£16,579 Per Month From Just One 20 Page Book

I’ve just read about a guy named Michael who sold a business that was earning him approximately $20,000 (£16,579 at time of writing) per month.

This was a monthly membership business where people paid him a subscription to receive one new book each month.

Within 60 days of launching the business he had over 100 subscribers paying him $97 (£80) giving him a monthly income around $10,000 (£8,289) which he grew to $20,000 (£16,579) per month before selling the business on for a decent profit.

The books that he published each month were printed books that were sent out in the mail… but here’s the thing… the books were usually only 20 pages long.

Sometimes they were less!

Initially, a new subscriber was sent a larger book which outlined how to get started with making an income online and set up their business.

After that, they received one new short book each month that taught them complimentary subjects which helped them to grow their online business and make money online.

Basically, each new book was a chapter of a larger book.

I want you to stop and think about that for a minute.

Michael was earning between $10,000 and $20,000 (£8,289 and £16,579) per month for publishing just one book that was only 20 pages or less.

How long would it take you to create 20 pages of content?

Not long at all I’d imagine.

Could you create 20 pages of content each month if it was earning you between $10,000 and $20,000 (£8,289 and £16,579)?

Would you create 20 pages of content if it was paying between $10,000 and $20,000 (£8,289 and £16,579)?

Hopefully the answer is yes, yes you would.

Unless you really enjoyed creating the content yourself, you could pay someone else to do it for you, especially if you were earning the same amounts of money as Michael.

The point is this… there were people paying $97 (£80) per month to receive a small book on a topic which they could get from multiple places online.

There’s probably thousands of websites offering the same information for free.

Michael created a ‘series’ of books as part of a product, and people were happy to pay for it.

$97 is a good price but so much of that would cover the cost to print the books and post them. There were also commissions to be paid from that because Michael used affiliates to help grow the subscription figures.

Even so, here were people who were happily paying $97 to receive one short book each month… if that doesn’t tell you that it’s possible to make money publishing information and/or thin books from home, nothing will.

Previously I have talked about the bestselling author Seanan McGuire who makes around ten thousand pounds each month writing and publishing short fiction stories for her fans.

Unlike Michael who was selling just a few hundred copies of his books for a larger fee, Seanan sells to several thousand people for less.

She uses the Patreon platform which allows her to set different price tiers meaning that subscribers can pay more and receive more.

Seanan doesn’t send out  physical copies of her book, she publishes them as eBooks that fans can access via the Patreon platform meaning that she doesn’t need to charge as much as Michael, nor does she have to focus on getting books printed.

Subscription businesses like these can be incredibly profitable… and they can be incredibly simple to run.

The biggest hurdle to these kinds of businesses is getting people to your sales page where they can join.

Michael used affiliates to drive traffic to his sales page whereas Seanan informed her fan base, which was already established thanks to her being a bestselling author, of her Patreon profile.

Putting aside the fact that Seanan had an established following, the fact remains that it is possible for anyone and everyone to make money publishing information and fiction stories.

Very few people are born with an established following, network of affiliates, or an email list, these are built and grown. Michael and Seanan started at square one and are now reaping the benefits.

The styles may be different; Michael published information in real books, Seanan self-published fiction as eBooks (she also has real books being published through publishing houses), but they both made a lot of money publishing and selling books to people through the internet.

The internet is global and it means that you can put yourself in front of hundreds and thousands of people on a daily basis.

You have the tools in your pocket and on your desk that you can use to build a profitable subscription business.

Kind regards

PS…With a subscription based business you are not exchanging your time for money working for just one person at a time, you are supplying a product or service each month to a large number of people… or a relatively small number of people as in the case of Michael.

Charging just £5 a month to access content isn’t a lot. One person paying you £5 won’t make you rich. But what if you had 1000 people paying you just £5 a month?

You would earn £5,000 a month… which isn’t bad, is it?

Delivering Parcels Nearly Destroyed Her…

I watched as he banged on the door then ran.

The door opened and a confused pensioner came out looking up and down the road to see if anyone was about only to find a parcel on her doorstep.

The delivery driver was probably on the other side of town by now, speeding to get to his next drop off.

That was the scene I witnessed the other day.

I watched as a guy rushed around throwing parcels onto doorsteps, banging hard on doors then scooting off at speed.

The reason he was rushing around is that the job is crap!

Let’s be honest… they are not the best jobs.

I can’t comment on the pay today, but a few years ago they were terrible.

Many years ago, Andi our techy guy, was forced to step in and help his good lady, Viki, who had decided to try delivering parcels for Yodel.

Having ME and fibromyalgia she was forced to give up working in schools with children with autism and other conditions, a job she loved.

Not wanting to sit around and do nothing, she thought delivering parcels could be something that she could probably manage.

