Probably The Worst Ever Money Saving Advice Is…?

I’ve heard some interesting financial advice over the years, but yesterday was full of advice which had me wondering if I had woken up in a sit-com.

Firstly, the online side of The Sun newspaper was sharing money saving tips to help people during this current cost of living crisis.

Offering up advice which helps people during a crisis is never a bad thing, but the advice which was being offered isn’t going to help those who need to find an extra £200-£300 a month.

Take this great piece of advice….

The Sun is suggesting that you turn down your washing machine and do only 30 degree washes as this will save you a bill busting £12 a year!

One word… WOW!

Or should that be…

One word… USELESS!

The next piece of advice was to boil your kettle just once a day. I think that is what they are saying here…

If I understand it right, if you boil the kettle only once a day, you save a massive £15 a year! They say that boiling the kettle just once a day will cost you 8 pence which over a year will cost you £29.20.

I’m not sure where the £15 saving is coming from. If a person boils the kettle twice during the day and then drops down to only once a day, shouldn’t they save £29.20?

Unless they are using off-peak hours to calculate the saving but I don’t know many people who get up at 3 AM just to have a cheap brew.

Those like our techy guy Andi who drink bucket loads of tea each day, using the kettle just once a day would probably save them several thousand pounds.

But they’ll probably be miserable buggers.

Struggling to pay the bills is bad enough, but not being able to regularly enjoy a coffee or a tea during this tough time is simply going to make you more miserable.

Drinking cold water straight from the tap is fine, we need water and it’s cheap, but I don’t fancy doing it all day every day. Do you?

Thanks to The Sun, people can save £12 a year by doing a cooler wash and they can save £15 a year by using the kettle less.

So that is a grand total of £27.

That is really going to keep the wolf from the door, isn’t it?

Maybe I am being a bit harsh here, when you combine all of those savings together as seen in the picture above, you can probably save a few hundred pounds a year… but it’s not going to touch anything when your actual bills have trebled or even increased fivefold a month.

The last piece of advice that made me question my sanity was to buy a new kettle to save £10 a year on your electricity costs. I suppose if you use that new kettle only once a day then you’ll be rolling in money!

Or at least £25 better off.

Okay, there are people debating whether Boris Johnson (the British Prime Minister) actually meant that as a real suggestion or was using it as an analogy for people to make smarter decisions which lead to savings.

Maybe he could have said it better. There is a logic to it.

One guy worked out that his big American style fridge was costing £800 a year to run and so he intends to sell it and replace it with a small fridge which will cost far less.

When times are hard and your income is stretched to the maximum, trying to cut back and save money on things that you don’t need to use or need to do is a good way to help… but it’s not the only way… or even the best way.

If washing your clothes at 30 degrees Celsius is going to save you just £12 a year and using your kettle less is only going to save you £15, wouldn’t it be better to actually find a way to make more money instead?

I think so yes, even if at the very least you earn enough to allow you to enjoy more than one hot brew a day.

Time and money may be a factor for many people, but there are ways to make money which don’t require a lot of hard work or upfront financial outlay.

Success at doing something requires doing the right things at the right time and more importantly… doing it consistently. That means that you need to use a system or follow a strategy.

When you use a system or follow a strategy consistently you will make money.

You can’t do something now and then and expect to make decent money. You need to be consistent in your approach.

Fortunately, being consistent only means doing what is needed to be done which, depending on which system or strategy you use, could be as little as a half an hour’s work each day.

It doesn’t mean having to work a gruelling ten hour shift every day.

Systems and strategies vary but whichever you use, you need to use it consistently to get the best from it.

£5 today… £7 tomorrow… nothing on Sunday… £3 on Monday… £10 on Tuesday… may not sound like a lot of money, but those daily dribs and drabs add up to a lot more than the yearly savings that The Sun were offering up yesterday.

Never underestimate those small daily dribs and drabs.

Start small if you need to then grow those small amounts into larger daily earnings.

That is what John Lee did with his horse racing strategy.

Betting only on the races which qualified and compounding the winnings, John is now able to milk thousands of pounds each month from Betfair.

John uses the same system he developed 45 years ago, the same system that had him banned by several bookies for winning too much too often.

Fortunately times have changed and thanks to changes in how people gamble online, John is now able to make thousands in TAX FREE  money each month without fear of being banned or shut down.

He has been using this system for 45 years, and now it’s time to share it with people at a time they most need it.

PS… As I write this, today’s qualifying race (14:35 Ascot – horse City Of Kings – odds at time or research 1.86) has just won.

A £5 stake would have won £4.30.

A £10 stake would have won £8.60.

A £20 stake would have won £17:20…more than enough to pay for a few hot coffees!

Making small daily amounts which add up to several hundred pounds or more… is going to be a lot better than saving £15 a year only using your kettle once!

The Simple YouTube Videos Generating Thousands Of Pounds In Passive Income

I’m sure you heard that the last Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, died this week at the grand old age of 91.

Since the announcement of his death, an advert from 1998 for Pizza Hut featuring Gorbachev resurfaced and went viral.

This reminded me of something that I had read recently where people were making a decent amount of money on YouTube uploading old television adverts like the Pizza Hut one featuring Gorbachev.

