These are real practical methods that thousands of people are already using. I will explain the concept of each idea , its implementation plan and in detail in the video. So the video might be longer than that. So keep a pen and paper with you to take notes. But yes, this method will work only for those people will actually implement it and not scroll to any other video after this video. So if you want to be among the top 1% people who earn more than ₹1 lakh monthly then like this video for the algorithm and play it at 1.25x for a algorithm and play it at 1.25x for a better experience. Let's get started. Businesses. First of all let us understand its concept. Have you ever noticed a pattern in the way a startup owner works? I tell you. There are many repetitive tasks in their to-do list waste their time and efforts. Such as answering customer or client calls and answering their queries or manually entering each new order into a Google Sheet or fixing or rescheduling appointments. And lastly creating and emailing invoices every month. Now such tasks may not seem small but they take up 4 to 5 hours of the owner's time every day. Look, I believe that business owners are decision makers and every second of their time should be dedicated only for the growth of the company. In fact, Sabri Subhi has said in his book Sell Like Crazy that if you want to make your business successful then never waste your time on such boring and low value tasks. A business owner should only focus on things that move the revenue needle. So coming to our point, business owners need such systems through which they can smoothly automate all their tasks and save their time and invest the same time in growth. Even I automated many of my my time. Like posting my content. I have a YouTube sometimes I don't even have an idea Look, thanks to my team who manages the work so well even when I am not around. But because of this, I get 2 to 3 hours free in my day. Where I can Now what is this automation? Its simple meaning is to automate the tasks that a person has to do every day. For example, you can create an appointment booking system for any salon. Where the customer himself chooses his time slot and an automatic SMS is sent to the owner. Or you can set up Which keeps giving delivery updates to customers on WhatsApp itself. It is simple software, simple plugins and simple integrations. But many thought might also be coming to your mind that this is the work of big companies But it is not like that. A few years ago, only big companies could afford automation, for which they used to invest lakhs of rupees was one of the most expensive automation software in the world. And it was made for the US Air Force, costing 1 billion i.e. more than Rs 8000 crore. But now with the help of no-code tools, you can create automation without learning coding, even at as low as ₹500 per month. There are many such softwares already available in the market like Udu ZP. Well, you understood the concept. Now let us understand how to setup this business step by step to earn ₹1 lakh per month.

Look, before working with any business, it is very important to understand Therefore, observe some small businesses near you like coaching centers, gyms, salons, small e-commerce stores or any other service providers. Go and talk to them about the problems they might face in their business and prepare a type of questions and conduct a survey of them. I have already told this in this video. So do check it out in the description or by clicking on the i button. After this, analyze their pin points and find out about the things which are repetitive and time consuming for them. These are the pinpoints that will form the basis of your automation. Because whenever you directly And in whatever session you have, two things should be very clear. Number one, it should be cost effective. That means the means that you can spend as much time as you want in setup but after that the business owner should not spend much time in managing it. Plus another bonus tip: always keep the solution simple and easy to use. Whatever pointers I am telling you now, please take notes of them, they will be useful to you in future. And if you post these notes on your Instagram story and tag me @wbcornerofficial, I will also repost them so that others can get help. After that comes step number to learn no code automation tools. Now that you know the problems, the next step is to learn the tools that will help you automate them. And the type of coding expert. You might now see some no-code tools with their use cases on your screen. So, be sure to take a screenshot of these. I also found the NL part of this very interesting. I myself am still learning it. As soon as I learn it, I will bring a very detailed video on it I have talked about Udu many times on my channel. A detailed video has also been made. But Natel is quite new and I am also learning it myself. I will bring a detailed video on it very soon. Now look at these tools, if you want to process. Each tool has a free plan. Get one of their free plans. make dummy projects yourself. You will already find many tutorials on YouTube. All Like email auto reply or invoice generation. Then gradually add some complex things. Like syncing customer data with CRM or creating real-time reports from Google Sheets. Your learning