๐Ÿ’ธ4-Steps To How I Made $14,717 In 2 Weeks (working a total of 10 hours)
And no, I didn't rob a bank. Didn't sell a kidney. Didn't even have to wear pants.
Let that sink in for a moment...
$1,471.7 per hour. That's more than most lawyers make. More than doctors. More than that guy who installed your cable and somehow took 4 hours to do it while leaving mysterious boot prints on your couch.
Here's the dirty little secret most "gurus" don't want you to know:
Working more hours is the SLOWEST way to make more money.
So here are my 4 steps๐Ÿ‘‡
๐Ÿ’ฐ๐’๐“๐„๐ ๐Ÿ: ๐ƒ๐Ž๐'๐“ ๐Œ๐Ž๐๐„๐“๐ˆ๐™๐„ ๐‹๐ˆ๐Š๐„ ๐€ ๐“๐˜๐๐ˆ๐‚๐€๐‹ ๐ƒ๐ˆ๐†๐ˆ๐“๐€๐‹ ๐Œ๐€๐‘๐Š๐„๐“๐„๐‘
Relying on viral instagram reels is like chasing pennies while stepping over dollars.
To make real money you need to turn attention into revenue with a monetization system.
But not just posting and praying while recreating viral videos, having Manychat send some lazy PDF guide, and hoping to make sales.
I use a โ€œValue Trapโ€:
๐Ÿš€ Highly Targeted Instagram Reels (Value) โ†’ ๐ŸŽFree Value Trap (MORE VALUE In the form of a lead magnet) โ†’ ๐Ÿ’ฐPaid Course/Mentorship (More Value)
And if you structure this right, you can make 5-figure months with just a few thousand followers.
๐‡๐ž๐ซ๐žโ€™๐ฌ ๐ก๐จ๐ฐ ๐ข๐ญ ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ค๐ฌ:
1๏ธโƒฃ Start with Instagram Reelsโ€”your free traffic source.
2๏ธโƒฃ Offer a free course, NOT just a PDF (giving away something people are used to paying for).
3๏ธโƒฃ This builds goodwill & trust before ever mentioning a paid product.
4๏ธโƒฃ THEN introduce your paid course.
This method is why I have 7000+ people inside my free courses and 225+ paying students.
The truth is, most creators are leaving 90% of their potential revenue on the table by focusing on garbage PDF lead magnets and traditional โ€œfreebiesโ€...
Having 100 followers who trust you is worth more than 1000 people commenting โ€œguideโ€ for a generic โ€œsneak peekโ€ inside your course ๐Ÿคฎ
The key in all this is what I call โ€œ๐•๐š๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ž๐ง๐จ๐ฆ๐ข๐œ๐ฌ ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿโ€...
Care about HELPING and providing value FIRST, then the money will flow.
Thereโ€™s a reason why someone like Liz can go from on the fence to all in within a few daysโ€ฆ (Paying THOUSANDS for my 1 on 1 coaching)...
The key is PROVIDING VALUE FIRST.
๐Ÿ’ฐ๐’๐“๐„๐ ๐Ÿ: ๐Œ๐Ž๐’๐“ ๐Ž๐๐‹๐ˆ๐๐„ ๐‚๐Ž๐”๐‘๐’๐„๐’ ๐’๐”๐‚๐Š
Most courses donโ€™t consider human nature even a little bit.
The goal of a good course is simpleโ€ฆ
ACTION.
Point blank. Period.
From regurgitated PDFs, terrible AI voiceovers, and endless fluff designed to keep you distracted until the refund period is past (instead of just getting you to your goal)...
People donโ€™t want another 100+ hours of classroom time before the results.
Low customer satisfaction leads to failure.
93.7% of all courses out there right now are simply someone trying to make a quick buck.
Rememberโ€ฆ
Low customer satisfaction leads to failure.
So with that said, the FIRST thing your course should do is create a map.
A map that shows them everything thatโ€™s going to happen, how itโ€™ll happen, where youโ€™ll go, when you should learn, etcโ€ฆ
๐Ÿ’ก๐“๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐œ๐ซ๐ž๐š๐ญ๐ž๐ฌ ๐š๐ง ๐ž๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ž๐œ๐ญ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ฌ๐จ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ฒ ๐œ๐š๐ง ๐ฆ๐š๐ง๐š๐ ๐ž ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ข๐ซ ๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐ž.
Next, the reason people buy courses in the first place is because they LACK in 1 or more of these areas:
  1. Time
  2. Skills
  3. Money
  4. Energy
  5. Knowledge
Once we can LOWER each of these limitations, or remove them, then we remove the obstacle thatโ€™s stopping them from getting to their goal, which makes it a good product.
Ultimately, what theyโ€™re buying isnโ€™t the product itself, but the removal of the obstacle thatโ€™s getting in the way of what they want.
And finallyโ€ฆ
Donโ€™t let them learn alone!
Create a community where they can access you.
This is exactly why I like to use Skool .com
This platform allows you to host your own community with a paid course all in one.
And now that you have a community, all your course members will interact with each other, holding each other accountable and creating support at every step of their journey!

