$18K/Month Selling Templates, Plugins & Courses in the Spanish Market

Published June 1, 2023 by Niall Doherty
Pau Forner’s main website is Una Vida Online
He shared in a recent interview…
I started this website in 2018 as a side gig to share my experience and knowledge in blogging and affiliate marketing…
…we are currently making about 18K per month with a good profit margin. Our revenue comes from selling online courses and WordPress themes/plugins, as well as community memberships.
Also, around 50% of our total revenue comes from our affiliate sites which are very well-positioned in the Spanish market.
I love seeing successful businesses like this in non-English speaking markets. It’s a good reminder of the opportunities that are out there.
If you’re fluent in a language besides English, what business ideas do you see working well in English that might also work well in your language / area?
A few examples I’ve covered before in this newsletter…
$285,000/month Danish newsletterThe 72-Year-Old Mexican Grandma Dominating YouTube3 Non-English Wordle Websites Earning Big MoneyBut remember that such businesses usually require a ton of time and effort before they bear fruit
Pau’s business was no different in that regard…
The beginnings were tough and I almost gave up. I could only work on my websites at night and I didn’t make any money in the first 8 months.
The first affiliate commission he earned – after 8 months of work – amounted to only €2.06, but that motivated him to keep going
Good thing he did…
After two years I was making more money with affiliate commissions than with my salary as a full-time employee, so I took the step to quit the job and focus entirely on my online projects.
Pau also emphasizes that you don’t need to be an expert to get started…
When you start, make a list of your interests and what you are good at, and try to solve a very specific problem in the most practical way possible. Don’t be afraid of not being an expert. Even if you are not an expert now, you’ll have to research to create content for your website or channel, so you will likely have become one by the time your business starts getting some visibility.

Hey, I’m Niall Doherty.
I quit my last 9-to-5 job back in 2010.
Since then, I’ve earned my living online in various ways. Over the last 3 years (through 2022) I’ve earned $536,000 from my laptop.
I’m on a mission to accurately rate and review all the best online business courses. My team and I are spending many hours investigating these courses and getting feedback from real students.
All that to say: we know a thing or two about such courses and making money online.
The Best Trading Course?We’re on a mission to find the best trading course, based on feedback from real students combined with our own extensive research of the training.
Bullish Bears is one of the better courses we’ve seen…

How does Bullish Bears help you make money?
Bullish Bears is a community and bundle of courses, trade rooms, and tools that aim to help you make money in the stock market.
There are many strategies you can use, and the program covers a lot of them, including:
Day tradingOptions tradingSwing tradingFutures tradingPrice action tradingThe official word from the sales page…

And here’s a short video telling you what you can expect…
Learn more about tradingWho is Bullish Bears for?Bullish Bears targets aspiring traders willing to invest money, time, and effort into becoming successful.
Some more context…

Bullish Bears community can be useful for traders of any skill level.
There are beginner courses, advanced courses, and everything in between…

Yes.
While researching Lucien Bechard and Bullish Bears, I found nothing but praise for the program and its creator.
According to his LinkedIn, Lucien co-founded Bullish Bears in September 2016.
Highly reputable websites have rated the training since then:
“Best value” trading course by Investopedia“Best budget” trading course by Business Insider5 stars by BenzingaBullish Bears also has 5 stars from 40+ reviews on Google…

The only thing that gives me pause is that all the Google reviews are from over a year ago.
Are Lucien Bechard students getting results?It’s easy to find people praising Bullish Bears, but I had difficulty finding students reporting that they’d achieved significant results from following the training.
For example…



