Welcome to this lesson. What we're gonna talk about today is how you can make quick cash online. In the process of building your online business, there's going to be ups and downs, right? Especially in the beginning when you're doing this part-time, you're, you're just trying to get your groove and start creating some recurring income in your business. There is a need for cash flow. Cash flow is the number, or rather, I should say lack of cash flow is the number one reason that people end up having to close their online business. It's the reason that most online businesses fail. It's not because of a lack of ideas. It's not because of a lack of work ethic. Think it's a lack of cash flow. Yeah, I'm sure there's other reasons as well, but nothing makes you, you know, stop, quit your business like, you know, not having enough money to pay the bills.


So, let's talk about ways that you can quickly generate cash online. Whether you are just starting out, whether you've been doing this a little while, maybe you've been around for a year or two, and you've made a little bit of money here and there, but you just need to generate cash. I want you to focus, I want you to focus the next week of your business on just creating ideas and, and methods in your business to generate some quick cash. And it doesn't matter if it's a hundred bucks, 50 bucks, or it's just, just generating some cash, because all of that can be scaled later. I want you to just focus on generating some cash. So I put together here with the help of ai, some ideas, and I'm gonna not just talk about them, but I'm gonna refer to times in our own business where we've had to do this, okay?


And I might even have to call on my lovely wife here to chime in and help me remember certain times where we had to do certain things. First thing, first thing that you could do if you've got any of your own existing products, is offer some sort of a discount or some sort of a sale. I can't tell you how effective this is. Ever since I can remember I was running Black Friday sales, and for a long time it was, it literally generated like 50 to 60% of my entire revenue for the next year. Was the money that I would make. And, this was like going back before there was even a Cyber Monday. Well, here's the thing. There is a holiday every month that you can run a sale for. And if you've got a product that normally sells for a hundred dollars, $75, $47, whatever it is, you can create a sale and you can even create a coupon.


You know, it is this work, people love, love this. Like, when you put a countdown timer, you create a coupon on your payment platform. Most of the free payment platforms that you're using like JVZ and Warrior and all of them, they can create a coupon where the moment that the person enters that coupon code into their checkout field it reduces the price of the product, right? And you can say to them, Hey, don't miss out on this chance to get this product. If you get it before midnight, you can use this coupon code, and you can have a reason to do that every single month. You can have a President's Day sale, a Labor Day sale, a 4th of July sale. Those have been doing great for us. A Freedom sale. We call them Freedom Sales. And you do a timed campaign, and you know where the real money comes in on this.
It's not just your list, right? Because you might say, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, my list has seen my products over and over again. Yeah. But what you're gonna do is you're gonna create a JV page for the sale. You're gonna tell your affiliates about it. You're gonna tell your affiliates, Hey, I'm giving a hundred percent commission on a sale that I'm doing, and I'm doing 50% coupon and I'm doing it for three days. So if you wanna make some extra bank, go ahead and, and here's the emails I queued up for you. 'cause You've got it set up where when somebody buys, they're gonna go to a backend webinar. So maybe you only make 50 or 60 sales, and you don't even get to keep a lot of that money from that sale that you ran, but that's 50 or 60 people that just go into a backend webinar for you.


That's 50 or 60 new leads that you got on your list that you can monetize, right? So promoting a, a, a a limited time discount, or a sale on an existing product is a great, great way to to make some quick cash online. Now, I'm gonna talk a little bit about this one. Number two, because this is something that we've done in our business many times and we still do in our business. And you gotta be really careful with this. We've learned our lesson, and it's kinda like that low hanging fruit. It is so easy to make a bunch of money, but you've gotta keep in mind that when you sell done for you service, you're committing your time. And it's great to see the money come in, but then now you've gotta deliver the goods and you've gotta actually do the work.


You might already have some skills like writing content, designing graphics, maybe social media management. I assure you, if you've been doing anything online of any consequence for six months to a year, you've already developed some skills. You probably even already have some tools to use those skills with. And you could do those things for others. And if you sell these services, you can actually make money. And that money can be money that you use to invest in your own business, right? Or maybe to pay the bills. You can advertise a few one-time service packages to local businesses in the area. If you're good at building websites, maybe you're good at WordPress websites or blogs, or maybe you're good at social media management. You know, that place that you go drop off your dry cleaning, the place that you go, and you have lunch at all of those places.


