Scaling the business

If you want to scale your business, you need the right formula.

Scaling doesn’t mean doing more work because you might be doing free labor.

If you happen to find the right formula, then you would need to scale your output, because everybody gets paid for their output when the deal is right.

There is no passive income, as something somewhere has to work. If somehow you find passive income then you’re still relying on the infrastructure to work. Nobody has ever made money laying in bed.

So, if you want result, work with the deal attached and don’t work without the deal.

The most difficult part is not scaling, is not working, but finding the deal. If nobody is willing to finance your work then you really can’t scale. You just can’t work while relying on people’s generosity because most people aren’t that generous.

Doing worthwhile things

You can’t build a blog in one evening and expect money to roll in. If it was that simple – everybody would be a blogger.

Doing worthwhile things takes a lot of years, and most people give up along the way because the sheer amount of work might not necessarily reward you back. That’s the downside of online work.

If my goal was to make money, I would have been making more flipping burgers at McDonald’s. For me it wasn’t about the huge money, for me it was about doing something for myself rather than for an employer.

Anyone can build a blog if he is willing to work, and a huge blog will attract some eyeballs, the question is if you can monetize all that hard boring work, not a fact that you can’t make a blog.

Everybody working these days wants some monetary reward because working for free in capitalism doesn’t make any sense since everything costs money. Sure there is free stuff, but you can’t complain about something you get for free.

Worthwhile things take years to build, it’s not something you can build in one evening.

Building a blog in 5 minutes

Sure the title sounds clickbait, but it’s not.

I actually made an enormous archive of content by 5 minute intervals.

You have a thought, sit down to create it and you repeat it many times, this is how huge archives are built, not by having one heroic session, but having many short sessions.

You don’t owe anybody 5 hour long articles just because most people’s attention span is limited and only handful of people will read through it.

You can actually make an enormous archive by committing to 5 minute work intervals, and on a blog your work actually compounds unlike on social media where post is engaged with for a few hours or days. So don’t feed the feed and feed the blog – just because it’s better this way.

The work compounds – will you do it?

How to do upfront work

Were talking about making money. Sometimes you need to do upfront work without certainty of potential income.

Many people assume, go on YouTube post videos and you’re golden, but many people just give away their labor for some views.

If you want to make money by doing upfront work, you need to get a deal before you do the work.

That could include writing a Kindle book, but publishing it with the deal attached.

It can be making a blog with monetization in place.

So you can definitely make money doing upfront work, but you won’t be certain about the income.

That’s why contracts and agreements are important.

Nobody would make 10000000 kebabs before they get the deal, but people make thousands of videos before they even have a change to earn… And that’s the problem of modern internet.

So the problem isn’t that you can’t do upfront work, you can, but you need agreement of potential revenue for the work you did or are doing.

Not like YouTube, Facebook – we will monetize your work someday, if you reach the monetization threshold.

So the platforms exploit their users who want to make a business, if they valued your work – they would pay you from the beginning. On Facebook or YouTube, it’s not upfront work when your content is not monetized, it’s just free labor for the platform, because when you publish you will get views, but not profit. So they benefit from your free labor.

They run ads on your content, but not for you, but for them. So you are left with nothing.

Getting DA DEAL™

The problem with online content for making money is that most people create content without DA DEAL™.

I created content for YouTube, for TikTok, for X, for Facebook, for Medium, for Steemit – all to realize I was working without DA DEAL™.

People say work hard, work smart, but when you work online you need DA DEAL™.

Because if you only work without DA DEAL™, you will be wasting so much time and effort and will be working for free.

So, before you even start ‘working’ online, get DA DEAL™ first.

DA DEAL™ is simply a way to get income without relying on DA DONATIONS™ or DA TIP JAR™.

Only handful of people online are actually generous, most are not.

Imagine building a YouTube channel, and you don’t qualify for DA DEAL™. That would be so upsetting.

So to sum it up – never work without DA DEAL™, because working alone won’t produce you any gains.