For such a highly-praised and popular course, I would have expected to see far more testimonials of actual student results.
But such reports seem to be rare for students of Bullish Bears.
How much does Bullish Bears cost?For access to the Bullish Bears community, there are three options:
$47 monthly$247 yearly$547 one-time (lifetime access)I didn’t see mention of a suggested amount of funds to invest in trading.
Bullish Bears Discount?I searched high and low for a discount or coupon code but didn’t find any online. However, there is a place to enter a discount code on the Bullish Bears checkout.
And, a few days after I signed up for the free Bullish Bears training – via their home page – I got an email promoting a 50% off holiday sale.
I’m not sure how often they run those kinds of sales, but your best bet to hear about one is to sign up for their free training here.
Refund PolicyBullish Bears does not offer refunds.
The official policy…
The Bullish Bears do not offer any refunds for any of our plans. If we were to grant a refund, in special circumstances, you will be charged a transaction fee of $20.00.
I’m not a big fan of this kind of refund policy, as are many online courses that offer refunds.
How is Bullish Bears structured?There is a lot of content inside Bullish Bears.
It looks like this once you log in…

And here’s a look at some of the 13 included courses…

Most of the training consists of over-the-shoulder video screencasts. These videos guide you through the strategies and techniques discussed.
You also get access to 3 trade rooms where you can:
Follow along with daily live streamsChat about stocks, options, and futuresDiscuss penny stocks and small-cap stocksAnd there’s so much more, including:
30 videos of live day and option trades175+ golden nuggets (short videos)10+ scanners, alerts, and bots ($259+ per month value)A sneak peek at some of the bots…

Thankfully the search function works quite well, so you can always use that to find what you’re looking for…


A few things to like about Bullish Bears…
Active and supportive Discord community.Surprisingly comprehensive core training.Several courses in one, covers a lot of ground.Clear instruction, easy to follow step by step.No hype or sleazy sales tactics.A solid amount of bonuses.Red Flags
Some knocks on Bullish Bears…
Lack of significant success stories from students.Looks like the core training hasn’t been updated since 2021.No refunds.Other things you should knowThere’s a lot of content to consume. It might be helpful for beginners to start with the basics. This means going through the training, asking questions in chat rooms, and watching live trading examples. Once you understand these basics, you can tackle advanced concepts and explore the extra material.I’d suggest not rushing through anything. It might take a few months to get settled.You’ll find plenty of handy downloads within the training, including ebooks, cheat sheets, etc.👇 Subscribe to eBiz Insider 👇Every Tuesday and Friday we email 30,775 people like you with top tips, insights and opportunities to build your online business.

How does No Face YT Course help you make money?
No Face YT is a video course aimed at helping you grow a YouTube channel by creating faceless informational videos.
It covers the following ways to make money with YouTube:
Earn affiliate income promoting other people’s products.Get approved for advertisement monetization (see below)Create and sell digital productsYouTube requirements for monetization approval…

No Face YT seems to target newbies on a budget who want to be a YouTuber but don’t want to be on camera.
Most popular YouTube “Cash Cow” courses focus on paying people to automate the entire YouTube process for you.
No Face YT focuses on scripting, narrating, screen recording, editing, and uploading videos yourself.
Here’s a video from the creator’s YouTube channel so you can get a feel for his style…
70+ ways how to make money online (including easy options)Does Thomas Garetz have a good reputation?It’s controversial.
On the one hand, Thomas has over 458k followers on YouTube, and his videos have amassed over 15 million views.
So there are likely people who would say he does have a good reputation.
On the other hand, many of his videos could be called clickbaity and contain exaggerated claims about making money.
You can get a feel for this just by glancing at his video titles and thumbnails…

I suspect that Thomas doesn’t use these methods to make the kind of money advertised (or any money at all).
That’s not to say some people find value in what he teaches – they do.
But creating seemingly misleading videos that make financial claims like this could easily be seen as unethical and legally questionable.
I’m also not convinced he does No Face YT himself.
Thomas doesn’t reveal his no face channel(s) at any point, and some material within his training feels made up on the fly, IMO.
Are Thomas Garetz students getting results?Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any reviews or testimonials for this course.
So while students of No Face YT may be getting results by following the training, I haven’t seen any evidence of that.
How much does No Face YT Course cost?The sales video claims the course will cost $997 when complete.
However, it currently only costs $247 since it’s in beta.
It might be worth noting that it’s been in beta since October 2021
So I get the impression that the $997 price is more of a marketing tactic than anything else, to make the real price of $247 seem like a bargain.
No Face YT Course Discount?I searched online for a discount or coupon code for No Face YT but couldn’t find any mention of one. There is also no place to enter a discount code at checkout.
So it looks like you’ll have to pay full price if you want access.
Refund PolicyThe official word from Thomas on the sales page…
MY GUARANTEE: I’m so confident you’ll find value in my programs that I’m giving you access to my ROCK SOLID 30-day money-back guarantee! So if for ANY REASON at all you aren’t satisfied, simply send me an email to get a FULL refund with no questions asked!
I haven’t seen any complaints from students about getting a refund so you can rest easy with this guarantee.
How is No Face YT Course structured?All videos are organized into modules.
It looks like this once you’re logged in…