In a previous article I mentioned how one woman was making a small fortune from buying up old magazines and reusing the old content inside as blog posts and articles on websites.

She was making a small fortune from buying those magazines from carboot markets and charity shops.

Apparently, there are people who are doing something similar by buying old video tapes from carboot markets and charity shops.

They search the markets buying up old video tapes – not official releases but those which people have recorded shows and films off the television – and they then trawl through them to find old television adverts.

The adverts are converted to digital media and then uploaded to YouTube.

Why? You might ask.

Well, people love nostalgia and many search for old television adverts that they loved when they were children. They are often fun talking points. People still sing the songs from old adverts or quote lines from adverts which they haven’t seen in years.

People love to watch old adverts.

Unlike old films which can often still be copyrighted and sold, adverts are not.

Take the film Grease for example, it was originally released in 1978 yet today it is still being sold. To buy or rent it on Amazon Prime you are looking at paying around £5 and so the owners would not want people uploading the whole film to YouTube for others to watch for free.

Adverts and old news clips are different.

They aren’t sold like films, they are created to sell products and services and so there is no real commercial loss. In fact, for some companies, there may be an indirect financial gain.

After seeing the Pizza Hut advert with Mikhail Gorbachev, I got an urge to eat pizza and so I imagine other people were the same and that some of them took themselves off to The Hut for their lunch.

Money is generated by being part of the YouTube partner program where you earn money anytime an advert is watched. Many adverts get watched thousands of times.

Adverts are shown on and around your uploads. When those adverts are shown and clicked on, you earn money.

As I write this, the Gorbachev Pizza Hut video has been watched over 2.6 million times!

If the owner of that specific upload is in the YouTube Partner Program and earned just 1 pence per view, he would have earned over £26,000!

The classic 80s ‘We hope it’s chips it’s chips’ advert for Birds Eye Steakhouse Grills has been seen 128,346 times as I write this.

You can upload the adverts as is, or you can do reviews of the adverts or compile several together. Giving your uploads a different spin to the other uploads will set you apart.

I’m not saying that you will become incredibly wealthy doing this, but you could make a decent semi-passive income by uploading these old clips online and make money whenever they are watched.

As well as YouTube, the adverts can be uploaded to other platforms such as Twitch and TikTok.

It’s possible that some companies may not want their old adverts showing and you may be asked to remove them. Remove them; it’s easy enough to do.

No one’s going to get into any major trouble sharing old adverts unless they were incredibly defamatory about the company itself.

A simple ‘cease and desist’ notice is the most you are going to get as law suits are costly. As long as you comply you will be fine.

If you fail to take down any old clips you have been asked to remove, it is likely YouTube would be informed and your account closed down, that’s the worst thing that will happen. But I doubt that it would come to that.

It’s a simple idea, and easy to execute. You will need a video player and a decent source of videos to find those classic adverts other people haven’t yet uploaded.

I’m not sure how many ‘personal’ videos are available to buy these days though. I imagine most people throw them in the bin and don’t consider selling them. But there maybe a few gems out there at carboot markets or even house clearance shops.

If that sounds like too much work and you would rather make money that doesn’t require you to trawl through carboot markets, charity shops and watch hours of video, then you may want to try The Perfect Strategy.

Using The Perfect Strategy Colin Ford extracts hundreds of TAX FREE pounds out of Betfair each week.

The Perfect Strategy is simple to do, simple to understand and doesn’t require you to sit and monitor Betfair all day.

You only need to trade a few races a day… very often no more than just one or two a day.

Don’t Let FOMO Make You Miss Out On The Life You Deserve!

I was saddened to see my bins being emptied this week by a guy who I recognised. He had previously came to look at the Ferrari I had several years ago when he was ten years old.

He was a big fan of Ferraris and he said to me “I want one of these one day”. Wanting to encourage him to go and get what he wanted in life, I gave him some advice.

I told him that if he worked hard at school (along with a few other pieces of vital life advice) that it was possible that he could have his own Ferrari when he was older.

He listen intently, even appeared to nod sagely as I shared my worldly wisdom.

Unfortunately, it would seem that as he grew older he either chose to ignore or he had forgotten that advice and fell into the trap of working for a living and spending his hard earned money on wine, women and song.

I might be wrong; it might all be part of his master plan.

Perhaps he did listen to my advice and is busy building up a pot of seed money to start his empire. One can only hope.

Either way, the story isn’t as profound as one that Tony Robbins would share… but then again, I doubt he would share how many times his advice has been ignored.

The moral of the story is… ignore the advice from the person who has the thing you want at your peril.

He wanted a Ferrari, I had a Ferrari, and I told him how to go about acquiring one. I don’t believe he followed my advice.

The boy was ten at the time and so I imagine that a lot of what I said was soon forgotten. Children are easily distracted by all things shiny, flashy and exciting.

That’s fine, that’s what children do. It’s quite natural. They are too busy enjoying a life without responsibilities.

The problem is when children don’t grow out of that behaviour and turn into adults who are still easily distracted by all things shiny, flashy and exciting.

There’s nothing wrong with getting excited and liking new and flashy things, its human nature. Humans are pleasure seekers and without seeking pleasure and excitement, we as a species may never have evolved into who we are.

