2 Months ago I landed in Bali with $500. I'd just met @Alistair Booth at the airport, I had a month of accommodation booked in the Bali slums, and I knew I had to make something work FAST. The original plan was that I'd do "digital detox" coaching and Alistair would do acne coaching, which we'd both be promoting with long-form content. But, a few days in, we realized there was no way to guarantee our success with that (in the span of a few weeks) so we started looking for new ways we could make money more quickly. And after some back and forth with Jenna, and a few ideas I never acted on, we landed on the perfect business model for us at the time. LOOMTUBE. "Helping entrepreneurs turn looms into high quality YouTube videos." It was perfect. See, for a few months before Bali I was helping coaches with their titles, thumbnails and hooks, which meant I could handle the pre-production side of things. And, Alistair had been editing his whole life, which meant he could spice up the videos to make them more engaging during post-production. So for the next few weeks we put our heads down and worked as much as we could. One demo video after another, videos for a new YouTube channel we made, and reaching out to anyone we'd ever even semi-connected with to see if they'd be interested. The result? Not much... Jenna bought a YouTube hotseat session for $25, but that was where our success stopped at the time. The reason? We simply hadn't put in enough reps. We'd been at it for a few weeks but if we wanted this to work, we'd need to do even more, for even longer. So is that what we did? Nope. Because around that time... We got lucky. Sort of... About a month into our journey, we signed our first big client at $2500, and before we knew it he decided to hire us full-time at $3000/month each. The reason I say we got lucky, is because one client solved our income issues overnight. But the reason I say "sort of lucky", is because of the following:
