hey miles Becker here miles Becker calm
and in this video I'm going to answer
the question hey miles if you had
absolutely no money and you were
starting over from scratch what would
you do and the important thing to
remember as I move forward and kind of
explain what I would do in my approach
here is that I've been through this and
I've actually been through this more
times than I would like to admit I can
think of at least three separate times
when I've kind of had my upswing go and
thought my business was taking off and
then BOOM I wasn't building a list and
the terms of service changed I lost
everything and I went right back to
ground zero or I was doing the real
estate investing game I was bringing in
leaves and boom the economy tanked we
lost our last business where we lost our
last house excuse me in lost $60,000 or
the closing company that I was building
and things were going great things were
going great boom I ran out of money I
couldn't make any sales I made a couple
of bad decisions on items I purchased I
got stuck with a bunch of inventory and
that fell totally flat so with that said
where would I start and let's go
literally no money at all the first
thing I would do is get a job and every
single time that I've had one of these
kind of follow my face moments the first
thing I did was I went out and found a
job that match my skill set I've done
customer service work for a long time so
getting a job at a call center to do
customer service not stuff I love to do
but it pays the bills and it gets cash
flow going so obviously getting a job
summing based on your skills I've waited
tables before I spent years in the table
weight in industry so I've done that
kind of work and I would go straight
there number two what I would do is I
would hit up eBay and I would sell
absolutely everything that is not bolted
your phone it makes it so easy to just
slang stuff and I've sold at one point I
was buying and collecting like antique
baseball gloves like baseball gloves
from the 1920's 1930's like the four
finger gloves and the old flat catcher
glove I don't know why I thought it was
cool I decided to buy a bunch of them at
one point
needed some cash liquidated all of them
my old baseball cards when I was a kid
liquidated all of them like and
literally everything and if you don't
have anything if you're like mom
at all you can potentially work a deal
with your parents or whoever you're with
and say hey I'll take all this stuff
that's in the garages nobody cares about
I'll list it I'll give you 50% if I can
keep 50% after the cost I'll do all the
work and what's cool about that is it
gives you some exercise in the process
of actually transacting online right if
you make your sale on eBay and you make
a little bit of money you actually
technically just made money online and
you can shift that belief of this is
difficult or I don't know how to do this
now what I would do if I made $100 in my
pocket I would go get web hosting and
install my first WordPress account and I
would begin the process of affiliate
marketing through WordPress if I didn't
make exactly $100 or enough to start on
the web I would take the money I made I
would go to the local dollar store or to
local thrift store or to local garage
sales and I would look around for things
that I know about that I can flip on
eBay and make some more money and I
would literally hustle up cash I would
do whatever it took
I would work Fridays and Saturdays and
Friday nights I'd be at the dollar store
scanning things literally you can scan
things with the eBay app on your phone
and it'll tell you this is how much that
sells for it if you scan something in a
dollar store that's two dollars and
fifty cents and it's selling all day
long on eBay for $12.50 you can buy 20
of those and you have a chance to make
$200 right there
in order for flipping those when you go
too deep into investing in this because
we don't know what the sales volume is
right away but I would literally be on
the lookout for things in my local area
whether it's at thrift stores the dollar
store or garage sales and again that I
know about if you're into like old video
games and you're really hit with like
the old school Nintendo and you know
that the the gold Zelda cartridge is
worth more than the other or whatnot I
don't know what I'm talking about
but if you know those things great go
scout it out and find those big hits
that nobody else knows about because
people have garage sales there just get
rid of their junk right they just want
it out so they're at bare-bones prices
but if you put that on a global or a
national kind of audience through eBay
you have the potential to make some good
cash so I would get a little flipping
business going on the side right I'm
also working my jail be to get some cash
flow going right and then
as I said I would get hosting a domain
name and I would start building my first
affiliate marketing website the reason
I'm doing this is like this much for
making money as an affiliate marketer
and it's this much for learning the
skill of how to work with WordPress and
I would then marg into what I call
marketing arbitrage what is marketing
arbitrage marketing arbitrage is like
the business model I use when I quit my
last day job but my actual website my
wife and my website wasn't making enough
money for us to live on by itself
Marketing arbitrage is what I did and
essentially I sold people WordPress
websites in the local community but I
didn't build the website I had people in
India and I had people in the
Philippines for five to ten dollars per
hour doing everything from graphics
design layout design the web development
installing WordPress configuring
WordPress I had them doing everything
right and I would sell those services
for twenty-five to fifty dollars per
hour and I was paying between five and
ten twelve dollars an hour for those
services I was hiring people on
upwork.com and I was literally knocking
on doors in my local community to sell
sites my first two or three websites I
