0:00You'll never make $10,000 a month until
0:02you understand this. This is Joey. He
0:05got straight A's at school and graduated
0:07from university top of his class. He had
0:10high hopes for the future and knew he
0:11had something special. His reward was a
0:13job that pays $5,473
0:17per month, coupled with a constant
0:19stress over his student loans, the
0:21rising cost of living, and the fear of
0:23being replaced by AI. That's a real
0:25number based on an actual survey from
0:28over 70,000 bachelor's degree graduates.
0:31So, [music] if Joey worked this hard and
0:33still didn't manage to make $10,000 per
0:35month, surely it's impossible, right?
0:38Not at all.
0:39>> [music]
0:39>> This is Kai. He got kicked out of school
0:42for being disruptive and there was no
0:44way he was getting into university. Like
0:47Joey, he also had high hopes for the
0:49future, but without a path to follow, he
0:51started to think independently. His
0:54reward was an income of over $15,000
0:57per month, coupled [music] with no debt,
0:59and the ability to travel the world
1:01whenever he wants. Not only this, but
1:04instead of fearing AI will replace him,
1:06he actually uses it to make more money.
1:09As I'm sure you've gathered, Joey
1:11[music] represents the path most people
1:13are told to follow. However, Kai, he's a
1:15real person who earns three times more
1:18than people who are 10 times more
1:20qualified than him. And it's not just
1:22Kai. There are lots of examples of
1:24people just like him earning way more
1:27than most people even think is possible.
1:29So, what are these people doing that
1:31Joey isn't and how can it even be fair?
1:34Well, [clears throat] while others were
1:35so focused on achieving good grades,
1:37going to university, and getting a
1:39[music] job, these guys were paying
1:41attention to where the world was
1:43actually going and they all became
1:44something called a digital architect.
1:47This is the number one way to make money
1:49online. It blows every other method out
1:52of the water. Now, let me be clear. I'm
1:54not saying going to university is a bad
1:56thing. It's needed for a lot of jobs in
1:58society, and if making money isn't your
2:01main ambition, then be my guest.
2:03However, if you want to hit $10,000 a
2:05month, and more importantly, have a life
2:07of freedom, adventure, and wealth, then
2:10in this video, I'm going to show you how
2:12you can quickly and easily become a
2:13digital architect, just like these guys.
2:18Everyone's [music] talking about looks
2:19maxing, when they should be talking
2:21about talent maxing, because honestly,
2:24the worst advice anyone can give you is
2:26to improve your weaknesses. The school
2:28system has told you to do this for
2:30years. If you're bad at maths, they make
2:32you do extra lessons. If you don't like
2:34public speaking, they force you into it.
2:37And if you hate languages, then tough
2:39luck, as you'll have to spend hours
2:41trying to learn one anyway. They treat
2:43us all the same and disregard our
2:45natural talents. And you can actually
2:47see the effect of that. One study found
2:49that 98% of five-year-olds scored at
2:52genius level for divergent thinking,
2:54which is basically the ability to come
2:56up with lots of original ideas. But by
2:59adulthood, that drops to just 2%. So,
3:02it's not that people aren't talented,
3:04it's that it all gets trained out of
3:05them. Before you say, "I don't have any
3:07natural talents," check this out. It's
3:10called the talent tree, and believe it
3:12or not, your talent is on here
3:14somewhere. That's because everyone, no
3:16matter your level of education, fits
3:18into at least one of these four main
3:20categories. So, while I'm going through
3:22this with you, make sure to note down
3:24where you are on the tree, because once
3:26you know that, we'll know exactly what
3:28kind of digital architect you can
3:30become. The first type is the organizer.
3:33These are the people who bring structure
3:35to chaos. They're good at planning,
3:37systems, and keeping things running
3:39smoothly. The second type is the
3:41analyst. They're good at breaking things
3:43down, spotting patterns, and figuring
3:45out what actually works. The third type
3:48is the communicator. They're good at
3:50explaining things clearly, influencing
3:52others, and getting people to buy into
3:54something. The fourth type is the
3:56creative. They see things differently,
3:58connect dots others don't, and come up
4:01with new ways of doing things. So, those
4:03are the four types of natural talents.
4:06Hopefully, you've got the area you
4:07identify most with written down. From
4:09now on, if you're serious about making
4:11$10,000 per month, then you need to make
4:14a promise to yourself that you're only
4:16going to work in the area where you have
4:17a clear advantage. I'm breaking this
4:19down in even more depth in the free
4:21virtual event I'm running very soon. Not
4:23just what your advantage is, but how you
4:26can go from where you are now to hitting
4:28$10,000 per month without needing
4:30startup capital or experience. So, if
4:33you're serious about increasing your
4:35income, then make sure to sign up for
4:36that. I'll leave a link in the
4:38description.