It was running up to Christmas and so the parcel numbers were building up, but still not too much according to the guy who dropped them off at Andi’s house – late!

A delivery company that fails to deliver parcels to its workers on time on their first day surely has to be a warning sign!

Viki was to use her own car and deliver a stack of parcels around the town.

Not only were the parcels delivered to her a couple of hours late, the machine that logged the parcels and plot the routes to make the journey easier wasn’t working, and… she had to have them all delivered by no later than 9pm (I believe).

No one was to work later than 9pm.

All the parcels were supposed to be processed before being delivered using the machine which was broken, so it was done by hand using a laptop connected to a specific website.

This was her first day on the job!

She had a huge pile of parcels to deliver, she needed to log them all before taking them out, the machine to do it was broken and so she needed to manual input numbers into a system on a website she had never used before.

The only training she was given was by the delivery driver who was rushing because he was already behind on schedule.

As I say, it was her first day on the job. Not the best start.

Viki loaded all of the parcels into the car, and set out several hours behind schedule to deliver them around the area.

A couple of hours later Andi received a phone call from Viki in tears. She was struggling.

Some people were not in to receive the parcels and so they couldn’t be left because they either needed a signature or there was nowhere safe to leave them… others were not happy that their parcel was late and were rude.

She was rushing back and forth like a headless chicken, and that was taking its toll.

Viki was struggling.

Andi stepped in to drive so that she could jump out and quickly take the parcel to the door. He would sit in the car with the engine running ready to shoot off to the next address.

By six o’clock, Viki was completely wiped out. She was in a lot of pain and heavily fatigued.

Andi took her home and then carried on until the end of the day.

Andi is healthy and fairly strong and so he was able to dash around and work relatively fast… but that still wasn’t enough.

At the end of the day there was still a boot full of parcels yet to be delivered which would be added to the following day’s deliveries.

When Andi arrived home just after nine he told Viki to call Yodel and tell them not to bother dropping off another load the following day.

For the money, it just wasn’t worth it. Pay may be better today, but back then it wasn’t.

The following day Andi went out and delivered the remaining parcels, which still took up half of the day, and swore that he would never do a deliver job like that unless he had no other option.

He found out a week later that his cousin, Steve, also had a similar experience.

Steve managed to complete a couple of weeks before quitting. He was forced to have his father drive the car for him so that he could quickly deliver the parcels.

Without someone driving the car, there was no way the parcels could all be delivered in a day. It was impossible.

Running back and forth across town, going back to places where no one was in earlier trying to ensure that all parcels were delivered that day, was more stressful than working in the building trade that he was trying to escape from.

Steve didn’t stay in the job longer than a couple of weeks.

When you rely on a second person to drive you around, it becomes a two person job with a one person wage… and you also have the cost of fuel to take out of that.

That’s crap!

Maybe it suits some people, an Olympic athlete with ADHD and energy to burn might love it and be able to make it work… but for a lot of people I imagine they do it because they believe they have no other choice.

The problem is that for those people, they are working hard for pennies.

I have seen ‘couples’ doing the delivery, sharing the load just as Andi did with Viki that day, and his cousin did with his father.

Two people sharing a wage working late into the evening… they are working hard for next to nothing.

It’s not a job that I would recommend to anyone.

Even as a last resort I wouldn’t recommend it.

Why?

Because I know that there are a lot more opportunities available today that are a lot better in many ways.

  • They pay more.
  • They won’t cost you money in car fuel.
  • They don’t require two people to do the work for one wage.
  • They can be done from the comfort of your own home.
  • They can be done from anywhere in the world.
  • Some require little equipment.
  • Some require little to no up-front financial investment.
  • They can be done at any time of the day or night.
  • Some don’t require selling or needing customers.
  • Those that do, customers and clients don’t need to be local. They can come from all around the world.

I’m sure there is more I could add to that list, but you can see what I am getting at.

Today, there are countless different ways to make money that don’t require you to run yourself into the ground for pennies.

One brilliant example of that would be affiliate marketing.

It can cost nothing to start and you can earn large commissions… depending on which products you promote.

Thanks to social media, you can start today to promote products online for free.

Now, I am not going to say that you will just suddenly start to make money today promoting affiliate products… it all depends on what you do, how many people you get your promotions in front of and what kind of people they are.

Sticking pictures of beef burgers in front of 10,000 vegans will not make you any money.

Stick a vegan burger in front of them and you will have a few takers… stick that burger in front of them several times and you will have a lot more takers.

Like most things in life, you need to follow a plan that is proven to work.

One method of selling products for affiliate commissions that is proven to work is through the use of email.

Building an email list in specific markets is a powerful way to make money… and you can get started today.

I am currently giving away a FREE eBook about email marketing.

