My $10 Digital Media Startup Story

    I get asked all the time how I've made a living, or significantly supplemented my income, with my vast array of digital and social media. It has come naturally to me throughout my life, but only with hard work and heavy hustle. I began selling collectibles online at the age of 13 (around 1999) on hobby websites and later on with eBay and Amazon. Not very different from digital marketing mastermind Gary Varynerchuk. At the age of just 17 I started personal training clients and began using AOL Instant Messaging and MySpace to start promoting my services. Once Facebook was available at my college in spring 2005, I immediately began using it to promote my personal training, nutritional consulting, and group exercise services. I started my first website in 2006 promoting my online fitness media as well as a growing eCommerce store. I never had more than a junky Dell laptop with a low resolution webcam and a sub-par smart-phone (a cheap flip phone until 2009 and then a horrendous Blackberry Storm 2 until 2013!!) 

Fast forward to today and I have over 25,000,000 website views around the world, over 3,000 unique media posts, tens of thousands of product sales grossing hundreds of thousands of dollars, ebook and paperback sales in 10 countries, social media / content deals with billion dollar corporations, several streams of passive supplementary income, and a lucrative career in digital marketing. Even though I have been more of a "sidepreneur" (due to my full time jobs) over the past 5 years, I still enjoy several consistent supplemental revenue streams and get 1,000,000+ monthly impressions with all of my multimedia.

Starting Out

So you  might be asking me why $10? That might seem to you like a rather arbitrary number. But that is because it's around the cost of an average domain name purchase on GoDaddy, Web.com, Google, or the myriad of other options. That is the only necessity (and even that isn't absolutely required... but you'll look a lot better with a custom domain name and one that doesn't end in ".wordpress.com", "blogspot.com", ".wix.com", ".squarespace.com", ".tumblr.com" or ".weebly.com" etc. 

Besides the $10 or so for the domain name, since we're in the digital age I have to assume that in this day and age you have a usable laptop and a smartphone. And even if you don't have one, you can always use public resources or use a friend's tech. There really are no excuses! It is dirt cheap to get refurbished laptops, smartphones, cheap data plans, and free public WiFi. Trust me, I've been there and done that.


Here are just some of the ways that you will learn how to make a supplemental or full-time living with your new digital startup business:


Potential Revenue Generation Streams

1)  AdSense / WordPress Ads
2)  YouTube Partnership
3)  Premium Advertising Networks
4)  eBook Publication
5)  Affiliate Sales
6)  Brand Merchandising
7)  Sponsorship / Endorsements 
8)  Content Production
9)  Business Consulting
10) Speaking Engagements

I've seen people get their own TV shows, become Chief Marketing Officers, work for YouTube or Google, start their own successful clothing lines, write for the world's largest publications, become best-selling authors, start their political careers, and pretty much anything else you can imagine! With the right amount of influence, intelligence, creativity, and persistence you can achieve nearly any goal you set your mind to! Be ready to maximize all opportunities but you'll also need to create your own!

It's not going to be easy, and it's certainly not a guarantee, but it's a system that has worked well for me over the years. Trial and error is necessary, but you just need to make small mistakes and learn from them. I've certainly seen hundreds of my peers make a nice living off these strategies, or at least complement their regular job's salary. It's open season for you to make your mark on the digital world and enjoy small business success!
