15: How To Make More Money Using The Internet - #GrowYourLife

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Grow youw Life podcast, where I teach lessons on how you can grow in your life and in your business. I believe that if we grow in our life, it impacts our business results. But then when we grow, our business results, our life is impacted. And this allows us to grow in our influence, our reach, our authority, all of that. What we can do changes. If you're not part of the grow your life community on Facebook, look it up, it's on Facebook. It's free. Hashtag, grow your life. And there's over 800 people in there. It's a virtual mastermind of people growing their life, helping each other grow as well. You post questions, comments, what you're struggling with, or breakthroughs, and then comment back on ways to help people. I'm in there as well, commenting all the time, and we're all growing together based around this podcast and the live videos that I do every single morning on Facebook and Instagram, which are also on Instagram TV, my Facebook archive, and YouTube. That's where you can get more content. If you're listening to this podcast and you want more, I go deeper. 10 minutes a day, that's over an hour a week, separate, totally different content than from this podcast on those. So go check those out on my social media channels. Today, I want to talk about how to make money on the Internet. Now, I've made a couple podcasts about making money and I'm stair stepping them, I'm stacking them, they are building upon each other because I believe that if I can help people get a baseline and then we can grow from there, I can then hone into what's more specialized. So I've been doing more general training. This is one of my more specialized ones on this podcast. And the goal of this podcast is each episode is something that you can take and apply to grow in your life and your business. This week, every single week, it's like a complete. It's a. It's a mastermind, it's a training. It's a full training that I do, you know, and I'm not charging for it. And I'm gonna continue to do these episodes of the podcast, full trainings for people, at least for the next couple years. So every week to make money on the Internet. Though, for those of you that don't know my background, I did a. I did two podcast episodes on, you know, why you should make more money, how to make more money. I've solely made all of my income through the Internet or companies that are on the Internet that I worked for or work with my entire life, that's all I've done for a living. So in that I'm pretty young, I'm 31, but I've been doing that professionally for over 15 years and I literally full time professionally for the last 15 years, working on Internet marketing, sales, getting results through the Internet, learning on my own, learning through mentors, learning through from who I was working with and I'm able to pass on. It's not for me to look smart at all, you guys. I want to pass on what I know works to people. That way you don't have to spin in circles and try to figure it out for years. And this is the part of the podcast where the sales pitch would normally come in. But I don't have anything to sell you guys other than consulting services, coaching. And I have a course on building websites on Squarespace, which is one of the first places people need to start is having a website if they want to make money on the Internet. So if your website is not working like the rest of the Internet, it's not getting results. That's what that course is for. It's on my website. Website building made easy. So there's a little plug right there. Other than that though, I'm going to share a much deeper level about ways to make money on the Internet for you in this podcast to get your mind thinking into possibilities that you maybe never thought existed before. The Internet is. Was started back in the 19, actually. Well, actually I think it was like they were testing it in the, in the 60s. When was Darpanet? When did Darpanet come out? I don't know, but Darpanet ended in 1989. So it started. I'm actually really curious here. This is. We're going to start with this and I'm not going to do a big history lesson or all that. Yeah, 1969. 1969 is when DARPANET or ARPANET was started by the US Department of Defense as a interconnected way to communicate and talk and share information. So the Internet's been around since then and now it's become what it is today. You could get full mentorship and training from people like myself or like mentors that I recommend, like Ed Mylett, like Dave Meltzer, like Tim Bilyeu, like Jesse Itzler, like, you know, Dean Graziosi. These are different people that I listen to that I plug into as well. They're all people that have made over a hundred million dollars a year in their businesses. And I'm able to then even share some of that, apply it to my business, share what's universal to people, etc. The Internet, though, is an exceptional way. The most wealth that has been created in the world in the last 50 years, 60 years, has been because of the Internet. Okay? And so I don't want anybody to sleep on the Internet. There's a reason why I specifically dive into Internet marketing. And if you are building a brick and mortar business, a traditional business, utilizing the Internet to leverage all of your efforts is very important. And if, if you're thinking here, well, I'm not in an Internet company. This doesn't apply to me. That's where a disconnect as to what the Internet is comes from. The Internet is we're connected with cords to a network that connects me to you. I can connect to a server. You're watching this video or listening to this podcast. All through this interconnected way, we're basically communicating instantly. You're listening to me from the past. I recorded this on Saturday. Wherever you are right now, that's what the Internet's done. It's created almost limitless possibilities of how we can connect with people, and yet very few people still understand how to use it. And so what I want to talk to you about today is how to make money on the Internet, specifically, if you're just starting out. But also I want to open up your mind to the possibilities of ways that the Internet can leverage and grow your existing efforts. So let me start there, actually. If you have a traditional business that has either flatlined, you're not scaling, you're not growing, or you're growing just fine and you're not implementing the Internet in any way, possibly, or you try to and it failed. If you tried to and it failed, it's because you weren't doing it right, which is now no fault to yourself, you just didn't know how, or the people you hired didn't know how the Internet can leverage and reach so many more people than you could on your own. And now there's even robots that automate things. You can program these bots that go on the Internet and do things to reach thousands more people than you could on your own. This has been around for the last 20 years. So a lot of competitors, a lot of people. Let's look at who's the number one in your industry. They are all using the Internet. If you look at whatever you do do right now, who is the number one person in it? They are using the Internet to get more customers and more Results. And it could be as simple as if you have a furniture store. If you don't have an app for people to find your store and to look through your inventory, that's going to lose you money now in 2019, 2020. Okay, so in that the Internet has opened up so many possibilities to what was never possible. Also, we can learn from those that have come before us on how to do things better. Instead of trying to reinvent the wheel, we can restructure multiple things that we know are working. For