Struggling To Pay Your Bills? Official Government Advice Is…Work More Hours Or Get A Better Job!

I have always said that you need to take care of yourself because you simply cannot rely on the Government.

They take your tax money, but very rarely help you out when you really need it.

The UK is currently experiencing huge increases in energy costs, yet the energy companies have made billions in profits recently.

They blame the increase in gas prices but from what I can ascertain, there is a surplus of gas on the market.

The UK is the only country in Europe which hasn’t capped energy price increases and the Government has recently voted against a windfall tax which could put money back into the system to help those who need it.

Politicians will be politicians and as we have seen recently, the current lot are pocketing bonuses, enjoying perks and being employed as highly paid ‘consultants’ by the companies who are basically holding the public to ransom.

Yesterday I saw a woman on Twitter say that her energy supplier had informed her to increase her direct debit payment from £60 a month to £325.

The amount she was paying for five months worth of energy, she now has to pay for just one.

Recently I shared with you the story of Elsie, the pensioner who was forced to eat one meal a day to keep costs down and use her OAP bus pass to spend the day travelling on busses so that she could keep warm and avoid using any electricity or heating at home because her monthly energy bills had also increased fivefold.

So while people in the UK are genuinely struggling through no fault of their own, what is the official Government advice?

Well, according to Conservative MP Rachel Maclean, the official line is to work more hours, or get a better paid job!

Okay, to be fair on her, she didn’t say that was for everyone and it was only a suggestion for those who can… kind of.

The big problem is that those who are in a position to work more hours probably can’t because there may not be any more hours available at their place of work.

The availability of overtime is decided by the employer and not the employee.

They could always get a second job, but there may not be enough of those to go around.

A second job is fine if you live in a large town or city where there are a lot of businesses and industry close by, but what if you live in a small rural area?

There may not be any second jobs available in those kinds of areas. What do you do then?

Plus, after doing a hard day’s work elsewhere, they may not want to work more hours. Would you?

Those same politicians who are suggesting that the public get second jobs are the ones who are getting paid thousands for just a few hours work through their second jobs.

Sit in on a few meetings, sign a few documents, make a few introductions and ask a few questions in parliament… get paid tens of thousands of pounds.

We’d all like the chance of landing one of those kinds of second jobs wouldn’t we?

The other problem is that a lot of the people who are struggling are already working two or three jobs.

There simply aren’t enough hours in the day.

Even if there were, most people would soon crash and burn. You cannot work every hour in the day for long before it catches up on you.

Changing to a better job is also sound advice… but it doesn’t help in the here and now.

Getting a better job very often requires learning new skills and gaining new knowledge. Getting a better job often takes time.

You can’t always walk right into a better job without the right foundations or experience.

Again, are there enough ‘better’ jobs around for all of those who want or need one?

The official line of work more hours or get a better job is flawed and is currently not very useful advice for the majority.

However, as you know…

I have been saying for years that you must take responsibility for yourself and your finances because as we have seen, there is little to no help from the Government for the honest hard working people of Britain.

With the official line of work more hours or get a better job… the Government is putting the responsibility squarely at your feet.

The onus is on you.

If that doesn’t clearly tell you that you are on your own and that you need to take control of your financial situation then nothing will.

Don’t expect help… be the help you need.

You have to rely on yourself and yourself alone.

So what are your options other than work more hours or apply for a better job?

You could start your own business, but you have to be aware that during times like these where a lot of people are struggling to afford to live, they cut back on a lot of unnecessary spending.

However… there are things which people still buy when times are hard… junk food is one of them.

Sales of cheap junk food often go up during times of economic crisis.

If you want to start your own business, you need to think long and hard about what products or services you want to offer.

The last thing you want to do is start selling the one thing most people have stopped buying in order to save money.

The other option is that you offer your products or services to people who need them and can afford them.

For example, a business needs customers and during a time when people are not buying, businesses are fighting for customers so if you can find and deliver a constant flow of customers, businesses would happily pay you for your services.

There is one way to make money which is always available no matter what the current economic climate is like.

And that is trading the markets.

Trading the markets is a great way to make money without needing to work more hours or find a second or third job.

It can be done from the comfort of your own home using nothing more than your smartphone. You may prefer to use a tablet or laptop.

If you are a regular reader of my articles, you will know that our good friend Kate Davis regularly makes between £50 and £185 most mornings while working out in her gym before starting work… which is why we call her the treadmill trader.

She generally makes between £750 and £1,725 tax free money each month trading the markets using nothing more than her smartphone.

£750 or more each month is really going to make your life easier. That extra money would give you peace of mind during uncertain times.

Kate follows a simple set of rules which reduces risk and rewards her with big profits.

If you would like to know more about how Kate makes between £50 and £185 most mornings, go to:

Doing This One Thing Will Protect Your Finances… And Your Life!

