I was talking to one of my team today, Andi, and we were discussing ways to make a few thousand pounds relatively fast.

The conversation was born from the Ch5 drama, The Catch, he was watching where a fisherman, played by Jason Watkins, was the target of a campaign of sabotage.

One day he found his fishing nets cut, then a few days later, someone had put salt water into the boats motor crippling the boat. A few days after that, he was hit by a fine for fishing ‘over’ his allowed quota.

The poor guy was simply trying to make a living in a world where prices were rising and he was only allowed to land a specific number of fish.

The sabotage to his nets and engine and the fine were going to cripple him. He was forced to find the money from somewhere and so he forged his mother-in-laws signature for a loan using her house (which he lived in) as security.

I’ve yet to find out what happens to the fisherman, I don’t think Andi has seen the whole drama yet, but what stuck with me was how rapidly things can go downhill if you don’t have enough spare money – or a way to make money fast – when you need it most.

I have talked about it a few times before where I have offered up several suggestions and ideas on how to grow a slush fund that can protect you when things suddenly go against you.

There is one way to make fast money which I haven’t yet talked about. This is for those people who create and sell their own digital products online.

In a previous article I have talked about offering your services for a premium price or selling a bundle of your information products to the people on your email list as a way to make a decent lump sum of quick cash… but there is something else you can do… sell licenses to your products.
