The 3 Things You Need to Start Making Money Online 🚀 or Forget the Hype—Here's What Actually Works
Ever feel like making money online is more complicated than it needs to be?
One guru says you need a blog.
Another swears by YouTube.
Someone else tells you that unless you’re running Facebook ads, you’re doomed.
It’s all noise.
The truth? You only need 3 things to start making money online:
1. A Simple Offer (something valuable people want to buy)
It could be an affiliate product, a digital download, a service, or even a “done-for-you” package.
If you don’t have your own product, affiliate marketing is a great place to start (I’ll cover that next week).
The key? Find something people already buy and get in front of them.
2. A Way to Capture Leads (so you don’t rely on luck or random traffic)
Most people try to sell on the first interaction—big mistake. Slow & steady wins the race!
Instead, collect email addresses so you can follow up and build trust.
A simple landing page + lead magnet (free checklist, report, or mini-course) works wonders.
3. A Traffic Source (because eyeballs = sales)
This could be organic (content, SEO, social media) or paid (ads, influencer shoutouts, solo ads).
The best traffic sources? YouTube, Facebook Groups, Substack, or an email list.
No need to overcomplicate—just pick one and go all in. I recommend YouTube and Substack.
Your Next Steps
Do these simple steps to get started. Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day, so don’t expect instant results. But do expect—over time—that consistent work leads to predictable outcomes.
✅ Pick an affiliate product (try LeadCreator, Aweber, or TubeBuddy).
✅ Set up a simple opt-in page using LeadCreator.
✅ Start driving traffic using YouTube. Mention in your video the problem your affiliate product solves, show how it solves the problem, mention the landing page link in the video, and put the landing page link in the YouTube description.
Why don’t you just send potential leads right to the affiliate sales page? Because you want to capture their email address first.
That email list you build is your ticket to “mailbox money” (we’ll talk more about that in another newsletter).
Tool of the Week: Aweber (for Email Marketing)
You NEED an email list. Period.
Aweber is my go-to because it’s simple, reliable, and affordable for beginners.

Final Thought
Most people spend months researching and never take action. Analysis paralysis is real, y’all!
You don’t need the perfect plan—you just need to start.
