How 10 of My Friends Built $10k+ a Month Businesses From Nothing 🚀

Many of y’all look at what me/my friends do and want it. That is good and healthy 😎

We are an interesting bunch, and I wouldn’t have it any other way 🦄

I’ve bashed out this list of legends to show how anyone can get good enough at something to earn $10k a month and beyond from it:

1) Get really f*****g good at Facebook ads like Jeremy Haynes, who quickly got big clients like Grant Cardone despite being 20 years old.

Like most smart people, he used that skill (fb ads) to then create other streams of revenue like coaching, making info products, and putting on masterminds (remember that

Hollywood hills houseparty and yacht thing- that was his event which I paid to be on — like I always say, if you want to be “in someone’s world” easiest way is to pay for it)

2) Create a network of pages/accounts with large social reach and/or a network of influencers, and use that to create multiple businesses, like Gretta Rose van Riel did.

As in all the examples, once you have a secret sauce you can do many different things with it :)

3) Create an agency where the entire team is outsourced for others to do the work, like Andrew Medal did, on his release from prison (!).

This requires brutally tight standard operating procedures, but allows you to take on tonnes of clients.

He scaled out of “him doing the work” to “others doing the work” quickly and fluently- great model for many of y’all reading this

4) Sit in your damn bedroom and learn social media growth hacking like Justin Wu did, (and almost all the best growth hackers I know) and scale that shit UP.

When I had 300 twitter accounts he had over 1500.

Guess who made more money? Scale is everything.

5) Create an online community while putting on a tonne of real life events like Josh Fechter did.

The great thing about building a content marketing empire is you have such good will from so many people that you have opportunities everywhere.

Very few have grown a Facebook group the right way, it is hard work, but josh (and me, this has pretty much been my strategy this past year) will have businesses and contacts coming to us for years

6) Create an outrageous personal brand like Gallant Dill and just go all out on the three fastest growing job areas on Facebook: coaching, consulting, selling.

With a personal back story that makes mine look like cushty (prison, homelessness, Fights, the lot) he’s one of my favourite internet marketers.

Why?

Unlike the “gooroos” who don’t have the balls to say what they really mean and say crap like “live your purpose” and “follow your passion”, Gallant is straight up about his own wants (and yours) as a money grabbing flex.

What you see is what you get.

For me, that’s honesty.

The only reason I can fly around the world and live my Hollywood life is the money I make, and it’s also the reason I have time to give back to you all through these posts.

Money does buy freedom: make it in the quickest way you can.

From there you have time and brain space to do your bit to make the world a better place in a meaningful way which can affect thousands if not millions.

7) Have to shout my mentor Dan Meredith here.

He wanted to start a gym so he accumulated something like 10 credit cards and maxed them all out as a down payment.

Scary as fuck (I would never do this!!) it also meant many days he had to decide “food or fuel” did he walk to work and have money for food, or drive and have no money to eat?

Every night he went to the store at midnight just as they were heavily discounting food they were about to throw away and he would buy it all.

He then did multiple other businesses, but that’s where it started. Now he buys jetski’s!

8) Justin Devonshire has an internet marketing/personal brand “front end” which supports a lucrative agency back end. (I.e. Gives a lot of cool info away for free, then privately teaches those who want more, then can actually DO the work for people if they want too).

If I wasn’t chasing Hollywood I’d probably do something similar, great model

9) My TAC co-founder Charlie Price went from having £0.01 in his bank account to gigantic clients doing just two things:

1) learning how to write well, and

2) learning how to cold email

Process, process, process. Success is just showing up, and getting 1% better each day.

10) Connor McCreesh — Dangerously close to being my favourite person I’ve ever mentored, like Justin, learned growth hacking by sitting in his bedroom and trying shit out.

No reading blogs, no networking, just grinding and iterating.

He finds content that gets high engagement, puts it on his Instagram page, and has a link on his bio leading to an info product, and makes bags of ca$h.

Encouraged by those results, he then went away and worked out Pinterest (again, on his own) and is doing even better on that. Like everyone else on this list, he is using that baseline to work on new things.

Notice the things everyone on this list have in common?

- Had no contacts or budgets to do things at the start, just hustle

- Put in serious hours learning then doing

- Got great at just ONE thing then moved into others

- Found a secret sauce that they then used across other

projects (e.g Dan Meredith with copywriting, Gretta with the ig accounts and influencers)

Now, how are YOU gonna do it? comment below.