4:41>> [music]
4:41>> The fastest way to make $10,000 a month
4:44online is to sell a digital service, but
4:47you'll never get close to that amount of
4:48income unless you follow the three
4:50golden rules.
4:52Make a business more money, save a
4:55business time, or save a business money.
4:58That's why Service Maxin is all about
5:00finding a service that does one or more
5:03of those things, and also plays into
5:05your natural talents. This is where most
5:07people get stuck as they don't know what
5:09to actually do. So, to make it easy for
5:11you, I've loaded this grid up with the
5:13top five online services you can offer
5:15right now. After I reveal each one, I'll
5:18let you know exactly what this service
5:19is, why it makes money, and most
5:22importantly, who's best suited based on
5:24talent type. By the way, all of these
5:26have the potential to make you over
5:28$10,000 per month, and they're in no
5:30particular order. For now, don't worry
5:32about how to do the service. They can
5:34all be learned very quickly anyway. The
5:36important thing right now is
5:37understanding which one best suits you.
5:39So, let's kick this off with brand
5:41identity. This one sounds complicated,
5:44but it's really not. It involves
5:45designing the look and feel of a
5:47business from the logo and colors to the
5:49fonts, images, and overall style that
5:52makes it instantly recognizable. I've
5:54made my dislike of designer brands very
5:56clear over the years. However, they are
5:58the perfect example of how valuable good
6:01branding is. A lot of people say that
6:02designer items cost more because of the
6:04quality or the level of service, but
6:06that doesn't justify the majority of
6:08their huge price tags. That purely comes
6:11down to the perception of the brand
6:12itself. That's why a brand identity
6:15service is so valuable to businesses as
6:17it can allow them to charge much higher
6:19prices for the same product or service,
6:21which ultimately makes a business more
6:24money. This type of online service is
6:26perfect for the creative as it requires
6:29them out of the box visual thinking.
6:31However, not just that, the organizer
6:33will do well here, too, because of the
6:35timelines, the client feedback, and the
6:38deliverables are just as important as
6:40the design itself. Next up is AI
6:43automation. Now, this one is massive
6:45right now, and it's only getting bigger.
6:47It involves building AI systems that
6:50automate repetitive tasks. Stuff like
6:53responding to customers, generating
6:55reports, scheduling, data entry, the
6:58admin tasks that someone in the business
7:00is currently doing manually every single
7:02day. Just think, every hour a business
7:05spends on a task that could be automated
7:07is money down the drain. So, when you
7:09come in and fix it, you're not just
7:11saving them time, you're saving them
7:13money, too, which means you're hitting
7:15two of our three rules at once. This one
7:18suits the analyst because you need to
7:20look at a business and identify exactly
7:22where the inefficiencies are, but also
7:25the organizer because building these
7:27systems requires quite a structured
7:29logical approach. Next,
7:31deal making. This one might surprise you
7:34because it's not about a technical skill
7:35at all. It involves connecting
7:38businesses with opportunities. Think
7:40sponsorships, brand deals, and
7:42partnerships. You're essentially the
7:44person in the middle who makes things
7:46happen. Businesses will happily pay a
7:48finder's fee or a commission when you
7:50bring something valuable to the table,
7:52as this directly makes a business money.
7:55So, who's best suited to take something
7:57like this on? Well, firstly, it has to
7:59be the communicator, without a doubt. If
8:01you're naturally persuasive, confident
8:04on calls, and good with people, this is
8:06your lane. But, the organizer can play a
8:09big role, too, because juggling multiple
8:11deals, follow-ups, and relationships is
8:13super important. All right, now for
8:16video editing. This isn't about sitting
8:18there cutting clips for fun. It involves
8:20editing video content that grows a
8:23business's audience and generates
8:25revenue. Think YouTube channels, ads,
8:28social media content, and sales videos.
8:30This is the kind of content that
8:32actually makes a difference, as
8:33businesses that show up consistently on
8:35video grow faster, sell more, and build
8:38trust quicker than those that don't.
