How much would an extra $10,000 change your life?

You go online and see people flashing $100,000-a-month screenshots and think to yourself, “if only that were me.”

Well, it’s entirely possible to make six figures a month, but what most people don’t realize is that you don’t need to generate that much money to significantly change your life.

For instance, the average person would tremendously benefit from just making an extra $10,000 per year.

An extra $10,000 per year could allow you to:

• Build up a sizable emergency fund in case something breaks in your house.

• Go on a one-week vacation with the love of your life.

• Pay for that car repair you’ve been putting off for way too long.

I’m sure you’d agree that these are all worthwhile things to put that money towards.

The challenge is that coming up with an extra $10,000 out of thin air is easier said than done.

For instance, your job isn’t likely to give you a $10,000 bonus at the end of the year, and your shot at making extra money through the lottery probably hasn’t worked out as well as you’d hoped.

This is why so many people are turning to side hustles to make some extra cash. They’re delivering food, driving people around, or trying to rent out part of their house to make this extra cash.

The problem with these strategies for making more money is that they simply don’t scale.

For instance, you can’t drive Uber and let your car do all the work itself while you sit at home and watch Netflix with your spouse, nor can you send a robot to deliver food on your behalf.

As such, you’re effectively still trapped in the time-for-money model, which, as you’ve probably already realized, is not one that’s easy to use to get ahead.

This is why I send you an email every day talking about the potential of making money online.

It’s not that it’s some magical, guaranteed path to the income of your dreams, but it is more efficient when it finally gets up and running because of the scalability the internet offers.

For instance, this one single video alone made me over $10,000, and it didn’t require me to spend endless hours working a side hustle on top of a nine-to-five job.

All it required was learning the skill of YouTube ideation, production, and packaging, and being willing to take action.

And you know what the best part is?

Whenever you have a skill that’s repeatable, it’s a skill that can make you money day after day.

For instance, if you’re an engineer, you can show up at work Monday through Friday and deliver enough value to collect your paycheck. On YouTube, the same premise applies.

Once you know how to make videos that people want to watch, you can consistently generate an income that will pay you month after month.

And the only thing stopping the average person?

They simply haven’t spent enough time cultivating that skill.

That’s why I always say, the sooner you learn, the sooner you earn.

It’s been true in your own career so far, and the same principles ring true on YouTube.

Therefore, if you’ve had the idea of starting a YouTube channel but haven’t taken that first step, let today’s email be the nudge you need to get going.

Until tomorrow,

Adam
