I, for example, have already generated more than $5,000 in this last month through digital products, YouTube, Instagram and collaborations with brands. And all of this has been thanks to my personal brand. And if you want to start earning money and monetizing your social media, stay tuned to this video because I'm going to show you how you can create a successful personal brand so you can monetize your so you can monetize your knowledge or content and start making money online. And look, for this video I took the time to make a mind map with the three fundamental steps for you to start making money this month based on your personal brand. And look, basically this is for people who want to sell something online, affiliates, producers or co-producers of digital products, personal brands that already create content, have a presence on social media but are not monetizing it, or anyone who has knowledge that can solve a problem and wants to monetize that knowledge online. So after several years, after many attempts and errors, I have decided to information I am going to give you here can literally change your life as it changed mine in the past. And all I ask in return is that you subscribe to the channel and like this video, because I'm always bringing you high-value content about digital sales, making money online, artificial intelligence, and everything you need today to monetize your knowledge and start earning money, or not. And before we continue with the video, let me show you a tool that I'm using a lot and that has really simplified my life with everything PDF-related. And this tool is called UPDF and honestly it has surprised me a lot and in a very pleasant way because the as if it were a Word document. You can change text, images, links, delete watermarks, rearrange pages, and everything is super smooth, without any strange complications. But what I liked most is that it has built-in artificial intelligence and you can literally open a PDF and give it various commands. For example, you can tell him, "Summarize this for me, translate it," and he actually does it very well and translates it into several languages ​​or even turns the whole document into a mind map, which I think is amazing. For YouTube, if you're going to study for university, if you need a presentation, etc., etc. And the best part is that you can also chat with images within the PDF; it's a whole new level for studying, creating content, and analyzing long documents, because very few tools have this feature integrated. It also allows you to convert files, password-protect PDFs, digitally sign them, and even compress them for find very key is that it works on Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and pay for different subscriptions; with one license you can use it on all devices. If you want to try it, I'll description because they currently have a limited-time offer. Take a look and tell me what you think . Now then, let's continue with the video. doing and pay full attention because look, this information I have here can literally change your perspective on how you see things and you can get a lot of ideas about digital businesses. Look, I've created a really nice mind map here to explain each of the steps of personal branding, break them down there. And at the same time, I want to show you my results with my personal brand. I'm going to show the results from this past month. I'm not going to show everything, I'm only going to show a part. Look, I'm not doing this to show off, but to inspire you and for you to see that what I'm showing you is really what I live and breathe every day, and that the here inside my Hotmart account and, for example, in these last 30 days there's already $1,583. I'm also here in my on PayPal, look, I'm going to go here where it says all transactions and obviously some hidden data will appear , but let's apply filters where it says payments received, last 30 days, apply filters. And look, all of this is thanks to my personal brand. Here there are affiliate commissions, software sales commissions, app sales commissions, collaborations with brands, and as you can see, there are commissions of $39, can see, there are commissions of $39, $45, payments of $400, $250, $147, $257, and here in this last month we have approximately $5,000 outside of Hotmart. And I also want to show you AdSense, which is how YouTube pays. It will show here the AdSense for YouTube, that the last payment of the last month, of the last 30 days, was So, I'm showing you this because I like to be totally transparent with my videos and I like to [music] teach what I preach and what I do. So, I'm going to put the computer down here and bring the iPad over to show you the three steps to build a successful personal brand, start selling online, and monetize all your social media accounts. As you can see, it consists of three steps. The first is content production, the second is digital products. Look, and these are the little like to leave no doubt. If you have any questions during this video , write them down here in the comments and I'll be move on to point number one, which Remember that we are talking about personal branding, and basically, in personal branding we say what we do, what we are dedicated to, and what people will find in our profile. Then three steps are broken down . The first of these is content production. I want you to keep something in mind, and that is that without content we will not have a presence on social media. Giant companies like Coca-Cola, Burger King, Nike, companies that are recognized worldwide, but they never stop making their commercials. Because? Because that gives them more visibility and brand recognition. So, the first step is content production. We can produce content for YouTube and also for Instagram. And here I want you to keep something very important in mind: if you're going to make videos for YouTube, you should focus on long videos, focus on long videos, a really good cover, a very relevant topic, and a winning title. In