught into a world that has great benefit but without your own action...you actually end up just chasing your tail...

    I know i would love to earn $4k a month...living in south africa...that equates to almost 15times for me..so that sort of income sound fab...thus i restarted my journey and found this forum and others to gain as much experience and knowledge i can to get my blog to a good position until i can generate income...

    thank you again for the post.

    Hey Phil,

    I am a Joomla CMS expert and can do almost any thing with it.

    I am looking for some guidance on how can I sell my skill as a product. As per my experience, service selling does not work too well and definitely can not make to $4000 per month.

    Any thoughts ?

    Great advises. High prices for the products are associated with higher quality and therefore are in demand. If you have some exceptional skill I would advise also to try freelancing. It's also great thing. But I also like selling products. It has huge advantages.

    I think the general idea of going for high-ticket items is a good idea. If you've got a skill you can market and make a course out of, then that's great. Otherwise, there are plenty of high-ticket affiliate products around.

    Some people do seem to be wary of selling expensive things, probably because they themselves are in the habit of trying to find cheap ways of doing things. What matters is what the buyer thinks - it's their perception of the value on offer that is important. This is especially true when it comes to dealing with businesses - they will often have a budget to spend on a particular area, and will quite happily spend a few hundred dollars on something in preference to finding something cheap on Fiverr.

    Phil,

    You say write the course month by month. Do you "drip" the course monthly or give it all up front?

    If you drip it, do you spread the $400 payments out too or do you collect it all up front?

    I just wanted to followup a little here - the one thing that is not getting emphasized enough is not the making a course part - It is creating a community.

    Take a look at what is happening right here right now - we are all interested in learning about making money here on the Warriors Forum. The owners are making thousands per day because of this. They are pretty much using the exact system I am talking about.

    They have made a Business out of our interests.Not just a one time launch or selling an affiliate product. It is because we believe this site has value and can benefit us that we are here.

    So I am trying to create a mindset that can understand how to actually make a living.

    One issue is the fact is few people want to put in the time and effort. If its just a hobby then fine - yo can make a few dollars now and again. But if it is a real lifetime business that can support you and your family then it requires some dedication.

    Everything else can be worked out. Making a course etc. Actually it is MUCH easier to make money outside this niche since generally speaking it is people selling shovels to each other.

    For example in my field - naturopathy - it is a cinch to sell courses starting from beginner to intermediate to advanced. BUT the key is not selling courses - the key is HELPING people in your own area. Before I ever sold anything I was just giving some tips on herbs in various forums - After awhile (not very long) people started coming to my own site and ASKING me for a course.It was never my intention to do something like that.

    It is definitely tougher to do this in the IM field which is why I started off the whole thread with "if you have a skill" but like I said, here we all are on the Warrior Forum, so its not impossible lol

    It is easier than most people think. 1 Make a site/blog about your interest. 2 Make a forum 3 post on like-minded forums 4 help people as much as you can. People will come to your site and get engaged 5 have a course on your subject

    Sorry this is so long !

      I hear you Phil. But just to clarify for others particularly Newbies ....this is just one angle/model to pursue and it can take you to new levels. Absolutely !!

      But it is definitely NOT the only Model to which you can be highly successful with. Actually, for many this may not be the most prudent Plan for them i.e building a Community with a Forum etc..etc..

      I think it is important to point out that there are many ways to skin a cat and this is just ONE excellent
      way

    Pushing me to take action! Nice work Phil.
    What I have understood is that the key here is "Helping others, that will automatically bring you some reputation and people will follow, what you will say/tell them. Later start a forum of your own and put it in your signature (on the forums, where you are helping them), they'll start getting to your forum" and this is where your success part starts off!

    Thanks for this Phil!

      Yes you can, There are several ways, You can start your blog and put your experience there. It's not about teaching fresher, it's about solutions to complex logical issues. You can start a quick book to learn any technology and mention best solutions. You can start as a consultant, freelancer.

    Absolutely Robert - there are lots of possibilities - I am just trying to present one of them and give people who have some skill or talent a few ideas...

