If You Could Live On A Cruise Ship, Would You?

This weekend I read an interesting article which shared the story of a 28-year-old American chap named Austin Wells who has recently paid £246,465 to purchase a 12-year lease on a studio apartment onboard the luxury cruise ship, the MV Narrative.

Mr Wells will be working and living on the ship fulltime while travelling the world.

The MV Narrative is still under construction in Croatia and isn’t due to hit the open waters until 2025.

The cruise ship will have 500 private rooms and apartments, a private gym, a library, and a farmer’s market.

Those living onboard will also have access to medical services, 24-hour room service and private kitchens.

On top of all of that, the ship will have 20 restaurants and bars, a school, a bank, a cinema and a swimming pool.

It will be a floating town travelling the world.

Wells is currently a resident of San Diego in California where apartments on average cost around £2,053 per month, his apartment on the MV Narrative will cost somewhere around £1,643, a saving of £410 per month… it may be more by the time the ship set sails.

Wells said in an interview with CNBC, “The thing that most excites me is I don’t have to upend my daily routine, in order to go see the world.

“My working hours will be shifted towards evenings, nights and very early mornings, but that does open up the ability for me to see a city midday to afternoon.

“This is probably the first time ever that there is even the ability to have a standard job and even consider working and living from a floating apartment complex.”

Wells’ apartment will be 237 square feet and comes with a desk to work at, a shower room, pantry and a foldaway bed.

There are 11 different types of apartments on the MV Narrative which will be home to around 1,000 residents.

Alister Punton and Shannon Lee, the bosses of luxury residential ship brand Storyline, came up with MV Narrative because they ‘wanted to offer more affordable apartments for life at sea’.

I’m sharing this story with you as a follow up to a previous article where I talked about how more and more countries are embracing ‘digital nomads’.

It didn’t say what Austin Wells did as a job, but I can only assume that as a resident of the MV Narrative and not staff, he will be working online.

Wells is a digital nomad who will be seeing the world and earning money at the same time.

I’ve said it before and I will say it again… many times… we are living at the best time ever in all of human history to be able to make money on the go and from the comfort of your own home.

You can even make money from the palm of your hand while relaxing in the comfort of your favourite chair.

That’s how good it is today.

Yes, there is a current cost of living crisis, yes, people are currently struggling, but no matter how hard it is at the moment, people are in a far better position today than any time in the history of the world to earn extra money from their own homes in their spare time.

I’ve just shared the true story of a guy who is going to be living on a cruise ship for 12 years in the middle of the largest oceans, hundreds of miles from land, and he will be earning money.

If that doesn’t tell you how good we have it, nothing will.

The reasons most people fail to make money online in any shape or form are:

  1. Lack of courage to either make a start or carry on when the going gets tough.
  2. The lack of discipline to stick to something and to master it and see it through to fruition.
  3. Not actually knowing what opportunities are available to them.

There are so many opportunities available today; it could take me all day to list them.

A lot of people simply want to make money; they don’t want to earn it working an online job.

That is also fine as there are many methods and systems available to make money which doesn’t require you to start a freelance business or work remotely for a company.

A perfect example of that would be Paul Bent and his Shotgun Sniper Strategy.

Paul uses a specific piece of software that allows him to place bets on several horses in a race which increases his chances of winning and making a profit.

After identifying races with the right criteria, Paul sets the software to do its job.

It takes just ten minutes to set up and unlike other systems where you try to predict which horse will win, with this you use a backdoor way of winning money where you don’t care which horse actually wins the race.

PS… It takes around 10 minutes each day to identify which races to bet on and to place the bets. This is something you can pick up and drop at will if you wish and you don’t need to subscribe to a tipping service either.

Financing Your Freedom

The world is changing.

The days of having to have a job where you either worked for an employer or customers who are in your local vicinity are long gone.

Thanks to recent developments in technology the world of work has opened up to allow people to work from anywhere in the world, for customers from all over the world.

Self-employed freelancers are no longer working from an office in their home town; they are working from their homes… which can be anywhere in the world.

Even some employees can work from home remotely. We currently have a staff member who is living in Portugal. Everything that he does is done online.

We communicate via email or phone, and the work he does is delivered via email or added directly to websites and social media profiles that he is able to access from where he is.

Again, because of advancements in technology, freelancers and remote workers now have the freedom to travel and earn a living. They no longer need to stay in the one place.

The day of the digital nomad is here.

More and more countries are creating visas specifically for digital nomads. The idea that a person can come to their country already earning a wage which they will spend in their country is incredibly appealing.

Governments are concerned about the people they let in being a drain on their economy and resources. With freelancers and remote workers, that fear is lessened due to the fact that they are already earning and are self sufficient.

I know for a fact that Andi, our guy in Portugal, has put thousands into the Portuguese economy already and has taken nothing out of it.

An economic migrant is no longer someone who goes to another country looking for work to earn money, it now also means someone who goes to a country and puts it into the economy.

Unlike the 1980s when British builders popped over to Germany during the recession to earn money to send back to family in the UK as seen in the popular television show, Auf Wiedersehen Pet, migrant workers can now come into a country and bring money with them which they spend in the local community.

