What is the Brambila Method and does it work?
It’s an 8 day program that teaches people how to make money online without spending a bunch of money. You will learn how to start a side hustle and get paid while collecting leads. If you know nothing about online business, a lead is a potential customer. Many businesses and entrepreneurs give away something for free in order to attract a lead (getting their contact information). Now in doing this the business is usually spending money one way or another (ads, marketing, website, etc.). Then, they use that contact information to reach out to the customer to build trust and tell the customer about their offers.
Now with the Brambila Method, you learn about existing marketplaces that allow you to market yourself for free. You get a paying customer straight from there. Then you learn how to turn that customer into a repeat customer. Alternatively, you can introduce the customer to other products or services they may be interested in based on what they bought from you, and you get a commission if they buy that product or service through your links. This is called affiliate marketing. All you have to do is understand the customer’s interests and needs, and then provide an honest recommendation to help them with those things. Sounds pretty cool right! Just like giving a recommendation to a friend except you are going to get paid to do it.
How is the Brambila Method different from others?
The Brambila Method's main differentiating factor to me is that you will learn how you can get traffic while being paid. As opposed to either paying money for ads to get traffic or paying with your time and effort to give out free services in order to gain traffic through organic methods. Paid traffic can be expensive and is often fruitless. Organic traffic often takes much longer and requires more time and effort. Organic traffic also depends on social platforms algorithms that may not work in your favor. With the Brambila Method you will learn how you can first get paid and as a result get a lead who you can then offer other products or services to. Because they were interested in your first offer of goods or services, they are likely to be interested in your other services or products. Additionally, you have fostered trust in the relationship by providing the first product or service they paid for.
Some of the methods used in the Brambila Method are not passive. You would have to trade your time for money. Which is something that I like to avoid when possible. However, many of the methods taught can be used to produce passive income. That means that you would be required to put in effort upfront, but you should be able to make passive income long-term after putting in the initial effort. My goals, and my goals for you, would be to build multiple streams of passive income so that you aren't depending on 1 income source. Investing will be your most passive source of income, but your other sources will help fund your investing and speed up your wealth building.
Is the Brambila Method an MLM or Pyramid Scheme?
No because....
1) You will also not be trained to sell this program
2) Only 100 people who were originally chosen to test the program are allowed to be affiliates.
3) Affiliates do not pay to be an affiliate
4) Affiliates do not recruit affiliates
Does the Brambila Method have an affiliate program?
Yes. The Brambila Method does utilize affiliates… with a catch. Just because you join the program does not mean you get to be an affiliate. You will also not be trained to sell this program. Only 100 people who were originally chosen to test the program are allowed to be affiliates. The only other way to get in was to be part of the early access group who are on a waiting list now to take a spot if one of the 100 drop out or lose access.
Yes, the Brambila Method has rules to be an affiliate. The biggest thing is that each affiliate has to prove income through online side hustles or business outside of being a Brambila Method affiliate. This proof must be submitted each month.
How do I know? Well, I am one of the original 100 testers.
Would you like an inside look of how the beta testing went and the responses from the 100 beta testers?
The program consisted of 8 days of training on different side hustles. At the end of each day Adrian, the creator, would ask the 100 beta testers if we thought that day was sufficient and people could make money online using that technique. There were some days that the beta testers thought Adrian should add more information or change things here and there. Adrian was great and took all of the comments into consideration and added things to the program until everyone agreed that each day’s training was valuable. At the end of the full program, he asked the beta testers if we believed the program could make people money and if it was worth the price. Do you know what the beta testers told him? The answer was a resounding no! Everyone agreed, the course was worth way more!
So if you want to learn how to make money online doing a side hustle that could potentially turn into your full-time hustle, I highly suggest checking out his course the Brambila Method. He continues to update this course often based on changes in the market and customer feedback. The original 100 and the new members of the program have been giving astoundingly positive reviews of the program and were able to start making money quickly after beginning the program.
How did I get started in the Brambila Method?
I started social media after gaining a passion for investing and realizing my fellow nurses needed to learn about investing and finance.
I have been a board member in a few professional nursing organizations. When conversations came up on increasing membership and fundraising, I kept being told that the nurses said things were too expensive and they didn't have the money. I volunteered in the political committee, and I could see how important it was to have money to make changes in politics. I started to realize that nothing would change for nurses if we didn't have money and if we couldn't tell employers to kindly shove it when they gave us unsafe working conditions. Imagine what would happen if nurses had enough money that if they were given a terrible assignment they had no qualms with just walking out and taking their time to be selective in finding another position. Money is power.
At the same time I was investing and realized I needed to start making more money so I can invest more and grow money faster. Time in the market is better than timing the market. I also started learning about the tax advantages of having a business, and I wanted to take full advantage of that. Plus, a bunch of my followers and fellow nurses were telling me that they didn't have the money to invest. So I started down the path of making money with side hustles. Adrian Brambila started to ask for applicants to be one of the first to test his new program teaching about side hustles. I saw this as an opportunity to learn about side hustles and as an option to share with my followers, but I wanted to make sure it was legit first.