I remember once watching an episode of a period detective drama – I believe it focused on an eccentric amateur sleuth who solved crimes to the annoyance of the local constabulary – where in the opening scene a man was seen having a heart attack after reading about the closure of the small village train station that he managed.

The man was later found murdered, but that is a different story entirely.

That opening scene made me think about the fact that people who have worked in the same job for years and who have relied on the same wage can suffer severely when it is all taken away from them.

When the security of their job and their only income is suddenly taken away, their whole life comes crashing down around them.

The initial shock of losing their job and income can lead to sudden panic and major stress which can bring on things such as a heart attack.

The problem actually stems from not losing the job or money, but from comfortably relying on the one job and income.

That comfort and security is removed in an instant.

Having one income is incredibly risky.

Anything can happen.

In the case of the man who managed the small village train station in the drama, British Rail decided to close the station because it had been losing money for many years and because there were alternative ways available for the villagers to travel.

Keeping the station open was not practical and so the decision to close it was made by others elsewhere with no thought or concern for the people who worked there.

The financial situation of their staff was not their concern; their concerns lay with the company and its finances.

The decision to close came as a crushing blow for the station manager… oh that and the fact that his young bit on the side turned up pregnant while he was with his wife… the plot thickens!

Relying on one income stream is dangerous.

Losing your job and your only income is bad enough, but if you cannot find a replacement job or a way to make adequate amounts of money fast, it will impact on your confidence, self-esteem and can lead to long term mental health issues such as depression… which can – and has – lead to suicide.

Sadly, many people have taken their own lives after losing their jobs and being unable to support their families.

Prolonged periods without a job or earning money can be incredibly harmful to a person.

It is in my opinion that people should have at least two incomes.

One of the most important reasons for having a second income – or at least a second set of income creating skills – is that it will give you a lot more security, more peace of mind, and it will protect you from overwhelm and major stress when one of your income streams comes to a sudden stop thanks to external forces.

The extra money is great when everything is going good, but when life takes a turn for the worse and one income stops; the second income saves your bacon.

If you are earning £2,000 a month from a job (income A), then I suggest that you build a second income (income B) which also gives you at least £2,000 a month.

Currently you are managing comfortably on £2,000 (income A).

Build a second income (income B) which also gives you £2,000 a month.

Now you have £4,000 (incomes A & B) coming in, which would be great as you could invest £2,000 each month or put it away into a safety fund.

Here’s the important part…

Should income A suddenly and without warning come to a stop, you now have £2,000 coming in from income B plus the money you have amassed over the months leading up to the moment you lose income A.

Now you are back to managing as you were before you built income B… comfortably.

Money still coming in… and all bills are getting paid.

No major stress, no panic or fear, and no possibility of a heart attack striking.

It’s for this reason that I believe everyone should have at least two income streams.

And as you should know by now, there are so many ways to make money today.

The opportunities and tools available to us today are simply mind blowing when you stop and think about it.

Going back to that period detective drama, everything was done either by ringing people on a fixed phone, being in a specific place, or having to send physical items through the post.

The station manager had no access to trading platforms or betting exchanges via a touchscreen mobile phone to build his second income… but you do.

He didn’t have access to millions of people globally through the use of email, social media and blogging platforms… but you do.

He wasn’t able to publish his thoughts, ideas or knowledge for free and earn money when people paid to read them… but you do.

He wasn’t able to create his own radio or television shows or broadcast live to potentially millions of people from the comfort of his own home… but you do.

We live in the greatest time in human history for people to make money from the comfort of their own homes… for free!

You can start today for free, there may be some running costs in the future, but they are pennies in comparison to years ago.

Recently I told you that I had read about a guy making £2,000 a month extra building simple websites in his spare time… that was on top of his day job.

I also told you about the woman who wrote and sold articles on a website… that was not her main income.

Both of those business models cost very little to run, in fact the article writing one cost nothing to run at all.

There are others which require you to invest money so that you can leverage the money such as trading.

Others require you to buy something to sell on for a profit later.

There are so many different ways to make money today; the hardest part is deciding which one is right for you.

One way to make money which is pretty simple to manage and is perfect for a second income stream is the buying and selling of new crypto currencies.

Our good friend Carl Wilkins has made himself a nice little fortune investing in new crypto currencies.

Carl is the Crypto Sniper who buys newly created crypto currencies – currencies which very few people know about – and sits on them while they grow in popularity.

Some currencies have exploded to the point that thousands of pounds have been made overnight.

As more and more people jump on the new growing currencies, £50 can quickly grow into several thousand pounds in a matter of days… sometimes in just hours.

New crypto currencies, known as Altcoins – they are newer alternatives to the older well known coins such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and XRP – are being created and introduced to the world on a near daily basis.

When these new coins go live, a small £5 investment can be all that is required to generate a profit of several thousands.

Not all new coins do well, but those that do… do incredibly well.

