How can you be broke when you can just do this? Okay, watch carefully. So, how can you be broke when you could just start an agency? Now, over 100 million people have watched my free training on this since 2016. Okay, 40,000 people have paid me to teach them how to do this.
There's just two kinds of agencies you want for coming up for 2025. There's two types you could build. You choose one. A marketing agency, you've heard of that before. But the second one is a support agency. Both of these will work well. Marketing still works, but you can't just do a generic one anymore.
How can people be broke when you could just do this? You build your own agency. You either do marketing or support. If you choose marketing, you've got two options that work really well right now. I would go to business owners and I'd say, "I'll do your email marketing for you." Okay? Not your Facebook ads. I'll do your email marketing only. Like, 20% of business owners have an email marketing newsletter they send to their people. They all know they need one because they're on every person in the world gets email marketing. So, the average business owner is 55 to 65 years old. They've got a lot of money, they don't have time. If you do the marketing for them, but specifically email marketing, and guess what? You can use AI to do most of the work for you.
Second thing you can do that I like is you pick a specific platform. So you do like LinkedIn marketing. LinkedIn has ads now. Nobody knows how to do them. If you know how to do them, which you can learn, I can train you very quickly, you'll be like one in a million.
Now, on the other side, this is interesting. A support agency. What's the concept here? Okay, not marketing, but you do virtual assistant agent. You have an agency that provides VAs, virtual assistance. So all you do is you become a middleman. You get a whole bunch of virtual assistants that work for you off in the Philippines. They work for you in Indonesia. They work for you in Brazil. They work for you from Serbia. And then you get American or European business owners who have plenty of money but not enough time. You become the middleman. You say, "Hey, I'll support you with virtual assistance. I get you virtual assistance to just help you with anything you need." Okay? And you take a middleman split. That's your money. You take a cut.
By the way, people have been middlemen. You know the biggest middleman of all is banks. Banks don't do anything. They store your money, but they don't even store it. It's not like they store gold. They don't store gold. It's all digital now. So what does a bank do? They're a middleman. You give them your money from your job. They lend it out to other people who use it to build a house. Both pay fees, and the middleman makes the most money.
So with your support agency, you can do virtual assistance. I like, or, you know, a really good one, do a viral video. I call this a VA, a viral video agency. Like, 90% of business owners realize if they could go viral on social media, they'd get free customers. But they don't know how to do it. They don't know how to edit. So same thing, you offer them support. "Hey, I got an agency." By the way, me, for my companies, I use a viral video agency out of Hyderabad, India. He's a viral video agency out of Indonesia. I use a viral video agency out of Eastern Europe. So I'm the actual target market. So I know this works.
How can you be broke when you can just start an agency? You know, I, it's like, not that hard. I can train somebody. I mean, you can just watch this video and know like 60% how to do it. There's some more advanced stuff I can show you. By the way, make a better marketer. Do we have a better marketer? Start a better marketer agent. A met better whiteboard marker agency. Who makes these? Must be from Temu or something like that, Shein.
Okay, so support. Offer people virtual assistance. Offer them editing. All you have to do again, you don't have to know how to edit. You don't have to be the virtual assistant. You just get three or four people on your payroll. You pay them. The business owner pays you more, or and you keep the difference. Everybody wins. The business owner is happy. The people you're paying in the Philippines are making way above average, and you keep the rest.
And by the way, this is a virtual business. Like, I'm the king of online businesses. I built my first online income stream in 2001. I've now done over a billion with my businesses online. So I can travel the world, have freedom. I'm a freedom guy. You know, know your why. Four forms of motivation. Number one, four forms of motivation. Material things. Some people are material-oriented. Some people are mating love motivated. Some people are movement, freedom motivated. Some people are mastery, status. I'm number three.
And so by building an agency, by the way, I have an agency too. Not only do I use agencies for my companies, but I have an agency that makes millions of dollars. So I'm not somebody teaching you this who has no experience. Like, I'm deep in the trenches. I've been doing this as long as anybody. In fact, most of the people teaching how to do an agency are my students of my agency program.
So I wanted to, I, I was teaching this for many years and, um, I kind of semi-retired and I'm back because more than ever, if you're watching this, inflation, expenses, savings, everybody's stressed right now. And I'm like, and I meet people. I, I have 7 million social media followers. And I look around, I'm like, "Why are you stressed when you can just do this?" If you're broke, do this. If you're broke, do this.