You know, you just drop a business card and say, Hey, I build websites. I do social media. And, and you can just talk to the manager for two minutes and say, Hey man, listen, I come in, I eat here all the time. I have a side business. I do social media management, I make websites, or, Hey, I make product videos. Here's my card, here's my website. You know, you could just drop information out. So there's all kinds of stuff like that that you could do. But what my wife and I did when we started doing this was we developed some skills like video production and site building and membership sites and things like that, like specific things that we were doing for our own business. And we had our own customers, like people that were buying things on our websites were saying, Hey, your website is so pretty, who built it for you?
And we'd say, oh, well, thanks for asking. We built it ourselves. It's like, oh, wow. I would love to get, you know, a site like that. Okay, well, you know what we did? We put right on our support desk. We offered services on our support desk. Lemme tell you something, don't underestimate the power of your support desk for leads. A lot of people say, oh, I just like doing support through email. Yeah, well, you're missing the boat. You, you have no idea how to run an online business if you're still doing support through email. Your support desk is one of the biggest assets that you have in producing money because the people that are at your support desk, lemme tell you something, if you've got a thousand subscribers, only 10 of them are taking action. 10, 10 out of a thousand subscribers are taking action.


And you know where you could find them in the help desk, because they're trying to get help with the actions that they're trying to take. Your action takers, your most committed subscribers are at your help desk. They're visiting your help desk. Show them things, show them offers for coaching, show them offers for you services. Advertise to them, advertise things to them so that they can actually see the things that you have available, whether it's building a website for them or maybe doing videos for them or doing things that you are, they're seeing you do in your own business. They're seeing you produce videos. We were just talking a little while ago in our business. One of the skills that I I became good at in the beginning was producing videos. And I would use Keynote, and I had a process, like I would record it, I would do the script, I would get the audio, I would put the sync, the audio man.


And I had this, this process, and a couple of internet marketers reached out to me and say, Hey, Omar, who does your videos? Man, your videos look great. I said, well, I'm glad you asked. I do them. Why do you need one? And I use that as an opportunity to say, Hey, you know, I can do that for you. And, and then I would give 'em a, and, and I'll tell you what, we would've, we, we would do sales videos for people and charge $2,000, $3,000. I remember one time somebody hit me on a deadline like, Hey, man, I need sales videos for tomorrow for my launch. I knew it was gonna be a six figure launch. And we took that deal and we charged like $4,000. But I, I'm watching my wife right next to me, and she's just shaking her head because she remembers the nightmare that happened, right? What happened when we did that?


It was a huge nightmare. We had to stay up all night. On top of that you know, it's like, I think his launch was like at 9:00 AM and we had to literally work the entire night. And it was rough. It was really rough. So it's, it's great when the money comes in, but then you have to fulfill that. And sometimes we create these ginormous packages that we offer, and we say, Hey, I'll build your site. I build your funnel. I'll build this, I'll do that. I'll do the other thing. And you create this amazing ginormous package that the person loves, and it's gonna sell like crazy. You say, yeah, if you gimme a thousand dollars right now, I'll build all that for you. And then you have five people that give you a thousand dollars each, and you're all excited. You're a high roller, you just made $5,000 in a day. Yeah. But now you've literally gotta build five complete business funnels, and now you've overcommitted. So now what's gonna happen is that work is going to last a lot longer than that money that you made.


And now you're back in that same problem a month from now, right? So, again, you might want to consider, you know, offering things that you know how to do as a service. You know, some people put things on Fiverr. And, and here's the thing. Don't knock Fiverr because it's five bucks. That's the source of a client. You could look at Fiverr, and it's not just Fiverr. There's Upwork, there's free natural. There's a bunch of different sites that you could put your skill, you could list your skill on. And you might say, well, man, I, I don't want to offer my servicer just five bucks. You don't have to. You can offer a portion of your service for $5 just to open the door, but then there's all kinds of add-ons. And by the time it's all said and done, it could be a $250 gig, and that gig could take you maybe 10, 20 minutes to fulfill.


