The first “online” money I ever made

I still remember when I received my first $1 (it was actually $5) from a donation I received on a free Gumroad product.

Oh how happy and excited I was. Truly I can’t even begin to explain it.

While a single dollar might seem insignificant, the meaning is tremendously powerful. It’s the sign of possibility. The sign of my first victory. The sign of a future.

“If I can make $1, I can make $1,000,000,” I said to myself.

And while I’m nowhere close to making a million dollars. That’s still a belief I hold. Something only made possible thanks to the unlimited amount of leverage the internet gives you—digital leverage.

I’ve also been writing emails for about 2 years now. And it still amazes me time and time again how powerful of a tool this is. Sending out an email and getting paid a nice $100 for more or less 15 minutes of work is always a wonderful feeling. Not to mention the long-term value of building a customer list and a collection of sellable (and scalable) products.

Imagine what the future would look like if you had 5x the list/audience size and double the number of products and value to offer—which are extremely conservative estimations.

Then imagine new launches, promotions, upsells, crossells, all very much repeatable and easily scalable without breaking a sweat.

Yeah.

Long story short: I truly can’t think of a better business model designed and optimized for longevity, autonomy, and freedom.

So my best piece of advice? Start building your email list.