is always zero to 100. In the beginning, don't start from zero and learn only till 10. This does not take the most time because here your basics and your fundamentals process from zero to 10 is completed, the process from 10 to 100 will be done learned how to do automations. It's time to get leads. And for that comes Because when you are a beginner, clients will always ask you for your work, saying, son, show me what you have done till date. That's why you will have to keep small demo you can try so many things like create an automated email follow up system that automates the complete journey from lead capture to nurturing or create automation for social media scheduling and posting on multiple platforms or for any freelancer client emails, payment tracking and reminder sequences. Once you have your portfolio, you work from many places. Either you can reach out directly or you can acquire clients using various freelancing platforms like Fiverr or Work From Home. step number four deliver and upsell. You can very difficult. And this may take you several weeks. But Whatever skills you are learning daily, you will have to show them daily how you solve business problems and for this Instagram, X and Lindin are the best options. Once you get a client, put in all your effort to deliver results to him and discuss all your results openly on social media. For example, suppose earlier it took a client 4 hours to complete some work and due to your automation it takes only 30 minutes, then remember to After seeing such results, clients will automatically start coming to you. And this is where your movement will also start. Always remember that there are That's why get reviews from clients and also get referrals from them. And yes, keep offering monthly maintenance and new work flows to the client whose work you will automate. Now let's do an income breakdown and see tell you about two models here. Model number one project based income. It is a one-time job where you automate a specific process and Basic automation projects for small businesses in India can cost around ₹1,000 to ₹30,000. And if the project is very complex then it can go up to ₹50,000. create four small projects for which you are charging ₹25,000 each, then you can easily reach ₹1 lakh per month. Or even a complex process for a medium-level business for which you generally charge ₹50,000, then your goal will be achieved in just two projects. The advantage of this project based model is that you can achieve the target quickly. But there is find a new project every month. That's why Model Two is so important for long-term scalability and stability. Which is retainer based income. Here you Which is retainer based income. Here you keep providing updates. For small businesses, you can generally charge ₹10,000 to ₹15,000 per month. The that it gives you a predictable recurring income. And If any new project comes to his company, he will definitely give it to you. Now once you reach ₹1 lakh per month, you don't have to stop there. You have to scale for which you can create templates. That means, if one type of automation is coming to you again and again, then you can create a template for it and After that, by creating a professional profile on Upwork Fiverr, you can also work with international clients who will in fact pay you more money. Later on, so that you can handle more clients at a time. Now, let me also tell you a dark reality about these ideas that I am telling you here. Seeing this, many people will say that brother, if ₹1 lakh can be earned so easily then why doesn't everyone earn it? Why don't you earn it yourself? But this is your bad mindset which never lets you move forward in life. First of all, think for yourself that there are only 1% people in India who earn Rs 1 lakh or more monthly. That means if you want to earn so much then you will have to be different from 99% of Indians. Most of the middle class Indians have a very poor mindset which I do n't like at all that if you have a roof over your head and people who are happy with a salary of Rs 25,000. Now I am not irony is that this is the same middle class guy who also dreams of becoming rich. And as for why don't you try these ideas ? So brother, I have already earned my first ₹1 lakh per month 7 years ago. Now actually one lakh is not a big amount for me. Why should I bother myself so much here? Vaibhav who was trying hard everywhere to find out where he would get money. And then I had no choice. I did someone like Vaibhav sitting on the other side of the screen who dreams big, then he should get the right direction. May he find the right path to fulfill his dreams. I too was stuck in my survival phase at one time. I also used to wonder when will I earn lakhs of rupees. When will such a stage come where I can reach and say that simple thing in which I strongly believe that when this universe sees how much someone is struggling for something, then one day or the other it definitely brings results. There was a point when achieving ₹1 lakh every month was a That's why I always tell you not to take notes from him. Learn something from them. Well, leave it, it's my job to try. Whoever needs to change will change. Whoever wants to stay here will stay here even after the next 5 years. Let's move on to the next point which is even more interesting