addition to this, I would also add here as a bonus, and what really makes a big difference, is having a very good script. Many people who create content on YouTube skip this script step and just create whatever comes to mind. So, that would be the topic for YouTube. When we talk about Instagram, we're basically about Instagram, we're basically talking about reels, carousels, and stories. Look, which one can you dedicate yourself to? So, when Instagram, it could be TikTok, but the question with Instagram here is, what is it? And I want you to keep in mind that generally on the social network Instagram you have to do paid traffic because the organic reach of Instagram is very small, it can be between 10% or 20%. However, on YouTube everything changes because there is too much organic traffic. YouTube's organic traffic is wonderful. In fact, the best proof of this is my channel, which already has 140,000 subscribers and I've never spent a single penny on advertising. I've dedicated myself to creating really good content. So, what's the moral of the story? If you have the time, if you have the time, I recommend that you create content on YouTube. If you have money but no time, then Instagram would be a much better option . The best thing about it is that So, look, for example, with artificial intelligence, we can create a sales page with artificial intelligence, we can create our own avatar with artificial intelligence, so there's no need to appear on camera. We can create our ebooks or templates to sell or give away using artificial intelligence. We can create scripts or improve content scripts with artificial intelligence and also create images with artificial intelligence. The best part is that artificial intelligence is here to truly help us as entrepreneurs, business owners, and marketers to achieve greater volume. So, what used to take, for example, a sales page, 2 days, can now be done in 30 minutes. I even have videos here creating sales pages, I have videos making avatars with artificial intelligence, I have videos artificial intelligence, in short, you can find everything here on the channel, so there's no content. So, that's step number one. Now, step number two is sales funnels. And look, I made this very clear here, and that is that sales funnels are basically divided into two. There is the traffic source and the conversion system. So, let's first go to the traffic source, and that is that in the traffic source we will have organic traffic, paid traffic and organic traffic and paid traffic, which is exactly what I've been telling you here in the part about personal branding in content with Instagram and YouTube. Here you can even combine the two, have reals, TikTok, shorts and YouTube as organic traffic and also do advertising or, why not? Combine the two and you'll do that to bring in all those people who are on the internet. Look, all these dots are people who are on the internet so that you can take them to your conversion system, and that conversion system will take care of getting all those people who don't know you, who are curious, to buy your products or services. And for that we are going to use a conversion system or some conversion systems which would be the sales strategies. And look, I already have a super-detailed video showing all these sales strategies, which are actually sales strategies that I use. Download the video above; there are four cards. I'm just going to quickly pass by so you can going to quickly pass by so you can see them. It goes directly to WhatsApp, directly to the need a meta pixel to be able to mark conversions and you will also need a sales page. There's the live class strategy, which is a single class where you capture leads to add to your list, and there's also the launch, which in this case would be three live classes, list creation, and a WhatsApp chat. But remember, to keep on the cards. And as a third point we have digital products, which are what will give us the power to be able to bill on the internet, because they are products that you create once and you can scale them. Look, let me explain it better. Digital products are intangible digital solutions that are intangible? It's something I can't touch, I can't feel. This, for example, is a stylus for the iPad. The person who needs it knows this, and I can touch and feel it. But how are you going to tell someone, "You don't have a way to showcase my online course, how to display an ebook?" So what we do is precisely to be able to show them through some mocap images. This is something I've already talked about in other videos, but basically it's those intangible solutions that are sold online, like courses, memberships, consulting, and ebooks. We'll go over that in a little more detail in a few moments. They are obviously delivered in digital format and the best part is that they can generate scalable income. And believe me, this part is very good because when you have a digital product you don't pay rent, you don't pay shipping, you don't pay energy, as would be the case , for example, selling a physical product and having a stock or setting up a warehouse. And here we go to the next point, which is that we host those digital products on Hotmart. I want to tell you that it's not the only platform there is. going to show you some at the end of this video where I sell them. But people who are just starting out or if they want to affiliate with a digital product? Look, because it's a global platform. So, you can have creators, affiliates, and buyers right there, and it handles secure payments in wonderful. It has a student app for easily accessing the content. So, you create a product, the person buys it, and Hotmar takes care of sending the access to the customer. There's an opportunity to sell nationwide, and it also has a complete ecosystem where we can have funnels, sales pages, and even a feature called AI tutor that was recently added to the members' area, which has been very helpful for people who need to ask questions about the answer them. Look, some