Why You Need This Checklist

What if you could build a real online income without ever becoming an influencer, posting daily content, or showing your face to the world? Most advice out there tells you to build a personal brand, go live, and perform for an audience every single day. But what if that model just isn't for you — and you still want the income?

Here's the reality: most beginners waste months spinning their wheels on oversaturated ideas that worked five years ago but no longer move the needle. They try generic Etsy templates, slap up a print-on-demand store with the same designs as everyone else, or throw affiliate links into the void hoping someone clicks. The result? Frustration, wasted time, and zero sales. Meanwhile, the people actually making money online have figured out one thing: it's not about working harder, it's about picking the right model and executing it smarter.

Imagine waking up to notifications of sales, newsletter sponsorship payments, or a store flip that just netted you $80,000 — all without a single selfie, a single viral video, or a single follower who knows your real name. That's exactly what the seven business models covered by Josh Sale and the Learn With Shopify team make possible. From digital products and print-on-demand to ghostwriting, reselling, store flipping, affiliate marketing, and paid newsletters, each model is built on systems — not on you performing for an audience.

Josh doesn't just list ideas and send you off. He breaks down exactly what still works in each category, why the old playbook is broken, and what the people actually making money right now are doing differently. The Hustle sold for $27 million. Morning Brew sold for $75 million. These are email lists. Store flipping can turn a $30,000 per year store into a $60,000 to $120,000 payday. The Shopify affiliate program pays up to $150 per qualified referral with no earning cap. These aren't hypotheticals — they're real outcomes from real models.

This PDF checklist takes everything from that video and turns it into a step-by-step action plan you can start executing today. Every tool, every platform, every decision point is mapped out so you're not guessing. Pick your model, follow the steps, and build something that runs without you having to be the face of it. Your checklist is waiting — let's build.

What's Inside — Preview

Every checklist item comes with actionable notes to guide you — things like "Don't forget to do this before you start," "Avoid this common mistake," or "Set a reminder for 30 days out." Nothing vague, just clear next steps.

DECIDE Decide which of the 7 faceless business models fits your skills, interests, and available time before doing anything else.
RESEARCH If choosing Digital Products: Identify a specific niche topic you understand so deeply you could carry a trivia team on the subject.
PLAN Position your digital product around the outcome it delivers, not the file format itself.
BUILD Use AI to build the design, copy, and sales page for your digital product — but ensure the idea and positioning are uniquely yours.
DECIDE If choosing Print on Demand: Narrow your audience to a hyper-specific micro-niche before designing a single product.
