How did Sam get started?
I spent some time piecing together Sam’s backstory and posted all the details here.
In short, Sam’s first success as an entrepreneur was two-fold: he started a digital marketing consulting agency while also building a cloud service business called SnapInspect.
He started both businesses while still in his early 20’s and within two years they were apparently generating about $35,000 each in monthly revenue.
Sam later sold SnapInspect to focus on his consulting business.
He then evolved the consulting biz along these lines…
Starting out in the “done-for-you” stage, Sam notes that he used contractors rather than doing the work himself…

Per my research, Sam’s first consulting client was a window tinting business in New Zealand, paying him $1000 for website improvements.
Beyond that, my best guess is that Sam made pretty good money consulting for local businesses in New Zealand – probably in the range of $10-15k per month total – starting in 2012.
Then, by early 2013, he was already coaching others to do the same.
