2.5 Week’s Work = £56,400! 

I was reading a very interesting email over the weekend.

The email shared the story of a guy who spent two and a half weeks writing a book which he published on Amazon last year.

That one book has generated roughly £56,400!

This guy runs several businesses including a successful fiction writing business which earns him six to seven figures each year.

This book that he published last year was not one of his fiction books; it was a non-fiction book which helped solve a problem.

Because it wasn’t fiction, he was able to sell it for a slightly higher price.

With this being a ‘how-to’ style information focused book, he didn’t write a book off the top of his head, he simply went to a specific tool that:

  • Showed him what people were searching for on Amazon.
  • What the competition was for specific keywords.

And get this…

  • How much he could potentially make each month from selling books based on specific keywords.
  • And what price to sell his books at.

He has since repeated the process and now has several of these ‘how to’ style books all earning him over £1,000 per month, each!

Because he has written books around specific keywords and searched terms, he does very little marketing.

He does this for passive pocket money.

These books generate a passive income which he uses to top up his retirement fund.

He says that he expects to retire from all of his businesses, which are now mostly being run by employees, at the age of 38.

He says that these books are his side-side-side-side-side gig.

They are not his main businesses. They are not his main focus. They are something he works on on the side when he has any spare time.

And yet these books bring in over £158,000 in royalty profits each year.

That is the great thing about owning your own intellectual property such as eBooks.

They are assets which people can buy online for many years, generating an automated and passive income.

He sells most of his books on Amazon and Audible (audio versions of his books), but he also sells them from his own websites too.

When you create your own digital products such as eBooks, you can add them to multiple platforms to sell. And once they are on those platforms, you need not doing anything else.

Everything is automated.

You can do the same.

Another Way To Profit From The Palm Of Your Hands!

The other day I was being shown a video on Instagram and I spotted something interesting.

The video was of a bus being painted by a Brazilian street artist, named Dan Roots, and his team. It was a big job and it looked quite good when they were finished.

What I found more interesting than the actual bus being painted was the new ‘subscribe’ button at the top of the video.

Dan Roots is taking payment for exclusive and extra content he posts on Instagram.

This is a powerful tool for creators, influencers, and… well, anybody really.

It means that anyone can earn money sharing exclusive and extra content alongside the content they share for free.

It makes sense to offer exclusive content for subscribers; otherwise there is no reason for people to subscribe.

That is what every other person does that runs a subscription part to their free profile, whether that is on Patreon, X (formerly Twitter), OnlyFans, Substack, or one of the other platforms that allow you to take payment.

Translating Portuguese to English (using the Google Translate app) I can see what his subscribers are getting.

  • Subscriber seal (I’m not sure what that means exactly).
  • Exclusive content.
  • Social and broadcast channels.
  • Behind the Scenes.
  • Ask a question.
  • Access and early releases.
  • Coaching
  • Classes

Dan Roots is not charging a lot each month.

From what I can see, he is only charging £2.49 which is not a lot for what you get as a subscriber. I’m not sure if that is a straight conversion from the Brazilian Real, or whether it is set at 2.49 for all territories i.e. £2.49, $2.49, R$2.49, and €2.49.

A street artist sharing pictures and videos of his art and him creating that art wouldn’t really be able to charge a lot. As much as it is enjoyable looking at his art and watching him create, it isn’t life changing or deliver a lot of personal entertainment like reading fiction can.

However, he is also offering classes, coaching and allowing people to ask questions and so I believe he could maybe charge up to £10 a month at least.

What I like about this is that here is a guy sharing content on Instagram, a free social media platform that can be accessed globally, who is now earning money by publishing exclusive and easy-to-create content for paying subscribers.

I don’t know how many people he has subscribed; I don’t think there is a way to see. What I can see is that he has 396,000 followers on Instagram. If just 0.5% (1,980 people) of that following paid £2.49 a month to see his exclusive content, he would be making around £4,930 each month.

I doubt that he is making thousands per month due to the nature of the content, but who am I to say? There are people who pay a lot of money to see pictures of feet!

Yes, liking feet is more of a sexual thing – and as we know most things sexual can be big earners, but still… if foot worshippers and feet fetishists are willing to pay to see pictures of feet, then there may be a fair amount of people who appreciate specific street art and artists, who are willing to pay to access that form of content.

I know for a fact that one of our team, Andi, was a big fan of graffiti and street art when he was younger and had a large collection of books and magazines on the subject.

Before the internet allowed artists to share their work around the world, he sent for books and magazines from countries such as Australia, Germany, France, Denmark, and the USA.

He has since sold his collection. One French book dedicated to the French train graffiti scene must have been a limited edition as he sold it for £50, far more than what he paid for it nearly twenty years previous. Proof that people love their hobbies!

