🔥 5 Figure Revenue Advice – 8 Steps on Becoming Profitable

Note: If you think this thread is a waste of your time, I'll refund you your time at the end.

I interviewed Danny Postma who runs the successful LandingFolio for my Young Makers Newsletter.

Here's the 8 steps he shared for tomorrow's newsletter issue on how to be profitable. All these are from his experiences, which may vary from person to person.

8 Steps on How To Be Profitable

1. Start a website where you give away free content. People are more compelled to share this.

2. Start showing your products to other people. Launch on ProductHunt, Reddit, Twitter. Anywhere. This gives you a lot of backlinks, and Google looooves backlinks.

3. Don't expect traction immediately. It took me 1.5 years to rise in Google. But now it sends me 700 visitors a day. 1.5 years is long, but remember I built it in a weekend

Note: Danny does not make 5 figures entirely from 700 daily uniques. He utilized some creative resourcefulness to get there – his interview is really impressive.

4. Collect visitors email addresses with a newsletter. Or by giving them something for free as a lead magnet.

5. Learn from your visitors and figure out what their actual problem is.

6. Create a product that solves their problem in Step 5. My audience struggled with coming up with good headlines. So, I wrote Headline Formulas.

7. Promote the product to your newsletter and on your site.

8. Profit!