than the first one which is idea number two game testing and beta testing. Now let us understand its concept. Look, who doesn't like playing games? This must be the only task while But if I tell you that you can earn lakhs of rupees by making these games your high earning skills. So what? Here I am I'm talking about game testing and beta testing. Game testing means you systematically play a game before its release. You glitches, bugs, and performance issues in the game little different. Where the game is almost ready and the company gives it to limited users so that they can get real world feedback. also give your honest opinion. Such as the feel of the gameplay, difficulty level, interface biggest event that Apple organizes is WDDC where it launches its new version of iOS. released to the public in September. But even before that, Apple releases a beta version of the same software. So that these beta testers and developers can Now don't think that only big gamers or developers would do this work. that India's gaming industry is growing so fast that testing India's mobile sector was estimated to be worth $3 billion in 2024 and could reach $1 billion by 2033. Meaning, And this growth directly means that more games will be made and directly means that more games will be made and internet speeds and user backgrounds. students are a solid entry point for them. And the best part is that to any software development or deep knowledge. Yes, if you you will definitely get an advantage. But even beginners can get started using simple tools. how to execute it. Step by step. Step number one mindset and basic practice. First of all, you have to completely change your approach to playing the game. Develop critical aids while playing games. Keep checking to see if there are any glitches in the animation. Whether the response to whatever button you press is consistent or not. Whether there is any delay in the audio or not. You can do this practice at home without any tools, using your phone or PC. And after each session, found, when you found it, and how it writing habits will provide you with a base for real bug reporting. After that comes step number two to create a profile and optimize it. Your real work will start here. Create your account on all the crowd testing platforms. Play Test Cloud, User Testing, Test you can create your profile. In fact, keep it on Upwork and TrueLens as well. keep it on Upwork and TrueLens as well. Because on this basis the platform selects you for matching skills. keep a very simple setup for whatever recording you will keep. For example, download any screen recorder from Play Store in Android or if you have an iPhone then it has a built-in screen you use a PC, try OBS recording there. After that, your commentary can be clear. Whenever you test anything, you have to use think aloud in it. That means, whatever steps you are taking, what is actually happening, you have to tell all this through live commentary. So choose a quiet environment where there is no background noise. After that comes look, many platforms like Play Test Cloud offer a screening test. This is unpaid but can be your gateway to paid invitations. Read all its instructions carefully and follow them. Giving continuous commentary, explaining clear steps. When something is going wrong, pause it and explain it and by doing you can complete the sample test there so that the system understands that you are a reliable tester. After each test, add professional and honest comments to the feedback section, as quality feedback is what helps you secure future bug reporting structure should be very simple. Like After that, explain step by step how the problem is reproduced. After that, explain what you expected versus what actually happened and then tell its severity like whether it is minor or major or it definitely add a screenshot and video attachment. Every time, if you platform will put you in the category of preferred tester due to which you will start getting high paying or frequent invites. After that comes step number four, you can also directly approach indie game developers or small studios. To find them, just search for Game Developer India on Discord server or Reddit or Lindin contact them. Also apply for quality analysis internships. apply for quality analysis internships. two hour time slots every day for game testing. Like spending one to two hours checking invitations, completing a test fully and then sending feedback. And if you want to become a little more pro in this then you can also do niche specialization. Such as localization testing, accessibility feedback, or usability suggestions. This is a bit complex topic can also give you slightly higher paying roles. Remember, this requires no coding at all. You just have to understand the game well and communicate it properly. portfolio and credibility building. Create a simple Google Doc or PDF portfolio and start writing down the tested games, name, issues solved, and impact. name, issues solved, and impact. understand its income breakdown. There are three simple pillars here. The platforms like User Testing, Play Test, Cloud Test, IO which I have talked about earlier also. If you complete three to four short tests daily on these cloud testing platforms, three to four short tests daily on these cloud testing platforms, So you