    For example I have already had a couple people PM me asking them for assistance setting up this kind of system - now while I am not into doing that ( I am already way too busy lol ) I can pretty much guarantee that if I were to offer them a $400 training course on how to set up a $4000/month (or even $500) website, I would get at least one sale - and that would be from ONE post on a single forum.What if I posted on multiple forms everyday? And why would they buy it? because in a single post people got to know me a little and feel like I have some expertise.

    And partly that's because I am offering some ideas that can actually be acted upon - I have done it myself so it's not theory or speculation. I am not just posting a thank you to get my signature seen. Sure I want that but I am also putting in some time and effort to explain something that I know can work for at least some people.

    So it's not about the courses or particular way of making money online etc - its about confidence and belief in the poster and the sense they really are interested in providing you with something of use.

        I've seen this happen quite a bit with lots of non-IM forums. There are a few posters who become the GO TO people for certain topics. Soon enough, they are charging for webinars. It's all about building credibility and AUTHORITY over time.

    It's really more about the relationship building If a low price product can get more people to buy it that's great, it can also help to build a great audience, but $400 product can give you more money but very often, people decide to think again before they buy,

    or even worst if a product doesn't meet the quality standard, refund rates increase.

    First, you have to be creative, because no one buy something which someone already did. In case sharing experiences, skills or personal talents, doesn't it mean you archive a a lot? and that's not easy!

    I believe it comes from talents and... kind of "lucky", get your chance in right way at right time. Just because its easy to you doesn't mean its easy to everyone, don't convince people like that.

    Sounds to me like you are just building a for profit college.

    I'm on Robert's side however -- this is niche specific. While doing neuropathy ( which has nothing to do with your reflexology image by the way) makes it easy ; since people just buy that stuff like crazy.

    I can't see a man wanting to learn basic fishing online -- youtude has videos! LOL.

    A neuropathy school is better than a fishing school.

    BUT YES! This can work but hell yeah it will take a crap load of work.

    Tell us ... how long did it take you to make $4000 a month?

    AND also can you please say how are you maintaining that amount of profit each month.

    I respect and admire a for profit school ; especially one that actually helps people! Just never met a person who made one and shared it with everyone.

    Hi - I am just trying to give a few ideas - I think I said several times it takes hard work and dedication. The picture was just an example... anyway thanks to all the folks who posted a positive or constructive reply. This is just one way among many but it is a viable business plan for those who have the smarts to turn their talent or knowledge into a profitable venture- just as the warriors forum itself is.

    Finally I want to just add one thing - it is completely irrelevant that what you know can be found free on YouTube or anywhere else! Forget any idea like that - it will just stop you from moving forward. You can find a YouTube of how to cook anything but do you think that means people don't take cooking courses? It is the same kind of wrong idea that you have to price your business low because someone else is doing it. People VALUE what they pay for and especially if you take the time to make what you are offering a great product. Look at apple - they sell their products for a crazy high price - and just because of perceived value. I understand it can take a long time to learn and know all these things but the best way is to start and try. Finding reasons to not do something will never help you. Take action and be fearless.

      Yes youtube has it falls -- just like a for profit college . There are pros and cons for every business.

      Maybe I showcased a bad example? I genuinely mean I myself would go to youtude before investing $500 into a course that may or may not help me achieve my goals in the hopes of testing the water.

      I.E I'd hunt for basic fishing techniques on youtube but go to a college or school of some sort if I wanted to be a pro fisher or a competition fisher. ( being a nail tech and a competition fisher would be so awesome! And has been done too! )

      You can find a YouTube of how to cook anything but do you think that means people don't take cooking courses?

      LOVE online cooking videos! The last in person cooking class I went to they were using strawberries and didn't say it . Ended up having to spend the evening in the hospital.

      I get it .. you don't want to answer my "constructive" posting because it feels insulting to you. And I deeply apologize to you because as I said I am completely supportive of your business. Simply asking questions -- just like everyone else.

      Your ideas and advice are great appreciated and I'm sure they will aid many other people. Again I'm very sorry for insulting you.

    Thank you for your hints. I have been trading Forex since last 7 years so after reading your post it gave me this idea to create a course around this since I have learn't a lot in all these years which I can share with others. It is all valuable off course as who will take my course will not have to repeat those mistakes which I did.