instance, we know brick and mortar stores. If you have some sort of an app, an easy way for people to look up something, or even just an e commerce website that lists your products or services, which you can do all of this with Squarespace. I talk about that in my website building course, by the way. Then you can get more customers because you can actually have part of the conversation of what you offer, what you do without having to have the conversation with people. The Internet for a brick and mortar. Basically, the idea is, look at the majority of what you spend your time doing or your employees spend your time doing and figure out how to not have them do that anymore with the Internet. Now, that might freak some people out. They're like, wait, wait, wait. You said you want to get rid of jobs. No, I don't. I think that if we can automate something that's repetitive that the Internet can help with, or we can lower it. So when somebody calls, say, or you know, you could have an automated message on your voicemail saying, our hours of operations and locations are on our website, and then say them right there, right there. You just saved picking up the phone every single time somebody calls using the Internet. You can set up a voicemail service using the Internet with services like Grasshopper and other services like that. There's. There's so many ways to use the Internet to save time and money to make more money. I can guarantee that every single person listening to this, if you're in a traditional business, can make more money doing that. And if you have a business that is making money and you want to grow and learn how to use the Internet, better, send me a message. This is what I help, consult, and do consulting with. I really only do consulting now with businesses that have a profit model that are making money, because my rates that I work with people at are fifteen hundred dollars an hour. But I can talk with you for two to three hours a month. And we can come up with a strategy to leverage the Internet to get you more results. Okay, now that's Enough sales pitches right there for me. That's what I offer. And in this, though, I want to unlock your mind to possibilities that you maybe never thought were possible on the Internet. So before you go do that, listen through this entire podcast. I guarantee you this is going to help you make more money in whatever you do. And it's free, so it's not like you're gonna get your money back or anything. But, you know, share this podcast with somebody if you notice that it helped or don't, because they're your competitors. But this right here is one of the number one areas that I think a lot of people are lacking, is they, they don't see the Internet as the same as real life. Okay, you, right now listening to this. Do you see me talking on this podcast, this video, as if as it's real life, or am I somebody else that's off somewhere? Think about it. I'm. I'm right here. To me, I can pinch myself. I can touch myself. You can right now, if you're watching this, if you pinch yourself, you can touch yourself. The Internet allows us to communicate. I'm able to talk to you, speak to you directly. We're able. It's a monologue, but it's impacting you in that way. And so in that I'm not actually there, we're not even having a live conversation. But if you're listening to this right now, it's having an impact on you, because I'm not treating this recording as if I'm talking to the ether or random people. I'm talking specifically to you right now that's listening to this. Now let's take a step back. There's going to be thousands of yous listening to this. But I'm not acting like there's thousands of them. I'm acting like it's just you and me right now. Okay, it's kind of freaky, I know, but that's what you need to do with your customers when you're selling on the Internet. You need to learn how to make a connection, a one on one connection, as if you're in the same room together through the Internet, through the words you say, through the videos you make, through the recordings, through whatever you do, your sales messages, your product descriptions, all of that have to feel like, wow, I just walked into a virtual store and somebody actually cares about me. And my goal is this. When somebody listens to my podcast, they can tell that I care about getting people results. I want to share everything I know with people so that you can get more results than even I could on my own. And we can impact the world and make it a better place with good solid morals, ethics, being upright, loving, loving other people and coming from that place first. And a place of joy, not striving. Okay? And that's where my philosophy comes from. The words you use on the Internet matter. The words you use on a phone call matter. So we know this when we make a phone call, when we make a sales phone call like this, I'm talking directly to somebody. We're able to connect very person to person. Especially when there's live video. It's like super connected. Okay? For you to grow, to go to the next level of where you need to with the Internet, if you have an existing business, you have to have that same feeling, that same connection on your recorded, on your written, on your produced content has to have the same one on one connection. And if you can do this and then you can streamline, make it very easy for people to know. How do I buy from you? How do I give you money? How do I get what I need without them ever having to pick up the phone or send you an email? And you automate that process. It's called the customer experience timeline, the customer journey, quote, unquote. So when somebody finds you they're on a journey, you have to be very self aware of what that journey is and help them along the way. Instead of setting up roadblocks, most of you listening to this right now unintentionally set up roadblocks on your customer journey, either for a lack of knowledge or you're worried about. This is one that I've seen that's really sad. You're worried about not looking smart enough to people, so you actually make things harder for them to get to where they want to go as your potential customer. If we can streamline this, this is all about thorough put how you get your customers, how you engage with them, how you deliver what you're offering. And if we can do this, if we can streamline this process to the point that it just flows through, it doesn't. There's no bottlenecks. You can accomplish anything. And the Internet helps do that. So that's my plug for that. For people that have an existing business. Now, for those of you that don't have an existing business already, I didn't forget you. And if you already have an existing business, don't turn this off because this is going to give you some ideas that you also never thought were possible as well. A lot of people are on their own business journey. And I get that. And I want to help people from beginner to expert. My goal is to help create a hundred thousand millionaires. And I'm not, I understand to do that I have to find more people that are on the lower end that are just starting out, get them some results, and then help scale up the people that are on the higher end. So to start, most of my content is going to be more specifically geared around the beginner, while I currently then consult people that haven't established something and then they're going to meet together and I'll have self study and more recorded content for people that have existing businesses in the future. That's in the future. But I need to help other people get to where those people are. So if you're somebody that has an established business, I need to help the other people that don't get to the level that you're at, so then we can go further. And if