examples of digital products are online courses, for me it's one of the most popular, ebooks, and within ebooks, that is, when we talk about an ebook it's like a digital PDF that can be a template, it can be a checklist, it can be a step-by-step guide. So, any format that is a digital ebook can be placed here. The topic of podcasts and audiobooks has also become very popular lately. In fact, I use an app called Headway and I pay for it annually. I think it's wonderful. That's a digital product. This is one of the things I've been focusing on a lot lately, and that's selling software or applications. In fact, I have videos here of me making applications with on the cards or down here in the description, and also video classes, description, and also video classes, memberships, or consultations. And within all this, we have three forms, both for online courses and Hotmart. We have three ways of operating: as a digital product affiliate, as a producer, and also as a co-producer. And look, I'm going to break each one of them down for you so you have no doubts, because there are many people who don't know how to explain it or simply misinform people. When we talk about affiliate marketing, we are referring to an where there are several products that we can affiliate with and earn a commission. When we talk about being a producer, we mean that I, for so I am a producer, but I also sell as an affiliate. You can do both, or even all three. I even do all three. Basically, if you have your ebook, your course, or your membership, you register it on Hotmart and you keep 100% of the commission. Hotmart will always give you a 10% discount on every sale, no matter the product, so keep that in mind. And we have the co-producer one, which are basically partnerships, I mean that, for example, you can have [music] or you can be the expert on the subject or in the niche and you can have a strategist or digital traffic manager who can handle the whole strategy for you. Then you join forces and start distributing commissions. So, for example, let's suppose that you, I don't know, are the owner of the product, you are the person who has the traffic to you. So you tell him, "Look, I'm going to give you 30% of all the commissions and I'll keep 70%." So, you join forces and make a co-production. Now, when we talk about our own products, look, the ideal thing is to form a team, because for seeing here on YouTube, I would be totally crazy if I were the one who edited, the one who recorded, the one who created the scripts, the one who made the covers, the one who, I mean, it would be crazy. So, for example, my team is doing the recording member of my team is doing the editing, I create the covers using artificial intelligence, I write the scripts and improve them with CHGPT. Now I'm the one for that I need an iPad, I need a computer. So, when we talk, for example, about our own products and being a producer, then what I do recommend is forming a team. What is the minimum viable equipment needed to grow your personal brand and dedicate yourself to content creation? Look, I highly recommend, first, a video editor and second, a digital trafficker or digital strategist. If you manage to team up with these two people, believe me, you already have everything you need to start making money online with your personal brand. Now we are missing the last one and in fact one of the most important, which is the affiliate market and as I told you, it is earning commissions for the sale of digital products. So you're going to sell a product and you're going to earn a commission. At the end of this video we're going to do some sales simulations so you can see that it's not unreasonable to make $500 in 15 days. And for that you can do it with digital products that we already saw, an ebook, a course, a membership, an application. You can do it with tools that would also be a digital product. So, there are tools that, for example, are dedicated to creating the sales page or using software. I, for example, sell software, which is for automation, for creating avatars with artificial intelligence, also software for making applications with artificial intelligence or also as an affiliate you can create UGC content and sponsorships, which I also do. So, for example, talk about digital marketing? Do you talk about making money? Do you talk about technology? here, a chatbot for WhatsApp? I'd like you to make a dedicated video, and in return, we'll pay you $500 for that video." So, it's happened that brands have approached me wanting to do these sponsorships. Also, in UGC content, which is in UGC content, which is what we do here is they send us the product, we do a review, and with our discount code, we earn commissions. So, there are these ways to earn money with digital products: marketplaces and affiliates, our own products, and partnerships, which translates to affiliate, producer, and co-producer, which would be our third step. So, look, here we already have the three steps, and since we're talking about digital products, which is our third step, and these tools and commissions, I want to show you some of the tools I sell so you can see... Roughly how much are the commissions and at the beginning of this video, I'm not doing this to brag or anything, I Obviously, some information has to be censored , but look, for example, I earn commissions of 8.7, 8.7, 129, and here's one of $6. If I go to the next page, there are more commissions. 