How to build a $100/day digital side hustle.

A dead simple guide to get you started:

 Since 2020, I've:

• Built an online audience of 80k+
• Sold $150k+ in digital products
• Secured $50k+ in contracts
• Generated 100M+ views

It all helped me build a side hustle that allowed me to leave my 9-5.

If I had to start from scratch, here's what I would do:
1. Find your "niche-of-one"

This is found at the intersection of:

• What you're good at
• What is already popular
• What is currently profitable

The three ingredients of a profitable, money-making side hustle.
2. Start on Twitter

Why?

Twitter is the best audience building platform because:

• You can DM creators
• You can collect rapid data
• You can quickly execute on publishing
• You can mix short and long form content

(And we'll leverage the content later)
3. "Borrow" your core audience

Most people:

• Publish into the void
• Purchase shares & retweets
• Join expensive engagement groups

To grow in the beginning.

There's another way...

The "Waffle House Marketing Strategy"

4. Repurpose popular content into threads

Data is our most important asset online.

• Publish short form content for 30 days (min)
• Scan the analytics and look for "signal"
• Repurpose into long form threads

This is the 10,000 follower playbook:
5. Syndicate content on LinkedIn

We can now take our successful Twitter content and:

• Convert into a carousel
• Upload to Linkedin
• 2X our reach

I love using the Carousel creator from Taplio for this.
6. Drive traffic to your newsletter:

Use every:

• Post
• Tweet
• Article
• Thread

To drive traffic to your list.

A question I get often, "how big do I need to be before starting a newsletter?"

Answer: no requirement.

If you're helping your audience – this will work.
7. Collect feedback for offer

Use your newsletter to:

• Uncover problems your audience has
• Provide more detailed info
• Test new ideas

Your newsletter is how you uncover your future offer.
8. Build your offer

Use Alex Hormozi's Value Equation:

• A dream outcome
• And likelihood of achievement

Divided by:

• A time delay
• And effort & scarifice

In other words, consider:

• Outcome
• Social proof
• Reduce time needed
• Minimize effort required
9. Promote high-touch services (first)

High-touch services:

• Are easier to sell
• Carry a higher price point
• Give you valuable client feedback

What are "high-touch" services?

Think:

• Group coaching
• Coaching calls
• Consulting

Use your newsletter to promote this.
10. Systematize this into a product

Once you get the feedback. Use it to:

• Develop a system
• Create a course
• Build an app

Anything that creates more leverage.

(I.e. takes your bandwidth out of the equation).
11. Reverse-engineer your revenue goals

Let's uncover our sales requirements.

Goal: $3,000 a month ($100/day).

We can sell:

• 60 group coaching calls at $200
• 1 high-touch service at $3,000
• 3.3 courses a day at $100

Pick a target and then work backward.
Happy building ✌️

Starting a company is hard.

The hardest part: the euphoric ups followed by the VICIOUS downs

I wasn’t satisfied that this was “the way it had to be”

I started digging. Worked with a coach. Read books

Here’s the #1 I learned to fight the ups and downs

I do it daily 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽

1/ First, let’s back up.

One thing entrepreneurs all have in common is that we are HUMAN.

Newsflash: Humans weren’t designed to be happy. We were designed for one thing: survival.

Now if you were designing an animal to survive, what are some things you may give it?

2/ How about an alert system?

Something to let them know they should be careful or stop doing something: EMOTIONS

Fear - what wants to be paid attention to?
Anger - what wants to be stopped?
Sadness - what wants to be let go?
Joy - what Wants to be celebrated?

What else?

3/ You’d want this animal to be able to use these emotions and quickly spot threats.

In fact, humans are built to walk into a room and first pay attention to anything that could harm them!

But these days, we don’t often experience threats aren’t to our physical survival…

Build a cold email lead gen agency from scratch

// THREAD //

You've already seen it on this side of twits.

People who have transparently built $10k/mo. agencies with a few resources.

I'm going to reveal exactly how you can start this agency today and the ONLY resources you'll need for it.

Let's begin!

1. Core service

A cold email lead gen agency gets leads using cold email

>> scrapes the emails
>> writes the emails
>> sends the emails
>> books appointments

2. Your clients

Imagine running an agency where ALL appointments are booked for you.

You will target
>> local biz agencies
>> ad agencies
>> ecom agencies
>> coaches / consultants

HUGE MARKET.
PEOPLE GO CRAZY FOR THIS.

3. Cold email clients

Seriously, if you write a killer cold email to an agency, it speaks for itself.

Just ask @blackhatwizardd or @THETYFRANKEL.

What you'll need is obviously a 10/10 first line.

But that's not all.

You need to know exactly what agencies are looking for.

THREAD: 10 significant things that the best startup founders get right.

(From my notes helping 400+ founders grow their startups.)

The smartest people I’ve met:

They retrain their minds to enjoy being wrong.

