About our 31-factor editorial review processHow does Residual Payments help you make money?

David and Patricia apparently teach you how to become an online payment processor (or digital payment agent). Famous payment processors you may have heard of include Stripe and PayPal.

Residual Payments is all about doing the same thing as those companies, but on a smaller scale.

As Patricia explained on the Smart Passive Income podcast…

We’re teaching people how to set up and become brokers. So basically having their own micropayment agency, which means you right now tomorrow could go out, take the course, take the program, and then immediately turn to anyone that you know, that has a business, including yourself, and actually board the account and make residual income off. People just didn’t realize that there’s somebody in between.

Listen to the full podcast interview here for more info…

How much does Residual Payments cost?

The listed price for The Digital Payments Revolution – which is the first step of a huge funnel – costs just $1.

However, many people claim that this will lead you into a sales pitch with the Carlins. Depending on what they manage to sell you, this may cost around $5000, if not more.

Residual Payments Discount?

I’ve searched high and low for a discount or coupon code, but have yet to find mention of one anywhere. There’s no place to enter a discount code on the Residual Payments checkout.

Sorry guys: it’s the whole dollar or nothing.

Refund Policy

There is a 30-day “no questions asked” refund policy for The Digital Payments Revolution. That is just for the $1 part of the course.

We couldn’t find any certified info about upsell refunds, leading us to believe that all upsell sales are final.

About our 31-factor editorial review processHow does Officeless Agency help you make money?

Abdul’s and Chance’s course aims to teach you the business of lead generation.

Lead Generation is when you find prospective customers (eg. people who need to hire a landscaper) online via paid ads or social media. You then sell these “leads” to a related business (eg. a local landscaper) for a fee.

Learn more about lead generationHow much does Officeless Agency cost?

The listed price of Abdul Samad’s and Chance Anthony’s lead gen course is $19.

Keep in mind that you’ll probably need a little extra money to spend on various software and tools (i.e. web hosting and domain software) to make full use of the course.

Officeless Agency Discount?

The course is allegedly discounted from $497 to just $19.

I’ve yet to find any further discount for Officeless Agency, but I don’t think it can go any lower than this.

Refund Policy

The sales page for Officeless Agency specifies a 30-day money-back guarantee…

Take 30 days to go through the Officeless Agency Quick-Start Program RISK-FREE. When you do, I GUARANTEE you’ll believe this program is worth at least 100X more than what you paid for it… otherwise we’ll return your payment.

I haven’t seen anyone reporting issues getting a refund on their purchase, so you can rest easy with this guarantee.

You’d sell the product directly to the customer, usually for a one-time fee.

PublishingLife Discount?

I’ve searched high and low for a discount or coupon code for PublishingLife, but have yet to find mention of one anywhere.

Sorry guys: it’s full-price or nothing.

Refund Policy

The refund policy for PublishingLife is quite complicated.

According to the terms of service listed on the PublishingLife website, there are three conditions for the course’s money-back guarantee:

You must list an audiobook on Audible that’s at least two hours long.You must get at least 50 reviews for your book on both Amazon and Audible.You must attend two 1-on-1 coaching calls.

To be eligible for a refund, you need to meet these criteria within 180 days of buying the course.

According to the same website, you’re also ineligible for a refund for any reason that has nothing to do with the above criteria. Some of these are:

You changed your mindYou lost motivationYou have an emergency family situationYou have unexpected health or financial issues

If you received the $500 cash bonus and you get a refund, you’ll get $500 less. That’s $1495 if you paid in one go, or $2497 if you paid in installments. 

Given all that, I’m inclined to believe it’s quite difficult to get a refund on your purchase of PublishingLife

Failed His Way To $720K/YearBlog Growth Engine$8K Revenue In 1 MonthHis (Almost) $10,000+ Mistake$4500/Month Voiceover Acting22-Year-Old Earned $12K Last Month$500K Content Marketing BizBest Courses AwardsLatest MomentosFailed His Way To $720K/Year

Omar Deryan writes about trying to make money online back in 2017…

During that year, I have tried and tested various business models, in this order: blogging, affiliate marketing, dropshipping, Amazon FBA, and Airbnb investment.