Andi says that over the years he must have spent several hundred pounds collecting books and magazines around that one subject.

So if he was willing to do that, then it is safe to assume that there will be people who are willing to pay a small monthly fee to access ‘real-time’ and interactive content in the subjects that interest them from the people they ‘like’.

If Andi had paid several hundred pounds to buy books and magazines around a specific subject, then paying £2.49 a month is nothing. It is less than £30 for the year.

I noticed that Dan Roots’ profile on Instagram was ‘verified’ and that I believe is why he has the option of running a subscription side to his Instagram. It is the same over on X (formerly Twitter).

Becoming verified on Instagram costs nothing, you simply need to send in government approved documentation proving that you are who you say you are, and if Meta (the company behind Facebook and Instagram) are happy, they will verify you and you are good to go.

For those who are not verified or wish not to be, you could simply charge a monthly fee and send your exclusive content in group chats. You don’t need to be verified to do that, but it is a bit of a faff compared to the new method.

Now that Instagram and X have a subscription option, they process the payment and you publish content just as you would when you publish the free content, only this time you check a box to say who can see it.

If you chose to use the other ‘non-verified’ method that I have talked about previously where you send content to group chats, you have to set up an external method of taking payment. It’s doable, but doing it all in-house is a lot easier.

The reason I am sharing this today is that I wanted to highlight yet another way to make money from the palm of your hand using only a smartphone.

With Instagram, all videos and photographs can be taken with a smartphone and then uploaded directly to the platform.

The pictures and videos can also be edited using a smartphone either within the Instagram app, or using a video editing app.

You can even do live broadcasts using your smartphone.

In the previous article where I talked about Jeff and his two three minute slots on local radio, this is more powerful because you yourself can broadcast live for however long you want, when you want, and you can reach people all across the world!

It can all be done using your smartphone… from the palm of your hand… from wherever you are in the world!

Now that is powerful!

This could be a real gold mine for a lot of people.

Kind regards.

John Harrison.

PS… Another goldmine is newsletters. They too earn money through paying subscribers and like the example above, you make money by selling access to the same one piece of content to multiple people.

Write a newsletter once, record one video, and sell access to them both to hundreds of people. Then do it all again next month.

The ‘Buy Low And Sell High For Large Profits’ System Anyone Can Do From Home!

I caught an episode of the new All Creatures Great & Small programme on Channel 5 the other day. For those of you that don’t know, All Creatures Great & Small is a television show based on the popular books by James Herriot.

James Herriot, real name James Alfred Wight, was an English veterinary surgeon and author (I’ve no idea why he is Scottish in the new adaption of the show, he did go to university in Glasgow, but other than that, he is English) who wrote a series of successful books about his life and experiences working as a vet in Yorkshire.

What I found interesting was that the veterinary practice where he worked had a house maid, Mrs Hall, who took care of everything else such as the cleaning, cooking and general house and practice upkeep.

I have written about this previously where I talked about the popular television shows Father Brown and Grantchester which followed clergymen who had a strong interest for amateur sleuthing.

In fact, they were far from amateur as they somehow managed to solve the crimes before the police and were often called upon to assist in a lot of cases.

Both clergymen, like most vicars and priests back in the day, had women who ran the house for them.

By employing someone to do all of the day-to-day jobs, the men were able to get on with the work they were better equipped to do.

The work they did bought in the money (or gods work and crime busting in the case of the clergymen) and so if they were able to focus on it without distraction and without having to factor in the cleaning, cooking, changing the beds, washing pots, shopping, and the like, they were able to focus more and achieve more.

Some people may get offended at the idea and suggest that this is some kind of unhealthy misogynistic patriarchal society, and in the past there may have been some of that going on, but the truth is this is just wise working where one person employs another person to do specific tasks so that they can focus on others.

It doesn’t have to be just men hiring female house keepers, yes it’s true that was more common in the 1940s, but it could also be women hiring men to ‘keep house/office’ while they focus on doing the work they prefer.

The point is this… a lot of time is lost doing small daily living tasks and if you are one of those people who:

  1. Doesn’t like doing those kinds of tasks.
  2. Would prefer to focus more time and effort on the tasks that you enjoy and brings in more money.

…employing someone to do specific work for you is probably a very good idea.

Let’s say that you had a way to make money which paid you £100 every hour, every hour that you spend doing things such as shopping, cleaning, cooking, changing bedding, etc, is £100 lost.

If you hire or employed someone to do that work for you, then every hour they free you up is worth £100.

Let’s say that you pay a person £400 a week to come and do specific work for you freeing you up and extra 2 hours per day, and that you spent those 2 hours each day working… you will earn an extra £1,000 per week.

