3 THINGS I WILL DO DIFFERENTLY IF I AM TO START MAKING MONEY ONLINE FROM SCRATCH USING MY SMARTPHONE OR LAPTOP
Written By Godstime T Efeni
For the past 5 years now, I have been making money online and I can tell you the truth, it has not been a easy journey. Do you know why?
Failures, mistakes and success makes the journey interesting even when it doesn't feel alright sometimes.
I have made terrible mistakes and also succeeded in areas my failures taught me to do better. So if I am to start all over again, there are 3 things I will FOCUS my energy on;
1. GET TWO RELATED NICHE DOWN HIGH INCOME SKILLS AROUND MY GIFTS AND KNOWLEDGE
I am a gifted writer and speaker but it didn't occur to me until in 2017 when I went for service in Ekiti State.
My writing gift is something that comes natural to me especially my speaking. But there was a mistake which I made in 2017 and I won't want anyone to make especially if you desire to make your first $1,000 online;
I just focused on general writing and speaking instead of niching down. Writing and speaking is broad, if I don't niche down then 6 figure clients won't reach out to me because they don't see me as an expert in a specific area.
Also another mistake I made was to be learning all kinds of skills not relevant to my GIFTS.
Yes I can write and speak especially teaching but what skills do I learn which will make me earn from my GIFTS? No clarity in for 3 years until last year when it became clear.
So I decided to focus on learning the skill of coaching and consulting as a book project consultant.
These are skills that keep making money for me using my GIFTS.
Yours can be different. Find a niche and learn at least two related skills in line with your GIFTS.
2. PRACTICE CONSISTENTLY THE REFINING OF YOUR GIFTS AND SKILLS
You can't make your first $1,000 from your GIFTS by just being gifted alone, you must refine your GIFTS into unique solutions people are desperately looking for and will pay any amount to get.
This will take consistent practice to achieve.
Don't just be a gifted or talented writer, refine your writing gift into unique solutions people can pay for.
Refine your singing gifts, your acting talents and so on.
Then learn relevant skills and practice. This is where paying for online courses comes in.
You don't just wake up and say I want to pay for this online course, you should have clarity of what you are gifted in and know the skills you need to build your GIFTS into a money making BRAND.
For me it is coaching, consulting and training skills that are in line with my GIFTS.
I paid for a coaching certification during the weekend and I am using more than 10gb to watch the videos.
Don't ever think you make your first $1,000 from your GIFTS by sitting down waiting for manna from heaven. It is serious sacrifice you will make especially financially.
3. I WILL GET A COACH ON A RETAINER
I laugh when I see people moving from one coach to another confusing themselves.
You need just one coach to guide you through your journey and once you see the person has finished his or her mission in your life then you move to another person for the next phase.
This is how men move from zero to dollars selling their GIFTS online.
You want to be like Emeka Nobis but you don't know he has invested so much in having a coach guide him in his own journey.
You think this making money online game is a freemium journey?
Yes there are free information online but it can't replace the role of having a coach who guides you all the way.
So these are the 3 THINGS I WILL DO DIFFERENTLY if I am to start all over again.
I am sure you got value, share your take home point and what you will be taking action on now in the comment section.
Share this with others so they get value too.
