Dakota Robertson breaks down earning your first dollar online: pick a skill you care about that people pay for, like writing or copywriting. Learn free fundamentals on YouTube. Then actually do the work. The real barrier is mental, not technical.
Advice for making your first dollar online?
I would pick a skill first off, and when you're picking a skill, you want to find something that you have interest in because that's what's going to keep you interested in learning more and actually stay consistent. And then you want to find alignment with market demand. So you want to think, okay, where, what are things I'm interested in that I can monetize. So writing, sales might be one, marketing, copywriting, stuff like that, because I think there's a lot of people trying to monetize shit where there might not be demand for, and that's why they struggle to make money. So yeah, once you have that, then find the experts in the field on YouTube or wherever and learn from them. There's a ton of free content out there for everything. And then start to apply this stuff and then consistently, you'll, over time you'll see results.
Facts. I feel like the first dollar is the hardest. Yeah. A lot of the time for people it's really just like the paradigm shift in the brain. Yeah.
Because it's such a big switch going from zero to one because it's, it's a paradigm shift. You know, you've been, there's people saying, making $10K a month is a scam. Meanwhile, there's people making $100K, $1 million a month. And it's not until you actually make that first dollar you realize, oh, I can make $100, make $1,000. And then your, your mind is just expanded upon what's possible and you realize, oh, this shit's actually true. But takes a little bit to get there.