Each country is different with their requirements, for example Romania’s one year digital nomad visa income requirement is €3,950 (£3,397) per month.

Iceland’s visa is for only six months and they expect a monthly income of €7,075 (£6,084).

Greece has a one year visa with the possibility to extend to a residency permit. Their income requirements are €3,500 (£3,010) per month.

Malta has a yearlong visa with a €2,700 (£2,322) monthly income requirement.

Hungary also has a one year visa with their income requirements set at €2,000 (£1,720) per month.

Portugal is also creating its own yearlong digital visa.

Andi was able to get there using a D7 visa which was originally set up for people earning a ‘passive income’ even though he is actively earning an income.

That shows that Portugal is becoming more flexible and happy to take in remote workers, although, the D7 lasts only for three months, Andi and his good lady are required to have a meeting to be granted residency when the three months are over.

Originally they wanted to go to Spain but at the time the Spanish government would only allow EU citizens living in Spain to work for non Spanish companies.

Non EU citizens have to work for a Spanish company if they want to be a remote worker living in Spain which means that with Andi being British working for us, a British company, he couldn’t go there.

But that’s about to change.

Spain is working on their own digital nomad visa which will allow a person to live there for five years as long as they earn around €2,000 (£1,720) per month.

Five years is an incredible amount of time. It goes to show that more and more countries are embracing the idea and waking up to the new world.

I’ve only touched on a few European countries that are opening up their doors to digital nomads, but more and more countries are doing it.

Thailand is also opening up its doors to digital nomads with a four year visa but the Smart Visa is aimed at more professional types who are earning over £65,000 a year meaning that you must earn around £5,400 each month.

I’ve mentioned Thailand for a reason, and that is that I know a person who lives in Thailand and he earns his money trading the financial markets.

A digital nomad is really someone who can earn money wherever they are in the world using the digital domain.

If you can connect to specific websites and apps, you can make money in the digital domain.

You too can become a digital nomad.

You do not need to be a remote worker working for a specific company, and you do not need to offer a specific service.

Countries are welcoming people who are already earning money. How and where that money is being earned is often irrelevant.

Some countries frown upon gambling and trading for religious and moral reasons and so people who make their money that way may not be approved for certain visas.

But thanks to services like NordVPN, websites such as Betfair and IG can be accessed and used in territories where they have been blocked.

Although I do suggest that you double check that you won’t get a long prison sentence before placing £5 on the favourite for the 14:30 at Kempton.

One of the things that is most appealing about the digital nomad lifestyle is the fact that you can actually get more for your money and live a better and more rewarding lifestyle in a country that is a lot more affordable than the UK.

For example, in the UK the average council tax in 2022-23 per dwelling is £1,493. Over the ten month pay term that equates to £149.30 per month.

In parts of Spain and Portugal, their equivalent tax for the whole year can be as low as that one monthly payment.

Rents can also be a lot cheaper.

An unfurnished three bedroom house in the middle of Andi’s home town here in the UK can cost the same rent as a furnished three bedroom apartment or villa that comes with decent views and possibly a swimming pool in Spain, Greece and Portugal… depending on the location of course.

Go to Thailand, Indonesia or India, and you could be living with views of long golden beaches and piercing blue seas.

That alone is a big pull for many digital nomads.

I mentioned that I knew a person who was living in Thailand making money trading the financial markets… did I tell you that it takes him no more than five to ten minutes a day?

If you would like to know exactly what it is that he does to make between £110 and £350 most weekdays which funds his life in paradise, click the link below:

The A Minus B System

Kind regards

John Harrison

PS… As far as effort is concerned, this is one of the easiest systems for making money that I’ve seen.

You don’t need to know a lot of facts, figures or information, you only need to work five or ten minutes in the morning and for that it will give you between £110 and £350 most weekdays.

What Would You Choose? A £450 Tattoo Or £17,153.68 TAX FREE?

Previously I have talked about a certain ‘socialist’ couple I know who were happy to ‘tax the rich’ and spend other people’s money, but hated it when they were taxed or had to pay their own living costs.

Don’t get me wrong, I am not against helping those people who are genuinely in need of help, I’m just not a fan of those who want me taxed to the hilt so that they can live a free and easy life.

I’m pretty sure you’d agree.

Do you want to work hard, earning your own pot of money, only for it to be plundered by lazy scroungers?

Well, I have recently heard that the socialist couple have split. The woman has decided to leave the relationship.

It is suspected that she is leaving for another person who… you’ll like this bit… has recently spent a lot of money on her.

There’s always ‘someone else’s’ money involved with these people!

There was talk that she was going to move out and get a flat of her own, but because she can’t afford the deposit, it seems ‘daddy dearest’ is giving her the money for the deposit.

There’s nothing wrong with family helping out family. Parents will always help their children when they need it.

The problem is… she couldn’t afford the deposit for a new flat… but she was able to afford £450 on having a series of new tattoos on her arm!

Apparently these tattoos are the start of a whole arm of tattoos she is having done.

They call it a ‘sleeve’ when the arm is completely covered in tattoos making up one piece of artwork.

When completed, that ‘sleeve’ tattoo could cost two or three thousand pounds.

Our techy guy, Andi, had a friend who had a sleeve done a few years ago for the tune of £2,000! Andi would refer to it as the ‘two grand tat.’

