Here's some behind the scenes footage of Neil Patel teaching you that, if you have a passion, you can make money.
You can always make money. You can turn your passion into profit.
Look at those paintings by Picasso.
Yes, for most people their passion will not make them money because they're just like, "Oh, I'm going to get a college degree in painting, and then I'm going to be a painter, and I don't know how to make money."
If you take the conventional route, everyone else takes, you probably won't make money because you have to compete with tons of other people.
I can say the same thing about being a lawyer.
A lot of people tell me that it's hard to find a job when you graduate from law school because there are too many lawyers out there.
Take the conventional route, and you won't do well.
My friend Sasha, she had the same problem.
She went around with the mindset, "I graduated from law school. No one's going to give me a job. After a year no one gave me a job. I can't make money. This career is useless."
And then I suggested she go to networking events, go out there, talk to people who need help with their legal advice, and do it for pennies on the dollar.
She started to do that, and her mindset flipped. It became, "Wow, I'm starting to make money. Now clients are sending me more customers. I can charge a bit more."
Within two years, her yearly income increased to over six figures.
She had some expenses in there, but her profit was around $80,000.
It's not bad after a few years.
No law firm would hire her but yet she was still doing it on her own.
You can turn your passion into profit as an artist.
You can find out what's cool and hip out there.
You can see what's trending.
Why not paint that stuff?
Set up Facebook ads and sell your passion.
You have a credit card; Facebook ads are around $30.
There is no reason you can't make money as an artist. You just have to be creative.
If you take the traditional route with everything, you won't do well.
But if you're willing to put in some hard work and some creativity you can turn passion into profit.
There are most likely many people out there who would love to commission an artist for portraits or creative work, but they're too busy, or they think art is too expensive or the artist that they're a fan of is unreachable.
You can reach out to other, successful artists you know and make a deal with them.
Ask the artist for leads who can't afford the prices, charge them one-tenth and give the artist a 10% kickback for any leads they send your way.
It's free money for the artist, and they're not doing anything with those leads anyways.
Let the leads know that your quality won't be as good and that you're not associated with the artist, but you are affordable.
That's being creative. That's how to turn passion into profit.

Good stuff, if you get a little bit creative you can make money out of anything!

[@neilpatel]

Nicely stated Christian!

[@slouischarlesYT]

Experiment quickly and on the cheap (for the most part) until you find something that works.

[@neilpatel]

Very well stated Sherad!

Hey, Neil this hits me on and wanting you to answer a query. I have been mad about my passion for years still is and the scope is almost zero. what should I do to be creative to create a door for co-athletes and help build a community which revolutionise the niche like it is out there in the world ?? Help. Beacuse I been doing marketing,blogs and what not.

[@neilpatel]

Conducting some market research might help. Start out on social media, like Facebook or Instagram. Talk to people about the types of topics they're interested in and what they need to be more successful.

[@Ridebmxindia]

Neil Patel Thank you neil for your time that you have taken out to answer. I will definitely look out for right people to talk to and understand how can we bring success to them. Cheers!

[@realMartinHamilton]

Awesome Neil. I'm currently taking my knowledge about how to reverse type 2 diabetes and going to put into a monthly subscription for only$14.95/mo. Instead of selling a course for $197 I'm almost giving it away because most can reverse it in their first month if they have this industry guarded knowledge. I'm hoping they will stay 3 months at least just for the support and community interaction. Also I want to make it so even people on food stamps can afford it. Maybe I'm wrong but I'll soon findout. You really project the entrepreneurial spirit in a strong way! Love it!

[@neilpatel]

I think you should test this strategy and see if it works! I like that you're making it affordable and giving away your secrets up front. You might be surprised by how long people hang around because they won't all get success immediately . Good luck!

[@barbiefigueroa]

I am a member of a marketing group on FB.. and they charge members only $10 a month and their value far exceeds what they are charging... they have such a low barrier of entry and so much value.. people basically don’t cancel... they are up to about 700 members now... That’s a solid 7k a month! It seems counterintuitive to what most people teach but it’s definitely working!

[@realMartinHamilton]

Barbie Figueroa thanks for your input. When they get off medications and learn the root cause of their diabetes they are shocked. I'm teaching concepts they can use in other areas of their lives too. Ones only the super wealthy used to keep guarded. Ones taught by the Secret Societies. People on food stamps desperately need all this. It's something I'll be proud of the rest of my life.

[@mangoesnbreadfruit01]

Yes! 🙏🏽🙏🏽 Thanks Neil, very helpful info. Because I'd always struggled to sell my art from forever, not knowing what I know now. And this video helped me even more, pointing me in the right direction. One of my dreams has always been to make money from my art. But due to initially not knowing I needed sales and marketing skills to make money from my art, I didn't sell much at all. I'm an artist by nature (dance, painting/drawing, clothing design) and it's brutal having to work jobs you hate because you don't understand how to make money from what you love. Thanks for your videos! Keep adding value! 🙏🙏🙏🙏💪💪💪💪❤️❤️❤️

[@neilpatel]

I'm so glad this helped, Thirteen! I wish you the best of luck with your art. Creatives can absolutely make money -- it just takes a bit of industry knowledge to pull it off.

[@mangoesnbreadfruit01]

Neil Patel Thank you, Neil!! 🙏🙏😀😀 I will keep learning from your videos and tell u when I get a breakthrough!

[@Truth-Bomb-7]