can earn from $50,000 to ₹75,000 monthly. But realistically no one earns that much in India. So if I tell you an actual estimate, it can be roughly around ₹40,000. After that comes pillar number two, developer testing. You see, there is a lot of competition in this crowd testing, if you work directly with developers, you can get a very high salary per project. Suppose you work on two medium projects and each project will take you 20 hours and your charges are ₹1000 per R. So you can earn extra ₹40,000 per month just from here. After that comes pillar number three, specialized high value testing. When you gain some experience then choose a new specialization. Hindi or any other regional language along with English. Its page is generally can do performance testing where you report FPS drops and cache on multiple different devices. Here, by doing just two short term specialized gigs, you can earn around ₹15,000 extra per month. So, with these three pillars, your total monthly Now let's move to the last idea which is idea number three Discord and understand its concept. This Discord or community building service a digital space for a brand or project where people supporters. In this, you get the work of server setup, daily moderation, content, calendar creation, attracting new members , hosting events for them and creating a positive culture. Here, it is not just about managing chats but creating a space where people feel emotionally connected to the brand. In India, the demand for such communities is increasing rapidly in sectors like gaming, tech, AI and web3. Step number one: Be a Discord expert. First of all, brother, and become an expert in it. Practice the functionalities of this platform. Such as creating custom emojis, managing stickers, using soundboard effects, mastering voice video, text at feature. After that master its advanced features. setting up specific roles for members, configuring permission systems , implementing automated bots, And one thing you have to do is join those successful communities and understand their psychology. And whenever you join such communities, always ask yourself what makes people stay engaged and contribute in these from YouTube tutorials or you platform then comes your step number to build your personal portfolio. The best way to prove your skills is to which you personally like very much. Like gaming, study groups, stock updates or music. Create a Discord server for that niche. college network and maintain regular interaction with them. Now growth stats, screenshots, engagement reports of the server you created will become the core of your portfolio. Every time you talk to potential clients, it'll be proof that you can step number three, get your first client. Go to any freelance platform and client. Go to any freelance platform and where you add the link of your portfolio server. show what work you have done before. Along You will have to send mail to a lot of people. Like startup owners, bloggers , Twitch streamers. These are all people who actually know the value of Discord server. All you need to do is create a personalized pitch for them. If they already have an existing server, suggest some improvement ideas for them, or if they don't have a Discord server, tell them about it. And then system. Once you find a client, follow a structured delivery process. goal: do they want brand awareness ? Want to improve customer support or increase sales through community? Then plan the which should have complete mapping of different channels, roles and permissions. And then create a monthly content plan and media promotion, collaboration and referral program. Organize some engaging activities every month like AMS, giveaways, contests or theme discussions. And actively so that the community remains safe and positive. After that comes step number five, scale up. Once you have two to three start scaling. Automate all your repetitive tasks through bots. Like welcome messages or reminders. And if you find it too time consuming, you can also hire part-time moderators. And this is not a small thing. Here you can also offer very premium services in future. deployment or cross platform community integration or large scale more than Rs 1 lakh by handling multiple communities. Let me ongoing community management package in India ranges from ₹20,000 to ₹5,000 per month. But it totally depends on the size of the community you are building and the features and the engagement level. If you create a package of say ₹35,000 and offer it, then by handling just three clients you can set your target of ₹1 lakh revenue per month. setup fee is also an extra income stream for you. It is very common practice to charge ₹10,000 to ₹30,000 for setting up a professional server i.e. creating a custom structure , for bots, for branding. , for bots, for branding. setup even two sets in a month and pay ₹15,000 each, then you will earn ₹30,000 extra. So these were the three proven ways by which you can earn ₹1 lakh per month as a student. requires a lot of patience and consistency. And it if your business experience is added to it, then this process gets accelerated even more. And if you want this experience to be at a professional level, then you can add accounting and finance skills. With certifications like US CMA or ACCA, you can work at the global level.
