The Fastest Way to Start an Online Business That Actually Makes Money In 2026
Most “fastest way to start an online business” videos promise shortcuts, but they rarely show you a simple system that actually makes money. In this video, I break down the fastest way to start an online business using five simple pieces you can start building this week – even with a job, kids, and a tiny audience.
You’ll learn how to pick ONE real person with ONE painful problem, turn that into a tiny digital product you can create in a weekend, and price it in the $9–$37 range for quick, low-friction sales. Then I’ll show you how to stack recurring income or a high-ticket affiliate offer behind it, so one sale can unlock multiple streams of revenue instead of just a one-time payout.
We’ll also talk about choosing one main traffic source (YouTube or TikTok) so you’re not trying to be everywhere, and how to build a simple welcome email sequence that keeps selling for you while you’re at work, with your kids, or finally relaxing. Finally, I’ll challenge you to commit to a 90-day sprint, so this doesn’t become “just another side hustle experiment” you quit after two weeks.
If you’ve been stuck in research mode, burned out by trends, or frustrated that your content isn’t converting into buyers, this breakdown will feel like a deep breath. Watch to the end to see how all five pieces work together to build a platform-proof online business that you control.