you're somebody who doesn't have an established business, my goal is I want to help you get to the place where you have a business that's making you money, that's bringing in at least six figures minimum. That's from this podcast from doing this. At least six figures. And make, and then make my, you know, courses, my group, my live videos help you go further. So for those of you that are just starting out. So I did, I did previous podcasts on why you need to make more money. For somebody who has an existing business, the answer to all of your problems in your business is more money, more revenue, because you can then do more, you can hire more people, you can accomplish more. And so you might say, well, no, it's this. Well, yeah, but that boils down to basically more money would fix that. You could write a check and it would fix that. So there's that. Why you need more money. If you're somebody who's just starting out and you're like, well, I don't know why I needed to make more money. Go listen to that podcast. That's podcast episode number six, I believe it was, where I talked about why you should make more money. And then it's how you can make more money. And then I did how you can make $100,000 how anybody can. Okay, so those stair step from here. So if you're like, well, I don't know why I would do something on the Internet. You listen to this podcast and you're still kind of confused. I would go back to those ones on my podcast about why you should make more money. How to make more. And then how anybody can make $100,000. So that's based in any industry that you're in. I believe anybody can make 100 grand, no matter what industry they're in with the Internet or not, period. The Internet just makes it faster. Now what I want to talk about is specifically how to fast track your goals to making money on the Internet, specifically starting from scratch. And I believe that this, the Internet is the fastest place for anybody to make more money for themselves. I just pulled it up. Why everyone needs to make more money. Episode number four, episode number nine, how to make more money as an employee or business owner. Episode number 13, How Anyone can make a hundred thousand dollars minimum doing what they're already doing. So those right there are podcasts on those issues. I'm not going to talk about what I shared in those. So if those interest you, you can listen to those. For this, though, I believe that anybody who is just starting out wants to make more money. The Internet is the place to do so fastest. It's the place where you can make the most money the quickest. From a starting point. Jeff Bezos built the largest company in the world in 25 years, surpassed everything that's out there, surpassed, you know, Microsoft. Microsoft is not. So they made their money not just on the Internet, but computing in general. But then the Internet is a step further. Like I just, just look at Bezos. The fact that the most money in the world comes from the Internet tells you something. It's the fastest way to go. Now, you're not, you're not going to make the next Amazon, you're not going to make the next Facebook, you're not going to make the next Apple. Well, you might make the next Apple, but today, right now. But what you can do is you could make an extra hundred dollars a month, an extra $500 a month, an extra thousand a month, an extra ten thousand a month, one hundred thousand a month, one hundred thousand A day. What would that do? You know, that's over. I think that's like $36 million. What would that do? You know, the Internet can do that. And I believe that anybody can scale to eight figures and beyond using the Internet without having a lot of skill just by learning what works. Okay? And that's what my goal is as. I want to help people realize that, that anybody can make a minimum of a hundred grand. Anybody who's listening to this, I can help anybody make a million dollars. They're gonna need a little bit more guidance in that and any. And then I, you know, we can help people make more than that, but I also want people to unlock parts of their brain. The purpose of this podcast is to help people open up certain pathways of how they think about things that they've never thought of before, that they've never explored before, to get more results. Okay. And so that's the goal of this, is to help you open that up. If you're just starting out, making money on the Internet, there's a lot. There's. There's so much out there. You see so many ads, you're like, oh, my word, I don't know where to start. So that right there is inherently the issue is there's already so many starting places. You have to pick one. And I would recommend listening to somebody that you can resonate with that is teaching you where you're at, about where you want to go, not where you want to go, and then further, and you're confusing yourself. So right now, what I'm trying to do is teach you from where you're at. If you're just starting out and you haven't made any money online or you've made a little bit and you want to learn how to make more, anybody can make $100,000 on the Internet very easily in less than six months without any previous experience. Now, why would you want to do that? Well, because then you can roll it into other investments, and you can roll it into other businesses, other opportunities. The fastest way to grow generational wealth and to impact the world around you and change your financial situation is through the Internet, period. That is why I made my course Website building made Easy. You guys, you need a website to start. Okay. I've seen so many people, they like, they do everything, but their website stinks, and they're not making a connection with people because of that. And it's the number one thing that's held a lot of people back. So that's why that was the first course that I made, was that it's not going anywhere. The Internet's not going anywhere. It's also in its infancy, by the way. I want you to think about this, and this might be hard for you to imagine. It might not be, though. Technology is going to advance so much further than what it is today in the next 30 years, that you won't even recognize the world that we're living in, the same as you don't recognize the world we live. Lived in 30 years ago. And that comes from very reliable sources, not just my own personal opinion. Anybody who is, anybody that is, has their finger on the pulse of technology knows that. And it's all driven by the, the expansion of the Internet, the growth of the Internet. You making the Internet go into outer space, for example, like, that's just, it's crazy. I'm gonna keep it back down to earth though, for you guys. So I want you to understand that you might feel like you missed the boat a little bit with the Internet because, you know, the, the Internet, the stock market went up so fast with the Internet back in 2000s, the.com boom. But we've now surpassed that value right there in the stock market. Oh man. I went, I went off on a tangent right there. But that's just the beginning. We're still in the very beginning stages of the Internet. It's not going anywhere. The future of what's available in the next 30 years is so much greater than what was, has ever been possible. And so that's why I encourage people, you need to start using the Internet to grow or you will cease to exist at the level that you either were previously or would like to go if you're not going to use the Internet properly. So that's the other thing is a lot of people that use the Internet, they don't use it properly. And that's what I help, that's what I help consult businesses to do in my consulting is what works, what doesn't. And that way we don't have to waste time getting results. But if you're just starting out, you're, you're, you