Secrets to Your First $100,000 Online

Happy Wednesday, my friends! ☕

I've slightly altered my writing style in today's edition, hoping that you'll enjoy this four-minute read even more than usual.

That being said, let's discuss the journey to $100,000.

This isn't a sprint by any stretch of the imagination.

It's more akin to a marathon, and like any race, it begins with a single step.

Let's start building: ⬇️

1. Carve Your Unique Path in the Digital Forest: 

Do you understand what distinguishes you from the thousands, or even millions, of others in your field?

It's your Unique Value Proposition (UVP).

You might be wondering, "what exactly is that?"

Imagine this: You're passionate about sustainable living and decide to establish an online store for eco-friendly products.

Your UVP might be the provision of a subscription box service dedicated to sustainable living.

That's unique. It's different. It's unlike any other offering available at the time.

This distinctiveness is what sets you apart from everyone else.

2. Be the Master of Your Time:

If you're someone managing a full-time job, running a start-up, and striving to maintain a personal life, you're likely aware of the critical importance of time management.

If this resonates with you, the moment to get organized is now.

Here are five strategies I employ:

1. Content Calendar: This tool helps you plan and organize your content.

2. Content Batching: With this technique, you create a large amount of content all at once.

3. Create Content Queues: This allows you to schedule content weeks in advance.

4. Get Good Sleep: Aim for 7-8 hours per day.

5. Stay Physically Healthy: Prioritize drinking water, eating healthy foods, limiting desserts, and reducing alcohol intake.

I find that when I feel good, I perform better.

Remember, time is a resource you can't regain, so why squander it?

3. Draw Your Business Roadmap:

I'm consistently a happy person.

While excitement is crucial, without a strategic plan, you're like a ship without a compass.

Consider my business roadmap:

1. Clear Target Audience

2. Marketing Strategy

3. Revenue Model

4. Proper Sales Funnels

5. Growth Plans

6. Attainable Goals

On your journey towards earning $100,000, your goal shouldn't merely be to hit that revenue mark.

Instead, strive to help one individual in your niche every single day.

By doing so, you'll reach this grand objective much more swiftly.

If your audience comprises young urban professionals and you opt to employ social media marketing for your online store, you clearly understand the task at hand.

Question: What time management tools are you using currently to take your business roadmap to the next level?

I have discussions in my Discord every day. I help other entrepreneurs with their questions, new product offers, and building their brand.

4. Decode Your Business Metrics: 

In 2017, my friend Anna managed an online vintage clothing store.

Initially, she faced several challenges, including high advertising costs and sluggish sales.

However, she was able to overcome these obstacles.

You know what she did?

She monitored her business metrics and redirected her focus to the appropriate customer demographic.

Allow your metrics and analytics to steer your online decisions.

They keep you aligned with your goals, informing you about what's effective and what's not.

5. Persistence and Resilience are Your Superpowers: 

Every successful entrepreneur I've conversed with in the past has shared three traits:

1. Persistence

2. Resilience

3. Consistency

Sh*t happens all the time, even events beyond your control.

However, every setback presents an opportunity to grow and fortify your relationship with customers.

6. Customer Feedback | Your North Star:

Let's take a trip back to 2018.

I worked with a woman who had launched a gourmet pet food subscription service.

Despite her efforts, her sales were extremely slow and she had no idea why.

I presented to her a survey form that I had designed for a one-on-one consulting program for streamers, which I was managing at the time.

This form was intended to gather customer feedback, helping us understand what they appreciated and what they thought needed improvement.

Fast forward seven weeks and she had managed to multiply her sales by twenty times.

The secret to her success?

She introduced more customizable options for different pets, an idea she got from the survey form.

So, always seek feedback, listen, and then implement.

So, where’s my $100,000?

The point I’m making here is that it’s a process.

Instead, follow this:

• Find your unique value

• Devise a business plan

• Remain resilient in the face of setbacks

Until next time, stay ambitions, stay driven.