Despite what your favorite content marketing guru says, making money on Instagram is NOT about who makes the best content.
Eliminate your emotions, feelings, and the need to be perfect.
I make $1000+ a day on Instagram not because of my editing skills or my ground breaking ideas.
I make it because I know how to write HOOKS & CAPTIONS that make the algorithm work for me.
Whatโ€™s crushing it right now on Instagram is actually even simpler than you might realizeโ€ฆ
1๏ธโƒฃ5-7 b roll videos (silent video of you or anythingโ€“my favorite is me drinking coffee at my desk)
2๏ธโƒฃCompelling hook (text overlay on screenโ€“curiosity or SOLUTION based)
3๏ธโƒฃWrite an SEO and Keyword heavy caption that PROVIDES value first
๐Ÿ”ฅBonus points if you can create an โ€œinformation gapโ€
Whatโ€™s an information gap?
Itโ€™s a statement that implies thereโ€™s valuable information to come AFTER the statementโ€ฆ

  5. What NEVER to
  6. The real reason
  7. The power of

  9. 5 ways to X

These are just some quick examples that work well (even if you have no prior results to share)

Having 100,000 followers means nothing if youโ€™re not monetizing those followers properly.
I saw some girl on Instagram the other day with over 100,000 followers and she had only made $1000 in 28 days this month ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ
Why?
Because her product and systems were totally irrelevant to her viral content.
When your offer is congruent with the people you serve, the problem you solve, and the content you create, โ€˜sellingโ€™ becomes EFFORTLESSโ€ฆ
I call this โ€œ๐‚๐จ๐ง๐ญ๐ž๐ง๐ญ ๐‚๐จ๐ง๐ ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ž๐ง๐œ๐ฒโ€
When you do it right, what you are selling feels like the natural next step for your audience to take after consuming your content.
This is why some people truly do โ€œmake money in their sleepโ€ while others spend all day long in their DMโ€™s trying to convince people to buy.
Take this post for instanceโ€ฆ
I am giving you as much value as I possibly can so you can create content, sell courses, and build a successful online education business.
As for my paid courseโ€ฆ
Well ๐Ÿ˜‰
If you want direct access to me, my team and my proven process to start building a highly profitable online business from scratch while monetizing free content on social media (the same process Iโ€™ve used to generate $14,717 in just 2 weeks and helped countless others achieve 5 figure months and financial freedomโ€ฆ)
Then consider joining the brand new "$1k Commission Blueprint"...
You can always start Instagram and sell courses on your own, thatโ€™s what I did, and it took me years of trial and error to finally figure out how to make it work.
And thatโ€™s why I created the $1k Commission Blueprint, so more good people like you can achieve financial freedom in the fastest and most effective way possible.
When you join, you get:
โœ… The exact 2-step monetization framework hundreds are using to make daily sales
โœ… Our community, where we help you implement everything we teach you
โœ… Weekly Q&A Calls with me & Expert Coaches to give you personalized feedback
โœ… And weโ€™re even throwing in a few BRAND NEW free tools like my 7-Figure Mentor Bot (programmed with over 150+ hooks and captions I personally wrote to earn over 7 figures on Instagram) that will step by step help you create hooks and captions exactly like I do
AND RIGHT NOW...
I'm on a mission to help as many people as humanly possible who want to help themselves...
If you want to be one of the 1000 families I help earn their first $1000 commission in 2026, then ๐Ÿ‘‡
Rooting for you in 2026!
-Josh
PS... why so only $7/mo?
Because we are laying the FOUNDATION for the future of making money online & the future of the way regular people just like you and me earn WITHOUT the tech headaches and overwhelm...
It won't be $7/mo for long, once we launch to the world the price will sky rocket to $57/mo.
