How to Start a Business from NOTHING in 2021 By Ali Abdaal


https://www.youtube.com/embed/awnn-bqV_Tw

so the other day I had a bunch of stuff stolen from my car including my MacBook iPad cameras microphones in a bunch of other things and it got me thinking that if I lost everything like my YouTube channel and my team in all of the daughter in the business bank account and all of the ear and potentially even though the skills that I have how would I get started rebuilding things from the ground up the tiktok account by the way please. Answer this video is going to be my step-by-step guide to how I would actually build wealth and passive income as an audience of all that fun stuff from the ground up if I have no principles of building the sawdust off from scratch and then we’ll have the five I think steps that build on top of that in public in a way that helps build an audience whether it’s people on YouTube or ticktok or Twitter or your email list that’s like a generally useful thing because when you have this these people who know like I’m trusting you it means you can then let us out against further down the line if you really want to but it was means that you have like

Friends of the networking connections is just generally nice and wholesome and friendly and the best way of building an audience is to provide value to those people that providing value is like a bit a bit like maybe that’s like what is providing value to me and how you figure out what kind of value provide and so an easy way to build the right sort of audience is to like when when you’re starting from scratch and building a thing to build it in public I ate a document the Journey of building your thing and so if I want to start a new business from scratch or YouTube channel of blogger bucket of any kind of Ventura I would be documenting the process and like writing down or maybe maybe even making YouTube videos a blog post about what it’s like to do that or we go to the museum what interesting things I’ve learned every time I read a book that helps me with my business I would be summarizing the key inside from that book already helped me and putting it out full free out there on a Blog and then sharing the link on Twitter or my Facebook page or my Instagram page or anything that helps get the word out that hey this is me I’m building in public and you can follow along for the journey if you like which is to provide Value First and do not expect quick returns

from what am I meant was from a fall of Gary vaynerchuk on this point I was very focused

if you want to take anything from this

giving and doing things in Business Without expectation of return from the other individual is probably the greatest leverage that you could ever deployed in your business life though it is extremely rare in today’s business environment and it is absolute the Bedrock of what is allowed me to win here basically is that provide value without the expectation of anything in return. So while building my business I’d be providing value and we’re going to talk about in the steps but it will still be building a public documenting my journey and all this would be without the expectation of anything in return I would not be trying to sell anything, I wouldn’t be trying awfully hard to be pushy and get them to sign into my bathing list I would be craziness value-creating this content without the expectation of anything in return where they are doing that as a side effect I’m going to build up an audience of people can do like and trust me alongside three is that whatever I’m doing I’ve been targeted Market that’s filled with people that I actually care about if it was me the maquis I’ll be targeting is YouTubers creators

Christy solar light creative entrepreneur type people on the internet and I’ll be trying my best to build a business around that specific audience I wouldn’t particularly trying to build a business for new moms because I have no experience what it’s like being a new mom but I’ve been friends for new moms who are very very familiar with the audience we love hanging out with your mom’s and therefore it would make sense for them to build a business around that particular audience and is really nice cooking Steve Jobs when he talks about this idea you have to have a lot of passion for what you’re doing and it’s totally true in the reason is is because it’s so hard that if you don’t any rational person would give up

it’s really hard and you have to do it over a sustained period of time so if you don’t love it if you’re not having fun doing it you don’t really love it you’re going to give up and say that it’s kind of a successful by society definition of found a way to enjoy the thing that they’re doing and they loved it so much. And that was why allow them to persevere I took me back to the building a business from scratch one way to increase our odds of enjoying the thing that we’re doing is to talk at the rights of the audience to build a business for the people that we’ve already care about Rosalynn for a completely new audience and we have no empathy or enjoyment with foundational principles let’s not get into the five kind of actionable ish practical sense that I would take it if I was starting from scratch skill that helps the people that I care about about Woodby Kratos YouTubers bogus those sorts of people probably use you with you on that I have so much from the hours for that space and I can’t decide what needs of them and I enjoyed hanging out with you too and so I asked you

can help you two boys and one of the skills that can help you too as well but the first one is video editing every YouTube review on a certain size needs help with a video editing and so if you can provide them a service as a video editor for the videos you can make friends of that YouTuber make friends with a network and that’s a way of building a business around this idea of creators secondly every YouTuber need some nails if you have a graphic design on YouTube converter into blog posts to some exotic my websites I mean my friend Thomas friends as well as I know they should be doing this but there’s no one out there who says to them hey look I will literally right up all your videos is blog post for your website and it would be really great having that kind of stuff supposedly a little YouTubers one person of his put a thread so they can grow again is that service so if you can be the person providing that service to YouTubers I ate a skill that is my type of both then you’re adding a little about you needing would bother you if you’re building a business around this niche of YouTubers or creators that you personally care about so if it were me and I didn’t know how to edit videos what I would do if I would get a part-time job

