So the reason I'm making this video is I'm a college graduate and I grew up in a middle class home and I was always taught that if I just went to school I worked hard I got a degree I got a job and eventually worked my way up the ladder that was the safest and best way to get and make a six-figure per year income right now as we all know in today's world that's not really the case right it's all about the skills that you develop and the results that you get using those skills right so there are high school dropouts college dropouts that are multi-millionaires and in some cases billionaires right like Bill Gates is an extreme example right but he's a I think he's a high a high school dropout right so we have people who don't have degrees that are doing amazing things because they've developed high income skills and got crazy results by leveraging and using those skills in their own businesses and the businesses of other people as well okay so in this video I'm going to talk to you about those seven skills what I feel like are the best high income evergreen skills that you can learn in 2020 and beyond to make 10k per month or more so let's jump right into my computer and go over those right now all right guys so what I have here is my google doc my handy dandy google doc with the seven high income evergreen skills that if you learn them can make you 10k per month or more and sometimes much much more especially if you stack these skills because the more you learn the more you earn right the more skills you develop the more you're going to make and the higher income is going to be so each of these skills I have a broken down into three sections number one is what is it what is the actual skill how to make money with it and then also some books to help you get started that I recommend for each of these skills all right so let's jump into the first one here number one is copywriting and this is salesmanship in print this is my favorite skill the one that I'm focusing on most and it's using words to persuade and get people to take a certain action with you so whether that's to give that give you their email address to opt in for something or to watch a webinar or a video or to purchase a product or a service copywriting is using words to persuade and get people to take that action whatever it is right now how to make money with it how do you make money using the skill of copywriting well you can offer it as a service right as a freelancer consultant or agency blog posts email sales letters video scripts product descriptions website copy advertisements on facebook google and youtube these are all services that you can offer using the skill of copywriting now growth response which is my agency we offer done for you linkedin and cold email lead generation we're basically a copywriting agency right what what we do is we write messaging on behalf of our clients when we send that messaging to their target market to get them to take a certain action which is to book a call book an appointment with our client right so that is copywriting right that's salesmanship we're using words to try and persuade their market to take a certain action now you can also use it to sell your own products and services right so i use copywriting to sell our agency services i also use it to sell info products that we have for my education company right so we use it to sell ebooks and courses and coaching programs and also agency services so copywriting is an insanely valuable and versatile skill because you can use it both as a service and also to sell your own products and services whatever that is right now some books to help you get started are the adwee copywriting handbook this is a good like fundamentals book this is my a guy named joe sugarman one of the top dogs and copywriting cash for tizing is a fun read it's also very very solid read and building a story brand this is a little more professional feeling but it's really good around messaging and branding and creating marketing collateral for your company or your clients companies okay so these are the three books to help you get started copywriting skill number one high income skill number two is closing or sales right what is it turning prospects into paying clients using the phone or in person now closing isn't just for like i this example i have here is mainly for around money but closing and sales you're using it in all aspects of your life right closing your when you let's say you have a partner you're in a relationship and you're trying to convince them to do something right like i'm about to get married with my fiance in a couple months from here and we're trying to decide on certain things around our wedding right the skill of sales and closing i have to convince her to do certain things about our wedding right so i hope she doesn't watch this right but that i consider that the skill of selling and closing as well so in this case it's turning prospects into paying clients using the phone or in person if you are applying for a job right that's selling you're trying to get the employer to give you the job and close them on that if you are trying to close a deal obviously that's closing as well how do you make money number one you can become a hired gun for other companies like a sales consultant or an actual sales person where you get paid on commission per sale or you can sell your own high ticket products and services right which is what we do we sell our own information products and our own agency services so the skill of closing the most coveted skill in all of business is getting people to give you money and if you can master this skill you can you'll never go hungry again right you'll always be able to make more money because you'll be able to go out to the market and get them to give you money by becoming a paying client right some books to get you started are spin selling pitch anything in the little red book of selling obviously there's way more than this but these are three solid ones to get you started get you rolling and one of the best ways to get better at closing is of course to practice it okay so skill number three is speaking and naturally I'm an introvert right so speaking is using your voice to influence persuade and lead others and I knew personally I needed to get better at speaking which is kind of why I started this YouTube channel up again right so I'm naturally an introvert and it might you might not believe that but if I go to a party with a lot of people I'm not the life of the party I'm usually usually the guy laughing on the outside at everyone else's jokes and everyone else's conversations and stories I'm not the one talking right so I'm naturally an introvert I like being by myself I like thinking on my own I like reading books like in a room by myself like a loser but yeah it's speaking is using your voice to influence persuade and lead others and when you combine this skill with something like copywriting or closing it becomes insanely powerful right so how to make money with it you can be a speaker for other companies you can speak at events or conferences or train teams or you know train other companies teams internal teams or you can sell your own products and services right which is what I use it for so I use speaking