The best tip I can give you today for monetizing online is this:(no, it's not "stay consistent")It's a list of specific tasks. Here they are:• Charge more than you think you should. • Ask questions from people ahead of you.• Never stop learning and improving. • Don't be afraid to look "dumb". • Test your offers, content, and systems. • Make as many connections as you can.• Build multiple income streams. • Making mistakes is okay (learn from them).For me, it's simple. Always embrace what you don't know. If you always think you're "the best" or "smartest person in the room," you'll stay poor and unknown. Keep this in mind when building your one-person business on LinkedIn.—Enjoy this? ♻️ Repost it to your network and follow @alexcolhoun to build your 1-person business on LinkedIn.

1) Test Your Offers, Content, and Systems: Don't just throw things out there and hope for the best. Think of yourself as a mad scientist running experiments. Develop A/B tests to see which headlines resonate more with your audience, what kind of content gets the most shares, or what pricing structure leads to higher conversions. 2) Don't Be Afraid to Look "Dumb":Embrace the beginner's mindset. Asking questions,even if you think they might seem silly, is a sign of growth.The best way to learn is by doing, and sometimes that means stepping outside your comfort zone.3) Build Multiple Income Streams:Relying on a single source of income online can be risky.Spread your bets by exploring different monetization options.This could be a combination of offering freelance services, selling digital products, affiliate marketing, and even building a small subscription-based community. 4) Ask Questions from People Ahead of You:Learn from the experience of those who have already achieved success in your niche. Reach out to established online entrepreneurs, attend industry webinars, or join online communities.Ask targeted questions about their strategies, challenges, and biggest breakthroughs.

We definitely need to keep learning because there is so much for us to learn. And we can bring people more value that way as well.

“Test your offers, content, and systems.” This is the one I need help with the most. I feel all the others seem familiar to me. So, how does one go about testing offers and understanding the results of those tests?

It's so easy to fall into the trap of thinking we have all the answers, but true growth comes from curiosity and humility.

    I'm consistently helping clients obtain 15-20+ new qualified leads each month. The process starts with engaging on LinkedIn.Here's how I create the best comments:1) I Post Daily at 7:07 AM CSTPost around the same time other creators are in your specific niche. Engage with comments on other creator's posts 15 minutes before and after you post.This will:• Drive more engagement. • Push your content to active users.2) Engage with Your CommentsAfter you post, spend 30-45 minutes engaging with your own posts:• Ask questions. • Inspire people. • Express gratitude. • Build your audience.3) Add a 📌 Comment After 10 MinutesYou can "pin" your comments by auto-plugging a pinned emoji.This is the top comment on your post. Here's what works best:• Asking questions. • Providing bonus advice. • Adding additional tips. More comments = more engagement. 4) Use My Engagement SheetI use one for daily engagement. It contains 10-15 creators in my niche that I 100% interact with daily. You'll find it in the comments. • Comment on the creator's posts. • Reply to five other comments in replies. • Rinse and repeat daily. Practice on this post today.

    In just 14 days of content, I'm working with 3 new long-term clients. Here's how I write content that converts: Most of the content you create isn't working: • You're wasting time. • You're wasting energy. • You're wasting money. You can sell a great product... But if your content doesn't convert... You're skipping the top of the funnel. Here's the format of my content: • Addressing Your ICP • Addressing ICP Pain • Providing Ideal Scenarios • Providing Solutions I sent over 29,000 creators my action plan to start creating content that converts.

    You are creating content wrong.Here's how to get better in 30 seconds:• It doesn't matter what your niche is.• Who your target audience is.• Or how often you post.Follow my 6-step framework to start creating content that actually makes you money:1) Make Your Point (Fast)Here's what you need:• Hooks• Bullet Points• Formatting• ListsGet your audience from Point A to Point B as fast as possible. 2) Be Less ConfusingEvery line in your post should make sense. • Stop using 100+ emojis. • Stop talking about 1,000 different things.Write a hook, be super transparent, and end with a firm conclusion. 3) Use My 1-3-1 Formatting Method"Hello, I'm AlexRepost this.And follow me. That's it. Thank you!"This is how the 1-3-1 formatting looks.No need to be fancy. 4) Lengthy Post Doesn't Mean GoodYour post should be shorter than the average iPhone screen.5) Proofread 2/3 TimesThe first draft of your posts are poor. • Go through your posts. • Remove unnecessary words. • Fix the formatting. 6) Pull Your Audience InWrite a powerful hook (first step). Create your hook visually in an image + the first two lines of your post. Hook > ClickbaitKeep focusing on the flow of your content; everything has a purpose. —Enjoy this? ♻️ Repost it to your network and follow me (Alex Colhoun) for more.Want to scale your business even faster?