However…

It’s a problem when people are unable to control those impulses which have them flitting from one exciting new thing to another.

In the film Star Wars, the Jedi Master Yoda told Luke Skywalker in an attempt to inform him of the seriousness of the journey and the importance of his study:

“Adventure. Excitement. A Jedi craves not these things.”

People who struggle to focus on the one thing they need to do and end up going to the pub with friends, trawling through YouTube watching entertaining but pointless videos or doing anything other than the thing they should be doing… are going to struggle to achieve the things they really want and need.

Chasing after the exciting shiny new object is a recipe for failure.

There will always be a shiny new object to replace the last shiny new object which quickly replaced the previous shiny new object.

Shiny new objects grab people’s attentions and they distract them from doing what they need to do.

It can be incredibly destructive to success.

You can be working towards a goal and just when you are within reaching distance of it, you stop and go and do something else instead.

That something else may be temporarily chasing gratification and excitement which leads to the slowing down of reaching the goal or even completely forgetting to go back to what you were originally doing.

Or worse, it could be to completely stop what you are doing and start something new putting you back to the beginning at square one.

Either way, it prevents you from achieving the results you want now.

People are terrible for the fear of missing out on something fun or new. It has become a widely used term lately; FOMO.

The fear of missing out and the inability to stop yourself being distracted are preventing people from become the successes they could and should be.

Fun, entertainment, comfort and ease seduce people away from the work required to achieve a goal.

And the truth is… there is no fun, entertainment, comfort or ease in being poor and unsuccessful when you could and should have been both.

Fun, entertainment, comfort and ease will soon be replaced with feelings of regret and depression when you realise what you actually missed out on when you weren’t missing out on things.

Missing out on a few things in life can be very good for you and can result in you enjoying more of the really important things in life.

Okay, I am not saying that you should not do anything fun and that you need to miss out, what I am saying is that you there should be a balance and an understanding as to what you can actually miss out on if you are constantly being distracted by those fun and exciting shiny new objects or events.

Two hours of solid distraction free work will always out trump six or even eight hours of disrupted work.

The more undisrupted work you do, the more your efforts will be amplified and the better your life will become.

Is This The End To The Good Old British Pub?

The BBC website reported that many pubs here in Britain could soon be forced to close due to the rising costs of energy.

One pub in Great Chesterford, Essex, has seen its £13,000 per year gas and electricity bill increase to £35,000 per year. The owner said that he needs to earn £1,800 a week extra to cover the costs.

To make the extra money, they will need more people to come in and to buy more food and drink, but that won’t be an easy task with food and drink prices increasing and the number of people visiting pubs falling as they too try and save money to pay for their own increasing bills.

One pub owner said that as well as electricity and gas bills growing, cooking oil had trebled in price and food costs were “massively starting to climb”.

At the start of 2022, inflation was eating into pub’s profits, now they have to deal with rising energy costs, rising costs to food and drink and falling numbers of customers.

The boss of Admiral Taverns, Chris Jowsey, who have a chain of 1,600 pubs said that his tenanted pubs now pay more in energy bills than they do in rent.

One of his tenants wrote to him saying that after 20 years as a pub landlord, he was leaving due to his electricity bill going up 450% – an increase so large he couldn’t pass it on to his customers.

In a previous email, I mentioned the Chinese takeaway in Aberdeen that stated that if they tried to pass on the rising costs to their declining numbers of customers, a chicken curry would be roughly £28… I dread to think how much a pint would cost at the end of the year.

Their energy costs had increased from £4,000 per quarter to £14,000.

We are currently living in a time which is both interesting and concerning. I’m not sure what to make of it all really.

I’ve heard rumours that Putin has reduced the supply of gas to Europe which can’t be good.

However, I have seen that sales of solar panels have increased due to the increases in energy prices. People are trying to become a little more self-sufficient and reliant, which is not a bad move.

So the news is up and down… but that is nothing new.

Every generation has experienced moments of doom and gloom, they have also experienced moments of growth and good times.

Let’s just hope that the next episode of growth and good times is not too far around the corner, because… let’s face it… it’s been a strange old couple of years and we are certainly ready for some good times.

But until those good times return, you need to ensure that you can comfortably ride out these tough times.

And the best way to do that is to make some extra money to help pay those increasing costs.

The price increases are not your fault, but paying them as best as you can is your responsibility.

Unfortunately I cannot see the government helping you to pay them. They certainly are not putting a stop to the increases which means that you have no other option but to pay them.

Fortunately, there are several ways to make money which are TAX FREE – let’s not give any more money to a government which won’t help – and easy to do… as long as you use the right system or strategy.

Our friend Colin Ford extracts hundreds of TAX FREE pounds out of Betfair each week using what he calls ‘The Perfect Strategy’.

The Perfect Strategy is simple to do, simple to understand and doesn’t require you to sit and monitor Betfair all day.

You only need to trade a few races a day… very often no more than just one or two a day.

PS… Even if you make a modest £20 a day doing this, that is £140 a week, £520 a month… that is surely going to be a big help for most people. This strategy can deliver a lot more!

