Speaker 1 (00:01):
All the Self Elevating Podcast with your host Moivator and
artist Jeffica just Cash Parker. The game true elevation starts
with ourselves and by learning shit our minds. As you
hire vibrasions, we can truly change our lives. Your only
limit is you. Hey, y'all, Hey, welcome back to another
(00:25):
episode of Self Elevated, the space where we upgrade your mind, body, spirit, business,
and then bank accounts. I'm your host, Miss Jess, and
today we're going to be breaking down my personal list
of the top ten platforms to make money online in
twenty twenty five. Okay, So no fluff, no corporate bullshit,
(00:46):
just genuine game that I either use myself or coach
others to win with. All right. So, whether you're a
service provider, a content creator, a digital hustler, or maybe
still just figuring it out, I got a platform for
you today, all right. So grab your journal, your ice, macha,
(01:07):
you're bleazy or whatever keeps you going, all right, and
let's get into it. So your platform is the plug, okay,
and I don't care what anybody says, because look, you
need a platform, all right. Multiple streams don't create themselves,
you guys, You can have the dopest energy, but if
(01:27):
people can't pay you somewhere, then you're listen, you're leaving
money sitting there like come get me, okay, And we're
not in the business to leave the money on the
table around here, okay. And look, I get it, okay,
because there are million in one sites, apps and different
(01:48):
tech options out there, all right, And that's why I'm
gonna be keeping this list simple and based on what
has actually been working in twenty twenty five for me
and for other creators like me. All right. So even
if you're starting with zero audience or crack iPhone, let's go,
(02:08):
all right. So the top ten platforms to get in
the bag in twenty twenty five. First and foremost that
number one bay Facebook. Yes, Facebook is still that girl, okay.
Whether it's your business page, reels, groups, or even your
personal page. If you post with intention and you engage right,
(02:31):
then you can monetize through everything from affiliate links, digital products,
personal branding, and even that good old Facebook content creator
monetization check. Okay. Facebook is forever changing their monetization programs
and how they work. So tap in on your Facebook
(02:53):
professional dashboard and learn more there, Okay. But that's not
the only way to get paid on Facebook. In fact,
that is not the most profitable way to make money
on Facebook. Okay, that's just the start of it. So
once you have a good page and you know you
have people engaging, the point is to have something to
(03:16):
sell them, right, and offer a service a product. Okay.
Now that brings me to number two, which is TikTok okay,
because viral reach plus visibility is going to equal your
new buyers. And if you're posting daily on TikTok or
even better, going live daily, then that means new potential
(03:38):
buyers that you can drive into your offers every single day,
all right. So combine that with creator monetization tools that
they offer, and you know you can pin offer funnels
and pin product posts, right, and you've basically got passive
and active income potential, all right. So post consistently and
(04:00):
make sure you're using trending hooks, okay. And if you
don't know what trending hooks are, simply jump on Google
and say give me some example of trending hooks and
start there. Okay. Number three, Instagram still a very powerful
tool for brand deals, affiliate marketing, and just showcasing your
(04:25):
overall vibe. Right, so add a beacons or a stand
store link in your bio and you're gonna turn your
esthetic into actual sales. Okay, that is the point here, right,
We want to have something to drive people to, which
brings me to number four, which is beacons AI. Okay.
It's a link in bio hub similar to link tree
(04:48):
because that is the more well known platform, but it's
way better. Okay. You have way more options and things
you can do, including design features and things like that
to really like elevate your linkin bio and have it
fully organized and just really representing your brand. Right. You
(05:11):
can sell digital products, you can offer services, you can
collect emails, you can take tips, and so much more. Okay.
Beacons Ai is great for creators who want a lightweight,
hustle ready landing page. And by the way, you can
get twenty dollars towards beacons ai pro when you sign
up two beacons through my Beacons all right, and mine
(05:36):
is beacons AI forward slash miss just CEO, so make
sure you go check that out, all right. Number five
is a stand store okay, so think Shopify, but for
digital bosses. Okay. You can upload ebooks, mini courses, consultation,
coaching calls, really whatever you got, and it'll collect payments,
(05:59):
deliver files, and even send out emails all from your
bio link. All right now, mind you, Beacons AI actually
is doing a lot of upgrading, so to go back
to number four real quick. Beacons AI can also have
the capability to do all the things that a stand
store can do. Okay. Beacons has a forever free option
(06:24):
and stand store you only get a fourteen day free trial,
but most people are seeing earnings being made within that
first fourteen days, therefore justifying paying stand store their monthly
fee to stay with that platform. But again you do
not have to use that. You can go with a
forever free option with Beacons okay. So Beacons was four
(06:49):
number five with stand store number six. Okay. Shopify or
wigs all right, So for those that are ready to scale,
Shopify is go to equal your e commerce beast all
right or wis basically is great for creatives, service providers
and DIY business owners who want full website control. Okay,
(07:13):
So you can use it for everything for merch to services,
to different brand stores to you know, product offers. Sky's
limit okay, and this gives you full brand control with design,
with layout, with how many pages, and just pretty much
(07:35):
sky is limit with WIS. I personally use WIS over Shopify,
but I've been using it for years, so I'm really
just more biased to it than Shopify. But you can
go with either. They're both really great platforms and will
give you full control over your brand. Okay. Number seven five,
(07:59):
If you have a skill, I'm gonna need you to
sell it, okay, period. So if you don't already have
a fiver account, then I'm gonna need you to set
up set one up, okay, and go create a simple
gig for writing, editing, social media help, CANVA, designs, UGC videos,
(08:21):
whatever you're good at. Okay, go make up an ad
for it on fiver and people will pay for it.