Be warned, I haven’t decided for how long I will give it away for free, I may delete the page next week… so if you haven’t yet got your copy, get it now before it is no longer available.

PS… There’s a reason that I talk about email marketing a fair bit, and that is because it works!

How I Made £4,000 One Weekend With A Product I Hadn’t Even Created!

You’ll be pleased to know that I haven’t been far this week and so I don’t have any new ‘overheard’ stories to share with you.

I’ve not seen anything interesting online or on television that I can talk about either, so because of that…I’m going to do something a little different today.

I am going to share with you a 40+ page eBook that outlines everything you need to know on how you can successfully build a profitable email marketing business.

I’ve talked many times before about how powerful it is to have your own email list.

An email list that is used regularly can make you a lot of money… as long as the people on that email list are actually interested in what it is that you are promoting.

At the start of the Covid lockdown in 2020, I made £4,000 one weekend promoting just an idea for a product. Once people showed an interest and sales started coming in, I made the product.

That product made tens of thousands of pounds over the course of a year.

That’s one of the great things about an active email list, you can test product ideas and see if people are interested in buying them before you make them.

An email list should be built around a specific niche or industry.

That is how you grow an email list of people who are interested in what you have to offer.

If you wanted to sell products that help people to earn money as a writer, you would give away a free report, eBook or video – known as a lead magnet – on the subject of writing.

The lead magnet could be something like ‘How To Land Your First £1,000 Paying Writing Client’, or ‘How To Land And Manage 10 Or More £1,000 Per Month Writing Clients’.

That way, you will get the right people on your list.

Those who sign up for the free product have shown a strong interest in becoming a writer, or is a writer who wants to improve their chances of making money with their craft.

To show you the whole process, I have left the opt-in form on the page so you will need to sign up to receive your FREE copy of the eBook.

You will go through the process of signing up, confirming the opt-in, receiving the eBook automatically via email… and you will see how email marketers make money during a sign-up by sending new subscribers to a Segue Page (sometimes called a Bridging Page) which leads them onto a paid product offer.

Once these systems are built and live online, you need not do anything to them other than send people to them and write new emails to send to the growing list… emails which can take as little as five minutes.

In the eBook I show you several powerful methods of getting people to your website and opt-in form so that they can sign-up for your lead magnet.

With email marketing, you can promote your own products, or you can promote other people’s products and get paid a commission whenever a sale is made.

There are thousands of products that you can promote to your email list; some of them pay several thousand pounds per sale.

Imagine that you currently earn £2,000 per month doing a 40 hour a week job, and in your spare time you started to build your own email business and as it grew, you begin to make one sale a month of a product which pays you a £2,000 commission.

Firstly, you double your monthly income, and secondly, you could leave your job and replace your wage and regain your freedom with an income that you can keep growing.

One sale a month of a product that pays you a £2,000 commission could grow to two sales per month, or three sales per month… or more.

Not only could you have more free time to do more of the things you enjoy, you’ll also have more time available to grow your email business to the point that you are making more sales per month earning you far more money.

Obviously, how much you make depends on many factors such as what niche you choose to work in, what your lead magnet is like, how responsive the people on your list are, how many emails you send, and what products you offer them.

If you regularly emailed an incredibly active list and offered them products priced at £197 or more, you will make more money than if you sent one email a month to a list that wasn’t responsive and you only promoted products under £25.

Makes sense, doesn’t it?

But all of that is under your control.

You choose the industry, you choose the products to sell, and you choose how many times you email the list and what you write about in each email.

Anyway, go and get your FREE eBook about email marketing before I decide to remove the page.

If I Gave You £250 Right Now… What Would You Do?

If I gave you £250 today, what would you do with it?

The reason I ask is that one of the things I hear most when I happen to ‘overhear’ people talking is that when they get a surprise lump sum of money such as a work bonus, a tax rebate, a win on the lottery etc… it is used to buy treats.

There is nothing wrong with that whatsoever… other than the fact that most of the people I hear talking about money, are usually lamenting that they don’t have enough.

The reason they spend that little windfall on treating themselves to something nice is that they say that they never have enough spare to spend on treats…ironically they say that while tucking into an overpriced slice of cake and cappuccino.

So, if I were to give you £250 today and say that you can use it any way that you choose, what would you do with it?

Would you spend it on a night out?

Buy some new clothes?

Would you put it towards a holiday?

Would you treat yourself to a few takeaways and a few bottles of wine?

Would you go and spend a night in a hotel and have a short break somewhere you have always wanted to visit?

Maybe go and see your favourite band?

How you choose to use that free money is very telling.

When people get free money, it seems that the last thing most of them do is use it to make more money… which would be the more logical decision.

If having a spare £250 meant that you could treat yourself to a nice break away, or a nice meal out or a being able to go and see your favourite bands, what would having a spare £250 per week do for you?