The Ideal Solution To The Cost Of Living Crisis Could Be ‘The Perfect Strategy’

When you have large bills to pay, any extra money is a godsend.

The biggest problem is that when you have bills to pay now, you want the money now which is why most people want to make hundreds or thousands of pounds in as little time as possible.

I get it, no one likes the pain of being unable to pay their bills.

There are ways to make a lot of money fast, but they generally require money to either be leveraged or to buy tools, services or training to learn a specific skill set.

They also require you to spend some time learning relevant skills.

For most people it’s often far easier to earn £5 or £10 a day than it is to go out and make £500.

You don’t need to do a lot or offer much to make £5 or £10. Plus it isn’t a lot of money and most people can afford to pay it.

The problem is that most people don’t want to make just £5 or £10, they want hundreds or even thousands and so they don’t chase it.

But here are two reasons why you should try and make a small amount of money like £5 or £10 each day if you really need money:

  1. That money will eventually grow into a bigger amount. £5 a day over a year will give you £1,825. £10 over a year will give you £3,650.
  2. There are always bill to pay and one day in the future when you have a big bill that needs paying, that £1,825 or £3,650 (or more) would be a life saver.

People forget that and they overlook how powerful regular small amounts of money can become when you consistently work at making them.

Yes, that money won’t help you today, but that is no reason why you shouldn’t focus your attention on making small amounts right now.

Small amounts build into bigger amounts if you allow it and those bigger amounts can then also be used to make even bigger amounts of money.

For example; let’s say that you offer a simple service where people pay you £10 to proofread articles or reports they write before publishing them online (this is a real in-demand service by the way).

When you have done ten jobs at £10, you now have £100.

With that £100, you could buy 50 items at £2 each which you intend to sell for £5 each.

£1 of that covers any fees for selling them online using eBay or one of the other online selling platforms. The other £2 is profit.

That £100 now becomes £200.

You can buy another 50 items to sell to make a further £100, have £100 in your pocket, AND you could still carry on proofreading earning £10 per job.

This is called time and money management.

You could say it would be better to call it task and money management as you change tasks as you earn more money which eventually frees up more time.

Whether you decide to use the money for other things when it reaches a certain figure like £100 is up to you, the point I want you to consider is that sometimes making only £5 a day is far better than nothing which is what most people would rather do when they realise that they can’t make £100 or more a day.

£5 a day would give you £100 in 20 days and that isn’t bad when you are short of funds.

Here are 10 possible ways to make £5 or £10 a day without busting a gut. (or £35 to £70 a week)

  1. Write articles for people online via sites such as Fiverr.com and UpWork.com
  2. Proofreading content for people before it is published also via sites like Fiverr.com.
  3. Buy items from carboot markets and charity shops to ‘flip’ online for a profit using eBay or other online selling platforms.
  4. Transcription service. Transcribe audio recordings for people using websites like Fiver.com and UpWork.com.
  5. Small local collection and delivery service for people short on time or unable to do it themselves.
  6. Research. People will pay others to research a variety of topics for them. Some people pay others to compile a list of business contact emails that they can reach out to for business purposes.
  7. Dog walking and animal/house sitting.
  8. Bob-a-job stuff like grass cutting, cleaning windows, cleaning cars, tip runs, gardening and ironing etc.
  9. Teaching, Tuition and Training. Whatever it is that you know or can do, you could always teach other people both offline and online. Maths, exercise, yoga, English, writing, personal trainer, guitar, or drums, you could charge people to learn from you.
  10. Trade horse racing using Betfair.

The above can be a daily earning of £5 or £10 or a weekly equivalent. So for example; you could do one thing each day for £5, or have one class a week of seven people all paying you £5 or do something where two people pay you £35 for your services.

You get the idea?

As long as you are making the equivalent to £5 or £10 a day, it doesn’t really matter what you do.

Obviously, all of the above are not without effort. You will need to do something in order to get paid. But some of the ideas listed are easier than others.

Cutting grass isn’t difficult, but you need to be physically capable, have a vehicle to get to places and also have access to a lawnmower. Plus, cutting grass is a seasonal job and only needs doing every couple of weeks.

Compare that to writing for website owners. You can sit at home on your sofa and write for people all year round. It is a far easier way to make money… if you are good at and enjoy writing that is.

Writing still requires effort and depending on what you are asked to write, you will need to do some research too.

One of the simplest ways to make £5, £10, £15, £20 or more a day is trading horse racing. It requires you to do nothing other than place bets using the Betfair website or phone app.

This can be done from anywhere, requires no specific skills other than being able to place a bet and maybe do a little bit of research depending on which system you decide to use.

Research is simple enough, you are not researching quantum physics and the effects it has on the physical world, you are simply figuring out which horse has the best chance of winning over the others… or which one has the greater chance of odds movement.

Streetwise friend Colin Ford uses what he calls ‘The Perfect Strategy’ because he makes money betting on specific horses whether they win or not.

He uses his money to make money.

There is no going anywhere specific to do anything.

There’s no need to do anything specific for other people.

There is nothing to buy or sell.

There is no getting the word out and having to talk and deal with people.

He simply makes money from the comfort of his home using his Perfect Strategy.