He managed to earn $500/month profit from Amazon, but that wasn’t enough

However, Omar joined lots of online communities that year and “started receiving requests to write, optimize and translate product descriptions for Shopify (Dropshippers) and Amazon sellers.”

He pivoted to a service business and in December that year earned $7000

Fast-forward to today, and he’s evolved the business into OJ Digital Solutions, a $60,000/month agency that helps Amazon sellers create effective product listings.

Blog Growth Engine

We’ve just published a review of Adam Enfroy’s course: Blog Growth Engine.

Armed with access to the training and feedback from 20 students, I’m confident we nailed the rating

One student referred to BGE as “a huge deconstruction of Adam Enfroy’s personal use case,” and that’s a good way of putting it. It’s basically Adam showing you exactly what he did to grow his personal blog to $100,000+ per month in only 2 years.

It’s also got something I haven’t seen from other blogging or affiliate marketing courses: an entire module on how to sell your skills as a freelancer.

I like that because it can take a long time to earn a good income from your own blog, but you can be earning plenty along the way by freelancing the skills you’re learning

Anyway, check out our full review of BGE here.

(And if you’ve taken the training yourself, let me know if you agree with our rating!)

$8K Revenue In 1 Month

Tony Dinh reports that he earned $8000 in about a month from launching this screenshot app

Tony says he had some “unfair advantages” in building and launching the app…

40K followers on Twitter.2,000 newsletter subscribers.Skills to build native macOS and iOS apps.

But those are advantages anyone can work to achieve over time.

What I like most about Tony’s story is how he came up with the idea for the app: he figured out a way to create nice screenshots and got numerous compliments about them on Twitter.

Based on that interest, he created the app

Goes to show the power of building an audience. Once you have a significant following, it can be very easy to test your ideas.

His (Almost) $10,000+ Mistake

Nathan Barry writes how he once made $37,000 in one month from selling an ebook

He reckons a big key to the success of that launch was having multiple price points…

I created three pricing tiers for my product, The App Design Handbook.

The Book + ResourcesThe Book + Resources + VideosThe Complete Package

It made me an extra $15,000.

See Nathan’s full thread for more details and nuance.

If you’re already selling a product yourself, could you try tier-based pricing?

This could also be a service you offer to established online businesses, pitch them on testing it out for their single-priced products

$4500/Month Voiceover Acting

Check out this interview with Dom and Nicole Draper from TheVoiceoverCouple.com.

They joined Fiverr in 2017 – see Nicole’s profile here – and Dom was paid only $10 for his first voiceover gig.

Nowadays

they charge $50 per 100 words of voiceover work. Dom said he can knock out 100 words in 5-10 minutes with editing, so it’s a great hourly rate.

Freelance voiceover work allowed Dom to quit his job last year, while Nicole still has her 9-to-5 and does voiceover work on the side.

They still get a lot of work via Fiverr but Dom also mentioned a couple of voiceover marketplaces that are “a step up from Fiverr” in terms of job quality…

Voices.comVoice12322-Year-Old Earned $12K Last Month

That’s Stephen Wise, as detailed here

I made $11,750  from freelancing last month working 30 hours a week.

I’m 22, have no degree, and dropped out of college on my 18th birthday.

Sounds like Stephen taught himself how to build Webflow websites mainly via YouTube, and now offers that service to clients

He also has a nifty 17-minute video breaking down the simple framework he used to build a successful online business.

Related: €8K MRR in 17 days as a Webflow freelancer

$500K Content Marketing Biz

Superpath.co describes itself as a Slack community for content marketers.

But it’s actually a fascinating business that runs on $500/month no-code tools and pulls in $500,000 in annual revenue

In a recent interview, founder Jimmy Daly says he started Superpath in 2020 and they monetize in 4 ways…

Job board: companies pay to post jobsPaid community membershipSelling ads in their newsletter and communityMarketplace: “we match companies with vetted content creators and take a cut of the payments”

Jimmy built his business to serve content marketers, but I suspect you could do similar for many other professions. 

