If you’re thinking of a side-hustle, but don’t have a lot of money, I suggest you become a life coach. I know, it sounds sleazy. But being a life coach or “influencer” online is one of the most efficient and effective ways to start a side business, especially if you’re from a poor country. It might seem like a bad business idea. It’s hard to get traffic online after all. But I think that if you’re persistent and smart, self-improvement blogging and life coaching is one of the best ways to make money online. You can’t lose if you do it methodically.
You are not a scammer as long as you’re honest
This is a very amoral thing to say, but it’s true. As long as you’re honest, you aren’t a scammer. The world has a lot of people out there who are purposefully repeating nonsense. If you tell the truth, and honestly try to give advice, you’re way ahead of the curve. I’ll circle back to this subject later in the article.
The world is full of bloggers and journalists, which means that people are getting paid for their writing
It’s less popular in North America than it was before, but writing online for a living is extremely prevalent. More visual forms of making content online have come about, but the fundamental business of writing articles remains highly prevalent, and it’s possible to create and find value by engaging in it. You need to create a lot of content to move the needle, especially on a global scale. But it’s still possible if you’re willing to put in the time and effort. He who remains consistent will win. And he who wins, controls the minds of the masses. Make your voice heard so that you can get power, whether it be financial, social, or political.
People are always looking for advice, or to learn how to make money
This is a new thing, brought on by the advent of the cellphone. Social media allows those who are so inclined to sit passively and scroll, waiting for self-improvement advice to come up. If they see something, they click on it. A customer is created when people are able to relate to your content and make a purchase as a result. Or they were shopping, and your work influenced them to make a choice. If you can teach people something and put it in front of them then you’re winning.
You can be a life coach by talking about your life experiences
This is the best way to look at the profession. Anything else is a bit shady. Someone can be a business leader, but a criminal. Another person might be loving and kind, but an incorrigible alcoholic. Not many people are completely qualified to be life coaches. But the internet allows you to broadcast and monetize the human experience. This means that as long as you’re honest, you can make money and develop a good reputation. People don’t care who you are nowadays as long as you can help them.
Self improvement mints money
This is about cultivating a cult fanbase and getting a lot of products to be sold. It’s easier said than done, but the returns are massive when you get it done. Selling a lot of products with just organic content creation isn’t easy. Even if you’re profiting $100, you need to sell 120 units per year to earn just $12,000. You have little hope of doing if you’re driving under 5,000 views per month. This means that your only hope in today’s world are high-ticket sales and affiliate marketing.
Don’t create too much content
Most people don’t create enough content. This means that the best way to set yourself apart as a self-improvement content creator is to create a crapload of content and put yourself in the top 1% of creators. But at a certain point, you need feedback. Make sure to know when to stop creating content, and when to start giving social media a look. You want to get eyeballs and feedback ASAP, that’s what gets you paid.
If you’re looking to start a business and are out of ideas, start a life coaching or self-improvement business. It’s a great way to make money online, learn important media-creation skills, SEO, and business practices. If you’re young and unemployed, I suggest you share your life experiences online. If you have some lessons to impart, you can share them. It’s hard to lose if you do this. Just make sure to be honest and respectful, and don’t get banned from social media. If you do, try again after tweaking your content strategy. If you can get something of a following, your life will change forever.
Thanks for paying attention.