know, you're in a job somewhere, you see these ads like, oh, how to make a lot of money online, blah, blah, blah, blah. They're all, you know, most of them are scams. They really are, because they're really easy to hook people in. And I will say that unashamedly. I even admit that some people seeing what I do might think, oh, that's a scam. But once they dive in, they know that I actually helping people. I'm helping like, create a, create a path to get people results that works from my own experience. And so you can get confused by so much of what's out there, what website you need, where do you start? Do you need a click funnel? Do you need a squarespace? Do you need a WordPress? Do you need a that? Do you need this? Do you need a that? Okay, stop letting all the information and the information superhighway confuse you. Get focused on what you can resonate with specifically. And then in that, take a look at what you currently have knowledge and understanding about. One of the fastest ways to make money on the Internet is a knowledge based business. Sharing your knowledge with other people to help them, either by a service or, or then courses done for you, consulting and courses and how to do that. And that's one of the fastest ways to build up to a seven figure income that anybody can do. Starting out now, one thing I want to say, follow what I'm doing. Not just what I say, but also what I'm doing. I'm sharing what I'm doing, but I can only share so much at one time. You can actually look at what I'm doing with my Facebook group, with my podcast, with my live videos, with my courses, and start to understand what I'm doing, where I'm trying to help people. Go and use it as a model for yourself, for your own success, whatever industry you're in. Not to copy it, but to look at what's the experience, what's the idea behind it, what's the big idea? Okay, and that'll work. And anybody can take whatever experience, knowledge or understanding they have, apply it online using the Internet. So for example, let's say you understand a lot about car parts. A lot of people come to you and ask information about cars. You could find a way to wholesale car parts, especially if you're working for an automotive shop or a auto parts company. You could wholesale it to people that come to you directly, not just to your company. And you build a personal brand around that that you could then grow to six or seven figures and then use the Internet to connect with more customers, manufacture your own products and do that. I know some friends that have done that, that I've encouraged to do that. And they've gotten results just by taking their own knowledge, setting up a simple website like on Squarespace, like I teach in the website building course that lists a couple of their products and then they sell them, they connect or they do, you know, services. You can use the Internet to help to, to just do a service for somebody and they can pay you through PayPal or through Venmo or the Cash app or something. So let's hone this into the very core level. This is what I talked about, how anybody can make a hundred thousand dollars. And that's what that whole podcast is about. So I'm not going to repeat that whole podcast here. But that's what this, that's what that's about is taking what, what you already know how to do and then building a business around it. And then you can Use the Internet to leverage that to reach more people. You could run advertisements to a landing page to a very niche audience of people to get them to engage or retarget them for what you offer. Now those are a lot of big words that you might not know what they mean. And that's okay. That's what I teach about when I talk about Facebook ads. That's why I think it's a very big disservice that's in the industry of Internet marketing. A lot of people are teaching Facebook ads and course creation and building an agency and doing services without building a foundation or understanding first of what those mean. That way people can actually get results for other people and for themselves. So one of the fastest ways that you can make money on the Internet is to learn how to use it, learn how it works. And then from what you learn, you can then do it for other people as a service, as an agency. So for example, you can either take what you learn, if it's a brick and mortar e commerce, learn how to connect people with what they need, and then discover how to reach new clientele, new customers through the Internet. You can do this through messenger, through Instagram, through Facebook groups, through all these different ways to reach people. Just in that sense going from an employee to that. Now if you're, if you have a specific niche product that you manufacture, you need to find the people that want to use your product. You need some sort of a website, you need to talk about it. You need to be the biggest ambassador for your product and show your face. One of the biggest things that a lot of people miss out on when they're trying to sell on the Internet is they don't show their face. One of the biggest reasons why you trust me listening to this is because you've seen my face. You can talk to me, I message people back, I respond to comments, you can see videos, you can tell who I am. That connection right there, that connection that we make, that we're even making right now, if you're listening to this, if you're watching this video, I'm looking right into the camera. That connection is so important, especially when trying to reach and sell to people. You know, if you're somebody that is an educator, an author, a speaker, you can take the knowledge that you've been sharing with people over the years and instead of just doing one on one, you could teach a thousand people with a course. And then the ones that need next level training, you can then have them come in one on one. That way you saved yourself 10 hours times a thousand people, that's 10,000 hours. You charge $97 for that. You made $97,000 for 10,000 hours of work. Okay, and so, so in that, that's only $10 an hour. That's what people are, most people are willing to pay on the Internet for certain things like that. But here's the thing. You saved yourself 10,000 hours. So let's divide that by 40, divided by 52. That would have taken you five years to do what a course that's 10 hours long could do in less than three to six months. So you just condensed five years of work into six months part time. And that's making you, that's making you about $200 an hour for your efforts right there. So whatever your rate is, you can actually use that algorithm to plug that into that. If you're an educator or a teacher or a consultant or something is that's how the Internet can help leverage your time more. And I know that might have been really quick. I was doing the math on that. So if you take, let's say you're somebody that makes 150 an hour doing something, you can actually increase your income. Or let's say you make $50 an hour, you could reach people, 10 hours of sessions of coaching, coaching a thousand people in a six month period that would have taken you five years to do and make $200 an hour for your efforts or more doing it by leveraging the Internet and then scale from there. That's what the Internet allows you to do. I can speak to people. If I did one on one coaching just this, on this podcast with people, the thousands of people that listen, it would take me thousands of hours to impact this many people. That's why I record it. That's why I create that connection. That's why I'm creating materials for you. No matter where you're starting out, you can apply this. So if you're making $10 an hour, you could figure out a skill set that makes you 25 or 60 or 100 an hour on the