LEARN HOW TO MONETISE YOUR EXISTING SKILLS, CREATE A $10,000-15,000/MONTH INCOME, FREE UP YOUR TIME AND WORK FROM ANYWHERE!
Introducing, How to Become a “Virtual Consultant”
virtual consultant (noun)
- Someone who makes money by selling their expertise through 1-on-1 consulting via the internet.
- An individual who is time, location and financially independent.
synonyms: online expert, internet coach, freelancer.
e.g. graphic designer, language coach, software trainer, digital marketer, personal trainer, social media guru, nutrition expert.
In this program, I’ll share the exact scripts, tools, systems and processes that I’ve used over the last 12 months to replace my full-time income and quit my job.
You’re going to learn:
- How to find (and test) an idea. This is often the hardest part for beginners. I’ll help you to choose which idea to focus on so you don’t waste time on the wrong thing (like I did).
- You’ll learn how to market yourself and find clients. Including how to set up an automated system for generating leads (instead of sending out hundreds of “cold emails” and getting no responses).
- You’ll learn how to sign up clients worth $500-$5,000 with ease by pricing your service correctly and sending out high-converting proposals (I’ll share my exact proposal template structure and examples so you can rewrite it for your business).
- You’ll learn how to generate a sustainable $1-5k side-income working 15-20 hours per week so you can eventually go full-time on your businessÂ
- And finally, you’ll learn how to automate and streamline your business so you can increase your effective hourly rate and free up your time.
Does this sound like you?
If you’d like to start or grow your existing side-business so you can replace your income and go full-time. If you want to be your own boss, work when and where you want and free up your time. And if you want to create a system for generating leads so that clients come to you, then boy do I have the solution for you…
My side-hustle success story (and lessons learned): from full-time job to traveling indie-entrepreneur earning 2X as much in 1/2 the time
Over the course of this journey, I’ve learned to take a “low-volume, high-value” approach to working with clients:
- Finding the right idea is key! And it’s far better to specialise than trying to appeal to everyone. I only found success with consulting after I specialised in a specific skill that I already possessed. When you focus on specifics, you can position yourself as a specialist (remove the competition), charge higher prices and close deals faster. I’ll help you to find and test your ideas so you can focus on the skills and customers that are right for you!
- If you have an existing skill there’s probably someone who would be willing to pay to learn what you already know. Even if what you know is quite simple, don’t worry. I still remind myself that what’s simple for me is a challenge for others. I’ll reveal how to generate ideas and more importantly, how to test them so you can identify consulting opportunities.
- You DON’T need to have an email list or even a blog to make money online. Fact! Yes, having a blog is nice and email lists are essential for selling digital products, but aren’t “required” when you’re just trying to make a few thousand dollars per month from consulting. Remember, the goal is to replace your full-time income without having to spend years building an audience.
- Charging a “fixed-price” is better for you and more importantly, better for your clients (and better than charging by the hour, which isn’t scalable and produces lower quality results). Client’s don’t care about your time, they care about outcomes (not to mention, collecting payment after the work is done can be a real hassle).
- To sign up a consulting client, you DON’T need to spend a lot of time “nurturing” and “selling” to the prospect. The truth is that high-paying client’s value their time and want you to deliver results, fast! I’ll show you how to write highly appealing proposals and exactly how I’ve closed sales from $500 – $4,000 in as little as one Skype call and a few emails in just a few days.
When I started “virtual consulting” I earned over $1,200 in my first month and was confident enough to leave my full-time job after about 3-5 months.
Before I left my job, I worked about 60 hours per week between work and on the side-business. Since quitting in December 2016, I now work on average 20-25 hours per week (I know this because I track my time like a super-geek) and my consulting income has continued to grow even while traveling South East Asia with my wife. Don’t believe me, here are the actual sales from my Pipedrive account…
Who am I and what the heck do I know?
My name is Paul Minors. I’m a productivity blogger and consultant. I’ve spent the last few years building my business and trying a bunch of different ways of making money online. I’ve learned a lot about what works and what doesn’t. In the beginning I spent a lot of time building an audience and creating products. If I could give my younger self one piece of advice it would be to start consulting much sooner as it’s a much quicker way to make money online without having to build an audience first. Now that I’ve gone full-time on my business I’ve been able to further grow my consulting income and even have more time to focus on other projects and products (like this one).

Asana “Project Roadmap”
This project will guide you through the main content, training videos and action steps you need to take to set up your consulting system and generate a side-income. Each task is a step to complete (e.g. “write proposal” or “watch XY video”) and will contain instructions on how to use templates, links to resources and other attachments.
19 Training Videos (& Evernote slides)
Videos are used to deliver the actual lessons. I use a combination of presentations and screencasts to show you behind the scenes and to help set up your “consulting system”. The training is divided into four modules; Foundation, Getting Clients, Closing the Sale and Optimise Your Time (refer to the “What are you going to learn?” section below for details). Each lesson comes in video (mov), audio (mp3) and Evernote notes. Total video time is 5 hours 57 minutes.
Google Adwords Keyword Planner
We’ll explore how to use tools like Google Adwords to generate leads for your business.

You don’t need to have any prior knowledge of Google Adwords. The keyword planner will take care of the advertising set up for you.
Landing Page Template
I’ll share the landing page layout and sales copy template I use to get prospects to book a call with me. You can quickly set this up this on your site by installing the OptimizePress page builder plugin and importing my template (or if you don’t want to use OptimizePress you can just use the sales copy and choose your own page builder).
Proposal Template (and Example)
I’ll share the actual proposal documents I use to outline my consulting options and pricing with clients.
Email templates
I’ll share the exact email templates I use when sending proposal to clients. I even include the TextExpander templates so you can send emails in a flash!