After paying the person £400, you are left with an extra £600, you are fed and watered, and you have a clean and well organised home.

Sounds good, right?

Many business owners hire personal assistants to help them run errands and the day-to-day stuff so that they can focus on the work that really matters.

Professional sports teams don’t wash their own kits; they have other people do that for them so that they can focus on perfecting their sport.

Musicians, actors, and celebrities have managers and runners who organise their work lives for them.

Hiring home/office help is a great way to get more done because it allows you to focus on the higher earning work while paying to get the lesser worth work done.

If you pay someone £12 per hour to clean your home while you work to earn £50, you are £38 per hour in pocket and you have the work you don’t want to do being done for you.

That is one of the most powerful secrets to success.

Another secret to success is to find specific products cheap, and then sell them for a large profit.

Starting with £100, you want to find an item that you can sell for £200… and then find an item for £200 that you can sell for £400 until you can afford to buy multiple items at a higher price which can be sold for double the purchase price giving you more profit for little work.

Gary Lister does just that, he buys items that he knows he can sell for double the purchase price. He started small and has now grown to the point he can generate £1,263 per week flipping specific items he finds being sold cheap.

PS… There are several reasons as to why people sell off specific items cheaply, Gary has found one item that people are often in a rush to sell off and so they sell it at half the value to get rid of it quickly.

Gary snaps them up quickly, and then sells them at their full value making hundreds of pounds, sometimes thousands of pounds, in profits for a few minutes work.

It Costs Pennies To Get Started With But Could Generate Tens Of Thousands Of Pounds

As we put the finishing touches to another product ready to be launched soon, it makes me wonder why more people do not consider creating information products to sell.

I foresee this product making a lot of money over the next few years. What it teaches is unique, real, and can make people a lot of money.

The manual is around 70 pages long and there is a series of short videos. That may sound like a lot of work to you, but I can tell you that it is actually incredible simple to create.

We have another product being put together and roughly 25 pages of the manual were written in a few hours. That included taking screenshots and editing them for the manual.

The manual is currently being written in Google Docs, which is Google’s free-to-use version of Word.

I believe there will be a few videos accompanying that product and they will be made using screen capture software called Screenpal. Screenpal has a free version but it adds a watermark to the videos.

To remove the watermark from the videos you need to pay a small fee for the Pro version, and considering how much information products can earn, it really is a small fee.

It will cost somewhere around £40 for the whole year to use the Pro version. That is nothing compared to the thousands of pounds information products can earn.

For screen capture videos (showing people what you are doing on your computer) you just need to talk into a microphone and tell people what they are seeing and what you are doing.

Laptops come with built-in microphones which are pretty good, but a decent external one that you plug into your laptop can cost less than £20.

So, for £60 or less, you can create an information product that could potentially earn you thousands of pounds.

Obviously, you need to have a place to sell them from and you need people to sell your information products too.

As I have said in the past, I am more than happy to take a look at any information products that are sent our way to see if they are a good match with our customers.

Having your own online store is an option and it can be incredibly cheap to do too. A website can cost as little as £150 for two years.

Whenever I think about that, it just amazes me.

£150 to have your own piece of online real estate where you can set up multiple fully automated passive income streams is just a ridiculously incredible price… for two years!

That works out at around 20 pence a day.

It’s hardly a big expense.

You don’t need to sell many products before you have covered the £150 cost. Just one product priced at £150 will take care of that, and there are many products you can sell for that price.

I really don’t know why more people are not embracing this business model and publishing digital products of their own.

It’s possibly one of the easiest businesses to get into today because you can have a website built, a product created and listed online for sale within a day.

I’m not saying that you will… but it can be done that quickly, especially if the product is a simple short eBook or video training.

Remember, it’s not the length of the product that matters; it’s what it is about that is important. That is where the value and worth can be found.

If an eBook or video helps a person solve a problem then it is worth the money.

A simple eBook or video training can be incredibly helpful to others… and as I say, they can be incredible simple to make.

Once you have made one, you make another and then another… and before you know it, you are on your way to building your own six-figure-a-year empire.

Sometimes You Need Only Supply The Meeting Place To Make Money

Andi, our remote worker living in Portugal, told me the other day that his good lady organised some flowers to be delivered to their daughter here in the UK to congratulate her on being offered a new job in Sheffield… not too far from us here at the Streetwise offices.

It was a job she really wanted and apparently she ‘bossed’ the interview and was offered the job the next day.

The flowers arrived within a couple of hours of being ordered through the Interflora website.

What is impressive is that somewhere in deepest Portugal, an order was made online, and an actual bouquet of flowers arrived at someone’s door in middle England.

There are several points to take from this:

  1. Interflora work as a middleman where they take orders from people all over the UK/World and they send the order to the nearest registered florist, and take a fee for passing on customers.