All right, that's simple, all right. Number eight Etsy. I
know everybody has heard of Etsy, whether you've used it
yourself before, or you've bought something from there before, or
(08:43):
if you just have stuff sitting in your car from
two years ago. Okay, I'm sure you know what Etsy is.
But it's perfect for digital downloads, printable items, planners, templates,
and any handmade goods. Okay. So if you have even
a sprinkle creativity, you can get paid on Etsy, all right,
(09:03):
so don't sleep on it. Number nine eBay, all right,
so go clean out your house, okay, flip some fines
or sell some vintage goods. All right. This is a
side hustle gold mine that still pops in twenty twenty five.
All right. You just got to take the time to
learn the game, all right. And last, but definitely not least,
(09:28):
number ten, which is affiliate programs. Now, there are hundreds,
if not thousands, of affiliate programs out there for everything
from products to services to softwares and platforms and programs. Right.
(09:50):
If there's something you use, anything that you use, there's
probably an affiliate resource for that tool, item, or service.
Right And listen, you already tell people what tools you love, right,
so you might as well get paid for them, all right.
So sign up for affiliate programs for your favorite apps, tools,
(10:15):
software brands, courses, and really just start dropping those links
in your content, okay, because no matter your vibe, there's
a platform with your name on it. And if you're intentional,
any of these platforms can be your first or even
your next stream of income. Okay, and maybe even eventually, someday,
(10:36):
one day, they can all be a stream of income
for you, all right. Just don't overwhelm yourself and try
to do everything at once, all right, focus on one
or two platforms at a time and run it up,
all right. So how to choose your starter stack? Okay?
Because listen, not every platform is gonna be for everyone, because,
(10:57):
like I said, you really only need one or two
to start making some money. So ask yourself these questions.
Do I want passive or active income? Do I like
creating content? Or do I prefer to be behind the scenes?
And ask yourself do I want to sell my brain,
my vibe, my skills, or maybe just my stuff? You know,
(11:22):
So start with what is gonna feel easiest for you
and stay consistent with all right, and then from there
you build outwardly. All right. So listen, I hope that
list gave y'all some ideas. And next we're gonna jump
right into our journal prompts for the week. Okay, So
make sure you're writing these down and you answer them
(11:44):
honestly and truthfully, all right. Question one, which platform or
platforms from this list feel most natural for me? Right now?
Number two, what offer product or service could I connect
(12:04):
to that platform? And question three, what is one move
I can make this week to get started? All right?
And whatever that answer is, get to it. Okay. So last,
(12:25):
but definitely not least, Let's get into our affirmations of
the week. Okay. I only have four for you this week,
so rotate them as you see fit. Just make sure,
as always you say them three times each time and
three different times a day. All right, and right now
we're gonna say them twice. I'm gonna say them first,
(12:45):
and then you're gonna repeat it after me. Okay. I
attract aligned buyers on the right platforms. My energy inverts
because I move with purpose. I make money online with ease, creativity,
(13:12):
and strategy. Every post product and offer is a portal
to my abundance. And so it is, y'all. Listen, if
you're ready to start making real money online and not
(13:33):
just dreaming about it, I want you to screenshot this
episode from wherever you're listening to, and I need you
to tag me at miss just CEO or at jamp
Empires and tell me which platform you're gonna claim first.
All right, and listen if you need help building your
first product or stacking your platform up properly or creating
(13:56):
your beacons page and you want it. You know you're
not really designed savvy or tech savvy and you need
some help, then hit me up on jnpmpires dot com. Okay,
and let's see how I can help you achieve your goals. Okay. Now,
next week we're gonna be talking about how to attract
(14:18):
coaching clients, brand deals, and consultations without ads. Okay, because
this is how I've helped people turn zero audience into
book calendars just by showing up the right way, all right,
Because ads are great, and yes, we want to make
sure we're able to get to running ads as soon
(14:38):
as we can afford to, but listen, we might not
be able to start there, okay, and you don't need
paid ads to be profitable. Like I said, you just
got to show up the right way. And next week
that's what we're getting into. So make sure you come
back to tune in and don't miss it, and don't
forget too. These episodes are downloadable so you can always
(14:59):
come back and listen more later. But until next time,
pick your platform post with purpose, and remember your only
