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.

He is not expecting to make one product and then suddenly overnight become a millionaire.

It has happened (not exactly overnight though) and it could happen… but it’s rare.

What usually happens is that those who are successful and make a lot of money, they have a lot ‘out there’.

Book publishers do not get wealthy publishing just one book; they get wealthy publishing a whole portfolio of books.

If each book makes them on average £10,000 profit, they will strive to publish 100 books.

As I say, once you start publishing more, the stand-alone profit – let’s say it is £10,000 per book – will increase now that readers go looking at their back catalogue and buy other books.

The average £10,000 profit could now become £12,000 or more.

Products online can sell for many years. A perfect example of that is the film Silent Running starring Bruce Dern.

Andi our techy guy, remembers watching this film many many years ago and after recognising a line from the film he heard in a piece of music, he went online to see if there was any way he could watch it again.

He can rent the film from Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, or Google Play for between £2.49 and £3.49.

That film was made in 1972… a year before Andi was born.

It’s the same with classic sci-fi show, Buck Rogers in the Twentieth Century.

That too is available to buy via Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV at £1.89 per episode. That show was made way back in 1979.

V: The Mini Series, is another popular sci-fi show that is as old as the hills, it was made in 1983. It too can only been seen by purchasing it online.

I don’t know how many people buy these shows each year, but I imagine that a fair few people are reliving their childhoods and paying to watch them.

It’s safe to say that someone somewhere is making money from them.

The shows are already made and while they can be stored on a server somewhere as digital code, it makes it worthwhile for the studios to charge for them.

If earning a passive income is your goal, then I suggest you sit down and plan it in a similar way.

Aim to develop one new product each month or two, and then get it online and out there in front of people.

After one full year, you will have a whole portfolio of products people can buy from you.

Kind regards.

The reason people are more willing to buy fiction books is that for the most part, the majority of the population want to be entertained and are not necessarily looking to learn new skills.

When they enjoy being entertained and enjoy a specific book, they want to carry on with that enjoyment and so they happily choose to buy more.

There is very little resistance to buying a book they know that they are probably going to enjoy.

Humans want more of the ‘good stuff’.

They enjoy enjoyment.

Plus, the price point is a lot more affordable.

I don’t know how much he charges for his books, but people are more willing to gamble £5 or £10 on a fiction book. It’s not a lot to lose if they don’t enjoy it.

One of his most recent marketing courses was priced at $295 (£232.53 ATOW).

That is a big price difference to a book that may cost as little as £5. It’s also one of his cheaper products.

A member of our team has probably spent close to £2,000 buying several of his courses over the last five years.

He has learned a lot and it has helped advance his career – you can never put a price on education – but it is a hell of a lot compared to what an avid fiction reader spends.

Readers can buy ten fiction books and still not be anywhere close to the cost of one of his cheapest priced marketing products.

The big difference between fiction books and educational information products, apart from the price, is that there is a greater pool of people to sell to.

That is one of the reasons fiction is cheaper than educational books.

200 people may happily buy a £295 information product making £59,000 in sales

But bestselling books can be bought by tens of thousands… hundreds of thousands… and even millions of people.

Just ask JK Rowling and James Patterson.

To make £59,000 selling a £5 fiction book you would need 11,800 customers.

That’s 11,600 more customers needed than the £295 information product… but a fiction book could still be selling for many years making far more money in the long run, just like the books by Roald Dhal and RL Stine.

To be making seven figures a year, you will be making over £83,333 per month.

You need to be selling a lot of books to do that… but as we know, people love to read and they love to buy books.

Mike has books that are still earning him over £500 a month each which are eight or ten years old that he is no longer marketing.

At the time of writing them, he was making thousands from those books each month.

Yet all these years later, they are still earning him money.

Had he stopped writing five years ago, he would still be earning a passive income each month that paid more than what most working people earn working 160 hours.

He sells his books on as many platforms as possible including his own where he can make more profit.

Mike has around 70 or 80 books online, I believe.