£250 could easily have an eBook written that could generate thousands of pounds in revenue.

Only this morning I read about a woman named Tabitha in the US who generated £26,460 ($30,000) in thirty days writing and publishing her own eBook.

I don’t know if she spent any money on sending people to her eBook or where she hosted it, but I do know that in 30 days she made $30K selling it.

She left her 9 to 5 because of the sales of that one eBook.

Now you understand why I like to regularly promote our 30 Day To £30K Challenge product… Tabitha is yet more proof that people are creating digital products that are making life changing amounts of money.

She, like so many other people, wrote her eBook herself, but you could quite easily get a decent eBook written for £250, you’ll need to shop around to find the right writer, but it is doable.

The £250 could also be used as a ‘starting bank’ in Betfair.

A ‘starting bank’ is money that is used as leverage to make more money.

Philip Blake makes between £250 – £375 TAX FREE money per week with Betfair using a system he developed during the lockdowns of 2020.

He named his system the Second Half Sniper System because he places his bets in the second half of football games that fit his criteria.

Philip checks one specific table on a free website and with a little calculation he comes up with a list of football matches to bet on.

Because of how he selects his games, he wins more than he loses which means that he can make a decent £250 – £375 TAX FREE money per week.

The system is super simple, it can be learned in an hour or less meaning that you don’t need to spend hours trying to learn something complicated.

In today’s fast paced world, that’s a godsend!

You Don’t Have To Be A Member Of The Mafia To Be Incredibly Wealthy!

I caught the beginning of one of the episodes of the new series of Silent Witness last week, for those who don’t know, Silent Witness follows a team of Home Office forensic pathologists who help the police solve murders and suspicious deaths.

In this particular episode the team were called to the body of a man who was found dead after falling from a skyscraper in the City of London. The team were there to help determine whether he had jumped, fell, or worse, was pushed to his death.

The death came to the attention of the National Crime Agency (NCA) who was investigating money laundering through British banks by an Italian organised crime cartel.

In one scene, while looking at the huge office blocks and skyscrapers the woman in charge of the investigation said something along the lines of “All great wealthy empires are built on crime.”

She was saying that all the buildings that she could see were built by companies who were trying to either hide or wash money that had been gained from criminal activities.

My first thought upon hearing this was that this is why most honest and decent people believe they can’t be wealthy… they believe that wealthy people are only wealthy because they are criminals.

Basically, they believe that they cannot be wealthy because they are good decent people and not morally or ethically bankrupt criminals.

The perpetuation of this myth, as seen in Silent Witness, causes a negative belief in the minds of good people.

That belief is that to become wealthy and have all the money they dream of, they have to do something illegal and be an unscrupulous criminal.

That is simply not true.

You may need to become a bit ‘thick skinned’ at times, and maybe take a few more risks than normal…

But you don’t need to become like Pablo Escobar, the Godfather of an international drug smuggling cartel that manages its business affairs with the use of violence, intimidation and fear.

Ok, I know it was just a drama and conversations and scenes are designed to create ‘dramatic effect’.

A drama is meant to pull people into the story… but they can also do subtle damage when they are factually inaccurate and misleading.

I am not saying that there are not wealthy people or companies who ‘hide’ money or cut a few corners. Some may not be fully ethical in their dealings, it’s true.

And yes, there are some who are despicable and need shutting down and people imprisoning.

But not every wealthy person made their money by smuggling dangerous drugs into countries or sold weapons illegally to regimes known to kill innocent men, women and children.

Not all wealthy people banked profits while causing untold misery and suffering to their fellow humans.

Yes, it happens, but it’s not true of everyone

Sadly, the idea that all wealthy people and corporations are bad is constantly being talked about.

When someone wealthy does something wrong, it is in the news, on the television, on social media, on the radio and in the papers… it is being seen and heard about all the time.

But when a wealthy person does something good, it may be reported once, it may be mentioned in an article or on a talk show… but it doesn’t get the same level of coverage as the bad because it doesn’t feed into the love of drama and disgust we humans seem to enjoy.

Generally, there is nothing majorly newsworthy in good deeds.

Very few people knew about how much money the singer George Michael donated to charities and to individuals until after he died. His death was newsworthy, not his kind actions and good deeds.

The truth is…not all wealthy people or organisations are built off the backs of criminal activities.

Take Emanuel Haldeman-Juliu for example, he was one of the biggest publishers in the USA during the 1920s, and a millionaire several times over.

He made his fortune publishing ‘affordable’ books made from cheap ‘pulp’ which tens of thousands of people bought and read. As far as I can tell, no one suffered because of his business practices… and yet he was incredibly wealthy.

