Charlie Zhang graduated in 2014 from medical school, and while searching for a job in his field of study, he decided to earn some money through some businesses such as modeling, private lessons, and working as a real estate agent.

Zhang published an article on CNBC explaining how he makes a monthly income of $114,000 per month within just one year of starting to post his videos on YouTube.

In 2018, says Charlie, I started posting personal finance videos on YouTube.

These videos did not find popularity at first until the Corona epidemic broke out in 2020. At that unplanned moment, these videos became about motivation and how you can grow your capital through entrepreneurship, and start projects without large capital that spread remarkably, and viewership rates began. Significantly rising every day.

I signed up for YouTube Adsense to get more money from my channel, and from here I started my effortless and steady income journey.

A year later, she made $1.5 million in profits.

And starting in 2021, I'm making an average of $114,000 per month in steady income through my videos, online courses, and social media posts.

The following are the projects that I started with and did not need any capital.

Affiliate marketing

Affiliate marketing is when you earn a commission for promoting certain brands’ products or services by sharing them on your blog, social media platform, or website.

You get paid every time someone clicks on your link or makes a purchase.

Since content creation is free, this type of business is easily accessible.

The real challenge in making money from affiliate marketing is creating meaningful content that reaches the right audience.

Let's say you start a blog about rejuvenating young people's lifestyles.

You can use the Google Trends tool to collect data on what people in that age group are searching for.

You might, for example, find a sharp rise in the number of people Googling "best hair care brands" and immediately start writing articles about those products.

Thus, whenever you find a trend that is rising and your target readers are looking for it, the faster they adopt a point of view on this topic, participate in the discussion, and offer your products.

It would also be useful to consider creating a YouTube video showing these products in action.

You must deal with reputable companies that provide high-quality products or services, and you should be proud of your products at this stage and avoid, as much as possible, the possibility of customers returning to you with complaints.

The products have high conversion rates.

This means that many people who view the product end up buying it.

 Earn through YouTube

YouTube AdSense pays more than half of the revenue to the content creator, and many of your older videos are still generating a stable stream of income even after more than a year of being broadcast.

Your channel needs at least 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 watch hours to start making money.

My advice is to upload videos frequently.

I currently post 3 to 4 times a week.

But when I first started developing my channel, I was posting almost every day.

Charlie asserts that marketing products and services from other brands helped him earn more money, and his goal was to create a product once and sell it for a long time through digital courses, online subscriptions and applications.

He says some of the most important strategies that have helped me achieve such rapid success include:

Create sales funnels automatically

Charlie points out that the "sales funnel" is the process a customer goes through before making a purchase.

Through it, customers find it on social media, and then they are pushed through its sales funnel to sign up to its email list to send them product offers.

Charlie has set up a system on his website to create a sales funnel, where customers are automatically added to his email list and receive offers about his service.

Interact with your audience

Charlie explained that individual posts on Instagram or TikTok are effective for providing value and entertainment to your audience, but it is almost impossible for your audience to identify you through these posts.

And he stated that it is important to have contact with the audience, because when people know your identity, they start to trust what you say and what you sell, which will lead to more sales.

"I interact directly with my audience by responding to their comments and messages, or through live broadcasts on Instagram and TikTok. This gives me an opportunity to build a personal connection with them through real conversation," he says.