No, I don’t have a problem with people having tattoos as such either, it’s their money and their choice.

The problem is that there are some people who complain that they are completely skint, expect others to bail them out, and then they go and spend their own money on pointless stuff that they simply ‘want’.

This is a prime example of people choosing to spend money on what they ‘want’ over what they actually ‘need’.

What people ‘need’ is not fun or exciting. It isn’t sexy. Whereas the things people ‘want’ are fun to do or own.

A night on the beer is fun, paying your electricity bill isn’t. The cost of living itself is rather dull.

Choosing ‘want’ over ‘need’ can cause a lot of problems. It causes more ‘pain’ in the long term than the amount of ‘fun’ that was initially had doing it.

Helping people out when they genuinely need help is perfectly fine, but if the person you are helping is taking your money and then spending theirs on stuff they ‘want’ and not what they ‘need’, they are not learning the valuable lesson of standing on their own two feet.

They are selfishly using you and dare I say it… stealing your money.

OK, I may be a little harsh here, the tattoo was booked in advance and a deposit was paid which would be lost. The timing might be a coincidence.

I have previously written about how tattoos can cost you more than what you actually gain.

They may look ‘cool’, but a sleeve tattoo costing £2,000 could quite easily set you up for life.

Putting £2,000 into Betfair or a trading platform like IG could start you on your road to financial freedom and security.

In fact, the £450 spent on the tattoo by the woman I mentioned earlier would be a great starting point.

In the past I have talked about focusing on a small amount and then growing that amount with compounding.

If you started at just 1% a day on a £450 bank, you would aim to make £4.50. The following day that would be £4.54, so on and so forth.

On day 365, your target would be to make £169.84.

After one whole year of successfully compounding £450 at 1% per day, you will have £17,153.68.

Imagine what £2,000 would give you!

Obviously, with gambling and trading systems, it may not always run as smooth as that… but still, if you were able to grow £450 into £10,000 over the year, it’s far better than spending it on having ink stuck in your arm… isn’t it?

To be honest, if you turn £450 into just £2,000, that’s a better use of your money in my humble opinion, especially at these uncertain times. Who knows what your next gas or electric bill will be.

Some people are claiming that their mortgages are going up around £500 a month, that is a huge chunk of money to find and if they were able to take an initial £450 and turn it into thousands of pounds, it would be a huge help.

Our friend and veteran trader, Paul Bent, has developed a system which increases your chances of winning horse races by identifying the best races and selecting multiple horses to ensure that he wins the amount he wants to win.

This is a perfect system which would help to grow a small bank into thousands of pounds using the compounding method.

Aim to make £10 today, then £10.10 tomorrow, £10.20 the day after and so on and so forth until you are banking larger amounts each day.

Is This The Way Forward For A Passive Income?

Ideally, the best way to make money is to have a passive income coming in each month.

It is the dream for many.

A lot of people strive to create a recurring passive income because it means that money is being deposited into their bank each and every month.

Truth is, creating a passive income can require quite a bit of work at first, and unless you have a system in place which outsources the running and managing of a passive income, it is going to be a semi-passive income really.

I for one would happily have a semi-passive recurring income over no monthly recurring income.

The reason for that is that the work involved running a semi-passive income stream can actually be very little.

The way forward for your own passive income is…

Own a business which has people paying you a recurring monthly subscription fee.

Before you panic and say that this is something that is out of your reach… it’s not.

Subscription focused businesses are everywhere. They surround you. You probably pay for several yourself already.

Mobile phone and internet providers are recurring subscription businesses.

TV and music streaming services like those listed below, are subscription businesses.

  • Disney Plus.
  • Netflix
  • Amazon Prime.
  • Britbox
  • ITV Hub.
  • Acorn TV.
  • Spotify
  • YouTube Premium.
  • Amazon Music.
  • Soundcloud (subscribe to specific individual musicians and artists).
  • Mixcloud (subscribe to specific individual musicians and artists).
  • Patreon (subscribe to specific individual content creators).

It’s not just music and television which has you paying a subscription. Many online newspapers are the same.

It happens regularly, I see an interesting article on social media, click through the link to read more, only to find that the article is on one of the many newspaper websites which requires readers to pay a small subscription fee to read their articles such as the New York Times or the Times.

Amazon Kindle and Audible also charge a subscription fee to access their products.

It is the way of the world today.

Anyone and everyone is charging a subscription fee today.

What’s more, people are more used to paying subscription fees to access services and content.

That’s the point.

People are now so used to paying a small fee each month to access a product or service because they do it all the time.

Take music as an example, years ago people would buy records, tapes and CDs. Some music fans would spend a lot of money each month buying the latest releases.

Today, people stream music.

They have access to old, new and exclusive music 24 hours a day for the price of one album per month.

People also bought magazines from newsagents and supermarkets each month; some would subscribe directly and have them delivered to their homes.

Today, physical magazines are still being sold in newsagents and supermarkets, but like newspapers, a lot of them are now available online and charge a monthly subscription fee to access their content.

But it’s no longer the major publishers who are cashing in on these subscription business models.

Everyday people like you are making money selling subscriptions to products and services.