Brambila Method Review of each day:
Day 1
On Day 1 you learn about Fiverr, an online freelancer marketplace. On Fiverr, you can post any kind of gig for whatever price you want. For example, I had someone make my branding and logo on Fiverr. You can do just about anything: make phone calls, be someone’s friend or sounding board, play video games with people, teach things, design things, make social media content, write, edit, and translate. Think about anything that you enjoy doing or anything that comes easily to you. Other people are probably struggling or are interested, too. You don’t have to have a degree in anything to do it.
Now, a lot of this may seem time consuming, but remember you are building a business (or you are really just trying to get out of your current job as quickly as possible). You are building trust with people. You can eventually convert these customers into a customer off of Fiverr as well. You can also think of things that you can make ahead of time (maybe things you’ve already made), and maybe they just need a few changes for someone to be a good gig. This saves your customer time and headache, and it’s relatively quick and simple for you.
Are you still thinking you just don’t have anything to offer? Fiverr also has a learn section, so you can take a course and you’ll get a badge saying that you are officially educated to do the job. Check it out.
So now you can go ahead and sign up for Fiverr and be thinking about what kind of gigs you might want to offer. Then, you will learn the whole process once you are in the Brambila Method. Let me know if you need some help. I’m pretty good at coming up with ideas for people.
If you still aren’t sure that Fiverr is really for you, wait for my other emails as I go over all of the methods that the Brambila Method covers.
Day 2
Day 2 in the Brambila Method goes over a few different places that you can post courses on. This is a great way to make some passive income. All you have to do is make a short course about anything that interests you. You can even post the same videos in multiple places. Now you’ve got courses up in multiple locations for people to find when they are actively interested in learning. You don’t have to bother with finding people and marketing to them. This could pay you for years while you put forth no further effort.
Udemy and SkillShare are the websites given for this method. So go ahead and check those out and get started by signing up to be an instructor. Remember, you don’t have to be a master, you just have to be a step ahead of someone else.
Day 3
In Day 3 of the Brambila Method, you are introduced to Upwork. It's sort of like Fiverr except reversed. Here people post jobs they are looking to hire out. You get to post a profile with your information, including your basic hourly pay. The job postings also have their budget for pay as well.
I like to look through and see the things people are hiring for and what they are willing to pay. I was amazed actually. They are willing to pay quite a lot without me needing to keep anyone alive, which is crazy to me lol. I’m not going to risk being sued for medical malpractice yet I’d still be making good money?! WOW! They actually have a lot of health and medical writing jobs that healthcare workers might be interested in.
Also, a few people in the Brambila Method have been approached by companies who end up hiring them as contractors basically full time after they apply for a short term gig. I’m talking 6 figure work that is majority, if not all, remote and on your own time! I’m loving it!
Day 4
In Day 4 of the Brambila Method, you are taught about print on demand sites. When I first learned about print on demand (POD), I was the chair for a fundraising committee for my state’s Nurse Practitioner professional organization. We had a Shopify store where we listed merchandise we had made in bulk. Mainly we used this to sell at our conferences. As I started to take over my position, I learned that I could connect the Shopify store with other businesses that would print whatever I wanted on different merchandise whenever someone bought it and would even package and ship right to them. It seemed like a no-brainer. I didn’t have to worry about leftover merchandise that people didn’t buy, having the wrong sizes, hauling merchandise anywhere, packaging, or shipping. All I had to do was get designs to put on the items. And I’ll tell you a little secret… I paid someone else to make the designs for me. I just had to make sure that they were giving me the rights to print and ship to however many people I wanted.
That being said… in the Brambila Method, I figured out a way to make some pretty cute designs that were relatively simple. That was through Canva. You will need the Pro version to get transparent backgrounds.
Here’s a shameless plug for my dry erase board I made on Zazzle. One thing I learned while making this is not to use the backgrounds available from other designers on Zazzle. You can’t sell them. You’ll need to either make the design in Canva or at least the background, and then you can use the graphics and fonts in Zazzle.
Shopify costs money to keep your website up but you can use these free marketplaces to market, print and ship your items: Zazzle, Merch by Amazon, Redbubble, Threadless, Design by Humans, and Etsy (small fee with Etsy). You can go ahead and check those out. See which ones you think would work best for what you would be interested in designing. Go sign up for them because it may take a few days to be approved. You can always post designs on all of them as well.