8:40But, most business owners have no idea
8:42how to edit and no time to learn. A good
8:45editor who understands what performs
8:47well is genuinely hard to find and can
8:49both save a business time and make them
8:52more money. The obvious person that's
8:54suited to this is the creative. You need
8:57a real eye for pacing, storytelling, and
8:59what looks good on screen. But, the
9:01analyst is just as important here,
9:03because the best editors aren't just
9:05making things look pretty, they're
9:07studying what performs and why. And
9:09last, but absolutely not least, funnel
9:12creation. This one is probably the most
9:14directly tied to money out of everything
9:17on this list. It involves building the
9:19online journey that turns a stranger
9:22into a paying customer. Think landing
9:24pages, email sequences, checkout flows,
9:27upsells, the whole shebang. A great
9:30funnel can double or triple what a
9:31business makes from the exact same
9:33amount of traffic. You're not getting
9:34them more exposure, you're making them
9:37more money from the leads they already
9:39have. The organizer will thrive here
9:42because a funnel is essentially a
9:43detailed system with a lot of moving
9:46parts that all need to work together.
9:48The same goes for the analyst because
9:50the best funnels aren't built on gut
9:51feeling, they're built on data, testing,
9:54and understanding what makes people buy.
9:56I know this might just look like another
9:58list of different side hustles, but
10:00don't think of them like that. Think of
10:02them as vehicles that can get you to
10:0410,000 dollars a month. As a digital
10:06architect, your vehicle might look
10:08slightly different depending on where
10:10you're trying to go and what suits you
10:12best, but the destination stays the
10:14same. I mean, what if I told you the
10:16type of service you pick isn't actually
10:19that important as long as it follows the
10:21three rules we talked about earlier and
10:24it leans into your natural strengths,
10:26you can get to at least 10,000 dollars a
10:28month. Right now, the most important
10:30thing is just picking one and sticking
10:32with it because in the next steps, I'm
10:34going to show you how to take any of
10:35these services and supercharge it as a
10:38digital architect. We'll be going over
10:40all of this in even more depth on the
10:42free live virtual event that I'm running
10:44soon. So, make sure to click the link in
10:46the description to sign up for that if
10:47you haven't already.
10:49>> [music]
10:52>> The biggest lie young people are told is
10:54that learning happens before earning. I
10:57mean, for the first 18 years of your
10:59life, you're forced to sit in a
11:00classroom for hours on end and learn
11:02stuff, but never actually apply it to
11:05the real world. The truth is, if you
11:07want to make 10,000 dollars a month
11:09quickly, then you need to be learning
11:11and earning at the same time. This is
11:14the skill maxing loop and I designed it
11:17for my son when he left school at 18. He
11:19wanted to become a videographer and
11:21video editor, but said he wasn't ready.
11:23For context, he'd been making little
11:26YouTube videos for a while, but didn't
11:27have any formal training. I told him to
11:30forget what school had taught him about
11:32learning and instead follow my method as
11:34it would make him richer a lot faster.
11:37He actually listened to me for once and
11:39thank God he did as he now makes way
11:42more than $10,000 a month following the
11:44exact method I'm about to teach you.
11:46Don't worry if you don't want to be a
11:47videographer, it can be applied to any
11:50type of service. First, you need to
11:52define your service. In the last step,
11:55you already picked what you're going to
11:56do, but now you need to strip it back to
11:59its simplest, most usable form. Not the
12:02perfect version in your head. This is
12:04where people let themselves down. They
12:06take something simple and then
12:08overcomplicate it. They start adding
12:10extras, trying to perfect it all because
12:13they don't feel ready. I can't tell you
12:15how many times I've been stopped in the
12:17streets by people saying, "I want to be
12:19a billionaire. What should I do?" And
12:21honestly, that's part of the problem.
12:24They're aiming so big that they don't
12:25even know where to start. There's
12:27nothing wrong with having big ambitions,
12:29but if all your focus is on the end
12:31goal, you never actually take the first
12:33step. So instead of thinking about a
12:35billion, focus on hitting $10,000 a
12:38month because if you don't have
12:39something realistic to aim at right now,
12:41you'll just sit there overthinking it.
12:43So how can you actually define your
12:45service? Well, for my son, it wasn't
12:48become a professional videographer or
12:50build a creative agency. It was simple,
12:53edit videos for businesses. So take your
12:56service and reduce it down to one clear
12:58thing that you can deliver. It'll make
13:00your life a whole lot easier. Second,
13:03you need to sell your service. Not learn
13:06more, not tweak your offer, not sit
13:08there getting better. Sell. This is
13:11where most people hesitate. They think
13:13they need more knowledge before they can
13:14charge. My son did the exact same thing.
