the best day I ever had was $37,000 revenue and $10,000 profit one day and
that was when I was working almost no I was working barely anything at all
maybe one hour a day tops
welcome to true lives with me Tom claflin where we try to look at the
question of what are you going to do with your life
what does living a good life mean and how do you create that so I'm
going to be interviewing a bunch of different people who I believe have
created really amazing lives for themselves generally from nothing and
gone on to do really cool things purely with the power of their imagination and
willpower and those are kind of a two themes imagination and willpower to
create something really amazing for yourself out of nothing just the other
day i was interviewing a guy from Estonia 20 years old already sold one company
traveled around the world is in Vietnam here in Ho Chi Minh city building a second
company doing a lot of cool things we're really inspiring kid twenty years old
when I was twenty year olds old like I was drinking with my time like it's amazing
II what one can do now where you have to access the internet and you can just see
so much see what other people are doing this access stuff so many tools so many
networking making connections learning from other people you can really achieve
kind of anything you can imagine now if you work for it so I'm going to be
interviewing a bunch of different people to try to find out how do they do it how
do they create amazing lives for themselves so I thought I start with my
my personal story so why should you listen to me Who am I you don't know me
personally you're just seeing some guy talking at you on the internet so I did
something that that I think very few people have done
I went from literally nothing no no money no connections no skills no real
good skills or anything like that totally broke pretty much to creating a
multi-million dollar company within a year all from my home here in Vietnam without
taking on any outside investment or going into any debt within four and a
half months I went from having maybe $200 in my bank account to over
$100,000 all this working from home on the
Internet living here in Vietnam it's truly a
remarkable I'm not the only person who's ever done this but it's not that common
so I want to tell you that story how I went from nothing to something I'm going
to start it when I first came to Vietnam
7 years ago when I first came here I was 25 years old it was January 6 2010 and I
had no idea when I was going to do with my life I didn't know what I wanted to
be I didn't know what I wanted to do didn't know what kind of person I was
and I guess I sort of wanted to find those answers out
so to make money I was
English teaching I was working maybe 8 hours a week maybe
10 hours a week making about at most $1,000 a month so I was kind of just
getting by eating a lot of street food and spending a lot of time alone both by
choice and by force because I was really poor but the goal was not somewhat to
have a good time it was to remove everything that was unessential for my
life and this process took a number of years both in removing the events with
activities in your life that are not important to you and also removing
the thoughts or opinions or ideas that don't really help you in any way the
main process I used to do this was meditation though that's kind of a fancy
name and sort of popular right now and really meditation is really just sitting there
and staring at a wall was what I was doing and meditation is usually very boring
and not fun and very difficult so I I did that for a number of years and over
time after about 3 years of sitting and staring at a wall I realized that this
was quite boring and I wanted to make a lot of money and I wanted to do it fast
and preferably easily and from home and legally because I'm not very much a risk
taker in that way. so how can I possibly do it how can I go
from no skills and no money to lots of money and lots of skills without getting a
job and while working from home the answer is how to make money on the
internet so a lot of people have tried its Google on the internet how to make
money on the internet and you'll get a lot of bullshit results maybe right
ten million bullshit results so it took about two years of kind of maybe year
we're just kind of going through that bullshit trying to find well what is the
secret what are these people doing is it all just lies or they just try to scam
you I eventually came across a forum called STM stack that money used to be
called and they were kind of advocating a specific strategy online it was
called paid media arbitrage or performance marketing where you were
buying ads you were buying ad space say from google you were buying google ads your
advertising someone else's product and they were giving you affiliate
commissions on the sales of that product so the goal was to make money off the
difference between the amount you spend on ads and the amount you made in commissions
and that's kind of the arbitrage and the performance part because you are
only paid on the commissions you got and you only made a profit off the
difference between those commissions in the ad spend so in theory it's pretty
simple in practice it is rather difficult so I started with a pay per
call ads on Facebook or on Google AdWords traffic
I was advertising for a call center that wanted insurance leads they were selling
