💰 How to make your first dollar online

There are various ways in which you can go about doing this. This is the basic blueprint you can follow:

  1. Identify your strengths: What is it you are good at? What is it that someone will be willing to pay you for? What is in demand? What do you enjoy? If you can find something in the intersection of all these things, that is the perfect place to be.
  2. Write about your expertise online: Whatever it is you are knowledgeable about, start writing about it online. You don't have to create a piece of content every day. But whatever frequency you are able to keep up per weeek, stick to that no matter what. It can always increase but never decrease.
  3. Network: Connect with new people every week. Document this process and keep track of every person that you connect with. In doing so you can make sure to stay on top of all your relationships.
  4. Create an offer: If someone were to come to you for help, what would you help them with? What would your process look like? (Write this down)
  5. Reach out to help 2-3 people for free (Optional): If you are able to build a case a few case studies, this will help strengthen your position when you approach new clients in the future.
  6. Marketplaces: Depending on your area of expertise you could also check out platforms such as fiverr. For example data analytics and 3D prototyping type of services are high in demand without too many people offering this service.
  7. As part of your networking, start to find people who would be prospective clients for your service. In many cases if you consistently show up and crerative content that speaks to your ideal audience, it would build the confidence needed for someone to give your service a shot.
  8. Bonus: UGC content is in demand. It's basically when you sign up to be someone who would create content that a brand can use. You would be the actor, director, producer and you get paid for it + FREE products if you're into that. You don't need an audience to do this but you need to know how to create content. Thats it.

🤖 ChatGPT Prompt: How to generate content ideas for your personal brand

"You are an expert in coming up with content ideas that have the potential to go viral on social media. Come up with 5 recent topics that I can create content on the topic of Generative AI which has super high chances of going viral on Linkedin as a written post.

Here is what I would like you to do :

  1. Look for similar keywords on the internet
  2. Read some articles on the internet
  3. Comeup with 5 topics that I can explore with a score next to it on the possibility of going viral from a scale of 1-10

Note: You would have to use GPT4.0 or Bard or Co-pilot to use this as it would need access to the internet. This is also only a starting point and in no way perfect. It's just to get you going.