how to get a second time to MacBook and then I would learn how to edit videos on iMovie by following either option or by following free YouTube tutorials and then over a few weeks by doing this. I get pretty solid video editing and then I’ll be able to move on to step two step two is that once you figured out what this Market is that you care about who these people that want to be friends with that to his to work for them for free without permission and wild documenting the Jenny and I think it’s the full free part here that’s crucial because if your if I was just talking to anybody or anything and I wasn’t that good and I didn’t have a portfolio. I couldn’t really approach a YouTuber and say Hey I want you to pay me to edit your videos because like why would they take a chance on me what I would do instead is I would email a bunch of YouTubers that I like in a small YouTubers YouTubers just in case more YouTuber somewhere between the 10K to 100K subscriber range I’d be saying to them hey yo YouTuber I love your content I bet you like something very specific about your contents of the email or the foot of the M or Instagram DM like

accident because like you put some thought into this it’s not just a message to them that I want to edit your next video for you completely for free all you have to do is send me a Dropbox or Google drive or we transfer tank with the with the raw files and I will create an edit for you in your style continue for free and you can have it you can use it on your channel and if you like it then we can talk about maybe working with me on a paid basis for the down the line. If you do this with enough people with no way someone isn’t the reply to me like all right yeah this sounds like a good idea you offering to do this for free here is a Google Drive link to my real footage from a latest video Let’s see what you can do and now you have a project you looking for free and you’ve someone is giving you the chance where you put the ability to actually edit the video in as best way as you can require permission you do need to email someone in Austin to send you the real files because most YouTubers don’t like publicize their profile but there are things that you can do continue without permission as well one of those things is creating thumbnails so you can find a YouTuber or a bunch of YouTube channels that you like and you can read it on the thumbnail spoil them based on their current status and you can email them being like hey

you’re something else I designed these might be an alternative to these diesel thumbnails I think they would work better than the current thumbnails you go up because of reasons a b and c and I’ve had two people in the past four years we talk to me that way but physically redesigning thumbnail to myself and saying hey why don’t you try at least do something else and both occasions I was like oh okay this person is going through the effort of already doing the work for me and so I just ran a B test using tubebuddy which lets you tell the male’s blood does to people that’s on the hills were worse than my ones were any way but the principal was good like I respect the hustle of them emailing me with the work already done so it was very easy for me to say yes to I know if your thumb nail designer you can do this with basically any YouTuber YouTubers are always on the lookout for like what is the best thumbnails on my video. So if someone does the word for them and you can say Hey you can use tubebuddy to a pee test it linked to to check it out free trial at that right that’s right they can retreat at the thumbnail and see if it Foams better and that is the ultimate way of testing all your skills as a thumb nail design a good enough and if you can improve their skills at a time that’s how you want to be

red crate for the threats are people you can reach out to your favorite YouTuber and say hey this video that you made about like eight habits of being a millionaire in 28 weeks right for you but what do you think if you like it let me know and we can talk about potentially working together for the down the line he’s a way that you can work for the people you care about in my case YouTubers without asking them necessarily full commission and you can do it for free to get your foot in the door and then of course while doing all this I’ve been documenting Journey I’d be having my own YouTube channel by talk about all right guys I’ve just been 18 emails A Day to my favorite YouTubers let’s see who respond to Johnny too hot I just do it through the form of a Blog and Twitter threads and stuff like that and Sir step to work for free for your favorite people like the talk at Martin’s Market that you care about do it without permission if you can and document your journey while doing sir have a portfolio so I’d be building like a personal website using something like go sports the freeway to go to website

cheap way to build a website and now got my portfolio, show real life examples of the credits rise of the website thumbnails are graphic whatever that I can make we not going to stop number 3 which is turning this into a paid I just went pretty easy to do to turn into a paid gig because if you got like decent samples of work and you actually good at the thing which you will be because you’re falling tutorials on the internet and improving his Guild of time and you could do some testimonials from the people that you’ve worked for for free at this point you can stop reaching out to those same people and say hey this is how much I would charge per hour if we wanted to work together what do you think and if we say yes if it’s reasonable you can then reach out to other YouTubers and say or other people in this market that you care about and all field service for free and it’s today and then make like a page that has your prices you can have different pricing plan and eventually you can then very easily turn this into a paid gig because your work will speak for itself. Mounting the whole journey bring that as well as reading books about the psychology of pricing figuring out how to price my services for the hour reading everything I could get my hands on about how to be a freelancer because at this point I’d be afraid

