Hint: people who overthink it will make the least (or zero)
You can make millions of $$$ online.
But most won’t and that’s okay. We’re not here to shame anyone. I like the idea of helping people learn to make 6-figures instead. It’s more realistic and allows the average person to leave their job if they choose.

When you do this you can typically charge $5000-$10,000 a month.
This strategy means you don’t need to become a bikini babe influencer and share cliche picture quotes. With fewer than 100 followers you can make 6-figures. Read that again.