I counted more than 50 videos within the training.
Most videos are 3-10 minutes long.
A fair portion of the course contains basic material like creating a YouTube account and completing SMS verification.
There are also mini courses and bonuses that cover topics like:
TikTokOutsourcingYouTube ShortsAdditionally, you’ll get a handful of resources like templates and recommended tools.
Green Lights
Some positive points for No Face YT Course…
Fairly active and helpful private community.30-day “no questions asked” 100% money-back guarantee.Lessons are short and simple, easily digestible.Red Flags
A few things about No Face YT Course that might give you pause…
Lack of significant success stories from students.Unclear if the training is still being updated.Unclear if Thomas is creating no face YT channels himself.Questionable marketing tactics (false scarcity, financial claims on YouTube.)Other things you should knowThere are a lot of affiliate links in the course for software and equipment. These resources aren’t required to buy but are available to those who want them.Keep in mind that you can make real money as a YouTube creator. But it’s certainly not easy, fast, or foolproof.👇 Subscribe to eBiz Insider 👇Every Tuesday and Friday we email 30,775 people like you with top tips, insights and opportunities to build your online business.

Should you join No Face YT Course?
No Face YT is a decent course for beginners, in my opinion.
It offers step-by-step, over-the-shoulder, organized directions.
While it’s not comprehensive, there’s enough value to help you get started on YouTube.
But if you ask me, succeeding on YouTube is nowhere near as easy as Thomas makes it out to be, and it is highly unlikely you’ll earn the kind of money he talks about in his videos.

Hey, I’m Niall Doherty.
I quit my last 9-to-5 job back in 2010.
Since then, I’ve earned my living online in various ways. Over the last 3 years (through 2022) I’ve earned $536,000 from my laptop.
I’m on a mission to accurately rate and review all the best Amazon FBA courses. My team and I have spent 120+ hours investigating these courses and getting feedback from real students.
All that to say: we know a thing or two about Amazon FBA and making money online.
The best Amazon FBA course?We’re on a mission to find the best Amazon FBA course, based on our own extensive research plus feedback from real students.
Vertex FBA is a decent course but it doesn’t make the top of our list…

How does Vertex FBA help you make money?
Vertex FBA aims to help you make money by teaching you how to purchase products in bulk from China and resell them under your own brand on Amazon at a markup.
This process is called private labeling through Amazon FBA.
For example, you could buy 50 generic ice cream makers for $5,000 at $100 per unit.
The distributor will put your logo on the items and ship them to Amazon’s warehouses.
You can then list the ice cream makers on Amazon at $200 per unit, and Amazon will handle the logistics when someone places an order.
This would result in a gross profit of $100/unit.

Here’s the official word…

Dustin Gimour is the co-founder of Vertex. I didn’t find much chatter online about Dustin, but there are some positive comments on Reddit about Vertex FBA.
However, the legitimacy of these comments is questionable IMO.
For example, here’s a comment from an account with no other activity…

And here’s another from an account with only 1 other comment…

And another from an account with only 3 other comments, 1 of which is on a deleted Vertex FBA post…

Lastly, here’s a comment on a now-deleted thread posted by what looks like the other co-founder of Vertex FBA, Rhoan MacDonald…

It appears he’s posing as a student asking and commenting about the Vertex FBA course
No solid proof that it’s the same Rohan, of course, but it would be a strange coincidence.
Anyway, here’s a video from Dustin’s YouTube channel so you can get a feel for his style…
Are Dustin Gilmour’s students getting results?Browse through the official Vertex FBA sales page and you’ll find what appears to be some solid student testimonials.
For example…