health insurance through the call center and they wanted
people to call up so I bought ads on Google basically saying do you want
health insurance or I kind of forget the exact copy butBut it was like call now
to get free health insurance quotes so I was paying like a few dollars a click on
Google and I got paid I forget what it was many twelve dollars for a person who
stayed on the phone call for more than more than one minute and it was kind of
profiting sometimes if you look some days they make a few hundred dollars
some days i would lose a few hundred dollars but it was functioning I
was getting calls like a kind of see some potential but I had no idea what I
was doing I'll just just learn this off the
internet and read some forums I had no idea what I was doing then to my good
fortune a course came out by this STM forum and it was being taught by a guy
with a screen name Zeno real name Dave who I have now since become good friends
with and he was going to teach the basics affiliate marketing from start to
finish in the 6-week mastery course it still exists you can
still take it I highly recommend it fantastic and totally changed my life so
I started that course and one of the offers that we were running for that
course was called privacy lock it was an app that kind of put a a lock on your
pictures so or on your apps and messages so for example if you were sharing your
phone with your other family members you could kind of hide your stuff from them
so this was being offered in Indonesia so I was advertising in Indonesia
for an app that I didn't own called privacy lock
so i was buying traffic from a messenger another app that I was putting ads for
this app on it and I tried a lot of different ads
I don't speak Indonesian in fact I don't really know what language they speak in
Indonesian but fortunately I don't have to know that because I got translated on
the Internet so I got my creatives translated the winning ad was the
winning headline was is he looking at your pictures while you're in the shower
with a picture of a dirty guy looking at the pictures in the phone and that
what got people clicking and downloading the app so I was managing
within about a month of trying that campaign I was doing about $400
a day profit which was probably some of the greatest days of my life they
totally changed my life what the power of the internet was the power of
marketing on the internet was you didn't have to have a product
you didn't have to have a company you just had to find traffic that was cheap
buy it it hoped that it and try to get a good enough ad that converted those
people into into installs or users of the app then within six weeks I was
doing about a $1000 a day profit which was life-changing it
totally changed my idea of what's reality what's possible so I took the profits
from that and I went to London where STM was having a conference this is the
first time in my life I'd met people who are doing this professionally who were
doing affiliate marketing our performance media buying and it just
further blew my mind that these people were being really successful having
professional careers in this industry at the conference I met an offer that was
really a the guy was really nice he owned the product he wanted to sell it I
kind of pretended to be a little more experienced than I was and he said okay
you can help me promote this product is it great I also found the traffic source
there they were trying to sell traffic these were pop up ads and essentially I
had know fucking idea what I was doing and I came back to Vietnam and I just stuck
the two together and the first day I made 400 dollars and I was like holy shit
this is this is amazing and essentially I just ran that I ran at so hard for
about two years and I just expanded and expanded it and I literally made
millions from that is the best day I ever had was $37,000 revenue and ten
thousand dollars profit one day and that was when I was working almost no I was
working barely anything at all maybe one hour a day tops because it was kind of I
I figured out the system now it's not easy there's a lot of failures which I'm
not talking about right now there's a lot of failures that happen along the
way a lot of things that try that didn't work but but some successes enough
success that it totally changed my life so I just want to let show people what
is possible in reality what how you can go from literally nothing really having
nothing to completely changing your life and and this my story is kind of all
about money because it had that it's bit of a component but it doesn't have to
that you can find something that you really
passionate about it interested in and focus on that and make it happen through
connecting with people over the internet educating yourself and really trying to
find out what what it is you you want and what it is you can do so thank you
for listening that's my story if you want to anymore I'm going to have a link
to a webinar when I talk more about my my method for making money on the
internet and kind of out more about my story in detail so you can sign up for
that but otherwise I hope you enjoyed the following interviews where you can
hear from other people's stories they're totally different from mine but how they
they kind of went from from nothing to something and totally creating an
interesting interesting life for themselves just purely with their
imagination and the willpower so thank you for listening
