If I had to start over today with zero list, zero income, and no fancy tools, I wouldn’t try to do everything. That’s where most people get stuck. I’d keep it simple, focus on one path, and build something that actually grows over time.
Here’s exactly what I would do.
Step 1: Pick ONE Simple Business Model
I wouldn’t chase dropshipping, crypto, and YouTube all at once.
I’d choose affiliate marketing.
Why:
- No product creation
- No customer service
- Fast to start
- Proven path
Goal: Promote one solid program and learn how it works.
Step 2: Create a “Start Here” Page
Before anything else, I’d build one simple page.
This page would:
- Speak to beginners
- Explain the confusion
- Show a clear path
- Point to one main offer
This becomes the hub of everything.
(This is why a solid “Start Here” setup is so powerful.)
Step 3: Set Up a Basic Email List
No list = no long-term income.
I’d:
- Use something simple (like GetResponse or Systeme.io)
- Create one opt-in form
- Offer something basic (guide, tips, or just “learn how I’m doing this”)
Then write:
- 5–10 simple emails
- Share what I’m learning
- Build trust first
Step 4: Focus on Traffic (Daily)
This is where most people fail.
I would not overthink it. I’d pick 1–2 sources:
Option A: Free Traffic
- YouTube Shorts
- Simple blog posts
Option B: Paid Traffic
- Traffic exchanges (great for fast, consistent testing)
- Solo ads
And I’d be consistent:
- Daily posts
- Same message
- Same link
Step 5: Promote ONE Offer Only
This is huge.
I wouldn’t promote 10 programs.
I’d pick:
- One beginner-friendly offer
- One link
- One message
Everything points to:
👉 Start Here page → Email list → Offer
Step 6: Keep It Real (This Is Your Advantage)
I wouldn’t pretend to be a “guru.”
I’m going to keep doing exactly what I’ve been doing:
- Share wins
- Share mistakes
- Talk like a normal person
That builds trust faster than anything.
Step 7: Improve Weekly (Not Constantly Restart)
Instead of jumping programs, I’d ask:
- What emails got opens?
- What links got clicks?
- What traffic worked?
Then tweak ONE thing at a time.
Simple Game Plan (Daily)
If I had to boil it down:
- Send or write one email
- Post one piece of content
- Drive traffic to one page
- Promote one offer
That’s it.

Get My Simple 3-Step Beginner Plan
If you are tired of bouncing between ideas and just want one simple path to follow, this is for you.
I put together a simple beginner plan that shows the exact path I would follow if I had to start over today with zero list, zero income, and no fancy tools.
No fluff. No hype. Just a simple starting point you can actually use.
What You’ll Get
- The one business model I would start with first
- The simple funnel I would build before doing anything else
- What I would focus on daily so I don’t waste time
- The biggest beginner mistakes I would avoid
- The next step I would take after setting up the basics
Who This Is For
This is for you if:
- You feel overwhelmed by too many “make money online” options
- You want a simple beginner-friendly way to get started
- You do not want to create your own product right now
- You want a clear plan instead of more random advice
If that sounds like you, enter your email below and I’ll send it over.
I’ll also send a few follow-up emails showing how I’m setting this up, what’s working, and the main tool or program I recommend for beginners.
Why I Made This
Most beginners do not fail because they are lazy.
They fail because they get hit with too many options at once.
One person says start a blog. Another says do YouTube. Another says paid traffic. Another says build a course. Another says chase the next shiny thing.
That is exactly why I made this simple plan.
You do not need ten strategies right now. You need one clear direction and one next step.
