I hope you got a lot out of this free series.

My goal was to cut the fluff and share reliable, tried-and-tested tips and strategies to help you start earning online as quickly as possible. Hopefully you’ve already taken action on what you’ve learned, and seen some encouraging results.

Working online the past several years has enabled me to travel the world, live where I want, be my own boss, and work on a flexible schedule. And there’s no reason why you can’t achieve the same kind of freedom through an online business of your own.

Could I get your review?

I put a lot into creating this series, so if you have a few minutes I’d love for you to leave a comment below telling me what you thought of the series and what you plan on doing next.

  2. Hi Niall,

    I have just finished this course and I must say it is a superb resource, the best I have seen. So many superb ideas and links to get started, it really has switched on the light for me as I was stumbling around in a darkened room. Thank you again. Emyr

  3. This was an eye-opening course for me, in that, it didn’t exactly share a wealth of information I couldn’t have found else where, but that, it had me ask myself the difficult questions and took a good long gander in the mirror. A lot of things that previously I thought were these massive external roadblocks, are actually self-inflicted. I’ve just got to get a lot smarter about my actions and choices.

    Thank you, Niall!

  10. Thanks Niall. These lessons have given me a very clear outline on what I need to do and how to get there.
    Now I’m going to learn all I can about my chosen interests, then I will begin my related courses.
    Is there a way we can talk privately, If so can you send it to my email.

    Thanks again. great course.

    • Hey Ken,

      Thanks for going through the full series. Lots of people drop off along the way, so kudos for sticking it out.

      I don’t offer any private coaching or calls if that’s what you mean by talking privately. Sorry!

  11. I stumbled upon eBiz Facts after looking into Wealthy Affiliate. I am trying to make money, and was about to start there. After reading Niall’s review, I thought better of it. Then I started reading a lot of his stuff – and now I feel a lot more confident in how I should go about this.
    There is still a lot more work that needs to be done, and a lot more research that needs to be done, but after reading these articles, I feel like I can tackle this. Thanks!

  12. Hey Niall!
    Thanks very much for your help!
    When using the private job market tactic, I’m still pretty confused about how to set up a landing page where potential clients can choose the package that is best suited to them for hiring my services (for example: maybe I offer 3 different packages for purchase).
    Also, how do I accept payment for the service? What is the cheapest way to do this? I imagine an etransfer to my bank account wouldn’t appeal to some people, so how do you do it? What are my options?

    thanks

    • Hey Arron,

      I’m not sure which method you’re referring to exactly. You don’t need a landing page for any of the methods I outline in this series. You can do landing pages and funnels later when you’re automating what’s working. But right now you just want to figure out what works so you should do it manually. That means exchanging emails with prospects or jumping on a call to figure out how you can work together. You should only be offering packages once you’ve worked with enough clients to understand what the packages should be.

      how do I accept payment for the service? What is the cheapest way to do this?

      PayPal or TransferWise is usually easiest. There are fees for both, but it’s worth it to make payment easy for clients. Later on you can set up credit card processing but I reckon that’s overkill at the beginning.

  13. Just a quick thank you Niall for a very informative and well put together series.
    At my age I have a lot of life and business skills but know very little about online earning.
    However after watching all the great content I’m going to make a success of what I have planned and this has helped me immensely.

  14. Hi Niall,
    First of all congratulations for this superb series. I found it very, very informative for first view. You could show us a lifestyle what possible to reach, the door is open for all of us no matter where we are, which situation we are standing. Important to be determinate. All lessons I learnt something and I need to see them again, and again to have more amd more informations. Honestly every chapter of your series are brainstorming, well built and also funny. Thanks my friend.

  15. The course was very clear and concise, this was money worth spending and it was free. I have started courses in web development through Udemy and have a long way to go as only starting out. Once I am comfortable (not perfect) with it, I will start applying for freelance jobs. My other option on the list was copywriting, but will focus on web development as I have more interest in that. Hope I am doing the right thing, but am going all in.

    • Glad you enjoyed the course, Romano.

      You plan sounds solid. I’m mostly self-taught as a web developer and what helped me a lot was building my own hobby website. It was about my favorite basketball team, and I learned a ton from it. So if there’s some hobby or interest you have that you could built a website about, that would probably help you learn much faster.

  16. The course was really really helpful! It´s funny and honest. Thanks a lot. I have already taken the first steps, thanks to you I have changed a little bit my priorities, the plan is to focus at the beginning on different things, and I am already making good progress. Wish you the best always!

  17. Great course! I watched all the videos in a short space of time. I like how you keep things simple. Your delivery is concise and done in plain language. Thanks for putting it together. I now feel empowered to give this a try in a smart and methodical way.

    Something I wish you could touch on a bit more would be how to successfully navigate maintaining your 9-to-5 while still learning/starting your online business. E.g. I really want to start an online business and have been thinking of it for some time now but am concerned that increasing my social media and internet presence in the pursuit of my online business could eventually put my steady 9-to-5 in jeopardy. I am not yet ready to leave my job at the present moment given my family commitments. My employer has the standard policies that in theory allow you do some private business activities of your own, provided you aren’t competing with them etc, etc. I do, however, wonder if my commitment to them might come into question if my internet presence becomes significant as I gain traction with the online business. I am generally not very busy on social media but maintain a LinkedIn and Facebook profile.