PS… With the Crypto Sniper you get a complete beginners guide to crypto currencies and altcoins (if this has all been a mystery to you up to now, Carl will lift the fog!) where you’ll learn:

  • How and where to open an account to buy and sell ‘hot’ coins. (You only need to do this once to open the gateway to life-changing profits.)
  • The key criteria to look out for in coins poised to skyrocket in value by 1,000%or even more. (It’s easy to spot when you know what to look for.)
  • How to buy at precisely the right time.(It’s rarely when the coin is at its absolute cheapest.)
  • How to use simple charts to track and monitor your trades (Everything is ‘ready-made’via the websites Carl will direct you to.)
  • How to set up automaticprice alerts so that you’re alerted by text or email when it’s time to cash in and take your profits.
  • How to sell your coins for maximum profits with minimum risk.
  • How to smoothly roll over your profits into the next ‘hot coin’ (or withdraw them and have some fun, if that’s what you’d prefer.)

Multiply Your Savings By Turning Them Into Profits

The other day when chatting to a friend, she told me about her parent’s crazy food shopping habits.

Apparently her mother had been complaining that they had spent £90 on food that week.

So my friend decided to go and investigate.

She went to see them on the day ASDA delivered the weekly shop so that she could see what they were buying.

To her horror, she found out that her mother was basically ordering the same shop each week plus any extras they believed they needed.

That meant that she was not checking to see what they already had in and what they had not used from the previous week’s delivery.

Her mother was simply ordering more of the same whether or not they needed it.

When she went to the fridge to put the two new bags of carrots away, she found two unopened bags of carrots already in the fridge.

Her father tried to throw away a fresh broccoli to make room for the carrots.

Her parents love fruit and each week they order punnets of strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and grapes.

The fruit bowl was stacked so high, it looked like it had been pinched from a hotel breakfast room.

There were enough apples and bananas to feed a primary school.

When my friend went to put the new punnets away in the fridge, she found several unopened punnets of moulding fruit.

Her father was in the habit of filling the fridge without stock rotation.

He would push the new fresh food on top of the food already in there which is why there were several punnets of mouldy fruit buried at the back.

To cut a long story short, her parents were ordering food which they didn’t need, and they were throwing away a lot of food that had gone rotten because they hadn’t got round to eating it.

She also noticed that the freezer was rammed with food such as fish and meat that wasn’t getting eaten because they were eating the fresh stuff which was being delivered each week.

My friend suggested that they focus on eating the fish and meat they have in the freezer, not ordering any more until it was all gone and then only ordering what they need each week and eat it when it was delivered.

She asked why neither of them checked the cupboards, the fridge or the freezer before ordering the shopping and why they never removed anything from the saved online order.

There answer was… ‘We don’t like doing it’.

Her parents are quite old and spend their days pottering around the house. From what I am told, most of their time is spent on the sofa in front of the television with them both playing on their laptops.

Both of them are still capable of walking and doing stuff, it’s just that they don’t really want to.

Half an hour is all it would take to see what they already had, what they needed and to modify the online order.

By simply reordering the saved online order every week and adding a few extras to it, her parents are throwing good money in the bin.

Freezer food isn’t so bad but a lot of the fresh food is just being binned because they are not eating it.

They might as well throw fivers in the bin instead.

I am not one to suggest that people should go crazy trying to save money and cut back on everything and live a frugal life to protect a few pounds.

I prefer to recommend people to find a way to make more money because:

  1. It’s a lot easier to make money than most people realise.
  1. There is a limit to how much you can save. If you have £100 to spend in a week, the most you can save is £100 if you do nothing more than stay in bed in the dark for seven days.
  1. There is no limit to how much money you can make when you start to earn extra money. You can save £5 by buying a couple less punnets of fruit whereas you can earn £100 or more writing a few articles for people or selling a few items on eBay sourced from a car boot sale or charity shop. The more you do, the more you can earn.

However, I will say this…

It is foolish to waste money

Buying stuff that you don’t use is a complete waste which is not doing your money any favours.

Saving money while earning money is good because it increases the amount of money you have to play with.

If you earn £20 and save £20, you now have £40 to use on more important things.

Saving money is a great way to increase your money if you use that saved money to buy products to sell or invest it on something which will earn you money back.

By using that money to make money, you multiply the saving.

It’s no longer just saved money, it is profit.

Considering that any money saved was originally wasted and lost, would it not make sense to reuse it to make more money?

It’s not like you are going to miss it, it had been missing each week as it is.

Reclaim wasted money… and use it to make more money.

That surely has to be the ultimate win-win.

You could say that it’s like printing money for free.

It’s far better to use £5 to make £10 or more than simply throwing it in the bin by buying food which you don’t eat because it has gone off, or paying for a television channel that you use only once in a blue moon.

One way to turn saved money into profit is to buy and sell digital assets for a huge profit.

The great thing about digital assets is that they don’t cost a lot to buy.

But you can make a lot of profit selling them.

Only this week I read about one guy who made a profit of £3573.20 selling a digital asset.

