 Be successful online without experience or technical knowledge. Oh my God, I hope you didn't actually believe that. Yeah, people go, wow, the internet's great. I could go in there and make tons of money and not know anything. Come on, you know, the internet is great, but you gotta know something to make some money. So in this video, I'm gonna talk about what you do need to know so you can make real money and you can skip over all the BS. The internet has opened up a lot of opportunities for us, okay, and it's enabled a lot of us to freelance on different projects and be anywhere in the world at home, traveling on a cruise ship or anywhere else in the world we wanna be. But it's also been kind of a scam because a lot of people are saying, hey, you can go online, you can make all kinds of money, you don't have to know anything. Do you really believe that? I mean, really, do you believe that? That you can go online and not know anything and people are gonna pay you for not knowing anything? No, that's not true. You could wipe that thought from your brain. I wanna share with you some of the titles of stuff I saw online. I like this one here. How to make money online without special knowledge or skills. That would have been a good title. Five ways to make money online. No skills, no experience. Here's a good one, and I love the second word. 10 stupidly easy ways to make money with no skills. How to earn money without any knowledge. Here's one of my favorites right here. The best work from home jobs that take little or no experience. Wait, what? I mean, the quick answer to this is yeah, okay, okay, anybody can make money online, okay? That's like saying if you go out into the job market without any skills, you can still get a job. It's just not gonna be a very high paying job. You're gonna be a fast food worker. You're gonna be doing lawn care. Some things that really don't require any skills. I mean, if you could push a lawn mower and I'm not cutting down anybody who does yards, but I'm just saying, you don't have to be trained a lot to do that particular job. So if you do find a way to make money online with zero skills, you're gonna be paid at the very lowest end of the spectrum. Now, I just wanted to say to you, there's no shortcut, okay? There's no shortcut, but that doesn't mean you can't make tremendous money online and not have any skills right now but change that situation. Now, instead of saying how can I make money online without any skills, I would say to myself, what are the most marketable skills online that's gonna pay me the most amount of money? And I'm gonna go get those skills. So here's the formula. There's only four steps. Four steps, okay? First step, develop a valuable skill, okay? And that's pretty easy to do. All you gotta do to figure out what a valuable skill is, I mean, you go to something like Upwork, you go to Freelance, you go to one of these places and you look at the skills that are paying the most amount of money and you go after those skills because number two is learn how to apply that skill to a customer's needs in a professional manner. So if you pick up the skill and you learn how to apply it to a customer out there that's willing to pay for it, you're gonna make a lot of money. Now, number three, this is the tough part that some of us don't like, learn how to sell that skill to new customers, okay? You constantly wanna get new customers. Now I have some customers that I've had for 10 years, okay, since we started Survival K Food, they're still buying from us, that's very cool but we've also acquired new customers and you need to do that because your customer base will get smaller at some point and the reason it's gonna get smaller is people die, they quit buying your product, for whatever reasons they go to the competitor so if you don't constantly add to your customer base, you can go out of business. So you gotta learn that skill of how to sell to new customers. Now I have some great videos on this channel on sales, just search sales on my channel and you're gonna find those videos. And the next thing you wanna do is trade your service for money, okay? So essentially that means you're gonna go do that job that you've trained yourself to do. If you don't do what I'm telling you to do in this video, let's say you say, well, JR, I just don't wanna acquire any skills, I don't really wanna do that, I just wanna make some money online. You can do that, I mean, you could do that but you're always gonna be relegated to the very lowest end of the rung, the very lowest income. And what's life about anyhow? It's about learning new skills and discovering new things, isn't it? If you're just doing the lowest end of the spectrum for jobs, you're gonna get the lowest pay there is. So let's take a moment here and let's talk about how to create really great value. First thing you need to do is prioritize your activities, okay? Everybody has 24 hours a day. Almost everybody who's not successful will tell you that they don't have any time left in the day. Somebody who's very successful, and I'm gonna call up Elon Musk real quick, but somebody like Elon Musk always finds time to do something new. He has an AI company that is working with restoring people who have been paralyzed. He has a rocket company who sends rockets into space, he has a car company that has just taken over the world. He's got a boring company where he's changing transportation because there's 3D transportation and he looks at 3D transportation as the sky, the ground, and the earth. So everybody complains about not having enough time, but the fact is you're probably allocating your time wrong. I know, you don't wanna hear it, you don't wanna hear it, but I'm just saying how about if you allocated your time differently? How about instead of Netflix, instead of HBO, instead of some game show that you were watching, instead of watching a ball game, that you actually spent that time educating yourself? You did some mentorship, you did some entry level stuff so you could learn some things, because if you devoted your time to that, you're essentially gonna become a more valuable person. And this is how our economy works. The most valuable people get paid the most value. Now, I'm not saying valuable as a human being, I'm saying valuable as skills, okay? A guy who actually cleans our office here, who wipes down the tables and all that, he's a very valuable human being. He's very important to his family and his kids and everything, very valuable, but not to the market. A guy who is a terrible dad and maybe a heavy drinker and not a very nice person who can perform brain surgery