The key for Jimmy was to build an audience first…

Before going into this, I had an audience of 4k subscribers on my newsletter and between 5-6k Twitter followers. I had spent ten years in content marketing, and written hundreds of articles. I had a reputation in the content world, and that helped Superpath get going.

$10K/Month Pitch Deck Templates$500,000 Revenue By Age 221 Year to $14,000 Monthly Profit$7000/Month Cambodia Design AgencyHis Niche Site Earns $800K/Year$90K/Month Wordle WebsiteFirst $5K Month as a SolopreneurJune Finance ReportThis Will Make You More Money$10K/Month Pitch Deck Templates

Maximilian Fleitmann writes about buying BaseTemplates in 2019 and growing it to $10,000 per month in revenue (some months as much as $25,000)

The site sells “handmade pitch deck & fundraising templates” for startups and entrepreneurs.

The templates are simple digital products that sell for $29 to $99 a pop. Max also sells a related online course for $179 and a bundle of all products for $249.

Max initially struggled to grow the business but says everything changed with this launch on ProductHunt a couple of years back

What kind of templates have you used in the past? What templates do you wish existed? Could something you’ve created in the past be packaged and sold as a template?

$500,000 Revenue By Age 22

Some dude named Mateo Price recently sold the YouTube analytics company that he started in college.

The sales price is undisclosed, but at the time of sale – just a year after Mateo had graduated – the company had apparently pulled in $500K in revenue while helping YouTubers like Ali Abdaal and AJ Lapray “generate more than $6 billion in revenue”

I love the origin story of the business…

Price sent a cold outreach email to Jesser, a YouTuber he followed who’s known for basketball and challenge videos, and offered to help him increase his engagement and brand awareness. Price didn’t have formal experience in this space… but he knew social media and understood Jesser’s audience.

So basically Mateo reached out to a content creator he liked, offered to help grow his audience, figured out how to do just that, then leveraged that success to land more clients.

But as detailed in another article, it wasn’t quite that easy: Mateo had to follow up with Jesser a couple of times before getting a response, and worked for free initially to prove himself

1 Year to $14,000 Monthly Profit

Dashiell Bark-Huss writes about building Wish Tender, “a universal wishlist and gift registry platform, specially designed for influencers and public personalities.”

Dash is a self-taught coder and it took her a year to code Wish Tender, then another year to get it to $14K/month profit

That sounds fast, but in the day-to-day of working on a business, progress often feels slow…

In the beginning, progress was slow. I almost quit several times thinking WishTender was a bad idea. But it really just needed more time. So I’m glad I found the patience to give WishTender a chance. This is the most money I’ve ever made. It’s so bizarre to go from being a wantrepreneur to an entrepreneur because part of me never thought I could do it.

Dash considers Wish Tender to be her first project, but just for fun she had previously coded up a way to send a text message with her eye movements (seriously)

A free course she found helpful to learn code: Javascript30 by Wes Bos

$7000/Month Cambodia Design Agency

Vathana Nguon is a self-taught WordPress developer from Cambodia who has grown his Anachak Design agency to $7000/month.

(Btw, the average salary in Cambodia is less than $1000/month.)

Vathana tells Starter Story that he learned web development online after high school, gradually built his freelance business, and eventually evolved into an agency.

Focusing on a specific niche has been key for Vathana…

I wouldn’t be successful if I targeted everyone who needs a website… While every other web designer offered website design to everyone who needed one, I only worked on the tourism marke… I’ve earned a reputation as the go-to guy for tourism business branding and websites, which is exactly what I want to do to stand out in a crowded industry.

His Niche Site Earns $800K/Year

He is Matt Giovanisci and the site is Swim University

Matt opened up an AMA on Twitter earlier this week.

His reply to what he’d do differently if he were starting the business from scratch today…

I wish I would have focused on writing better posts instead of spending time building backlinks in the early days. It was a wasted effort.

I wish I would have sold my own products earlier. And been consistent with my YT effort since I started it in 2013.

Matt now considers monetizing with affiliates and display ads “child’s play.” He wrote more about that a few months back: Death to Affiliate Marketing

$90K/Month Wordle Website

That’s WordPlay.com

The first version was built and launched in a weekend last February by Dharmesh Shah.

