From Freelancer to $275K/Year E-Learning Business

Emily ReaganCourse Creator $275,000 annual revenue

Emily Reagan tells her story here

She started freelancing online many years ago as a way to earn consistent income while moving a lot as a military spouse…

My main services were all marketing-related in content marketing and marketing funnels.

When she had more clients than she could handle…

I started a micro agency and trained 8 women to work with me.

But she still hit a limit with how many clients she could take on

So…

Since I already had the training done and wanted to help more women find flexible work, I offered the training to the public and passed the job leads on to them.

Now her business is mainly training digital marketing assistants and helping them get hired.

Nice progression

And a good reminder that freelancing is an excellent starter business that can lead to big things.

Could you freelance one of those?

Quick Website Earned Him a Quick $25,000

John RushFounder of AllGPTs $25,000 approximate revenue

John Rush shares how he built AllGPTs, a directory site for GPTs…

I was watching the OpenAI demo day… From the moment they said “Custom GPT” I went to GoDaddy and bought the domain. 

It took me 2 hours to build and launch a directory of all the custom GPTs I could find.

 Overnight it went viral, becoming the most popular GPT directory.

That was last November

John says he made a quick $10K selling ads on the site.

Then the hype died down and he sold it a few months ago for $15,000

He used his own Unicorn Platform to build the site.

How fast he identified the trend and launched the site was key

Use the following to keep an eye on trends, try find one that would work well for a quick directory site…

$1000 in 10 Days Despite a Tiny Audience

Firdavs AbdunazarovFramer Template Creator $1000 revenue in 21 days

Firdavs Abdunazarov tweeted back in March

I’m a Framer template creator and I launched my latest template for productized agencies 10 days ago. In this timeframe, I made 21 sales and $1,000 in revenue. 

I have a tiny Twitter/X following and my template became featured in the Framer marketplace only yesterday – 10 days after launch.

He then laid out 7 steps to replicate his success.

A few months later he tweeted…

we are still so early. [Framer is] a growing market and it feels great to ride the wave.

I’m excited to see where we end up in a couple of years.

Similar stories we’ve covered recently…

This Template Earned Him $10,000 in 4 Months$20,000 in 6 Months With No Marketing

So yeah: lots of opportunity in the Framer template market.

You could also apply Firdavs’ 7 steps to create and sell other kinds of templates

Use These 2 Tools To Build a $10K/Month Business

James Brooks tweets about JournoRobo…

I’ve released the tool I use to get mentions & backlinks from publications like Business Insider, The Daily Mail, The Times, and Ideal Home

That reminded me of a similar service: PressPulse AI.

I wrote before how the founder earns $8000/month using the tool to get results for clients

I’m sure lots of people could do similar.

Sign up for both tools and you could become a link building ninja…

JournoRobo = $30/monthPressPulse = $25-80/month

So about $100/month combined.

Meanwhile, link building services like this one charge clients $3-20K per month

I reckon you could start off charging much less and still build a $10K/month business without too much trouble.

Canadian Guy Has Earned $4 Million as an Ethical Hacker

Eric HeadEthical Hacker $35,000 average monthly revenue

A post on Linkedin…

Congratulations Eric Head for reaching $4 million in bounty payouts!

The post is by HackerOne, a website where companies like Facebook and PayPal can hire hackers to find security vulnerabilities

A hacker who identifies a vulnerability gets paid a bounty.

Eric’s HackerOne profile shows he’s been on the platform since 2015.

And that $4 million announcement came about a year ago, around the same time as this story…

Hackers Have Earned More Than $300 Million on the HackerOne Platform

Crunching the numbers, Eric has earned about $450,000 per year / $35,000 per month since joining HackerOne

He said in a 2019 interview on YouTube…

I got into hacking when my my daughter was born

I assume he was coding long before that, though his LinkedIn suggests he’s self-taught.

If you’re into coding or eager to learn, keep ethical hacking in mind as a way to make money

She Earns $1M/Year Selling Personalized Jewelry

Karen FrederickFounder of Kole Jax Designs $1+ Million annual revenue

Karen Frederick is the founder of Kole Jax Designs

Launched in 2012, they make and sell personalized jewelry and accessories.

Apparently the business now earns $1+ million per year

How Karen got started as a stay-at-home mom with 2 kids…

I ordered supplies and taught myself to cut glass and solder by watching YouTube videos. 

I opened an Etsy shop and took custom orders. I published my business page on Facebook, posted every new design I created and offered giveaways.

Sounds like the personalization was key here

Reminds me of another story we covered, selling personalized wallets and pens…

Father + Son + Personalized Gifts = ​​$100K/Month

I asked ChatGPT to suggest other personalized items you could learn to make and sell without spending lots of time or money.

Got back these 17 suggestions

If I was going to explore this further myself, I’d look deeper into personalized candles or coasters.

Learned This Skill in 3 Weeks, Now Earns $5000/Month

Hope Himel-BensonWeb Designer $5000 monthly revenue

YouTube interview with Hope Himel-Benson…

From Zero to $5,000 Design Projects in 3 MONTHS…

Hope builds Squarespace websites for clients

But she started with zero experience…

I cannot sell what I don’t use, so I knew I had to build my own website. So I took 3 weeks, I built my website in Squarespace, I launched it in December

Then she landed her first client in January, offering “very special low pricing that would never ever be offered again.”

Hope partnered with Squarespace premium template designers, and customizes those templates to build unique websites for clients.

Her pricing starts at $3200 for a 2-week project

Sounds like a lot of people could follow in her footsteps.

Do it with Squarespace or other site building software like Shopify, Webflow or Wix.

Take a few weeks, build a nice site for yourself, then offer the same service to others

$150K+ From A No-Code Project He Built For Himself

Marc MontagneFounder of WatchAuctionHQ $150,000+ estimated revenue

Marc Montagne writes in a recent interview…

In 2021 I decided to launch WatchAuctionHQ, a database of watch auctions results, simply because I needed it myself as a collector.

He built it with no-code tools…

I was able to have a running prototype in less than two months by working on it during nights and weekends.

After 3 years, Marc had grown it into “a five-figure ARR product” and sold for 6 figures

So he likely earned $150K+ from the project overall.

Got me thinking: perhaps you could build an auction monitoring site for another niche.

Niches with thriving auction markets include

ArtAntiquesClassic carsComic booksSports memorabiliaRare books and manuscriptsCoinsStampsWines and spirits

That last one reminds me of another story we covered…

$12K/Month from Scottish Whisky Competitions