The world-famous Woolworth’s building in New York was built by Frank W. Woolworth who built a huge retail empire selling cheap products. I don’t believe people were killed, exploited, or forced to suffer addiction as part of his wealth building either.

I’m no historian and so I can’t speak with total confidence that both of those men didn’t do something a little ‘shady’ or bend a few rules to succeed now and then… but I doubt they ‘offed’ the competition by sending them to sleep with the fishes.

Love her or loathe her, JK Rowling has enjoyed a lot of wealth thanks to writing stories which have entertained millions – possibly billions – of people world-wide.

Apart from upsetting a few people with her comments and opinions on twitter, I don’t think she has done anything bad.

She certainly hasn’t gained her wealth through criminal activities or the direct and indirect suffering of others.

So let’s be clear… wealth is not just for bad people!

It is not just for gangsters and organised crime cartels… it can be for anyone who is brave enough to give the world something that it wants or needs.

One thing the world constantly needs is information.

Emanuel Haldeman-Juliu knew this well which is why he published his series of Little Blue Books which made him incredibly wealthy.

With a world constantly changing and evolving, people regularly need new information to help them navigate through life.

They need information to help them:

  • Stay fit and healthy.
  • Make more money.
  • Keep the money they have.
  • Find the perfect partner.
  • And to do anything and everything.

Information is one of the most profitable commodities today. It always has been… and it always will be.

Lost In Deepest Peru Without A Penny… What Would You Do?

Recently I had a conversation with a woman who told me that she was concerned about her son who was living in Peru… and no, his name isn’t Paddington and I don’t know if he likes marmalade sandwiches.

One of the reasons she was concerned was that he had overstayed his welcome. He had stayed longer than his visa allowed.

It didn’t help either that he was struggling financially as he was not working or earning any money.

His girlfriend was Peruvian so that may help should the authorities find him… or it may not.

Apparently he used to work for Apple, but she didn’t say whether he worked online or whether he had to go to a place of work when he was employed by them.

The picture that I had in my mind was that he was kind of ‘hiding’ out somewhere in deepest Peru without a job and with little money.

I can’t say that it sounds like much fun.

It was at this point that I suggested that he should either look for online remote work or if he was really desperate and needed money quick, go to one of the many websites that are looking for writers and earn money writing content for people.

Even with all of this talk about AI writing tools taking over the world, there is still a huge demand for ‘real’ writers.

The reason I suggested it is that this would be a perfect way for someone who is holed up in a foreign country to make some much needed money.

There is a whole range of services he could offer online.

People need social media managers, virtual assistants, graphic designers, researchers, there are a lot of things he could do… but writing is probably the easiest to get started with.

Firstly, you don’t need to be that brilliant at writing.

And secondly, it requires no tools other than something to write in such as MS Word or Google Docs, and a way to send the work to the client, which is often done through platforms like Fiverr and Upwork by simply uploading the finished work.

It’s all very simple and easy.

For someone who is currently not working and is sat around twiddling his thumbs… he could quite easily spend the day writing several articles and have money in the bank before nightfall.

I know that writing isn’t for everyone… but ‘when needs must’, it is probably the easiest way to make money online today… and it can be done from anywhere in the world.

In a previous articles I have shared with you the story of Mike Shreeve who at a low point in life found himself homeless and living in a tent in a park.

Knowing that he had no other option but to pull himself out of the mire and find the money so that he could rent an apartment, he took himself to the nearest library everyday and used the library’s computers to make money writing for clients.

He turned his life around by simply writing for clients.

I recently shared with you that I had earned £504 during January sharing my articles on the Medium website; I currently have £25.29 in my Medium account for the first two days of February… who knows how much I’ll have made by the end of the month!

Those articles which are making money on Medium, I write them for specific projects and then share them on the platform as a way to send people to my website.

The money from them is a bonus.

Imagine if the guy lost in Peru was publishing his own articles to sites like Medium as well as writing for paid clients, he could soon be earning more than enough money to survive… at least he’ll be able to afford the flight home to avoid being sent to prison.

The truth is… there is money to be made with the written word… in more ways than one.

Earlier this week I shared with you the story of Niki Puls who made just shy of £97,000 in nine months after writing and publishing her first eBook.

She now runs a six-figure business off the back of that initial eBook.

There is nothing stopping you from doing the same…

There is a lot of money waiting for you at the tip of your fingers.

Why You Shouldn’t Rely On ‘Lady Luck’

I’m not a big fan of the word ‘lucky’, specifically when it is used in a sentence like ‘you’re lucky to have so much money’.

There is nothing ‘lucky’ about me having the amounts of money I have.

I have what I have by choice and work.

I made specific decisions, set targets and goals, and then worked towards them.

Yes, there may be days where the planets aligned and things went better than expected… but I still had to put myself in the right place and do the right things to experience the results I wanted.

