I remember waking up at three oclock in the morning with my first online idea. I nudged my wife, Missy, and said, Mis, Mis, get up! Ive got the idea! Like any entrepreneur, I always had tons of ideas.
She grumbled, Just go back to sleep.
I couldnt do it and muttered back something like, No, no. This is going to be great!
Instead of rolling over, I actually jumped out of bed, registered the domain InstantSalesLetters.com, and got to work on it. I had no technical skills to put up a site (still dont), but I didnt let that stop me. I simply started working on creating fill-in-the-blank formulas from the best sales letters Id developed in different industries.
I still remember waking up and seeing $29.95 sitting in my inbox. It was pretty awesome, and the funny thing is, we didnt even have our online merchant account ready, but someone had found our site and ordered.
Within the first month, I made about $1,800. In the third month, it was around $7,800, then $9,400, and on track to do six figures within six months. Thats when people started asking me, How did you do this, and is there any way you can teach me how to do what youve done?
I didnt expect it, but it turned into my next transitionhelping others take their content or expertise or knowledge and sell it on the internet for a profit.
I loved working with so many incredible people and helping them take their passions, knowledge, interests, expertise, and messages out into the world by selling content and information. These students built five-, six-, seven- and even eight-figure-plus businesses in pretty much every conceivable field with my help.
And that diverse background was the catalyst for me to write the first edition of Moonlighting on the Internet. Im proud to say it was a bestseller and helped thousands of people discover real ways they could moonlight and create successful revenue streams for themselves.
To me, life-changing money is usually a couple hundred dollars extra per month. But the problem is you dont know whats legit and whats not. That was just one of the reasons I distanced myself from the online space about eight years ago. I couldnt stand being associated with so many rogues talking a good game but not backing it up with real opportunities for hard-working people.
Thats why Im excited to pass the torch of Moonlighting to someone I know and trust, Shelby Larson.
For years, Shelby has been part of a high-level group of entrepreneurs I run called Maverick1000. The idea is to bring together 1,000 game-changing leaders to truly make a difference around the world. And Shelby is a true Maverick with a huge heart. Anytime we talk about business, its always about the impact. Its about the difference something can make and who will benefit even more than her. In conversations, Shelby tells me repeatedly how proud she is for helping hundreds of stay-at-home moms with her content agency. To me, Shelby is a bit like a super woman, she juggles five kids, a husband, several businesses and a couple pet dragons. But through all of it, she still has time to head up several cause partner initiatives we co-created at Maverick and much, much more.