Thanks to the internet, the opportunity to build a subscription service where you can have a large number of paying subscribers is possible for anyone.

You could be living in a remote croft on Shetland, miles from the nearest neighbour, and still make money offering a product or service that has people paying you a subscription fee to access it.

It doesn’t matter where you or the customer is in the world; all that matters is that you offer something of value which is worth more than the fee you charge, and have a way to take and process payment.

Let’s say that you wanted to earn just £2,000 extra each month.

Here are the numbers you would need to make £2,000 at several monthly subscription price points.

£2.99 – 669 people = £2,000.31

£4.99 – 401 people = £2,000.99

£9.99 – 201 people = £2,007.99

£14.99 – 134 people = £2,008.66

£19.99 – 101 people = £2,018.99

Those figures do not include any fees that you need to pay to whichever payment processor you use.

As you can see, the cheaper monthly fee means that you need a larger amount of paying subscribers to generate the £2,000 target.

The larger the monthly fee such as £19.99, you will need less people.

A few things to remember here are:

  1. Thanks to the globally connectivity of the internet, you have the opportunity to find people from all over the world to buy your product or service. There is a huge pool of potential customers.
  1. A more expensive subscription product or service does not necessarily require more work to provide than a cheaper one.

The price of the product or service is a reflection of what it is and what it can do for a person. And so with that, it doesn’t necessarily take any longer to produce, in fact, it could be less.

A person providing a financial trading newsletter email at a price of £19.99 per month, may provide less written content than someone selling short fiction stories each month for the price of £4.99.

They would earn four times as much money for doing less work.

It’s all about what you provide and to whom.

It can take very little time to write a series of emails, update a website page, create a PDF newsletter or record a series of short video updates.

You do them just once, and get paid multiple times.

If you write four weekly email updates and sell them for a monthly subscription fee of £4.99, one customer would earn you just £4.99… but if you had 401 customers, those same four emails which you wrote would earn you £2,000.99.

It’s the same four emails.

The amount of work hasn’t increased, only the number of customers and the amount of income has increased.

I’ve given you a handful of price points, but there are some subscription businesses which charge £47, £97 and £197 per month.

You don’t need many people paying that to give you your desired £2,000. The more customers you get, the more money you will earn.

Once the income numbers are good, you can pay someone to do the necessary work allowing you to be completely hands off meaning that you now have a fully passive income.

Subscription businesses are the way forward for anyone who wants to earn a recurring passive income.

PS… Once fully established, you could be earning thousands of pounds each month from work which takes less than a day.

If You Think Making Money Is About Working Hard, You Need…

Making money is not all about hard work.

It really isn’t.

I could use that popular saying… work smarter, not harder… but that isn’t necessarily true either.

Making money can be incredibly simple if you choose the right method.

Yes, you can say that a person who decided to work as a middleman service and charge a high commission for putting two parties together is working ‘smarter’ than a person who works 160 hours of hard graft each month for the same amount of money.

It was a ‘smart’ move to decide to find a way that would pay a month’s wage in as little as 30 minutes.

It is working smarter, that is true… but it is also a case of making a simple decision to find something which gives you more money for doing less… or at least for doing something less hard and strenuous.

The idea that working hard makes you more money is flawed.

A person working in a quarry can work incredible hard.

He can put in as many hours overtime as possible and work nonstop for years without holidays, and still earn less than a person who spent only one week writing a short eBook.

Money is not just exchanged for hard work; it is exchanged for a multitude of ‘things’.

The price of those ‘things’ vary too.

An hour’s work can be worth thousands of pounds in one industry, whereas in another it can be worth just a few pounds.

Hard work is tiring.

Earning decent amounts of money does not need to be tiring. It doesn’t have to be physical or mentally demanding.

You just have to find something that people are willing to pay decent amounts of money for.

In a previous article I shared the story of Eric Martin as an example about how you can make more money by doing less.

Eric left his 9 to 5 job when he began making $2,500 (£2,100) as a General Contractor who introduced two groups of people who needed each other.

Focusing only on concreting services, he found customers who needed concrete work doing, and then passed the work onto a company who specialised in concreting.

All quite simple, really.

When passing the quoted price for the work to be done from company to customer, Eric put his £2,100 commission on top.

When a customer accepted the price and had the work done, Eric earned his huge commission. His involvement in the whole process generally took less than 30 minutes.

One job, which took half an hour to an hour, would pay him more than what he earned working a full month in his previous 9 to 5 job.

He could have multiple enquiries each month.

If just one customer per week accepted the quote and agreed to have the work done, he would earn £8,400 each month.

That amount can vary month to month.

It’s possible that he could earn a lot more. The opportunity to earn more is there because he is not a slave to a wage and working hard for an employer.

It wasn’t until I stopped working for other people that I became a millionaire, hence the name of my book How to Stop Working and Make a Million Pounds Instead. (Get your copy by filling in the form below.)

The ‘work hard’ myth is often touted by people who believe that the way to financial security is to have a ‘good job’ working for someone else.

Anyone in 2022 that still believes being employed means ‘job security’ or that you need to ‘work hard’ to make money needs their head examining.

You only have to look at Twitter as an example; thousands of employees have been given their marching orders by Musk as soon as he walked through the door.