sold were like 250 to 500 dollar website
designs I did not charge all that much
and again real quick kind of a little
twist in here you need to have one theme
that you can rely on
I recommend thrive themes and you would
get the thrive themes they've got like
an agency level and the agency level
means that you're legally allowed to use
thrive themes and the thrive themes kind
of themes and they're plugins for
clients so what you would do is what I
did is I would go to local Chamber of
Commerce mixers I would go to the
Chamber meetings I would go to the local
BNI group meetings I would find
essentially every meetup comm I go on
meetup.com I'll find the WordPress
meetup site find the marketing meetup
the local business a small business
owner meetups I go to hiking groups and
I would just talk to people I'm self
teaching myself internet marketing I'm
an internet marketer I'm learning how to
do internet marketing do you know
anybody who needs web help I'm trying to
get some experience
and I'm always about doing the first
view at a very low expensive rate all
while I'm building my personal site or
my first affiliate site so that first
one I'm building on my own gives me
enough hands-on experience to understand
what I'm doing what to click what goes
where so when I outsource it I know what
to tell people and I know how the job
should get done because I've done it and
then when I outsource it for other
people or if you don't want to pay
anybody to outsource it great hustle it
up and handle it yourself totally doable
right it might take who cares to be able
to make 10 $12 an hour on the first job
your second one it'll get easier your
third one it'll get easier
and if you keep hustling and flipping
things on the side and if you keep
hustle with your affiliate marketing
business you're going to have a number
of different income streams coming in at
a relatively quick pace right and this
is what I did for a very long time I
believe I was about 3 to 4 years
operating in this kind of methodology
and what I would do is once I brought
somebody on and built a website for them
I would look and say hey do you need
rack cards do you need brochures do you
need a new logo do you need graphics
work if they did great I would build it
out I would offer I bid it out at 25 to
50 dollars an hour thirty five forty
dollars an hour which is a great deal
for people in the US and then I would
form it out on job boards like fiber or
up work and I would have it done to
where I'm making what's in between
that's the arbitrage you charge us
prices on one side and you pay Filipino
pesos on the other side you make what's
in the middle here's the thing
you're not out of working in this
situation you just become the project
manager right you're the Quality
Assurance person and when these people
you're meeting in your local area are
like well what kind of work have you
done that's when you show them the
website that you've been building that
you've been hustling up on your own and
this model right here is literally a
model that could generate quickly a
six-figure per year business I mean
you'll need to make eight thousand
dollars per month in order to hit a
hundred thousand dollars per year and it
doesn't take all that many websites or
clients at $1,000 a pop to reach that
level of income and as long or
especially when you're staying in a
project management mode and you're
saying in selling mode
because you got to keep going out to get
that money you got to keep finding new
clients and keep offering you services
to your same clients in order to keep
the cash flow coming in and then it's
all about delegating delegating
delegating delegating right get other
people to handle the actual work the
technician style work you handle the
sales the customer relation and again of
course you do the Quality Assurance once
this is going I want to scale you up one
more level and that is to offer content
marketing and social media marketing
services right now what these services
are is for once
somebody has a great looking website
it's easy to help them understand that a
website that sits there static with no
content that's added to it is going to
float away in cyberspace and no one is
ever going to find it it's like an
island with no bridges leading to it we
need to build bridges and on inner on
the Internet those bridges are content
right it's content on YouTube with a
YouTube video that links back to the
website boom there you've got a bridge
it's imagery that goes on Pinterest and
links back to the website boom there
you've got a bridge it's getting guest
posts on other local businesses or other
relevant blogs boom there you built a
bridge back it's constantly feeding more
quality content on the website so the
search engine spiders and so all the
search engines are able to find and
index that content and you're building
content that's based on what this
company's customers are searching for
right so that's a jewelry shop in a
specific town you would look up for
keywords on a keyword research tool and
again you got to learn the basics of
keyword research you got to learn the
basics of SEO I mean that's what you're
doing in the process you're just in like
a paid internship system where you're
giving your first couple of clients a
really good deal for you to get hands-on
experience and learn this that's how I
tripled and quadrupled down on my
experiences in those early years I
didn't just sit there and work on my one
website for my wife and I that whole
time I was juggling literally at one
point it felt like I had dozens of
plates spinning at the exact same time I
was getting a little bit stressed out
but I had no choice I had $50,000 in
student
I was flat broke I'd already moved back
in with my parents with my wife at the
age of 30 I bounced off of rock bottom
right I hit rock bottom
thought I had bounced on that so if
you're in that situation know that I
feel you I'm with you on that
you've got to triple down on it you've
