Anyway, as i said, most of those graduates (about 2 million every year) will be looking to supplement their incomes when they don’t get the job they expect.
That’s a seriously good and evergreen target market.
These people are technology aware, they all have computers and mobile phones, and they all have keyboard skills.
What can you offer them?
Where do you find them – Facebook, X, Instagram, Pinterest, etc. – where else would you expect to find them?
None of them are SEO optimised, none of them have any paid traffic going to them, none of them have hundreds of links going to them, and none of them are getting content added regularly.
Honestly, they are all just experimental and a bit rubbish.
My next project, after the Auto-Blogging one, will be to add monetisation to those websites.
That seems to be a project for the Christmas – New year break.
What this proves is that you don’t need to be flashy, or noisy.
You just have to do more than I have, which shouldn’t be hard, and do it consistently.
When your site gets to the level of visitors these have, getting $0.01 per visitor equates to $1,600 every month.
Getting $0.01 per visitor is easy. It’s not much harder to get 100 times more than that.
Isn’t that worth a little of your time and money?
Are you prepared to leave $20,000 on the table every year for doing almost nothing?
“Consistent mediocrity gets you further than rare flashes of genius.”
I have no idea who said that, but it’s true.
Look at the YouTube channels that are making money, or the TikTok accounts, even the influencers on any platform.
Most of them are not geniuses of any sort, but they are there posting something every day.
Go back in their accounts and look at their first attempts, yes, they may have thousands of view on those now, but I bet they didn’t for perhaps the first 20 or 30 times they posted.
If you want to make a million bucks in a year, let’s just break it down properly.
A million divided by twelve months is $83,333 per month.
That divided by thirty days is $2,777 per day.
Now, there are a few ways to hit that number:
Sell eighteen products at $150 each per day.
Get eleven new subscribers at $25 per month every single day.
Land one $5,000 client every other day.
Or some combination of those.
There you go, simples.
OK, let’s look at the realities of that maths.
Let’s assume that you’re an expert at conversion.
Let’s assume that you convert 10% of the people who show up on your sales page, and that your offer is a no brainer.
To get eleven new subscribers means you need to get 110 new warm prospects on that page every day. To get eighteen sales you’ll need 180 new warm prospects every day. The reality is that you’re more likely to convert at around 1% so multiply those warm visitor numbers by 10.
Of course you can, but it might take a bit of work.
Where are you going to get those warm prospects from?
YouTube or TikTok are probably your best bets, but it might take a few months to get sufficient traction to get enough views to get the click through.
You’ll probably need to be getting 11,000 to 20,000 daily views to get sufficient click throughs to get that volume of traffic on your page to make those sales.
Can you make at least one new video every day to post to YT and TT?
Sure, AI can help with that.
There’s your plan for the next 6 – 12 months.
The only thing that’s hard about that is sticking to the plan when it doesn’t look like it’s working.
These are the stated aims of most Internet marketers.
While both of these are achievable in the long-term, there is considerable work that needs to be done in the short term.
Most people are not prepared to do the work, despite their claim to aspire to those goals.
You can achieve these with books, videos, blogs, and software, but you are highly unlikely to achieve them with one book, one video, one blog post, or one piece of software.
Yes, it has been done with a single entity of any of those, but that is an extreme outlier, and often doesn’t result in passive income, just more work.
However, with the advent of AI tools and the automation that brings, almost passive income and almost free traffic is definitely possible.
When you only have to work an hour or so a week to maintain your income and traffic that qualifies as almost passive income.
The question is, would you put in the initial hours of work to set up a system like this? I know I would, and do, but I can’t vouch for you.
Are you really committed to your long-term passive income?
When whatever plans you make are thwarted by circumstances.
Yes, I did say in the last email that I expected the doors to be open today, but I had forgotten about the birthday party yesterday that took all day. I forgot about the pre-Christmas get-together planned for today that needed preparation to be done in time.
