I’ve just found out that the Sun on Sunday newspaper costs £1.40.
I need to figure out which is cheaper, buying the Sun on Sunday or a six-pack of loo roll.
They are pretty much made to do the same job.
The Sun is £0.80 per edition, Monday to Saturday.
The Daily Mail is £0.90 per edition during the week with its Sunday edition costing £2.
With there being at least 24 weekdays (including Saturdays) in a month and 4 Sundays, that would give you a monthly cost of:
The Sun: £24.80
The Mail: £29.60
That’s a lot to be paying for a combination of factually incorrect propaganda and paid advertising.
There, I said it!
Newspapers are nothing more than media businesses that charge people to be shown pre-paid advertising.
They do it by sharing stories.
Think of the word NEWS…it means NEW Story… basically they are sharing new stories.
Humans need stories, it is how we develop, learn, and evolved as a species.
People love it. This is why reading fiction and watching films and television dramas is such a big thing.
Newspapers may not be allowed to ‘straight up lie’ to people… but there is no moral or ethical obligation for them to share what is right in a way that is best for society… a trusted source alleges!
Anyone who trusts what is written in newspapers does not understand that they are merely businesses trying to make money selling advertising.
Anyway… I am beginning to digress.

The point I want to make is that there are people who are willing to pay up to £30 a month to read tosh and be shown details for Wren’s Kitchen’s Big Summer Sale… if they have one that is.
The fact that there are people who are willing to pay for articles and stories is good.
This shows that you yourself can also make money selling information, articles, and stories around specific topics.
The other bonus is that today, there are people who are willing to ‘pay extra’ to receive that content ‘without’ advertising getting in the way.
ITV X is a good example of that.
The ITV X catch-up platform allows people to watch television shows on demand, for free.
As ITV originally got its funding for its terrestrial television channel by showing adverts before, during and after programmes and shows, they also show adverts when users stream them on their platform
However…
They now offer people the opportunity to ‘pay’ a monthly subscription fee so that they can watch all their favourite programmes and shows without being bombarded with adverts.
People pay to have the adverts removed!
So… this tells us that people will happily pay to read ‘stuff’, and it also tells us that people will happily pay to remove adverts from that ‘stuff’.
This basically means, you can supply people with information, news, and stories, and they will be happy to pay for it… especially if it is free from excessive advertising.
This means that there is a fantastic opportunity for people to make money making and sharing content by charging a subscription fee to access it.
This opportunity is incredible when you actually stop and think about it.
In the past, people could only buy newspapers that were available to them. You had local and national newspapers, but you could rarely get anything from outside of that area.
Now, you can have people subscribing to your content from anywhere in the world.
And what’s great is that you don’t necessarily need to create a lot of content.
The money is made by providing a large number of paying subscribers a smallish amount of content each month.
If you were to take out all of the paid advertising from a newspaper like The Sun, and anything else that isn’t actually a story, you’d probably be left with a handful of articles spread across five pages.
The amount of actual content required is quite low.
Yes, obviously you need to give paying subscribers more than what they are paying for. You need to keep them happy.
But you don’t need to give them hours worth of content, not if they are only paying £5 or £10 a month.
That may not sound like a lot, but when you have 1,000 people paying you between £5 and £10 for a few articles each month, it adds up to £5,000 or £10,000 per month… which is a rather decent income… don’t you think?

PS… Once fully established, you could be earning thousands of pounds each month from work which could take less than a day… depending on what you are providing.
A subscription based business is all about the numbers.
Give a large group of people something they want and need at a price they are happy to pay, and you can be paid multiple times for the one piece of work each and every month.
