Which Is More Profitable – Udemy Or YouTube? Daily Hustle #146

By admin / June 10, 2017

In today’s video, I answer the question “Which is better for making money with online courses, Udemy or YouTube?” Watch today’s video here:   Since YouTube pays notoriously low on a “per-impression” basis, it is almost always better to publish courses on Udemy, where Udemy does some of the marketing for you. If you are a high-energy “personality”, then it may be better to publish on YouTube, but that would be better for entertainment as opposed to education.

Steemit – How To Make Money Writing & Posting Stories, Blogs & Content Online? VIDEO Daily Hustle #139

By admin / June 2, 2017

In today’s video, I answer a question posted on Quora that says: “Can one earn money by posting stories to the Internet?” Having earned a little over $2,000 by casually posting my video content here on Steemit, I have a good answer for this. Although I haven’t been posting on Steemit “primarily” as a way to make money, as my Steemit account reached $2,000, I started getting more curious about how Steemit worked and how I could maximize what I’m doing. (Power ups and all that) But between the terms “STEEM”, “STEEM POWER” and “STEEM DOLLARS” and POWER UPs (and then combining that with the whole “crypto-currency” learning curve) I wouldn’t mind admitting that I was pretty dang confused! And every explanation I read about Steemit ON the Steemit platform was in text form and seemed to just confuse me even more. It just wasn’t clicking… But, being a Udemy instructor, I thought perhaps there would be a course about Steemit that could walk me through every single element of the site / platform / wallet, etc. and there was! So, I enrolled in the course and already things are SO MUCH CLEARER! Watch today’s video here:     Here’s …

Ask Dave – How Much Is My Website Worth? – Daily Hustle #138

By admin / June 1, 2017

In today’s video, I answer a question about how to value a website. Watch today’s video here:     I once bought a very large pet related website – a site with over 3000 pages of content – as a “fixer upper” website. My web designer and I revamped the site, giving it a new look, adding Google AdSense units and new affiliate ads to the site and also started building an email list. We also created a couple of new, “sister” sites that were relevant to the pet lovers community we had there. The site’s income grew and I owned the site for several years. When it came time to sell, I was able to sell it based on the income it generated, as most sites are sold.

Success Takes Tenacity – Daily Hustle #137

By admin / May 31, 2017

A huge key to success in your online business is TENACITY. Tenacity is defined as: “The quality or fact of being very determined; determination.” Watch today’s video here:   I think of tenacity as an almost “animalistic” persistence, a dogged determination, if you will. Tenacity is KEY to massive success because the average person doesn’t hang in there long enough to “get good” at their business. Most people quit when things seem to get too difficult, not knowing that, had they hung in there, they’d probably get better and eventually they would achieve mastery. Tenacity is KEY to success!

Watch today’s video here:   Faith involves seeing reality before it happens and then working to make it happen.

My Epic Monday – Daily Hustle #133

By admin / May 21, 2017

Today’s video is a little different. I had an epic Monday – spent the day with my two sons and it was awesome.

Watch today’s video here:   Since both of my sons are home schooled, they had flexibility with their day, too.

Setting The Right Work – Life Balance As An Online Entrepreneur – Daily Hustle #132

By admin / May 20, 2017

In today’s world of supposed “point and click” profits, it is easy to begin to think that building an online business is easy. The truth is, any business takes time to learn – there is a learning curve to everything, and business is not exempt. In today’s video I talk about work / life balance and how we need to be aware that the early stages of building a business take time, energy and commitment and we need to be ready to be “unbalanced” for a period of time until we get the business to a good level. Watch today’s video here:  A great way to do this is to focus on building “passive income businesses” where you do the work ONCE, but the money comes in month after month after month, from that point on.

How Can I Start My Own Business? – Daily Hustle #131

By admin / May 19, 2017

This is my response to a question on Quora that read: I am tired of office work. How can I start my own business?

The Power Of Encouragement – Push & Praise – Daily Hustle #130

By admin / May 18, 2017

There is great power in encouragement and in being in an encouraging environment. In today’s video, I share my experiences as a skateboarder and how most skaters are encouraging in nature. Watch today’s video here:   As mentioned in today’s video, you can join the Daily Hustle private FB group (for fans of the Daily Hustle) here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DailyHustle/ Join the Selling Online private FB group (for anyone doing business online) here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SellingOnline1/ Join the Passive Income Show FB group (for online teachers) here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/PassiveIncomeShow/ Because it can be a demanding sport, all skaters know what it takes to do great things and they understand the sacrifice (in pain and practice) that it takes to succeed. So, they are more encouraging, even when you fail, because they can see you going for it. This is how I grew up, in this encouraging environment where my fellow skaters would “push and praise” you to success.

