2026 Will Change Everything (Here’s What I’m Preparing For)

How to Make Very Good Money in 2026

Introduction and Background

  • Maria Went introduces herself, highlighting her success of over $15 million from selling digital products and the importance of the video for making significant money in 2026.
  • She emphasizes that the video will cover three crucial predictions for 2026 that can help viewers get ahead.

Personal Journey and Insights

  • Maria shares her journey, noting she made only $63 in her first year, contrasting with other marketers who claim quick success.
  • She stresses that building a business takes time and effort, dispelling the myth that it's too late to start now.

The Current Landscape of Business

  • Maria discusses how social media has evolved since she began creating content in 2013, allowing even those with few followers to reach a larger audience through viral content.
  • She points out that while it’s easier than ever to start an online business, established creators must work harder due to increased competition from newcomers.

Predictions for 2026

Prediction #1: Low-Effort Content Decline

  • Maria predicts that low-effort content will receive fewer views as AI-generated content saturates platforms.
  • She warns that those not fully committed to their content creation may become discouraged and quit amidst this competitive landscape.

Commitment is Key

  • Emphasizing commitment, she notes the importance of being dedicated to the process of content creation as a major theme for success in 2026.

Content Creation Trends and Predictions for 2026

The Shift Towards Low Ticket Digital Products

  • The speaker emphasizes a commitment to content creation that challenges the norm, focusing on harder tasks rather than easy AI-generated content, which is expected to yield diminishing returns in views.
  • A prediction is made that more individuals will launch low ticket digital products in 2026. The distinction between high ticket (over $1,000) and low ticket (under $1,000) products is clarified.
  • Historically, high ticket items were seen as the only path to significant income; however, the speaker's students are achieving six and seven figures selling low ticket products priced at $27.
  • Selling high ticket items presents greater challenges due to higher customer expectations compared to low ticket offerings. This makes low ticket sales more scalable and accessible.
  • The speaker highlights success stories from students who have transitioned to low ticket models, indicating a growing trend towards this approach across various industries.

Preparing for a Challenging Year Ahead

  • A forecast for 2026 suggests it will be a year of purging where many will drop out of the market due to increased difficulty. Those committed will find opportunities as competitors exit.
  • Building systems for consistent income through low ticket products requires upfront work but can lead to hands-off operations once established.
  • The speaker encourages viewers by stating that resources are available on platforms like YouTube to assist in launching successful low ticket digital products.

Embracing Growth During Difficult Times

  • The speaker believes that while some years allow for easy growth (like during COVID), 2026 will require dedication and resilience from those who wish to succeed.
  • It’s acknowledged that many may quit when faced with challenges in 2026; however, this creates space for those willing to persist and serve their target audience effectively.
  • A call-to-action is made for viewers to lock in their commitment now so they can capitalize on opportunities as others falter during tough times ahead.
  • Historical patterns show that challenging periods often lead to significant growth for those who remain dedicated; thus, it's crucial not just to survive but thrive during these times.
  • Strategies such as creating quality content during downturn periods are recommended as effective ways of maintaining engagement and growth on platforms like Instagram.

Sales Automation Course Overview

Introduction to the Course

  • The speaker introduces a mini course titled "Sales Around the Clock," designed to help users automate sales through platforms like YouTube and Instagram.
  • Emphasizes that while setting up the system requires effort, it provides clear instructions on achieving $1,000 in automated sales daily.

Course Structure and Accessibility

  • The course is structured in a tutorial style, making it accessible even for those who are not tech-savvy.
  • Step-by-step guidance is provided, detailing each action required to set up the automation process effectively.
