I think I'm the only multi-million dollar earner that does affiliate marketing who lives in a van.
So it's always a good idea if you're looking to promote a product buy it,
try it, and then promote it because when you start to have 3,000 people that's the easiest
money I think I've ever made. Sure you do not need to be an influencer to to make money online.
Five side houses to get you to your first million my guest today is Adrian Brambila he's the most
notoriously known for generating one million dollars in a year strictly through online side
hustles and today he's going to share not only his best ideas for side hustles but also some ninja
hacks on how to do them properly so you make the most money without spending too much time on these
additional revenue streams and without like taking time away from your family. My name is Kiana
Danial I'm a best-selling author and the founder of the Invest Diva Movement where we're aiming to
help at least one million moms take control of their financial future by the year 2025.
If you're new here make sure to hit that subscribe button and share this with anyone in your life
who could benefit from some additional revenue streams now let's go say hi to Adrian Brambila
Welcome welcome welcome Adrian Brambila I am super excited to have you here
at the Invest Diva Movement.
Uh first of all thank you so much for having me I uh I would love to share um for every all
your listeners at least five different ideas on side hustles that they could get started today
You know one of the five side hustles this is how I make most of my money today is through affiliate
marketing. Affiliate marketing is usually a side revenue for people for me it's my main revenue
which is very strange um but it is possible to run ads and make a nice profit um so I I only
share I don't share this with a lot of people but with your channel, I will so um like profit-wise
uh 2020 it was around $750,000 of affiliate marketing. Essentially
whether you do organic or paid affiliate marketing you're promoting someone else's product and the
number one way you protect yourself and also make your return on your investment is you have to
collect the lead. When after they i've collected their lead I basically I'm going to email them
never spam them but through continuing to provide education and other opportunities
where I can monetize because the best ad doesn't feel like an ad the best marketing doesn't feel
like marketing it's really storytelling and education. So let's just take one
extreme example I can capture a lead today as long as I continue providing education to that person
a couple times a week three years from now they may still be buying the recommendations
so that one lead that I spent $.50 for could be hundreds and hundreds of dollars. So um today I
have over half a million emails of leads and I'm still spending money and I still have organic
content collecting leads on the front end but now with the click of a button I can say click
500,000 people uh um and that are about this new product offer and then all that because I
already paid for that I'm just its money that just comes in with the click of a button it feels like
so it's always a good idea if you're looking to promote a product buy it try it and then promote
it because the last thing you want to do is trick someone it's a very bad business model because all
the effort you put in to collect the lead if they take your recommendation you're like this sucks
I'm never going to buy from you again you just lost your opportunity to continue promoting value
so always think you know affiliate marketing is essentially providing value or playing matchmaker.
So Adrian can you please tell us some other
maybe less things that people who are like literally not entrepreneurial at all can start.
Um absolutely there's a few side hustles which you actually could start today
There are these marketplaces basically these giant websites they have their own ecosystem
of buyers and um how these marketplaces make money is what when you offer a product or service
on these marketplaces they take a commission or they they're basically the affiliate of you
in a way um and so one of these marketplaces um that i actually point people to straight beginners
is called Fiverr, and Fiverr.com is a place traditionally if you've heard of it you might
think fiverr how am i i don't wanna create a gig and make you know $5 for something i need to put
an hour's worth of time well i don't wanna do that either however there right now there's buyers that
are that are real businesses that actually might go to fiverr for like a quick project
um a quick a logo if you do accounting you can do the books for people you can offer
a consultation and so there are high medium and high ticket buyers on fiverr um just right now
i'd say the this is why encouraging you to get started on fiverr because most of the market is
um it's like low ticket low quality offers but what i encourage some of my students to
do is dive in there and create high ticket medium uh ticket offers and you bring in um
a lead and you make money at the same time. It's like you capture the lead if you just are
on time you create good quality product and you care that person you can build a relationship with
and then that goes off of Fiverr and potentially um in perpetuity if you like like a retainer so um
it's one example of lots i have of just tapping into a marketplace right now people are looking
for all different types of gig no joke i saw a gig in there that was someone who is gonna teach you
or do tarot cards for you. I saw someone that's gonna cast a spell i mean there's some weird
stuff you can make money in a lot of weird ways on the internet so think of that first gig no matter
what the price point is $1, $5, $500 it's the very first time you've just made a relationship
so it you'll leave money on the table if you don't have a way to upsell them and continue
adding value so you can say hey if someone does pay you $100 for your service how do they pay you
$500 and that's something that doesn't have to be on fiverr it shouldn't be actually that goes
into your own business or do you have a course that you can recommend them or something else.
All right so so far Adrian has talked about affiliate marketing and Fiverr's gig economy
that you can get started fast alright so Adrian what else do you have up your sleeve.
um so this this next side hustle um whether you want to teach dance or something else there's
marketplaces that exist for small mini-classes I'm not talking about a master class that you sell
super high ticket thousands of dollars I mean that's a great revenue model too I'm talking
about what's something that you could teach that you know that could help someone that is literally
20 minutes long 30 minutes long and placing it on those two marketplaces I usually appoint
people to recommend um it's Skillshare and Udemy and this these are where uh smaller ticket um
courses, course marketplaces where literally whatever you're good at it's all for a game.
