How To Make Money Doing ANYTHING!

You have been brainwashed!

You've been fed a huge pile of bull shit about working hard and getting rewarded.

If hard work meant more money, construction workers would be rolling in dough instead of rolling in dirt.

Most creative types are delusional enough to think people should be lining up to buy their crap just because they deem it "valuable." Wake up and smell the covfefe!

The world doesn't give a rat's ass about your passion project.

The cold, hard truth is that 99.9% of you will never make a decent living from your hobbies.

You know why? Because you don't understand the cruel mistress they call "value."

Why People Actually Buy Stuff:

To cash in on your passions, you first need to wrap your head around the concept of value and money.

Money represents an exchange of value - people pay for things that scratch an itch or fulfill a desire. Plain and simple.

If money equals value, and you want to make money doing anything, you better learn how to make that "anything" valuable to others.

What the Hell is Value?

Value is in the eye of the beholder. What one person thinks is pure gold, another might see as a flaming bag of dog poop.

It all comes down to individual perspectives.

For instance, if you're someone who doesn't understand the whole meditation shtick, and someone tries to sell you a meditation course, you'd laugh in their face because you don't see the value in it.

The same principle applies to your work.

So many creators expect others to see their work as valuable without first convincing them it is.

If you want to make money doing anything, you need to persuade people to adopt your worldview so they can see what you see!

You do this by identifying a problem they have, appealing to a goal they want to achieve, and inserting your work as the solution.

That's the value equation in a nutshell:

Problem + Goal + Process = Value

For example, let's say you want to cash in on meditation:

Step 1) Figure out what problem meditation can solve:

Stress, insomnia, addiction, ADHD - that kinda stuff.

Step 2) What's the desired outcome (the goal)?:

Find some damn relaxation and inner peace already.
Finally get some freaking sleep at night.
Curb those annoying cravings, become more self-aware, better coping skills.
Be able to actually focus and pay attention for once.

Step 3) Your solution (the process): Meditation, baby!

What Problems Should You Solve?

The short answer is - solve a problem you give a crap about. But if you need some help, consider these 4 core values everyone wants:

Health - People pay docs, nutritionists, and others to help them not be unhealthy slobs.
Wealth - They'll give money to financial gurus promising to make them filthy rich.
Relationships - Therapists, counselors, and relationship coaches help them not screw up their personal lives.
Happiness - Comedians, artists, entertainers - these folks get paid to make people actually enjoy their miserable lives.

Think about how you could use your passions to solve problems in these eternal markets that people truly value.

That's where you can create value that people will actually pay for.

For example, let's say fitness is your thing:

Health: Start coaching people to exercise and eat like humans instead of hippos.
Wealth: Offer premium training or online courses to help people achieve their fitness/body goals.
Relationships: Organize group workouts or events that bring people together to socialize and sweat.
Happiness: Host fun, engaging fitness stuff that leaves people feeling energized instead of soul-crushed.

The possibilities are endless when you connect your passions to what people actively want and will pay for.

But this is just half the battle...

If you want to rake in real money, you need two things:

People (aka an audience)
Products

If you've been building an audience until now, congrats - you've got some people.

But to get paid, you need to turn your passion into a product.

Types of Revenue Streams:

Making money online boils down to two main ways:

Direct Revenue: Creating your own products/services to sell directly to your audience. Courses, ebooks, merch, consulting, etc.
Indirect Revenue: Using your audience as a vehicle to promote other companies' stuff for a cut via sponsorships, affiliates, or ads.

Most creators combine both approaches.

Like Mr. Beast who sells his own chocolate products but also gets sponsorship deals on his videos.

When starting out, focus on direct revenue by making your own products/services first.

Once you have a big enough audience, then explore indirect income streams.

The 3 Types of Products:

As for what kinds of products to sell, you've got three main options:

Physical Products: Tangible stuff like merch or crafts.
Digital Products: Downloadable/streamable stuff like courses, ebooks, and videos.
Service-Based: Offering a skill like consulting, coaching, or freelancing gigs.

Most smart creators sell a mix of all three types. Think about how you could use your skills to solve your audience's problems and desires.

For instance, say woodworking is your jam. You could sell:

Physical products like hand-crafted furniture or home decor
Digital products like woodworking templates, video tutorials
Services like custom carpentry jobs or private woodcarving lessons

Meanwhile, build that audience by sharing behind-the-scenes stuff, tips, and interviews with other woodworkers.

Then monetize by getting sponsors from tool companies, doing affiliate marketing for wood supplies, offering a paid community, etc.

Successful "Passionpreneurs" wisely combine making their own products AND leveraging their audience.

The Million Dollar Truth:

The million-dollar key is learning how to package your passion in a way that makes people gladly fork over cash for it.

The cold hard fact is, no one will value your work until you SHOW them why the hell they should care.

Spell out their desires, expose their problems, and position yourself as the solution they need.

You make real money by creating an audience that's obsessed with you, and then solving their problems through your products!

If you can master the dark arts of persuasion to make people maniacally passionate about what you do, you can essentially monetize any damn thing.