It’s nice to see students getting results like these.
That said, I’m not sure these testimonials are from the current course, as only 5 of 13 modules are published at the time of writing.
How much does Vertex FBA cost?For access to the Vertex FBA training, there are two options:
$1500 one-time4 monthly payments of $419The payment plan adds up to a total price of $1676.
You get lifetime access with either option.
Additional costs are $7,500 for inventory and advertising.
Vertex FBA Course Discount?I’ve searched high and low for a discount or coupon code but have yet to find mention of one anywhere, even though there’s a place to enter a coupon code on the Vertex FBA checkout.
Sorry guys: it’s full-price or nothing.
Refund PolicyThere is a conditional 14-day money-back guarantee.
See below…
How is the Vertex FBA Course structured?

Here’s what the training looks like once you log in and open one of the lessons…

The core training consists of 13 modules…

What’s unique about this training is that it’s structured as an over-the-shoulder case study. It demonstrates Dustin creating a brand new Amazon FBA business from the ground up.
In addition to the training, you get 4 coaching calls as you progress.

Unclear if student success stories are from this course.Questionable marketing tactics.Complicated refund policy.Training feels disjointed.Other things you should knowA good way to think of Dustin Gilmour’s training: he’s basically documented everything he’s done to build his own FBA business. When you buy the course, you get access to that documentation.At the time of writing, only 5 out of the 13 planned modules are published. As the course unfolds in real-time with Dustin building his Amazon FBA business, it could be beneficial to revisit to assess the success of his store.👇 Subscribe to eBiz Insider 👇Every Tuesday and Friday we email 30,775 people like you with top tips, insights and opportunities to build your online business.

Don’t Visualize Success, Visualize The Process
From a book called The Time Paradox, by Philip Zimbardo and John Boyd…
In research examining students studying for midterms and coping with stressful events, psychologist Shelley Taylor and her research team found that those who practiced mental rehearsal and focused on what they needed to do to succeed enhanced their performance more often than those whose mental rehearsal focused strictly on the outcome they desired.
People who rehearsed the steps that they needed to take in order to get good grades and to deal with stressful experiences did better than people who imagined themselves getting good grades and alleviating stress.
When you focus on the process of achieving your goal rather than imagining the end product of your efforts, your chance of success will increase.
So instead of visualizing what your life will look like once you have a successful business, try to visualize the day-to-day of building that successful business.
What would your typical day look like along the way?
Nigerian Freelance Writer: $6500 Earned in 1 Month

Published May 29, 2023 by Niall Doherty
John Iwuozor posted to LinkedIn a few weeks back…
I just want to share today a graph of my progress as a freelance writer from Jan. 2022 – Nov. 2022
Here are some useful takeaways:
Expect feast and famine. While my lowest month was
Consistency works. I averaged $500/month in 2021 but 2022 brought that figure to ~$2k
He adds…
it’s been a journey of sheer grit and determination especially for someone living in a developing country limited to some opportunities readily available to others in different parts of the world.
I’m not sure how old John is, but he looks like he might still be in his early 20’s
He writes on his own website…
I started writing technical data science articles in October 2020 and by December 2020, I started writing for money, making $25 per blog posts for a chess website.
Cybersecurity, SaaS and Chess seem to be the main topics he gets paid to write about nowadays, and he even started his own agency focused on “Content Marketing for Chess Brands & Influencers”
I heard about John via the Business Builders Africa newsletter, which shares a key takeaway…
John writes in a “boring“ industry with huge demand and big budgets. Everyone wants to be a travel writer, nobody dreams of writing about cybersecurity products. But cybersecurity writers get paid a lot more.
Another key for John seems to be good old fashioned hard work
He posted to LinkedIn last week…
I spoke to a friend yesterday who was shocked that I could spend up to 4 hours just on preliminary research
In a world where automation is taking over and people expect quick results, I could understand his reaction.
But you know, that’s the beauty of it.
The fact that I spend 2-4 days to work on a single piece (drafting, writing, editing) to produce content so pleasant I know would be hard to replicate.
Content production has always been tough work (with or without AI).
The point is to deliver to the best of your ability and reap the fruits of your effort in due time.
Love that
Chenell Basilio is another person who’s winning in large part by throwing a ridiculous number of hours at her topic.