Um when I lived in Dublin, Ireland I went to I met friends who worked at Udemy and I asked
them the question I was like okay tell me what's the best what makes the most money on Udemy like
like what is it I do I gotta like you know learn how to build rockets like what is it I'll do it
like tell me. And the guy was like you know what it actually is it's simple life lessons
that apply to the masses I was like what do you mean, like most people when they're going to get
a job interview they they they would purchase or they would watch on how to prepare for that job
interview or how to even dress what is business casual and how to dress for business casual
like very basic stuff that I probably uh and you like this is all seems like common sense to us but
it's not common sense to the masses of people so very very basic information that that you
may think like who's gonna watch this that is actually the masses and then the biggest money
uh revenue opportunities if you are uh creating content for the masses that can help a lot of
people with like just living. Um is those that that type of content gets licensed to universities
and to organizations and when that happens that's where you can your little 20-30 minute
class can actually make six figures from uh getting integrated in those systems so.
Upwork is a place where you can get started and that's where I got started doing marketing as a
service again you may not know marketing you can offer other things accounting so many different
options um and then after you're doing uh working on Upwork you want to get off of Upwork because
they're taking a lot of your money. um and then the beauty of uh establishing that relationship
is then saying um in the service-based business it's great because you get to talk to your clients
hopefully weekly and they are mentioning and maybe you got a gig to say hey uh we just need
to help posting on Instagram so you're posting on Instagram and they say hey this Tik-Tok thing
i should we be on it and they're asking you now because you're working for them and you say yeah
and i you should be on it and i actually know everything about Tik-Tok and if you don't then
it's a good thing to actually just like say you'll you know you can
and then go learn it because it's all learnable, and then you say um and i'd be willing to do
that for you but could we actually do this one off Upwork. and um that you know just you know
since you're already working with me on instagram this could just be like a $1,000, $2,000, $5,000
you know your price um and then you just you just made more revenue from your client which is always
the easiest thing to do and now you've established yourself off Upward and then you keep listening
you keep listening and that's how you can turn a $1,000 client to a $10,000 our client
is just listening and seeing where you can add value what are their problems were there
challenges but getting in it's the hardest part and that's why upwork love hate it they're going
to take your money but that's where that's where real businesses go to find freelancing
and if you do a good job again people business you can establish a relationship and then land
retainers to build that agency type of model. If you don't want to learn how to do it you don't
have to either you can be the salesperson salesman saleswoman land the client and then have your
book of e-lancers freelancers execute the work now if you do this model you always want to
make sure that you at least know enough to know if it's done properly and well.
So okay so so far let's recap we had we had affiliate marketing we have Fiverr we have Udemy
and Skillshare skillshare and then then Upwork, but looking at it as becoming a service for a
different so this is your server this is your backup this is your high ticket offer
even if you have like one client is going to pay you a bunch per month again another
revenue stream boom all right awesome last but not least Adrian what else do you have
I thought of a different revenue stream from learning how other ways you can make money
still utilizing influence with a value kind of driven theme
and this is one that's being underutilized actually there's a couple financial marketers that
i think they're the most that do it which is um marketing a paid newsletter and this is where uh
you are actually selling to basically send a super catered crafted email
so with your words and you're charging basically nothing i'm talking like a $1 - $3 max a month
um but the math is crazy so on my paid newsletter i'm literally writing as i would a journal and
i have the advantage today of uh of an influencer if you're someone who has no influence and no
followers it's gonna look very different for you because you're gonna have to go because you you
can't offer your influence uh and you don't have many fans yet you have to stress the value of what
people are getting value influence i'm at a point with at least my small little raving fans where i
don't have to go 100% value i can literally just write an email that says hey everybody these are
my thoughts that's what i'm thinking about this week and then for uh maybe those people are crazy
but they like love it they eat it up and they're like this is so awesome and they respond they
tell me their life story and they're paying $2 a month uh for this newsletter and they're getting
an email every single um week and um $2 not a lot of money but when you start to have 3,000 people
that's the easiest money i think i've ever made and it's reoccurring but um might if there's one
revenue stream if you're getting started online business you have you have nothing right now
where you should think what you should think about is how can you make money from the same person
on a residual basis that answer in the pursuit of that is so much smarter than basically majority of
my time as an internet marketer as i chased trends and demands i sold and the next month i started at
zero and just finally you know we're all learning here in the last couple years i'm like how do i
transfer and focus all my energy on recurring revenue so this is an influencer model but in a
very different way it's not based on your video it's based on your words so if you're good at
copywriting if you're good at storytelling i'm not a creative writer so uh now it's like half journal
half value and my thoughts and people are willing to spend at least two bucks a month and as i scale
that out it could be a serious revenue stream and the easiest money that i'll continue to make.
and um i i would like to add something to what one last one last passive income to this you probably
already see this coming but once you get all this money coming in even if it's like $50 per month
if it's like $100 per month where do you put it don't go spend that money go invest that money
because then all the money that you're bringing in passively is now gonna have babies in the back end
without you even being involved so definitely go ahead and invest that money. Adrian how can people
learn more about you can you please share your hands with actually add it to right over here or
here on YouTube or in the description area but where is the best place for people to find you
um yeah my uh what i have i have a program that teaches beginners um you know how to make their
first you know i would say ten thousand dollars online if someone is already making significant
revenue this probably wouldn't be a good fit but um if you go to brambilamethod.com/kiana
it's going to go to a landing page and it has a is a really cool special offer
in there just from any one of your followers who may have any interest
at all so um what does it do it will basically teach you those bootstraps
what equity type of business models and on how to get uh started and making money
online it's catered really just for beginners someone who's never made a buck online before.
oh love it love it love it that's like literally for our audience who are interested in investing
but they're not making money thank you so much, Adrian, oh my gosh we're gonna add