They get a dopamine hit when proven wrong because they’re excited to be closer to the truth. The truth is addictive.

In contrast, if you refuse to lose a debate, your brain keeps running old firmware.

I don’t know one highly effective person who isn’t strongly biased toward taking action.

They defer the stuff that doesn’t matter, and they always finish the stuff that does.

It's about rate of iteration and persistence, not brilliance.

The successful people I know have mastered delayed gratification:

They let themselves feel a dopamine hit when they do something that makes their future selves better.

They've learned to value their future self as much as their present self.

Success in life really appears to be two things:

1. Point yourself in the right direction.

2. Do the work even when you're not in the mood to.

(And privilege.)

11 pricing strategies so effective customers will line up to pay you:

Price Anchoring:

Anchoring is a psychological bias that overemphasizes the first piece of information received.

Here's how its used:

Sellers show prospects a high number and then follow it up with a lower price to increase perceived value.

More value = more sales


Decoy Pricing:

It's common to see pricing options that comes in three's.

One of the options is a "decoy" or a fake designed to increase sales of a cheaper plan.

For example:

The presence of the £1680 plan increases the sales of the £560 because its relatively cheaper.


Freemium Pricing:

Companies allow partial use of their products in exchange for creating an account.

Typically, top features are restricted or the user cannot have their experience ad free.

Free versions are effective at "warming up" prospects to become paid users.


Price Reframing:

Divide the monthly or annual prices by the number of days in that period to show the daily price, or smallest number possible.

Also, compare pricing to everyday objects like a cup of coffee to make bigger costs more palatable.

Lower number = less friction.

The kingdom of Sindh was ruled by its last Hindu king Raja Dahir during the 8th century. When Muhammad-bin-Qasim invaded Sindh, he decimated Sindh in his savage bloodlust. The chronicles of his advent are described in the Chachnama.


2/n
The Chachnama describes in detail how the Arabs led by butcher Qasim conquered Sindh. It tells the terrible tale of bravery, treachery, & carnage marking the entry of Islamic conquest of India’s Hindus.


3/n
When Muhammad-bin-Qasim attacked Sindh, Dahir had collected an army of 50,000 horses and marched from Brahamanabad to Rawar to face the invader. Qasim had an army that numbered in the tens of thousands with camels & horses.

4/n
Earlier Arab Alafis - Syeds from Prophet Mohammed’s own family had fled from Mecca with 500 men to Sindh and Raja Dahir had given them asylum. Trusting these Muslims would prove to be the fatal mistake for the downfall of Sindh & pave the way for Islamic invasion.

5/n
On an “auspicious day” in A.D. 711, fixed by astrologers, Mohammed Bin Qasim started for Sindh at the head of the Iraqi, Syrian, and other Arab soldiers. His horses and camels were disguised to look like lions and elephants. Rebel Jats also joined Qasim’s army.

1. Now that Stan Lee is being eulogized far and wide, it's important to remember how marginal Stan Lee and his collaborators (Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko) were in the 1950s and 1960s.

2. Marvel Comics (before that Atlas) was just a cog in the machine of a bottom pulp publisher run by Martin Goodman, the husband of one of Lee's cousins. It was the lowest of the low in the publishing world.

3. Now Mario Puzo (not yet the author of the Godfather) shared offices with Stan Lee in the 1950s and 1960s. Puzo wrote for garrish men's adventure magazines and, like Lee, dreamed of writing a novel & breaking out. But Puzo looked down on Lee.

4. Flo Steinberg, 1960s secretary at Marvel: "They were always making jokes about us. They'd come in and giggle. mario Puzo would look in and would see us all working on his way to the office and say, 'Work faster, little elves. Christmas is coming.'"

5. When JFK was killed, the whole office of Magazine Management was stunned and quiet. Except Lee. He continued working. "He was still working on the comic books," Puzo said. "Like that was the most important thing in the world."

PAKISTAN-INDIA WATER ISSUES – HOW INDIA STOPPED WATER IN PAKISTAN's CANALS IN 1948

First thread of the year because I have time during MCO. As requested, a thread on the gods and spirits of Malay folk religion. Some are indigenous, some are of Indian origin, some have Islamic


Before I begin, it might be worth explaining the Malay conception of the spirit world. At its deepest level, Malay religious belief is animist. All living beings and even certain objects are said to have a soul. Natural phenomena are either controlled by or personified as spirits

Although these beings had to be respected, not all of them were powerful enough to be considered gods. Offerings would be made to the spirits that had greater influence on human life. Spells and incantations would invoke their


Two known examples of such elemental spirits that had god-like status are Raja Angin (king of the wind) and Mambang Tali Arus (spirit of river currents). There were undoubtedly many more which have been lost to time

Contact with ancient India brought the influence of Hinduism and Buddhism to SEA. What we now call Hinduism similarly developed in India out of native animism and the more formal Vedic tradition. This can be seen in the multitude of sacred animals and location-specific Hindu gods