You just made $250. Imagine getting one of those gigs through Fiverr every day. You got a $250 a day business now. So don't, don't, you know, don't frown on, on Fiverr and, and the gig economy, because you can actually make a bunch of money that way. At the very least, you can generate quite a bit of leads that way. Okay? pre-sales, you know, one of the things that these two kind of go together, okay? So I'm gonna, I'm gonna talk a little bit about both of these, because pre-selling your own stuff, pre-selling somebody else's stuff affiliate promos are, are huge. We'll talk about that in a minute. There's a caveat to that one. First, let's talk about presale. I just kind of explained a little bit about what it means to create something for someone as a service and charge them money.


So yeah, you're an internet marketer, you're trying to get your recurring income coming in. You're trying to establish yourself as an authority and build a tribe. But in that process, you've developed a couple of skills. Maybe you're a great copywriter. Maybe you're great at, at, at running ads. Maybe you're great at social media. Maybe you're great at graphic design. Maybe you're great at, at site creation I don't know, whatever. You can offer those services to people for a flat fee, right? And, and you're basically just a freelancer. And that's great. However, another thing that you could do is create a product and actually sell it before you are done creating it. This is tricky. This is tricky, right? Because you're gonna basically announce a product or service that you're in the process of developing and offer a discount rate for anybody that adopts it early.


And I've done this very successfully. Like the first person I ever saw doing this was Mike FilAm. And Mike FilAm had this idea for a project but it was gonna cost about a million dollars to do it, and he didn't have enough money to just fund it himself. So he decided, well, you know what? I'm gonna announce the product and I'm gonna launch it as if it exists, but I'm gonna tell everybody that they're just investing in it. They're backing the product like a GoFundMe, and I'm gonna use the money from the launch to develop the product. And if they back me on this, I'm gonna give them way more. And, and they're gonna have it for life, and they're not gonna have to pay anything. When I actually launch the product, and I saw 'em do this with a couple of things.


I saw 'em do this with Groove. I saw 'em do this with a couple of other products. And I was like, man, that is genius. And you know, Mike has done it to the tuner. He's made millions just in the line. He literally funded the development and hired a team of software pro developers and everything just by running a pre-sale. And my, myself, and, and, and, and one of my partners did this quite recently, and we were able to generate six figures before we were even you know, before we even started developing a product. So we had nothing to show but an idea. And we did a webinar to our subscribers, and we said, Hey, this is our idea. This is what we're gonna build. We're gonna do that over the course of the next year. We're building this, and when we launch it, this is what it's gonna cost.


But if you believe in us and you invest right now, this is what it's gonna cost for you. We're keeping, we're gonna keep you updated every week as it progresses. We're gonna show you what we got. And it was amazing. We did over six figures, right on that, on that webinar when we announced it. And over the coming year, we did, I think another $500,000 in the next six months. And the project is a huge success, right? So again, you can create a pre-launch, but just remember that when you do that, you now owe somebody. So you, you've actually, that that deal isn't done until you deliver what you promised them. And it is a powerful way to create something, but you're literally selling something that's in development. It's a great way to generate quick cash, but what ends up happening now is you gotta be quick at executing.


Because what happens to a lot of people is they don't, they don't work the math outright and they end up you know, making a little bit of money from a presale, but then they never finished the thing that they sold, that they pre-sold because they over complicated it, or they overdevelop it. And now they are, they find themselves in a pickle because they have a bunch, a bunch of people that want their money back. So don't get yourself jammed up in that. Now, I wanna talk about promoting an affiliate product. Okay? So, promoting affiliate products is a great way to make extra money to make quick cash. There's always something going on that you can promote. You can actually do this a number of ways, but the caveat to this is that to be successful at promoting products as an affiliate, generally speaking, you have to have an audience.


You have to have people following a tribe. You have to, you have to have people that you can influence in order to get them to click a link that you are gonna get paid for, if they buy, right? So what you can do if you do have a following, let's say on Instagram or on social media, in any one of the, the different social media sites, is you could partner with a, with a company and promote their product to your, to your following. And you can use an affiliate link that they provide, and they track whatever amount of sales you know, go to you. The other thing that you can do when you're promoting products is focus on things that have recurring commission. I think one of the problems that a lot of people run into is they have a lack of cash flow, because they're still in that time for money kind of mentality.