got a hustle up even more that is the
trick to making this work and if it
feels like mom Wow you really want me to
go flip stop and go garage sale and this
and get a job and word yeah how bad do
you want it that is ultimately the
question is how bad do you want it I hit
this point was like I can never go back
I can never let this go again and that's
we're building skills specifically web
development skills through WordPress
based on one theme family drive themes
is simple it is really powerful that's
enough for you to build yourself an
affiliate marketing business you can
build a membership program you can build
any kind of business you want online
with those tools and you can get
experience paid experience doing this
from the local businesses in your market
so back to that jewelry repair idea
right so let's say you're in Madison
Wisconsin and you found a jewelry store
that wants to get more customers and
their website is old outdated and it
looks like rubbish so you go sit down
with the owner you're like look I'm a
new Internet devout in turn M marketer
I'm learning and teaching myself well
web development I usually charge 1,500
or $2,000 for a website but I want to
give you a good deal because I want to
prove myself in the community and I want
to prove myself to you I'll do a web
site for you for five hundred bucks
total redesign show them some images
imagery of some really cool pricings
websites that are out there put some
graphics on have somebody on upwards do
this for you show them what you can do
for them they're going to look at it be
like wow you'll do that for 500 bucks
I'm in because to them a website in
their mind is still five thousand ten
thousand dollar thing they people still
have two thousand one two thousand two
kind of pricing on web development in
their mind and WordPress makes it
literally three four five hour process
in order to build out a website so you
could still be making easily even if
you're slow and it takes you twice as
long you can be making fifty bucks an
hour with this kind of work then once
the website is done you do all the
keyword research and you go back to that
owner you're like cool here's your basic
website
your homepage it's got your about Us
page it's got your directions page your
content your contact us you give them
like a core 5 page website for that
right and then once they're like this is
awesome I love that thank you very much
you're like great but here's here's the
problem right all of our users out on
the world are searching for these
keywords and you show them a spreadsheet
that you printed out that shows the
exact keywords people are looking for
that have everything to do with jewelry
and you let them know hey look this is
what people are searching for in our
local community they're searching for
jewelry repair they're searching for
custom jewelry they're searching for
wedding engagement rings
that's the phrases they're searching for
and we need to build content on your
site that will answer their biggest
questions and that will help them
understand that you are the best jewelry
store for them and what happens Google
will reward you for having the most
content and the best content on the
subject with all of the visitors so when
they go search in these phrases you'll
show up because right now you're not
showing up and you're missing out on
hundreds of visitors per month that
business owner is going to be like wow
you're right Thanks I definitely need to
do that and you're like cool it'll be
five hundred dollars a month and we'll
do one new post every single week and
I'll be sure to do all the social media
marketing for each of those posts to
make sure it gets the most leverage and
the most kind of reach possible for the
efforts and there can be like oh my gosh
that's great that sounds awesome
if they balk at the 500 a month price
cool do it for 250 cut them a deal
figure out a way to make it happen
because it's easier for you to sell more
things to those same clients that you
have and that you built up than it is
for you to go out and get new clients I
think you have to constantly be going
out and getting new clients but there is
a lot of potential to continue to work
with the clients that you met because
you have a relationship they already
trust you so offer them that next most
logical solution right and if their
problem was their website was outdated
it wasn't bringing any customers in
great solution number one is a pretty
website that works on the number one
system online which is WordPress 30% of
websites are on WordPress get them on to
the industry standard present them
professionally boom problem solved what
next problem traffic din army traffic
great so let's get you a content
marketing plan and then we'll also add
on a social media marketing plan you've
got video skills if you want to get into
YouTube marketing if you're excited by
doing video production work perfect go
do that to add on YouTube you've got to
figure it out there's no rules there's
no nothing for you to play there's no
playbook for you to play by right you
literally make this up as you go along
and that's exactly what I did for years
and years and years now that I would
have people come at me miles I've heard
you can help with this kind of stuff
oh you helped Sally over the shop down
the street she said you were great can
you help me with it and when you perform
with excellence for a few people in your
local community they with the
word-of-mouth marketing is by far the
best all the while you're building out
your personal website and keep flipping
stuff man if you find a few products
that you can go get for cheap in your
local area
and you can make five hundred thousand
percent return on your investment keep
doing that and although I am working
your day job too and all the while
you're doing that pay off your debt
getting rid of my fifty thousand dollars
in student loan debt was by far the most
liberating thing I have done in my life
period by far way more liberating
interesting to get rid of my student
