William Brown breaks down a six-step system to build a one-person knowledge business earning $5,000 a month: identify your expertise, get attention through social media and outreach, use a video sales letter to book calls, charge $3,000 minimum based on client value, close deals with a structured framework, and deliver via course or coaching. He shows the math: message 100 people, get 4 calls, close 1 sale.