  2. Because orders can be taken and processed online, a business like this can connect with local businesses in multiple countries, not just in one territory.

  3. Just like Uber, Airbnb, Check-A-Trader, Just Eat, and Booking.com… you do not actually need to own, create, deliver, or offer any property, product, or service yourself. You simply connect two sets of people who need each other.

Just before sitting down to write this article I was reading an email from a guy who was talking about buying and selling websites from a specific marketplace and how the website was making somewhere between 20% and 30% commissions on all sales.

He was thinking of building his own platform from where other people could sell websites.

This was another middleman business because the website (marketplace) owners were giving websites builders and owners a place to list their websites, and for those who wish to buy a website a place to shop with trusted security.

They offered a secure place where the two groups of people could meet and make a deal.

Apart from the website where other websites were listed for sale, the company did not build, own, or sell any other websites, products, or services.

They didn’t need to.

They took a percentage from all transactions that occurred on their platform.

Other people buying and selling websites is how they make their money.

More and more of these middleman websites are appearing online, and part of the reason why is that they can be incredible cheap to start.

Apart from some marketing costs – which can be quite cheap at the beginning – all that is required is the website build and hosting costs.

Most businesses have the website costs on top of many other bigger business expenses.

With an online middleman business, the website is usually the biggest and often the only cost.

I read recently about a guy in Bangladesh who built a small website that is now earning him over £1,600 per month.

The website cost him £4,000 to build. His initial outlay was made back quite quickly.

That money was made by having other people paying to use his website and purchase products and services through it.

He doesn’t supply any products or services, and yet he is making a rather decent amount of money – in a relatively poor part of the world, I may add – through the actions of website users.

If you have a few thousand pounds spare, you may want to consider having your own middleman website built. They are a fantastic way to make money without you having to do any of the work that is offered via the website.

You just supply a platform where two sets of people can meet, and leave the rest up to them.

Of course, you need to get people to use your platform, but there are ways of doing that which won’t cost you a lot of time and money.

If, that sounds like too much hard work and expense, then you may want to consider taking advantage of an existing middleman business and make money by using a system like John Bank’s Easy As 123 System which takes readily-available information and turns it into easy profits using Betfair.

There’s another profitable advantage to be had now that winter is upon us and that is that most of the horse races today are run on jump tracks, a track favoured by John as they are the most profitable for him.

Making £10,000+ Per Month Using Witchcraft!

In the previous article I mentioned about the woman who makes around £123,840 a year publishing a newsletter about witchcraft.

Today I am going to share more details about her and why I think anyone can do what she is doing.

Amanda Yates Garcia lives in Los Angeles and makes a full-time income running a newsletter focusing on witchcraft.

Her newsletter, Mystery Cult with Amanda Yates Garcia is, from what I can see, $30 a month (about £24 at time of writing).

Amanda has 13,000 people subscribing to her free newsletter, with 430 of those paying to access more of her content.

I don’t know what paying subscribers get compared to the free subscribers, but Amanda publishes twice a week.

In a recent interview Amanda said:

“I offer essays, monthly live full-moon rituals, a monthly downloadable Witch Guide, live chats, a reading group, and surprise gifts like meditation MP3s and playlists. I write about the symbology of the season (like the full moon in Libra and what it means); I write about what’s most urgent for me in my own practice (like when ADHD gets in the way of your ritual practice, or how to deal with muggles family gatherings); or essays about things I’m studying and want to share (like the mythologies of the goddess Hekate, the phenomenology of alchemy, how paganism and ecology relate, etc.).”

I have no idea as to what any of that means, but it seems that 13,000 people love it and 430 pay to get more of it.

What I love about this is that this is a perfect example of a person earning a six-figure income each year selling information that is not in the expected make money online niche.

She hit six figures within a year of starting her online newsletter.

Amanda is making over £10,000 each and every month sharing information about witchcraft.

If she can do it, other people can… and in many different niches.

I know that I have been repeating myself about newsletters lately, but there is a reason for that, and that is that they can be incredibly profitable, they can be incredibly easy to do (you can start a newsletter today), and more importantly, they can be a lot of fun.

When something is fun and making money, it ceases to be work.

The other point I want to get across is… well, there’s two of them, and they are:

  1. The content is super easy to create today – I’ll share some examples with you shortly.

  2. Profit is based on numbers and not the amount of work involved – a newsletter with just one paying subscriber is the same newsletter if it had 500 paying subscribers. You only create it once.

This article is a piece of content worthy of being a newsletter and part of a monthly subscription.

I am writing this on a laptop using MS Word and once it is complete, I can either copy & paste it into whatever platform I use to deliver my newsletter, or I can save it as a PDF and upload it to wherever I house my newsletters.

