Auto-generated from the video, lightly formatted. Expect a few typos.

Odds are AI is going to replace most of our jobs within the next few years. That's just the reality. But today, I'm going to show you the perfect [music] side hustle that is AI proof that you can start right now without quitting your job. That way, you're ready for when [music] the time comes. So, whether you hate your job and you just want to replace it, or you're actually worried about AI taking you over, then this video is for you because this stupid simple business model will pretty quickly replace your income anyway.

And the best part is, like I said, it's simple enough for you to start now without quitting your job because I know you need to put food on the table. So, I don't really have a plan for this video, but I'm just going to drive around and talk to [music] you about how to start this business and a little bit of my personal story and how you can make 5 to$10,000 per month within your first couple of months in starting this business. So, as long as you're making six figures or less, this will absolutely replace your income. All right, let's get driving and I'll tell you how I did it. So, I was a realtor and as most of you guys probably know, 2024 was a pretty bad time to be a realtor or a home seller in general.

So, I was struggling and winter came around when the market's even slower and I needed to find a way to make [music] an income fast. So, I started selling out 9x12 cards. More on that in a second. But within my first month, I made $5,000 in profit. I'm talking pure profit in my pocket.

And then in my second month, I literally made $10,000 in profit in my pocket at the end of that second month. [music] So, I had $15,000 in profit from those two months. I was absolutely shocked because I was struggling. I had like $1,000 to my name and I didn't know where that next dollar would come from. I was sincerely struggling.

And then I found this super simple business model that took very, very little setup. Zero startup costs whatsoever. Zero startup costs. Zero startup time really as long as you decide to keep it simple. As you can see based off my results, this business [music] has to do with a postcard.

And more on that in a second. But the reason I love this business is [music] because it's AI proof. And we all kind of have to worry about AI these days. [music] Some people are looking at it like, okay, I need to get involved with AI. I need to [music] start an AI business.

But not all of us are absolute geniuses. We're [music] not all software developers. Some of us have no idea how AI works whatsoever. Some of us don't even know how to talk to AI. Okay?

So that's unrealistic for many of us. If you're an idiot like me, then we need something simple that we can still use to survive through AI. So starting an AI business is not for us. Plus, that sounds stressful. [music] We don't want to have to constantly be like iterating on products and coding away in our basement trying to just stay ahead of all the other AI businesses [music] that are coming out.

We want to sneak around it. And then there's other side hustles like drop shipping and [music] home service businesses and all that. and that's all good, but those have startup costs and they're seasonal. And there's no saying that those will even work out either. So, the reason I love this business, it's AI proof, zero startup costs, and you can start making income right away with the zero startup costs.

That means you can start with $0 in your pocket like I basically did. Send a few [music] messages and you could make $1,000 within your first day in this business. In fact, I did. I made $1,500 [music] in sales my first day when I started this business. Okay, let me talk to you about what it is.

So, I call it the 9 by12 method [music] and it's a local business. So, all you're doing is connecting with local businesses, right? And what we're doing is we're getting these local businesses to join our large 9x12 postcard. This postcard [music] has a bunch of ad slots on it. As you can see, there's eight slots per side, 16 slots on a card.

Okay? And each slot is [music] represented by a local business. We already know that local businesses like the roofer in town, the realtor in town, they love spending money on mail marketing. Like obviously mail marketing works. That's the reason Anderson Windows [music] exists.

That's the reason everybody knows who they are. All we're doing is bringing a lowerc cost alternative to that [music] because our card is exclusive. So once a plumber joins, we don't allow any other plumbers. Once a realtor joins, we don't allow any realtors. So we're just bringing non-competing businesses together to split the cost of marketing.

See, you don't need to be a genius to do that. We're just reaching out to businesses, bringing them together. We're not being phony, like acting all smart and like we're doing [music] some crazy stuff. We're our value is just bringing businesses together. We're communicating with them.

We're pulling the money together and then we reach out to the printer when all is said and done and we make [music] the payment for the printing and the fulfillment and the shipping to mailboxes. And that's the value we provide. So, let me tell you the financials first of all, because [music] obviously that's what you guys are interested in. So, like I told you, I made $5,000 profit in my first month. And here's how I did it.

There's 16 slots on a card. I sell each ad slot [music] for $500. That's like peanuts to a local business, okay? When they're spending thousands of dollars per month in mail advertising, 500 bucks is like a no-brainer, [music] okay? And the promise is we're sending these cars to 5,000 households in their [music] town.