Dharmesh revealed on a recent episode of the My First Million podcast that 9.5 million people have visited the site so far. SimilarWeb estimates 1.8 million total visits in the last month alone.

He put Google Adsense on it for a while and the earnings worked out to $90,000 per month.

Then Dharmesh took the ads off because he so happens to be the billionaire co-founder of Hubspot and $90K/month was irrelevant to him

After hearing Dharmesh’s story I got curious about Wordle in other languages and looked up the top sites for…

Spanish – wordle.danielfrg.com – 30.6M visitsGerman – wordle.at – 5.4M visitsFrench – wordle.louan.me – 2.4M visits

So each of those are apparently getting more traffic than Dharmesh’s site, and could all be earning more than $90K/month just from display ads.

First $5k Month as a Solopreneur

Moncef Belyamani quit his job in October last year. In May, he announced that he crossed the $5000/month mark as a solopreneur for the first time

Currently, I have two sources of income: Ruby on Mac, and a 2-year fixed-price contract for maintaining a Rails application. I only get $1050/month from the latter, so the bulk of my income is from Ruby on Mac.

Ruby on Mac makes it easy to set up the Ruby programming environment on Mac. 

Moncef writes about the tweaks he’s made to his sales page to improve conversions, and has tweeted that customers find him “mostly due to SEO.”

Her App Made $5000+ in a Week​​1-Minute Strategies To Boost Sales0 to $325K Revenue in 18 MonthsAre NFTs All Scams?$1M After 3 Years of Self-EmploymentBroke Student to 6-Figure FreelancerThe Anatomy of a Viral LinkedIn Post$1,400 in Pre-Sales (Digital Product)Momentos$250 GiveawayHer App Made $5000+ in a Week

Serial maker Alyssa X writes about her experience building and launching a MacOS app called Later, which clears and restores your workspace with a couple of clicks.

(Check out the slick demo of the app on the landing page.)

Alyssa had the idea for the product at the end of January, built and launched it over the next two months, and by March 21st had earned $6600 in revenue

What I love most about Alyssa’s story is that she figured out a ton while building and marketing the product. For example, she learned that “using Swift in Xcode was the best option” for building the app, so she went and learned that on the fly.

When it came to marketing, she saw another maker had success on Reddit so she created an account and gave that a try.

Alyssa has over 6,000 upvotes across her 8 launches on ProductHunt, but it looks like few have been as financially successful as Later. Still, it’s clear that she greatly expands her experience and skillset with every product she builds, making each subsequent launch more and more likely to succeed

​​1-Minute Strategies To Boost Sales

Josh Spector lists ten of them

My favorite is the 9-word email…

Send an email to previous leads that says:
“Are you still looking to ____?”
It re-starts a conversation.

If you’re a freelancer, set a reminder to do this with previous clients every few months. Or prospective clients that faded away a while back.

(Btw, lots of gold in Josh’s newsletter, one of my faves. Subscribe here.)

0 to $325K Revenue in 18 Months

Muntasir Rashid is a co-founder of Postpace, an AI-powered SEO writing tool

They launched the company from Bangladesh in November 2020 and Muntasir has shared the following updates along the way…

180 days of growth — from 0 to $146k revenue without any funding365 days of growth — bootstrapping from 0 to $225k revenue in the first year18 months of growth — relocating Postpace from Dhaka to Paris

Muntasir and his co-founder Moin had previously run a SaaS development agency, so they had lots of experience building SaaS solutions.

But from reading Muntasir’s updates it’s clear that they still had to experiment a ton while building Postpace to figure out what worked best.

One thing that has worked well for them is “launching” the product endlessly…

Celebrating a feature launch is a great way to build community and traffic. Break the cycle of boring feature announcements and actually treat every feature launch as a product launch. Trust me, when it comes to SaaS, you can’t launch enough times. We have launched more than 80 times so far

(Btw, you can get a lifetime deal on Postspace for only $79 on AppSumo.)

Are NFTs All Scams?

