take a table to find a nice place for you to work

I believe you already have one but there are some other thing on your table which you don't even use and work remove all the distractions and keep it clean have a notebook and keep the plains and idea you have in your mind what work you can do and what work you can not do

Were your office uniform (formals)

yes you have to wear it because that would make you feel your working and not setting on the bed in your pajamas that would not bring creativity in you or mood to work in real you will feel lazy and you will see that you're actually keeping your mobile phone away from you if you're not calling anyone because that the biggest distraction don't watch some videos on youtube that distract you only use this time for your useful work after your time is up to watch a movie or entertain yourself otherwise work for yourself and aim to make money because you know what's important keep a motivation pic behind your computer screen and write why you started this wite it in your notepad stick it in the side of the table so when you feel demotivated you can see it every time you feel to relax or think of evening up

So without wasting your time lets get to write into it and begin your journey to bring some money in our bank account.

Wite a Date on the note and Within 30 days You should have earned at least 100 Doller in your back account if now Your not working Hard enough

Reading this book will take one day but It has taken a lot of failure and experience that is shared for you to get that dollar in your company

All The Best

2) Rebrand Yourself (Twitter)

Imagine you alone as a company owner or a founder and CEO of your own brand

That mindset I need in you to have to get your first day of starting it out in the digital world

First Step

Joining Twitter

Once you’re online, you need to start building followers.

1) Connect with people you know:

Twitter already does a good job of this by importing your email contacts, but search for anyone else you know, follow them and send them a quick personal tweet

2) Start tweeting:

You’ll want to get a few tweets on your timeline before you can expect people who don’t know you to follow you. Try to stay ‘on message’ - tweet about interesting articles you’ve read about the work you do or useful resources that you’ve found. Aim to tweet at least once a day

3) Follow others:

Search for people similar to yourself, ideally from the same geographical area, who post regularly and have less than 500 followers. Follow them and favorite a couple of their tweets. Reply to one of their tweets if you have something useful to add. You should find that over half follow you back.

4) Join the conversation:

Keep an eye on your Twitter feed and spend 5 minutes a day favoriting and replying to tweets. Be constructive, helpful, and positive, offering advice and encouragement.

Challenge: Get 50 Twitter Followers

This challenge is simple. Using the tips above, and try and get 50 Twitter followers in a week.

Other Branding Ideas:

Update your LinkedIn profile

Create Facebook Page Do the same by connecting yourself

Create an email signature

3) Using Freelance Websites

Below I have added many freelancer websites to show you how and what category you can use in order to get on the  internet

website like

1) http://www.fiverr.com/s2/243724edfb

2) https://www.freelancer.com/

3) https://www.freelance.com/

4) https://www.peopleperhour.com/

5) https://www.upwork.com/

6) https://www.guru.com/

7) https://gofreelance.com/

8) https://hired.com/x/1012bc5bdb0e966f10823711ab2407ae

A really useful comparison of these and other sites is available online at http://www.entrepreneur.com/article/245953, and there are a mighty 71 options for freelance work at https://www.freshbooks.com/blog/freelance-jobs/.

Create the account

Now its time to study the websites

Create an account in all the website but stick to one website and keep working on it the best way

Should You Use Fiverr?

Fiverr.com deserves a particular mention, as it can be an easy way to find a lot of quick and easy jobs. On the whole, I would only recommend using fiverr.com if you are having

Unlike those sites, there is little potential for getting larger jobs on Fiverr, which is ultimately what you want. Fiverr can be useful for practicing your skills and earning a little cash (and getting some good reviews to post on your website or Twitter feed)

Challenge: Create Your Profile

Once you’ve picked which site you want to work with, you need to sign up and create your profile. I’ve linked to a couple of guides in the bibliography of this chapter, but here are a few basic tips.

