There are hundreds of videos talking about different ways to make money online. And the truth is, some of them do work. But today, I want to share what I believe is the best online business to start as a beginner. And for some reason, almost no one is talking about it. So in this video, I'll be breaking down what the business model is, why it works so well, and the five steps that you could take today to actually get started. Because this isn't like other business models that require you to learn a bunch of complicated skills or just need you to just quit your job, or just drop everything inside of your life in order to start it. This business is called a lead generation agency. And here's why. It's one of the best businesses for beginners. It's simple to start, it's always in demand, and it actually adds real value. In fact, I've helped over 150 people start their own lead generation agencies and many of them have gone from 0 to 5k, 10k or even $20,000 per month. And the best part is it's something that you can start with just one or two hours a day. Because this isn't just about starting any business. It's about building a long term sustainable business that gives you financial time and location freedom to just live life on your own terms. So step one, first, what even is a lead generation agency? There are tens of millions of B2B businesses all around the world and all of them need more customers. And according to a massive study, 68% of businesses actually struggle with lead generation and just attracting more customers. And this is important because if a business has can't get more customers, they'll just have to fire all of their employees and just be forced to shut down. And the reason that we're focusing on B2B, meaning businesses that sell to other businesses, is because they usually charge high prices, meaning they can actually afford to invest into lead generation. So what this means is that every business will always need lead generation. It's super high in demand, regardless of economic or political situations. And this creates a massive opportunity for just anyone who, who's able to help these businesses with lead generation, which is exactly what we're doing here. And the biggest reason why this is the best online business in 2025 is because it's super simple to learn. You don't have to learn a bunch of complex stuff, because how you're generating these leads is by sending simple three line emails just like this one to businesses to book sales costs. And because you only need to learn how to send these emails, it means you could actually learn this way faster and actually make money asap. Now step two is to pick a niche. So a lot of people actually overcomplicate this process and. But all you're doing is just picking one industry to sell lead generation services to. You want to keep it broad and make sure they're selling to other businesses. So for example, here's a list of just a bunch of great B2B niches that you can actually work with. Marketing agencies, recruitment agencies, software companies, and all you have to do is just pick one of these industries that just stands out to you most. So for step three, after you pick a niche, you want to launch your very first cold email campaign. So the entire concept of a lead generation agency just revolves around one thing, cold emails. So that three line email that I showed you earlier, that's what's called a cold email. Because a cold email is literally an email that is sent to someone who just doesn't know who you are yet, where you're kind of just introducing yourself and just offering what you sell to them. It's kind of similar to just knocking on a stranger's door and basically saying, hi, I noticed you might need this and I'd love to help you. And how you want to write your cold emails is by following this structure. Start with an intro question. So something like, hey John, is your company looking for more clients? Tell them how you can help them. So reason for reaching out is we can actually help you bring us three to five new clients in the next 90 days with our lead generation strategies. And make sure you end your email with a concrete next step. Something like if you're open to a quick chat, we could put something on the calendar for Thursday or Friday. Now one of the best parts about this business is you're not just manually sending these emails to one by one. Instead you want to leverage AI tools that will let you automatically send these emails, meaning you can send hundreds of cold emails every single day, essentially on AutoPilot. Now step four is taking sales calls and actually signing clients. So for every 100 businesses that you email, a few of them will actually reply back. Looking to learn more, your next step is to set up a call with these businesses where on that call you're going to be explaining how you can help them generate more leads for their business. You want to ask them a couple questions just to learn more about their business. You know, what they sell, who they sell to, and what are they doing right now to get more customers and clients. Make sure you don't overthink this. It's just a normal conversation where you're just trying to understand if you can help them with lead generation in the first place. And at the end of the conversation, all you want to do is just tell them that you can help them with lead generation for 1,500 to $3,000. My very first client paid me $3,000. And this is a very realistic number because you're selling something that's actually valuable and that helps businesses actually make more money. So once you get a client, we're at step five, which is getting results for your clients. And this is honestly the most important step because you don't want to just be another Internet scammer. This is a real long term business that provides real value and you also want to get your client's results so that you could just collect case studies asap. Now the good news is, since you use cold emails to just generate leads and find a client for yourself, you should have a pretty decent understanding of just how everything works. Remember, you literally did it for yourself. However, this time you're just doing it for your clients. Now that's exactly how you can start your own lead generation agency. This is a sustainable long term business and you essentially just want to repeat the exact same process over and over and over again. Because if a client pays you $2,000, you really only need five of them to get to $10,000 per month. And this is perfectly possible to do within the next 90 days.