The Freakonomics podcast has put out a smart 3-part series about crypto called What Can Blockchain Do For You?

The episodes:

Does the Crypto Crash Mean the Blockchain Is Over?Are N.F.T.s All Scams?What Problems Does Crypto Solve, Anyway?

Also a good listen is a recent episode of This American Life called The Reluctant Explorer, about a guy who became a multimillionaire in a week and a half after an “NFT archaeologist” contacted him about an old website he’d created

$1M After 3 Years of Self-Employment

That’s Daniel Vassallo’s story.

And he’s done it via multiple income streams: an online course, a paid community, info products, freelancing, affiliate marketing…

In the same thread he shares 3 forms of self-employment income for developers…

SaaS: Takes a long time for meaningful returns.
Info Products: High volatility, unpredictable, potential for extremely high ROI.
Freelancing: Predictable, stable, choose your own hours.

Broke Student to 6-Figure Freelancer

An inspiring story about Komal Ahuja, who was a broke 20-year-old professional dancer studying literature when the pandemic hit

She started writing online “about anything and everything” and eventually stumbled into a freelance gig when a company DM’d her via LinkedIn.

It’s been a tough couple of years for Komal – “there were days I had to cry because of so much criticism” – but now she’s earning $100,000+ per year as a freelance B2B SaaS writer

She recommends HubSpot’s free content marketing course, and taking on subcontracting work to learn from more experienced writers…

“(Working under writers) enhances your learning so much more than you could ever learn by yourself by watching any online videos. They criticize you based on their experience. They have a lot to add, which can actually act as invaluable feedback.”

The Anatomy of a Viral LinkedIn Post

If I was looking for freelance clients these days, I’d be spending quite a bit of time on LinkedIn.

I’d look to build an audience there by using these tips from Justin Welsh

He provides a template for this opener that racked up 4.7 million impressions…

The 9 to 5 is getting pummeled.
The great resignation is growing faster than ever.
And I love it. Why?

$1,400 in Pre-Sales (Digital Product)

Gene Maryushenko writes about his experience pre-selling a digital product via Gumroad, to the tune of $1400

The product is Tailwind CSS React Application Components. 

Yeah, I’m not sure what that is either, but no worries. The important takeaway is that Gene was able to leverage his audience of ~5000 followers on Twitter for the pre-sale.

Gene’s advice if you don’t already have an audience…

I would start hanging out where your potential customers hang out – Facebook groups, Slack channels, here on indie hackers by providing something of value. Your goal is to tease out what’s coming, but also to build rapport and trust. You want people to be familiar with who you are before you even show them anything for sale.

Also, this tweet from Gene, about shutting down another of his products, speaks to the highs and lows of entrepreneurship

That’s CopySmiths

Kat McKinnon spent 20 years running an ecommerce agency, but then…

… in 2019 I noticed something wild was happening with a handful of client blogs we had created.

In one blog, organic traffic blew up from 800 to 150,000+ unique views per month, over 15 months. And for another client, we added $250,000 to their monthly online sales in 6 months, solely from their blog traffic.

So Kat shut down her ecom agency and started a content agency instead, which has grown to $40,000/month in ~2 years

Here’s one of the first articles her agency produced, for a client that makes pens: 35 Handwriting Styles We Wish We Had

According to Kat, that article “continues to bring in $10,000s in revenue” for the client.

This 1 Book Changed Everything

Regarding the success of CopySmiths, Kat writes…

It wouldn’t have been possible if I hadn’t read a particular book that utterly changed my business life.

That book is Work The System by Sam Carpenter

You can get it for a few bucks on Kindle or read/listen to it for free with a 60-day trial of Scribd.

BiggerPockets also has a good podcast episode about the book.

$100,000/Month Helping You Tweet

Tweet Hunter is a suite of tools to help you build and monetize an audience on Twitter.

Co-founder JK Molina tweeted about the milestone along with a photo of himself at a local bazaar. The caption…

Me selling perfume and shirts at the local bazaar in 2017. That day I sold 1 shirt and made $14. Today I make over $3,000 a day.

