Five-step framework for building an online business to $10k a monthfrom @briarcochran

Transcript

I had a viral video last week talking about my journey from 3 k to 40 k in, like, sixty days, and I bad three main responses. Number one, I don't believe you. Number two, you're a scammer. Number three, how did you start? I'm just gonna talk about number three because the first two, great. Less competition if you believe that. The detailed plan of how to start making money online. I truly believe you follow this exact framework. You can make 10 k a month. I think 01% of you, point 1% of you will actually do it. That's just tier reality. Almost none of you are gonna do it. Here's the detailed plan. Number one, pick a hard skill that is meant for making money online. People pay for problems being solved. Skills solve problems, and making money online is the easiest way to do it. K? Because you have infinite target audience, infinite niche. The leverage is insane. Here are 10 skills. Copywriting, paid ads, landing page design, video editing, funnel building, email marketing and automations, data analysis and consulting, remote sales, content strategy, which is what I do, and AI workflows. Okay. You have 10. Don't ask me anymore. Pick one and treat it like it is your calling on earth. If you chose video editing, try to become the Michael Jordan of video editing. Make it feel like it's part of who you are. Okay? Like, get surgical about it. That's what I do with content strategy. I try to become obsessed with content strategy. I read read content. I analyze content. I listen to podcasts of content. Okay. Step two. Most people are not gonna do this. Read 10 books and listen to 100 podcasts. 10 books, 100 podcasts. You can do that in less than a month, but you won't. But if you do that, you will be in the top worse. Top 10%. Top 10%. That right there alone will get you up tier. And it's compounding effect. You can't stop and get, like, five books, 30 podcasts because it infinitely goes up and up and up. It curves harder. Okay? Number three, cold outreach. You're going to email or Instagram DM 500 people and ask them to do it for free. Oh my gosh. Free work. That rank to suck. Guess what? It is the shortcut. It is the shortcut. You think that free work is actually gonna slow you down, but it's actually the shortcut. I'm not gonna get into that. If you wanna ask me comments of why it's a shortcut, there's just logical reasoning that goes into it, but for the sake of this. Okay. So that's three things. Number one, we've picked a hard skill. Number two, we have spent two hundred hours learning it. And then number three is we have emailed or DM'd 500 people to do free work. K? Send 10 a day for fifty days. We are now two months into the journey, two and a half months into the journey. Okay? You probably only made a dollar yet. You do the free worse. You spend a month doing the project, and you have to get good results for them. If not, you just do it again. Do it again. It's gonna take two or three times. It took me my fourth my third or fourth, like, free client is where I got my great results. K? After you get great results, you now go DM or email another 500 people, and you do it for a very cheap price. I think that cheap price to me is about a thousand dollars per project. People that have businesses online are willing to pay a thousand dollars for almost anything, depending. You're not gonna write, like, one email for a thousand dollars. Put together a $1,000 package that is extremely over delivered. So, like, maybe a month of emails for a thousand dollars, maybe three landing pages, maybe paid ads for a month and a half. This is where geniuses get are made. Derisk it. Okay? You have to become confident in your skills that you say, if I don't make your money back, you get it for free. If you're even higher level, say, if you don't make your money back, I'll actually pay you a thousand dollars for wasting your time. You will land a client like that. Okay? That's what I did. I said, I will fly to you to get this set up. If we don't make your money back, you will I'll pay you a thousand dollars. Boom. It's they're gonna say yes. Especially because you say, hey. I just did this for somebody else, and I got this results. Derisk the offer. K? Now you make your first thousand dollars online. You get good results again. That's important. You gotta get good results. It's gonna take time. Okay? You gotta do this multiple times. You're not gonna go one client, one client, one client. You have to get good results. You have to maybe get three clients. You might have to do this for two or three months and get that third client to get great results. K? Because you gotta learn through experience as well. Okay? Then once you start stacking these one k clients, they're gonna turn into retainers and be like, hey. I kinda like that. I want it again. I want it again. Once you stabilize this just for a little bit, maybe you're in that 3 to $5 range a month, you go for a whale client. Okay? You try to get the 8 to $12, tier $10 a month month retainer. And because you're out of survival mode, the goal is to get out of survival mode. If I have to pay $5,000 in expenses and I'm making $5 through my online business or maybe $3 through my job and $2 for my online business, I now am not in a rush to try to stop the bleeding. I can go for a whale client. You now email or ask for referrals to another 500 bigger businesses, creators, whatever, and you pitch a very high number, $8. Don't flinch. Okay? People will will believe that you're worth it off $8. And if not, you have to have the confidence to just literally say eat glass, if not. Like, that was something that one of my mentors told me. He said he pitches $10, and they either take it or leave it. He's in a because you are now in a situation where you don't need the money. K? So you have to let your desperation leave, which then ironically makes you more appealing. Okay? Like, right now, I don't work with anybody unless they are a very, very, very specific type of person, and that actually gives me leverage. Right? I have a lot of people no message me and be like, hey. You no, blah blah blah. We worst for this or this. I just said, no. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. And then I find that one person or even reach out because I know that exact type of person I'm looking for. It best my close rate is way higher way higher because I have leverage. Okay. So to recap, we picked rank hard skill. We spent two hour two hundred hours learning that hard skill, practicing that hard skill. We sent 500 cold messages to do it for free. We did it for free, maybe two to three times. We got we finally got good results. We now sent another 500 messages to do it for cheap. A a thousand dollar package is what I mean by cheap. We then got good results. We got out of survival mode, and we started going for big clients. The 8 to $12 rank, and we're not rushing it. We're staying leverage. We do that, and this is where you start to there's there's levels to this. You gotta start learning how to, navigate business relationships, contracts, scaling, repeatable systems, because the last thing you wanna do is truly fail with one of these $10 clients. Even though you're going to, it's gonna happen. You gotta clean it up, do it again, clean it up, do it again. You wanna create a referral system. There's better that go into this, but this is how you make your first $10 online. Very repeatable. I just gave you very tangible numbers. K? Pick one scale out of 10. Two hundred hours of learning, 500 cold messages, three free projects, 500 cold messages, three cheap projects, $1 a month. 500 cold messages slash referrals. Tier asking people referrals, one $10 client. Or you keep stacking these three threes, three or $1, $1, $1, then you get $7 or you get $1, $1, $1, $1, and then a $3, and then a $5, and then a $10. You just keep climbing the ladder. It's exactly what I did. Took me two years. Okay? People wanna rush the process. Actually, let me rephrase that. Took me two years to learn. It took me about a year to learn this and then a year to start it. And then in that second year, it took me about nine months. February to December. February to, yeah, to December to crack 10 k. And then it's a compound effect. It went from 10 to 40, like, super fast. So this is how you start to make your first $10 online. I do not sell a course. I'm not selling anything. Just go do it, and don't ask me how to start anymore.
