The Steps

• Phase 1: day job (get some income rolling in, overlap skills with your internet business if possible, find the win-win scenario)
• Phase 2: freelancing (small jobs, don't become a monthly employee, get good at just one hour per day, avoid scope creep)
• Phase 3: information products (solutions to real problems, find the sweet spot between power, simplicity, and speed)
• Phase 4: membership sites & passive income (use the untapped potential of your list, 2 week mini-launch & pitch webinar, keep piling in a batch of members)

List, Traffic, and Offers

• list: prospects and buyers (email autoresponder, opt-in page, follow-up sequence)
• traffic: bigger community than yours, joint ventures, SEO (blog posts, guest posts, YouTube videos, podcasts), PPC (retargeting, AdWords, Facebook, Bing)
• offers: affiliate products, resale rights, $7 solutions, $197-$497 four-part membership course, $2000/month coaching program
• time management: four daily tasks, wake up one hour earlier, leave the computer when you're done

Fiverr Income (ProfitDashboard.com)

• goal: one hour, 1 dollar per minute, 10 repeat clients
• ranking: deliver fast (easy if you enjoy what you're doing), leave feedback, tweak gig description, get ratings
• process: wake up to orders (knock out audios, videos, written material, software reports), tweak those numbers to grow and avoid a slump, upsell and scale (i.e. charge higher rates for the same time/effort)