Samuel Goldwyn said:

“The harder I work, the luckier I get.”

It is true.

When someone appears to be living a wonderful life gifted with a lot of ‘luck’, it is usually the result of a series of decisions and actions that they had previously made rather than some benevolent universal force gifting goodies out to a handful of people.

For example, a young radio presenter lands himself the lead role on a new television show and then lands himself a book deal with a big name publisher for his children’s books.

The radio presenter lands roles and deals that ordinary people can only dream of.

From the outside, he appears to be ‘lucky’.

I use this example because I know a person who has written children’s stories and dislikes the fact that celebrities are publishing children’s books through big publishing houses and gaining instant sales.

I understand his dismay; it looks like ordinary people are not getting a look-in. They are being completely overlooked.

The problem isn’t that celebrities like the radio presenter are ‘lucky’ and that others are not…

It’s just that he has put himself in the sights of television executives and publishing houses by becoming a popular radio presenter.

They have seen what he can do and what he can bring to the table.

He may already have a large fan base which can mean instant viewers and sales lowering their risk.

Being liked by thousands of people that can potentially lead to a lot of sales can have a powerful effect on your ‘approval’ status with book publishers and television executives.

It’s easier to take a chance on a person who has hundreds of thousands of people listening to his radio show than an ordinary person who is only known to his close friends and family.

The fact that he is already known and liked means instant sales which will help cover book promotion costs etc.

Unfair?

Perhaps…

Lucky?

No, it’s just how life works.

He worked hard to get into the position of being a popular radio presenter.

He worked hard proving that he can present live radio shows and handle live situations when covering gigs and festivals.

As part of his job he would have attended awards ceremonies and spoken to the right people in a way that impressed.

Luck didn’t just pick him up and drop him into good positions and situations. Luck is not a big magic Genie… it is a result.

It is the result of doing specific things and making specific decisions.

It is the combination of previous decisions and actions. They all have a knock-on effect which take you in specific directions and expose you to specific people.

It is the same with everything in life.

The other day someone told Andi , our remote working techy guy, that he was ‘lucky’ to be living in Portugal.

There was no luck involved, he had spent a long time working through the visa process and getting himself into a position where it was unlikely that they would refuse him.

Many others have done it and many more will do it too, there was no luck involved… it was down to doing what was necessary to make it happen.

And that’s the important part… you have to make things happen.

I appreciate that it is ‘only a saying’, but I think it is a harmful saying because it can have people who say it a lot thinking that they cannot achieve the same things that other people can.

This is not true.

You make your own luck in this world.

You have to make things happen.

It’s as simple as that.

If you want to enjoy more money than you currently have then you need to make it  happen.

If you want an extra one or two grand each month, you have to find a way to make it… and luck has nothing to do with it.

Luck is something lazy people rely on… wealthy people rely on action, decisions, systems and businesses.

One such business that can easily pay you an extra £1,000 or more each month is the business of selling products through the use of email.

Done correctly, selling products via email can be one of the easiest and fastest ways to make money.

You write an email, send it, and wait for the notifications informing you that you have had sales and made money.

It can be that easy.

The Email Secret

It’s The Small Changes That Can Lead To Massive Changes

Picture source: Niki Puls/Business Insider

In yesterday’s article I shared the story of Niki Puls who made just shy of £97,000 in a six month period after publishing her first eBook.

Writing and publishing her first eBook snowballed into her creating an email course showing people how to make money publishing their own eBooks and an eBook template.

Publishing those three digital products resulted in her growing a six-figure business.

It took a week to write that eBook… a small change to Niki’s life.

In January, I earned £504 ($622) from publishing articles to the website Medium.com.

Adding those articles to Medium is a small change to my day, but it has resulted in making over £1,200 since I started.

£1,200 is not quite the same as the thousands of pounds Niki was earning with her eBook and course, but it is still a decent chunk of money earned from ‘writing’.

Both cases highlight the opportunities there are to make money by simply writing and publishing that writing online.

The internet has blown the doors wide-open and it allows anyone the opportunity to make money publishing their written work.

This opportunity could really help those who need it.

Previously I mentioned the young woman who had spent £250 on gas in the first three weeks of January. I wouldn’t be surprised if she had spent around £300 by the end of the month.

The £1,200 I earned publishing my content on Medium would have helped her a lot by paying for the gas for a few months.

I may not earn £504 in February, I may earn less… I may even earn more, but I shall earn something which will help pay towards the running costs of my business.

At least it pays for the tea, coffee and biscuits for the staff.

For an ordinary everyday person, that money could really help towards their living expenses, and all it took was writing an article a day (which I use for other projects too) and post them to Medium.

I’d imagine that most people could write a short article a day. It could be done while sitting in front of the television.

It really isn’t that hard.

It would be a small change to your day.

