Hey guys.
I tried online businesses a bunch of times and did not find success at first. I attempted to utilize youtube to gain leads for a coaching business. I got no coaching clients but based on data I eventually found a gossip niche that gets a good amount of views.
I systematized how I make videos - I make reaction videos which take a few minutes to film and a bit of time to edit. I can make several in an hour. By posting two videos a day I make enough income to live off of. I just hired an assistant to help me with research ( as I have no interest in the gossip and figuring out what to react to is the most time consuming part).
I went from making no money to making like $100 a month to making about $4,000-$5,000 a month - the jumps were VERY non linear. I was stuck at around $100 for nearly a year then - jumped to $1,000 , then $5,000. The thing is I have been making the same amount since January.
I am in this position where it does not seem to take much work to maintain my income - but I have had trouble raising it and hemmed and hawed WAY too much.
So here is a log for me to get better:
Today: I put some goals into GoalSumo - I have filmed 6 videos. I edited and uploaded three of them. I can edit and upload the final 3 videos this evening. I can also settup some shorts to post that are already basically done. The remaining work should probably take about 60-90 minutes. I find this stuff very boring so I may multitask as it truly takes near no focus.
This is a good day - but the days end I will have three days of work done to maintain my income. SO- what is next for me in terms of building another income stream? It'll be time to work on it. Hopefully the log helps.
I just added a bit of affiliate marketing.
Have been thinking to sell ecommerce products from my channel
Also I have a course with a webinar sales model - have been thinking for awhile to work through that.
Thanks for reading! Hopefully I can do better.
Let me remind myself: I have been stagnant but it really would be great to hit those REALLY high income numbers. Be able to travel more comfortably and support my mom - especially as she gets older and perhaps have her be able to travel with me as well. I also would like a dog at some point hehe