- Use your real identity

- Be honest

- Link to your Twitter feed

If the freelance site allows, put in a link to your Twitter feed - this will add authority to your profile and reassure prospective clients that you are a genuine

Complete the exams

Most freelance sites have ‘exams’ that you can take both in the language (English being the most useful) and various languages. They usually cost around $50 but are worth it to get you off the ground when you don’t have any reviews.

- Bidding For Gigs

- Keep your bid low

- Explain why your bid is low

- Don’t take on big jobs.

- Clarify the job.

- Agree on the payment structure

- Be wary of buyers with no reviews

People ask questions how can we do this and that

Best answer is

use Google and ask the same question on google

like

how to create Fiver account or how to create my first gig

Well you're in luck I have a perfect link for all of your question

4) Your Old Work files

Challenge 1: Your Portfolio

Now its time for you to create your own portfolio,

Need to have something the people are more interested to buy from you

the question is why will people buy from you

and you need to include things of what can you do,

the old project which you have worked on

try to keep that work online

how can you present the work online

there are multiple options to keep your work online

if your a writer make an article on medium,

You can make videos upload it on youtube

websites then post your website link,

photoshop, share it on https://dribbble.com/

still not then google drive can be used to share your project files to share

5) Portfolio from your friends or relatives

After you have your portfolio ready and you're there on the internet now

its time for you to work for someone

Who will be that someone

That's going to come from your phone contact list

Call people from your contact list, at least 20 people in a day or until someone doesn't give you work

I know people don't like you and don't believe in what skill you have but trust me

it will help you at some point in time for your business

there are people who know you in person will tell you what difficulty they have and you know of how can you help them

Help your contact list now you will say even if I help them they will not give me money don't worry

you're making the project that you can share with the future clients and guess what you promote there business and the people from your contact will use the word of mouth to there co-worker or some of they friends and then start charging from them

your contact list gave you the work you made them work for them and that became the portfolio for you

Did you see how the dot got connected for you to bring business,

Congratulation, You got work but wait you got the work from your contact list, not from there friends that soon will come

So start working for them

But did you realized I told you to share your work on day 3

that was done intentionally,

I can improve from my old mistake

the work you did from your company maybe there is some NDA sign from your company so you can not upload that but you can share what you have done for yourself and share it with your future clients.

6) Website Creation

Method 1

You need a website for your business

now creating websites has become easy in today's day

you can create a website from the freelance website

Method 2

watch some youtube video to create a website

Method 3

if you don't want to spend any money then you can create A blog website and add a photo and write about your business

Method 4

Have a Facebook Page that you can share and it's Free

Method 5

Create a Wix website

for 6 months it's free to have a Wix website and you don't need any skills to create its just drag and drop

7) Foundation

I hope you did not stop with your twitter work of writing post commenting to other people you need to be active in that area

Take a notebook to write down what you learned in this 7 days

you will say I have not earned a single Doller

so let's motivate you for today

your thinking about money but you know what's the problem I found in you

you are not concentrating on what steps I have told you

you have not to focus on your work

there are many people who have Done work but why will people buy from you

people trust if they see something visual and People will trust in you

We are making the foundation of our business because you created your digital product but if there is no review or some presentation you will not get sales easily

8) Learn Sales

Do you have the skills to sell

if you don't then it would be hard

if you're a girl you're in luck but if not then your wife can help you in that part, or your sister or your whole and sole

you have to be active on the call all the time

now having the skill to sell online is important

Some tips I can tell you in order to convince people to by from you

how can you do that

you might say by making the cost low

I would not go with that but I might tell you to give some more service for free don't go low but give them additional service

if you're keeping it low

just use the word like it is not so less priced but we are having 20 % discount and your in luck you got into contact with us in the right time this offer is only left for 2 days and within that time you contacted us to your number got shortlisted from our system

and guess what, you're likely to get the clients to respond as yes I want to buy it,

well I went to an interview a long time ago I did not have any idea of how to do the interview but I was selected

now how I got selected in the interview was, communication was able to tell the customer that you may think I don't need this product but you do you just don't realize but you didn't think to buy it,

just because you don't have it you don't know it's important and if you buy it you can be proud of showing it off

now your selling online so just say there is no expiry to the product your purchasing from us.