That is an incredible profit.

It’s not the typical profit amount, but it can happen occasionally.

Digital assets cost around £7.50 which can then be sold on for a £75+ profit.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we can all find that first £7.50 investment by removing a few doubled up and unwanted items from our weekly shop.

I know my friends parents could buy many digital assets with the money they now save now that she has sorted out their online order.

What’s really good about this way to make money is that you can get started today buying your first digital asset.

What’s even better is that the actual buying and selling process is managed by other people online.

You personally do not touch anything.

There is nothing to be delivered; it is all done online.

To Find Financial Freedom, You Only Need Two Of These…

I was reading an interesting article this morning which basically stated that to quit your job and reach financial freedom, all you needed was to specialise in a specific skill and find just two clients each month from social media.

It was an interesting article and I agree with a lot of the points raised.

It said that when it came to making money online and quitting the day job, most people over think it.

This is true.

What the author of the article was basically saying is that all you need to do is learn to do one specific thing really well, open up conversations with wealthy business owners on social media and then tell them that you have a business which can help them with the problem they are facing and charge £5,000 for that service.

Two clients at £5,000 per month is £120,000 per year.

I do believe that this article was written by a thritysomething and was aimed at people in that age category because he mentioned mastering specific skills such as writing, content marketing planning, social media managing and other various roles which are popular with younger people.

However, that’s not to say that people over the age of forty cannot do those jobs, our techy guy and writer is nearing fifty.

He was fast approaching forty when he started to learn the skills which led down a different career path.

Most things can be mastered by people of any age if they have enough interest and discipline.

Also, the process of landing paying clients the author of the article talked about works for people of any age and possibly any industry.

Everything I read about in that article echoes a lot of what I have written about in my previous articles such as opening up conversations with people who are in a position to employ your services for a premium fee.

The author said that a lot of people today who want financial freedom are so focused on chasing money through multiple methods that they overlook the simplest method going…

Offer a much needed service to only those who can pay a premium price for it.

This is a service which doesn’t require a lot of hard work and allows you to manage two or three clients comfortably each month.

In one previous article I talked about the six degrees of separation also known as the six handshake rule which states that we are all just six social connections from the people we need to know.

Basically, what that means is that you are closer than you realise to the wealthy clients you need.

And thanks to social media, you can connect with more and more people around the world.

Finding clients has never been easier.

You are one click away from people who can pay you thousands to deliver a service or results that they need.

In the article the author suggests people open up conversations on Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook by first liking and commenting on people’s post so that they get to ‘know’ you before talking business in direct messages.

It’s basic human networking.

Start with small talk; get to know each other a little before getting down to business.

It’s like dating…

You get to know the person for a short while before asking them to marry you and telling them that you want children with them.

If you dive right in from the start, you run the risk of scaring people off or ‘rubbing them up the wrong way’.

People buy from people they know and trust, especially if the price is in the thousands.

They want to know that you are legit and that you are who you say you are and that you can do what you say you can do.

Business owners do not want to waste or lose money hiring the wrong person.

Once you get to know them more and they get to know you better, you ask if they need any help with whatever it is that you specialise in.

So for example; if you specialise in email marketing, you ask if they are having problems with their email campaigns and that they should book a free 30 minute chat with you where you talk about their problem.

You offer up some advice and then tell them that you can do the work for them if they would like.

If they say yes, you discuss price and payment and if they are happy to go ahead, you now have a new client who is happy to pay you £5,000 or more.

There are many services that you can specialise in where you can charge clients thousands of pounds each month.

If you find the right clients and can deliver the service you promise and they are expecting, then yes, you can charge several thousand pounds per client.

You do only need two clients each month to leave the day job and find financial freedom.

You might find one or two clients who are happy to hire you for your services each month as part of a long term rolling contract.

Many companies which need sales letters written each month pay a monthly retainer to the same writers.

They keep them ‘on the books’ knowing that they can contact them when they need a sales letter written, and that they will get something they know is good.

The writer himself may only do a few hours work each month but gets paid a premium.

Being able to write sales letters and sales material is one of those skills where you can charge the right clients thousands of pounds.

It is through the use of sales letters that we and many other businesses have made millions and so if you know how to write a profitable sales letter, your skills are going to be incredibly valuable to the right people.

If you would like to know how to write profitable sales letters which can have you earning thousands of pounds from the right clients go to:

PS… Knowing how to write a profitable sales letter is one of those ‘in demand’ skills and demand is growing. With more and more businesses moving online, the need for quality written sales letters is huge. The market is growing.

Industries, business methods and money making strategies may come and go, but companies will always need quality sales letter writers.

Follow The Yellow Brick Gumroad… It’s Paved With Gold!

In a previous article I talked about the couple who were making £10,000 a month dressed as Tarzan and Jane using subscription platforms Only Fans and Admire Me.

Today I want to tell you about another platform which has been designed specifically for beginners to sell all different kinds of digital media.

