Currently on a 12h flight, so I really want to share with you guys the reality I've understood these last 4 years trying to make money online.
Read this and after, ask me everything in comments or DM 👇
The actual REAL roadmap (6-18 months) for every type of business (it worked for me and a lot of people I know):
1/ Find THE legit group/course: (I spent 4 months to find legit ones)
Spend weeks trying to find it (YouTube, X, everywhere).
The most legit course or community you can find, and lock in for months asking questions and following the course.
(In ecom, you have
@zakaria_airak 's community and
@shauneng the most legit guys I know.)
2/ Focus on ONE skill that prints money.
Copywriting, sales,
Pick one you don’t hate and get dangerously good.
“become an AI expert” is not a skill.
“learning copywriting marketing to write good ads” is a huge skill.
3/ VOLUME. Then more volume (never stop pushing volume)
1000 emails.
150 scripts.
5000 cold calls.
Stop asking “will this work?”
It works. People are doing it right now. Why not you?
Every day. No exceptions.
4/ NOW scale with AI, but be careful:
it’s not about prompts.
It’s about feeding tools like Claude the right context, files, and examples (need to understand every file you put in INPUT)
like briefing a smart intern.
it only works if you nailed 1–4.
AI scales what you have.
If you have nothing, it scales nothing.
5/ Find your zone of genius (what you actually like doing every day without any problem)
Double down.
Hire, partner, or trade for the rest.
You’re not supposed to be good at everything (need to generate your first $$$ before this )
6/ Close this app. (limit to 15 m / day, or you will have the famous shiny object syndrome)
Most people here talking about AI or flexing stuff:
– selling something
– building something to sell you
– or about to
but you already know that, right? 👽
7/ Go touch grass.
You’ll see $50k/month screenshots and feel behind.
You’re not.
Close the laptop for 3 days.
Go outside. See people. Reset.
Then come back and start at step 1.
REMEMBER : The people winning in 12 months won’t have the best prompts.
They’ll be the ones who closed the tabs and did the work without overthinking too much.
Thanks for reading, please ask everything, I'll try my best to help...