CONFIRMED: You’ve Gained Access To…

‘CONFIRMED: You’ve gained access to our HOTTEST deals’ was the title of the email from Woucher.

It’s an interesting email title, especially when checking emails on a smartphone because all you can see is…

‘CONFIRMED: You’ve gained access to…’ which creates quite a bit of curiosity.

Curiosity forces people to open emails to see what they are about.

People are curious in nature, plus they hate to miss out and so if they believe that there is something good happening, they want to find out what it is.

Occasionally I write email titles with curiosity in mind to see if I can get people to open them, but I do hold back considerably compared to some email marketers.

There’s a line between using curiosity to get people to open emails and deceiving them’ that I won’t cross.

Sadly, some people don’t have an issue with deceiving people.

The Nigerian prince who promises to share millions of pounds with the person willing to send him the £1,000 needed to release it from customs… springs to mind here.

But then again, the Nigerian Prince isn’t just trying to get you to open the email; they are simply trying to scam you of your money using your desire for money against you.

They aren’t email marketers, they are scammers and fraudsters.

The love scammers are the same.

They work hard on identifying vulnerable people and then use emotion to dupe them into sending them money so that they can fly out ‘to be with them’ and then never turn up.

They are using your desire to be loved and the fear of being lonely against you.

Both emotion and curiosity are incredibly powerful drivers as you can see. Some people have handed over tens of thousands of pounds to scammers to avoid being lonely or to become super wealthy.

A lot of these scams have been done online and mostly through email.

Email gets a bad reputation because of people like these scammers, which is a shame because email is a fantastic way to legitimately make money.

Email connects you with people in a way that social media has still to compete with.

People love to spend hours on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, but email still has the best record for making sales.

Email is the original social media and what’s even better is that you own and control it better.

Social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter can de-platform you and close your account down without warning, with email it is unlikely to happen unless you are running the Nigerian Prince scam.

The reason scammers love to use email is that it is more personal than social media and because… it works!

It is through the use of email that I and many thousands of other people make a lot of money each and every month.

I’ve already mentioned Woucher; it was their email title which motivated this email. Woucher are a huge company and like most companies, they too use email to promote their offers because… email works.

People generally check their emails at least 12 times each day.

And now that we have smartphones, we receive notifications when emails land in our inboxes which means that we can get people’s attention a lot easier than before.

Beep Beep! Checks phone… Email received: CONFIRMED: You’ve gained access to… ‘Ohhhhhh, what have I gained access to? I better take a look at that!’

Email is the online equivalent of receiving a letter.

A message on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter is seen as an intrusion to a person’s privacy if they come from someone out of the blue. Messages sent over social media is considered by many as spam and a possible scam.

With email, people are more likely to see them as digital letters… although people are a little more aware these days, and rightly so.

You do need to be careful because there are still plenty of ‘wealthy princes and hunky but lonely men looking for love’ who may try and reach out to you.

Email is a numbers game because you can spend a few minutes writing an email, which you send to several thousand people and when a handful of people buy a product you promote, you can earn a day’s wagea week’s wageeven a month’s wage, from that one email.

An email business can be managed from virtually anywhere in the world. North Korea may not be the easiest place to run one from, but I doubt you would be going there for your holiday anyway.

You can write and send emails from your hotel room or balcony using nothing more than a tablet and make money.

Making money while on holiday is one of the best feelings a person can have, I can assure you.

Why Does A Self Storage Unit Have A Free Gym?

We live in a changing world, that’s for sure.

Back in the 80s, a self storage unit was basically a ‘lock up’ where you rented a garage or small unused workspace.

Often they were in old disused factories, warehouse and in railway arches under train lines.

Today storage units come with kitchens and gyms.

I kid you not… more on that shortly.

Self storage is big business today with around 2,050 self storage facilities across the UK offering a total of 52 million square feet of storage space. That is the equivalent to roughly 61 Buckingham Palace’s.

In 2016 the UK had the greatest number of new storage units than any other country in Europe. In 2017, the UK accounted for a massive 47% of the total European storage market.

The concept of multiple self storage units under one roof first appeared in the US in the 1960s. It wasn’t until the early 1980s when the first multi-use self storage units began to appear here in the UK with the first being somewhere in London.

Storage space is vital for businesses but many people use them to store personal items because they either have too much stuff, or no room at home to keep it, which is not surprising considering how small a lot of new build homes are today.

There are many reasons why people use storage units.

Andi our techy guy has used one recently when he moved home and he may use one again when he moves overseas.

Because he won’t be able to take all his personal belongings for a few months, he may need to put them into storage again. He was checking out the local storage companies when he came across one which had a kitchen, a meeting room and a gym for customers to use.

The reason for this is that this particular storage space understands that businesses need storage and with a lot of businesses now working entirely online, they don’t require a retail space which usually comes with storage.

They need somewhere to store their products and occasionally work from, hence why this storage company are now providing meeting rooms, kitchens and a gym.

Meeting rooms for meeting clients to show off products – obviously.

The kitchen is for making drinks and food at lunch and breaks – also obvious.

The gym…? Well I guess anyone who is working in their unit all day may want to have a break and do some exercise.