Okay? So, there's a lot of value we're providing in that. They're only paying basically 10 cents [music] per card. So, they're paying us 500 bucks. There's 16 slots.

That adds up to $8,000 in revenue. And then you're going to reach out to the printer once you have all the businesses together. The printer is [music] going to print and actually do the mailing for you, which we do that at 9x12method.com/print. [music] And that total cost for printing and fulfillment is going to cost you anywhere between three to $4,000.

[music] So that leaves you with around $5,000 in profit by the end of the month just by selling out one card. So like I told you, I made $10,000 profit in my second month. So as you can imagine, I just duplicated it and did two cards that month. [music] I did one card in my hometown and I did one card in the town next door. And here's how I, you know, convinced businesses to pay me $500.

I personally did it all with email and a little bit of Facebook. [music] Let me explain. I would go on Google and look up realtor in town, right? And then I'll go to Google Maps and I would go website to website and just [music] collect their contact information. I collected their website, their email, their phone number, okay?

And then what I would do is I would put that all into a spreadsheet [music] and then I'd go to my Gmail. I literally used a personal Gmail account, okay? Like I didn't make new business account or any fancy stuff [music] like that. Personal Gmail account. And I just started sending off a really simple script to these businesses.

[music] something like, "Hey, I'm putting together a large oversized 9x12 inch postcard. It's going to 5,000 doors in [music] town featuring respected local businesses. Is this something you'd be interested in?" And I [music] left it at that. That was my cold email script.

And I was getting responses, baby. And once they respond, usually what they say is like like every single time they respond, they say, "What's the price?" That's the next [music] question. It's like there's no other questions. What's the price?

And then I say something like, "Great [music] question." Well, typically to send this amount of mail, it would cost you thousands of dollars. But because you're splitting the cost with other non-competing businesses, it only costs about 10 cents per door or $500 for the whole mailing. And a lot of times it's a close right there. Not every time, but a lot of times.

And there's very few [music] other questions that they'll ask you. So that's how you get them to jump on board. Now, obviously they need an ad, right? They need an ad design. So a lot of them, probably about 50% of them, will prefer to just design the ad themselves and send it to you.

And it's just going to be a 4x3 in ad. That's the dimensions. They send you that ad file [music] and you put it on the Canva template for your postcard, wherever you're designing it, and there's that. And then some people will want you to design it for [music] them. And you can learn ad design if it's pretty basic, but you could also just hire somebody for like 25 bucks to design an ad.

You're making $500 for the ad slot. [music] You might as well just pay somebody 25 bucks, so you don't have to waste two hours designing the ad yourself. So, we offer that at 9x12method.com/design. [music] So, you don't even have to worry about that.

And remember, the first thing you need to worry about is just getting businesses to [music] say yes. Okay? The most successful people in business don't need to see the finish line. Okay? They don't need to see their whole way through.

They just know that the first step is getting people to say yes. So, if you want to be successful, jump in and do that. Okay? [music] So, now let's say you got all 16 ad slots sold. You have $8,000 in your pocket.

And you've still spent no money out of pocket. $8,000 in your pocket. Well, maybe you've spent a couple bucks on ad design, but you already had the money in your pocket. Okay? And now it's time to print and mail these cards to the 5,000 [music] houses like you promised to.

And you're probably wondering, well, how do I get 5,000 addresses? Like, how does that work? You don't. Here's the awesome part. You don't need any addresses at all.

We're going to use the Every Door Direct mail service that the US Postal Service already offers and most people don't know about. So, you go to eddddm.usps.com and it's going to show you a map and you just put in your zip code. you.

It shows you a map of the different mailing routes in your town. So, each mail truck goes [music] to a different route, right? And you just click on the routes that you want the cards to go to and the cars will get dropped off at every single [music] house on that route. Simple as that. So, that's all we do.

We choose the routes that it goes to. We choose routes that add up to about 5,000 doors. And then [music] we just send to the printer our printing order. We just send them the the postcard design file. We send them about $4,000.

And then we just tell them the routes we want it to go to and they take care of the rest [music] because the printer will ship it directly to the post office. So you don't even have to handle all of the cards. And then after that, the post office will distribute them usually the next day. So again, you had $8,000. [music] You just spent three or $4,000 for printing and distribution.