86. There are some refunds here, which is normal. And the best part is that this is 100% not automatic thanks to my personal brand. I also sell another tool here; in fact, I'm going to click here where it says "commissions" and I'm going to put some of the " paid" items here, and look, for example, these are commissions. This is about 30% of a tool I sell. That's $18. $7 , $4, $18. All of that adds up at the end of the day. And I at the end of the day. And I also have another one here called "partner tag." I even have here... Look, I didn't even know I had an available balance here, and if I come here, for example, to the reports, look, here, example, to the reports, look, here, for example, there are earnings of $2,567,451, time to selling these tools; what I tools; what I dedicate most of my time to is strengthening my personal brand, which is exactly what I'm teaching you in this video. steps—this is exactly what I 'm teaching you in this video— 'm teaching you in this video— digital products so that you can monetize your personal brand or your knowledge once and for all. Maybe you've seen many videos where they tell you, "No, it's this, it's that, it's branding, it's the niche, it's this, it's the other thing." Look, it's good that you have that information, but I wanted to bring you this video based on my experience. Based on the experience of other entrepreneurs I've advised, I reduced it to the bare minimum. I thought, "What can I record in this video, what can I tell people essentials?" Look, it's these three things, really: content production, sales funnels, and digital products. In fact, I'd like you to put it here in the description: one, content production; two, sales funnels; three, digital products, so you can start memorizing them and begin working on them. Now, I want us to do a simple calculation because more than just giving you this information, I also want to share my just information, but knowledge. And it's about how to earn $500 in 15 days. Because, you see, many people say, "$500? No, that's a lot, very 's not unreasonable at all. Let's suppose you're going to become an affiliate Codmar, an artificial intelligence product , a physical product, whatever , a physical product, whatever you want, that costs $40 and that product has a 50% commission ( for digital products, the commission is between 50% and 80%), meaning you 'll keep $20, which is the profit for a pretty cool exercise here that I'm sure will give you a lot of clarity. If we have $500 that we want to invoice, we have $500 that we want to invoice, we 'll divide $500 by $20, which 'll divide $500 by $20, which is the commission. This will give us 25 sales. That means we have to make these 25 sales in a period of 15 in a period of 15 days. And if we divide 25 by 15, this will give us 1.6 sales per day to invoice $500 thinking, "Jonier, but how am I going to make 1.6 sales per day?" Look, let me explain it better. I'll... I created this chart, which represents 15 days. So, considering we need 25 sales in 15 days and that we need 1.6 sales per day, look, I'll show you how online sales work when you've been building your personal brand, and it works by accumulation. You might have spent, say, 30 or 60 days recording good videos, creating a good CEO, and starting to get organic traffic. Then, why not add a little paid traffic and start building a community based on what you're going to sell or what problem you're going to You're going to sell an intermittent fasting course . So, you're going to start creating videos about healthy eating, healthy habits, intermittent fasting After that process, you'll say, "Okay, in 15 days I need to make $500." Maybe on the first day, here's the first day, and here day, here's the first day, and here 's one sale. Then on the second day, 's one sale. Then on the second day, another sale. More. On the third day, two sales, but on the fourth day you didn't sell anything, but the next day there were three sales, then the next day one sale, then the next day two sales, then zero sales, but it turns out that on the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, well, on the tenth day, four sales started coming in. That's where the something you make 10 of in one day. You might not sell anything the next day, you might then four or five sales come along; that's what usually happens. So, look, here zero sales, then here came four sales, then two sales, here zero sales, and at the end of the 15 days you managed to make three sales and two sales. So, if we add them up, that's 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 10, 18, 20, 23 sales. So, sales of a product sales. So, sales of a product that costs $40 with a commission of $20. that costs $40 with a commission of $20. This will give us 20 * 25 It's going to give us $500 in net profit with your personal brand. Look, believe me, I didn't hold anything back to show you how to create a successful personal brand in a simple way. And believe me, this whole projection thing, when you do this so clearly, can change your life. But I have to tell you something: this doesn't happen overnight, and you have to go through the process that I went through in the past, and I can tell you more or less what you can do. You absolutely have to eliminate distractions and use that time you would have spent on distractions to study, execute, and learn quickly. So, this whole thing about going out on weekends to party, being with friends at night, spending , on social media— you have to start setting limits and say, "I'm going to invest that time in my knowledge, and I'm going to transform that knowledge into money." Another important point is consistency. Look, it doesn't matter if you procrastinate for a It does n't matter if you can't do it tomorrow, or if you 're not in the mood. The important thing is that you're always doing things, evolving, always moving forward. One of my biggest secrets to the results I have today is never stopping. I never stop. Maybe there's a week when you can't, a day when something comes up, , I never stop, and that has brought me great results because nothing is more powerful than consistency and the superpower of doing one thing every as we say here in Colombia, like a "berraco" (a term of endearment for someone determined to succeed), because things are changing at breakneck speed. Today we see one thing, tomorrow we see another. And if you identify that trend, that wave, and ride it, and immerse yourself in it deeply, believe me, you'll always be I highly recommend that you subscribe to this channel because I Here talked about.
