[Part 7] Whether it’s a side job or starting a business. The ‘two’ absolute methods to make money.

[Part 7] Whether it’s a side job or starting a business. The ‘two’ absolute methods to make money.

Hello. This is Kamiyama.

I don't like using the word 'can make money'.
The reason is, even if you prioritize a vision of making money, you won't make money.

It's simply easy to understand as copywriting.
It's searched quite often.

However, if you search for 'can earn' and then simply make 'can earn' your focus, you won't actually earn.
After all, you earn money by providing products and services that satisfy customers.

You absolutely cannot earn unless you put maximum effort into satisfying customers.
As long as they are the paying customer, that is absolutely true.
Even if you manage to earn money temporarily, you will face severe repercussions later.

For those who are not yet aware of this, please be sure to understand it.

Moreover, the side business/startup I am explaining is a method of creating from scratch.

Create a small business, make it a side job, or expand it.
Ultimately, you won't be able to make money from either a side job or starting a business unless you create it yourself.
It is,Previous PostsWe've talked many times, haven't we?

It is not possible to undertake work for other businesses, such as part-time jobs or piecework.
It just ends with you cheaply offering your valuable time to companies.
It ends up being used cheaply and not earning much.

While it might be possible to get some short-term hints, it's fundamentally impossible.

Furthermore, even if you search for profitable side jobs or businesses and blindly believe the information you get, you won't make money.
Most of the time, they are just using the word 'profitable' to trick people.

I use the word 'profitable' to convey that it's 'not profitable'.
To convey that there is no essence in the word 'profitable', I use the word 'profitable'.
Hopefully, I can reduce the number of people who are deceived by the word 'profitable'.

Making money is by your own power, not someone else's.
You yourself have no choice but to hone your skills.

Those who read my blog every time probably understand.
If you haven't read it yet, please do read it.
Therefore, please try to learn a proper method here.

Now, let's get to the main topic.

These two points this time are truly essential for creating a side job or business.
Please try to make it a habit.

What's important in creating a profitable system for a side job or business is to formulate a 'hypothesis', execute it, and then 'analyze the results'.

In the previous article,formulating a hypothesis and proceedingI explained the importance of.
However, formulating a hypothesis and proceeding in a side job or business is a prerequisite; what's important is what comes after.
How to analyze the results and incorporate them into the next hypothesis is crucial.

For example, let's say there was a campaign that assumed 'this would sell'.
After launching that campaign, if it didn't sell.
We must analyze why this campaign didn't sell.
And from the results of that analysis, we formulate a new hypothesis about what to do next.

This is the most essential thing for creating a profitable system in side businesses and entrepreneurship.

Even if you execute something, it's meaningless if you can't reflect the results in the next attempt.
That's why we consider why it didn't sell this time, or why it did sell.
Thoroughly identify the contributing factors and come up with clear answers.

That is the shortcut to creating a profitable system in side businesses and entrepreneurship.

However, people surprisingly neglect this analysis.
They proceed with a vague idea that 'it might be like this'.
They roughly think about the next action based on the current results in their head and proceed.
Without clearly revealing the analysis results that 'it might be like this'.

If there's 'laxity' in thoroughly analyzing the results of what was executed, people will make the same mistakes.
They might also repeat mistakes made previously.

This is because they haven't clearly analyzed what actions led to what phenomena.
In that case, the actions taken would be a waste.

Even though you've gotten closer to 'how to make money', it's back to square one.

Thoroughly analyze the results obtained from a single execution.
And not to repeat the same mistakes.
If it was a success, then properly incorporate the success factors into the next attempt.
Thoroughly verifying these effects is paramount in side jobs and entrepreneurship.

Transcribing analysis results and subsequent actions in 'writing'. A system for earning in side jobs and entrepreneurship is born from records.

However, how can one perform thorough analysis and reflect it in the next steps?
If you try to implement it deeply, there are many methods, such as creating graphs and meticulously recording numbers.

However, the problem is that the work becomes too extensive, making it difficult to continue.

Basically, for small-scale side jobs and entrepreneurship, you start alone.
If effort that greatly exceeds your limits is expended, you won't be able to do other tasks.
It's important to be able to repeat it as naturally as possible.

I tried many methods when doing side jobs and entrepreneurship.
Ultimately, the best balance was 'transcribing it into writing'.

Please prepare one notebook.
If you use an app, Evernote and Google Docs are also easy to use.
A smartphone's notepad is also fine.

I use Evernote and my smartphone's notepad differently.
When something suddenly comes to mind, I leave a note in my smartphone's notepad.
I transcribe analysis of results and hypotheses into Evernote.

In any case, it only becomes a record when you transcribe it, rather than just keeping it in your head.
It's impossible to record 100% of analyses and hypotheses just in your head, you know.
It might be possible if there's an incredible genius, though.

Anyway, it's important to transcribe and record it.
Please record everything you've thought about and executed in your side business or entrepreneurship.
By continuing to record, your own thoughts will also become organized.
While writing, your ideas may expand rapidly.

You must not underestimate the power of transcribing things into text.

Since I started transcribing into text, my situation has changed considerably.
On average, it became possible to create a profitable system for side businesses/entrepreneurship three times faster than before.
To that extent, transcribing into text refines one's situation and ideas.

Summary of Creating a Profitable System in Side Business/Entrepreneurship

Creating a profitable system in side business/entrepreneurship means executing and analyzing hypotheses, then utilizing them for the next step.
If you can perform that process as naturally as breathing, you will generate profit if you persevere for even one month.

All imaginable side businesses/entrepreneurship will become profitable by forming and analyzing hypotheses.
Accurately learning the flow of hypothesis testing leads to creating a profitable system.

That is possible even without thoroughly learning difficult numbers, data, or statistics.
Of course, if you learn, you will be able to build a profitable system even faster.
At first, it's fine to just record it in text.

What you initiated, your thoughts and ideas in side business/entrepreneurship.
As a result of execution, think about what exactly happened and utilize it for the next step.

By mastering this series of steps, you can smoothly advance your side business/entrepreneurship.
That is, in side business/entrepreneurship, to extend your own power and gain ability.

I want everyone who reads this blog to acquire real skills.
Not the 'used side' that rejoices at being given just a small opportunity by someone with real ability.
I want you to build a system where you can truly earn with your own power.

People who can truly earn money constantly form hypotheses, execute them, and keep testing every day.
As a result, they acquire the most efficient means for themselves to earn money.
The means of earning that capable people acquire is by no means a system that makes you earn.
They are hypothesizing and verifying how to earn from you.

There is no need to deliberately become the exploited side.
If you try to take it easy and jump at a system that seems to earn, you will instantly become the exploited side.
If you want to create a system that truly earns, you have no choice but to learn and acquire your own abilities.

Side jobs and entrepreneurship may seem difficult at first glance.
However, if you acquire your own abilities, it's a convenient skill that you can monetize anytime.
By all means, I encourage you all to form hypotheses, master analysis, and try to acquire abilities.
