Graham Cochrane is the author of a book called How to Get Paid for What You Know.
He’ll show you how to make your first $1,000 per month in passive income – and beyond – in just 30 minutes a day.
He’s got a proven, reliable and repeatable system anyone can follow.
I’m a minute into this dude’s spiel and I’m already over his condescending tone. The slow, stretched-out sentences? What does he think we are, kindergarteners huddled on the carpet during storytime?
Read on for Automatic Income Academy reviews.
Graham launched his first online business, Recording Revolution, back in 2009.
- Still going strong today.
- Has 50+ million views on YouTube.
- Featured on Yahoo, Business Insider, HuffPost, and GrowthLab.
- Makes more than $1 million a year – the money pelting down like heavy rain, no work needed.
How does this work?
Graham has three affordable, self-paced courses for sale on that site.
Traffic comes, consumes his free content, watches his video sales letters, and a certain number of people buy those courses every single day.
It all starts with original, remarkable content.
This could be blog posts, YouTube videos, podcasts, Facebook Reels, whatever.
Find a lane that suits you (and your niche) best.
Then just make the kinda content your target audience is looking for. Don’t overthink it.
But be consistent. Pick a publishing schedule and stick to it, like that suspicious stain on my old college roommate’s futon.
At the end of each piece of content, include a clear call-to-action.
“Enter your email to get a free case study,” for example.
Speaking of which, this is called a lead magnet. Which is exactly what it sounds like: something that attracts leads.
So, what will somebody get when they opt in? A free guide? Video training? Five-day challenge? Access to a private Facebook Group? How ’bout just some bomb-ass emails?
Whatever you feel like creating is fine.
Once it’s done, each page of your website should aim to collect as many emails as possible.
Don’t distract people with other options. Buttons and banners and “Follow me on IG” and “Read my about page” and whatnot.
If you give someone too many choices, they end up doing nothing, right?
Okay, cool. Now that you’re building your list, you need an email autoresponder.
Write out like a week’s worth of emails and use an email software to send those puppies out, automatically, to everyone that signs up.
Goes without saying but each email should be a treasure trove of value. You want ’em smiling like a kid in a candy store as they read it.
As you progress to those final few email follow-ups, you wanna transition to your offer. Something that would be a no-brainer for them to buy.
Which brings us to the final piece: your digital product.
This could be an online video course, an eBook, downloadable graphics, software, a membership site, anything.
So, what are you good at and passionate about?
And where does that intersect with what people are already spending money on?
Don’t assume. Do a little research. Make the right thing the very first time.
But that’s basically it.
Sure, there’s a million little steps and nuances in between, but those are the main components to your automated money machine. At least, the way Graham sees it.
Shockingly, he wasn’t as dreadful as I initially assumed.
I agree with most of what he said.
My one gripe – and it’s a considerable one – is his claim that you can accomplish all this with just 30 minutes of daily effort, six days a week.
I’m shooting Graham an angry glare because, wow, that’s a lie.
If you can look past it, the Automatic Income Academy course costs $497.