And when you're on the internet trying to build a business that's gonna pay you long term, you have to really try to leverage the fact that it's digital and that you can get paid over and over and over again for the same thing. So you, if you promote a recurring income product, like a software that somebody pays monthly for, you get paid monthly as the affiliate. So it takes the same exact amount of effort to promote a one-time payment product as it does a recurring payment product focused on, you know, those recurring ticket pro. Another thing is high ticket items. So many people are afraid to sell high ticket items because they think, oh my God, nobody's gonna buy a thousand dollar thing from me. Nobody. You know, my, I hate when I hear people say, well, my list is only made up of low ticket buyers.


That's the stupidest thing to assume. The people on your list have mortgage payments, insurance payments, car payments. I assure you, they do not only buy low ticket products, the problem is that you have a hard time showing the value of the high you, you're not connecting the dots properly, and you're just blaming it on the type of buyer when the problem really is the type of selling that you're doing, right? So one of the things that you could do is leverage social media to promote high ticket items, to recommend webinars, high ticket webinars that sell for a thousand dollars. To that. Lemme tell you something. Like I said earlier, it takes the same amount of energy to promote a $1,000 product as it does to promote a $10 product. If you're promoting it through email, it's the same exact effort typing up an email and broadcasting it out through my autoresponder.


If I'm promoting it through social media, it's the same exact effort creating a social media post or, or an ad or whatever it is. The price tag does not affect the amount of work that it takes to promote the product. So why not promote something that's gonna make you more money? It just makes sense. But for whatever reason, people kind of abandon common sense when they come to do things on the internet. Another thing that you could do is sell anything that you're not using. Look around your business. You know, I remember recently seeing someone selling their webinar account. They had a grandfathered webinar account that they were still paying $49 a month, and the current price for that account, for someone to be able to sign up to that company is $500 a month. So they actually auctioned off their account. They actually said, Hey, if anybody wants a grandfathered account, I will let you keep my account.


We could transfer it over into your bank to your, everything. You could, you could literally just take over my grandfathered account. And he auctioned it off, and I think he got a thousand dollars for his grandfathered go-to webinar account, or whatever it is. So think about it. I mean, that makes sense for the person that's buying it. They're gonna make their money back in the first two months, right? Because if the current price of it is $500 and you're getting it for 50 bucks, now I pay a thousand dollars and the rest of this year is all profit for me. Like, I just saved 900, you know, I just saved $450 every single month moving forward. So it just makes sense. So what kind of things can you sell in your business that could create a spike of cash?


Look, when I first started, no shame in my game. I was broke, right? I was broke, and I turned to the internet because I needed money and I was looking for whatever way I could raise money in order to fund my online business. And one of the things that I did was I went to eBay and I auctioned things off. I went to my garage, I looked at stuff you know what they say? One man's trash. There's another man's treasure. So I looked at my garage and said, well, what here would somebody be willing to pay me for? And I went to eBay and I started auctioning things off that I had. And, and one of the things that I found is like, a lot of people make a business outta that, actually, you just gotta find the right ratio on how much it's gonna cost you to ship the item.


You know, if you're selling big, heavy, like, if I go into my garage and I see a piece of furniture, like a cabinet or a desk, like, oh, that's a tougher one to sell, right? You can't ship that. They gotta come pick it up. So, but what about selling ink cartridges, right? I had a whole box of ink cartridges. I ended up selling those, like they were, they were literally being thrown out at my job because they bought my job, bought the wrong type of ink cartridges, and they were throwing them out. And I got them and I said, you know what? I'm gonna put them on eBay. I asked my boss, "Can I keep these? He said, yeah, we're gonna throw 'em out. So I kept, I bought 'em, they were like $50 each. I had like 10 of 'em, and I just put 'em on eBay and I would put in this little thing.


It only cost me like, I think, 75 cents in postage to mail that in a jiffy envelope. So it made sense because it only cost me 75 cents or a dollar, including the envelope to, to, to get 50 bucks. But you know, what I learned doing that kind of thing is that it didn't make sense to try to sell big, heavy, bulky items that we're gonna cost a lot of money. So think about what you have access to that you can that you can sell to generate some quick cash bundle your products. You know, this kind of goes hand in hand with what we were talking about with running a special or running a sale earlier with a coupon. Why not bundle a couple of your products and put them together? Wanna create a bundled product? Grab some material that you can turn into a course that you can get PLR rights to, that you can now put together maybe five or six different PLR products and turn 'em into one cool thing.


