Which Is More Profitable – Udemy Or YouTube? Daily Hustle #146
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
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
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
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!
Success Takes Faith – Daily Hustle #136
There are many facets to success, but one of the biggest keys to success is faith. Specifically, I mean having faith and belief in your plan, in yourself and in your business model. In today’s video, I talk about the critical importance of faith in your online business. 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
Today’s video is a little different. I had an epic Monday – spent the day with my two sons and it was awesome.

Setting The Right Work – Life Balance As An Online Entrepreneur – Daily Hustle #132
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
This is my response to a question on Quora that read: I am tired of office work. How can I start my own business? In today’s video, I talk about the MAIN, PRIMARY way I would recommend anyone to start a business online. (I can’t think of why you would ever want to start a business OFFLINE, as the advantages ONLINE are huge.) Watch today’s video here: FREE REPORT! The top 5 legit ways to start an online business: https://daveespino.com/MonetizeYourself I also discuss 4 other legitimate ways to start a business in this video.
The Power Of Encouragement – Push & Praise – Daily Hustle #130
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
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
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
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.

Watch the video below as I refresh my browser and you’ll see, live, how the views keep going up. Watch today’s video here: Quora is a question and answer website where people go to get answers from people who are knowledgeable about those topics.

You can do the same thing and drive high-quality Quora traffic to your website, products, courses or services.
Fight For Your Dreams! – Daily Hustle #125
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
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 Power Of A 90-Day Massive Action Burst – Daily Hustle #123
You can commit to and do anything for 90 days. That’s the secret behind the 90-day massive action burst.

Watch today’s video here: Then, in an unexpected twist, that 90-day massive action burst led to me being featured in one of the most successful business informercials of all time. That’s the power we’re talking about in this video. For Serious Daily Hustlers Only… Join the DAILY HUSTLE Facebook Community here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DailyHustle
The Person With The Biggest Audience WINS! – Daily Hustle #122
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
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!
