How to build your first 2 online revenue streams:

(without knowing how to code)

A short 🧵

1/ Eliminate the "fallacy of expertise"

When you get started, you can't worry about "am I an expert?"

If you do, you'll never get started.

Instead, make a list of your accomplishments, big and small, over the last 2-3 years.

What skills did you learn during this period?
2/ Identify your interests

Inside of the list you just created, will be things you loved doing and hated doing.

Sorry, but misery doesn't scale.

Choose something you built skills in, that you also enjoy doing/talking about/writing about.

This will be your focus.
3/ Find the "you" from 2-3 years ago

Your goal is to find people who are just like you, but much earlier in their journey.

Where do they hang out online? Try places like:

- Reddit
- Twitter
- LinkedIn
- FB Groups

If you can't find them, use tools like @sparktoro to help.
4/ Create content

Next, it's time to establish credibility.

Here are some easy ways:

- Teardowns
- Tweet threads
- Step-by-step guides

Show the people 2-3 years behind you that you understand their challenges & have solved them before.

This will gain you a small following.
5/ Create a service business

A simple coaching business can be your 1st income stream.

Put up an MVP landing page and use @stripe to collect payments.

The key? Make the pricing a no-brainer.

You're not looking to get rich here, you're looking to learn. (more on this)
6/ Promote it

It's unlikely you'll get clients just because your business exists.

Instead, find easy ways to promote it.

When your new followers ask you questions, tell them about your coaching business.

When you write content, share a link at the end.

Simple stuff.
7/ Listen for commonalities

This is a key step to creating your 2nd income stream.

Your goal when coaching is to listen for the most common problems of your students.

- Write down every problem you hear
- Dive deeper to understand them
- Keep a running list

This is the gold.
8/ Build a digital product

Your 2nd income stream is your first digital product. Focused on the most common problem above.

Take someone from problem to solution in 45 minutes or less.

Keep it focused.

Single problem → single solution

Price it reasonably to build trust.
9/ Raise your rates

With a lower-priced product, you can now increase your coaching rates.

When people want coaching, you can coach.

When they don't, tell them about your digital product.

You now have an offering for different learning styles and price points.
10/ Set up your systems

- Create useful content
- Drive people to the product
- Upsell 1:1 coaching packages

With this simple system it's only a matter of time before you add a 3rd income stream:

- Consulting
- Community
- Physical products
- Cohort-based coaching

Next?
Get started.

A Twitter audience is a massive asset.

I've added 37,196 followers in just 14 weeks.

Here are the 7 simple things I did:

🧵

1/ Built my publishing habit

In late October, I committed to publishing daily on Twitter.

I started with a "Happy {Day} to X" Tweet each AM.

I had 2 simple goals:

1. Build a habit of posting each day.
2. Put my name & face in front of people


2/ An educational tweet each PM

Each afternoon, I share a lesson from my solopreneur journey.

Topics include:

- Audience growth
- Service businesses
- Building info products
- Using social media effectively

I pretend I'm writing to help ONE


3/ A step-by-step thread once weekly

Weekly threads power my growth.

I gained thousands of followers by sharing detailed threads.

My goal is to walk someone step-by-step through something critical in


4/ Engage with 5-8 interesting people each week

Make it a habit to build connections.

Here are some smart folks I've chatted with, just to jam out:

@ecomchasedimond
@JamesonCamp
@Nicolascole77
@OneJKMolina
@TheDanKoe
@dickiebush
@landforce
@aaditsh

It's "social" media.

🌺श्री गरुड़ पुराण - संक्षिप्त वर्णन🌺

हिन्दु धर्म के 18 पुराणों में से एक गरुड़ पुराण का हिन्दु धर्म में बड़ा महत्व है। गरुड़ पुराण में मृत्यु के बाद सद्गती की व्याख्या मिलती है। इस पुराण के अधिष्ठातृ देव भगवान विष्णु हैं, इसलिए ये वैष्णव पुराण है।


गरुड़ पुराण के अनुसार हमारे कर्मों का फल हमें हमारे जीवन-काल में तो मिलता ही है परंतु मृत्यु के बाद भी अच्छे बुरे कार्यों का उनके अनुसार फल मिलता है। इस कारण इस पुराण में निहित ज्ञान को प्राप्त करने के लिए घर के किसी सदस्य की मृत्यु के बाद का समय निर्धारित किया गया है...

..ताकि उस समय हम जीवन-मरण से जुड़े सभी सत्य जान सकें और मृत्यु के कारण बिछडने वाले सदस्य का दुख कम हो सके।
गरुड़ पुराण में विष्णु की भक्ति व अवतारों का विस्तार से उसी प्रकार वर्णन मिलता है जिस प्रकार भगवत पुराण में।आरम्भ में मनु से सृष्टि की उत्पत्ति,ध्रुव चरित्र की कथा मिलती है।


तदुपरांत सुर्य व चंद्र ग्रहों के मंत्र, शिव-पार्वती मंत्र,इन्द्र सम्बंधित मंत्र,सरस्वती मंत्र और नौ शक्तियों के बारे में विस्तार से बताया गया है।
इस पुराण में उन्नीस हज़ार श्लोक बताए जाते हैं और इसे दो भागों में कहा जाता है।
प्रथम भाग में विष्णुभक्ति और पूजा विधियों का उल्लेख है।

मृत्यु के उपरांत गरुड़ पुराण के श्रवण का प्रावधान है ।
पुराण के द्वितीय भाग में 'प्रेतकल्प' का विस्तार से वर्णन और नरकों में जीव के पड़ने का वृत्तांत मिलता है। मरने के बाद मनुष्य की क्या गति होती है, उसका किस प्रकार की योनियों में जन्म होता है, प्रेत योनि से मुक्ति के उपाय...