Internet and start a business working half as many hours making 5 times 10 times as much. So you just 20x your income, but the same work and effort half, half the time part time. That's what the Internet allows people to do. And unfortunately there's a lot of people that are selling people on that. And what I'm going to give you here in this podcast is the equivalent to what a lot of people sell in their $5,000 courses. They sell you all this same information I'm giving you as some of those ways to do that. So some of the ways to make money on the Internet are you either make a product or you source one. You manufacture a source of product and you sell it through a website, through channels, or through affiliates, through people that sell it through a network, or through advertising campaigns. So that's one way. Now another sidebar to that is, whatever that is could be anything. It could be a movie, it could be music, it could be online education, it could be clothing, it could be a nutritional, it could be automotive, it could be any industry you think of. A product can be sold on the Internet. And that's really the basis of that. The other way is you can connect people. You can be a connector and utilize your time by connecting, making connections, networking. You can do consulting. You can spend your time talking. And that's the next level of that. You can use your knowledge and understanding to help other people on a deeper level and connect and get paid for it. So that's another way. Another way is you could develop an app that does a service, a high end. So, okay, this is what's funny. We're a lot of people mix apps up. Your app is supposed to save you hundreds of hours of time and your customers by being in a centralized place. That's where a lot of people miss it. So you create an app that saves people hundreds of hours. It could either be free and you could have a membership model attached to it, or you could sell advertising. Or it's a paid app or a program. It's a paid app or program. For instance, you know, an app that calculates the taxes on Bitcoin transactions. $60 a month, that's what that sells for. Takes five months to develop. With the right developers of Upwork, maybe a $10,000 budget would develop that. Oh, what's Upwork? Upwork is a platform to reach developers, coders, programmers, to create software for you as well. In the Grow youw Life community, there's a lot of service providers in there that you can even connect with as well that do things. We're also creating more resources for people to connect with things. I frequently give referrals to people that do Facebook ads for people. I do it on a more enterprise scale. I have people I refer to for more. The lower end scale. But in this you can either become. You can refer business to people through the Internet by being a connector. That's where the connector part comes in. See, you know, and right now I refer business. I don't Even take a commission for it. I just do it. Maybe in the future I will create a commission model for that. That. So the Internet affords you the opportunity to create an app. And then the multiplied by the thousands or millions of people that use your app is your impact for the efforts that you're making here. And it spreads from there. You can, you can inform people, you can connect, you can connect other people. You can create your own information and sell it. So that's where books, speakers, authors, you know, you can, you could create a tool that connects other people. That's what Amazon is, that's what Facebook is. So I'm going into the different ways to do that, but one of the easiest ways that people can make money on the Internet, if they're just starting out. So a lot of people get confused by all the different ways to make money. And your way is unique to you, wherever you are right now. So I want you to take a real self evaluation. Where am I? How much money am I making? What am I doing? What have I done before? What hasn't worked? Why hasn't it worked? Is it because it was failed or did I not know how to do it the right way? Possibly nine times out of ten, if you see somebody else that is successful with it and you're not having success, the problem lies with you. Not what you did, but how you did it. Okay? And learning and growing in knowledge and wisdom and understanding. And that's why this podcast exists, is to help people do that. So wherever you're starting from, you can then share your knowledge. You can connect with people. You can become a consultant, become an expert in your industry. You have to show your face to people. You have to not hide behind the anonymity of the Internet. Let people know there's a real person behind it. Connect with you on a real personal to personal level. Put your face up front. In the future, you'll, you will have products if you're not a household name on the level of Apple, Coca Cola, Squarespace, Uber, or Doordash or Nike. Leading with your company brand is going to be detrimental to you. If you have less than 20 employees, leading with your company brand is going to be detrimental to you. You want to, you could create a brand. You know, I've seen people do this one guy that comes to mind, you know, he sells courses, so he has his brand about courses, but then you know it's him behind it. It's not this ethereal alien race of geniuses that are behind the scenes doing everything people like to Connect with other people. There's so many scams out there that people can connect with you and they're certain about you and your legitimacy, then they will then connect and want to buy from you, especially if you can then show that you know what you're talking about, that you provide value and results for people. You get them results, then they will be willing to exchange money with you. And that dives into all the training that I talk about about sales. I did a. I did a video, a podcast. My second podcast actually, was on this, about how to sell anything with the words that you say. And now might be a good time for you to go back and listen to that again. Episode number two. So the words that you say then connect people to know that you're legitimate. Your website connects people. So you take your skill, your knowledge, and your understanding, you hone it into, what am I? What can I be the best in the world at? What am I the best at? What do people come to me? And I know, okay, so here's part of that. Sometimes we have shame, fear. We've had people tell us certain things. We're like, okay, well, I'm not the best at this because so and so is. But you know that you're pretty good at it. People come to you all the time. What do they come to you and ask for your help with? What is that thing? You can build a business around that to start, because that's the quickest one that you can scale and whatever that is. It's not just about creating courses. It's about. It's not just about creating information products. It's not just about podcasting. It could be manufacturing a product and then learning how to communicate over video of why people need to buy those products. You know, like the. The. The purple mattress. That's a product. It's a mattress. But they created such great communication to help you experience what it's like to own that mattress, that people bought it. You can help connect with people on the Internet to experience whatever it is that you offer. This is how you make money on the Internet. You connect with other human beings using the digital realm, treating it as if it's the same as real life, the same as the world that we're in right now. Okay? And then connect with people where they're at with the messaging that they respond to to help them experience what it's like to engage with you, to be your customer, to hire you, to buy