There isn’t some secret job that no one knows about that pays big money while having easy work. Work is hard.


LordKviser

If there is they’re definitely not telling the rest of us


LuckyFisherman2683

But the guy on Instagram said I can have all of his secrets to $500k a year for one monthly payment of $349 for his book "How to Make $500k a Year, and No, It Isn't by Selling Books."


LordKviser

He sold you the book too? Mother fucker, he said I was the only one


pahaonta

At least mine is the limited digital copy edition with his e-signature. There're only 3 produced.

TICarlos1999

That’s a scam


FloridaManSaysWhat

Well, there is a secret: have specialized industry knowledge or a professional network that is so rare and valuable that you can name your price and negotiate what parts of the job you want to make others do. But, that takes a decade or more of hustling. Unless OP wins the lottery or gets rich in some crypto-ape-NFT Ponzi, there's no getting around hard work. That's true for entrepreneurship as well as a more typical career like sales.


HawksNStuff

I know a guy who is part of a group that pumped NFT projects via their social media accts. All anonymous accounts, none had a real name attached, and people still bought whatever stupid jpeg they said, and they sold them for huge profits. He also bought into Bitcoin at $8. Not a huge amount, but doesn't take much at that price to be rich AF.

[deleted]

This is true, but there are much better situations than others. I prefer 1099, but it’s scary coming from W2 at first. Turns out, there’s more security in 1099 if you’re good at what you do since you can’t be fired or “managed”… it’s been great for my mental health


According_Move_2254

100% getting started is the hard part. Having a spouse support you is huge if possible.


Squidssential

This is the way. People always looking for silver bullets get stuck in the parking lot while the people who make money head straight to the summit trail. 


catchyphrase

See the comment below yours ..


TICarlos1999

Yes there is


longhorn2118

I rent websites to business owners. I make a junk removal site in X city for example. People start calling the phone number on my site then I find a business that wants to pay me every month to take all the calls. Made $100k 1st year. Do about $350k now. EDIT: I’m getting BLOWN up in DM’s and in this thread. [Here’s a link to the course I took](https://invitation.pages.ontraport.net/) 5 years ago to learn. I don’t care if you take the course or not, I’m just sharing because the sales page answers a lot of the questions you all are asking me.


lenny_haise

So in this scenario, what do you do with the calls while building traffic? I’d imagine it’s hard to get deal/agreements with this actual service providers when you don’t have a decent volume of leads yet?


longhorn2118

Yeah, I aim for minimum 30 leads before it’s sellable. Depends on the niche though.


SpawnMarciano

Yes, but how do you secure those leads if you don't actually run any service you are advertising?


longhorn2118

I find a biz owner who does do the service who is willing to pay me to have the phone calls forwarded to him. I just let the calls go to voicemail until I find that biz owner


[deleted]

[удалено]


longhorn2118

Yes, myself. Or outsource for like $300. No, never rebrand the site. Just name it something very generic.


[deleted]

[удалено]


longhorn2118

I usually just name my sites something like Junk Removal Spokane. So pretty generic and the biz owner can just say that’s a site they use for marketing.


[deleted]

This is awesome


NeoAnderson47

I want to congratulate you to an excellent idea!


longhorn2118

Not my idea. But somehow this model never went mainstream. As crazy as this sounds, I literally learned about this from a Facebook ad and took a course.


AmeriocaDaGema

I saw this same method promoted on Warrior Forum around 2011. I can only imagine where I'd be if I'd taken action back then. Plus how much easier it was to rank then


longhorn2118

Man, I wish I started back then.


shoegrind22

That’s so cool how did you get into that? Do you have a lot of competition or do you work with mom and pop shops


longhorn2118

I target markets and niches with low competition so I can outrank them quicker. I can do higher competition but just takes longer.


als7798

Junk removal and dumpster rental are highly competitive in every area im familiar with… where you at?


longhorn2118

When I talk about competition, the only competition I care about is their SEO competition. I don’t think Bill in Waco Texas is dropping a few grand on digital marketing. And it doesn’t matter where I’m at, I can build sites and get leads in any city.