Stephanie’s $20K/Month Membership Site

Published May 29, 2023 by Niall Doherty
It’s a “marketing membership for entrepreneurs” called The Pack.
Stephanie Parisi shared some info about the business in a recent interview with James Schramko
Her background is in physical therapy, and it sounds like she started off selling PT-related products online…
Stephanie discovered a passion for marketing when she started selling things online and realized she enjoyed this aspect. She draws a parallel between physical therapy and marketing, seeing as both involve meeting someone, diagnosing their problem through questions, and selling them a solution or plan.
Before launching her membership, Stephanie did two things
She launched the membership business in 2019…
In her first month of operation, Stephanie earned $400, a modest beginning that she was nevertheless excited about, given she was still new at it all. Her income steadily grew over time, and at the time of recording, she makes a monthly recurring income of $20,000.
In the interview, Stephanie says that YouTube is a key marketing channel for her, which is interesting because she only has ~5K subscribers
In a recent video, she shares several tips that helped her grow her business from $2000/month to $20K/month “in just 13 months”…
Number one: traffic flow.
This is so instrumental to growing your business. You need a steady flow of traffic coming in every single day… My favorite way to do that is YouTube. I get new leads finding me every single day because of YouTube and SEO.
But it didn’t happen overnight…
It’s gonna be hard, in the sense that you can’t go out and do one video or one reel and expect it to go viral and get your traffic flow. For me it took months of being very consistent releasing content every single day.
So you need to do the same. Pick your platform – some operate much better for gaining new leads than others – and then execute consistently.
Lastly, there’s some good mindset talk in Stephanie’s interview with James…
In terms of mindset, Stephanie advises her members to envision their ideal future selves, such as a 15K per month version, and to consider how that version would show up and make decisions in their current life.
This is not limited to financial gain but extends to personal habits, self-care, and everyday choices. And Stephanie acknowledges that moving towards this version of oneself might involve making uncomfortable decisions and pushing beyond one’s comfort zone.
Lastly, Stephanie speaks of the importance of ‘being’ rather than ‘getting’. James likens it to building a fire: one must first prepare and light it before expecting warmth.

25 Fiverr Gigs That Can Be Done Faster/Better With AI

Published May 29, 2023 by Niall Doherty
Ayush has the list on Twitter…
This is the list of the top 25 best paying gigs on Fiverr.
There’s potential to build an AI app to replace each one of them.
The top ten
Long-established Fiverr sellers are about to see a bunch of newbies on their corner, newbies who have figured out how to use AI tools to 3-20x their productivity
But as Ayush said, there are also opportunities to create apps that replace specific Fiverr gigs.
You might remember my story about Nico Jeannen in a previous newsletter…
Launched an App 3 Months Ago, Sold it for $65,000That app was MakeLogo.ai, which lets users generate logos by writing a few prompts.
Nico’s new project is Scrap.so (formerly known as Levi) which sounds pretty powerful…
I just made Levi, my first AI-mployee, capable of replacing the work of 5 assistants!
His job is to add more info to CoworkMaps.com
To find the information, he can browse coworking’s websites and email them on his own, 24/7
Once he collects new info, he’ll publish it to the database, also on its own.
The email below is the very first exchange he had with a coworking’s staff
They didn’t know it was an AI
(See the email exchange in this tweet)
Nico started pre-selling his app on May 19th, and collected $999.50 within the first 24 hours.
The same day he also posted a photo of his coworking setup in Bali
Btw, Nico isn’t some kind of coding yoda with tons of experience.
He only learned to code about a year ago
His advice for learning…
I would say taking a course to fast track the basics, then building a LOTS of apps, building stuff is the only real way to learn
That’s what I did, learned to code in May, then shipped alors of projects until some were good enough to make some $
Last week he tweeted…
I published a total of 17 apps since July 2022. That’s 1.7 app/month.
The first app sucked (augmented-reader.com), but that’s how I was able to learn to code & ship fast.
Each project will likely teach you something new about coding, marketing etc.
Ship fast and a lot