The word ‘job’ is often referred to as the acronym J.O.B. meaning Just Over Broke.

Another American who is making a decent amount of money by doing very little is a chap called Bryan Tate.

Bryan takes down the address and details of any property he finds which is in a state of disrepair and forwards them to property investors and developers.

Whenever a property is purchased by those investors or developers, Bryan is paid a ‘finder’s fee’ which can be between £400 and £3,000 per property.

The properties that he finds are not necessarily up for sale.

They can be run-down little gems that he comes across while out on his travels.

Once he has passed the details over to the potentially interested parties, they do a bit of digging and if they are interested, they try and buy the property.

If they are successful and get a property for a decent low price, they pay Bryan a nice large finder’s fee for alerting them to the opportunity.

Now tell me, does that sound like a lot of hard work to you?

Imagine being paid £3,000 for simply finding a cheap property that has a lot of potential and then passing on the details to an interested buyer.

Make connections with five or ten serious property investors and developers and you could be doing one or two of these each month.

Making money is not always about hard work, it can be, as we have seen in these two examples, nothing more than being paid a commission to put two separate parties together.

To make the most money by doing less work – and that isn’t to say that there isn’t or won’t be work involved – find expensive items which are sought by wealthier and more affluent people, then contact those who are looking for them.

Charging a 5% commission on a mansion valued at £2 million will make you more money than charging 5% commission on a £10,000 concreting job.

Still, 5% of a £10,000 concreting job would give you £500 which is not bad if it took you no more than 30 minutes to arrange.

I’d much prefer 5% of £2 million though, wouldn’t you?

That would give you a cool £100,000!

Don’t forget, you aren’t doing any buying or selling here.

The work involved is nothing more than finding someone who has a specific item to sell and introducing them to someone who wants to buy it.

You get paid for putting them together.

5 Per Cent Of A Million

It Happened Again!

I never expected that!

Last week I wrote an article talking about how the sitcom Not Going Out starring comedian Lee Mack had based one of their episodes on the popular 1954 Hitchcock film Rear Window starring James Stewart.

Last night, when I finally settled down to relax in front of the television, I noticed something familiar about the episode of Whitstable Pearl that my wife was watching.

For those of you who don’t know, Whitstable Pearl is a drama based on a series of novels by Julie Wassmer.

It is set in Whitstable, Kent, and follows Pearl, an ex-police officer, single mother and restaurant owner, who decides to become a private detective on the side…. as if she doesn’t have enough on her plate!

At first, Pearl becomes an annoyance to Mike, the tall, dark, and handsome detective who has just moved to the area.

While trying to solve crimes that were happening in the small fishing town, his path crossed with Pearl’s on many occasions. Eventually the pair become friends and allies working together to solve crimes… with a sprinkling of sexual tension thrown in as expected.

In this episode, Mike is laid up with a leg injury after being tackled badly playing five-a-side football with his police colleagues.

Being housebound and unable to do much, Mike spent his day looking out of his rear window at the apartments across from him. And as I’m sure you can guess, he spots some unusual behaviour between a married couple in one of the apartments.

Concerned that the husband was planning on killing his wife, Mike tells Pearl what he had seen and so she decides to join him one evening for a ‘stakeout’ to watch the apartment and see if anything sinister happens to the wife.

Spotting the husband with the knife heading up to the bedroom, Pearl hotfoots it out of Mike’s apartment and across the street to try and prevent the murder of the wife only to find the husband dead on the bed.

Like all new versions of classic stories, there is a twist. I won’t tell you what the twist is in case you want to go and watch the show for yourself.

What I found interesting is that just over a week after writng that first article where I talked about Rear Window; I am once again watching a television show using it as the inspiration for the episode.

As I said in that previous article:

There’s Nothing New Under The Sun!

That’s twice in two weeks that I have seen television shows which have been based on that one 1954 film… which itself was based on a book from 1942.

As I said in that previous article, you can’t simply take another person’s work and pass it off as your own, but you can use it as inspiration and create something new with a twist.

I also said that very little is actually unique.

The story of a man witnessing a crime from his window cannot be fully copyrighted due to the fact that millions of people across the planet witness crimes from their windows.

It must be quite a common thing really, as are detectives investigating a crime.

While writing this I have experienced a flashback… I believe, if my memory serves me well, the BBC drama Father Brown did a similar story where he too was housebound and witnessed criminal activity from his bedroom window.

It’s quite a common theme.

It’s not just fiction that you can reference and turn into a new product.

Someone somewhere wrote the first book about how to write a profitable sales letter and become a well paid copywriter, and since then, there have been hundreds of copywriters and publishers who have also published books on that subject.

They use their own personal experiences and stories, but the actual bones of their product, is the regurgitation of copywriting principles which have been around for well over 100 years.

How many authors have written books on how to write a book?

Yes, each author has their own style and preferences, but writing is writing… it doesn’t differ that much between people really. The books all have a lot of similarities and share the same main writing principles.

Truth is… there is very little stopping you from creating products which are similar to others. You just need it to be different enough to not be seen as being the same.

As long as you are not using their personal experience and knowledge and passing it off as your own, you should be fine.

