Programmatic SEO has made $14,000 since Jan 26.
Before, I only knew how to make $$ by building selling software. Every other way to make money online was a black box to me.
In 2021, I learnt how you can make $000s from online courses.
Now I'll tell you HOW you can do it too.

"Why $1,000 per month?"
• Small but sizeable goal
• Difficult, but easy enough to achieve
All in all, it's a great starting point for anyone.
Once you get to $1,000/mo, figuring out the path to $10,000/mo is easier (hint: it's doing more of what works).

"What should I make an online course about?"
That's probably the first question to pop in your head.
And the answer is - it can be about ANYTHING, as long as
1. You know your stuff
2. There's people who care about that stuff
So the next question is

You might have noticed that all these folks have a sizeable audience on Twitter. But Twitter isn't the only place an audience can be built.
@jayclouse and @ChristianPev1 have sizeable audiences on LinkedIn, they blog and create videos on other publications a lot.

"Does it have to be an online course?"
Nope. Everything I said and am going to say can be applied to any digital info product.
You can make
• Ebooks like @arvidkahl
• Notion products like @JanelSGM
• Paid newsletters like @lennysan https://twitter.com/arvidkahl/status/1380068067523358722

"Is having an audience a pre-requisite?"
I launched Programmatic SEO when I had 3,000 followers.
@KennethCassel had a similar-sized audience when he launched http://vim.so
His course went on to make $15,000 in ~2 months. https://twitter.com/KennethCassel/status/1371088655981412355

Having an audience gives you a disproportionate advantage.
You don't need 100k followers.
Follower count shouldn't be your measure of success.
Instead, make your goal to build an audience of 1,000 people. https://twitter.com/AprilynneA/status/1378724791859879939

Build an audience where your would-be customers hang out.
Twitter isn't the only place to build an audience.
• LinkedIn
• IG Reels
• TikTok
• Substack
• Medium
• YouTube
• SEO
Go (where your audience hangs out) * (where you might shine).

"How do I get my first 1,000 audience on Twitter?"
First, figure out whose lives you want to add value to.
In my case, it's aspiring entrepreneurs trying to achieve financial independence via the internet.

Second, figure out what these people care about and want to learn, and add value.
In my case, they want to know how to build an online business, or build a weekend side-hustle that may eventually free them of their jobs.

Third, build credibility.
@dvassallo has an incredible course on growing your Twitter audience. My biggest takeaway was where he talked about credibility, or rather.
"Why should people trust you?" https://twitter.com/dvassallo/status/1380617820984156161

"What should I tweet?"
Value x Credibility.
• Share real-world experiences you have had as threads or solo-tweets compressing a lot of info
• Talk about the goals of your audience and how they might achieve them
• Talk about your goals and why others should care about them

Another wave that has taken over Twitter is to #buildinpublic
How to do that? Short answer:
• Do interesting things
• Share learnings, failures, and in-between transparently

"Alright Preetam, thanks for the story. Where's my $1,000/mo?"
If you noticed, I spent the entire thread talking about inputs.
Instead of saying something nice to read (dopamine-hit) like:
"Sell only 1 copy of a $29 course per day and you'll make $1000/mo"
I told you the HOW.

Programmatic SEO earns $1,000/mo passively.
I don't actively promote the course, yet enough people discover my profile each month and my existing audience helps spread the word.

Focus on inputs over outputs.
Because inputs are the only thing that's within your control.
Bonus: If you focus on the inputs and nail them, the outcome is inevitable.