combined with closing and copywriting on my YouTube channel and my Facebook group on my email list to sell my own products and services right so I use it combined with the other skills now books this is a little hard because speaking you can't really just read books and get better at it I mean you you can't really read books and get better at anything without practicing but speaking especially you need to practice practice practice to hone this skill three books though the art of public speaking how to win friends and influence people and speak with no fear these are three books to get you started right again practice is the best way to hone this skill and one of the best ways to practice is something like a YouTube channel right or just making videos on social media so that is speaking high income skill number three number four is sales funnels and what is it it's building and designing automated machines that convert traffic into leads and sales now this is my personal opinion right I do not think like with all the funnel hacker stuff going around like Russell Brunson click funnels amazing guy amazing company he's done a lot for the marketing industry as a whole and I just don't think that sales funnel by itself is like the first skill that you should learn right sales funnels while they're super powerful if you don't understand like marketing and copywriting basic principles and how to sell it's not really that useful right anyone can set up a certain page but if you don't understand like the basic principles of marketing and selling and copywriting it's the sales funnel is not going to be that good right so I think that sales funnels are mostly used or our best when they're layered upon some some of these other skills here like closing like copywriting like speaking right so just just keep that in mind that's my opinion building and designing automated machines that convert traffic into leads and sales how do you make money from it you can offer it as a service right you can be a funnel agency or funnel consultant you can build lead funnels opt-in funnels email automation funnels webinar funnels e-commerce and physical product funnels there's so many different types of funnels that you can offer as a service or create for people but again make sure that you understand the basic principles of other areas like marketing and sales and copywriting okay you can also sell your own products and services right so I set up all my own automated sales funnels for both of my companies my education company and my agency we use automated sales funnels to sell both high-ticket products and services some books to get you started dot com secrets by Russell Brunson himself the one page marketing plan by alan dibb and the invisible sales machine by ryan dice these are three solid sales funnels books to get you started and going number five this is going to be a little different is product and service development right and this is what is it it's developing amazing products and services and I prefer digital products and services because they are infinitely scalable right now the reason this is so important like you can be a killer at copywriting and closing and speaking and sales funnels but if you get people into your company and your product for your service sucks like it doesn't get results it's just terrible right and your customers hate it everyone's going to leave and you don't really have a sustainable business there right so product and service development the ability to develop amazing products and services is so crucial to the long-term sustainability of your business right you want to make sure you can keep your clients and your customers and that they love you and your company and what you offer your products and your services right so how do you make money well of course you just build and sell your own products and services right so you're going to get good at developing amazing products and services you're going to get better at it over time and that way you can keep your customers and your clients for longer you can delight them you can get them results and you can build the company that gets better and better and better and better over time now some books the first is the irresistible offer now this is kind of on the line of like copywriting and marketing but I threw this in here because it helps you to really think about what you're offering the product or service that you're offering and how to build around that right expert secrets this is mainly around creating digital like information products from Russell Brunson and the lean product playbook this is another good one to help you to help give you some good fundamentals and basics around building new products and services so number six is systems what is it it's building systems and processes in various different areas that maximize efficiency and output while minimizing effort right so it's building repeatable systems and processes where it kind of removes like the human element of you having to do all these steps over and over right how to make money we can specialize in a certain area maybe marketing or sales or hiring wherever it is and then you can offer it as a service or a consulting engagement for other companies that's one way to do it the other way is to use systems to build and maximize your own business this is mainly the way that I use it right so I use systems around prospecting and marketing and sales like our sales process and hiring employees I have systems for all of those things that help to remove me from the business and maximize the efficiency and output while minimizing the actual manual and human effort that goes into it right so I use systems to build my own business and make it more efficient and more profitable now some books around this are scaling up built to sell this is one of my favorite books of all time built to sell and then also clockwork design your business to run itself these are all books around building better systems and scaling up using systems and processes and lastly we have digital marketing high income skill number seven what is it it's using the internet and digital and social media channels to reach consumers or reach your potential customers right how do you make money with it we can specialize in a certain area social media facebook google youtube ads email marketing there's tons of different areas in digital marketing right you can just look it up do google search then you can operate as a service like as a consultant or agency or whatever or a consultant consulting engagement for other companies like you're just telling them what to do and what to set up you can also use it to sell your own product and services right so you can hone your skills in one of these areas here like i know i'm pretty good at facebook and youtube ads and i'm using that to sell my own products and services okay so a lot you're seeing a trend here right basically all the way to make money is to offer it as a service or to use it to sell your own products and services in many cases i'm using it for both of these things here okay some books to help you with this the one page marketing plan by alan dibb i know i listed this above invisible selling machine this is around email marketing automation i know i listed this