I've got the track record now. I've trained over 40,000 people. Have been through my paid certification, four-month program where I showed them. And the track record of people winning is crazy. I'll put this head-to-head with any online business training program ever produced. I'll go head-to-head. I launched a generation of entrepreneurs that are crushing it. Lots of people. I've been in my agency training. Logan Paul. People talk about Jake Paul, Logan Paul, the Tyson fight. It's like, I was just on Logan Paul's podcast. It's like, "Oh yeah, we were all in your program." You know, Iman Gadi. If you watch his origin story, it's like, "Oh yeah, I got into Iman's SMMA program."
So I just want to make a free video and be like, "Yo, why are you killing yourself out here?" By the way, I just showed you one, two, three, four ideas. There's really 10 good ones, but I don't want to overwhelm people because people go, "Oh, what do I do?" Just pick one. Flip a coin. Or whichever one interests you more. Do you like marketing more, or like being behind the scenes to support somebody? If you like to be behind the scenes, do the support one. If you're more like a numbers creative person, you like to get in there, then you do the marketing one. They all work. All four of these work.
I know because I pay an agency that does email marketing for me. I pay a guy to do LinkedIn marketing for me. I don't even keep. I have a big company and I outsource this stuff. Virtual assistant. I have one in Pakistan. 2016, I pay a Pakistani guy who manages, he has a virtual assistant agency. I pay him, and he pays everybody else that does that assists me. And viral video agencies. I told you, I got one out of Hyderabad, India, and I have one out of Indonesia. I use these all the time.
There's more. You can build a podcast agency. You can build a Snapchat ads agency. You can build a Pinterest agency. You can build an X Twitter agency. You can do a, by the way, that podcast agency is a really good idea. You can build an AI chatbot agency where you install chatbots. So it's like, why is everybody broke? I know why. People are too cynical. People are too skeptical. People are procrastinators. People are fearful. Only be afraid of one thing. That's living a shitty life. Do not be afraid of trying to build an agency and failing. I mean, I remember being broke. I was already failing.
You know, the good thing about, like, I've been at the top. I'm here in Beverly Hills. You know, I've lived in Beverly Hills, and I've lived, graduated high school in a mobile home in Clayton, North Carolina. I've been to both. I've been in a house that could blow away, a mobile home almost blew away in one of the hurricanes. And I've lived in this is a 25,000 square foot, 16 bath, 11 bedroom mansion in Beverly. I've done both. 2,500 square meters. I've done both. And I'm going to tell you this, the, if you're at the bottom and you're watching this and you're broke, there's good news. What do you have to be afraid of?
I bought my first course in 2001, Cory Rudnick, for, uh, $300. My last $300. I'm like, people like, "It's a scam." I'm like, "Well, I don't have that much to scam from." Like, why are you afraid? Being broke is actually the ultimate freedom to try something new because ain't nothing working for you now.
If you're more advanced watching this, building an agency to run your marketing. I was just on a phone with a guy who wanted to go on my private mentor program. He's doing $22 million a year in a furniture business. I'm like, "Well, why aren't you doing $222 million?" And he's like, "Well, I don't know how to do marketing." I'm like, "Yeah, build your own internal marketing agency."
So if you're watching this and you're broke, do this for other people. If you're watching this and you're rich, do this to get richer. You know, life don't have to be all complicated like people make it. It doesn't, it doesn't have to be like that. Everybody's making things too complicated. K.I.S.S. Keep it simple, stupid. Learn how to do it.
By the way, if you want me to teach you, I've taught the most people. I own the trademark SMMA in the US. I own the whole, I own the whole phrase. Um, text me or WhatsApp me. That's an actual phone that I keep with me. I keep two phones. Personal phone, and then I keep this phone that I check myself. So you can text me or WhatsApp me. We'll put the number below in the description. And they might pop it up here. Just send me a text. It's easier now. Send me a text with your situation and I'll, I'll point you to the right place. I got three assistants that I travel. I was just in Sweden. I live in Beverly Hills, my farm on the East Coast, and then in Europe. And I just be like, "Ah, help this person with that." We'll point you in the right direction. It's easier. I used to make people fill out a form. I'm like, "Now WhatsApp's good. I can, we can leave you voice memos. I'll send you a video demonstration." Just like, and when I've been trying to like sell everybody like, "We'll help." I, we help people out for free too. I get enough people that want to upgrade for my team to help them closer into the paid community that I give this stuff away free now, you know? So text. You can either text or WhatsApp, whichever one you want. Just say what your situation is and main thing you want to learn. I'll show you how to build an agency. It ain't that hard. Not everything has to be hard.