from you before they ever make a direct connection with you, to purchase. And you can automate that process and walk them through that process. That's how you can make money on the Internet. Whatever you're doing, whatever you do now. So you could take whatever you're doing as an employee, start to build a brand, a business. You could start to do it as a service, as a consultant, as a vendor to your industry. And then when you get really good at that. So this is where I see a lot of people, they skip the first step. They're not even good at that, at getting customers, at communicating, at branching out of going from being an employee to a business owner. And now they're trying to use the Internet to get results. That's where you were skipping steps. You can't skip steps. So go listen to the podcast where I talk about how to make a hundred. How anybody can make a hundred thousand dollars doing what they're already doing. That's podcast episode number 13. That will give you the blueprint to have how to go from an employee to a business owner. You need to do that before you then apply the Internet to it. Okay. Whatever industry you're in. And then you can take the Internet and scale it exponentially. Once you have a model that's working, once something's working, once it's been tested, that's when you then scale. I see a lot of people, they scale before they actually have something that's tested and working because somebody told them that's what they should do. And I think that's hurting people. It's not helping anybody. I'm here to say you can't skip steps in the process, but you can definitely grow and learn the process on your own. And so anybody can make money on the Internet, no matter where they are, no matter what level they're at. Now, if you have a proven something that you can make money with, something that's bringing in something you went from an employee, you now have a business, you're doing a service, or you've grown in skill, you've done something, you can learn a new skill. For example, you could learn how to build professional websites that get results for businesses and charge 5,000 to $10,000 to do so with a new skill that you learn. You say, well, how do I learn that skill? The Website Building Made Easy course that I created teaches that skill. And you could start a business building websites for people with a new skill set. And that's one of my goals, is to help people not only learn how to apply it to their businesses, but also other businesses, as if they wanted to start an agency doing services for people. And that course can help you do that as well, can help you learn a new skill set about website building to then start a business doing so you don't have to, but that's one way that you can. And I'm going to continue all of my courses that I make are going to have a side of that that you can do what I'm teaching with other businesses and actually offer it as a service to create your own business. That way it applies to an existing business or you can start one doing it as a service based business. And so once you learn a new skill, once you leave being an employee, once you're starting out, once you've proven, okay, I have a model that's making money, Network marketing is a great way to do that because they already have a proven product, a service, something like that. And then all you have to do is you have to get really good at how can I reach more people with this? You get really good at doing that and that can be done through the Internet. But you have to grow in your people skills. You have to grow in your communication. You have to grow in the language, the words that you're using. So often we use language that people can't even connect with that we're then missing out on helping our potential customer before they ever become one. So you have to lead with the needs and desires of what other people need. And if you're somebody that is leaving a job, you just started a business and you're not getting customers, or you have a stagnant business that's not getting more customers, I can directly connect it to your communication and your systems. So communication first and then systems. I don't know why the world teaches people to do everything in reverse order. There's a way that works and there's a way that doesn't. And yet so often most gurus that teach people how to build a business do so in the wrong order. You need to first learn how to communicate with people and then you can build a system. A lot of times people build a system with bad communication and they say the system's broken. It all boils down to communication. So if you're somebody that needs to scale or grow your business, your communication is the number one place that you need to look at. How are you communicating with your customers? If your communications on point, then you're probably growing hand over foot every single month. That's where then we can use systems to then scale that even more. That creates more jobs. When you use a system that scales a Business, you then actually create more jobs than you eliminate. You might eliminate three on the front end, but you just created 20 on the back end because of the revenue that came in in the places that you really need it. And, and, and that's what, that's what I love helping businesses do, is I love helping them scale. Like, we're okay, we're stuck at $10 million, we need to get to 30 million. I can help people do that. That's what I help people do. That's what I help consult businesses to do. But if you're just starting out, you need to learn how to communicate your skill set. What you do, you need to learn new skill sets as well. You don't know what you don't know. And that's what I talked about in that podcast episode number 13, how anybody can go from employee to making $100,000. Growing in skill set. And this podcast is teaching you possibilities. But you still need to grow in the skill set. You need to learn how to then communicate what you offer, what you do, communicate it clearly, get your first customer. And then you can use a system on the Internet to then scale and get more people in. Because now you got a proven system. For example, let's say you're like, okay, if I can get them on the phone, at least I can close them on my services. Then you need to figure out how to get more people on the phone. You could do so with social media, with advertising, with YouTube, with Google Ads, with Twitter. Advertising allows you to reach everybody in the world, everybody on planet earth right now that has money at least is connected through the Internet or knows somebody that is. And now more third world countries are starting to come up. You know, we got Facebook's Libra currency that they launched. That's going to open up more possibility to commerce in third world countries. That's what I'm saying, you guys. Most of the world isn't even connected the way we are, and they're about to be. And so in this, anybody can learn to make money on the Internet, grow, get results. No matter where they're starting. Once you prove you have something that works, that you can sell it, gets results, you can learn how to then communicate it. This is where also a lot of people get tripped up with network marketing is they don't know how to communicate, how to get new customers, and then they try to bring it on the Internet and the lack of communication directly translates to a lack of results on the Internet. It's not the system that's broken, it's how you're using it and how you're using it directly correlates to how you're communicating what you offer to people. So get that really clear. That's where you need to when you start your business, whatever it is, get that really clear, and you can just use the Internet as simple as WhatsApp, Facebook