Obviously you won’t steal something that one person has developed or invented which is completely unique. You cannot take new research that a scientist has just done and pass it off as your own or without acknowledging them.

There is a lot of money to be made if you take something old and modify and adapt it for a newer audience or even improve it so that it works better.

However

If that sounds like a lot of hard work and not something you want to get involved in, there are many other ways to make money.

Some are incredibly easy and can make a lot of money for little effort.

Such as Ian Williams’ Island Reversal Strategy.

Ian Williams is a professional trader who discovered, by accident, a simple ‘signal’ which indicated that the markets were about to ‘do something specific’.

Ian was surprised to spot the ‘hidden’ signal, because it was hidden in plain sight.

If it hadn’t been for all those years making money as a professional trader he wouldn’t have spotted it.

Once he realised what it was and what it meant, he knew that he had found an easy and simple way to make money.

He had been given a license to print moneya lot of money.

Ian also realised that it was actually easy to spot once you knew what to look for and that it could be learned quickly.

It takes just minutes to learn how to spot the signal and how to profit from it.

Once you know what to look for and how to use it, you can use it for a lifetime.

What’s more, this can be done from the comfort of your own home and so if you ever find yourself housebound with a leg injury, you’ll be able to spend time watching your neighbours out of your Rear Window AND make money.

DAX Trader Makes Over £3,000 In 2 Days

Yesterday I watched a short video of a professional trader make £1,669 in seven minutes trading the DAX after it crashed 340 points in the first hour or trading on March the 4th, 2022.

Markets go up and down all the time and this particular trader waited for the drop to bottom out before placing a buy trade for the countermovement. The result was a 48 point climb and a profit of £1,669.

That followed a profit of £1,355 from the previous day.

The DAX started dropping on Thursday the 17th of February and finally began to climb back on Wednesday the 9th of March.

Between the 17th of Feb and the 9th of March, the DAX was in a steady decline, but during the day, the down movement was often interrupted by short periods of upward movement.

This trader, like many others, focuses mostly on ‘buying’ when the markets swung back during the day.

He could probably make far more money if he were to sell and buy when the markets go up and down, but he preferred to watch and wait to spot when he thought there was a bounce-back starting and would ‘scalp’ money out of the market.

In that two day period, this trader had made roughly £3,024.

I say ‘roughly’, because the trader is a German chap who trades in Euros and the figures I have quoted are Euros converted into Pound Sterling at the time of writing.

The actual figure may be a few pounds more or less… but I’m sure you aren’t going to quibble over a few pounds here and there.

I don’t know how big his bank is or what amounts he was staking per point, but what I do know is that he made £3,024 in two days with two trades that lasted less than 20 minutes combined.

The DAX can be quite volatile meaning that it goes up and down regularly. But as we have seen, that volatility can be incredibly profitable for the right people.

The volatile nature of some markets scare people, but for those who know what they are doing, they absolutely love it.

A volatile market means that they can go in, crowbar a chunk of cash out of the market, and leave without anyone knowing… all within a matter of minutes.

This particular trader has been trading for over twenty years and thanks to trading he is completely financial free and now resides on a sunny island in the Med.

His method of trading is quite intense and requires people to watch the screen for a specific signal, and when he places a trade he has to monitor it and close the trade when he has made a decent profit.

There is another way to trade the DAX market where you don’t have to sit and watch it for hours on end.

With this method you check to see if there is a viable trade at the start of the day, set the trade if there is one, and then go about your day leaving it to do what it needs to do.

That’s it!

You may not make £1,669 with this… but that does depend on how big your trading bank is and what price per point you choose to use… that and how big your ‘cahoonas’ are.

But it is possible to scalp £200 or more a day with this method, which is a very decent amount for what you actually do.

Our friend David Houghton makes between £110 and £350 most weekdays using this method which takes just FIVE minutes to implement.

On occasions he has made several thousand pounds in a day, so it is possible, but usually he makes a couple hundred pounds a day.

If you were to make just £200 a day for five days of the week, that would give you £4,000 each month, which is £48,000 a year.

Now, I’m not saying that is how much you will make, but it’s possible if the right trades come along. The market dictates when you trade.

It’s a simple process determining whether there is an opportunity to trade.

You simply need to look at two sets of numbers and subtract one from the other. If there is a trade to be had, you set the trade in motion and leave it to do what it needs to do.

It takes no more than FIVE minutes in total.

The A Minus B System

John Harrison

PS… As far as effort is concerned, this is one of the easiest systems for making money that I’ve seen.

You don’t need to know a lot and you only need to work FIVE minutes in the morning and for that it will give you between £110 and £350 most weekdays.

£66,500 Per Month Selling Simple Digital Products

This morning I quickly scanned through a product which was teaching people how to create a recurring income product where they can earn a passive income through having other people sell it for them.

This was a course which was listed originally on the Warrior Plus marketplace.

Fergal Downes, the guy behind this product, creates products which he lists on both Clickbank and Warrior Plus.

He pays affiliates 75% commissions on all of the frontend products, including the upsells and downsells, and 50% commission on the one backend recurring product which subscribers pay $97 each month.

Basically, he has an army of affiliates sell the products for him.