No technical skills are required.

It is perfect for anyone who is interested in online marketing and selling products such as:

  • Ebooks
  • Courses
  • Printables
  • Subscription focused membership products

The platform I’m talking about is called Gumroad.

With Gumroad being a purpose built platform, you do not need to build a website of your own.

As Gumroad put it, you…

Open Account > Add Product > Start Selling > Get Paid > Repeat

Unlike a lot of the other platforms which offer a similar service Gumroad do not charge a monthly fee.

Kajabi which is similar charges between $149 and $399 per month to use their system and they charge 2.9% on each transaction plus a $0.30 charge on all transactions.

It is free to start using Gumroad, you only pay on sales made.

Transaction fees start at 9% plus a $0.30 charge on all transactions but that goes down to 2.9% if you make $1,000,000 or more.

You pay less as you grow.

The fact that you can open an account and start selling without having to pay out any hefty monthly fees is pretty good for anyone who wants to get started selling digital products.

On the website it suggests that you start by selling a blog post instead of an eBook.

This is a great way to test the system and get started…

Instead of spending days or weeks creating an eBook, spend a couple of hours writing an informative and useful article and upload it to sell for a pound or two.

You want to see how it works and putting up a cheap article for sale allows you to do just that.

Only this morning I read about a woman who decided to test Gumroad for herself after hearing a lot of positive hype about the platform.

She sold 5 copies of her eBook in the first month without doing any marketing… which is great when you consider that she didn’t expect to sell any.

It seems that Gumroad is a platform which helps sell your products for you. Similar to Amazon.

Gumroad also allows creators to set up an affiliate network which means that other Gumroad users can promote your products for a commission.

This is a great way to get your products out in front of more customers and build an email list.

I really like that feature as it means that you could have a readymade network of people who could promote your product for you.

The more people who promote your product or products for you, means more money and/or a bigger email list.

Creating a product where you give most of the money earned away as commissions is a great way to develop an email list… and as you should know by now, the email list is where the real money is.

During lockdown I generated over £4,000 in one weekend promoting a product which I had not yet created.

I had an idea which I believed people would be interested in and so I wrote a short sales letter, added it to my website with a payment processer page and sent a very short email to see if there would be any interest in the product.

There was.

That product went on to make tens of thousands of pounds during lockdown.

That was all possible because of the fact that I have a good sized email list.

Having an email list is one thing I recommend everyone should have.

You can make a lot of money selling products to an email list… and as you have just seen from my example, those products don’t even need to be made, they can just be ideas waiting to be made.

Is This The Most Powerful Quote Ever?

I’m going to start today’s article with one of my favourite quotes.

‘Failure to plan is a plan to fail.’

There is a powerful truth to that quote which no one can deny.

If you do not have a plan to follow, then you will fail.

It’s as simple as that.

It’s like driving.

You cannot get to a specific destination without first consulting a map or using a satnav…

And you cannot enjoy a specific result if you do not follow a plan.

This is where most people go wrong.

Many people try something new like trading the markets, trade football games or start a business blind.

They don’t have a real idea as to what to do, so they try a few things a few times.

A person starting up as a freelance writer may email one or two people because they know other writers have been successful at getting writing jobs sending out cold calling emails.

But when they get no replies they give up and try something else.

The successful freelance writer who found work sending out cold calling emails would have a plan similar to this:

  1. Email 10 people each day for 30 days.
  2. Record the names of who I email in a spreadsheet and the responses to my emails.
  3. Send follow up email 5 days after the original to those who have not replied.
  4. Send 2nd follow up email ten days after the original.
  5. Mark those who don’t reply after 3 emails as ‘unlikelys’.
  6. Find more people to replace the ‘unlikelys’ and rinse and repeat.

By emailing ten people each day over 30 days and then following up two more times on those who don’t reply will result in the freelance writer finding work and building up a network of friends and clients.

By finding new people to email replacing those who didn’t respond, the writer will grow their network until they are at a point where they no longer need to go looking for work.

The freelance writer would be successful because they had a plan which they followed rigidly. They wrote their own rules.

A person who decides to try their hand at spread betting without a plan will open up an account and start opening up trades on markets and watch in horror as the trade goes against them, but knowing that the market could ‘bounce back’ any minute, they leave trades open only to find that the markets bomb and they lose a ton of money.

A successful trader may have a plan similar to this:

  1. Trade only when the market appears it is about to turn and ONLY at that point.
  2. Cash out of the trade when you have made a 15% profit.
  3. When trade goes against you, cash out when the loss hits £20. Do NOT keep the trade open. Move onto another market.
  4. Do not re-enter a market until it is at the point of turn. No dipping in to follow the ride.
  5. Protect your money. Do NOT take any unnecessary risks.

This is not a real trading plan by the way, it is just an example, but seasoned traders are disciplined and follow a rigid set of rules they write for themselves.

Following a set of rules is the difference between success and crashing and burning spectacularly.