The Pain Of Discipline vs The Pain Of Regret – Daily Hustle #129

By admin / May 17, 2017

My mentor, Jim Rohn was famous for this phrase: “The pain of discipline weighs ounces, but the pain of regret weighs tons.” In today’s video, we talk about the pain of discipline vs the pain of regret and how, by working on our daily disciplines, we can ensure that we don’t have regrets in the future. Watch today’s video here:   This is a key, fundamental principle in any online business. It is usually the daily, consistent things we do that result in success. This is the pain of discipline, getting ourselves to do what we know we need to do.

Identify The Key Challenge That Needs To Be Solved – Daily Hustle #128

By admin / May 16, 2017

My friend Rob Kosberg of Bestseller Publishing showed me an interesting way of thinking about the challenges and obstacles in business. He begins by first seeing what is the main obstacle, challenge or problem that needs to be solved. While this makes sense from the outside, not everyone follows this protocol. In today’s video, we take a look at why this is such an effective strategy for an online business owner and how we can maximize it for our benefit. Watch today’s video here:  

Unlearn These Things & Succeed In Your Online Business – Daily Hustle #127

By admin / May 15, 2017

In today’s video, we talk about the specific things you need to UNlearn in order to be successful in your home based online business. Watch today’s video here:   From the moment we begin school, society trains us to do things a certain way. Unfortunately, today’s schools are based on an Industrial Age paradigm, yet we are now in a post-technology age! So, there is a huge mismatch between how most people are trained to work (and the expectations for them) and how you need to work as a home based online entrepreneur. Watch this video to discover a few things you may need to unlearn.

Fight For Your Dreams! – Daily Hustle #125

By admin / May 13, 2017

Entrepreneurship is like a war between the status quo, “the way it’s always been done”, 9 – 5 traditional job model and the revolutionary, non-conformist, “risky” way to create an income. Society is basically geared against the entrepreneur, in many ways. Watch today’s video here:   It is your ability to go after your dreams and fight for your dreams that will determine your success. Persistence, tenacity, “going for it” and taking massive focused action will all make a difference and will allow you to achieve your business goals, but you have to want it badly enough!

Know When To Zoom In & When To Zoom Out In Your Online Business – Daily Hustle #124

By admin / May 12, 2017

Often, detail-oriented people can “talk themselves out” of new opportunities or new projects that could benefit them. It is too easy to develop the “paralysis of analysis” by over-analyzing things, especially in the early stages of a project or a new opportunity. Watch today’s video here:   (Check out my new book here! https://daveespino.com/WriteBooksFast ) It is your ability to know when to “zoom in” (look at the details) and when to “zoom out” (take a more macro view) that will determine how fast you move forward. Keep macro things macro and micro things micro!

The Person With The Biggest Audience WINS! – Daily Hustle #122

By admin / May 10, 2017

The person with the biggest audience wins. While this has always been true, (examples in the video below) it’s even more true today, in the “attention economy” than it has ever been. Attention is the new currency and your ability to capture your target audience’s attention, hold their attention and then turn that attention into an ongoing business relationship will determine your success in this new reality. Watch today’s video here:   Check out my new book: Write A Great How-To Book, Fast! How to Write Books That Sell (mentioned in the video) here: https://daveespino.com/WriteBooksFast Knowing where you are in history is critical to knowing how to ethically capitalize on that awareness and right now, we are in an attention economy. Everywhere you go, you see people with their faces in their phones, visibly detached, but somehow relating to others online. It’s odd, yet familiar in such a way that everyone accepts it as the new reality. So the question is, are you there? Are you on that mobile device or are you nowhere to be found? This is the most important question EVERY business faces. The question is not whether you are developing a “presence on mobile”, the question …

Passion Is FUEL For Entrepreneurial Success – Daily Hustle #121

By admin / May 9, 2017

Passion is a big deal in any endeavor where you want maximum performance. Some people argue that passion should have no part in business – that business is an emotionless exercise, or should be. In today’s video, I talk about the role that passion plays in my business and why I am passionate about what I do. Watch today’s video here:   I believe passion is the fuel that will keep you going when things get tough. It’s the fuel that keeps you moving forward, reaching for your goals and keeps your creativity on high. Sure, you could run a business without passion, but having a business that is fueled by passion is so much more fun!
