How Samuel Leeds built a $16M property education business

What he does

Samuel runs a property investment training business. He teaches others how to invest in UK real estate, does mentoring, books, crash courses, deal-sourcing, and publishes content. His company reportedly turned over around £10 million/year (around $16 million/year)

What’s his secret sauce?

He leverages his story (starting young, not coming from wealth) and sells beginners on big wins - deal-sourcing, rent to rent and development. His messaging makes property feel possible even if you don’t have thousands saved. He mixes free entry points (crash courses, free content) with big upsell offers.

How does he get traffic?

He uses free webinars, YouTube, crash-courses and books to bring people in. Also heavy use of social proof - students’ success stories, media appearances, and email marketing. When people see someone young like them making property deals, it builds belief, which drives sign-ups.

Q&A

“How long does it take to make money with an online business?”

Faster than most people think - if you focus on selling first, building later. Too many get lost designing logos, tweaking websites, or planning funnels. None of that pays the bills. What gets you paid is putting an offer in front of people as quickly as possible.

Realistically, you can make sales within 30–60 days if you stay focused. Create a simple offer that solves a clear problem, share it with an audience (even a small one), and charge. Once money comes in, refine. Progress comes from speed and iteration, not waiting for perfection.

TIP OF THE DAY

Forget about designing the perfect website or logo. Focus on getting your first sellable thing live. It could be as simple as a PDF, a mini-course, or a one-hour workshop. Selling something small now teaches you more about business than months of planning ever will.
