at 22 years old I make over $1.3 million per year with a oneperson business working just 4 hours per day I don't have full-time staff I don't have regular team meetings and I don't have to work weekends this gives me complete time freedom to go on spontaneous holidays spend quality time with my mom which would be impossible if I was running a traditional business but the craziest part is when I got started I built my oneperson business from0 to $10,000 per month with barely any business skills and just my iPhone now recently I've seen a
bunch of videos talking about how beginners can do the same but honestly most of these videos are super confusing the truth is if you want to make $10,000 per month with a oneperson business there's really only three simple steps you need to follow so in this video I'm going to break down each one starting with picking your million dooll Niche you've probably heard people talk about how important it is to pick the right Niche when starting an online business but here's the thing I see so many new creators following general advice like pick a niche
you're passionate about or choose a trending topic and while these are important I found there's actually one thing you need to do first to make sure your Niche is going to make you a bunch of money and I call it pain targeting it only takes an extra 1 to 2 minutes before picking a niche but it is the exact reason why my oneperson business has been able to produce results like this this and this basically it's where you find a niche that targets a very specific pain point that millions of people are experiencing this is
because all business simply comes down to is solving problems for people the bigger the problem you solve the more money you get paid that's why a CEO gets paid 150 per hour while their employees only make 20 the CEO solves much bigger problems in the company therefore gets paid more and it's the same for your oneperson business the bigger the problem you're able to solve for people the more you're going to get paid this is why back in 2020 when I picked my Niche I chose Finance Not only was I passionate about it but I
also knew that young people desperately want to learn how to make more money it was a giant problem that millions of people around the world experienced and I knew that if I could share honest and valuable information on how I was able to make money then I would attract a loyal audience that I could eventually sell products to and that's exactly what happened by making content around the pain point I was able to build my oneperson business to $10,000 per month in just 12 months so now let's break down exactly how you can pick a
pain solving Niche to hopefully achieve similar results okay so the first step I want you to do is open open up a fresh Google Docs page and start writing down things you're passionate about or that you have skills in this could be things like playing the guitar going to the gym playing video games or baking then when you have a list of 10 to 20 things start to go through your list and remove the ones that don't solve a big problem for millions of people for example origami is cool but it doesn't solve a big
problem for people so it's probably not a great Niche to get into but something like going to the gym does Fitness solves massive problems like weight loss more energy or boosting self-confidence which means this would be a great potential Niche then once you've narrowed down your list to 3 to five you can come over to Google Trends and compare which Niche is the most popular I'm going to compare guitar the gym and gardening because all three solve big burning problems for people and as you can see guitar and JY completely smash gardening as trending niches
in the past 5 years so if I was picking a niche I would go with one of these because not only do they solve a big problem but they're also getting a lot of attention the awesome thing is that not only does picking a pain driven Niche increase chances that you'll make money but it also makes creating content around your Niche so much easier which leads me to The Next Step start posting posting value on social media and build a loyal audience with viral content so once you picked your pain solving Niche the next step
to building a oneperson business is to grow an audience that will buy your products and honestly I believe that this is one of the greatest opportunities of Our Generation it's crazy to me that so many people are asleep to the fact that we are in one of the biggest economic shifts in history for example I love when Gary ve said cost of starting a business or producing content in today's digital age is dramatically lower than it's ever been today the barrier to entry is practically zero just 15 years ago it required tens of thousands of
dollars to start a business now there's people like Dan Co who run a one-person business that makes $400,000 per month by simply posting content online this is why I believe that if you've been thinking about starting an online business you shouldn't wait much longer more and more people are waking up to the opportunity and the competition is only going to increase but I get it posting content online can be scary especially when you're stuck worrying about what your friends and family will think and whether you're the type of person to make this business work but
don't worry I'm going to share with you a five-step process that I believe is the fastest and easiest way to build an audience online in fact it's the reason I was able to go from0 to100 ,000 followers in Just 2 months when I first started so the first step is to pick a short form content platform this is because it's much easier to make a simple 30-second video compared to creating a 15 minute long YouTube video plus short form content is where you're going to get the most attention because platforms like YouTube shorts Tik Tok
and Instagram reals have a much wider reach than long form videos once you picked a platform the next step is to find the top three creators in your Niche for example for me I started on Tik Tok and used creators like Gary ve and Graham Stefan as inspiration what I would do is find their most popular videos break down why they worked and then copy the same format as them but with my own unique twist here are some examples of videos I made at the beginning of my journey another thing to notice is how these
videos are focused on solving people's pain points which is one of the easiest ways to make content you simply just pick one of the burning pain points in your Niche and then explain how your audience can solve them so I followed both these content strategies and stuck to a strict 1 to two videos per day schedule and was able to build my Tik Tok account to 100,000 followers in just one year then once your accounts start to take off you can start to expand to other platforms like YouTube but one question I get all the
time is but what if I don't want to show my face can I still make content and build a oneperson business and the answer to that is yes in fact in a moment I'll explain exactly how you can make $10,000 per month without having to show your face but first let's talk about the next step creating a minimum viable offer which is selling products so once you picked a niche and you're building your audience the last step and final step to building your one person business is to Simply monetize your account now what most people
immediately jump to is creating their own digital product but here's why I think this is a terrible idea for beginners digital products can sometimes take months to create not only that but you also need a landing page equipment to film and expensive softwares which can end up costing you hundreds or even thousands of dollars in the beginning and this is all before you even know if your product is going to sell that's why I recommend that beginner content creator actually start with affiliate marketing because that way you can test what products your audience wants to
buy before you invest a bunch of time and money into creating your own product not only that but if you make content that solves a problem for people and link your affiliate product as the solution you can start making money straight away even without a large following but like I said before what if you're the type of person that doesn't feel comfortable on camera well don't stress because I've recently discovered a way you can build a oneperson affiliate marketing business to $10,000 a month without having to show your face I call it faceless affiliate marketing
and it's helping my students like jay make $111,000 in his first 3 months and Caleb who's made $118,000 in just 1 month basically how it works is you're going to create a Pinterest account and post images around the niche you've picked for example here are some Imes that I recommend you post these posts are designed to grab your audience's attention so they click your link so once you have your posts ready next you want to create a simple website on Shopify that you can put all your affiliate links on I recently developed a free AI
