After lurking around Steemit for a few hours and getting some insight on what and what not will bring bona fide value to the engaged readers & contributors around here, I came up with this simple post/story for everyone who believes that in order to be successful you have to have a lot of time and resources in your pocket.
Action Takers - You’re gonna love this !
Got a an expertise or skill in something that you want to monetize...but you don't know quite where to start?
Want to get up and running in no time at all? Here's my 'Expert Authority' hack for ya:
Think up the RESULT you help someone get.
Create a series of steps / modules / principles that you would take them through if you were teaching them. List 3- 7 overarching steps.
EXAMPLE: Do you help business get more customers? Then maybe your 3 Steps are "Get Leads, Make Sales, Retain Clients"
Getting someone in shape? Maybe you need to teach them the 4 Pillars of Mindset, Nutrition, Exercise, and Recovery.
These are the basic principles (not tactics).
Next, list the 3 top bullet points to teach for EACH of the 3-7 master principles / steps.
Record a 5-10 minute video for each of the bullets. So, with 5 master steps, you'd have 15 short videos total
Get the videos transcribed and audio stripped. Use Rev.com for $1/minute transcription (so total $150)
Use vid2mp3.com to strip audio out of your video files free.
‼️ You now have a video course, audio course and PDF and a BOOK written text helping your market get from A - Z. Boom, indeed. ‼️
Sell that for $49 - 99 (or whatever price you want). Or share it inside a subscription membership club, at a monthly rate (drip the content weekly or monthly). Sell just 20 of those subscriptions at $50/month and you have a $1000/month income stream (mostly automated).
That's your DIY level of service. The client buys info and implements it on their own. So they pay less.
Next, add a consultancy service, or 'Do It Together'.
Take on consulting clients for minimum $500+/month. Your clients get a copy of the digital info package, and then calls with you are mainly to answer questions and guide them
Get just 4 people paying you that and you now have another $2000/month in revenue ($3000/month total).
Now, we add a DFY Agency service.
IF you want your own agency doing this, then get 2 apprentices - have them learn your digital course. Then find THEM DFY clients at $1000/month.
Get just 2 DFY clients and you have $2000/month additional. Give your team members some appropriate pay.
That's how you can go from 'Idea' to 'Recurring, time-leveraged income' of $5000/month in 30 days.

Not gonna leave you hanging. I'm also gonna provide you with:
==================================
How to set up a SIMPLE sales funnel that will generate you clients on AUTOPILOT...
...even if you have NO website right now.
Step 1:
Get Leadpages ($37/month)
Build a simple opt in page, offering a FREE video tutorial, and free email lessons on how to achieve the result you offer. When they opt in they are immediately taken to....
Step 2:
Build a VSL page - which is the VSL video you offered. On the video you walk them through your process and then offer them a chance to apply for a 1-1 consult.
Step 3:
Build a 'Thank you' page for those who applied for the one to one call. Link them to your scheduling software (Calendly.com is good, and free).
Step 4:
Create a Follow Up sequence of 10 - 20 emails on an autoresponder. These emails give some quick tips and then link back to your offer again.
Emails to go out every other day. With 20 emails that gives you a 40-day automated sales funnel to begin with
Each week, batch 1 hour to create 5 more emails and build them in. This increases the length of your sales funnel by 10 days every week.
Use Aweber free 30-day trial for this if you want.
Step 5:
On the consultations you book in, walk them through what you do, and now making an offer is EASY.
NO need for 'objections
Simply ask them, "What level of investment are you ready to contribute for this result ?" Low, medium or high ?
Then provide them with service that matches their desired level of investment (membership/info-product... consulting... or DFY accordingly)
Step 6:
Get traffic to the landing page you made (if you like this so far, I will share real, implementable strategies straight in my next post , simply comment “GET ME TRAFFIC” down below)
Voila.
Automated sales machine, leading into an expert business, with recurring revenue, high paying clients and your own DFY agency. In 30 days, if you're a real action taker, you will get more done than anyone who is setting New Year’s Resolution 10 years ahead of them.
Not even joking.