The gym is a great selling point really, it means that anyone who needs storage but also likes to works out, can save money on an official gym membership and can work out when they finish working saving time out of their day as well.

Some storage units offer larger units with a desk, electrical sockets and access to WiFi so that people can go to their storage unit and work. Units vary in size and the bigger ones have facilities for packing products to send out.

These storage units are now offering customers a place to work from which is perfect for those running online retail businesses who don’t need a retail premises and also want to keep it separate to their home life.

I’ve mentioned it many times before, the best business ideas can come from joining two different ideas or products together.

You could argue that this is an old business idea but reversed 180 degrees. In the past, people had retail units and workspace with additional storage; this is storage with additional workspace.

I’m not saying that you should start a self storage business.

I imagine they can be incredibly profitable but I can’t say that you are just offering ‘space’ so the overheads are low similar to the carboot market idea suggested in the previous article.

Because people want their belongings in a secure unit within a secure building there will be quite a lot of upfront investment required.

Plus, a lot of people are already doing it so you are going to need to offer something unique or that is great value for money.

The motivation for this article was really to show you that those companies which are ‘winning’ are the ones who go that one step further than the rest and they offer solutions to the problems customers are experiencing.

For example; a person who has an online retail business and stores their products in a self storage unit, would need to go and fetch products from the unit and take them home to be processed.

But now thanks to those storage providers who offer work space with their storage, business owners can go and process the products at the unit and then go home when the job’s done.

The same storage unit also offers customers the free use of a van if they rent a unit for a set period of months. Getting stuff to and from the unit is a problem for most people but by offering them the use of a van, they have provided another solution.

If you are looking to start up a business, then look at what other people are doing and see if you can improve on it. Look at what problems their customers are experiencing and see if you can offer a solution to them.

Try and find what people NEED then offer it to them. Offering people what they want and need when the competition isn’t, puts you firmly in position of ‘first choice’ amongst customers.

There may be a lot of money to be made offering self storage units, but there is also a lot of investment required upfront and a lot of preparation work. Even if all you are supplying is a dozen shipping containers on a gated hard standing.

If you are looking for an easy way to make money without a lot of hard work or upfront investment… at least not in the amounts needed to start a business such as self storage units… then this may be more to your liking: System 903.

System 903 is a simplified approach to making money trading horse races.

Unlike gamblers who use a small amount of money to try and win a big lump sum, with System 903 you use a larger amount to win a smaller amount… many times over.

You use your larger bank to win smaller amounts over and over and over again.

All of those smaller amounts then grow into bigger amounts, even more so when you use compounding when staking.

A gambler may stake £20 in the hope to win £250. A trader will use £250 to win £20 over and over again.

Think of it like this; offer someone £1,000 now or £5,000 in £10 notes each day for 500 days, most people will take the £1,000.

That’s fine if they reuse that £1,000 wisely, but most people don’t, they want it all now so that they can enjoy it.

People are prepared to give up a larger amount of money for a smaller amount because they are simply impatient.

Now, if you took £10 every day and used that £10 to make more money, slowly growing the amount each day, you will make even more.

Making small amounts consecutively and constantly is a sure fire way to grow your wealth.

And that is what you can do with System 903.

Roy, the man who developed System 903 made £47,000 in one year using his system, which incidentally, is around £903 a week TAX FREE!

You can do this from the comfort of your own home and you can do it on your smartphone.

Which Of These Two Is Right For You?

Following up from the article where I told you that my friend once did a carboot stall and earned just £2 profit for all of her efforts, you may recall that I said that she was doing another one with her daughter this weekend gone.

Well I am happy to say that this time they managed to sell quite a few items and made just shy of £80.

Well… they would have if they hadn’t spent around £30 on bacon butties and cakes.

£30 sounds like a lot on food for two people, and it would be but they bought cakes for the rest of the family so it’s not too bad, but it still brings their daily profit down to around £50.

The food they bought came out of that money so it’s kind of free when you think about it.

All in all, it was an okay day apparently.

They got rid of some stuff they no longer needed, they got some tasty treats for free and also went home £50 up.

£50 is £50, it’s better than nothing.

As I always say, it’s better in your pocket than someone else’s.

I don’t believe that my friend intends to do another carboot market anytime soon.

The stuff which was not sold was taken to a charity shop on the way home.

So whatever remained will be sold and the money put to some good use, which is good.

As you know, I’m not a huge fan of doing carboot markets to make some extra money… not unless you are running it, then they can be a real money spinner.

The farmer who owned the land charged £6 per pitch (£5 if you paid upfront online) and there were 100 cars at the market. At £5 that is a nice £500 for simply letting people park in your field for a few hours.

The price to enter the market as a customer was £1 and so if you had 200 people visit – usually these places can attract a lot more than that figure – you have another £200 for very little.

With so many people paying cash, I dare say that for every five pounds that went into the official bucket, one went into the ‘back pocket’.

I’m not saying that that is what I would do… but you know… I imagine it happens.

“Oh, no, the turnout this week was really poor Mr Taxman, we expected 700 people, but sadly only 500 came.

“I know, it LOOKS like there are more and you might be right, it’s a field and we get a lot of non-payers jumping though the hedge. It’s so hard to stop them and keep track of them as I’m sure you appreciate Mr Taxman. ”

There’s a business idea for you there… if you own a decent amount of land you might want to consider a carboot market.

