Day 27: Leads Are Growing, Sweepstakes Nerves, and My 21-Email Monster

March 13, 20264 min read

So today is Day 27 of my journey to $40,000 per month online, and honestly… some pretty exciting things are happening right now.

My email list has been growing faster than I expected lately, and there are only about two or three days left before my $1,000 sweepstakes ends.

Which means things are starting to get interesting.

But before we get into that, let’s talk numbers for a second.


Income Update

So far in March, my total income sitting in my bank account is still $1,810.05.

Nothing new has hit my bank account since my last update.

Is that terrible?

No.

Is it where I want it to be?

Also no.

The truth is, most of that money is still coming from my call center job.

And look… I’ll be honest.

I’ve never been a huge fan of traditional jobs.

But I also can’t deny something important about them:

Jobs are incredibly reliable.

Every couple weeks… money shows up.

No marketing required.

No algorithms.

No funnels.

No wondering if anyone will click anything.

Just… paycheck.

And when you’re building something online, that reliability can actually be really helpful while you’re figuring everything out.

But of course…

My goal is still the same:

Eventually replace that income entirely.

Preferably sooner rather than later.


My Email List Is Growing

Now for the exciting part.

My email list is now sitting at 242 leads.

That’s 23 new leads since my last update.

Which might not sound like a lot to some people…

But to me?

That’s 23 real human beings who are now following my journey.

And that’s honestly pretty cool.

A lot of these new leads actually came from the $1,000 sweepstakes I’m running right now.

If you haven’t entered yet and want a chance to win, you can check it out here:

The winner will be chosen randomly, so technically anyone who enters has a shot.

But fair warning…

There are only about two days left before it ends, so if you want in, you might want to do that sooner rather than later.


The 21-Email Nurture Sequence

Yesterday I worked on something that honestly took way longer than I expected.

I built a 21-email nurture sequence for brand new leads.

Twenty one emails.

Yeah.

It’s kind of a monster.

The idea behind it is simple:

Most people who join my list have never made money online before.

They’re skeptical.

Confused.

Probably overwhelmed.

So this sequence is designed to take someone who is completely cold and slowly warm them up over time.

By the time they finish those emails, my goal is for them to:

• Understand how making money online actually works
• Know my story and who I am
• Feel comfortable enough to trust my recommendations

And eventually…

Be ready to purchase programs that can genuinely help them.

Now here’s the funny part.

Since I’m still fairly new to email marketing, I actually got a lot of help building this sequence with ChatGPT.

What I basically did was dump my entire life story into it.

My story about:

• Ending up in the emergency room
• Working a ton of different jobs
• Eventually landing at the call center
• Feeling stuck and wanting something better

Then I told it my goals for the sequence.

The result?

Honestly…

The emails turned out pretty entertaining.

I caught myself thinking:

“If I was brand new to all this… I’d probably look forward to reading these.”

But then again…

Maybe I’m a little biased.

Considering they’re about my life.


My New Link-In-Bio Page

Today I also built something I probably should have made a long time ago.

A link-in-bio page for my main website.

You can check it out here:

👉 https://jacksdigitalventures.com/linkinbio

It basically acts like a hub for everything I’m doing online.

From there you can access:

• My free training
• My blog (which you’re reading right now)
• My YouTube channel
• My Facebook profile

I’m actually kind of beating myself up for not making one of these sooner.

But hey…

Better late than never.


Sweepstakes Nerves Are Starting

Since the sweepstakes is almost over, I’ve actually had several people messaging me saying they’re nervous about the results.

Which I find kind of funny.

Because the winner will be randomly selected.

Technically anyone who entered could win.

But apparently people are still stressing about it.

I guess that’s what happens when $1,000 is on the line.

So if you haven’t entered yet and want a shot at it, you can still jump in here before it ends:

Good luck to everyone who entered.

Seriously.

I’m rooting for whoever ends up winning.


Want To Start Your Own Journey?

If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you already know what I’m trying to do.

I’m documenting my journey as I work towards $40,000 per month online.

Not because I think everyone should chase that exact number…

But because I believe financial freedom is possible for ordinary people.

Not overnight.

Not magically.

But through learning real skills and taking action consistently.

So if you’re curious about how making money online actually works, I put together a free training that explains the system I’m using.

No pressure.

Just information.

And if you decide to follow along with my journey, I’d love to have you.