long on my block and on my face then opted for a while after building up some money in the bank I’ll be moving on to step for which is to productize the service I have a friend Robin weight has written a really good book about this is going to take your shot and that book change the way that I approach pricing because basically in gauging story book tells the story of his golf teacher who was charging by the hour and then one day he gets a client who wants to learn golf but this client happens to be a business coach in the business coach told him through and coaches him about how he can convert his hourly pricing into a suite of products like you know six lessons for x amount or you need this is the outcome you’re going to get this is the money back guarantee this is so interesting seeing how you can just transfer all your income basically overnight by moving from an hourly charging right to a prototype charging right as I was putting together some kind of movie is a month for x amount of dollars if I was a graphic designer I’d be doing like 3 thumbnails pro video for times a month or four times a week or three times a week for this amount if I was a writer I be talking about this Otis which is right for this

and here is the money back guarantee all the things like that reads about taking a short break and sit with me for a golf of right now I do almost nothing that charges by the hour because I don’t like charging by the hour instead I think how can I turn this into a product how can I turn into a course which is my life of course people always say it like the message be like hey how much do you charge for one-on-one coaching that can then offer that same service to multiple people with a more like you product I system and if I right now I’m working on my own productivity for lazy people can sign up for the blind side’s about productivity that picked up over the Loft light decade of my life and turning it into an icy package course that includes my productivity system for lazy people so yeah thanks the mailing list of the description if you want to get ready but access to at some point when it comes out at 5 once we put it in the bank at that point I’d be looking to hire people I be reading books like the e-myth Revisited and traction and he supposed to business

that once you once you’re a profitable business as a solo entrepreneur / freelancer how do you even bring other people on board either a straight answers or part-time or full-time if you got the money for that how you bring other people and help leverage your own skills in your own time and so I’m pretty confident if I were to start from scratch over the course of maybe two to three years I’ve got to the point where my editing business with YouTubers on my writing business for you to become a graphic design business for YouTubers that we get to the point where I could comfortably be able to hire people offload some of the web for myself leverage my own time and my own skills and then think about building a business around it so that the results I see the videos of the graphics of the right thing with my thing is the results would be generated by the business and by the system as Michael yoga jokes about any emails revisiting video scription if you were checking out the results will be delivered by the system rather than by the individuals themselves all five of these steps I be building up my own personal Audience by documenting what it’s like to build a business man YouTube from the ground up at this point if we have a few thousand maybe even tens of thousands of subscribers on my email list

I already want it so I could turn into a course about hey Dennis how I did this thing over the last three years here is how I started from scratch and crew of six figure income by video editing and here’s how you can do the same if I wanted to I could do that for them on the line but that point I’d have my successful business I’d be having fun I’ll be profitable I don’t really need to Pedal courses to my audience in that context add value to a lot of different people one thing I always recommends people is to learn how to code because coding is like such an in-demand skills he’s days like there is a constant shortage of software it’s like if you know how to code for reasonable standard and I seen not that hard to get a job where you either working for someone else and doing coating types of full them you’re building your own stuff going around businesses building websites and using a coding alleged do that well as any learning how to code was how I go started on this entire journey of Premiership when I was around thirteen years old back in the day I use ready crappy results is like free stuff on the internet and read them books that I would get from

coffee shops these days there are tons of other better ways to learn how to code one of my favorites is by doing an online course over it pretty in this video is already great because the interactive the friendly they’re engaging and they make it fun to learn the thing and there’s so many people that I know who have started learning how to code and done some like online course and it’s just so boring. They just never actually bring themselves to doing it mostly my favorite quotes I’m bringing all that computer science series when I was applying to med school I was torn between med school in computer science and medicine in the end but I always had this kind of love of computer science and love of coding in my mind’s been to the brilliant courses on computer algorithms and like how cryptocurrencies what are really interesting so if that sounds of your street and if you want to level up your thinking or learn how to code or get Pro a computer science in the first two people to hit that link in the description we got 20% of the annual premium subscription three principles principal building public principal number to provide value for free without the expectation of anything in return

23 talk at the market that has the people that you already like and think you would get along with and then we build a five-step on top of that number one hits has a skill that helps that market number to offer that service for free MP3 start charging for it and at that point you can hire an ex-con and turn this into your own business Empire check out this video over here which is like 9:00 passive income ideas and it shows how I make $27,000 per week at a time without recording of income by following these methods to thank you so much fun if you want ready and I’ll see you in the next video