Now you just successfully sold out and fulfilled a 9x12 postcard [music] and made about $5,000 in profit. And the next month you just reach out to more businesses in a second [music] town and you do it all over again. And here's the best part. It gets easier every single month. [music] It gets quantitatively easier every single month.

And here's why. People don't [music] just send out mail once for advertising. The power in mail marketing comes over time. So, some of these advertisers are going to [music] choose to renew with you every single month. So, that means next month, you're going to have less ad slots that you need to sell out.

And that means [music] the month after that, you're going to have even more people sticking to it. So, you'll have even less ad slots that you need to sell out [music] that next month. Now, I'm not saying eventually it's going to be 100% passive and you're just going to have a full card for the rest of your life and [music] just collect $5,000 profit every month, but it gets easier. By the way, if this interests you at all and you're still watching, please just [music] hit the like button. It means a lot.

Now that you know the logistics of the business, let me tell you about the lifestyle. Because I didn't even tell you when I made those $5,000 in profit in my first month, I wasn't working full-time. I was still in real estate as well. Okay? I worked about one hour a day to sell out [music] that first card in one month and make that $5,000 in profit.

About one hour. And then in my second month to sell out [music] two cards, I literally probably worked two hours a day, maybe five days a week consistently. And I made good time of that work. But that's how simple it was. So when I say you can do this alongside your job, you can.

And this is your escape [music] route. Okay? Because I'm assuming if you can just hunker down for two months and scale this thing up to two cards, [music] well, correct me if I'm wrong, but for probably 95% of you, that will more than replace your current income. And then why would you even continue at your [music] job, unless you're truly passionate about it, but you probably wouldn't be watching this video if you were. Where am I driving into?

I have no idea. Oh my god. Crap. I'm totally lost. So imagine that.

making $10,000 in profit, working about two hours per week. What would you do with the rest of your free time? Not to mention that you can [music] do this on your computer. Would you go on your dream trip? You know, work in the mornings, go on your dream vacation?

Would you pay off some debt? Would you keep working your job and use this as extra [music] income to just destroy the debt that you're in? That's a good idea. Would you save up for retirement? All while just talking to local businesses, which by the way is very pleasant because they appreciate the value we're offering.

[music] The value we're offering is simple to them as well because it's tangible. It's quantitative. They typically spend thousands of dollars in mail marketing. We're just giving them the same exact exposure for $500. Like that's simple [music] math.

It's very easy to show them the value there. So, they really do appreciate it. At least the ones that understand [music] it. And by the way, comment mini and I'll send you over a free little mini course that teaches you how to sell at your first card [music] step by step. Again, comment mini.

I'll send that right over to you. It's free. And now aside from the way I did it, which [music] was all over email, you can also sell out slots by, you know, calling businesses or some even just go doortodoor. Some 9 by12ers just go like to the businesses themselves. They go grab a coffee and they talk to the business [music] owner.

And it's honestly way easier to sell a slot when you're talking to the business owner face to [music] face or on the phone. But email is the lowest barrier to entry. You can just blast them out while avoiding going to spam, which I explained in other videos how to do. [music] But yeah, there's multiple methods for you to sell out these slots. and you could choose which one's best for you.

I'm an introvert, which is why I choose email. And for those of you who don't have the confidence yet, I recommend starting [music] there. And now, this is probably a good time to mention that if you're still watching this, I have a community of over 2700 of us. 2,700 9 by12vers who are all out there all over the country doing [music] this. And in that community, you get access to a step-by-step course, not the miniourse, but a full-on course [music] that has all the scripts.

It's got free templates and it just bring it walks you through step by step exactly how to sell out cards and alongside that we do weekly group training calls and you [music] can actually post in that group almost like a Facebook group so that other you can ask questions to everybody and they can answer your questions about this business and people can share their wins. It's a pretty awesome community and you also have messaging [music] access to me in there if you ever have questions. I try to be as responsive as possible. So if you're interested in checking out that community, it's in the link in the description. We'd love to have you.

But honestly, before you join that community, you should probably validate that this is really something you want to [music] try. So, you should actually watch this 1hour master class right here that breaks down step by step exactly how to sell out your first card within one month and make $5,000 [music] in profit. I'm telling you, step by step. So, watch this video and then I'll look forward to [music] seeing you in the community. Peace.