In one of the videos he mentioned that he was earning £66,500 per month from his products.

What I found interesting in the videos I watched this morning is that Fergal was making a ton of money selling products which are incredibly simple to make.

The course that I was looking at this morning had 16 videos in total. The longest one was 21 minutes as he showed you around his Warrior Plus dashboard, the rest were between two and five minutes long.

There were a few videos where Fergal showed you specific pages or websites online, other than that most of them were videos of slides with a few bullet points and lines of text where he talked about what was written.

They were all very simple.

Forgetting the planning of the product itself and creating the website and sales material – which I believed he outsourced, the actual course creation (recording the videos) probably took no more than half a day.

I imagine that it took Fergal just a couple of hours to record the videos.

Fergal is making thousands of pounds each month for courses which are collections of short videos. I imagine his monthly membership which is paying him a recurring income is pretty similar.

I don’t have access to that product so I can’t say for definite, but what I do know is that he says he releases a new module each month which I am going to assume is much the same… short video content.

Fergal only creates two of the twelve modules before he releases his membership product to the public. He creates the rest once it is live.

The reason he does it this way is that he can lose money if he waits to release it once all the modules are recorded.

It’s best to get it out there and start making sales and then create the rest of the content while people are consuming the first two modules.

I agree with that 100%.

Get the money in and keep people paying by creating and releasing new quality content.

While people are paying you money and you are focusing only on the next month’s content, you can do a better job and create better content.

If you wait to release your monthly membership course until after all of the modules are done, you will feel pressured and after month six or seven, you may become a bit jaded and the quality may start to slip.

I’ve talked many times before about publishing information products and running subscription businesses to generate a passive income and Fergal is a perfect example of someone who is doing just that.

The reason I talk about it often is that it is a business model which is available to everyone.

It doesn’t matter where in the world you live, how old you are, what your technical abilities are and what you know… you have the opportunity to create products that you can sell online to people all over the planet.

People can buy products from you at any time of the day and night earning you a passive income.

And as I have mentioned many times before, those products can be a series of short videos or a simple short eBook.

They don’t need to be anything ridiculously complicated or long.

EBooks can be created by writing in Google Docs which is free to use if you have a Gmail account. Google Docs allow you to save your work as a PDF.

Videos can be created using software such as ScreenCast-O-Matic which is an easy-to-use online service costing as little as £25 for the whole year.

Creating digital information products is all a lot easier than most people realise.

What Is Your Relationship With Risk And Reward?

What is your relationship with risk and reward?

The reason I ask is that I recently spoke with a guy who was prepared to spend £10,000 of his own money to buy himself out of a contract – because he was feeling a little down – which would seriously put him out of pocket…

Yet he wouldn’t risk investing £1,000 to make money with which could buy him out of the contract and save him from losing £10,000.

When I asked him why he wouldn’t invest the £1,000, he said that he didn’t want to risk losing it, even though he knew the rewards could be huge.

That confused me a little as he was willing to lose £10,000 to buy himself out of a contract quickly when there was really no need.

It’s not for me to comment on what other people do or why they do certain things, but his attitude reminded me of those people who complain that they never have any money but as soon as they do, they go and spend it on tattoos, cigarettes, drink, and a whole range of stuff which doesn’t actually help them financially.

He was looking for a quick fix.

Instead of looking for a pleasure fix, he was looking for pain relief… which is itself a form of pleasure seeking.

He wanted instant gratification, a quick fix to end his current feelings of pain and anxiety.

Again, it’s not for me to judge, although I do openly question people’s choices, life is to be lived and enjoyed, but at what cost to your future?

The guy I was talking to was having a bad experience, his stress and anxiety levels were up and he wanted to escape from it fast.

However, logic dictates that – and from what I know of the situation he told me about – the bad experience would soon pass and be replaced with a better experience… but his initial reaction was to quit and run fast… at a potential personal loss of £10,000!

Yet he would not consider using £1,000 to make more money with which could alleviate any issues he may be having.

I found it interesting that he would not risk a small sum of money for rewards which could grow and compound into a bigger amount of money, but he would risk a lot of money to simply escape from a little bit of fleeting emotional discomfort.

Basically putting it, he would…

  1. Not spend money in case losing it caused emotional pain.
  2. Would happily lose a lot of money to alleviate emotional pain.

It’s fair to say that this guy has a negative way of dealing with emotional pain and discomfort.

Instead of realising that it will pass and that he should focus his efforts on relieving that pain by finding a solution to the problem, he was prepared to pay a small fortune to simply run away.

Now don’t get me wrong, I don’t believe in flogging a dead horse or throwing money at a problem that cannot be resolved, but most problems can be resolved and problems will occur in business.

This guy simply hit a small hurdle, didn’t like it and wanted out ASAP.

It wouldn’t be a good decision to buy out of the contract in my humble and honest opinion.

I gave him a few pointers and I think he went on his merry way with a feeling that things weren’t as bad as he first thought. Only time will tell.

He was simply scared of emotional discomfort. He didn’t enjoy feeling rubbish.

Truth is no one enjoys feeling rubbish.

No one enjoys having a rough time in business, and rough times will happen, but they don’t have to go on for long, nor are they the death knell for the business.

