Hey Guys,
This is my first real blog post in a long time!
Please excuse my grammar & spelling i am incredibly dyslexic.
This isn't a product promotion, however some links may contain referral codes because if you want to try them out it will help me out as well =)
My reason for sharing this is for years when I was younger I would always read up about and learn from ways people turned small ideas in to amazing money making opportunities and changed their lives.
what I have made is still in its infancy only a few months old and I have no idea what the longevity will be, but the fact I was able to make my entire investment back in 2 weeks, and probably could have made it back in two days if I was smarter with what I spent my money on is awesome!
Now down to business, about a year ago i was on Instagram thinking I wish I had more followers so I could work with brands and get cool stuff like all of the people I saw in my news feed.
So I had what turned out to be a not so original idea to create a bot that would make my instagram Like follow/unfollow and comment on other pages similar to mine so they follow me back and my followers grew rapidly.
I have no understanding of Coding and design but I had an idea I wrote down what I wanted and advertised it on
Freelancer My Referral code > https://www.freelancer.com.au/get/jessest?f=give
& found some one on
Fivrr My referral code > http://www.fiverr.com/s2/e424cd32f9
I ended up getting one from both, the fiver one was the best however freelancer gave me multiple options as people can bid on your proposal so if I chose a different coder I might have received a better result.
Where I stuffed u is I could have hosted my bot/software in the cloud at on Amazon Web Services for a few dollars a week.
But I wasn’t aware of that so I bought a server & googled how to create a virtual machine and run the server.
Heres a link to a cheap server that would have worked and saved me money its an amazon referral link > https://amzn.to/2CZVX1f
with the bot they made me I managed to amass over 20,000 followers that where all real and liking my content and commenting on my page. This was amazing, only one problem I still wasn’t getting the ‘free’ stuff. So I did some research wrote some emails and started contacting companies with a script I wrote & BOOM getting aid to go to festivals getting paid to eat free meals and go to awesome new experiences, free clothing and so much more.
I was living the exact way I wanted to be living. Every thing was fine and I told a friend here or there about how I got to 20,000 followers & one day a Friend of mine Eli calls me saying he heard from another friend Reno about what I had managed to do with my Instagram account & had friend that was interested and willing to pay
I had no idea what this service would be worth so like I always do I said what would you pay for a service like this he said ‘I don’t know, 25 - 30 a week’ so I said I’m sure I could make $25 a week work (these rices are in AUD so that’s about $19 USD a week)
I had no idea how to charge someone a reoccurring payment so I set up a www.stripe.com account and created a $19 USD a week subscription and added him to it.
This gave me the idea of trying to sell it so I started researching how to build a website, I wanted something affordable but fast and easy to build because I had almost 0 experience in website design.
I came across Click funnels here’s my affiliate link to get a 14 day free trial> https://clickfunnels.com?cf_affiliate_id=1434349&affiliate_id=1434349&aff_sub=&aff_sub2=&nopopup=false&noautoplay=false&cookiepreview=false
The reason I went with click funnels is it guided me threw the whole proccess was fast to build with no knowledge in websites and was reasonably priced. But the main reason I went with click funnels was because the offered a product called Back Pack.
Now back pack what a great product for me. When o was looking at a way to sell this I wanted a way to market but I have no experience and had little funds to market the product, and the way I found my first sale was a referral.
So the way it works was when people sign up they can join my Affiliate program, this means they get a special link they can send to there friends. If their friends join threw the link they get a cut of what the friend pays for the life of the subscription.
To incentivise people to work for me I gave them 50% commission and with that high a commission people where working hard for me, and today I haven’t technically sold a single membership my self and haven’t spent a cent in advertising.
All of our affiliates have come from other affiliates and keep growing the business I am currently at 46 re occurring payments of 19 - 35 USD a week (I sell different packages)
I have no idea where this is going to go and if it’s going to continue to grow at this rate, all I can do is hope.
My hope is it inspires someone like I was inspired by others to try something different or something in a different way that might make them some income =)