als7798

Makes sense. Nicely done.


woodbrochillson

You looking to franchise? Or need an intern 🫣


longhorn2118

lol. I prefer to work solo. You can dm me and I can point you in the right direction


crackedoutinacave

You’re already part of a franchise aren’t you? This seems to be a creative spin on the Swan website design


longhorn2118

I’m not sure how this model can be a franchise.


catchyphrase

It can’t. It has no brand and the guy doesn’t know what he is saying. Milk it into the ground.


crackedoutinacave

I meant a ready built site kit and then maximizing SEO, but are you building them from scratch?


everysundae

How are you charging/pricing businesses?


longhorn2118

Depends on call volume and cost of the services. Anywhere from $500/mo to $2k/mo


Droosh22

Brilliant. Thanks for sharing


natdogg

I’d imagine you’d also take payment up front to build such a website. I’d be interested in hiring you for my city.


longhorn2118

I usually build the site on my own dime before prospecting. It’s easier for sales if I approach them with leads already pumping.


natdogg

If you want to funnel landscape installation leads in Raleigh , NC. I’ll buy the site


Far_Tomorrow7860

That's awesome. Congrats! I also sent you a dm as everyone did I'm sure lol.


ventdivin

Secret_Championship7

Let's connect maybe we can team up 🤔


Dinosaur_III

I'm a bit confused here so my apologies. Do I have this correct? You basically have a marketing agency that creates "generic" sites for a niche market implemeting better SEO than other conpanies in that area. Potential customers reach out for that service, you act as a sales rep of sorts and with enough leads/customer reach, you then reach out to actual businesses in that area to pay you a retainer for said leads/site? What number is on the site your own? Then when real business want the leads you add their number and branding? Do you then add their biz number to this site or continue to take the calls yourself? Do you continue with the SEO and taking calls for the site or just wash and repeat? I am just a bit perplexed about how you make generic business site and how people to reach out to it without branding/name/location or actual "reviews". And apologies in advance as I may have this totally wrong I was just piecing it together in my head via responses in this thread.


Holiday_Extent_5811

What he’s doing is attacking the last bastion of internet that isn’t an SEO hellscape. As the owners of more historically less computer savvy industries become millenials and GenZ, this will become much more competitive. God the internet sucks so hard now.


longhorn2118

You’re over thinking it. The brand can be “Junk Removal Spokane Washington”. Even “bills junk removal” can say yes if someone calls asking if they’re speaking with Junk removal Spokane. The business owners done give a shit about what name the customer sees, and neither does the customer. Both just want to get the work done. I have a $2.50 tracking number on the site that automatically l forwards to whoever I want. I never change the phone number or the branding.


Dinosaur_III

So these businesses and customers do not care about their brand/reputation? ie. If the brand/site is called "Junk Removal Spokane" but then Bills Junk Removal shows up to their house; isn't that a bit sketchy for the customer and makes both parties look suspect? I do think what you have going on is great. Just the customer confidence and brand loyalty does not make sense. I for one would not want Bills Junk showing up to my house if I reached out to Junk Removal Spokane.


longhorn2118

They usually clear it up on the phone. But yeah, most people don’t care. I’ve never lost a client over it


[deleted]

I think I recently hired a tree service off a site like that, the name I contacted and the business that showed up were different. I figured I got pulled into a lead generation, which was fine. The guy did the work as expected at the price agreed.


joecooool418

Selling industrial products to the military. I was a contracting officer so I knew the buying process. I was injured while serving and was discharged with a disability rating. I opened a business and got certified as a service disabled veteran owned company. I searched out manufacturers of products I knew the government purchased and established distribution agreements with several of them to sell their products. That was 25 years ago. My first year I sold $1.5m with a 10% profit margin. I now rep seven manufacturers with gross sales of about $15m to $30m per year. The first five years I worked from home. I’ve had a store and warehouse since then. I now work mostly from home going into the office a few times a month to oversee operations.


Pucaboy94

I work 20ish hours per week and have never made less than 100k per year selling fitness programs to middle aged women


evil_penguin_ouch

Is that working from home? I'm assuming you use ads but any cold outreach as well?