    So yes, you're right. It should work and I can charge $197 for a video course including my all indicators and $997 for personal coaching. There are people already selling this for $297 on Udemy so why not me.

    SELL KNOWLEDGE? Why not?

    I did it on skillshare. It's good for every newbie to start making money without a website and without a list either. Slowly but sure! With skillshare, every IM beginner can start making money and gain reputation or authority at the same time easily. Even for Non-Native English like me.

    Phil, this is an absolutely amazing and workable idea. It seems after you have everything set up that you can more or less run it on autopilot with only a bit of promotion work required from you and of course, the most important part of it is that it cannot be saturated due to the wide variety of niches and skills that people have. Thanks for sharing this with us.

    The idea is to have multiple streams of income. I make money with two mini affiliate sites and I also outsource article writing to Filipinos. (Made a client list for articles in my early days doing freelance online. So I just kept it going by outsourcing).

    Now I create PLR packages through my intelligent writers who are always on standby for content writing projects. They also write ebooks, sales copy and product buying guides and reviews for clients too.

    There're a bucket load of ways to make money online. Choose one that suits you and then focus you eforts into seeing your dream become a reality.

    Very good insight! It takes an awful lot of low-end, $7 conversions to match a single $400 course sale.

      Hi Phil Here ... I am glad you liked the post = It is great to see it has generated a lot of interest. The reality is it can be done. Again it is not for everyone..it takes dedication and work. A few said it was too much work - well once you see a couple thousand a month coming in you won't think like that.

      The illusion that you can make a lot of money online without working hard and offering something of value is a hard pill to swallow but that's the fact really - most offline self employed people work 80 hours a week - translate that into working online and you will see results.

      Again I want to say this is not for everyone - but the premise is sound and can be applied to almost any area of working online.

      A couple of final points

      1: If you don't have a skill I suggest learning one! If that doesn't work learn another. Don't be afraid - keep expanding.

      2: Stop thinking people won't pay - that's because you don't have any money and can't put yourself into the shoes of people who have regular income and don't think anything of spending on something they are interested in. Readjust your mindset.

      3: Focus on community - focus on connection - focus on helping. That's the big key. Some can't do that but for those who can it's the big secret.

      4:This kind of business isn't about passing traffic through a funnel (hey it's a good model don't get me wrong!) it's about creating a place for your traffic to gain help and knowledge.

      5: It's just one way and it's aimed at folks who have something to offer to others - but it is a good way to set up a lifetime business.

      6: Write it down and start in little steps. What have you got to lose?

      Again I appreciate all the people who read and replied and hope some ideas got generated for you!

        I guess you're a master at this, I'm this thread won't stay down. Great information here!

        I'm trying to think what my baby shower audience would pay $400 for...

        Being that it's just a one time event.. I've surveyed my audience and most of them are not the expecting mothers but friends of (baby shower hosts)

        Hopefully I'll get there.

        Thanks again,

          Great - Do you have a site and a forum on it where your audience can discuss what they are interested in or looking for? That should be a first step - from there it can evolve and you will find something of interest that can be turned into a steadier income. Be an expert - offer help and advice that is useful...

            the forum part no,

            but it make sense to have one... people always want advice on decorating and games..

            Again, thanks for the idea.

            Take care,

    3 things.....

    1) I think OP is right. strong info.

    2) There are others who bring really cool stuff to the table.

    3) People reading this will do nothing with this info and look for the next guy rubbing his shiney bawls product. LOL.

    Basically the best info that was giving to me in under 10 seconds. Here it is......

    FIND OUT HOW TO MAKE $1, and then write down how you did that, and then UPSCALE and OUTSOURCE TO make ANY INCOME you want!!

    That is what I did to go from $100 a month to $700 USD a day.

    HOpe this helps someone, but it will only help you if you TAKE action.

    Cheers.

    Just want to add:

    Increasing the price of your product allows you to deal with fewer customers.

    Just way less stressful over the long run.

    Great post Phil!

    I can confirm that this works! My first IM business was selling my own digital video tutorial series and it was eventually paying my mortgage off for me while I let it run almost on autopilot.

    Know your niche and target market/customer, and create a digital product to cater to it... profit!