It is all incredibly simple to do.

Amanda often surprised her subscribers with MP3s; these too are incredibly easy to create.

Audio recordings can be done using just your smartphone and can also be uploaded directly to your chosen newsletter platform.

The quality is more than acceptable and you can also edit audio files on your smartphone with ease.

Smarphones are no longer just phones; they are sophisticated handheld computers with more computing power than the space craft that took men to the moon.

People attach smartphones to ring lights and microphones and record video and audio content that they sell individually or as part of products.

It has revolutionised the content creation and adult industries. Anyone can be an online influencer and adult star thanks to these mini handheld computers.

This means that you too can be a star… or at least easily create content that you can use as part of a product such as a paid-for monthly newsletter.

With a smartphone you can:

  • Take great photos.
  • Record videos.
  • Record audio.
  • Write articles.
  • Convert speaking to text.
  • Create graphics.
  • Edit video and audio.

A smartphone can be a complete content creation machine, and it’s all at your fingertips.

I am not going to say that you will be making £10,000 a month within a year like Amanda Yates Garcia, but her example shows that it is possible.

For most people, hitting just £1,000 a month would be a welcomed bonus and that is more than doable I believe.

Kind regards.

A Quick And Easy Way Make Money

Recently I shared the story of Paul and Gareth who were both really struggling financially due to a combination of increased living costs and being unable to work due to injuries and ill health.

Both men were interviewed by a reporter for Channel 4 news, and after watching the report, I came to the conclusion that they were struggling more than they needed to because they didn’t know what other opportunities to make money were available to them.

You cannot know everything, I understand that, but I think people owe it to themselves to learn what other opportunities are out there.

There are plenty of ways for them to make money that they could do from home with little or no cost to them.

A prime example of this would be the One-Time Small Group Masterminds.

I watched a short video the other day of a guy called Jeff, who was talking about how he could make anywhere between £250 and £1,000 running one-time small group masterminds.

A one-time small group mastermind is where you hold an online video call with a group of people, no more than ten people, and you teach or help them with something specific.

Jeff started a few years ago giving advice and troubleshooting problems people had with their websites.

He personally preferred to host small groups of no more than five people.

He would then be able to spend 20 minutes on each person, talking through his thoughts on their website and giving them personalised advice.

20 minutes per person would mean that he was hosting a call that was an hour and forty minutes long, and for that, each person would pay him $97.

That would make him a rather decent $485.

$485 for an hour and forty minutes talking isn’t bad, is it?

You could do something similar.

You could charge people £97 to sit on a call with you.

You could start at a lower price until you get used to doing live calls.

Jeff already had a following and an email list that were interested in the things he taught and talked about.

But like he said in the video I watched, every Facebook group, Facebook page, Twitter (X) profile, and email list that has thousands of people on it, started with just one.

You may not have an interested following yet, but neither did he when he started all those years back.

It costs nothing to start a Facebook group focusing specifically on a subject that you can talk a lot about.

Once that group swells with people, you can make your offer to host a one-time small group mastermind where you talk about that subject in more detail, or help paying individuals.

It is one of the simplest ways to make money.

Yes, you may need a little confidence to be able to talk to several people online, but confidence usually grows AFTER the event and rarely before, so you will need to get started to build your confidence.

Yes, you are going to need to build up a small following first. You cannot just offer a one-time small group mastermind today if you have no followers because there is no one to take you up on the offer.

There will be a delay between starting and making money, but the delay depends on many variables including how fast you grow your following.

How fast you grow your following depends on things like what your chosen subject is, and what you share in your group, etc.

It is possible that by the end of a week, you could have grown a social media or group to be large enough to offer your calls. I’m not saying that you will for definite, but it is possible.

Remember, you don’t need a lot of people for this.

Two one-time small group mastermind calls per month will require only ten or twenty people and it could be possible to find them in a small following of people who are incredibly interested in your chosen subject.

You don’t even need a website for this money making idea.

You can make your offer, have those who are interested send you an email, and then you send them a payment link or bank details for them to make a bank transfer.

They pay you before you do the call. The money is in your bank account before you talk to anyone.

The call is then done using a free-to-use tool such as Skype.

Once you have done a few one-time small group mastermind calls, you may decide to set up a website with a dedicated page to take payments so that you don’t need to keep emailing links to people.

There are hundreds, if not thousands of topics you can talk about as part of a one-time small group mastermind call.

A few examples could be:

I can’t say exactly what Paul and Gareth could talk about, I’m not sure if car mechanics and welding can be discussed within an online one-time small group mastermind, but I am sure there are other things they could talk about.

If not, they could soon learn something that is in demand which they could talk about.