next thing you know you already have that customer

most important your first impression should be good and attractive,

if you got that right you are most probably going to get some recommendation from the person you're trying to sell

and once the person got too comfortable from you,

give him the idea that if you refer it to someone and someone buys from your reference we will give you 10 % of the money we earn from hum or just set a price we will give you 5 dollar if some from you come to me

I have you some of the tips but there are plenty of videos online you can learn from

there is a trend of asking in the interview that

sell me this pen and it depends on how to convince the 3 people to buy the pen

flirting with others or having a good relationship can also help trust me it works

9) Drive traffic (SEO) 

Drive Traffic

Showing You company from Facebook group,

sharing on Instagram finding your friends who are already famous tell them to share your link

keep it on status which comes for like 24 hours,

that is working in WhatsApp, Facebook Instagram

TikTok has become major in branding and driving traffic source

or you can get some tips from my Udemy free course,

https://www.udemy.com/course/seo-training-learn-search-engine-optimization/

learn some tips on how to do SEO and how to spread the word online, make yourself available on the internet as much as possible

10) Work on your craft (Your skill)

You need to improve your skill

as you have followed some of my steps you understood you're now spreading yourself everywhere

but something should not effect of why your working for if you can work then there is no way you can improve if people start making bad comments and have negative comments about you it would not help at all

work and update on your skill there is always update or alternative of thing which you're doing

you can make som work fast if you know how to work on the internet

by now your jack of all and master of none,

well it's fine as long as you can work for the client on everything possible from you you making money for yourself your in all the area if you start getting wor more and more that means your making more and more money if you're making more money that means you can hire an expert and keep that work in there hands and work in your craft

11) Copy Rights
Why you should look for copyrights

just using google images and using video will not help because there are many things required to learn

being online

and selling online

means not copying others, for example, you register for a company and found out there is another company already there with the same name that might give you the problem in the future,

but you need to use everything which should be unique if you know about it

search for some copyright-free images and Copywrite videos for your company also what you sell should be unique

that's should be kept in mind

trust me in start nobody will know everything you will make a lot of mistakes and from the mistake, we learn and next time we kept everything better than before

Have told many people they get scared but from a mistake, you will learn and improve so study about it

if you want to use images I can share you some of the image websites which is used by the huge tech industry

they use https://www.shutterstock.com/explore/royalty-free-images for the image but you don't have money to buy from so there is some alternative image website from which you can use from

and it's free some images might ask for the caption of there name who clicked the photo and then you can use it for free or there are still some websites that don't require the link

1) https://unsplash.com/images/stock/non-copyrighted

2) https://www.freeimages.com/

3) https://www.pexels.com/royalty-free-images/

4) https://pixabay.com/

12) Driving ideas from clients

Usually, you will get to understand what people are looking for and then note done what most people want and then work on that skill learn from what people actually demand

its is basically of how business work

if you solve the people problem that is going to give you more cash

by now you understand what people are demanding

now when it comes to digital work

there are many options (service you can offer)

so there are 3 major things

1) Skill

2) Experience

3) Interest

and connecting all this you will find your sweet sport

that's what your comfort sport

I gave Some of the ideas Now I agree you cannot do everything so what kind of demand people ask for that

work on that and learn about it or find some from your friends who can do the work and what you earn from it give them their commission so that how you help others to earn from you as well as you earn from yourself as well

Now If you say I don't have any friends who can do the same Task there are a lot of people online that can help you in these situations

You Can use Fiverr for the smaller task but use other sites to make big work so they can complete the task take some money in commissions rest pay to the person who does the work

