The $10k p/m method in simple steps:
if you're lost. this is for you.
(keep this to yourself. may be slightly invasive)
----------------------
FIND A PROBLEM
"I can't even exercise properly because of my back pain" - some random guy
That's a problem. and people are looking for a solution to it.
This is where you come in and solve it. that's your job.
that's business in a nutshell
the problems are unlimited
find what problems are common (Reddit, Facebook, Quora etc..) and target one
don't overthink it. shouldn't take you more than 20 mins to decide.
-------------------------------------
GATHER INFORMATION
Part 1 : Audience Info
you know the problem
now. you need to gather info about your audience:
- why they have this problem
- the cost of living with this problem (how it impacts them personally)
- the emotions this problem targets (insecurity, fear, lack of confidence, anxiety etc..)
you can also research about this on the platforms I mentioned in step 1
there are confessions made on there everyday. break them down.
this way. you'll know more about your audience than 90% of people do
PART 2: Solution Info
you also need to gather info about the solution
what can help your audience?
consume YT videos, podcasts, books about the topic/problem
search for people who are known and trusted in the space. and consume their wisdom
you can even use AI to find out who's credible.
for example. if you help people get stronger in the gym and bulk up. watch Sam Sulek videos
all this info will be used to create content that can’t be scrolled past
---------------------------------------
TAKE NOTES
from the info you'll gather.
takes notes down on the audience and wisdom info on a google doc.
this will be ammo for you to use in your content. make people relate to what you say. and eventually, get follows.
because through your research. you understood their struggles
and know what can help them overcome it
organizing info will keep your ideas sharp
which takes me to the next point
----------------------------------------
POSTING/ACTION
you know have a decent amount of info to start soliciting some attention
so start posting.
don't stuff your face with info. only to end up burnt out and confused
take it progressively. and act quickly.
post. learn more. post again. then learn again
unlimited content ideas will pop up
and unlimited value to give your audience
people will start to follow you. and trust you as someone who can help them
you will have different angles to take with your content
you can even use ideas you've used before and rewrite them differently
there are no rules.
you're pretty much learning, and teaching your audience how to deal with their problem
that's all it is.
-----------------------------------------
MONETISATION/MONEY
you don't need to wait till 10k followers.
but once you start getting some momentum. gathered 500 - 1000 followers
you start sending these followers into an email newsletter
where you'll be digging deeper into advice/exclusive info/more personal content etc...
there and then. you can start promoting your product in the newsletter
because the subscribers are already interested
in your message. that's why they subbed right?
don't put the link to your newsletter once you start posting
no one trusts you yet + the algo hates it
don't overthink this either. just worry about posting content and budling trust first.
the process becomes much smoother.
----------------------------------------------
PATIENCE
you've already started posting and experiencing low views and engagement
give it some time. this isn't an instant success plan. and nothing happens overnight
so don't beat yourself up when the results are shit.
this is normal.
4 - 5 months of consistency and you'll start really getting into the game
as long as you're learning. staying consistent. and giving your audience the value they need.
there's no way you won't end up with everything you want.
with a community of people who WANT to
give you their credit card details
simple as that.
----------------------------------------
there's no reason for you not to be able to succeed through this method
I just laid out the foundation for you
all you need to do is stick to the steps. don't stress. learn as you go
that's how I did it.
I didn't know shit when I started. and certainly made a lot of mistakes
there’s a bit more that goes into this. don't worry, I'll ger into it very soon.
but for now. this is enough for you to start stepping on the gas.

half the game is about knowing how to use your emotions
accept that you’ll have them. and put them into your work.
if you choked a sales call. use that feeling of doubt to learn persuasion and close the next one.
if that chick ghosted. use the confusion and print $$
emotional management the highest ROI skill you can learn right now
the biggest lie you were told
“it’s not that simple”
but people only say that because they don’t want to pay for the choices they make.
wanna know when I realized it’s all a lie?
when I saw friends of mine much smarter. much more educated than I am throw everything they want away because they chose to be extra realistic.
realistic to the point of self sabotage.
they don’t have the “what if” mentality. smart people tend to have a “glass half empty” outlook on life.
it’s called “paralysis by analysis” for a reason.
"bro you’re definitely above average at coding, what don’t you use that?”
"I don’t know. I tried coding up a trading bot that predicts market patterns and calls trades for me, but It didn’t go too well”
"why not try something else?”
"yeah bro I’m looking into it, it’s just not that easy”
"alright..”
I had the exact same conversation again 3 months after that.
"yo g did you figure something out with coding?”
same answers. same demeanour. the only thing that changed this time was me telling him that he’ll regret wasting his talent.
and I know this guy very well. he’s smart. he knows at least a little bit about any topic you can really think of. but his ambition dies down just as fast.
where did his intelligence or realism get him so far?
nowhere that he wants to be. I’d like to think that won’t be the case for too long.
back to the point.
how is it “simple”?
you make choices and never look back.
because looking back means that you’re still attached to your older life. your older self.
and it will be just a matter of time before you revert to it.
how did all the greats become successful?
they understand that the choice they make now is the one they’ll stick to. even though they will pay some costs on the way there.
there’s always a dark tunnel before the light.
your job is to pay the price without ever looking back.
because you’ve internalized that the reward at the end is… worth it.
there’s a sense of freedom behind it you’ll understand once you make that decision you’ve been putting off.
wake up. clean up. work without looking at the time. realize 6 hours have flown by. you’ve done more than most people do in a week. get dressed and make sure you’re looking like a million dollars (yes even when you’re going gym). slap on bleu de channel edp and smell like a gentleman who has questionable intentions. blast some gunna on the way there.
what’s the cost behind all this?
maybe some boredom here and there. maybe some cancelled outings. maybe a heightened sense of ego you never signed up for.
fine by me.
and this ego doesn’t come from free time or hopping onto jet skis every once in a while and posting it on IG.
it comes from the fact that you stuck by the choice you made.
something most people will never experience.

