What's the best way to generate a 6 figure income online in 2025?
If you look on social media you'll see a bunch of gurus telling you its personal branding.
"Build your brand and clients will come to you"
"Your social media is your new CV"
"Build a big following and you'll stand out in your niche"
Do any of these sound familiar?
It's got to the point where everyone and their mum is building a personal brand.
But here's the catch.
Nobody cares who you are until you actually achieve something.
There's no point in building a personal brand if you haven't actually got anything to share.
And while you can "build in public" 95% of the people doing this experience a failure and quit because they've spread themselves too thin.
So what should you do instead?
Build a high income skill (copywriting, SEO, design, funnel building, email list management) and start reaching out to potential clients.
Is it glamorous?
No.
Will you experience a lot of failure?
Yes.
But unlike likes and followers paying clients actually pay the bills.
While scaling your outreach and building a cash flow business you can post about your experience.
Now, you're likely thinking:
"What's the difference between this and building in public?"
Most people building in public do things with the intention of sharing them on socials.
You want to complete tasks that scale your income and just share things as they come to you.
No scheduled posts.
No aiming to go viral.
No commenting 100's of times a day.
Just your experiences as you experience them.
As you build your skills and generate an income, chances are your following will increase too.
And if it doesn't you now have:
> Skin in the game
> Personal experiences to share
> Experience working with real clients
Which already puts you ahead of most content creators.
Stop chasing the likes, followers and social dopamine.
Start building a high-income skill that puts money in your pocket.
Have a great week,