Instead of trying to reinvent the wheel. Why don't you just repurpose somebody else's wheel that they've given you permission to use, right? And now you can put that all together, and then you could charge a low price for it where they would have had to pay for, you know, for five things. Now you've put it all together in one low, low package. Here's another thing, webinars, look. This is a little bit more of an advanced skill. If you haven't started doing webinars yet, it's definitely something that's required in the long term of your business to make high ticket recurring commissions. When you start doing webinars, something magical is gonna happen. You're gonna have those four, five, and even six figure paydays. Webinars are a game changer because with a webinar, you can sell somebody outside of the box, okay? Usually the way that internet marketing is done is it's done primarily in the inbox.


You're selling to people in a process of pattern interrupt. They go to their email inbox, they're in the process of checking emails, and your job is to interrupt that process, get their attention, distract them from what they were already doing, get them to click on something, get them to buy something so that you can make money. So it's tough. This is why you see such low conversion rates, because it's pattern interrupt. Marketing webinars are a completely different type of marketing. It is not pattern interrupt marketing. It is scheduled time with the prospect. They're setting an appointment, you're making an appointment with them to have their undistracted attention. So it's not pattern interrupt. They're showing up and they're saying, okay, I'm here. Sell me, pitch me. So hosting a paid webinar or a workshop is a great way to make money, but again, it's gonna require certain skills like how to actually run a webinar.


It's gonna require the software to run the webinar. You can charge people to attend the webinar. You might just want a webinar where you're gonna teach people, maybe you're good at graphic design. You say, Hey guys, I'm gonna charge $20. I'm gonna give a tutorial class on how to use Adobe Photoshop today. We're gonna be covering light and shadow. We're gonna cover this, that, or the other thing. And maybe you're running your own masterclass on it, $20 ahead for people that show up. Maybe you get three people that show up your class at 60 bucks. So you taught something for a couple of hours, or for one hour, and you made 60 bucks. That's more than most college professors make. So I would recommend, you know, doing it, whether it's, you know, again, you're not, you don't necessarily have to create a webinar where you're pitching somebody to buy a thousand dollars thing.


You can charge admission for them to come to the webinar and listen to you teach like a lecture, right? So there's a lot of different ways that you could do this. But having a paid workshop, paid webinar, look, my wife and I did this during COVID. So we, we actually pivoted during covid VID we realized that wow, a lot of people are home right now. A lot of, 'cause remember we were on lockdown, right? So everybody's home was on quarantine, and people now are on the internet. They're afraid of their future. A lot of people lost their jobs, and they're looking for ways to make money. Guess where on the internet? And guess what? We know how to make money on the internet. So we decided to start hosting workshops, and we would do like, it was like $20, $20, $20 for 10 for a day. And they would get, like, what would they get?


They would get a checklist. They'd get I don't remember four videos. There were four videos. So we would do a six hour class, We'd do six hours, and we'd, I think we'd put some breaks in there. And it was great.Yeah, they would show up, it would be $20 ahead. They would pay us in advance. We would do the workshop. It's six hours, and we would teach a skill in each workshop. Mm-Hmm <affirmative>. One might be, you know, making an ebook.Yeah. We also would give them another kind of sheet that they can fill in the blanks. A worksheet. They have a checklist. They have a worksheet. Yeah. And, and they're going to a class. Yeah. You're taking a class, A class, and you're learning a skill. So these people that were coming online to learn how to become internet marketers, I said, okay, well, we're gonna do a class on list building. We're gonna do a class on driving traffic. We're gonna do a class on product creation. We're gonna do a class. And we did a whole bunch of different ones. 


And you know, I remember we would have, you know, sometimes 150, 200 people would pay 20 bucks each. And, and I mean, I'm, it doesn't matter. I'm gonna be there for six hours, regardless. So it was four one hour classes with 20 minute breaks in between. Yeah. And it worked great. I would, I would just create the slides. I would show up and for six hours I'm teaching my voice, I would lose my voice by the end of it. That was probably the worst part of it. But I'm teaching. And the cool thing about it is sometimes we wouldn't have, like if 150 people or a hundred people, I think the first one we did, we had like 150 people that bought, and then, and then the second one had like a hundred, like they went down and down and down. But we think about it, even at 20 bucks each, if you have 150 people that show up, you just made three grand. You know what I mean? Like, that's great. That's awesome. And for six hours now, naturally I had to work the day before preparing all the slides and doing all that, my PowerPoints and all that. But again, it doesn't have to be a webinar that sells this big giant $1,000 thing that you have to fulfill later.