    I don’t want this to become an excuse but it is a genuine concern as someone looking to take that first plunge.

    • Hey Sim,

      I could only see this being an issue if the online business you want to build is dependent on having a strong social media presence. But only very specific types of businesses are dependent on that. If you want to do freelancing, there’s no real need to be active on social media, unless you’re trying to be a social media manager or something. A freelance copywriter friend of mine is practically invisible on social media and doesn’t have any website, but he regularly earns 6-figures a year.

      Figure out what kind of business you want to build and then focus on ways to build it without relying on social media.

  18. Well I got to the end and have to say it has been one of the most if not THE most informative, honest, fun and interesting courses I have watched since lockdown (and before).
    I now have the incentive to get things done and have thrown affiliate marketing out the window, told those guru’s to ******** and start from the begining of this course again but backwards.
    firstly free up time
    Then I can get on with choosing what freelance buisness I can start with and set my goal and work out how I get from start to goal.
    Thanks Niall, I really enjoyed this and watched it pretty much from start to finish in one hit, although I have to admit, I did have to sleep in the middle.
    Just to let you know. My comment on the last video didn’t show up so not sure if you got it. No problem if not.
    In the words of one of your other readers
    Ready …. steady ……. GO GO GO
    oh I have shared on facebook 🙂

  20. Wow…I really liked this series! Very well done Niall! 🙂
    It’s great content that offers so much helpful info for beginners and everyone at any stage in life! Plus a bit funny with all the inserts that made me laugh. I shared this on Twitter. Thank you, Niall!!

  21. Thank you so much for doing this online course as I needed this information to get my butt in gear and move forward. I have a Spanish final. I have an art project to complete. This has been my easiest semester in all my years of going back to school. (2012-2020) I got a certificate for completing the electricians course in our Junior College. Now I am doing the 4 year gig for my CPA. I want to be financially stable and not have to chase the money or job after graduation. I am 82 years young and will not take some young man or woman’s job if I am able to keep myself employed/have a business on line. That is truly rocking my boat. Thanks for your fun inserts and your travel logs of where you have been living. Very exciting.

  23. This is not a free course. It is costing me plenty. Now I am rearranging my time, taking stock of all my actions, and working to change my outlook on doing business online. The price is steep and well worth it. I’m very fortunate to find this course and your blunt, energetic, quite frankly fun teaching.
    Thank you Niall.

  24. I read the whole course like in 2 days and I got a lot of ideas. I’m gonna’ share some of them; earlier this day I was thinking of cleaning out my closet and to donate the clothes that I don’t use anymore but then realize that there’s a lot of opportunities going online on that simple home duty. And then I created my profile on Upwork and realize that actually there’s a lot of projects on Data Science (my passion and speciality) and also I’m going to take a chance with the Billboard Method promoting R lessons to colleagues and students that are having trouble with subjects that involve statistics and programming.

    So, wish me luck, I hope to come back here with great great news.

    Thanks a lot, Niall

  25. it was a superb series. one thing I liked the most is your free and jolly nature which helped to understand the content quickly. the other thing is your traveling to a different place in each video. I love the freedom of money and time it has been on the top of my goal list from the last 5 years but I was not able to figure out why this was happening to me. but after watching this series I got a sense of clearance of what obstacle was really blocking my way and now I am going to work really well on that. thanks a lot, Niall bro. you are awesome. Thanks once again for such a great and free guidance.
    Peace.

  27. Thanks Niall,

    I’ve been following your videos for a while now and they have really lifted my spirits even in my 9 – 5 day job!

    Everything that comes out your mouth is incredibly inspiring. If I hadn’t thought about moving to Amsterdam and watching your video, I would have missed out on a world of opportunities.

    I’m currently stuck in my 9 – 5, but after reading your book I am confident that I would like to take the leap within the next few months.
    I’m an interior designer / 3D concept designer by trade, I’m hoping that this could be my way into the Freelance world. It would be great to also learn new skills and really put myself to the test and try new things as well.

    Thank you for all your time and effort in being completely transparent and sharing all your wise juicy goodness.

    P.s I never moved to Amsterdam but its still something I’d like to achieve.

    • Hey James,

      Thanks so much for the kind words, and I really appreciate you going through this whole course 🙂

      You’ve got a headstart with those design skills. Lots of design work available online, and I suspect there’s more and more these days in the interior design niche.

      Add some new, complementary skills to what you’ve got already and you’ll be off to the races. Generally speaking, you can earn more by combining a few skills, especially in unusual ways, so long as there’s a demand for those skills.

  28. The course was very insightful, you really showed that it is possible to get work online just by taking baby steps and putting in a slight bit of time management to upskill fast and efficiently and cut out unnecessary time consumption on leisure activities (I’m currently spending 2 hours a day on my phone/social media, that needs to go).

    Thank you for putting the time into making the small course.