Day 5
In Day 5 of the Brambila Method, you learn more about what affiliate marketing is and how you can really use it. I love the idea of affiliate marketing because it's really very passive. You don’t have to come up with any product and you don’t have to commit to any labor on your part. Please just don’t become sleazy with it. Only market things that you actually use, would use, or would tell your family and friends to use if you weren’t being paid. You know what else is great? You can now buy whatever it is you are affiliate marketing for and it's a business expense for your taxes. (I’m not a CPA though so make sure you’re actually talking to one of those before you go crazy buying stuff. You know, be reasonable.)
Now there isn’t exactly one website that I can direct you to go sign up for with this. I think the most valuable thing for you to start doing is researching what kind of niche you’d like to go into. Think back to Day 1 with Fiverr and the things you were interested in. The best way to grow as a real business is to tie in all of these together. Let me give you a few common examples.
A fitness instructor marketing to moms trying to lose weight or stay in shape. She makes video exercise courses on Udemy, sells custom exercise and diet programs on Fiverr, designs motivational workout gear on Etsy, and is an affiliate for nutritional supplements, workout equipment, and a prepared meals program. See how we build a whole ecosystem here.
A gamer sells walkthrough tutorials, plays games with people through Fiverr, designs funny/quirky gaming merch, and affiliates for gaming chairs, headsets, computers, and other merch companies.
An artist teaches courses on her specific style of art, remakes her art to put on merch, and affiliates for art supply companies plus her favorite tea she drinks while she makes art.
You want a niche that is broad enough to plenty of options to affiliate for but also specific enough that you know your customer is actually interested in them.
Hopefully that helps get your creative juices flowing. Of course, this will all be covered in much more detail in the Brambila Method.
Day 6
On day 6 of the Brambila Method, you learn about how to utilize search engines to get eyes on your products you are affiliate marketing for. Two of the best places for that to happen are Youtube and Pinterest. Go ahead and sign up for separate business accounts for those. The great thing about this kind of content is that people are actively searching for something that is related to your product, so they are more likely to buy than if they just stumbled across your video or picture. You can also use your affiliate link straight from your content on these platforms.
I’ll keep this one short today because it gets pretty technical with how to figure out the best search terms and where to put those terms in your content so they can be easily found. It's all explained in the program, so just follow it step by step there.
Day 7
So the real value here in Day 7 of the Brambila Method is learning how to not be a sleazy and scammy sounding person while affiliate marketing. You can easily incorporate affiliate marketing into groups that you exist in, but you don’t want to be off putting. If you don’t know anything about sales or marketing, then this day is really going to help you know how to sell without feeling like you’re a nasty salesperson.
Yeah, I know how you probably feel. I’ve always hated selling stuff. I remember as a kid having to sell things for fundraisers, and I absolutely hated it. I hate when I have to buy a car, and I have to talk to the salesman I just know is trying to get me to buy something I don’t need or want so he can make a buck. I hate going to the store and an employee asking if they can help me find anything. I don’t like feeling pressured to buy anything, and I don’t want to pressure anyone else to buy anything.
When I started this whole being an entrepreneur thing (which still feels weird), I really didn’t like the idea of selling something. When it came to affiliate marketing though, it didn’t feel nasty though because I was really just recommending things I used and thought other people would benefit from. It's best to find things that you actually believe are valuable.
I’ll give you one idea I use for my facebook groups. I’m an amazon affiliate so if anyone asks for recommendations for something, I just go find the item I would recommend and share the affiliate link. It doesn’t take too long to do, and I’m not being annoying. You can also just post the link with a comment like “Has anyone used these?”. Just make sure the item makes sense for the group and don’t spam every day with something.
Day 8
It's the final day of the Brambila Method.
Do you love finding a good deal? If yes, then this method could work for you.
On the last day, you learn about retail arbitrage. Basically, it's finding a good deal in one place, buying the item, and selling in another place where it's selling for a higher price. (Please don’t be a scalper though, it really makes my husband mad lmao). But what if it doesn’t sell? What about packing and shipping? What about the extra costs? Am I really going to turn a profit?
Well, I’m going to be honest. I haven’t tried this method… yet. I can’t give you any personal insights. However, I’ll tell you that these questions are all answered in the program, and I fully believe that people can make good money doing this. I believe it because I know people who have. From what the program teaches, it's actually not that complicated either. They give you some cool calculators (yeah, you know I love calculators) and research tools that figure in all of the costs and show your profit margin. You can also figure out if the item is likely to sell.
Final Thoughts
The program is constantly being improved and added to, which is awesome. There’s also some surprise bonuses to help get you going. If any of this sounded like it would be a good fit for you, I believe that any one of these days on its own would be able to pay for this program and more if you stuck to it. If you want to really learn how to make this work and you want to make it work, then this program will be beneficial to you.
If you are on the fence, you can reach out to me with any questions. Adrian and Dom, the creators of the program, usually list their numbers on the sign up form for you to contact them as well.
If you know this just isn’t for you, I’d be happy to help you find something that would work for you. Just email me or reach out on my socials with what your goals are and what you are thinking of. I’ll try to point you in the right direction.
