My Learnings from Testing 20+ "Money Making Methods"


Happy Saturday everyone.

This one is coming out later in the day. It has been a crazy day preparing for some really really exciting things. I am pumped to be sharing more in the upcoming weeks, but I can't help myself from at least sharing a tiny glimpse. (And yes, I am one of those people that cannot keep a secret, so don't tell me any).

Because I cannot keep a secret, here is a little teaser...

So the whole reason I am working on this "Super Top Secret Classified Project" is because of a realization I had a few months ago.

You see I have been obsessed with business, making money, marketing, advertising, etc. ever since I can remember.

I started having lemonade stands at age 5 or 6, sold candy to students at school for a few years, made custom drawstring backpacks to sell in 6th grade, and have tried 20+ different money making methods in my life.

I just kinda love it.

(btw if you are interested in more of the "money making methods" I have tried, I made a video a few months ago tier ranking them... you can watch here).

But more about my recent realization...

Trying these 20+ "money making methods" I have learned quite a ton. I have pages and pages of notes and an entire notion document full of my random little takeaways and insights.

A few months ago I went back and reviewed some of them for fun, and as I did I had an epiphany.

There is a lesson in there btw...go back through your old notes. You wrote those things down for a reason.

Anyways...

After reviewing these notes here is what I realized.

There are just 2 things you have to do in order for people to willingly hand you their money:

  1. Create an offer that is so good people feel stupid saying no
  2. Make people aware of your offer

People either don't have a good enough offer or people just don't know about the offer.

It sounds so simple and it may be obvious to you. But something clicked right then and there for me.

Almost immediately, this realization got me started on this "Super Top Secret Classified Project".

Let's just say that I have been writing a lot :)

Gosh, I think I am spoiling it...

As I have written, I have learned. The learnings from this have already landed me clients in 2 different businesses that I have just started and will helps tons of people get customers and clients regardless what their "money making method" is.

I will be using the frameworks from this "Super Top Secret Classified Project" in every "money making method" that I test out and post on my youtube channel.

Keep an eye out for updates.

ALSO, if there is anything I can do to help you in your money making endeavors just let me know. I will respond to all emails.

I am here to help,

P.S. Last week I told you there would be an update on the lizard I turned into a wallet and would be selling on tiktok shop. To be 100% honest I didn't even get to editing it. So no update there. I promise an update next week though.

For those that have been eagerly waiting the update: Both of the post's bombed. They got less than 900 views and the wallet didn't sell. I tried making...

Weird Way's To Make Money Hey! It's Jacob from YouTube! The guy from the video that went door to door selling address curb painting (the one where the spray paint bottle blew up in my car... hopefully that rings a bell). Oh and YES, I am still driving that car. I promised myself when I bought it that I would drive it till it died. I didn't expect this to happen, but so be it. The girls I take out love it...