Even if all you earned was just a small £100 a month, it would be a big help.

However… there is no reason as to why you cannot earn way more than that each month.

Going back to the example of Niki Puls who wrote and published an eBook which earned her nearly £100K in nine months… the articles you write and published on Medium could…

  1. Be compiled and turned into an eBook.
  2. Point to a website where you have an eBook for sale.

If you planned your articles well, you could write an eBook while publishing the content on Medium and your website. Those articles become part of the eBook later.

Not only could you earn money from the articles you publish to Medium, they become an asset that you can sell for many years.

Or if you decide to write an eBook around a specific topic first, you can then write relevant articles which you publish to Medium driving potential customers to your eBook.

It really is a simple business model with huge potential.

Not only is it simple to do, you can start today for free.

If you choose to have your own website to sell your own products from – I recommend you do – you will need to invest between £80 and £150 to get started, so you might want to make some money publishing content to Medium first.

How To Build A Six-Figure-A-Year Income Without Spending A Penny Of Your Own Money!

The hardest part of making money as a writer is believing that you can do it well enough to make money.

Most people believe that they need to be a university graduate to be able to make money writing, and there’s nothing further from the truth.

Yes, you need to be good… but you don’t need to be perfect.

The best thing a newbie writer can do is to read several ‘popular’ articles and eBooks and study the way they are written, take a few notes so that they have a cheat sheet or a list of rules to follow, then write sticking to those rules.

The most important aspect of being a writer is that what you write about is interesting enough to be read.

That’s it!

Publishing your own eBooks and reports can be incredibly profitable.

I’ve shared with you Niki Puls’ story as well as the stories of others who have made a lot of money publishing eBooks.

As you know, publishing manuals and books is how we make a lot of money, and you can do the same.

The internet has opened the doors to anyone who wants to make a passive income publishing eBooks, both information based eBooks and fiction.

By creating your own fully automated systems to sell your digital products, you can earn a passive income.

How One Woman Generated £96,910 In Passive Income In Just 9 Months Working Only 5 Hours Per Week!

Picture source: Niki Puls/Business Insider

I happened across an old article first published on the Business Insider website from December 27th, 2022, which focused on 30-year-old American, Niki Puls.

The reason Business Insider was writing about Niki is that she had shared a video on the popular video sharing platform TikTok explaining how she makes $1,000 a day in passive income.

$1,000 is roughly £807 and according to Business Insider, Niki has made an impressive $120,000 (approx £96,910) in nine months working only five hours per week.

Most of that is made selling only three digital products…

  1. An eBook currently priced at $18 (£14.50)
  2. An email course about selling digital products priced at $97 (£78.34)
  3. An eBook template priced at $27 (£21.80)

(UK price conversion at time of writing)

When Niki created her first eBook, she was earning $60,000 (approx £48,455) per year working a 9-to-5 job in marketing.

Niki had always worked a ‘side hustle’ of some sort to earn extra money but in March 2022, she spent a week creating her 50 page eBook about how to live a simplified life that she initially sold for $35 (£28).

The book took off and was soon earning her around $5,000 (approx £4,037) per month in income.

That income allowed her to leave her job in July 2022 to spend more time at home with her two-year-old daughter and prepare for the arrival of her second child.

Following the months of August and September where Niki earned $18,000 (£14,500), she published her second and third products which helped her to earn $32,000 (£25,842) in October, and $47,000 (£37,956) in November.

On top of that, she has started mentoring people on how to make money online selling digital products and it’s believed that she is earning an extra $1,500 (£1,211) a month from that little venture.

At the time of the article, Niki had only four products online, the fourth being the mentoring program which only requires an extra two hours of her time per week.

She says that the eBook template took a day to create and the email course took a week to create.

She spends between one and two hours a week managing her social media, creating videos for TikTok and blog posts for her website.

Niki does not do any paid advertising to market her products.

This next bit is important; she says that her main business cost is the cost of her website which she says is $140 per month. That works out to be £113 a month.

Unless she has a huge amount of traffic going to her website, which is possible if she is getting her traffic from TikTok, I think that her hosting costs are actually quite expensive… it is possible to run a profitable website for as little as a couple hundred pounds for a year.

However…

Niki is generating thousands of pounds in sales each month; £113 in website fees per month isn’t a big problem… I’m sure you wouldn’t complain at paying £113 per month if it meant that you were earning well over £10,000 per month… would you?

As you know, I am a big believer that people should have a passive income of their own and that selling digital products such as eBooks is a great way to build one.

As you have seen with Niki’s story, she was able to leave her 9-to-5 job to spend more time with her family and now works only five hours a week.

Her three digital products and mentoring program are making her more money than what she was earning in full-time employment.

If income amounts start to drop or if she wants to earn more money per month, she can simply create and publish another digital product.

