Chances are your personality and experiences WILL appeal to someone

My theory is quite simple, anyone can make money online if one is disciplined.

I’m not going to sit here and pretend I’ve made a ton of money online.

As a matter of fact, I have made a grand total of $0.00 online as of today November 18, 2020. Having said this, and after consuming hours of content and listening to people who make a living out of creating, I came to the conclusion that anyone can make money online if the work is adequate and if one continues to show up.

Ways to make make money online

There are an insane number of ways to make a living out of the internet, you just have to figure out which one suits you the most. Video creation, writing, freelancing, advertisements, podcasts, e-commerce, etc. Each of these also has different ways of monetizing. Sponsors, merchandise (apparel, accessories, etc), advertisements, courses, subscriptions, you name it.

Almost anything online can be monetized, and that is what fuels my theory of anyone being capable to make money online. The difficult part is actually starting and finding the correct one.

How I think it can be done

1. Choose 1 or 2 platforms and focus on that

In my opinion it’s best to focus on one platform and go all in on that. If we choose too many platforms we could be inefficient and it could take a lot longer for results to take place. If one does NOT like the platform, it’s crucial to switch into one that we actually enjoy.

2. Everyday put some work in (whether its one hour or 8)

This is probably the toughest one because there will definitely be days when we won’t want to work and to sit in front of a computer. It’s completely normal and that happens in absolutely every profession, however, putting the work in during those days is what counts and what truly makes a difference between someone who succeeds and someone who doesn’t! So put the work in every single day, and learn how to balance life with work.

3. Improve every single day

Every single successful youtuber or writer has improved drastically from the moment they began to where they are now. The first videos or articles are going to be terrible most likely. If we find ways to improve just a little bit every single time, over the long run we’ll have improved a lot, and that makes a world of difference as well. Ask yourself, how can I improve my content today?

4. Adapt & change

In life there are only a few things that are certain, change being one of them. Civilization changes and we change, so adapt to the current environment and take advantage of the opportunities that we have today! If something isn’t working, be quick in making decisions and adopting change, only that way will you be able to improve. Those who refuse to change with time and to improve will always stay behind.

5. Create a Schedule

Have days during the weeks where it’s non negotiable to post or to update, and make yourself accountable for such actions. I’ve seen that the best youtubers have days where they publish their content and it creates expectations from their audience. It’s crucial to have a set publishing day and time in order to simply put the work out as we progress during the week!

My Strategy moving forward

This is my experiment

My goal is to make a living online by mid 2021. Personally I enjoy speaking with others and I like to write, so the 2 platforms I chose to create content are Medium and YouTube.

In these two platforms I will be creating content on topics I enjoy, and if the quality and value provided to viewers and readers is positive, results will follow.

On top of this my schedule will consist of publishing three articles a week on Medium: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

YouTube will be three times per week as well: Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

The posting of content and constant improvement of oneself definitely leads to achieving the goals we have.

It’s not easy, but at the same time it’s not difficult if you enjoy to work.

Never in history

Never in history has there been as much opportunity to do what we love and what we enjoy the most as there is today. There are thousands of people who already are taking action and live their dream life.

Why can’t you?

Start today.