By the end of this webinar, fulfillment was done. Well, A actually, I did record it, and then I put the videos on the website for people that couldn't show up, because some people,
There was nothing to fulfill. There was nothing, there was nothing to actually do. Yeah. So that could be another, you know, like a paid workshop kind of thing. It could be something that you do. Microservices or freelance, I think we kind of talked about this. You know, quick gigs things on Fiverr, things on Upwork. You can get a lot of work on Upwork for any kind of skills that you've already learned. And you can, you can, I mean, if you get competitive with your pricing, you can get work for a few hours a day. And if you think about it three or four hours a day at $15 an hour, that could be 50, 60 bucks.




And what I like about using something like Upwork is that let's say you get someone that they love your work, they love communicating with you, that person will continue to hire you for different gigs. Yeah. You know, or, or they might say, Hey, look, let me hire you for something for the next four months or six months, or something like that. And now you're working with that person and it's steady income for six months, Right? And think of the advantage that you have with AI tools, right? So you can say to somebody, Hey, I'll write social media posts for you. I'll do graphics for you, I'll do, you know, whatever's. And you can use tools and there's sites that you could offer these services on, like Fiverr, Upwork, TaskRabbit, there's, there's all different places out there. If there's a will, there's a way you can find a lot of places to sell your services. Again, like I said, if you were to combine, just take two or three of the ideas from this, from this presentation so far. I guarantee that you can generate cash in the next seven days, right? The last one I wanna talk about, you would think that there would be 10 here, but there's only nine run a referral program. This is something that we did a lot in the beginning.


So one of the things that I focused on in the very beginning of our internet career is viral marketing. So what I would do is I would ask my subscribers to invite their friends to join my list. And if they would do that, I would give them, I would reward them with a free gift. So I would say, Hey, look, if you invite two of your friends, I'm gonna let you download this free training video. And what would happen is they would, they would now you know, share on social media, share on Twitter, share on Facebook, share on YouTube, wherever. And then now when their friends came, their friend would also see the same offer. Say, Hey, click here to enter your name and email, download this free thing. And then when they go to download it, I would say, Hey, look, if you invite some of your friends, I'll give you the videos that go along with this.


So I would create these like viral loops, and I would do it by using tools like buzzing r up viral contest burner. There's a whole bunch of them out there. Again, it's leveraging the subscribers and the reach that you do have to increase your reach. Ask your people that you currently can reach, invite more people that you can reach, and then tell them that you'll, you know, give them something free. You know, now obviously I wouldn't say, Hey, I'll give you $10 for every friend, friend that you refer. But that's more of like an affiliate program. What I'm talking about is more of a free digital download. Hey, I'll give you this free course, or I'll give you this free ebook, or I'll give you this thing if you refer your friends to sign up.


And if one of them makes a sale you know, then you could say, we'll do it through your affiliate link. You could introduce them to your affiliate program. You can teach them what affiliate marketing is. The key is to take some action that's gonna result in generating cash flow. I think we get so hung up in just building our business. I gotta build my list, I gotta get subscribers that we forget that the most important thing is to create cash. So I'm gonna challenge you right now. I'm gonna challenge you to pick one or two of the things on this list that we've talked about today and apply them in your own business. See where you might be able to get creative and maybe even combine a couple of these things. And then create yourself a plan between now and seven days from now to have made some quick cash online.


And you know what's cool is this is gonna get the wheels turning on day three. You're gonna be like, oh man, this is cool. I'm getting some traction. Or, oh wow, I've got some interest in this. Or Man, I, maybe I could do it this way. And before you know it, you'll be generating some cash. You'll have now metrics. So you can look back and say, oh, wow, okay, so I did this, I spent this amount of hours, I made this amount of money. Okay, I'll do it differently next week. I'm gonna do this. And now you can grow from there. You can actually do what we call scaling it all's gotta start somewhere. And I recommend that for you. It's starting right now here. Focus on making some quick, quick cash online this week. And I look forward to seeing you very, very soon. Take care.