13:17I told him to get out there and start
13:19selling his videography service to local
13:21businesses, but he said he didn't know
13:23enough to charge. I told him, "Trust me,
13:26son. There is no better teacher than the
13:29real world." So, he went out there and
13:30started booking meetings with local
13:32businesses. And yeah, 99% of them said
13:35no. But, that's the point. Because
13:38eventually, one said yes, a local
13:40caravan park. So, accept you aren't
13:42perfect and get out there and start
13:44selling. Every rejection teaches you
13:47something. It's about getting in front
13:48of people and learning what actually
13:50lands. Thirdly,
13:52you need to deliver your service. This
13:54is where you actually get paid and more
13:56importantly, where you actually get
13:58good. Because it's all well and good
14:00practicing by yourself. However, until
14:02you have a paying client, you never
14:04really know what the most valuable
14:05things are to focus on. You also don't
14:08get real feedback, which is sometimes
14:10hard to hear. With my son, as soon as
14:12that caravan park said yes, everything
14:14changed. He couldn't hide behind I'm not
14:16ready anymore. He actually had to sit
14:18down, film the videos, meet
14:20expectations, and figure it all out as
14:23he went. And that's exactly what
14:25happened. Because when there's money
14:26involved, you just operate differently.
14:28You pay more attention, you learn
14:30faster, and you fix mistakes quickly.
14:33Because there's actual pressure
14:35involved. It's the same no matter what
14:36service you picked. If it's video
14:38editing, you're not just messing around
14:40with clips anymore. You're creating
14:42content that helps a business grow. If
14:44it's deal making, you're not just
14:46sending messages, you're trying to bring
14:48in real opportunities that make someone
14:50money. That's where the real skill is
14:52built. And this is what most people
14:54don't realize. Fourth, you need to fix
14:56your service. This step was always part
14:59of the process, even when I taught my
15:00son this years ago. But back then, it
15:03was a lot more manual. You had to rely
15:05on experience, feedback, and trial and
15:07error to figure out what was working and
15:09what wasn't. But now with AI, you can do
15:12it properly. Because once you've
15:13delivered your service a few times,
15:15you'll start to see patterns. What's
15:17getting results? What's not? And more
15:19importantly, where the bottlenecks are.
15:22This isn't about automating everything
15:23yet. It's about improving the way your
15:25service actually gets done. If you're
15:27editing videos and it's taking you hours
15:29to do something repetitive, that's a
15:31bottleneck. If you're doing deal making
15:33and spending ages researching or writing
15:35messages, that's also a bottleneck.
15:38Using AI to remove those bottlenecks
15:40will make you far more efficient and
15:41therefore more money in the long run.
15:43Lastly,
15:45you need to systematize your service. Up
15:47until now, everything's been a bit
15:49scrappy and [laughter] that's exactly
15:51how it should be. You've been moving
15:53fast and figuring things out, but if you
15:55stay like that, deadlines get missed,
15:57messages get lost, payments get delayed,
16:00and that's the reason most people never
16:02get repeat work. Because the thing that
16:04actually makes you stand out isn't
16:05talent, it's reliability. I mean, the
16:08people I've paid the most money to
16:10aren't always the best. They're the ones
16:12who deliver on time and communicate
16:14clearly. One of the best platforms
16:16helping you with this is Odoo, because
16:18it's an all-in-one business management
16:20software that provides you with a range
16:22of applications to simplify the
16:24day-to-day management of your business,
16:26including invoicing, accounting, project
16:28management, website creation, and more.
16:31I remember when my son was asked to send
16:32his first invoice. He had no idea what
16:35he was doing. So, I showed him what my
16:37invoices looked like and he had to
16:39manually make his own. However, it's
16:41much easier now with Odoo's invoicing
16:43app. It makes it super simple to add
16:45your customer, your services, and their
16:47price and quantities. You can then
16:49select your invoice due date and payment
16:51terms, which can be emailed to the
16:53customer, allowing them to pay directly
16:55through Odoo's customer portal. Odoo
16:58will then track if it's been paid or
17:00not, which saves you from doing it
17:01manually. From my experience, late
17:03payers are very common in the online
17:05service space, so it's very important to
17:07keep your discussions, emails, and notes
17:09in one place through this feature called
17:11the chatter. So, you can quickly see who
17:13you need to follow up with. I used to do
17:15this manually and all the time I was
17:17wasting could have just gone into making
17:18more money. As I was planning on uh
17:20talking about them anyway, I reached out
17:22to Odoo to see if they wanted to sponsor
17:24this portion of the video. They agreed
17:26and are also giving you your first
17:28application free for life with unlimited
17:31support and hosting. So, that means you
17:32can start using the invoicing app for
17:34free. I'll drop a link in the
17:36description. You might be wondering why
17:38this is a loop, and it's simple because
17:40you don't just go through this once and
17:42you're done. Every time you complete
17:43these five steps, you end up in a better
17:45position than where you were when you
17:47started. You've got more skill, more
17:49experience, better results, and a
17:52clearer understanding of what actually
17:54works. So, when you go back to define,
17:56you're not starting from scratch, you're
17:58refining. When you sell again, you're
18:00more confident, your pitch is better,
18:03and more people say yes. When you
18:05deliver, the quality is higher. When you
18:07fix, you're removing bigger bottlenecks.