messenger, Facebook groups, just to reach new people, test stuff out, join mentorship communities. We have our grow your life community as well, where you can connect with more people. It's on Facebook that are growing in their life and in their business. And then when you start to get proven results, you start to prove your results. You start to prove your hypothesis. This is how science works. You prove a theory. You can't call it a theory until a hypothesis is proven. Then you can start to use systems on the Internet to get more customers. So let's say you have that brick and mortar company, or you're selling automotive parts, or you're selling flooring, or you're selling antiques. Now, once you've proven that you can take the Internet to scale to reach more people to buy whatever it is you're offering, and you meet them right where they're at and duplicate the experience of your communication. So you have to take your whatever way you communicated to get your customers. You then have to scale that and have the identical feeling between you and your customer using your Internet marketing to where you can then connect with people where they're at to then walk them down a path to experience what it's like to be your customer, to then either pick up the phone, fill out a form to talk to you more, or purchase directly from you. And that's all that funnels are. That's all that Internet marketing is. That's all that sales is. That's all that it is. You guys. Like, it's so simple, and yet people complicate and over complicate what it takes to make money on the Internet to further fill their own pockets. And I'm here to say that you've been. That you've been sold a lie, that you've been sold a bill of goods, that it's actually not that complicated. The reason why a lot of people are scams is they try to keep it like it's complicated to people to then keep you paying more money to them. Okay? So I want you to realize making money on the Internet is very easy, very simple. Once you get your communication down, you prove something, you can sell it. You've proven it. You've proven it through messenger with Your warm contacts. Now, how do we get better at our cold marketing? How do we get better at our communication? How do we walk people down a path to learn about us? How do we reach people that have never heard of our name? They don't know who we are. That's why I say you can't lead with a brand name if nobody knows who you are. You need to lead with who you are. First person, human face. Your face connects with people. You communicate what you're offering. You then systematize it with a website, with sales funnels, with email marketing, with an email list, with videos, with live video, with pre recorded video, with promotional videos, with podcasts, with advertising, with Facebook groups and create a system that supports what you're offering to people. And if you do that, then you can scale, you can scale infinitely once. Then you have a proven. Once your system is proven. This is where people out of them make mistakes. They put a lot of money in advertising before they've proven their system and they say the ads don't work. And if your ads aren't working, I did a blog post on this, why your Facebook ads aren't working. I will post the link in the description of this podcast on my website. It's also on my blog, why your Facebook ads aren't working. And then I have video trainings on my podcast and on there on that link there's three other videos that talk about using, using ads and actually getting results. You have to prove your system. Once you've proven your communication, you have to then prove your system and then you can start to test scale it. If the test scale doesn't work, by the way, you know, it probably won't the first time, then you need to go back to the drawing board, look at what part of the system. Where was a disconnect, where did I disconnect my communication, how personable I was with people, where was there, where was, where did they get confused on that process? Where was I using words that maybe confused them unintentionally? How did I accidentally turn them off to what I'm offering by the words that I'm saying or the imagery or the layout or is it confusing? These are all things you need to be aware of now. And now this goes into scaling your business online. And this is the next level right here. And this is how then anybody can grow to seven figures on the Internet is once you then get that working, your system is working. It's all streamlined. There's no bottlenecks in the process. Start to finish the Starting point is somebody not even knowing who you are, your name. And the ending point is them being becoming a repeat customer. Not just one time repeat and engaging in all the different platforms you offer. And if you can automate that process of moving them along that path, you're then helping serve them to their goals. Because right here as a repeat customer is them reaching their goals and here is them finding out about you. And if you can help other people reach their goals and you make serving other people your main goal a better above making money on the Internet. And all of your communication, all of everything that you do comes from that place. You can get greater results than you ever thought were possible using the Internet. Learning how to leverage communication technology. Low priced systems like Squarespace, which is $19 a month, gives you a whole professional website that works on any platform. It's cheaper than anything else that's out there. You don't need any technical expertise. If you can use Microsoft Word, you can build a website on Squarespace. You can check out my Squarespace course on my website. I found the biggest problem was people either didn't know how to make a website that worked or their website was turning people off right away. Their website didn't function like the rest of the Internet. And so that's why I made that course. Website Building made easy is to help people get results. And there's a Facebook community where you can ask me questions and I'm adding new content. I just added four new lessons on building landing pages that get that sell that get results, building pricing tables, connecting a membership site to it, using ActiveCampaign with Zapiers Easy to use systems. All of that is covered in there. There's over 11 hours of training, 150 page workbook and the Facebook group you get lifetime access to. You could learn skills and start a service based business doing this for other people and utilize myself and my team to help get results for your clients. It's a business right there. Or you can apply it to your business or you can buy it for an employee in your company or you could buy it for an intern, have an intern go through it. Once they learn it get you results, then they can, you know their paycheck goes up. This is all ways that you could use that course to get results for yourself. And I've distilled all of my knowledge over the last 15 years of what works and what doesn't with website building into that course so that you don't have to do the guesswork, you don't have to spend Thousands of hours and 15 years figuring it out. The course tells it all for you. You apply it, and it works. And you can ask questions of where you get confused on. And it's growing over time with more people. Listen, you guys, making money on the Internet is not hard, but you've been sold this idea that it's hard. I'm here to tell you that it's a lot easier than you think it is. Anybody can do it, no matter what starting point they're at. And when you get your communication, which is also called copywriting, honed in, you learn to communicate through video, through social media, through advertising. You get your systems working. You