$3000/Month Converting Fahrenheit To Celsius

Published May 29, 2023 by Niall Doherty
Check out fahrenheittocelsius.org
It’s about as niche a website as you can get, all about converting Fahrenheit to Celsius.
As you’d expect, there’s a conversion calculator right there on the homepage, but they’ve also got…
A quiz: “Are You a Actually Celsius / Fahrenheit Expert?”A temperature conversion web appLiterally 1000’s of posts like this: 149 Fahrenheit to Celsius(Btw, most of those pages look auto-generated, some nice programmatic SEO going on there methinks.)
The site is mainly monetized with display ads but it’s hard to estimate how much it’s earning from those ads without knowing how much traffic it gets.
And the traffic estimates are all over the place…
66K visitors last month – Similarweb137K monthly organic traffic – Ahrefs1.4M monthly organic traffic – SE Ranking9.3M monthly organic traffic – UbersuggestI’m comfortable pegging the earnings from display ads at about $3000/month though it could be a lot more.
The domain was registered in 2016 and it looks like there wasn’t much on there until about March of 2021.
According to Ahrefs, the site still only has a domain rating of 6 (out of 100). So even 65K visitors a month is impressive for such a low DR
The creator of the site is Mark Muller, who writes…
I am a freelance web designer from Switzerland, and coding has been my hobby since young.
I specialize in helping visitors how to do things with confidence, for example people converting units, doing math, writing numbers and checks correctly, etc.
He lists some of his other websites here…
Logarithm.appLeastCommonMultiple.orgGreatestCommonFactor.orgThey all look similar to FahrenheitToCelsius.org, but seem to get barely any traffic. Maybe they will do well in due time, adding up to a nice little online empire for Mark.
My main takeaway from this: it’s possible to go super-deep on even the most niche of topics.
That doesn’t mean you can make good money in any niche online, because some niches can definitely earn you more than others.But if Mark can create an 8000+ page website on converting Fahrenheit to Celsius, and earn a decent income from it, then the sky’s the limit

She’d Earned $5 Million By Age 30 (But…)

Published May 25, 2023 by Niall Doherty
Ever heard of Adelaide Kane?
She’s an Australian actress probably best known for playing Mary, Queen of Scots in a show called Reign.
Here she is in a 1-minute video revealing how much she has earned and spent over the years.
Apparently she got paid about $20,000 an episode for Reign. Having starred in 78 episodes, that works out to…
10% goes to her agent10% goes to her manager5% goes to her lawyer5% goes to her business manager30% goes to taxes$1.56 million for four years of work… assuming that I’ve made $5 million in my entire career since I started working at 16, here is how that breaks down…
That leaves her with about $2.2 million over the last 14 years…
Which if you average it out comes down to $178,000-ish a year which would be fine, a good wage. Except I have to pay rent in major cities, sometimes two cities at once.
I have to pay a publicist, which is usually $2000 to $3000 a month. When I’ve had social media teams that’s been around $2000 a month. Stylists run anywhere from $700 to $1500 an outfit, and hair and makeup is about $1000 [a month].
Even with all those expenses she’s still earning a good living, but nowhere near as good as “$20,000 an episode” would lead you to believe.
This is also common with VC startups: some get acquired for $100’s of millions and it’s easy to assume that the founders end up super rich. But often they only own a small percentage of the company by the time it sells
Back to Adelaide Kane, and apparently she had a follow-up video where she said…
Every actor I know saves as much as humanly possible, because most of us go for months or sometimes years at a time between jobs.
And we do get residuals, but… So, I’m fine, but my savings won’t last forever, do you know what I mean?
Adelaide has built up her own media empire online over the years…
Instagram: 2.1M followersTikTok: 1.3M followersTwitter: 319K followersYouTube: 275K subscribersPretty smart way to mitigate the ups and downs of an acting career.
With that kind of following she could earn a good living from ads and sponsorships if needed