Plans really help at the beginning. They keep you focused and disciplined.

They allow you to learn and build confidence as you go by reducing the risk of failure.

They prevent a lot of wasted time and effort too.

Eventually as you begin to understand better the things you are doing, you can alter your rules to match your improved abilities.

A person wishing to make money trading football on Betfair can soon lose a lot of money if they simply throw money on games without using any selection criteria.

A professional football trader may have a strict set of rules to follow similar to this:

  1. Only trade the Under 2.5 Goals market.
  2. Both teams to be equal with no more than 1 point between them.
  3. Both teams to have scored no more than 2 goals in their last 3 games.
  4. Use only £10 stakes.
  5. Cash out for a 25% profit or after 25 minutes if no goals have been scored. Cash out for whichever comes first.
  6. If a goal is scored within the first 25 minutes, wait for the market to settle then cash out for a loss and find another game.
  7. Every £100 added to the bank, increase stake by 10%.

I’m not saying that a football trader does use the above; I wrote it as an example so that you get an idea about what I mean when I say write your own rules and work to a plan.

A plan and a set of rules keep you focused and help you to avoid making costly mistakes. They increase your chances of success.

It’s a bit like keeping your eyes open when firing a gun.

If you close your eyes and then take aim, you could be way off your target… which isn’t ideal if your target happens to be someone coming at you with a large axe intending to do you harm!

One person who I know that makes between £750 and £1,725 tax free money each month trading the markets using a specific set of rules is my good friend Kate Davis.

Kate makes between £50 and £185 most mornings while working out in her gym before starting work… which is why we call her the treadmill trader.

She follows a simple set of rules which reduces risk and rewards her with big profits.

If you would like to know more about Kate, what she does and learn her rules go to:

PS… Did I mention the £750-£1,725 per month Kate earns is TAX FREE?

Oh… and you don’t need to work out when you do it either. That’s optional.

£10,000 Per Month Dressing Up As Tarzan And Jane… Yes, Seriously!

I’ve seen some incredibly strange things make money over the years, but this is one of those stories that even I find hard to believe… but, as we know, different horses for different courses…

Different people like different things… as you’ll soon find out.

Terri and Michael Martin are a young married couple from Bristol here in the UK who are making around £10,000 a month sharing pictures and videos of themselves dressed up as fictional characters such as Tarzan and Jane.

I kid you not!

The pictures are – I believe – on the raunchy side. I don’t know how raunchy, and to be honest looking at both of them, I don’t want to either.

I don’t mean to be disparaging, but they are hardly a young Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

They have a look about them which reminds me more of 80s comedy pair ‘Little and Large’ and the legends of silent movies, ‘Laurel and Hardy’.

Sexy they are not!

Take a look and decide for yourself: Terri and Michael Martin

Yet… here they are making £10,000 each month from people who are paying to see their pictures and videos.

So what does that tell you?

It tells me that either I don’t know what ‘sexy’ is these days… or they have managed to nicely tap into a unique and profitable niche.

I’m opting for the latter.

Terri and Michael both quit their jobs during lockdown to focus on running their raunchy online business.

It is a full time job taking adult focused pictures, sharing them online while chatting with paying fans, but the rewards are clearly worth it for the pair.

The couple charge £12.99 per person, per month or £124.70 for a whole year if you pay upfront.

It started when the couple began a TikTok channel broadcasting live from their hot tub.

There’s always a hot tub involved somewhere!

Don’t ask me what they were doing, I haven’t got a clue but I don’t think TikTok allows anything too risqué… but I could be wrong.

I just don’t know anymore!

Thousands of people began to tune into their live broadcasts.

The popularity of the live hot tub broadcasts led Terri to open up accounts on Only Fans and Admire Me where she uploaded content which could be accessed only by paying a subscription fee.

This was a good decision on her part.

Thanks to an influx of paying fans, Terri was soon able to leave her job as a shop assistant and focus more on her new business.

Husband Michael began to get jealous of Terri spending all of her time on the phone answering messages and chatting to fans. He wasn’t happy…

Terri then told Michael that she was getting a lot of requests for pictures and videos of the two of them together and so he too joined her in the venture which now rakes in around £10,000 per month.

Michael left his delivery driver job not long after to concentrate on the business.

He says that the work involved is like any other job in that it requires 40 or so dedicated hours a week.

It isn’t as simple as taking a few photos, adding them online and then sitting back and counting the money.

But it is far better than working a manual job because the money is obviously far better, the work isn’t strenuous and they both enjoy what they do.

They share their content on Only Fans and Admire Me which are platforms popular with adult stars who like to share explicit content.

Only Fans isn’t strictly for adult content but it has become incredibly popular over the years with adult starts because of its easy to use subscription system.

Both Only Fans and Admire Me offer a subscription based membership website without the need to spend time and money having one built for you.

People can open up a profile today and potentially start to make money once they have been approved.

