How I Made 150 Sales On The Internet Without A Big Following

A while back, I was teaching business owners and creators how to write better emails so they could make more sales.

In the beginning, not a whole lot happened.

Maybe a like or two on a tweet.

But eventually things picked up to the point where I was getting hundreds of thousands of views per month, several newsletter readers a day, and even a single day where I made over 10 sales just by typing words on the internet.

Here’s exactly what I did:

1. Post daily content

Since I was building on X, the majority of my “work” was scheduling short insights, biz related stories, and long form thought pieces or mini-tutorials.

I’d also mix in random personal posts about what I was doing in my daily life because I wanted to, but it also helped people know I wasn’t some kind of boring bot.

On top of that, I would comment on other people’s posts which made it fun and gave my profile extra exposure too.

These 3-20 daily posts would fuel the entire operation.

2. Send a daily email

Since I was teaching email marketing, it only made sense for me to send frequent emails so I could teach more email stuff.

In that specific niche case, not only did daily emails allow me to help my readers more often, but it also demonstrated my method every single day by literally doing the thing I was teaching.

And I made an offer in every single email, much like I do now, so sales started being more consistent as my list grew bigger.

As for how I grew my list?

I had my sign up link in my bio, pinned post, and promoted my landing page in the comments of my own posts as a logical next step for people who liked my posts and wanted more of my help.

Oh, and I was also posting these emails on the blog I had at the time, which definitely helped me gain subscribers too.

3. Get through the pain period

Like I mentioned in the beginning, the early stages were rough.

No one cared about what I was posting, and definitely no one was buying anything.

But for whatever reason, I was able to keep posting, commenting, and promoting my email list where I’d sell my products.

It was one of those situations where nothing happened then everything happened at once.

Most people who start a business on social media face the same thing and if there’s any advice I can give, it’s to keep posting, look for posts that do better than average, and see how you can take the elements of that post and apply them to future posts.

Eventually you’ll get better and better and things will start clicking.

This is what led to me selling over 100 ebooks, several copies of my course, and a dozen or so members of the paid Discord I was running at the time.

Not to mention a bunch of affiliate products I offered too.

P.S. This strategy is a lot like what I’m doing now in the digital product niche, but there’s one major difference I’ve been testing.

I mention it as an option inside The Blueprint above, and I’m working on getting you some hard data to work with from my own experience.

That data likely won’t be available until at least Q2, so stay tuned because it just might make all the difference, especially for non-health/wealth/relationship niches.