The point of this article is not to say that Paul or Gareth must or could do this as a way to make money, it is to say that it is just one of many ways to make money that people could do relatively easy from home should they need money.

It is easy to do, it can be free to do, you don’t particularly need a lot of people to make this work, and you can charge a decent amount for your time and help.

In that Channel 4 news report, it was reported that Paul was left with £30 on average to live on once rent and bills were paid.

That £30 was to last the month and included his food and drink. It wasn’t just a one-off, this was every month.

He was in a pretty desperate situation.

It will be eased a little when the government finally gives him the money they said he was entitled to as a person with ill health, but until that money comes; he has to live on £30.

That’s a ridiculously low amount of money to survive on.

If he was to hit Facebook and start making connections through a shared interest of a specific topic and then offered a one-time small group mastermind, he could probably soon find enough people to pay him to join a call.

If he charged just £5 per person, six people would mean that he would double his monthly available spends within a couple of hours.

If he charged more, he would give himself a lot more financial breathing space for the month.

As with anything, what you talk about during a one-time small group mastermind call has to be helpful, useful, and transformational.

It has to be worth the money to those who pay. If they pay you £97 to join a call, the call has to deliver something that will give them a result that is ten times the price.

You need to show them how to either make at least £997, save £997, do something fast and/or easy that will indirectly make or save them £997.

Basically, what you teach or help them with has to transform their lives for the better.

An example of this would be paying £97 to someone to show you how to find a remote working position that paid £3,000+ per month allowing you to work from anywhere in the world, doing just 20 hours per week.

If the help and advice landed you a job that did exactly that, it was £97 well spent.

In fact, that call would be worth more than £97 to the person who now has a different life to the one they had pre call.

The Bonus Product

You should record any talks that you do, and then either give them away as a freebie lead magnet to grow an email list, or to sell it as a product.

Remember, people have paid you to help them, and if you have helped them, the information that you shared would also help other people.

The calls could be sold separately (if they are about different topics) similar to the Pay-Per-View Micro Products I have talked about previously, or bundled together and sold as a premium product.

If what you shared in the calls helped people, you can be certain that there will be others who will be willing to pay to access that content.

You could be earning extra money selling access to those recordings for £47, £97, or more.

I’m not going to say that you can be up and running with people paying to join a call within a day, although I’m sure some people could do it, but it is relatively easy as in the fact that you do not need to spend a lot of money setting this up.

To get started for free you will need.

  1. One or two social media profiles to build a following and/or group of interested and like minded people.
  2. An online video system like Skype, Zoom, and Google Meet.
  3. A way to take payment. Easy enough with PayPal, Stripe, or bank transfer.

This is something that can be worked on from home as long as you have an internet connection.

This is something that you can do when you are desperate to make some extra money, but it is also something that you could do over and over again as a business.

If you can find a steady stream of people who are willing to pay you for your help and advice, you could do two calls a month, or maybe even one a week.

The One-To-One Offer

Another variation of this business is to do one-on-one calls with people for 20 to 30 minutes which you charge a premium fee.

In the screenshot above, you can see copywriter and business consultant, Colin Theriot, has been doing a special offer where he was consulting people for 30 minutes for the price of $100.

Normally he charges $300 for a one hour call.

In the month of October he made $3,000 doing these calls, which at time of writing is roughly £2,456.

That’s not bad is it?

Colin earned £2,456 sharing his knowledge with other people and outlined actions to implement in their businesses.

He was paid to talk, and as the screenshot shows, he did that while out walking.

Colin has a large following; he purposely built one so that he could sell these kinds of services and sell his knowledge in products, so it was easy for him to find people willing to pay him.

But that shows you what is possible.

People like Paul and Gareth may not have an online following to sell consultations to and host one-time small group mastermind calls… yet… but they soon could.

One month of posting to social media profiles and groups multiple times a day, every day, could find you enough people to get started with.

Another thing that people in Paul and Gareth’s position could do is to start an online newsletter.

Newsletters can be incredible profitable.

Only yesterday, I read about a woman who makes around £123,840 a year publishing a newsletter about witchcraft.

That is a story to share with you another day, but for now, if you would like to learn more about how easy it is to start a newsletter that can make you a lot of money, click the link below:

Could George Orwell’s ‘Nineteen Eighty-Four’ Make You Money?

I recently read about an artist here in the UK who spent thousands of pounds collecting 6,000 copies of Dan Brown’s bestselling book The Da Vinci Code and turning them into copies of George Orwell’s 1949 classic, Nineteen Eighty-Four.

David Shrigley, 55, first had the idea for the project he calls ‘Pulped Fiction’, after seeing charity shops requesting people to stop donating Dan Brown’s popular book due to them being inundated with them.