You could open up an Only Fans account and use it to run any kind of business where people are happy to pay you a monthly fee to access information and content.

However, I recommend using other platforms such as Patreon for non adult focused businesses as Only Fans’ popularity and reputation for adult content may be a hindrance to a more wholesome business.

The story about Terri and Michael highlights the power of the subscription business model.

Apart from the constant ‘chatting’ with fans, which is part of the subscription fee, the content is basically done once and then shared online with multiple paying people.

To earn £10,000 a bricklayer needs to spend months building walls or a building of some description for one or two clients.

For £10,000, a subscription business can require as little as a short video being recorded and upload online.

That example does depend on what the content is, how many subscribers the subscription business has and how much those subscribers pay.

Obviously I am not suggesting for one minute that you and your nearest and dearest start dressing up as popular fictional characters and share raunchy photos online for money – unless you are into that kind of thing – but you can clearly see how doing something once and sharing it to hundreds or thousands of people for a fee can create a large monthly income.

500 people paying just £9.99 each month is £4,995.

Minus any platform fees, that would be somewhere around £4,500 for sharing specific content which is seen by 500 people.

That content could be no more than ten pieces of content which could take as little as a day to create.

Imagine having 1,000 people paying to have access to your content.

Today, thanks to the technology we have at our disposal, each and every one of us can create content and publish it online within a matter of minutes and have that content seen by thousands of people for many years to come.

Thanks to platforms like Only Fans, Admire Me, Patreon and a whole lot more, we can start a subscription business today without any financial outlay or having to learn any new technical skills.

If you can post to Facebook, you can post to any of those platforms I have named.

The opportunity available to us today is mind blowing when you really sit down and think about it.

And it doesn’t have to be in the adult industry either as you will see in this article I published here:

How To Cash In With A Subscription Based Business

Subscription businesses are a fantastic way to make money and from what I can see, subscription businesses are growing in popularity and there appears to be no slowing down.

They are simple to set up and easy to manage.

Is this something you should consider as a way to make extra money each month?

Kind regards

John Harrison

PS… Memberships and subscription businesses are about sharing content which either informs or entertains.

The content could be one or more of the following.

  • Written in posts or in downloadable PDF
  • Audio like podcasts or music
  • Video
  • Photos and images

It doesn’t matter what the content format is, as long as it is good and delivers what the subscriber is paying for.

Food, Mortgages, Gas, Electricity, Petrol, Everything’s Going Up! ….You Need To Be Doing This.

It’s true… the cost of living is going up.

Recently it has been so severe; one poverty stricken OAP named Elsie has seen her energy bill increase from £17 to £85 a month.

£85 would buy gas and electricity for five months, now it pays for only one month. The increase happened overnight.

77 year old Elsie is not working, her bills have gone up, but her pension payments haven’t increased to compensate.

Elsie has resorted to eating one meal a day and riding on busses throughout the day to avoid using heating and electricity in her home.

God knows what she would have done if she didn’t have a free bus pass.

It’s nice to see Prime Minister Boris Johnson proudly take credit for issuing a 24 hour bus pass allowing the woman to ‘keep warm’!

If that doesn’t tell you that you should never rely on politicians or the state then nothing will.

How does a pensioner suddenly find four months worth of money each month as seen in Elsie’s predicament?

There are times where the cost of living is worse than others, but the one thing we can be sure of, is that the cost of living will always rise in one way or another.

It’s an unavoidable progress of life.

Yes, there are ways to reduce living costs such as disconnecting from the national grid and powering your house using solar and wind energy.

That would reduce your electricity supply costs down to zero.

However…

It will cost a small fortune to set up, will require maintenance and some countries will not allow you to completely disconnect and go completely ‘off grid’.

You are going to need money to either pay for the increase in living costs or to buy the equipment to go self sufficient in an attempt to reduce living costs.

So unless you are already wealthy enough to ride out the increases or to set yourself up ‘off grid’, you are going to need more money.

You need to have a backup system which can bail you out when times like these strike…

On top of the increase in living costs, there are fears of a new recession looming.

It’s not surprising really.

When people are struggling to afford to simply live, forced to decide between eating or heating their homes, it is going to have a knock on effect on other sectors of the economy.

If people cannot afford to pay their bills, they won’t be going on holiday, they won’t be eating and drinking out regularly or buying clothes.

They will reduce all unnecessary spending just to survive.

If there has ever been a time where you have needed to make some extra money, now is it.

Recessions and cost of living crises all have an effect on the markets… which is good for you.

When markets go up and down, you can make money.

A bit like surfing…

Where you wait for the water to turn and form into a big wave which you ride until it starts to turn again at which point you jump off.

That is exactly what our good friend Kate Davis does every morning before going to work.

While she is working out in her gym, she rides the waves of the financial markets generating herself a nice extra tax free bonus.

Knowing that you are starting the day with an extra £50 or more is a great feeling.

Kate usually earns between £50 and £185 each morning… that is before going to work.