This guy was about to quit just because he hadn’t enjoyed the last couple of days.

When you are scared of emotional discomfort, you will not try new things. You will choose to quit and run away when things get a little uncomfortable, which is not good if you want to change your life or financial circumstances.

Courage is the one thing which makes people money.

It’s the courage to ‘start something new’ or ‘give something a go’ that takes a person from ‘zero to hero’, as some people like to call it.

Discomfort often comes after making a courageous decision and doing something which takes you out of your comfort zone.

Without courage and discomfort, people would not achieve anything.

If everyone played it safe, there would be no winners, no progress in society and no development of technology.

We as a species are where we are today thanks to courage and discomfort.

As an individual you are where you are today thanks to either being courageous and embracing discomfort… or from shying away from it and playing it safe.

Are you where you want to be?

The question is… if you are one to play it safe and avoid discomfort but you want to become financially better off, what are you going to do?

Playing it safe rarely delivers anything other than safe… which is great if you want a safe life… but for many people, the reality of living safe is actually living with a constant and ‘just bearable’ discomfort.

‘Just bearable’ discomfort is the kind of discomfort that most people will put up with and can live with… just, but it still makes them unhappy a lot of the time.

That long period of ‘just bearable’ discomfort is living years where you can barely scrape by, where you live from payday to payday. As soon as your wage or pension is in the bank, it is virtually gone within days.

The money you have is always allocated to something necessary and you rarely have any spare for anything fun and enjoyable.

It may not be as painful as the idea of losing £1,000 quickly (which you shouldn’t if you do things correctly), but constantly living with little money where you are unable to afford to do anything more than exist is a miserable discomfort.

It’s a miserable way to live.

But it doesn’t have to be the only way to live.

With a little bit of courage and discipline, you can turn a small sum of money into a larger sum of money.

In fact, it is possible to turn it into a rather large sum of money.

The guy who was willing to waste £10,000 to buy himself out of a little discomfort could potentially make £10,000 in less than half a year if he was willing to invest a small amount.

By the end of the year, he could potentially have £47,000!TAX FREE!

That is if he follows Roy’s system to the letter.

By following the system he developed after watching the 1983 film Superman 3 – I kid you not – Roy was able to double his investment every three months.

By the end of the year, he had taken a £500 investment and turned it into £47,000.

Not bad considering all he used was a notepad a pen, and the Betfair website.

How Just 10 Emails Made This Guy £2 Million!

This morning I saw the following post on Facebook:

What stands out to me the most in this post is that this guy has made just shy of £2 million selling a thin 70 page book which was not sold in bookstores… he self-published it online.

I’m not sure if that £2 million is from the sales of the book alone or if that includes the backend sales of his business services and products.

I don’t doubt that he has made nearly £2 million; he runs an agency that runs paid advertising campaigns for people and an online course where he teaches people how to correctly do paid advertising.

Whether he made £2 million from book sales alone or whether it included backend sales is irrelevant.

What I want to focus on is the fact that he self-published a book which was not sold in traditional bookstores and was NOT a long book like the Harry Potter novels… and yet he made £2 million! well, just slightly under. (£1,982,424 at time of writing.)

This was a thin 70 page book which was actually written by compiling a series of 10 pre-written emails to which he added an intro and an outro.

That’s it… simple!

If he was writing emails then it is safe to say that he already had an email list and a business before he published his book.

But that is also something I want you to think about.

We have a guy who…

  • Has made just under £2 million self-publishing a book which was nothing more than a collection of pre-written emails.
  • Has an email list to which he was able to sell his books and services to.
  • Now has a book which can bring in more clients, customers and adds new people to his email list.

The importance of creating and publishing your own eBooks and courses online and growing an email list cannot be underestimated.

They are an incredible way to make a passive income.

Having your own decent sized email list can give you the freedom you should be enjoying.

When you have an email list you can promote your (and other people’s) products and services generating money allowing you to spend your day’s doing more of what you really want to do.

Yes, some time is required to make products and grow your email list, but that doesn’t require as much time (or expense and effort) as you may imagine.

Patience and perseverance is key and once your email list starts to swell with names and your products begin to sell, you will never look back.

We sell products each and every day and they vary in prices from £47 to £1,997.

It’s rare that we go a day without selling at least one product.

It happens like that because we have built our business that way.

I can take a week off and I will still earn money because we have people coming to our website purchasing products.

That is real passive income… and it is available to anyone who wants it.

You don’t need to sell many products each week to make more than what most people earn in a month working 160 or more hours.

I truly believe that everyone should have their own email lists and products to sell.

I know that most people think that it is hard to do, but it really isn’t which is why I want to show you how to do it for yourself.

I have two products which show you how to build your own incredibly profitable online business.

One shows you how to create products that you can sell online to generate a passive income and the other shows you how to build your own email list to which you can promote those products to.

Both products complement each other and really should be worked on together in my opinion.

To get started, you can learn more about the first of those two products here:

30 Days To £30K

You’ll learn more about the second within the 30 Day To £30K product dashboard.

PS… As well as being shown how to create your own profitable digital products, you get all of the page templates you need to build your own online passive income business.

Who knows, one day may be posting to Facebook that you too made a small fortune selling your own books and products.
