Last point before we start talking about each path to making money online is to understand there isn't much new under the sun

1. eCom Brand
I am Wiz of Ecom - I have built multiple 6 and 7 figure stores and have scaled multiple client stores to 7 figs and beyond
It would seem uncharacter like to say anything bad about eCom but to be honest there is a lot of downside for beginners

There are a few routes that you can take here
A. Dropshipping - if you are serious about making money online, you've already heard about this
The advantages include:

A. Dropshipping - if you are serious about making money online, you've already heard about this
The advantages include:
- Low overhead cost
- Can kill product quickly and test new ones
- Fast way to master eCom
The disadvantages are
- Shipping times are absolutely terrible
- Product quality usually sucks
- Finding a winning product is time consuming and expensive to test
The last point about being expensive to test is the biggest turn off for newbies
- Shipping times are absolutely terrible
- Product quality usually sucks
- Finding a winning product is time consuming and expensive to test
The last point about being expensive to test is the biggest turn off for newbies
The reason for this is because it's not as easy as setting up a store, beginning ads and making money
I failed at 12 stores before I had my first profitable one
You will need to test dozens of products to really find a winner which can cost you thousands and months

If you go this route you need to choose a product that is either
A pain killer - solves a problem
A vitamin - enhances someone's life
Best way to figure out what these are is by studying eCom brand and deconstructing what they are doing

The goal: Get all the information you need from your client to begin the work as soon as possible (no lagging)

You can do this using software or zaps
The process will be:
A. Send out follow-up email after they pay to ask for access + assets then ask them to book a kickoff call with you
The process will be:
A. Send out follow-up email after they pay to ask for access + assets then ask them to book a kickoff call with you
B. Kick off call you will overview what they gave you, and here you will set expectations for future
C. On the kick off call you want to overview all the lowest hanging fruits Onboarding must be systemized as soon as possible The more diligent you are, the better effect you have on your client (they see you are serious, this will help them stay with you longer)
5. Actual work and systemization
Most people think this is the only part of running an agency
The actual work in my opinion becomes the easiest once you mastered the art of the skill
The actual work is based on your sub offers

The actual work in my opinion becomes the easiest once you mastered the art of the skill
The actual work is based on your sub offers
E.x email marketing Flows - 6 flows setup Campaign - Send out x campaigns a month Lead gen - setup
The work you are doing is the sub offers that you provide to people - our goal here is to get clients results using our skills for each sub offer
Then systemize

Then optimize the results - this will allow you to retain your client
80% of your role in the future will be optimization Independent variable tests to help you move the needle and get your clients better results
Optimization is done by tweaking a single variable at a time based on a hypothesis to see if it creates a better outcome

7. Bonus: Scaling & other client strategies - Scale based on your services. Setup departments for each of your services and systemize - Create case studies based off your clients BEFORE working with you VS After having you onboard - Ask your clients for referrals
In my opinion, for beginners, this is the route I would choose
Because there is a low barrier of entry but you work towards really understanding the marketing industry
You work to master systems, a monetizable skill and you get paid to do it