So your Now a propr corporate level Person

13) Lead Generation

Now I think your available every area when it comes to digital and remembers you have to be active there each and every day

an by chance still you don't get clients or you're not getting any clients for your business you Ring each and every person you come across on the internet Facebook groups can help but have mentioned some of the ways where you can find people

Now open an excel sheet file

Spend a week writing the name business and contact

have a note on each and everyone calls them if they are not interested don't force them just tell them if you are playing in the future do remember are the name or can refer a friend show need our service if it's ok can we give our company details to your company

send them an email or SMS

that's boring work but that's the only way you can get the customer to interact with you or get work that can give you bread and butter and you're able to pay your bills

I have Given some Fine Example that might help you

From word of mouth,

Facebook ads,

Google ads,

Yellow Page,

Google Maps

or maybe there must be some websites that give details

like, for example, Some Call number for help

Don't know about each country there are different lead generations services in each and every country

so find about your country in India there is a service called Just Dail Pay them money and they will give you response now your sales skill matters

14) Having a boss attitude

Build a company in lockdown

This book was made because people have lost their jobs, and in the back of everyone's mind is they want to start a company but Never started any company

now if I tell you

that a man came to me and said I am great at dancing I would say show me some moves and he fails when told to dance,

the same thing happens with us as well,

it's just as if you watch some dance video watch some dance tutorial it will not help you if you don't practice

now comes the part where at some job they will say in which dance classes did you learn classes, or which certificate do you have any experience you have on stage, now you will say I know how to dance and now I will say in which category you will say all category the from that I can say you have no knowledge about dance because there are different type of dance,

there is salsa, hip hop, breakdance, Bollywood dance, folk dance, so on and on.

only in some area, you're better but not in everything,

so it the world where people will judge you in every step you take but as I gave you example get the job study the job and make it happen and that's where you will have a boss attitude

You study dance in your house, you study from an online tutorial, you practice in your house to prove you recorded the video, and then when you get the results you will get the feeling you can achieve anything in life.

and you will build a boss attitude in you but remember

Have a ground to earth attitude because that where you have a good relationship and there were people who will respect and deal with you in the first place.

Though my experience I have learned that boss does not work they know how the operation works and they hire others and then take care of the amount to get on that level first you have to reach that height so work accordingly now lets become the world-famous so people know you and you get the work automatically and you hire people to work for you and that's how you earn.

But be humble boss let me give you an example of the richest man in the world who started working in a room and became Worldwide famous.

Mark Zuckerberg sitting on the floor

Maybe around 10 years back or more

I saw a video of Mark Zuckerberg investigation

When Facebook was not that Big

But people started noticing him

And he was not so worldwide famous at that time

Someone saw him and started recording a video following him of what he would do

So

Mark went to a burger shop order a burger

Now after the order was delivered

There was no sitting table empty

Mark was with one of his friends

He looked around

Then

The strange thing was noticed but the person who recorded the video

Mark just set down on the floor

And started having lunch

Looking forward to that

We can realize that he was so humble and was so ground to earth that he Just sit on the floor

without thinking about what people will say.

And another picture came on the internet of Bill gates

Billionaires — they’re just like us! Bill Gates, 63, is spotted waiting in line to grab a burger, fries and a Coke at Dick’s drive-in in Seattle

And no bodyguard around

Bill Gates may be one of the richest men in the world, but he’ll have to wait in line for a burger just like the rest of us.

The burger-loving billionaire was spotted waiting in a line at Dick’s Drive-In in Seattle over the weekend, to the delight of fellow customers.

The American business magnate with a fortune of $95.5 billion was seen wearing a red sweater, gray pants, and black sneakers as he waited with his hands in his pockets for his burger order on Sunday.

The meal would have cost the billionaire just $7.68 thanks to the drive-in’s cheap prices where a deluxe burger costs $3.40, fries $1.90, and a large Coke $2.38.

2 great Human with such a humble Nature

And we have an attitude without achieving such great things in life

All the Best for your future.
