You Need to Become a DIGITAL LANDLORD – The Future of EQUITY CREATION is… DIGITAL:
Digital money and equity is the next (and current) gold rush
Being a “Digital Landlord” means having digital PROPERTIES
These properties are assets like sites, images, video… and drone footage
You want to own MORE of the internet/digital world, then focus on HVT and equity

The Magic Formula for Digital Properties:
– Create HIGH demand content or properties/assets
– Have them all created at zero cost and with regularity
– Continue to upload them and let your holdings accumulate and compound

– Why drone photography (and why drones generally)
– How to get loads of drone footage, without paying for it
– How to sell all your drone footage quickly and repeatedly
– How to hire and build your team so this runs fully without you
– The best order of operations to structure this for passive income AND equity

Why mess with DRONES right now?
(This is what changed my mind and why this is so profitable)
– There is a MASSIVE opportunity gap right now
– You can cheaply and easily get started and scale

Quick Reminder About Our MAIN Goal Here:
What is PASSIVE INCOME?
(Never lose sight of this)

They Payment Pie – These are the only three ways that you’ll ever get paid:

1.) What you DO. (Paycheck/Job)

2.) What you DID. (Residuals/Royalties)

3.) What you OWN. (Equity and Dividends)

How do people usually get paid?

For MOST People = What you DO

For Wealthy People = What you OWN

Remember this Formula: Passive Income = Equity x Production

7.) Begin screening other potential drone uses in your area maybe bigger demands
8.) Begin dealing with those other companies (or not) and establish a full equity plan 9.) Repeat steps 1-6 and then 7-8 and if you don’t fall in love just use residuals for GRS

Intro Email:

Hi John,

Just bought your footage of the dome, it is beautiful and I really appreciate the work that you put into it. I’m in real estate in the US Midwest so I see all four seasons, rain, snow, leaves changing and I have drones in suburbs, cities and farm areas. I’m also around the Indy 500 race track, rare farm areas and one of the flattest topography areas in the world.

Do you have any use for any of that? I would love to help.

If you let me know what to keep an eye out for I can shoot something for you and send it over, no charge or watermarks or anything I would just love to help if I can. I’m also not at your level yet so if you think I’m missing something please let me know lol.

You’re extremely talented – Thanks for sharing! = )

Nurture Emails/DMs:

Hey Guys,

Here’s some new footage based on the feedback you guys gave me I used the flare more, sunset times and better focal length for flat or shadowed images. THANK YOU SO MUCH for the feedback and I really am super excited to see what the buyers say.

I’ll post their comments and feedback here as well so you can see how well your brilliance paid off for me blatantly stealing it lol. Thanks! = )

NEXT Message in Series:

Hi John,

I noticed your new footage and from talking with Mike and Roger they suggest color grading might help it sell better, I’m attaching an example just to see what you think. Thoughts? Thanks! = )

A Few Final Notes:

Just some stuff to think about when you wonder if you should execute on this and/or other Models… or wait it out because of your area, it is too difficult, you don’t have time/capability, etc. 

“Hesitation is the Abortion of Potential.”
– Azam Meo

“Think about the eye of a hurricane, or the calm still center in the middle of a cyclone. No matter how intense the storm or what’s swept up in its gale-force winds, that calm, blue center is always there. This is the metaphor I like to use when talking about the space between stimulus and response. We all have this quiet center within us. Mindfulness reconnects us to this center space, where we fully experience the present moment and have access to the transcendent wisdom that’s often associated with conscious flow. In his book Man’s Search for Meaning, Viktor Frankl famously described it this way: ‘Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom.’”
– George Mumford
Kobe and Jordan’s mental coach

“Retire into yourself as much as possible. Associate with people who are likely to improve you. Welcome those whom you are capable of improving. The process is a mutual one. People learn as they teach.”