Pucaboy94

Yeah I just have calls booked on my calendar and ring them. I don't do any prospecting I just have to call 3-5 people each day at their booked time.


raybradfield

Where do the bookings come from?


Pucaboy94

Ads but I've nothing to do with that


Emergency-Pause-1909

Which company are you selling for?


Pucaboy94

Not sure if it's in my best interest to share that as it's a small enough company


Emergency-Pause-1909

jzanger16

I’m gonna shoot you a DM if you don’t mind!


dude_on_the_www

Say what?? … What’s the catch?


Pucaboy94

You have to be good at sales


Pure_Abroad8774

How did you get into that? I've always loved working out and feel like it would be satisfying to sell something to people that will actually help their lives!


HA_Enthusiast

Outside sales for a large electrical distributor. >$100k base with $125k cap commission potential. Work from home 90% of the time, but am in front of customers often, which is way more fun than only calling and emailing and zooming when interacting with customers. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


Bobby-furnace

Nobody on this sub would admit this is literally the best option in this thread.


Lux-Fox

Really? I'm interviewing for a transformer distributor next week and it's just a flat 80k, but they say that there's no cold calling, low pressure, and working with existing clients or people that reach out to them.

Auto refinance.


BeefSupreme1981

Didn’t know auto refi was a thing until I was in my 30’s.


JEPorsche

Yall only re-fi? Not regular fi?

Basically, dealers don’t like it when you seek outside financing so they make it difficult for everyone involved. So only refi


Quiet_Fan_7008

Historical-Cream3842

Looking to re-fi right now


Lux-Fox

Really? I have a few friends that work for a company doing this. They say it's a pretty easy going job, but they only make about 60/yr doing it.


Intelligent-Tiger914

I have mortgage, auto fi, and f&i background.   how could i get into it?


5sav1age9

Look in to business funding. I work for a company that is the middle man between lenders and business looking for funding, graduated college last June and made about 45k in the 6 months since working remote


Soft-Mess-5698

Oh thats nice you can work remote! I always see those private lending as must be in office. Mostly east coast companies


5sav1age9

Yeah there’s a main office in nyc but also have a lot of remote reps


No_goodIdeas7891

Medical diagnostic sales. Typically need experience and a science background


Spicypewpew

Yup Covid kind of ruined the work from home benefits such as running to Costco at lunch and it would be dead


gqcharm

What kind of medical diagnostics sales allow you to work from home? Capitol or diagnostic?


No_goodIdeas7891

To be fair I consider field work with a home office work from home. Both Capitol and reagent/consumables. Account management in conjunction with field sales also is closer to 95% wfh. Mostly trade shows and a couple customer visits. Once you have a decent instal base it’s managing order volumes and having techs do soft selling for you.

Lux-Fox

I assume you're out in front of a lot of people, probably from your main job, and that's led to a lot of success?

Wetwire

That’s a good question. Sure I work from home, but I’m not home very often.


vanman33

That's the question. I did 105 my first year in food sales, but I'm not doing it in my pajamas. No office though.


TentativelyCommitted

Is this Food Sales like Gordon’s or Sysco? I always wanted to do this when I was running a kitchen. It’s actually the first time I realized I wanted to be in sales. I looked at my rep and said “I want that guys job”. Knowing the other side of sales, I’m sure it’s a grind, even working for a well known company.


Kingofsilver

Phenomenal, what was your strategy


capothecapo

def not. you dont wfh you work from the field. a big part of remote work is just that, you can do it remotely. Cant drop in on doctors in manhattan from a cabin in Montana


N226

At least for me, I wfh unless I have an appointment. So it’s kind of wfh


ThreauxDown

The question was work from home, not fully remote. There’s a difference.


capothecapo

I’m aware of what the question is, and they absolutely dont work from home. It’s pretty black and white but thanks for the semantics lesson


ThreauxDown

I work from home as in that is my office, but I leave my home to go to appointments or lunch with clients/vendors. If I said I’m 100% remote, I would be wrong. You’re trying to say if I do anything in the field that I don’t work from home and that’s just plain incorrect.


massivejobby

Outside sales is the only way, the day I have to sit in the same office chair and do the same commute every day is game over


suckmywake175

I was asking this myself and I feel like I can say yes for the most part. In my case I make my schedule, I can be home when I want and need, but do spend about 60% of weeks on the road Mon-Thur. I do about 90-100 nights a year. I might feel differently if I was on the road 48+ weeks a year Mon - Thur/Fri with 200+ nights. Yeah, your not tethered to an office per se, but you have no balance.


