Nick Saraev Makes $335,000 PER MONTH on Skool (His Secret)

YOUTUBE 📚 THE READING LIFE 📚 PATREON

One of my biggest weak spots as a creator/business owner is that I tend to vastly underestimate the amount of money being made in the world.

Not just online, but since that’s where I spend a lot of my time (when my brain isn’t buried in a book), you’d think that I’d be much more keenly aware of the wealth and income-generation potential of the internet.

But sometimes I just…forget.

Every so often, though, someone will come along and completely threw off what I thought was possible. They also force me to think bigger, be much more aggressive about going after my income goals, and just generally call upon my best efforts in business.

Nick Saraev is one of those people, and even though he and I are in completely different niches (AI for him, books for me), I learned a ton from this hour-long video of his I just watched on YouTube.

If you’re anything like me, in that you tend to fall back into scarcity every now and then, you might find the video illuminating.

Briefly, I learned that the key driver of his success wasn’t anything that only he could do, or anything that takes a long time to learn.

Actually, it’s something that everyone can do: show up daily.

I’m very good at showing up daily for my audience online, I’m pretty good at showing up daily inside Creator Launch Academy (but I could be even better), and in terms of this newsletter…well, let’s not speak about that!

Room for improvement here for sure.

But really, all Nick said that he did was show up daily, answer questions, offer advice and encouragement…essentially just be there for his community.

Every single day. Without fail.

We’re talking hundreds of individual actions - none of them hard to do - but all adding up to a hyper-engaged community, a supremely valuable community, and a monthly income more than most people make in, like, five years.

Core Lesson: Show up daily. Do it for a long time. Be helpful. Make people feel seen, heard, and welcome. And keep doing that for far longer than most people would.

I’ve been kind of a ghost this past little bit, and I can’t say that I hit all (or even most) of my July goals, but again, it was one of those months: I made crazy money, got my backend systems organized like you wouldn’t believed, closed open loops and tied up loose ends, made big strides forward on some major projects…

It’s been a pretty damn solid month! All things considered.

I didn’t hit many of the goals I PLANNED on hitting, but a whole bunch of fantastic things happened that I wasn’t expecting. Not least of which signing with a few new sponsors and advertisers, and getting my other newsletter (The Reading Life) up near 8,000 subscribers.

Anyway, lots to do, lots to plan and prepare for, and I’ve got a decently big announcement coming up in about 5-6 days that is going to benefit you DIRECTLY.

And always remember: even if no one else believes in you…I do.

All the best,

Matt Karamazov