I don’t know what the legal requirements are for running one, but all you supply is a place for people to gather and you get paid for it.

You could also capitalise on it more by selling food and drink to the public, or at least allow someone else to serve food and you charge a premium day rent or take a cut of the profits.

Going back to my friend who made £50 selling her parents unwanted items (£80 if you ignore the fact they bought food out of what they made), there was a lot of time and effort spent making that money whereas in the screenshot below, you can see that in the space of 2 hours and 10 minutes, £43.20 was made trading the Germany 40 market.

That money was made from the comfort of an armchair and took very little effort to do.

It’s also TAX FREE!

Unlike making money at a carboot, there was no need to sort through, collect and clean items to sell beforehand.

There was no need to find trestle tables to sell the items from and there was no need to load and unload the car or spend three to four hours standing in a field haggling with Eastern Europeans who want everything as cheap as possible.

There’s also no need to keep an eye out for the undesirables who frequently wander around the market trying to steal anything they believed was valuable and could make them a few quid.

Never mind the poor buggers who were trying to make a few quid selling their OWN items.

When entering the market to set up, my friend was warned that the market attracted large ‘packs’ of ‘certain’ people who would swarm on a stall and distract the stall owner with a lot of loud questions and group gibberish.

If you’ve ever seen the film ‘Snatch’, you’ll understand what I mean when I say group gibberish.

While being completely blindsided, the stall owner wouldn’t spot one or two of the pack grabbing what they wanted and quickly walking away.

Carboot markets sound like a lot of fun, don’t you think?

I can’t say that I am a big fan of them, and I ‘m sure you can tell.

I’d rather make money with ease from the comfort of my home or office.

Kate Davis is one of many thousands of people who can make more than £50 most mornings trading markets like the Germany 40 (DAX) as seen in the screenshot above.

Very often, she makes that before going to work.

Kate makes between £750 and £1,725 per month TAX FREE!

She generally makes her money while working out at the gym which is why she has been nicknamed The Treadmill Trader, but others do it while relaxing with a cuppa reading the paper.

What you do while you make your money is entirely up to you, but I can tell you now… you don’t need to spend hours standing in a field trying to sell off a load of unwanted tat while dealing with undesirables.

This is one of the easiest and simplest ways to make money from the comfort of your own home… or a hotel… or wherever you happen to be.

If you would like Kate to show you EXACTLY what it is that she does to make £750 and £1,725 per month TAX FREE … click the link below:

You Did All That For Just £2! Are You Mad?

You may remember the article that I wrote a week or two back about the ‘dodgy’ looking guy at a carboot market selling just a handful of books and DVDs.

I was convinced that he was selling something a little more illegal from under the counter because he would be lucky if he made more than the cost of the pitch selling those few items.

Pitches at carboot markets are not overly expensive, but I do know a woman who has been to a couple of carboot markers with the intention to sell her unwanted stuff and make some extra pennies and came home with just a few pounds in her pocket.

I was told this the other day when the woman in question told me that she was doing another carboot market this weekend to try and get rid of a lot of stuff from her parents house who are having a clear out due to them moving.

There is a lot of stuff and so she is doing it with her daughter.

There will be two cars so there will be two pitches which is costing her £10. It would have been £12 but because she booked and paid online before the event she saved herself £2.

Looking at the amount of stuff they have, I am sure that they will make back more than the £10 she has paid out… but there is the risk that they could waste a lot of their time.

As I say, she admitted to me that there have been a couple of times many years ago where she did a carboot market and came home with just a few pounds for her efforts.

Once she only made £2 profit!

That’s £2 for spending four to six hours stood in a field bartering with people who basically want everything for free.

It’s not just the time spent at the market either.

There is the time spent gathering stuff up to sell, possibly giving it a clean and then loading and unloading it into the car.

It’s possible that she could have spent more than eight hours getting ready for that carboot market only to come home with a bank busting £2 profit.

Is it worth it?

I think not.

Some people can make decent money at carboots (usually those who buy items cheaply then resell them on eBay for a large profit) and some enjoy the day out haggling and ‘bantering’ with like minded folk.

Some people love the hustle and bustle of a market and so for people like that, carboot markets are great.

For me… and anyone who is serious about making money, I would give them a wide berth.

There are so many better ways to make money; I think they are not worth the time and effort.

In my opinion, it would be best if all of the stuff collected to be sold was dropped off at a charity shop giving you back the time to focus on other ways to make money.

If you really want to make a few pounds selling it, you could post it on Facebook Marketplace from the comfort of your own home when you have a spare few minutes without having to pay out for a pitch at a market.

Even better, people come to your house to collect what they buy. There’s no need to stand around in a field for hours on end.

The time spent getting stuff ready for a carboot and the time spent being there could be used a lot more efficiently in my opinion.

I’ve previously mentioned David Houghton and his money making routine which takes no more than ten minutes each morning.

He leverages money to make more money leaving him with more time to enjoy his life.

He isn’t spending hours trying to make a few pounds selling old tat.

