A student of TRW just got paid your yearly salary in one invoice.
And that's just from one client.
How?
By solving problems online.
If you have a laptop, an internet connection and 2 hours of free time per day..
Here's how you can do the same in 30 days (assuming you are a complete beginner with no experience):
First, you need to learn a high-demand online skill.
You need to dedicate the next 5 days purely to learning ONE of the following:
- Copywriting
- Short-Form Marketing
- Long-Form Editing
- Lead Generation
- High-Ticket Sales
- Social Media Marketing
- AI Automation
You can learn any online skill for free on the internet.
Just search "*your skill* tutorial" on YT and you will find hundreds of videos teaching you the basics.
You don't have to be a complete expert, just a little bit better than the future clients you'll be servicing.
This student managed to learn copywriting within just a few days through the copywriting bootcamp inside The Real World.
Next, you need to create proof of work.
Once you have a good understanding of how your skill works, you need to practice.
It usually takes around 20 hours of focused practice for basic competence,
But here's a trick to get better AND get your first client much faster:
List 3-5 businesses you'd like to work for.
Identify one problem they are having with their business that you can fix.
Could be anything from:
- Poorly managed social media profiles
- Not utilising short-form videos
- Poor copy on their business website
- Broken sales funnel
Practice your chosen skill by fixing the problem for them.
If they have poor copy on their website, practice by rewriting their website copy for them.
If they are not utilising short-form videos on their pages, practice by editing 3 videos for them.
Upload these into a portfolio - you'll be using this to show proof to businesses that you can achieve results for them.
Next you will do outreach.
You need to choose a niche first - choose one that you are most interested in.
Then create a list of 50 businesses within that niche.
Email them and offer your solution to their problems.
You can use the following template:
Bold Opener
Your Offer
Your Proof of Work/Portfolio
Simple CTA
Keep it simple and just say what matters.
When you have a reply, offer to work on their business for FREE.
You need experience and working for free takes the risk away from the client.
You won't be working for free forever. You just need proof. And quickly.
Once you have the client onboard, overdeliver and underpromise. Get RESULTS.
The most important part is actually getting results for them.
Then, ask for referrals/a testimonial so it is easier to get future clients.
With each new project, you can raise your prices as you get better results.
From there you can repeat the process, scale by hiring team members and turn it into a full-fledged service based business.
This student was able to charge high prices because he became valuable through his skills and network.
Remember: the game is about results.
The more skilled and likely you are to get results for clients, the more you will be paid.
You get paid in proportion to the size of the problems you solve.
It always pays to skill-stack and learn more high-demand skills that the marketplace values.
Something bizarre happened today...
Gary Halbert sent me a dollar letter,
Well not quite.
Someone else sent me a letter enclosed with a dollar.
I thought it was pretty cool to experience it in person.
PLUS, they tell us to use textbook marketing strategies in our own copy.
Thought I would share, to show it's still being used today.

Luck is what you see looking from the outside,
But behind the scenes hard work is the determining factor.
Luck is but an illusion and cover for unseen hard work.