If I'll tell you this, if I would was starting over and I lost everything I had, the first thing I'd do is build a service-based business agency. I'd either offer rich people support or I'd offer rich people marketing. That's it. I would go deep down that rabbit hole. It's not hard to push my income. Almost, I, I never say the word overnight because there's no overnight wealth unless you win the lottery. My, my other house up in Hollywood Hills, my neighbor is the guy who won that $1 billion dollar after-tax payout. If you Google him. But like, that's not, that's not a sustainable, repeatable methodology. So I would just not overthink it, not get paralyzed. Make sure I put my fear in the right place. Fear of failure is not valid. Fear of living a shitty life is a valid fear.
Three most important decisions you'll ever make. Number one, who you have a child with or children with. Number two, the way you choose to make your money, your career. And number three, who you choose to listen to. Okay? I can show you market. I can show you agency. I'm, I'm the Godfather of this. So you can learn somebody else if you want. It's fine. I got plenty of lead. I got, I got to hire another 125 people to help manage all the incoming people. So if you want to do with me, that's great. If you want to go click around on YouTube, but I will tell you this, nobody has more experience, nobody's generated more revenue and teaching it than me. Most of people teaching agencies don't have an agency themselves. I have three agencies. Markers. I've got my own nine levers agency, and I've got a, uh, personal brand agency. So I'm doing this. I'm not just making my money by teaching you how to build an agency. I actually have one. So I can just show you what works.
I charge a million bucks. Business owners pay me a million. I charge between $250,000 and a million to do agency. So you won't be able to start out at that price point. No, you won't. You got to have, you know, you know, 5, 10 years under your belt. But you can start out at $1 to $10,000 a month. In fact, if you built a podcast support agency, those going rates like at least 10 G's a month. You get four customers making $40,000 US. And you can do this from India, from South America, from Eastern Europe, from Africa. Nobody really cares if you're good. It's all outsourced work anyway. They're already perceiving you as somebody who's not in their backyard.
I've never, I just asked myself. I was, I was in the shower like, "I got to record a video because it's like, why is everybody broke and stressed about money when anybody with an iPhone or an Android and an internet connection can do this?" You want me to help you right here? Text or WhatsApp. Just say, "All you got to do is be like, I saw this video. Here's my situation. Here's my country. Here's my experience." We'll point you to the exact right direction. My team will just be like, "Well, watch this video or do this or go into this system." We got a lot of different options. Okay?
This is the most important decision you'll ever make. Who you have kids with. I got another video on that, especially when y'all, when you make a little money, when your net worth passes 10 million or 50 million, there's a whole another mindset with who you have kids with. But that's for another video. Number two, how you choose to make your money. Number three, who you choose to listen to, especially about how you need advice. You know, Musk had the PayPal Mafia. He was one of 23 dudes who are geniuses working at PayPal. No wonder he became the richest man in the world. He had the smartest mastermind of people. He was listening to other people. Two of the guys he listened to ended up starting YouTube. One started LinkedIn. Uh, one of them started Yelp. Elon Musk wasn't just this solo genius. He was listening to other people. So listen, right?
Okay, send me a WhatsApp. I'll send you a PDF guide. I can give you, my team will. I got my three chief marketing officers that run my agencies. So they're with me right around the corner in the ballroom. This is a big house. I got enough, I can hold 150 people in my ballroom. So let's talk. WhatsApp me or text me. If you don't use WhatsApp, WhatsApp is better, but if you don't use WhatsApp, just send me a regular text. It's an iPhone that I have. So this is a real phone that I carry around whenever I travel. I was in Sweden. They're all looking through, "Why do you have phones? Why you have multiple phones?" Well, I keep, I don't give out my personal personal phone. That's for my family and friends. But this is a real phone that I'll look. Odds are, I'll see your message. So if you want to reach me, if you're advanced, you want to reach me, there's my number. WhatsApp me.
Whatever you do, whether you text me or WhatsApp me, most important thing, just do this.