Now don’t get me wrong, I have said numerous times that if you don’t have any money to leverage then you must find it and if that means having a stall at a carboot market to sell unwanted stuff, then so be it.

It is part of your long term wealth building plan.

But if you are doing it simply to make a few extra quid and you don’t desperately need it, I would recommend doing something that is going to give you more back for your efforts.

Ideally you need to be doing something which pays the most for doing the least amount of work.

Not because you are lazy or greedy, but because your time is precious and you should be enjoying life.

Other people are doing it, why shouldn’t you?

David Houghton spends no more than ten minutes checking one financial market to see if there is a trade. If there is, he sets up his system and then goes about his day.

This system makes him between £110 and £350 most weekdays… which is a lot better than the £2 my friend made trying to sell her unwanted items.

There is little to know and it is incredibly simple to do… and you can make more money than you would standing around at a carboot market selling cheap tat.

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 ten minutes in the morning and for that it will give you between £110 and £350 most weekdays.

How A 33 Year-Old Made £830,800 In 92 Days Starting With Only £170

Screenshot taken from BBC Newsround Short

Yesterday I shared the story about Michelle Schroeder-Gardner who quit her £33,000 a year financial analyst job in 2013 to focus on her blog which pays her a nice £628,000 a year in passive income while travelling the world in a yacht with her family working only 10 hours a week.

Today I want to tell you about American Trevor Chapman who in 2016, at the age of 33, swapped his solar-panel installation business for a multi-million pound e-commerce business that cost roughly £170 to start.

The £170 start up costs included a website domain name for a year, a trial of Shopify and a handful of Facebook adverts.

His website was launched in November 2016 and it took just 92 days for his website to hit $1 million (around £830,800) in sales

His website LDSman.com (no longer online) sold various items sourced from China including Kevlar pants, charcoal toothpaste, inflatable lounge chairs and fidget spinners.

He arranged for the manufacturers in China to send the items direct to the customers known as ‘drop shipping’. It was far cheaper than having the products sent to him in bulk then posted to customers throughout the US.

Eventually he invested in a warehouse and staff to manage the stock after one of his suppliers in China swapped one of the products for a less superior one resulting in many complaints.

Chapman originally turned down an offer of $3 million for his business in 2016 as he was happy to carry on running his business which was bringing in $350,000 in sales per month.

He had outsourced virtually all of the work and he himself spent no more than an hour working on his website updating inventory and Facebook ads.

It was a big change from working 12 hour days running a solar panel installation company.

It’s possible that he has since sold his e-commerce business which has been absorbed into a larger portfolio and given a new website address.

Chapman had also started another business the same year with his brother-in-law which was expected to make $10 million in the first year.

That business was a shipping logistics company which specialised in using free space on commuter flights, mainly Delta Airlines, to ship stock from Asia to the US cheaper than using bulk shippers.

Amazon was one of its customers.

He may have moved on from his e-commerce business to focus his attention on that business.

What I really want you to think about though is the fact that Trevor Chapman started a multi-million pound online business for less than £200.

That is the BIG point here…

Even today, while we are forced to pay through the nose for food and fuel, most people could raise at least £200 if they put their minds to it.

I’m in no way belittling the current situation and people’s struggles, but most people’s houses are ‘chock-a-block’ with stuff they hardly ever use that could be sold to raise the funds required.

A profitable online business is one of the cheapest businesses anyone can start.

Obviously, not all online businesses are the same.

I sell information products online which have a high profit margin whereas e-commerce businesses can sell products for a few pounds where profits are small.

The big difference is that e-commerce businesses can often sell tens of thousands of products earning just a few pounds at a time – a bit like Costa Coffee selling tens of thousands cups of coffee each week – which adds up to big money whereas I sell a lot less, but make more money per sale.

More people are likely to buy something like charcoal toothpaste than they are a manual showing you how to make money selling NFT art, but that is the industry I prefer to be in.

Whichever style of business a person chooses, the start up costs for both can be incredibly cheap.

Yes, they can vary from business to business, but they are nothing compared to the astronomical expense of setting up a traditional offline business like a shop, bar or restaurant.

In a previous article I mentioned a chap who worked every evening for a month to raise the extra money needed to start his wealth building project.

In fact, working those evenings were part of his wealth building plan.

That is where most people fail, they have ideas and desires, but they don’t form a workable plan which they can follow.

It’s easy to say ‘I can’t afford to start an online business because I don’t have a spare £200’, and then do nothing about it.

That’s what most people do unfortunately.

They know that they don’t have the money available at this current time and then do nothing.

Not having the money means to them ‘that’s that then, I can’t do anything, so I won’t’.

When the truth is, they can do something; they can find a way to start making that money which they need to start their online business or wealth building project.

The one thing ALL successful people used was courage.

They had the courage to get started and do what was necessary to make something happen.

I’m not suggesting that you sell your grandma, your children or a kidney to get started, but if you don’t get started, you’ll never know what could have been.

Michelle Schroeder-Gardner and Trevor Chapman wouldn’t have known what was possible if they hadn’t made a start, and I’m sure they are both incredibly happy that they did.

They earn more money than they probably dreamt possible and they have more free time to spend with their families.

Starting your own online business really isn’t that difficult.