18:10And when you systematize, everything
18:12runs smoother. Then it repeats, and each
18:14time you go around the loop, your
18:16service becomes more valuable, which is
18:18what pushes you towards $10,000 a month
18:21and beyond.
18:22>> [music]
18:25>> Believe it or not, you can do the same
18:27service as someone else to the exact
18:29same standard and earn 10 times more.
18:32That shouldn't make sense as you'd think
18:34you get paid based on how good you are,
18:36but you don't. You get paid based on how
18:38you position your value. This is where
18:40things start to step up a level because
18:42once you've been around the skill maxing
18:44loop a few times, you're no longer just
18:46someone who does a service. You
18:48understand outcomes. You understand
18:49businesses, and you understand what
18:52actually makes money. That's when
18:53positioning becomes super powerful. Let
18:56me show you what I mean. On the left
18:58side is how a freelancer positions
19:00themselves. On the right is how a
19:02digital architect does it. Let's start
19:04with brand identity. A freelancer says,
19:08"I design logos." Which is simple and
19:11easy to understand, but it also sounds
19:13cheap. You're competing with thousands
19:15of other people, and the only thing that
19:17separates you is price. That's why a
19:19digital architect doesn't sell a logo.
19:22They say, "I increase perceived value,
19:24so businesses can charge more and
19:26attract better customers." See how this
19:28involves the exact same amount of work,
19:30but offers dramatically more value. Now,
19:32instead of seeing you as a cost, you're
19:34now an investment. Now, let's look at AI
19:37automation. A freelancer says,
19:41"I can build AI chatbots." Again,
19:43nothing wrong with that, but you're just
19:45selling a feature. A digital architect
19:47says, "I remove manual work and reduce
19:50costs by automating bottlenecks." Now,
19:52you're not just building something,
19:54you're saving them time and money every
19:56single month. And lastly,
19:58funnel creation. A freelancer says, "I
20:01build landing pages." But, a digital
20:04architect says, "I turn existing traffic
20:07into paying customers." Now, you're
20:08directly tied to the revenue, which
20:10again is the same skill and the same
20:12output, but with completely different
20:15positioning. The key is to stop talking
20:17about what you do, and start talking
20:19about what it does for them. That's how
20:21you use position maxing to go from
20:23charging a few hundred to a few thousand
20:25for the exact same service.
20:30>> [music]
20:30>> A lot of people aren't going to like
20:32this one, but most of you will never get
20:34past 10K a month. Not because you're not
20:37working hard enough, or the opportunity
20:39isn't there, but because getting to K
20:41per month is one challenge. Making 20K,
20:4550K, or 100K plus per month is a
20:48completely different one. I know these
20:50numbers might feel miles away at the
20:52moment, but if you don't understand this
20:53now, then you'll hit that 10K level and
20:56plateau. That's where brand maxing comes
20:58in. This is the process of building a
21:00personal brand so strong and visible
21:03that people instantly see you as an
21:04authority in your space. One of the most
21:06powerful examples of this is Casey
21:08Neistat. He sold his company to CNN for
21:11a reported $25 million, but the business
21:14itself wasn't the real asset. There was
21:16no clear plan for what CNN were even
21:18going to do with it. What they were
21:19really buying was his personal brand.
21:22That was back in 2016,
21:24and since then, this has only become
21:26more important because now, more than
21:28ever, your personal brand is what makes
21:30you more valuable than everyone else
21:32offering the same thing. So, how can you
21:34easily do this without trying to build a
21:36YouTube channel with millions of
21:38subscribers? Well, the most simple thing
21:39you can do right now is clean up your
21:41social media profiles. Make it very
21:44obvious who you are, what you do, and
21:47why you're the best at it. Most people
21:48are doing the opposite. They put no time
21:51into their profile, instead, just focus
21:53on cold messaging hundreds of people.
21:55That's why they just get ignored. I'm
21:57willing to bet you've got a ton of
21:58unanswered messages just like this in
22:00your requests. But when someone lands on
22:02your profile and it instantly shows what
22:05you do and how you do it, you're no
22:07longer just another message. And when
22:09you combine that with actually
22:10understanding who you're messaging and
22:12how to approach them properly, that's
22:14how you break past 10K a month and scale
22:16beyond it. If you want to discover the
22:18five levels to get enriched, then I'm
22:19going to leave that video right up
22:21there, but don't click on it just yet.