It’s a great position to be in.

You’ll be pleased to know that she doesn’t possess any special skills or knowledge other than those she learned.

Skills and knowledge that anyone can learn… you included.

Kate was mainly self-taught with a little guidance from her father, but you don’t need to figure it all out for yourself as Kate is more than happy to teach you what to do.

If you would like to learn exactly what Kate does to generate an extra £750-£1,725 a month while working out in her gym each morning, go to…

How To Make Money Talking About Seriously Boring Stuff

I recently read about a guy named Christopher who makes around £4,000 each month writing about incredibly dull topics.

His highest paying month was £5,600.

The money comes from people visiting his website looking for answers to questions they may have such as:

  • Why is grass green?
  • Is water wet?
  • Is a banana a berry?

While most people are writing articles about cool and interesting topics in popular markets, Christopher writes about the obscure and dull things people want to know more about which never gets written about.

He looks for the obscure questions people search Google for, checks to see if there is little competition in the way of answers and then writes about them.

Using the same keywords and phrases which people use to search Google, he can land his articles on the front page of the search results.

Writing about obscure topics that no one else writes about which are being searched for by loads of people means that his front page placements give him a lot of FREE traffic.

The articles he writes and publishes are between 1,000 and 1,500 words long and are drenched in adverts which is how he makes his money.

People either click on the adverts earning him money, or the large avolume of visitors to his website generates a lot of page views which in turn creates a lot of advert impressions which he will also be paid for.

Because very few people are writing about the same subject matter that he is, Christopher has little competition and dominates the search results.

Sometimes doing the exact opposite of what other people are doing and intentionally focusing on the boring can be incredibly profitable.

Who’d have thought that writing about dull topics could be so profitable?

There’s a profitable business for everyone, you just need to look at what others are doing, and then sometimes look the other way to see if you can fill a gap that others have missed.

You might find that just like Christopher, you can clean up with relative ease.

I have said many times before, having a website can be an incredibly profitable investment. A website can cost as little as £150 for two years but the amount of money a website can make can be thousands of pounds a month… sometimes per week…

Compare that to a business which requires a real brick and mortar building such as a shop or workshop, you simply cannot compete.

To cover the cost of a website at £150 for two years, you would need to earn just £0.20 a day.

How hard is it to make just twenty pence?

Aim to make just £1 a day and you will more than quadruple your investment.

That is just one pound a day.

If one out of 100 people buy a product for £1, then you only need 100 visitors to your website each day. That is roughly 3000 people a month.

That isn’t a lot in the way of traffic. Many websites get that in a day, some have tens of thousands of visitors each day.

Sell a product – or several – priced between £2.99 and £19.99 from your website, and you could be earning a lot more than £720 over a two year period.

EBooks are fabulous little products as they can take very little time to create and can be sold online 24 hours of each day using a fully automated system.

The fully automated system processes the payment and delivers the eBook. You do nothing other than point people towards your website.

If you are not sure how to build your own website, watch the video here:

How To Build A Website Fast

In the video, our techy guy Andi shows you how to build a simple website in 15 minutes.

A website ideal for selling digital products such as eBooks in a price range from £2.99 up to £97… possibly more.

Yesterday I read about a woman who built a five figure a year passive income in a weekend by creating a simple eBook which she sold from her website.

The whole five figure income stream was built and switched on within one weekend.

In my humble opinion, there is no reason as to why you cannot do the same.

Watch the video now to see how easy it can be to build your own profitable website.

How To Profit Twice From Trading Sports

I have talked about monetising the knowledge and skills you have many times before.

There is a reason for that…

It’s a great way to make money.

Only today I came across a young chap who is making money trading sports on Betfair AND earning money showing others what he is doing.

It looks to me that he only started to share his knowledge in the last year.

I see a profitable future ahead of him.

He shares videos on YouTube which help people and has now set up a Patreon account where people pay him either £3 or £8.99 a month to learn sports trading using Betfair.

He currently has 15 paying subscribers on Patreon.

If all of those subscribers are paying £8.99, he would be earning £134.85 per month minus Patreon’s fees.

It’s not a huge amount… but I believe it will grow to several thousand per month due to the quality of the information he gives away for free on YouTube.

£8.99 a month is nothing if what you learn earns you hundreds or thousands of pounds back.

If he keeps adding new content to YouTube, he will attract a lot of followers which will in turn produce more Patreon subscribers.

His first video was added to YouTube eight months ago and I believe his Partreon account was started a month or two after that.

He currently has just under 2,000 subscribers on YouTube and his 21 videos have racked up an impressive 58,000 views between them.

If he is in the YouTube Partner Programme, he would also be generating an income from the advertising which is shown on and around the videos when they are viewed.

So as well as earning money from trading sports using Betfair, he is earning money from Patreon, possibly from YouTube and I wouldn’t be surprised if he was earning money from promoting Bet Angel, the software he uses for trading.
