How to Make Your First Dollars Online
Even though I do quite well for myself now at 19, even I’m not an overnight success. I just got a very early start. If you read yesterday’s email, you know that I tried to make money online 6 years ago when I was just 13 years old. Failed miserably, but I did learn some […]
Continue reading4 Ways to Use Copywriting to Build an Online Income Stream
Yesterday I told you that you need to learn copywriting. I also gave you my step-by-step formula for doing that. As promised, today you’re going to learn how to use those copywriting skills to put zeros in your bank account. Copywriting knowledge alone won’t do much for you. Once you start putting that knowledge into […]
Continue readingLazy Copywriting
I’m not the greatest copywriter in the world. In fact, I’m very mediocre indeed. In addition to lacking any sort of special skills, I’m also kind of lazy. Sometimes I just don’t feel like writing a long sales pitch. As you know, for the next 24 hours I’m offering my dropshipping course for 50% off […]
Continue reading“Grandpa Holt’s Rant”
I can’t help myself, it’s time for a little rant… This goes directly against my self-interest, but it needs to be said. Plus, I’m doing well financially so I’d rather spread my opinion than squeeze out the last few dollars from my personal brand. Why does everyone want an online course these days? “I really […]

Stagnation is common in the online business world. Most people are beginners making a whopping $0. Nada. Nothing.

In today’s email, I’m going to talk a little about why some people succeed with dropshipping while many others fail. No, this isn’t going to be anything wishy-washy. No talk of “self-confidence” or “perseverance” in here. (Even though, I do think those characteristics are crucial – despite how cliché they sound) Today I’m talking about […]
Continue readingSelling “Chinese Crap” for Fun and Profit
A common reason I hear why people don’t want to start dropshipping is because they don’t want to sell shitty Chinese products. I think that’s a stupid reason to miss out on the fun. And here’s why: Many of the products you buy in the US (or wherever you live) also come from China. Instead […]

Many of you are perfectionists. It’s not your fault…Society has raised us all to be perfectionists. Perfectionism is rewarded in schools. At my school, we were never put under enough time pressure where students who could produce good (but not perfect) results quickly were rewarded. Even at tests, we always had plenty time. All that […]
Continue readingCan you Trust a Filipino VA
We’ve got a cool little Mastermind of smart businessmen on Twitter. (No, you can’t join – sorry) Yesterday, the topic of hiring VAs (virtual assistants) came up. Specifically, a guy asks where he can find a VA that he can trust enough to give access to his computer and handle stuff for him. His situation […]
Continue readingMy System for Picking Memorable Domains
It’s an addiction… If you get into online business, you’re at serious risk. I’ve experienced it first-hand & others have spoken about this too. Compulsive-domain-name-buying-syndrome. I run around a dozen sites right now. Each of them has its own domain obviously. Plus, I’ve got a handful (multiple handfuls, actually) of domains I’ve picked up throughout […]