will make more money. And that's just how it works. Now, ideally we want you to be a great person, but the point is you've gotta improve your skills if you wanna make more money, it's just a fact. You know, I would go so far as to say, invest your time in becoming an expert in something, something that you excel at that very few people do. Over the years, I've sold millions of dollars of digital and physical products and I can sell courses based on that now because they go, yeah, he sells all this other stuff, so I'm gonna buy his course on how to do that. I'm gonna listen to his video just like you are right now. I'm gonna listen to the video because I know he's not full of it, okay? He actually did these things. So when you become an expert in these areas, people will pay you a lot of money. I know I did consulting for a while and I started out at $500 a month and then $1,500 a month and $4,000 a month. One of my last contracts, and I quit doing it because it takes too much of my time, I was making $2,000 an hour, which was not a bad income, right? To coach somebody on a telephone and that was on a telephone. That wasn't even person to person. So the point I'm trying to make with you is you can make more money as long as you become more valuable. Quit thinking I will take the lowest rung of whatever job there is and just pay me something and I won't learn anything. Don't do that. If you become an expert in something, don't settle for it. Let's go back to Elon Musk. He became an expert in the automotive industry. They said he couldn't do it. So he says, really? I think I'll become an expert in rocket ships. He's not a rocket scientist. And in a recent interview on 60 Minutes, when they asked him how he built this rocket company and he didn't know anything about rockets, he answered with, there's books. So you could pretty much learn anything on the internet. Now type in any subject you want and I promise you you're gonna find instruction on how to do it. I don't care what it is. I don't care if it's how to set a broken leg to how to write code. You're gonna find instruction online and a lot of it's free. Now if you wanna organize it in a nice format, you buy somebody's courses. I have courses below on Facebook ads when drop shipping on Shopify stores. You can go down there and look at those. Those are organized. They'll lead you right through the path. Save you a lot of time. You spend a little bit of money but they lead you right to where you wanna be. So you can learn these things and if you become an expert in one area, why not become an expert in another area and another area and another area and open up more and more and more and more possibilities for you to make money online. Now I'm gonna tell you to add a business soft skill. What is a business soft skill? Well, a business soft skill is something that really can't be quantified but it's something like this. Lean in for a little bit. It's something like, be nice to people. Yeah. You know, we've all heard the stories about actors that are so difficult to deal with. They make a lot of money but they have all these high demands and stuff. And after a while, the producers say, let's just get another actor. They're too much work, they're too much hassle. So when you're developing these skills, also develop the skill of getting along with people, of being nice to people, of helping them out, of being kind to everybody that you deal with no matter what rung of society they're in. Why would you treat anybody different because they make less money than you than somebody who makes more money than you? Makes no sense. But if you treat everybody equal, you'll be known as that person that's really easy to work with. Maybe you're more expensive but you're easy to work with. People are willing to pay for that. So if you really wanna make money online, get more skills. Get more skills. Did you understand that from this video? Get more skills. Maybe you clicked on this video for other reasons. Maybe you thought, well, I just need to make a few dollars a month. If I could make two or three hundred dollars a month, I'll be good. But what if you could make a thousand? What if you could make 10,000? What if you could make 100,000? I gotta tell you the first time our company sold $100,000 in a day. Yes, I said a day. I was ecstatic. I thought, wow, I didn't used to make that a year. And now I make that in a single day. Now, do we make that every single day from that point forward? No, it doesn't work that way online. I will tell you that. It's not like every single day we make hundreds of thousands of dollars. That'd be great, but we don't do that. We have sold millions of dollars and we sell millions of dollars. And that's nice, but that's a year. That's not daily. Maybe we'll get to that point in one day. Maybe I'll do a million dollar a day. You know, I'm looking forward to it. But why settle for less? Why spend the rest of your life going, I'll think I'll just settle for less. You know, it was funny the other day. I was out with my wife and we were behind a trash truck. And the guy was forking one of those big trash bins and he was dumping it into the truck. And he looked eerily similar to a guy who knew that was online that did digital marketing. They looked alike. I mean, if you looked at the two people, you know, they're both kind of heavy sad, kind of balding, you know, kind of had a snarl on their face. You know, the guy driving that trash truck, I don't know what he made. I have no idea. It wouldn't be a whole, whole lot of money because he's driving a trash truck. Not that there's anything wrong with him or not that he's not valuable, but he's not gonna make a lot of money because a lot of people can do that. The guy that looks like him, physically everything looks like him, online makes millions of dollars a year doing digital marketing. Where did they decide, you know, this is my value? You know, the guy sat in that truck one day and he said, this is my value. This is what I'm gonna do with the rest of my life. The other guy went online and said, hey, I'm worth millions of dollars and I'm gonna start asking for it. I'm gonna start learning things and doing things to make all this money. Where does that happen? You know, where are you gonna decide that you wanna be in the rung of society? You know, it doesn't make you a better person. Don't think it does. If you make more money, that doesn't make you a better person or a better dad or a better father, brother, whatever. But it will make you more money, okay? And if that's what you wanna do, you've gotta gain those skills, okay? So I hope this helped you out.
