- I have been getting so any questions. If you follow my work you are familiar with my wealth triangle. If you have not watched the video, click on the button right here and watch that particular video. (upbeat music) So many people are asking me, Dan, what are some of
the high income skills that I can develop today that will free me from financial struggles
and worries forever? Now, in case you don't know
what a high income skill is I define high income skill as
a skill that you could develop in a short period of time
that will make you a minimum of $10,000 a month. Basically six figure a
year without a degree. That's how I define high income skill. Now notice, I did not
say a high income job. I'm not talking about a high income job. I'm talking about a particular skill set that you can bring
value to the marketplace in exchange of money. So let me share with you a
little but about my journey. How I have developed all
my high income skills. And how I can of stacking
each high income skill one on another and build my empire. The very first high income
skill that I have developed which is copywriting. Yes, copywriting. Now if you don't know what copywriting is, copywriting is nothing more
than salesmanship in print. It's persuasion in print. It's meaning crafting the ads. Crafting the sales pitch. Crafting the video sales letter. Back then I was writing for full page ads, Yellow Pages, direct mail pieces like good old paper, envelope, stamps. That's when I got started. So copywriting. I was writing these marketing literatures for companies and entrepreneurs. And they were paying good money for that. At first they were paying
me a couple hundred dollars, eventually then $1,000, $2,000, $4,000. Then in the peak of my copywriting career I was actually making
about $10,000 a month. As a young copywriter in my twenties. Now that may or may not be a
lot of money for some people but to me back then I
felt like a million bucks. I thought I was rich. I thought I could do this
forever, it's awesome. Then as I was writing these
sales letters and copy and for companies, for entrepreneurs, now they're asking me well so Dan, this is a great marketing piece, how do I send this out? Where do I send this out? What list should I send this out to? So then I was transitioning into doing some consulting for them. So I went from copywriting, I added another high income
skill to my tool belt, which is consulting. I was consulting with them
first on an hourly basis which is a horrible idea. Then it's more of per project
it' a little bit better. Then later on I learned, I got smarter and I started charging a retainer. So I charged them on a monthly basis. I was getting paid month by month, month by month on a retainer. So I added another six
figure income to what I do. That's my second high income skill. Then, from there I went
into digital marketing. I went online, I was
selling things on eBay, growing my business. So I believe the third
good high income skill that you could develop,
especially if you're millennial, if you're young is digital marketing. It means that you are
building funnels for people. You are helping people
manage their Facebook. You are helping people
grow their Instagram. Any of the social media
platforms because companies and entrepreneurs, there
is such a demand right now in the marketplace that
they're not caught up with what's happening with social media. They need help. And you could charge
a good amount of money helping them do these things. Things you're already
using every single day, so you might as well
make money doing that. The great thing about this
type ofhigh income skill, everything that I'm talking about so far, copywriting, consulting
and digital marketing, you are helping entrepreneurs and companies make more money. And it's easier to charge a
reoccurring revenue model. You can charge them one thousand a month, two thousand a month, three
thousand a month to do this. It means that you don't
need that many clients to make ten thousand a month, right? If you get very, very good you
might just need a few clients to make ten thousand a month. Just from home, in your spare time. The four, number four high
income skill that I believe is very, very powerful and
didn't know about this before but now as I'm doing this
I know the power of this and that is YouTube. YouTube. The power of being a YouTuber. It is a great high income skill. It takes a little while to get it going but once you get it going,
not just essence revenue, maybe in the future I
could talk about this, but you can make a very good living, if you know what you're doing. As a YouTuber, you can share your passion. You can share you're hobby. You can go traveling and
just kind of make videos and make good money doing that. Now, I don't even count on
what I make from YouTube. It's like a tiny bit of
money but for most people it is a good way to make a living. It's a very powerful high income skill and also you get to impact people. You get to help people. You can also see how your
videos, how your message, how your story is impacting
people around the world. I think that's a pretty
special high income skill. Number five. What I believe the most powerful
high income skill of all that also makes all these
other high income skills work better is closing. In my case, high ticket closing. The ability to close sales. If you have the closing skill,
when it comes to copywriting you'll be able to charge more money. You'll be able to close better
clients, better contracts. Consulting, you need closing skill. Digital marketing, you need closing skill. YouTube, making video, you
need to be able to communicate. You need closing skill. So I believe closing skill's what makes all these other skills work. What this whole thing boils down to is the ability to communicate. Write this down. Communication = Wealth. Comment below. Communication = Wealth. You will not be able to create wealth without being a good communicator. So you always want to work
on your communication skill. So those are the five
best high income skills that I believe, because those are things that I have personally
done, without a degree. I don't have a degree. If you know my story,
I'm a college dropout. But because I've mastered
these high income skills. Then what I do is, when
I grow my companies, I simply take these skills that I have and I have other skill sets too, but I take these skill
sets and then I transition. I use the same skill
sets to grow my companies to millions and millions and
millions of dollars in revenue. That's what I do. So there you go. Five high income skills. Comment below and let me
know which one you feel resonates with you. Which one you think you know
what, Dan I want to learn that. That's what I want to do. Or no, I don't want to do that. This is what resonates with me. I want to develop that high income skill. Comments below and let me know and maybe I'll make some more videos and expand on some of these topics. Until next time, I'll
see you in my Bentley.