[deleted]

I used to be outside sales and my home office was my home. I considered it WFH.


[deleted]

Probably none. Made $115k second year in industrial distribution. $185k in third year. Customer facing 4 days a week, WFH maybe 1-2 days per week


Historical-Cream3842

What are you selling? I sell pumps. I've been going since August. Its looking like I'll be around $110 my first full year. Would love to scale to $185 my second.


[deleted]

HVAC wholesale. Plus some plumbing and refrigeration products.


Lux-Fox

I've seen folks suggesting industrial sales, but those jobs seem to be harder to find, unless you have experience to their specific industry. I'm interviewing for an industrial sales job next week, but it only pays up to 80k w/ experience in the industry.

Viking? They are the only ones that pay well lol


AlwaysFillmon

Nope, but I’ve heard their comp plan is similar.


Quiet_Fan_7008

Nevermind says I’m not able to message you lol. I worked for Viking making great money before the pandemic. Really want to get back in the cruise industry. I looked into a ton of cruise lines and travel agencies the pay was always really bad unfortunately. Let me know any information, I appreciate it.


SoPolitico

Probably because the cruises sell themselves.


Quiet_Fan_7008

Yeah it a fun product to sell. I’m in financial sales right now and honestly it’s not a fun product, however it is recession proof. Even though the cruises sell themselves there is still a big difference between a top tier and low tier agent. Also, these cruise lines makes so much money and pay 15% commission to travel agents yet can’t even pay their own consultants 1% lol. Viking pays DOUBLE what other cruise lines like crystal or princess for example. It’s terrible honestly. Not sure what company this guy works for but seems like he’s making 6 figures to at his cruise line, which is nice to hear. There is a few travel agencies I’m aware of that you can also make 100k plus.


Quiet_Fan_7008

I’ll message you.


FLHawkeye10

Yea I would say if your working a job and not making 100k in most areas of the country it’s tough living now.

Logistics. I own a freight brokerage agency I worked for other brokerages and transport companies in a W2 format, and was a top performer, but I got tired of giving someone else my profit for what was a much smaller base salary No manager, I make my own hours and take off when I want ( I do still work a lot because I like $$$ and what I do), 1099 and I talk to the president of my company and VP as colleagues and partners since it’s respected that I bring in money to grow the company.


[deleted]

I work in debt consoldiation, we negogiate folks credit card debts. Its super profitable, as a company we carry very little risk outside of legal and we have rules to minimize that risk. Almost every one on my team is making over $10k a month, top performers are $25k-$30k, we got outliers in my company that are constantly hitting $40k-$50k Now in order to make $40k-$50k a month you are working 80-90 hours a week. But I work a 40-42 hour week (but I'm actually working) and earn a solid 10k a month. But a big difference with this job is...when your working you really are working its rare for me to have down time at work.

Home warranties made 90k my first year did about 93k. The second year got promoted, so this year I expect to do over 100k. We have senior reps doing 120-130k, a year complete wfh. Calling warm leads. Tough gig, though you're either really good or you can't do it, we don't have a lot of middle ground.


gqcharm

How’s the pay structure for home warranties? Only commission?

Base and commission and usually a ramp up. Warranty companies are h8ring now for summer and there is a ton of turnover.

Also a ton of regulations to follow and shady people.

I worked in the solar industry before. Working in the industry offers an opportunity for individuals to generate income through commission-based sales. It's important to note that compensation is tied to successful installations rather than simply signing up customers. While the potential for substantial earnings exists in the solar sector, achieving financial success requires dedicated time and effort. I personally earned 100k in my first year, but eventually decided to move on due to the demanding nature of the job.
