I’m sure you’ve heard the saying that it takes money to make money. Instead it should be: it takes an investment to make money. If you don’t have money to invest then you must invest time.
Every business needs an investment to work. And, yes, you’re building a business.
This guide is an attempt to show you one way you can use time/effort to start earning money. I won’t sugar coat it – money can make things happen a lot faster. You’ll need discipline and patience to build a business without it.
Here is a quick rundown of what we’ll be using:
- A Facebook account (it’s recommended to use your personal profile but a business page is OK, too)
** Do NOT create a 2nd Facebook account for this or you risk being banned! ** - The OLSP System
- A free email account like GMail
That’s it!
There are more advanced things you may want to purchase to make your life easier down the road, but we’re only using free stuff for now.
The Process
Basically, you’re going to be using Facebook as your marketing platform. You’re going to post on Facebook to promote events and products within OLSP. When someone purchases what you’ve promoted, OLSP will pay you a commission. You can also build an email list by having others sign up for OLSP as part of your team (we’ll talk about that in the next post).
Follow the Process!
Initial Set Up
You can skip any of these steps if you already have an account.
- Register for Facebook or create a business page if you prefer.
- Create a free email account. I prefer GMail but you can use any email that you want for your business.
- Register for the OLSP System.
I think the Facebook and email parts of this are straightforward so I won’t go into those. As always, reach out if you do need help with them.
Let’s talk about OLSP.
OLSP is going to be your internet marketing hub. Inside the website you’ll find lots of free training and products you can promote. Within the Facebook group you’ll be able to talk with others and see their progress (and share your own progress too!). You can also promote Facebook webinars or live events.
Here’s how to get it set up:
Click here, watch the video and go through the 3 steps. That’s it! Those 3 steps will get you connected with the Facebook group and an account with the OLSP website.
Feel free to watch the welcome videos and look around the website.
Some of the products you can promote require you to watch the training first. It’s a good idea to go through some of it anyway because you’ll learn so much!
Now you’re ready to start promoting!
The important pages in the OLSP website for now are the Dashboard and Commission Generator. Those screens will show you what is available to promote on Facebook.
I recommend you watch the webinars before you promote them so you’re familiar with it and can talk about it a little in your post.
Then it’s simply a matter of writing a post on Facebook and copying the link under “Your Promo URL” to your post.
Take one of these links:
And create a post on Facebook:
That’s all you need to do. But you need to repeat this over and over. Scroll back up and look at Roland’s post – he promotes things for OLSP every day on his Facebook page.
Think of it as planting seeds and eventually you’ll have a garden.
That’s enough for the first part. Get started on your Facebook posts!
We’ll talk about your email list in the next post. (coming soon!)