loan debt than it was to get my degree
that my student loan debt offered me
that degree got me nowhere it literally
did not open any doors for me at all
paying off that student loan debt was an
absolute weight off of my shoulders and
how did I do that
it's the hustle it was absolutely
grinding it out it was working jobs
doing client work building my websites
on the side not going out on Thursday
nights not going to happy hour not going
out to barbecues with friends not going
up skiing and snowboarding on the
weekend not participating and all these
other things if you waste money on not
sitting in front of television the
electronic income reducer I put all my
money all my time all my energy into my
student loans and when I paid it off I
was paying somewhere between four and
six thousand dollars per month on my
student loans where my minimum payments
were like 150 bucks a month and I was
just over it I knew it was an absolute
shackle and a chain and I let that
motivate me that was the fire that
burned within me once I got out the
parents house for height and got kind of
into my own digs
was the fuel for my fire to keep that
that motivation to really push and get
it over the top something magical
happened once I paid that off I was used
to this four to six thousand dollars a
month literally disappearing to pay off
debt once that debt was serviced that
money was just there right I still had
to pay taxes on it but this is when I
started to shift my mindset over to
investing and taking care of the little
things like what's an IRA what's a 401k
like how do I pay for my old self right
can I trust Social Security absolutely
not that's what I started to do and
shift was my mindset and that's when I
began really investing in Facebook ads
on my business because I finally had a
surplus and I was able to reinvest it
back into my business to deploy those
monies into my business to go create
more monies and that's how the growth in
my business has expanded it started from
getting a job it started from selling
absolutely everything that I didn't need
and wasn't bolted down then my wife and
I built our website to get things going
to get a little momentum for me to get a
bit of experience then I started
offering marketing services for people
in my local neighborhood in my local
market going literally shaking hands
talking to business owners walking into
shops on Fridays and Saturdays are you
the manager are you the business owner
cool where do most your customers come
from asking questions people love
talking about their business especially
when their stores slow people love
talking about their problems get them
talking about their not getting up their
phone's not ringing enough how the
dentist's office ain't get enough
business how how things aren't what they
used to be and then aha boom all I do
internet marketing stuff I could help
you outside if you'd like I'm looking
for a few people to build some case
studies I can give you a really good
deal like I'll do it half price just to
show you and to get some more experience
because I'm trying to build out my
portfolio right now so I got all that
going while tripling and doubling down
on absolutely everything that I was
doing and I rode that train rode that
wave seven days a week 12 13 14 hours a
day plus for years and years and now I'm
addicted to it now my side job is these
videos I'm still working my full-time
job I'm still doing what I love with my
wife and I'm on a mission to help you go
through kind of what I went through that
process of kind of bootstrap pulling
yourself up by your bootstraps getting
some cash flow going so you can pay off
all your debts build out an emergency
fund lay off your boss fire
retire your alarm clock and live the
life you deserve and a wife you truly
want to live the trick is takes hard
work and everybody out there trying to
sell you something and everybody is
trying to sell you something above me
right now everybody out there trying to
sell you something is trying to make it
sound like it's easy like they got the
push button this the push button that
and I'm here to tell you the absolute
truth I've been there I've lived it I'm
trying to be as honest as I can it takes
a lot of hard work the cool part is you
become a better person for it the cool
part is you learn skills and once you
have those skills
I got WordPress skills you can pull the
rug out from under me and boy in a day I
will go right down right now I can strum
up business in any city in the world
literally I have traded WordPress
websites for rent in luxury beach houses
in Mexico that were on firing I have
traded WordPress websites for food at
restaurants literally there's this
little Mexican restaurant in the town of
Mexico I was living in best food in town
I was like cool like $400 us food credit
he was like done and I built up a
website and I ate there all the time
right like the possibilities here are
endless and that comes from scaling up
there's no tricks there's no hacks
there's no nothing so if you kind of
enter this video feeling down feeling
like man I just gotta figure this I
gotta get something going like nothing
feels like it's working great I am laid
out an absolute plan for you that is so
stable right if you go approach this in
every direction you might find in three
months that flipping stuff on eBay is
pulling in three or four grand a month
and there's WordPress stuff is a little
more difficult or more work for you than
you want and you might triple down on
the flipping stuff great or you might
flip stuff for a month or two and figure
out why this WordPress stuff is actually
as easy as miles makes it sound like
building website it really is a four or
five hour job that I could sell for like
$1,000 each
damn that's really good cat cash flow
you might double down on that oh great
it might take you two years to get it
all figured out and pay off all your
debt and achieve that next level of
freedom in your life it's so worth it
it's absolutely worth it