can scale anything to seven figures, eight figures, whatever. I believe that I can help anybody scale to that level. That's what I've done before. It's what I do with my consulting clients right now. But I want you to realize it starts with just taking the first step and choosing whether you're an employee. Can I step out? And that's why I did that podcast episode number 13. How anybody can make $100,000 on the Internet. How anybody can choose to no longer be a 9 to 5 employee in a job they hate and to just transition, doing the exact same thing they're doing, make 10 times more. You do that by. So you have one boss in your job. You just get six bosses as a consultant and then scale from there and build from there and then hire a team, get new customers through the Internet, through campaigns, through advertising, communication, copywriting. And I really, I really, I really think my next course I'm gonna make might is gonna be on more of what I mean by communication, copywriting, all of that. But if you're somebody who wants to get results, you're just starting out, you're an employee, you're in a job you hate. I believe that you can go from that to making $100,000 to making a million dollars. It's possible. It's possible for anybody. It's possible if you do the right things, you make the right choices. You follow the videos that I'm doing, you watch them. I'm not guaranteeing any results. I can't guarantee what you will do at all. I can't guarantee your results based on your actions or decisions. But I can say this, that what I talk about comes from my experience, and it works. But I do guarantee that it will help you grow from where you are now to where you want to be. And that's my promise to you, is to share with you all of that, to create A system that works. There's nothing like this that I think exists on the planet right now that helps people on this level for free. And I. It's going to grow into something even bigger over time. You know, maybe it might. We'll have to add a paid part of it as we get more people. $7 a month, $20 a month, maybe $50 a month for the higher level type of a thing. Okay. But in that I believe anybody can go from where they are now to making six figures to making seven figures. I can't guarantee you will. There are no guarantees. In fact, you might even lose money. You might lose money doing that. But I'm sharing from my experience to help you walk down a path of what I know works. And the Internet is the fastest way to do that. If you can learn how to communicate properly, you prove that you can get results. You can deliver results to people. You prove the legitimacy of you, your product, your service, your company. You communicate, you learn how to sell. You learn how to build a system that works. You scale it, you learn how to advertise. If you learn these new skills, you can make money on the Internet. And that's what I share with, with people in my podcast, in my upcoming courses, in my videos. Every day that I do on Facebook is how to do this, how to get results online. And it starts with just having a website. So if this encourage you, share this with somebody. I'd say share it with your competitors. Create some healthy competition between the two of you. Bring them into the Grow your Life community. It's called iron sharpening iron. Two people helping each other grow further. You know, get an accountability partner. Somebody to help you be accountable in listening to these podcasts. Somebody to help you be accountable. Joining the Grow youw Life community.

And if you want to get more information about coaching with me, Consulting Services, that's on my website under the hire me tab or my website building courses on there. All my past podcast episodes, my blog posts, they're all@jeremiah krakowski.com I believe that anybody can reach their goals no matter where they're starting at right now. But it all takes a choice on their own. That's why I can't guarantee anything, because I can't control your choices. I can't control your decisions. I can help show you from my experience how to go from where you are now to where you want to be. From what I understand, what I know what's worked for me and help you with that. But the choice is up to you to make a decision that I'm no longer going to live my life the way it's been up to this point, that I'm no longer going to keep doing the same old things that haven't worked. Instead, I'm going to look at a new way to do things. It's going to get better results. And that's what the Grow youw Life podcast is. That's what the Grow youw Life community is. That's what these videos on my Facebook page are for. If you engage with them, if you stick with them, you will learn what works and what doesn't. And if you make decisions, actions, and apply it, you'll learn what works and what doesn't. That gets results. I believe in you. I know that you can do this. If you have any questions. This is kind of an introduction to making money on the Internet for anybody that wants to. I'm going to go further into more of these topics. There's like, there's hundreds of hours I can talk about on this topic alone. This is the. The baseline of it. But I know that it all starts with a choice, a decision to take action and to stay consistent. Without consistency, without discipline, without focus, can't accomplish anything. That's what I talked about in my last episode of the podcast. How to cultivate unstoppable discipline and focus in your business and get results. If you don't have that, the rest doesn't work. But if you have that, you can accomplish the impossible. Unlimited impossibilities, limitless possibilities are available for you. Everybody has limitless potential inside them. But it's all about consistency, discipline, focus, going to work and taking action. That gets results. The rest of it helps prepare us for that, helps build us up. Wisdom, knowledge, understanding. But it's all then about taking action. You can dream big, and I recommend dreaming huge. I say dream delusionally big and then bring it down. What's step one? Where do I need to start at? Being self aware where you are right now. Being self aware of where you are right now and looking at deep inside of you. What can I do? What decisions do I need to make? What do I want to do? What are my goals? Where am I at right now? What's working? What's not? What have I tried? What didn't work? Did it work, not work because I didn't do it right? Or I didn't know how to do it? Or did it work because it was broken. Most of the, the times it's not because it's broken, it's because the method, you just didn't have the understanding of how to do that. And if you can do this and you can take this and apply it on the Internet, get your communication right, prove what you have to offer, scale up your system, reach more people with, with advertising, with social media, with the words that you say, the words that draw people in, not turn them off immediately. You could. That's how you build a seven figure business right there. That's how you do it in any industry, using the Internet. So I'm going to help people through what they need help with growing in their business, in their life. But using the Internet to do that, that's where I have expertise in. If you have any questions on what your next step is, where you are, where you're stuck, where you, you're maybe having a disconnect with what I'm sharing, send me a message, leave a comment, leave a comment on my blog, whatever, let me know. I want to help you post it in the Grow youw Life community and more people can help you. There's no nothing to be embarrassed about. I want to help people grow from where they are to where they want to be. But it starts by having communication, talking back and forth, forth.