Now, if that sounds like a lot of hard work, you can always create information eBooks that you can sell from your own website for prices between £47 and £197.

You don’t need to make or sell so many to make a decent monthly income.

We have several books that have fewer than 20 pages that sell for £97.

You only need to sell a few of those each month to be making an amount of money that is going to take the sting out of the current increases to living costs.

Ten sales of eBooks priced at £97 would give you a rather decent £997 a month, would you say no to that?

To be honest… just one sale at £97 would be a nice bonus for most people.

It is quite easy to create a short information product that you can charge £97 for.

You can have a complete fully automated passive income system up and running within 30 days…

Once you have one set up… make another… and another.

The more you have (you shouldn’t need 70 or 80 like Mike’s fiction books) the more money you can make.

If you have ten eBooks all priced at £97 and you sell just one copy of each book each month… that is a rather decent £997 in passive income each month.

The 30 Day To £30K Challenge

People do not always buy information products for the information alone, they buy them for many other reasons including for the expertise of the person providing the product.

AI might be able to tell you how to write an eBook, but I would much prefer to learn it from someone who is making a decent living publishing eBooks.

That way, I know that I am going to get the best workable information, and not something that has been compiled from a database.

The fact that the person is actually making money doing what they are teaching is a strong form of proof that it works.

Proof removes all doubt… and AI is not a person who is doing anything of what it delivers.

We will all marvel at the robot playing a guitar perfectly, it will be an incredible achievement of robotics and science (instigated by humans).

But would you want to spend £20 to go and sit in a bar and hear a robot play a guitar all night – putting the novelty of doing it once aside – when you can go and see personalities like Robbie Williams, Paloma Faith, and Ed Sheeran?

They interact with the crowds and share stories and jokes which makes the shows special. It’s not just about ‘hearing’ them sing. These people are not just singers, they are entertainers and performers.

AI will never be able to do that… at least, not for a very long time.

It is going to be an interesting few years ahead, that is for sure, but there could be a backlash against AI as we are currently seeing with actors going on strike, and authors and musicians threatening to sue AI companies if their work is in anyway recreated.

There are a growing number of singers and rappers who have stated that if their voice is replicated by AI and used in music that they didn’t personally work on, they will sue.

The comedian Sarah Silverman is one of several authors who has opened a first-class law suit against OpenAI and Meta for breach of copyright, accusing them of using her work as part of the ‘language training’ for the software.

Her book, ‘The Bedwetter’, was reported to have been copied by scraping illegal online ‘shadow libraries’ that contain the texts of thousands of books.

The backlash is happening because people genuinely fear that AI is replacing them and their work, and taking the things that make them unique, and recreating it without their permission.

Let’s not forget… people buy from people.

I don’t think that will ever stop.

People also love to learn, and they need to learn, and they love to read.

I don’t think that will ever stop either.

So, with all of the fears surrounding AI, it is quite possible that there is a boom time ahead for those who sell information products.

Is now the time to get started in what is already a very profitable industry, and one which seems is only going to become more profitable?

“I have £50,000 saved but I still can’t buy a house. My salary isn’t enough to cover the threshold to get a mortgage of £200,000.”

“I was told by previous generations ‘get a good degree and the rest will sort itself’ but it hasn’t.”

(Ahhhhhh, the old ‘go to university, get a degree, and then get a good job,’ fallacy.)

“Although I work full time I can’t earn enough. I don’t drink, I don’t go out to eat more than once a month, normally for a friend’s birthday.”

“I wouldn’t mind renting if it wasn’t so expensive for a property that often comes with a huge amount of issues.”

She said that many of the properties in the Welsh capital were low quality, and that she once lived in a property where the ceiling had collapsed in which meant she was “so cold I couldn’t sleep.”

She also said, “I think young people are disheartened. How can we save for the future when we can’t save enough to beat the price hump from renting to owning?”

It reminds me of a joke (if you can call it that) I see a lot of young people sharing on social media these days:

“Mortgage lenders won’t give mortgages to youngsters over concerns they can’t pay the £800 month repayments, although they have been paying £1,250 each month in rent for the last three years.”

