How to make your first $1 on the internet:
— Justin Welsh (@thejustinwelsh) June 26, 2023 -
1. Talk to people
— Justin Welsh (@thejustinwelsh) June 26, 2023
You can't make a dollar without understanding people's problems.
Too many people skip this step.
Go talk to your prospective customers.
Find out what their top 2-3 most painful problems are.
Can you solve them? If so, then... -
2. Grow a small audience
— Justin Welsh (@thejustinwelsh) June 26, 2023
Start sharing info and advice they care about.
Tweet daily about what you know and what you learn.
Show them you care about solving the problems they told you about.
"Here's what I heard - here's how I'd fix that." -
3. Build an email list
— Justin Welsh (@thejustinwelsh) June 26, 2023
Once you have a small audience, then consider showing off more of your expertise.
Start a newsletter or build a free guide.
Offer it up and ask people to subscribe.
Deplatform your most interested users to a list that you control. -
4. Use easy tech
— Justin Welsh (@thejustinwelsh) June 26, 2023
Tech doesn't matter in the beginning.
Use what's cheap and easy, or what you already know how to use.
Stop looking for the "perfect stack".
It doesn't exist.
Just get started - you can always change later. -
5. Build an Offer
— Justin Welsh (@thejustinwelsh) June 26, 2023
If you have a small email list, you need something to offer them.
Go back to step 1.
What was that big problem?
Create a 60-minute program to walk them through that helps solve it.
Price it reasonably & talk about it in your emails. Link to it. -
6. Sell Something
— Justin Welsh (@thejustinwelsh) June 26, 2023
If you've done all of this, you'll likely find a few people book with you.
Does this mean you have a scalable business? No, of course not.
But, hopefully you'll start experimenting & having fun. Trying new things.
Congrats - you're starting a business! -
The reason that making $1 matters is that it changes your mindset.

Here's the entire blueprint to follow.
Start this evening or start tomorrow.
Just start.
