👇 How to make €100k+/year👇

[Adam Walsh @adamwlsh]

My name is Adam. I like working out, travelling and I've had a passion for online business since the age of 12. ⁠
⁠
I've always been looking at ways to make money online and I've tried everything. ⁠
⁠
Here's how I got to where I am today...⁠

[Adam Walsh @adamwlsh]

In 1995, the average Irish house cost 4x your annual salary. Today it costs 6–7x.

I bought 2 properties outright in my 20s.

That was only possible because of one thing…

A business I could run from anywhere.


Not a salary. Not a promotion. A business.

[Adam Walsh @adamwlsh]

I knew it was my time to leave Ireland when...

The government was handing out €350/week in PUP payments, basically paying people to stay home and do nothing.

Meanwhile, they were taking 50% other people's incomes that were still working or running their business.

Madness.

[Adam Walsh @adamwlsh]

Back in 2023... I hit €1,000,000 net worth so I bought myself a Rolex for €13,000.

That was exactly 1.3% of my net worth.

I waited so long because I've seen too many people...

Making €10k+ a month and still go broke.

Don't go broke trying to look rich.

[Adam Walsh @adamwlsh]

I spent $300 on a Forex course when I was 17.

I made no money but it was the best investment I ever made.

It thought me that money must be earned through skills...

...not by copy pasting someone's trades and being lazy.

[Adam Walsh @adamwlsh]

Would you want to learn how to run a marathon from a guy who was running for 5 months and then quit because he found a “better opportunity”?

Of course not.

Then why pay a coach who has only been doing his thing for less than 6 months?

[Adam Walsh @adamwlsh]

I declined a €24,000/year marketing job because I wanted:

- Remote work (wanted to travel)

- No set hours (get paid per project instead)

The CEO told me I would regret not taking the job.

Now I make 40x that yearly salary.

Know what you want and stick to it.

Unpopular opinion:

Don't invest unless you have $100k liquid.

Investing $10k into the S&P, might bring you back $800 in a good year

It might also lose you $800 in a bad year

But investing $10k into skills to use to start businesses always pay as long as you work hard

3) In the U.S. last year, businesses spent over $66 bn on marketing/advertising

Each year more and more is spent and the longer you wait, the more you miss out.

Now, there are more businesses and more $ spent on marketing.

Doesn't that tell ya something?

[Adam Walsh @adamwlsh]

3 facts that make starting an SMMA a no-brainer.

1) There are 137,000 new businesses started every day across the world.

Now don't you think you could convince at least a couple of them to pay you for social media marketing?

Just 0.01% would still be 13 businesses...

[Adam Walsh @adamwlsh]

Most 51 year old business owners don't know how AND don't want to do social media BUT... it's 2023 so most of them understand the importance of it for growing their business.

[Adam Walsh @adamwlsh]

I used to work 12 hour days, hustling to make $10k a month because that's what everyone does.

If that’s you right now...

Hear me out:

You started business for more freedom right?

Why not make +$10k/mo and work 2 hrs/day?

What's stopping you?

--> You ask questions and pin point their problem. (Doctor approach)

--> You give value and explain how your service can directly impact their business (Value Advice giver)

--> You position your service as the solution to their problem (Doctor approach

I started an SMMA in 2019 and scaled it to $1,000,000 in revenue in 3 years.

Here are 3 SMMA sales tactics I used to close 30% of all discovery calls I booked 👇🏼

3. The Blend of Doctor and Value Giver (my favorite) 💰

This approach combines questioning to understand their needs with providing value and explaining solutions, fostering a balanced conversation that builds trust and showcases expertise.

[Adam Walsh @adamwlsh]

I decided to start an online business after college and almost everyone doubted. They said:

“It’s too risky”

“It’s not a real job”

“You are wasting your degree”

“It won't work”

So here's what I did...

I started anyway.

There's a lesson in there.