With living costs still increasing, there is only so much cutting back and saving a person can do.

There appears to be no respite in sight, and with people struggling as much as they are at the moment, there is only one real option that I can see for most people, and that is to find a way to make more money.

People fear that making extra money can be hard and will require a lot of money upfront to get started with.

This is not true; you can get started with just £100 with an incredibly easy to use, and easy to understand system like ‘The Easy As 1-2-3 Betfair System’, by John Banks.

John makes a couple of simple checks to see which horses qualify and then he places his bets.

It’s as easy as that.

There is nothing complex to learn or any complicated working-out to be done, simply check that a specific criterion is met, and you are good to go.

With the ‘The Easy As 1-2-3 Betfair System’ you could be doubling your money every 3 to 4 weeks.

Easy As 1-2-3

These were different to the advertising and affiliate commission focused websites, these websites came with sales pages promoting an eBook/or digital product that was created specifically for that website.

When you consider how much it would cost you to have a sales letter written, a website built with a funnel, a digital product like an eBook created, an email account set up to grow an email list whenever a sale was made, and several other pages of content to help attract customers… you could be looking at paying at least £5,000…. possibly a lot more depending on the type of product and sales funnel you have made.

£2,500 is a great price really for something that is uniquely yours and ready to sell.

Not only do you have a website that is ready to process orders, it has a finished product that is ready to sell and you have full 100% resale rights to that product.

That product could generate sales for many years, and depending on what price it is being sold for, it could potentially earn back your investment quite quickly.

You also have a professional sales page connected to an email auto responder and several other pages of content.

Licensing an existing product with a sales page could cost up to £5,000 alone. Other people could buy the same license to sell the product too… and that is also without the website.

It is just licensing the product and sales page.

With these websites, from what I could see, the eBooks the buyers were getting were all different.

OK, a couple may have been on the same subject and possible rewrites, but they are still different products and unique to each website.

What I found interesting is that the people building these websites were knocking out quite a few each month.

These website builders had a system in place with checklists that helped them to make these websites fast.

I believe the £2,500 websites took approximately one week to make. The smaller ones could be made over two or three days.

If you were able to build and sell four of the £2,500 websites each month, you would be making a cool £10,000 a month.

That’s not a bad monthly income, is it?

It’s actually a win-win business for both parties.

The website builders are making good money selling the websites and the people buying them are getting a great deal in my opinion.

£2,500 is a great price for a website that has a unique product that you can sell and is all set up to process sales once payment accounts have been swapped.

A person can buy one of these sites, make the necessary admin changes and could be up and running in 24 hours (transferring the website to a different hosting company make take a little time) ready to send people to the sales pages.

It is quite possible that they could make sales on the first day of sending people to the sales page.

Obviously, the buyer will need to send people to the website to make sales. It is highly unlikely that a new website will make any sales if it is just put online and left to ‘do its thing’.

The buyer needs to send people to the website.

They need to do some work, but they don’t need to build the website, write the sales page, the blog posts, or create the product… all of the hard work is done for them.

All of that is definitely worth the price.

The question is… or rather the questions are…

Would you spend £2,500 buying a ready-made, ready-to-go business?

Or

Would you consider building websites to sell for a decent profit?

Either or… there is profit to be made doing both.

If you would like to know how to build your own websites to sell, including how to write a sales letter, and create a product fast so that you can sell the whole lot for £2,500+… go to:

The fact that it was the BBC who is funded by license payers, might be the reason for the quick cancellation too.

Had it been on ITV which is funded through advertising revenue, the show may have been allowed to run for another season or two to find its feet.

Who knows?

What I do know is that Derren created an incredibly popular show that ran for 10 series over 11 years, and then created a show that was cancelled after just one series.

The high was HIGH, and the low was incredibly low.

It just goes to show that you cannot always hit success every time.

In football, the very best strikers in the world only have a goal scoring rate of 0.50 per game.

These guys are paid millions and they can’t even score one goal in every game.