I cannot say that you will be as successful or enjoy such speedy success as Niki because everyone is different; there are too many variables to consider for each person.

It’s possible that you might be as successful as her, you may be more so, and you may even enjoy success faster than Niki…

But if you don’t… that is fine too.

Even if you spent a week creating an eBook that only earned you £500 a month for the next few years… that would be incredible too.

You most certainly wouldn’t think that the time spent creating an eBook was wasted if it earned you an extra £6,000 in passive income.

You could create one new eBook a month and have a portfolio of 12 online earning you hundreds of pounds each week… maybe each day.

That too would be fantastic.

Selling digital products online uses an automated system which means that you can earn money while you are out and about doing other things.

You do not need to do anything once the product is online other than direct people to it, and Niki does that all for free by sharing short videos to TikTok and publishing blog posts to her website.

Stop Wishing For Things To Happen… Make Them Happen!

Over the weekend while out doing a spot of shopping, well, following the wife around as she did a spot of shopping, I overheard two different conversations where one of the two people chatting in each conversation said that they wished they could work less.

I wasn’t listening to the conversations fully, I just happened to be passing these people as they said things which caught my attention. I carried on walking and didn’t stop to listen… I heard all that I needed to hear.

In one conversation between two women, one woman said “So you’ll be able to cut your hours down.”

To which the other woman replied with “Huh, I wish.”

In the other conversation, which I assume was between two people who knew each other but hadn’t seen each other in a while, when asked what he was doing, a guy said “I’m retired now, I decided to retire early.”

The woman asking the question responded with “I wish I was in a position to retire.”

I don’t know what was said after that in either conversation; all I know is that there were two people who ‘wished’ that they could ‘work less’.

What I also noticed is that both women used the word ‘wish’ in their replies…

It’s rather telling that they believe that to be in a position to either retire early or reduce the amount of working hours is ‘wishful thinking’ and not something that you actually plan and work towards.

The conversation between the two women, the woman who said “Huh, I wish” to reducing her hours, also said something along the lines of “It’s not what he wanted to do, but it pays the bills.”

I can only assume that she is referring to her partner and it sounded like he has a new job which is probably why her friend thought that she could probably ‘cut her hours down’.

The sad thing is that at least three people who were either talking or being talked about are forced to work jobs that they don’t want to work, exchanging their precious time for money they need.

Everyone needs money to live; there is a cost to living as you well know…

But there are people who live closer to the line where missing one wage could result in missing a couple of important payments that could soon spiral where they get into a financial mess and risk losing their home.

Only this weekend I read about how Hannah Spearitt from the popular 1990’s pop group S Club 7 was made homeless just before Christmas, forcing her to live in a friend’s office with her husband and two daughters.

In a six month period she had lived in four temporary homes.

Apparently the landlord needed money and decided to sell the property she was living in and because it sold fast, Hannah and her family were given just two days to find somewhere new to live.

This time, the problem was mainly caused by the landlord needing money and not the tenant, and made worse by the time of year.

But these things do happen and when you do not have a slush fund available to help you out when you need it, or a way to make money that doesn’t require you to sell your time working in a job you hate… you are in a very dangerous position.

Building up a slush fund takes time when you have very little spare money coming in.

And to generate spare money very often requires a pot of money to use as leverage.

I’ve spoken before about growing a pot of money by a small percentage each day over time, to do that, you first need a pot of money to start with.

A small pot means slow growth at first; a larger pot means you can grow the pot faster… but to start with a larger pot you often need to grow it from a smaller pot.

It’s a vicious circle.

I have been watching one guy grow a small pot of money by 1% each week day. He has taken £44.02 and grown it to £93.61 in 32 days.

He has more than doubled that money in around two months. It would have doubled faster had he done the weekends too.

It is a fantastic result… but earning £49.59 in two months is not going to help most people. It’s not going to pay your rent or mortgage.

If you can start with £50 or £100 today and stay disciplined and grow that money by 1% or 2% each day for a couple of years without touching it, you will eventually have a decent amount of money to play with which will really help out in the future.

But that doesn’t help today.

A lot of people are either impatient or in urgent need for the money that they simple cannot focus on growing a small pot by 1% or 2% over the foreseeable.

Yesterday I was told about how a single woman with no children living in a small end of terrace house had already spent £250 on gas for cooking and heating this month.

Telling her to put some money aside and grow it by a small percentage each day for several years would likely be met with disdain.

But the cycle of exchanging time for money, working to earn a wage, and surviving from payday to payday must be broken and it can only really be broken by either leveraging the money you have…

…or earning an extra amount of money which you then use to grow a substantial income.

I have created a blueprint which shows you how to build a six-figure income without spending a penny of your own money; you can read that blueprint here:
