In this post, I’m going to reveal exactly how I made $16,694.50 in five days and how you can do this too.
You don’t need a massive audience.
You don’t need a whole bunch of tech skills.
I’m going to open up my accounts and reveal everything on how to make money online.
So without further ado, let’s start.
Make Money Online
Proof
Just to show that I’m just not making this stuff up.
You can see here, $16,694.50 in gross revenue.
Just over $12,000 in net.

Made from 18th of December 2020 through to the 22nd.
Now, this was a small launch that I did internally, which means I launched to my own subscribers, but I didn’t put a big notification on all the usual places.
There was no JV page.
There was no JV competition.
I did everything in my own time which is how I prefer to make money online.
No Stress
Now, generally speaking, when people do these kinds of launches, there’s a lot of stress involved.
You’ve got to create a JV page.
You’ve got to get a competition up.
You’ve got to provide JV resources and do a whole bunch of things, and you have to launch at times, which generally please a North American market.
Now, I’m in Japan.
I do not want to stay up until midnight or 1:00 or 2:00 AM to launch my product just to please my JVs.
So I launched I think it was 2:00 or 3:00 PM in the afternoon my time, which basically is the middle of the night for everybody else.
But it means zero stress to me.

You want to do things on your own terms.
Now, two people did end up promoting this particular launch.
They’re two people that I like, two people that I trust and respect.
I didn’t have to provide them with a whole bunch of resources.
They also have their own audience of people that know, like, and trust them, so managed to get great conversions on this particular launch as well.
The Product In Question
It was called YouTube Ads Kickstart.

There were 2 optional upgrades.
It was a very small simple funnel.
The main product was responsible for $7,687.
The first upgrade drove just over $5,000, and the second one a little bit under three and a half thousand dollars.
The checkout pages converted quite well.
39% on the main product, 91% on the first upgrade.
That basically means that almost everybody that got to the checkout page actually completed a purchase.
Now, the reason that this is 39%, which isn’t too bad, there are a few reasons.
Some people just decide when they get to the checkout page, they have second thoughts and they decide not to purchase.
Some people tried to purchase, but for whatever reasons, Stripe declines, or they don’t complete it inside of PayPal, who knows?
But basically see, the figures are pretty nice.
It converted well.
All said, not a bad bit of profit there for four days work.
I’ve had worse days.
The Tools needed
Now, what do we need to do something like this?
Well, first of all, actually you’ll need something like PayKickstart.

You don’t have to have PayKickstart, but you’ll need a way to sell your product and deliver your products.
I use PayKickstart because they’re very easy to use.
They have great support, and they don’t have a bunch of dodgy stuff going on, like a lot of other places do like Warrior Plus.
You need, of course, something to sell.
This is the sales page for the product in question.
Audience
Now, I do a lot of stuff in video marketing.
I’m always communicating with my email list.
I do have a small Facebook group as well, but I’m always in communication with people to know the things that people are either interested in, struggle with.
I survey my list, and I get ideas for training courses like that.
I don’t just magically make stuff up and cross my fingers.
Because I know what my audience are potentially stuck with or interested in and I know who the general skillset of my audience, I decided to make this course.
I also know that there are other courses out there which teach YouTube Ads, but they can either be very expensive.
Or they can be targeted to more advanced people.
There’s not really much out there in my mind that targets beginners, but that’s also very, very in-depth.
So I created this course.

This sales page was made on ClickFunnels.
The sales page, my first upgrade, my second upgrade, and then my thank you page.
The reason that I like ClickFunnels personally is because it’s drag and drop.
Plus, I’ve been using it for a long time as well.
You don’t need to use ClickFunnels.
You can use anything to create these pages.
I’ve got a very simple hype free headline because that resonates with my audience.
My audience know that push button viral stuff, it’s crap and it doesn’t work.
I know that stuff sells and, again, that’s another topic for another day.
The Sales Materials
I wrote all of the sales copy for this launch.
I created all of the sales pages.
I made the video sales letter.
I did everything myself.
Now, I’m not a professional sales page designer.
I’m not a professional copywriter by any stretch of the imagination, but doing everything yourself takes you more time, but it also saves you money.
I didn’t have any expenses apart from the expenses that I would have anyway for the tools that I use.
Video Sales Letter
A video sales letter isn’t something that you need to have.
But because my staff is in the video marketing niche, it makes sense to have a video on the sales page.
How do you make a video sales letter?

In order to make a video sales letter, the first thing I did was write the script out.
I then used a free tool called Audacity.
You can use it on a Mac or a PC.
I recorded myself reading the script aloud.
You need a couple of takes because sometimes you make mistakes.
I had an MP3 file on my desktop of me reading out my video sales letter.
I then use this product, which is called Vidnami.

I’ve got a ton of videos on the above page.
I don’t use any images for the most part in the VSL.
It’s just a generic white background with my text.
I decide which words are highlighted.
And then I upload my audio, which is my scripts that I’ve read out, and then I synch it all.
Vidnmai is brilliant.
You can create video sales letters and all other kinds of videos.
I then upload my video to Vimeo Pro.
I make sure that my video can only be embedded on the domains that I choose.
And then inside of ClickFunnels, I paste my Vimeo link and it appears on the page.
I add a nice thumbnail and job done.
Aweber
We’ve got ClickFunnels or any kind of page builder to make the page.
We’ve got a payment processor to accept payments and to give people their receipt and all of that stuff.

This syncs with my Aweber.
When people have purchased, they automatically go into Aweber and then they can get emails from me as well.
Product Dyno for Delivery
Now, the only thing that I also have, which I haven’t shown you, is ProductDyno.
Now, there are tons of ways that you can secure your content.
I’ve used ProductDyno in this case, and I’ve used it for several other products as well.
If you use WordPress, there are tons of different WordPress plugins.
You’ve got WishList Member, MemberSonic, MemberMouse.
There’s so many options.
And really you’ve got to choose the one that’s best for you.
The reason that I like ProductDyno for these smaller launches is because I don’t need to host anything.

It’s very, very intuitive.
You don’t have to worry about security, and there’s tons and tons of integrations.
ProductDyno also integrates with PayKickStart.
It also integrates with Aweber.
If you’re selling your product on ClickBank, it integrates with that too.
Converting
To me, if you want to make money online, it basically comes down to having an audience.
You don’t need a big subscriber list.
Let’s just say I’ve got 5,000 people.
It’s small.

Having an audience, knowing what they are interested in, creating a course to help them, and then syncing it all together.
Yes, I’ve been doing this for a while, so I can set this stuff up a lot quicker than I could do when I do it for the very first time.
But this stuff comes with practice.
Past Launches?
Now, there are people out there who make money online that will show off on Facebook and other social media.
Their results for much, much bigger launches than this.
But the problem is, that’s not showing you the big picture.
I’ve done a six-figure launch in about five days.
We did about $120,000, I believe, in about four or five days, which sounds much better than the one I’m showing you now.
But the trouble is, I had two partners and split it three ways.
Then we had a bunch of JVs for that launch, which helped us get to those figures.
So you’ve got 50% of all sales to pay out.
We paid about eight grand for a copywriter for the whole funnel.
We paid somebody to make the sales page and all of this stuff.
When you took out all of the expenses, we made about a similar profit, 15 to 20 grand, but we had to deal with all the JVs.
We had so much stress, so much pressure because of the way we did things.
The way that I’ve done things here, it’s just so stress-free.
Make Money Online – Summary
I use the tools at my disposal.
I’ve got a small audience, but the profit pretty decent.
And it’s just a stress-free way of doing stuff.
So whatever niche you’re in, if you have a small audience of a few thousand people and you communicate with them so you know what struggles they have, what things they’d like to learn, you can create simple courses like this.
You do everything yourself.
And if you want to outsource a few things, of course, you outsource what you want to do, but it’s doable for anybody, and you don’t have to worry about JVs.
Therefore, if things take a little bit longer to set up, you work at your own pace.
You launch when you want to launch.
You don’t have to worry about JV prices or all of that stuff.
Just do it your way.
Live life on your terms and make money online.
Run your business on your terms and it’s a lot stress-free.

Cheers Alistair. I need a full time proof reader 🙂
And yes, audacity is brilliant and a real voice beats an auto voice every day of the week.