saw one of my boys after 1 year of living in different countries
I couldn’t recognize him. man was huge. as in he gained a ton of weight.
didn’t mention it once. it was bad to the point where I couldn’t even tease him about it like I usually would if I got a friend who’s slightly fat/skips leg day etc...
now look. we all fall off. that’s not that issue.
what you need to master is catching yourself before it gets ugly.
by setting a baseline for yourself. like a safety net.
that’s why when you work/train/learn/do anything.
you go all fucking in to the point where your “bad days” are still better than the average joe’s lifeless routine.
it sets a standard that your nervous system will never allow you to go under.
chick randomly came up to me yesterday at a bar
told me “I can read energies and I feel like our energies match”
interesting cold approach, but okay.
got me lowkey hooked into the convo. lesson in there.
found out later she sells 1 on 1 consultations on achieving higher frequencies. usually to women.
and making bank doing it.
could tell she wanted more than just me buying.
but I don’t date gurus.
when you're staring at your monitor at 2:14am wondering why no one has bought in the last 60 days
don't blame the market for "being saturated"
that's just an excuse your mind came up with because you don't understand the game you're playing.
the uncertainty sucks. I get it.
but a saturated market only means that there is proof of demand.
so you don't need to invent the next big thing to make money.
china came in with a new batch of car brands and people are still buying them anyway. even though there were enough cars to begin with.
they just found an angle.
you got men listen to female coaches about how to attract women.
the angle being "I'm a woman and understand how women think, so I can help you enter their mind and make them fall in love"
let's not dig into whether that's true or not. but it's an angle.
you got guys listening to black pill advice about how injecting your face will solve your social/dating issues.
the angle being "looks are your number 1 asset and if you don't have it. you're invisible. but even if you're naturally ugly, there's a way out"
good marketing and good knowledge of the market
that's all it is. (I'm not telling you to smash your bones btw)
you engineer the angle so your offer looks as irresistible as possible
if you sell weight loss and market it from the angle that "your face will look more chiselled and you won't have to deal with high blood pressure"
then your angle itself is too logical and basic
people saw it way too many times.
not that the market is saturated
so if you think you're thinking "my product is too common"
then rethink g.
people are filling out their credit card details everyday on websites you don't even know exist so that they can solve their problems.
simply frame your offer differently
enough for now

I want you to think of selling like taming a pet
you don't sell stuff to watch your bank account grow.
it's a nice euphoric touch to making sales. but not the mindset you should have.
if you run directly at the animal. it runs away.
if you beg it to come to you. it completely ignores you.
you hold the food. stay still. and make them realize that running away/ignoring you means they'll starve.
and to be able to do that..
you need to know how to make this food absolutely irresistible to your audience.
just like how a crackhead's brain goes into survival mode when he runs out of crack.
pure addiction. pure craving. would do anything to get his hands on some.
that's all marketing and persuasion is.
all roads lead back to that.
the "business model" you're in doesn't matter g.
so save your sanity and stop chasing new ones.
once you engineer the addiction itself. it's cake from there.

wanna understand people/your market better than anyone else?
they'll say many things. but pay attention to what they actually do.
that girl told you she wants a nice guy who cares about her.
and when you tried adopting that character.
she still went back to her toxic ex.
now you know something about her. something beyond the surface she showed you
market operates in the exact same way.
who are people buying from and why?

if you're going to wake up to notifications
then make sure they're about money
not trying to sound like rick ross.
but he has a point you know.
it's a different type of feeling when you wake up to a "new subscriber to the archive" message on your lock screen
instead of 20+ reels sent on your IG group
instead of all the deliveroo offers
if you're anything like me. you don't care for a notification unless it makes you feel better in a way
i know you're waiting for her to text you back bro
so you resort to scrolling on your phone to get small hits until you get the real hit of seeing her name pop up on your screen.
but relying on her name to pop up is the reason she isn't texting you. just let it sit.
so why not create your own notifications?
by solving a pain point in someone else.
that's all business revolves around: selling people relief from their pain
you don't need to be a world class expert to do it.
just 3-4 steps ahead of the man/woman who have the problem and couldn't solve it.
if you were a skinny fat kid who managed to tone up and build some muscle.
then you're ahead of at least 50% of the population.
all you have to do is pick the type of person/demographic you can help.
could be 21 -35 year old men who got no energy to workout after office hours
40 - 55 year old women who blame their metabolism for their constant weight gain.
know some guys that make money simply because they knew how trick their dopamine system and stop getting distracted all the time.
and they showed other people how to do it.
pick your poison.
as long as you understand the problem better than most people.
the markets are endless.
and the paypal notifications endless too.
wire yourself to get your hits from progress.
enough said.