The Da Vinci Code was so popular, that once people had finished reading it, many decided to donate their copy at charity shops which meant that for several months, the bestseller was being dropped off in large numbers.

He originally had the idea in 2017 and when he had amassed 6,000 copies of The Da Vinci Code, he had them pulped and then had Orwell’s book reprinted on the new paper that was produced.

Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four fell out of copyright in 2021 which means that it is now in the public domain, which means that anyone can take that book and published it as their own product and keep all 100% of the profits.

Due to the large costs involved with pulping the 6,000 Dan Brown books and reprinting Orwell’s book on the new paper, his new version of Nineteen Eighty-Four have a price tag of £495.

That comes with a 40 minute documentary and the books are numbered and signed by Shrigley himself. The Swansea Oxfam store is selling the books which I believe will raise money for Oxfam.

Shrigley has gone to a lot of effort and hassle to reprint the new versions of Nineteen Eighty-Four. It was part of an art project and a way to bring some attention to the fact charity shops were often inundated with the same books that they struggle to sell, as well as raise money for charity.

You, on the other hand, you can publish books that are in the public domain incredibly fast and cheaply.

In a previous article I talked about how a guy called Matt Kirkland had built an email list of over 200,000 people by releasing Bram Stoker’s Dracula book as a newsletter.

Dracula, just like Nineteen Eighty-Four, is in the public domain and is free to use as you wish.

Obviously, you wouldn’t pass it off as your own work, far too many people know the book, but you are free to reproduce the book and sell it without paying any licensing fees or royalties.

I dare say that you could give Nineteen Eighty-Four away for free as an eBook and grow an email list focusing on conspiracies. The book is loved by those who think they are being controlled by a group of elites.

You could use Nineteen Eighty-Four and possible create a product around it somehow. I’m not sure as to what kind of product, but taking Matt Kirkland as an example, there could be a newsletter there at least.

The public domain is a huge resource of content that people can use to make money.

How A Lack Of Awareness Keeps People Struggling

I happened to come across a video on X (Twitter as it was/is better known as) taken from a Channel 4 News report about the current cost of living crisis.

The report was dated the 24th of this month so it is very recent.

In the clip, the reporter spoke to two guys, Paul, 57, and Gareth, 55.

Both were forced to use the local food bank in Weston-super Mare due to not being able to afford to buy food.

Paul is a qualified vehicle repair technician and mechanic but sadly had to prematurely give up work due to ill health.

He currently receives £843 per month on Universal Credit, but is due to get more because of his health issues. He has yet to receive that extra money.

He is struggling due to a recent hike in rent which now costs him £620 per month.

After paying rent, bills and insurances, Paul is left with an average of £30 per month to spend on anything else, and that included his food and drink.

He lives alone in a small flat consisting of a small kitchen, a small bathroom, and a room that is both his bedroom and sitting room.

As a way to save money, Paul keeps the lights off as much as possible.

Paul admits that he is very lucky to have a good neighbour who helps him by buying things such as milk so that he can enjoy a warm cup of tea.

He is forced to ration his money and now only eats one meal a day to preserve food.

When asked what he had eaten the day before, he told the reporter that he had eaten fish fingers and beans as his only meal.

Gareth was in a similar position to Paul. A welder fabricator by trade, he too was forced to give up work after a spinal injury affected his hands leaving him unable to hold things steady.

Gareth told the reporter that on occasions he had been forced to share a tin of tuna with the cat due to the fact he couldn’t afford to buy much food.

OK, I have to be very careful what I say here and how I say it.

There are a lot of people struggling at the moment and there are a lot of impoverished areas in Britain. I cannot deny that…

But what I do find frustrating is that there are a lot of people who simply do not know of ‘other ways’ to make much needed money.

I am not going to say that they are all easy and that they will make tens of thousands of pounds in the first month, but there are ways for people who are struggling to make money which could give them the room to breathe a little more easily.

Most of what I suggest is online and so they will require electric and access to the internet to make them work, but that isn’t such a hurdle either.

I have previously reported about a guy called Mike who was homeless and living in a tent in a park in Portland, Oregon, who went on to build several 7-figure business thanks to using the computers at the local library.

The big difference between Mike, Paul and Gareth is that Mike knew that he could make money writing articles for other people. He also knew that he could access the laptops for free at the local library to get online.

There are many ways to make money from home using the internet, but when money is tight and people are rationing their use of electricity and possibly cancelling their internet service, they could be making it harder on themselves.

But, there are many places they can go which they could use until they are in a better position.

Many coffee shops and cafes now offer free access to the internet and allow people to plug their devices in.

Libraries and other public places offer free internet access and allow you to use their lights and electric.

