First of all, learn the following concept.

Here is a description of the idea.


An average person has over 100 contacts (see https://techshift.net/how-many-contacts-do-most-people-have-on-their-phone/ )


Assuming overlap of 40% and 100 contacts on average for every person, it gives us an average of 60 unique contacts per each person. Directly, a person has access to 60 persons (level 1). If this person asks these contacts to give their contacts, this person would have 3,600 contacts (2 level), etc.


Level Number of people

1 60

2 3,600

3 216,000

4 12,960,000

5 777,600,000

6 46,656,000,000

7 2,799,360,000,000


On the sixth level this person could reach anyone on the planet.


Here is the procedure to follow:


Step 1. Create a list of all your contacts (friends, relatives, colleagues, etc.) whom you can contact directly.


Step 2. Contact all persons on the first level (direct contacts) and ask them the following questions:


1. How many passwords do you mange?

2. Are they strong or easy? (see https://www.bitdefender.com/blog/hotforsecurity/us-federal-agency-employees-use-weak-passwords-that-can-be-cracked-or-guessed-quickly-audit-finds/ https://www.safetydetectives.com/blog/the-most-hacked-passwords-in-the-world/ https://nordpass.com/most-common-passwords-list/)

3. Is it easy for you to manage and change all passwords?

4. Where are the passwords stored?

5. How likely they can be hacked?

6. Can you estimate loses and damage you will have if the passwords will be hacked?

7. Do you believe that quantum computers are able to break encryption today or will be able in the near future?


Step 3. Classify all answers on the following 3 types:


1 has no a problem

2 has a problem, but not aware about it

3 has a problem, aware about it, is looking for solutions


Step 4 Calculate the following ratios:


R1=Number of answers with type 3/Total number of answers

R2=Number of answers with type 2/Total number of answers


Ratio 1 shows a share of contacts, who may become customers, with light efforts.

Ratio 2 shows a share of contacts, who may become customers, with moderate efforts after the problem will be recognized.


Step 5 Ask all contacts on the list for lists of their contacts


Some people would agree to give their contact lists, but some not. Now, you have access to the contacts on the second level. Repeat steps 2-5 until you will have the number of answers with types 2, 3 above 10,000.


Congratulations!!! You have the list of over 10,000 prospects.


If you convert these prospects into customers and get $10 per each customer, you will have income of $100,000.
