In this particular video, I want to show you basically how to start a really profitable business in 2020. So let's get started. Oh, I almost forgot, I have a course. Yes, of course I do. I have a $97 course. But guess what? I'm not gonna sell it to you. I want to give it to you. I want to give it to you absolutely free for a limited time.

Also, if you've already tried to start a business, you've had some success, you've had some issues, make sure you put those comments below. I'd love to hear about it. Don't forget to give me a thumbs up. Let's get going. Okay, number one, best business to start. What would you think it is? I tell you, it is a clothing business. What? I don't have a clothing business. I can't afford to buy clothing. I don't have any designs. I don't have any of that stuff. Guess what? You don't need to anymore. You can actually design products now, t-shirts, hoodies, cups, mugs, hats for free. You can actually design it for free. Yeah, there's actually sites that you can go to. You can design these things and you can actually print them on t-shirts and sweatshirts and all that and different colors and sizes. And you don't have to invest anything in inventory. Nothing. You can go to Printify. You can go to Printful. And there's a lot more like that, but I'm gonna give you those too, Printify and Printful. And I'll put links below so that you can click and learn. And you can make whatever product you want and put it up for sale. You can put it up for sale on your site. You can put it up for sale on social media. You can put it up for sale on their site. And guess what? Here's the best part. You don't have any inventory. When somebody actually buys the product, you send the order to Printify or Printful, they actually print it up. They box it all up. They put it in the mail, off it goes, and your buyer gets it. And you did nothing. All you did was listed. It's really that simple. Now, if you don't wanna make your own designs, you can hire somebody on Fiverr. You can use Canva for free. You can use Photoshop if you have that. All you can do is come up with a design, upload it to one of these sites. They'll put it on the shirt for you, and boom, you are in business, okay? That's the number one thing to start a clothing line. Number two, start a drop shipping store. Now, I actually have a course on that called Ecom Road. You may wanna check it out. But bottom line is a drop shipping store is where you're gonna list a product on your site. Somebody's gonna come to your site. They're gonna buy it, or you can list it on social media. You can send them an email about the product. Send them to a sales page. Once they buy the product, you're gonna send that order to your drop shipper. Your drop shipper's then gonna send it out to the customer. You're done, okay? You're gonna keep the profit between what you pay your drop shipper and what you sell it to the customer for. So let's say you have a $10 product and you sell it for $25. Your drop shipper sends it out. You pay them $10. You keep $15. You never had to touch the product. Now, this is done through AliExpress or a drop shipper of your choice and usually a Shopify store or your own website. But it's a great business to start. And I gotta tell you, a lot of those ads you see like on Facebook and Twitter and all that, those are all drop shipping items. They're not buying those items. They don't have inventory on those items. They don't keep those items. Those are drop shipped. And you can make money without investing in inventory. Number three, sell art online. What is art? Art could be a picture. Art could be a video. Art could be music. There are so many sites now that charge for pictures and music and videos. And you can actually list them there and get a commission every time somebody buys them. I'll give you an example. The drum broker, which is the largest online drum sampling business in the world. The drum broker, who would have thought, right? There's also fetch app, ship station. If you're an artist, I'm not, but if you're an artist and you're really good at photography, you're really good at shooting them short videos of cities or drone images or whatever you wanna do, you can upload them to these sites and actually earn a commission every time somebody buys them. They drive all the traffic. All you have to do is supply the content, which is pretty easy to do. Number four, become a freelance writer, designer or developer. Now, you can do all kinds of stuff. You can work on websites. You can edit videos. You can build WordPress websites. You can do SEO, you can do SEM, do social media, whatever you're good at, whatever you like doing, go to either Fiverr or Upwork. Fiverr or Upwork. Now, there's a lot more sites. There's Gurru, there's Freelancer.com, but any of these sites, you can actually set up a profile. And once you set up a profile there, people will look for you and hire you for jobs. Now, if you wanna be proactive, which I recommend, I always recommend being proactive, look at some of the jobs being offered, go to some of those jobs in the beginning before anybody contacts you, because you have no testimonials, you have no samples yet, and tell them that you will do their job at a discount because you wanna get some testimonials. So maybe there's a $100 job there, and you say, hey, that job that you're willing to pay $100 for, I'll do it for 50 if you promise to give me a testimonial. Don't tell them if they promise to give you a good testimonial, because I can't do that if you don't do good