combine narcissism and obsessive focus together
and it will feel unfair how much faster you'll progress than everyone else.
no one with self doubt will get much done. in anything.
then they'll ask you how you figured it all out.
if you're reading this you probably got the same dark drive inside you.
but you have to work to fulfill that ego.
otherwise you're a delusional daydreamer.
if you want to flow with your work.
stop worrying about productivity. marketing. writing. sales. offer creation all at the same time
multitasking can only work for so long before you break down. no wonder you feel overwhelmed bro.
master one. then move on to the next.
productivity is the base. fix that. the rest will come naturally.
whoever is indifferent wins..
"wait why doesn't he care I ghosted him?"
"is he talking to other women?”
”damn he must have other options”
things both a girl and your prospect would say
same psychology. different arena.
you see. sometimes the product is top notch.
but your own state makes the prospect view the product like a pair of pants from temu.
no scarcity. no quality. no different than any other experience.
because they don’t buy the product. they buy the experience they get from using it.
and if this experience isn’t good/dreamy enough in their mind. they buy from someone else.
let me tell you about a concept called “the seller’s market”
in a seller’s market. demand is high and supply is low.
meaning that the seller has all the power. sets the rules. and the buyer is the one chasing because they can’t find that product easily.
opposite of a buyer’s market. where supply is high and the demand is always changing.
if demand drops. then you’ll have to drop your price to stay in the competition.
but this is where you get friend zoned by both the chick and the potential buyer
you never want to be in a position where you drop your price to meet someone’s needs. very fragile strategy.
because that removes the “dream” state you want them to be in. they think you’re just another guy/another product
I’m sure most of us have made that mistake before.
instead. you want to operate like you’re in a seller’s market.
not by pretending. by building it.
you don’t need them because you already got other buyers. your price stays the same because other buyers are more than happy to pay that price. your product is top tier which is why other people are interested.
that’s what indifference is.
not being overly cold. not completely ignoring them. just not needing the outcome.
being indifferent will directly reflect in how you act and approach your buyers.
and when you’re confident in your product + indifferent about the outcome.
people’s perception of your product is much higher.
see how it works?
the moment you chase. it’s over.
you’re technically fighting for scraps.
they might go for an impulse buy because your product is cheap and they need a quick hit. but they’ll leave once they find something better.
unless your product is insanely good and they decide to stay.
but at this point, you still lose anyway.
you just sold a fucking good product for dirt cheap because you weren’t able to show how valuable it is in the first place out of desperation.
and don’t mind if I slightly hurt your feelings here
but this means that you don’t see the value in yourself. which is why you weren’t able to give them the right perception.
simple as that.
to get them through the front door AND keep them.
the perception needs to be there first.
now you’re probably thinking
”grid, how can I act like I have options when I don’t?”
you don’t bro.
most people wouldn’t be able to act it anyway. because the issue is in how you view yourself.
it’s an exhausting mask to put on. and people will see right through it.
you build the indifference.
you go out there and grab the options for yourself.
again, not from a desperate mind frame. you have 5, 10, 15, 50 different conversations.
the buyer that ghosted doesn’t ruin your entire month anymore. because you don’t need them to say yes.
you don’t care if she replied because you got other shit to worry about that doesn’t revolve around her.
when you know your product solves a deep pain point, and you know you’ve put in the hours to make it bulletproof, the desperation vanishes.
you stop looking at a prospect like a saviour who needs to pay your pocket money, and you start looking at them as someone who either wants the solution or wants to keep living in the same loop.
It may be a little uncomfortable at first.
but that’s how you reach the seller’s market frame.
the outcome doesn’t phase you anymore.
re-read this until it sinks in.
love,
gridd.

you know... when you're starting out new in this game of business/influence
you're so worried about metrics and money
sure. some stress is good for you to keep moving.
but you're at a point where you can't enjoy the work anymore bro
the journey you're meant to actually savour
turns into 60 days of mental torture before quitting.
only later on do you realize that you've been an idiot who was focused on the wrong shit from the beginning
which is why you quit in the first place.
It wasn't your lack of discipline.
you just need to chill. pop a pouch. and type some content.
no one teaches you how to actually think and go about your life when you're on the grind.
they only tell you..
"lock in your room for 14 hours a day and stare at a screen until it works"
if you wanna become a top tier marketer
you need to have some imagination. go beyond the normal shit you think people want.
because they don’t want that…
they have other desires engraved deeper into their mind
Mercedes has LED lights inside the car because it makes you imagine yourself getting head from a blondie with red lights on.
not because it makes the interior “look cooler”
