- you are not running a business
you are not running a business
Most people in online money are playing the wrong game
They think that they are running a business but they really aren’t
A business is a predictable mechanism for getting more clients and fulfilling on your promise of a product or service
Very simple
And most people can create or deliver a good product or service
But the problem they have and the reason why they aren’t running a real business
Is that they can’t get clients in a consistent and predictable way
If you making money relies on you going viral or getting a lucky streak in the algorithm
Then you are hustling my friend, you are not running a business
How do you expect to predictably scale to $50k a month for example
If you don’t even know how many views you’ll get next month?
Let me tell you
You won’t
It takes a certain number of views to make a certain amount of money, and good business owners don’t rely on luck to get there
A good business must have a predictable and calculable outcome
For example
We will spend $10k this month on ads and we will get 300,000 impressions which will give us 50 booked calls and 25 sales at $2500
It’s predictable, calculable and executable
The mistake most people make when they are running organic traffic and don’t want to spend their money on ads
Is they fall into this ‘fairy land’ or just thinking they can make some posts, hope they go viral, and pray to the skies that god will gift them money
It doesn’t work like that at all my friend
If you want to hope to make $5k a month on a lucky month then go for it
But if you want to build a real business and marketing system to support the info products you sell
You need to be able to calculate everything with systemised traffic
50 accounts posting 8 times a day in a niche where Tiktok gives minimum 800 views per video
50 × 8 × 800 = 320,000 views per day minimum
Expected CTR of 0.5% and CVR of 1%
16 sales per day at $50
Expected $800 per day profit
$24k a month profit
Yes we might have some months where its under and some months where we are over the expected value due to fluctuations in CTR and CVR which we can adjust and improve
But overall we now have a predictable business that we can grow month on month by adding more volume
That is another huge mistake people make when just posting on one account
They have no path on how to grow their business
If I asked you how you plan to 2x your business this month what would you say?
Better content?
More posting?
These things are improvements but not predictable outcomes
You can’t predict better content to give you 2x sales
You can’t predict more posting to give you 2x either since your account can fall out of the algorithm or it can fatigue
But if I doubled the number of accounts I’m running I can predict that approximately I would double my sales by way of minimum views
So the point of this email isn’t to hurt your feelings or make you feel bad
But ask yourself if you are really running a real business?
Do you have way to scale by scaling traffic predictably
Can you calculate and estimate expected revenue with at least some accuracy
Can you automate this process so you can focus on growing the business
If you can’t answer these questions then I’m sorry to tell you my friend but you aren’t running a business
You’re just hustling in a void of delusion
It sucks to say but many people fall into this trap
My advice is don’t be one of them and the quicker you can break out of that cycle you will make a lot more money
