I've become inspired by @Valier diary of his success starting his YT channel. Reading through all 11 pages of comments plus his well documented updates has helped me tremendously recently start my own channel.

It's made me want to share my success I've had starting a blog from scratch and getting tons of Free organic traffic from Google.

Because of this blog, I've been able to connect with several other companies that I've worked for with one I now exclusively work with that pays me close to SEVEN figures a year (this is in addition to my salary I make as a doctor).

If this would be something you guys are interested in learning, specifically how I've accomplished this + the steps I continue to use each day, please let me know.

If I get enough feedback, I'll record a video of my screen to show you the process.

Thank you @MJ DeMarco for putting this forum together and please keep writing your books.

I'm able to share what I'm learning to my two teenagers as well.

If parents don't teach kids about $$$$, who will?

Enjoyed your summary of Who not How in the blog. Fantastic book, also one of the best I've read this year. Simple concept that causes massive shifts.

I'm all ears.

EDIT: I'm all eyes. (More accurate, but just doesn't have the same ring to it.)

That is an incredible result. Anything you can tell us about your process would be appreciated.

I took it upon myself to shoot this video of my screen of how I perform keyword research for my blog along with the tools I use.

I hope this helps.....
Good stuff. I appreciate you taking the time to do this and your spirit of giving back.

I now exclusively work with that pays me close to SEVEN figures a year

Would you feel comfortable telling us a little more about this? How did this connection get made? Did you approach or did they? How was that figure arrived at? Is it a set amount or performance based?

I understand if you don't feel comfortable sharing. My team and I just started a project in a different industry and I'm looking at how to monetize it. Here's my thread if you are interested.

About to “start” my own blog. (Well, more like copy/paste lots of content I’ve strewn all over the Internet.)

I’ll likely run ads to articles too.

Great to see all these bloggers, good luck with your project and would be awesome to see how it goes down the road. I was in the 2nd wave of travel bloggers in 2010 and I still have 3 blogs up that produce a lot of introductions and open doorways in so many ways.

Also thanks Doc for the post, loved the video and really like your site.

@BizyDad , the group reached out an approached me. I vetted them for a year, met person to person during last summer when we were shut down from seeing patients in Louisiana (I'd drive over to Dallas).

The figure was taken from the "average" formula in the capital raising for real estate industry.

I'd never done this before but had a fairly large email list.

I simply started emailing out deals I was personally investing in and if people wanted to invest alongside me, I'd connect them with the General Partner running the syndication.

In 9 months, I've raised $15M.

It seems, after talking to others that are in this space, it takes YEARS to get to the point where someone is raising $1M/year consistently.

It seems that once again....God has blessed me.....I'm just along for the ride attempting to provide value whenever I can.....

Hope this helps and reach out with further questions.....

That's really cool. I had a feeling it was something like that, and it makes me question if I shouldn't've gone into the finance niche after all.

Ah well, that could be next.

Congratulations on your success so far.
During your due diligence, did you clear with a securities lawyer whether you are at risk for raising funds? Do you need accreditation? I’m not sure how it works in the US, but in Canada this is a regulated industry to protect “the little guy”.

Yes, I met with their attorneys and am now a GP in their firm.

You missed my point. You need your own securities lawyer to tell you “are you fine selling securities to your list?” Or will the SEC come down on you and force you to repay every investor who lost money because you weren’t a “exempt market dealer”? I am a developer in RE in Canada and speak from first hand knowledge, but only in Canada. Maybe in the USA it’s a Wild West for raising capital like that… here as a GP you could have massive contingent liability.
