Over the past few weeks, I've been fairly quiet here, but I've been looking at ways to contribute more - as this forum was what set a fire in my to work for myself, to quit my job, and to travel more.
The purpose of this datasheet is to show you the business models that I've used, and that I'm currently using to generate upwards of 5/6 figures a month completely online, from my laptop.
It will be a datasheet, as well as me documenting my continual journey on the three business models that I will list below. Making money online isn't really that hard - but where most people go wrong, is that they fail to specialize, and more importantly, they sell their time for money (a big no-no).
Frank Kern, an online marketing legend, says that you need to focus on three skills - then try these skills on one client, create a process & then outsource. You can hit $200,000 a year no problem with one skill - but without outsourcing, you'll never get above it.
The advice I give, and the business models I use are easy to learn, easy to implement, and easy to outsource, but you have to dedicate yourself, and really focus on the skills required to implement these business models - Online advertising (FB, Insta, and to a lesser degree Youtube), Creating a marketing funnel (Clickfunnels, leadpages etc) and Copywriting (a basic level is required).
Below are the business models I'm currently utilizing.
I. Print-on-demand (POD)
II. SMM (Social Media Marketing + Service Selling) Outsourced
III. SaaS (Software as a service) - more capital intensive, and step 3 of my plan
This will be a short initial post, but I will expand on each in subsequent posts. The point of this post is to get you thinking about the business models listed - and to do your own research, with me answering any questions you may have.
I. POD
If you've read my older articles relating to money, you'll notice that I was heavy into dropshipping. While it still is a viable model, POD is far superior, and generating me massive returns.
What's POD?
POD is print-on-demand. Have a design idea? Are you familiar with a niche? Then this is perfect for you. POD is when you get something printer on anything from a t-shirt, to a coffee mug. You can create a website that is for one specific niche, or create a website that is more general, and features numerous niches.
What is required?
POD requires a few things.
You need to have an idea, or you can find an idea by researching other t-shirt stores, finding funny quotes, or using whichever niche you already know and have ideas in.
In general, you need:
1. An idea
2. A platform to sell your products (Shopify)
3. A print provider (customcat)
POD is superior to dropshipping for a variety of reasons. Most print providers are in the United States - so shipping time is low, and quality is high. Additionally, it's your own brand - you're not importing crappy products from China (although again, this is still a viable business model).
This business model is easy to set up. Once you have an idea, you can contact a designer on upwork, or another freelancing site, have them whip up some designs, plaster them on a t-shirt and start selling.
You can outsource very easily, as well.
II. SMM
Social media marketing (or service-selling) is my bread and butter right now, and consistently brings in over 5-figures in revenue alone (revenue, not profit). This business model is where you manage the lead generation for a business, preferably a service-selling business. A real estate agents needs leads - using Facebook ads, you generate him/her leads. In return, they pay you either by commission (or my preferred method, a monthly retainer).
It's also a super easy business model to get into. You simply need to understand Facebook ads, and how to build a basic marketing funnel (ad -> landing page).
It's important that for this business model, you specialize though. For example, real estate agents. You would position yourself as an expert within that niche, and market your services to real estate agents.
What is required?
1. An understanding of Facebook ads + funnels
2. A Facebook page (for your brand)
3. A system to attract leads (your niche)
You can get your clients from good old fashioned cold-calling, or launching a Facebook ad targeting your desired niche.
You'll need a calendar booking application as well, in order to schedule meetings with your prospects.
Once you have a client, you can replicate the same process that you used to find your client, to find them clients as well - as you can see, it's a super easy process that can be outsourced eventually.
My process:
1. Create a FB Page (Attracting Wealthy Clients For Realtors, as an example)
2. Set up a leadpage which describes what you can do for your clients, how they can benefit + set up a calendar app
3. Launch a Facebook ad with targeting to your niche 'realtors'
4. Have prospects book calls
5. Close them
6. Repeat process, but for people looking to buy/sell homes, and with a different landing page (listings etc..)
III. SaaS
This business model is more capital intensive, and I'll expand on it later, but the premise is to have a software created, and licence the use of that software on a subscription basis.
This should be your end goal - and for me, my software is within one of the niches above, so that I know it's useful, and know there's a market for it. This is the big-money business model - we're talking $10,000/days if you market it right.
Depending on what software you want, you'll be looking at $20,000 - $30,000 as an initial investment. My team for my own SaaS is based in Ukraine, and I would recommend using Ukrainian developers.
If anyone is serious about SaaS, send me a PM, but I will answer most questions here![[Image: smile.gif]](https://rooshvforum.network/images/smilies/smile.gif)