When using a coffee shop you will need to buy a drink and possibly some food which is not going to be easy if you really are strapped for cash, and over the long term, it doesn’t work out any cheaper than working from home…

However…

It is a great alternative to help you get started.

Working from a coffee shop or public space that is accepting of remote workers is good because it means that you can enjoy their lights and heating while saving money by not using yours.

As for people like Paul and Gareth who are basically at rock bottom and can’t afford to buy drinks, going to coffee shops may not be a viable option, but they could go to libraries and do some research and learn a new skill.

I have talked numerous times about how people make money writing articles for other people, writing and sending emails, creating digital products such as eBooks, newsletters, and video courses.

They could be a fantastic way for people like Paul and Gareth to make extra money.

Even if Paul made just £10 a month from one of the above, he has basically increased his available spending money from £30 to £40 which may not sound a lot, but percentage wise, it is a huge 33% increase.

There is no reason as to why he couldn’t earn more.

Yes, it can take time to build an online empire like Noah Smith who is reported to earn a staggering £800,000 a year from his paid newsletter about economics.

But… and I have to be careful how I say this… Paul and Gareth are not working so they have quite a bit of time available to work on an online business.

The point of this article is not to bash people who are down and struggling; it is to point out that most people don’t actually know what opportunities are available to them.

Sadly, people don’t know what they don’t know.

They are kept in the cycle of struggle because of a lack of knowledge and awareness.

There are many opportunities available today that could really help people out of a hole.

They may not be right for everyone, but for the short term, they could be a real life saver.

They could really help get people back into some kind of normality where they are not forced to sit in the dark eating only once a day and sharing their food with the cat.

It’s Really Not About The Hustle And Grind!

Over the last few years there has been a lot of talk about the need to hustle and grind constantly if you want to be successful.

An industry has grown around the constant hustle and grind.

Online ‘gurus’ and marketers have been encouraging people want to be successful and wealthy to hustle and grind every available hour.

They push this idea that if you are not asleep, you should be hustling. Otherwise you won’t be successful.

This is… how do I put it… a load of old bullshit!

Firstly, the hustle philosophy is similar to the law-of-attraction philosophy in that it is something simple that everyone can do. Hustle basically means ‘doing’ and everyone can ‘do’ something.

And if a ‘hustler’ fails, it can be explained away by blaming the person insisting that they hadn’t ‘hustled’ hard enough.

It is an industry which the encourager cannot be blamed and sued as there is nothing to sue for.

Hustle = effort.

And so if someone doesn’t succeed, it’s simply passed off that they didn’t put enough effort in.

The truth is that the people you see encouraging other people to hustle hustle hustle, have teams of people who do most of the hustle for them, and… it isn’t necessarily the hustling that gets them their results.

Financial success is not always about how hard you work; it is very often about what you deliver, at what price, and how many people pay for it.

You can work very hard digging ditches but it is unlikely to make you wealthy. One person will pay you for your efforts, that’s it.

Moving soil from one place to another takes a lot of effort, but it won’t reward you with a lot of money.

However, sitting on your sofa in your slippers, wearing your ‘comfies’ writing a weekly newsletter, while sipping on a mug of tea and nibbling biscuits can change your financial situation in ways working hard digging ditches cannot.

You see, financial success doesn’t come from hard work; it comes from supplying a lot of people with a product they want at a price most people are willing to pay.

That product can be incredibly simple and easy to create and deliver.

What matters is that the product is needed by a large number of people.

Yes, you need to get it in front of people, and yes, that isn’t necessarily a five minute job that you do just once.

You will need to get people to buy your product… but you don’t need to hustle and grind every hour of every day.

An 8 to 12 page PDF newsletter (access to a webpage or short video) needs doing just once each month and can be sold for a price between £5 and £97 (depending on the subject matter and its ability to transform a person’s life).

One person paying you £5 for your newsletter (access to a webpage or short video) is £5.

But 200 people paying you £5 for the same newsletter is £1,000.

2,000 people paying you £5 for the same newsletter is a cool £10,000!

2,000 people paying £5 per month for your newsletter is a rather decent £120,000!

With over 5 billion people globally using the internet each day, it shouldn’t be hard to find a couple of thousand newsletter subscribers.

The money is not the result of the constant hustle and grind, but the amount of people who are buying your newsletter or products.

Hustle and grind is useful, but it doesn’t need to be constant. If anything, constantly hustling will probably take you away from success.

Hustling is often nothing more than being ‘busy’ and being busy is often mistaken for being productive.

Being busy and being productive are two very different things.

A lot of people spend their time being busy and have nothing to show for their efforts.

That is because they are busy with the wrong things and they don’t give themselves time to sit down and reflect on what they are actually doing.

People often spend their time over working and making things complicated.

Instead, they should be creating and publishing simple content which they get paid for multiple times.