work. But if you do good work, you're gonna get a good testimonial, especially for somebody that you gave a 50% discount to. Now, some of you will say, well, I don't wanna work for free, I don't wanna do that, I'll just wait. Well, your waiting could cost you a lot of money, because if you do a little free work up front and you get some testimonials, you could immediately start getting jobs. So I highly recommend you do it with my method. Number five, teach an online course. I already do this, okay? I have courses. I have courses on Shopify, I have courses on Facebook ads, I have courses on drop shipping, I have all kinds of different courses, and these courses generate money for me day in and day out. Why not let that work for you too? If you have any skills, maybe it's sales, maybe it's photography, maybe it's editing, maybe it's website design, do a course, put that course online and charge for it. Now, there's plenty of places you could put a course, you could put it on Udemy. But I like actually putting it on my own site and driving traffic to it, that way I have control over it. So all my courses are built in Cartrip, you don't know what Cartrip is. It's a great software program. It will help you do courses, it will help you do emails, it will help you do sales pages and sales funnels. And I'm gonna put a link below. You can actually watch a video on Cartrip and what it does. And if you like it, which I don't know why you wouldn't, if you like it, you can click the link and you can actually get a trial for only $1.00. So check that out. Online courses is a multi-billion dollar business. You might as well take advantage of that. I know I have it, I'm very happy that I have it this morning. Number six is Flip Thrift Store Fines. What do I mean by that? These thrift stores, you can buy some stuff. Cheap guys. Matter of fact, I know Gary Vee actually went around to garage sales one weekend. He's a multi-millionaire and he was trying to say, hey, all you gotta do is go buy some stuff and put it up on eBay and sell it. It's really that easy. And he actually went around to garage sales and did that. I think that's a great video. I'll try to put a link to his video on doing that. But bottom line is, you can go out on the weekends and pick up $100, $200, $300 of the stuff, put it on eBay and turn it into $500 or $1,000. If you're making 500 bucks a weekend or $1,000 a weekend, that's a good supplemental income for most people. Number seven, publish your own book. Now I used to think writing a book, oh my God, that's so much work. That's gonna be so difficult. Well, here's the truth about publishing a book. The shorter it is, the better it is. Hmm, yeah. It takes the heat out of writing a 300-page book. You know what? I've got a book that's 40 pages and 60 pages. And that sells really well because it's an e-book too. Wow. Then I can actually email the book to people. I've sold thousands of these books and I also have published books too and regular softback books. But I tell you, these e-books are great because people don't wanna read a 120-page book. I have a book called The Great American Food Shortage that predicted that a pandemic could come and we could have a food shortage. Hey, what do you know about that? I'll put a link down there. Yeah, they thought I was crazy about that book, but guess what? We live through it or we're living through it. It's not over with yet. Oh my God. By the time you watch this, I hope it's over with. I hope we were okay. I think we will be. Bottom line is publish a book about any subject, about dog training, about artwork, about DIY. It doesn't matter. There's probably an audience for it. Search online now if you find other books that are on that subject. Buy one or two of those books. See what they wrote about. Write the same kind of stuff. Don't copy it. Write the same kind of stuff. If it's already working for somebody else, it'll probably work for you. All in all guys, those are some of the top ways that you can make money online nowadays. It really is amazing. You know, I think so many people in today's society are really missing the boat. They know that people are making money online, but they haven't investigated it. And that's fine with me because then I make more money. But bottom line is you can too. If you take any one of these suggestions and you apply it, you can make money today. You don't have to go to that job tomorrow. You don't. You just don't, okay? Well, maybe tomorrow you do. But you've got to get started on this first. But once you get started on this, guys, I'm telling you if you apply this, I mean, your whole life could be different. And I want to tell you because of the pandemic, more people want to buy online than ever before. So whatever audience you had pre COVID-19, you have a bigger audience now. You have more people wanting what you've got. I don't care if it's a physical product. I don't care if it's a digital download. I don't care what it is. There's a bigger audience out there. Take advantage of this time in your life. Who knows how long it'll be here. It's here now. Do it, make money and earn. Quit the job, quit the job, quit the job, okay? Whole lot easier to do this. It's hard work. I'm not gonna tell you it's not hard work, but I'll tell you, it's a whole lot more rewarding. In addition to that, don't forget, I have a $97 course. It is free. Go down in the description, click on the link. As long as it still works, you may want to check it. It's still free. I'm gonna have it free for a limited amount of time.