Tweet Hunter has only been around since May 2021

Fascinating write-up here about how they grew the company to $20K MRR. One of their primary strategies has been to create lots of useful and/or fun free tools for Twitter.

For example:

A recent article from Cal Newport in The New Yorker: The Rise of the Internet’s Creative Middle Class

Deep in there Cal drops this nugget

According to an advertising agency I consulted… a weekly podcast that generates thirty thousand downloads per episode should be able to reach Kelly’s target of generating a hundred thousand dollars a year in income.

I’ll emphasize the word should. 

A podcast with 30,000 weekly downloads doesn’t automatically earn you $100,000 a year. But you should be able to sell enough ad spots at that level to crack six figures

Other Ways To Monetize A Podcast

Selling ads ain’t the only way.

Many podcasts are used more as a marketing channel, providing stand-alone value with regular reminders that they have related products or services for sale

Patreon is another option. Select examples via this Gaps article…

For Crying Out Loud: $10,680+ per monthDoughboys: $11,390+ per monthTrue Crime Obsessed: $247,325+ per month

My favorite example, from the same article…

There’s literally a podcast making over $2,000 per month giving commentary on every single episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

(Actually, it’s more like $5000+ per month now )

Another way to monetize is via Glow.fm, which seems to be the Substack of the podcast world.

Glow itself reportedly sold to Libsyn for $1.2 million a year ago.

Here’s How Much Money People Make

Salary Transparent Street is on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube with more than 1 million combined followers

They post short interviews with all kinds of professionals revealing how much money they make.

A few I picked out from browsing their TikTok…

Fortnite gamer illusion: $2500 to $4000/monthFounder of CreatorML.com (tools for YouTubers): $55,000 in first 6 monthsMiami Comedy: 6 figures just from social mediaFounder of Fourplay dating app: $0 so farCopywriter: $80k full-time job + $35k freelancing

They’ve also produced this massive spreadsheet listing hundreds of professionals, their location, and how much money they make.

Salary Transparent Street is a great concept in itself. Best I can tell, they only started back in April and have already built up that massive following. Their videos are short and simple interviews, very little editing, and the interviewer rarely appears on screen herself.

And there are plenty of ways they can monetize

What other niche might this approach work well for?

How Much Money Do Freelancers Make?

Lots of answers to that question in the comments here: Freelancers and consultants, what are your rates?

Including…

Web developer: $125/hourMarketing manager: $475/month for max 4 hours of weekly consulting.Web and app prototyping: $3-5K per weekDesigner: logos for $4-5K , websites for $10K+Branding service: $150/hourLanding page service: $123-200/hourVirtual assistant: $50/hour

Also a great comment there from full-stack developer Rohan Malhotra, which highlights how you can raise your rates steadily over time…

I’ve been freelancing for the past 4 years. In the beginning, it was peanuts compared to now. Example: I was charging about $10 per hour for a year and a half. Than $40 and now I charge upward of $100 per hour…

I think it is just about if you can provide value. Companies, at least good one, have the capabilities and willingness to pay your price so long as you can provide results.

0 to $15K/Month in 1 Year

Sam Short announced this milestone back in April…

Typeshare just hit $15,000 MRR
A year ago, I hadn’t even made $1 online.
Amazing what can happen when you launch something and slowly improve it!

Typeshare is a writing platform that lets you write content once and have it automatically formatted and posted to different platforms (eg. Medium, Twitter, LinkedIn).

More recently, Sam announced that Typeshare has hit $21,000 in monthly recurring revenue

Although Sam went from 0 to $21K/month pretty fast, he notes that he was actually “trying things for like 5 years before” he made that first $1.

In terms of marketing, Sam credits “mostly Twitter and great flywheels (Ship30for30)”

James Schramko’s Diagnostic Service

Below excerpt from the book Work Less, Make More by Jame Schramko. He did it for his SEO agency, but many service-based businesses could do similar.

We charged people $20 to look at their website and provide a report on what state it was in, how well it was optimised, and what they should change. 

We then said we’d credit the $20 towards any of our recurring SEO services. The diagnostic service was really effective for us, converting more than half the people who bought a report into an ongoing recurring program.