They fail just as much as they succeed.

Many of them fail more than they succeed… but when they score that goal in the last minute of the final… it counts more than any previous failings.

You don’t need a lot of successes to be incredibly successful.

You can fail ten or twenty times and have just one success, but that one success can change or affect your life for the better.

It is the same in anything you do.

You can write ten books, star in ten films, buy ten crypto currencies, nine may do ‘ok’ or even fail badly… but that one which does well, does spectacularly well.

Think of the one hit wonders in the world of music.

A singer can (they could, I don’t know so much about today with digital streaming) live quite comfortably off the back of just one successful song.

Most people would know that singer for that one song, yet they may have released several albums over many years after that successful one song.

The singer may have a decent sized fan base and that one song will have introduced them to their other music… but for most people, it’s that one song that they know.

The singer can have a career that is unknown to most of the world.

They are mostly known for that one song… but as I say, that one successful song helped introduce people to their other work, which, although never enjoyed the same success as that one song, it helped them to carry on enjoying their new career in the music world.

You only need to succeed once to change your future for the better.

Kind regards.

John Harrison.

PS… if you are looking for success, try publishing your own series of eBooks.

You only need one to do really well to prop up the others, but combined, the income from several eBooks will give you a comfortable and enjoyable life.

Let’s not forget, writing and publishing is far easier than a lot of other forms of work.

There will be people who will try and tell you that it’s not, but it really is.

Also, let’s not forget, there are people who are not professionally trained or have any previous experience with writing that make a tonne of money publishing written content.

If they can do it while ‘professional’ writers are trying to convince you that it is hard, that tells me that it’s not as hard as they try and make out, and that those ‘professionals’ are lying because they are ‘miffed’ that people who haven’t ‘paid their dues’ are doing better than them.

This is ‘gatekeeper’ territory and it is often nothing more than a case of jealous self-preservation by discouraging the competition.

The other thing to take into consideration here is that there are more than enough readers and subscribers to go around.

People like what they like and if there is more than one newsletter that appeal to them, money permitting, they will subscribe to as many as they can.

The point is this… if you fancy making money writing newsletters, give it a go. You will never know until you try it, and you really shouldn’t let others dissuade you from giving it a go at least.

If you would like to follow me on Substack, here is my publication: Streetwise John Streetwise Guild.

If writing is not for you and you would prefer to make money by having a punt on specific football games like our good friend Stephen Lewis who bags himself between £380 and £725 each week in TAX FREE profits using just a smartphone or a tablet.

PS… Stephen also uses a little known button in Betfair which locks in profit taking away any need to sit and monitor the game he is trading.

This is a safety switch which means that should the team that everyone expects to lose, does actually lose, Stephen still walks away with a profit.

Very few people know about or use this button. I didn’t know about it until I was told.

When he clicks the button and sets up his profit lock, he is free to completely forget about the game.

Thanks to that button, his trading becomes a SET and FORGET system.

When Musk took ownership of Twitter, he illegally fired thousands of workers. Who can blame them if many of them went over to Meta, although I don’t know if that is true as Meta has also recently laid off quite a large number of staff.

Another reason why a large number of Twitter users are turning their backs on the platform is that Elon ‘cancel culture hating, freedom of speech for everyone’ Musk is cancelling anything he does not like.

He has insisted that Twitter should treat certain words he doesn’t like or agree with as ‘offensive’ and ‘bullying’ even though he has refused to do the same with words and behaviour which promoted hate and violence.

It seems that Twitter’s demise is more of a result of Musk himself, and Threads might just be the platform that dishes out the final fatal blow.

We can only sit back and see what happens. It is going to be interesting to see how this all pans out.

I’m just fascinated how Musk has managed to wipe $29 billion off the value of Twitter in less than nine months.

It’s early days and I’m sure Musk isn’t worried too much.

The value can go back up and may possible exceed the $44 billion he paid.

While users are getting used to new changes and dealing with the ‘uncertainty’ of it all, the value will swing up and down like a pendulum for a while.

I don’t know about you, but it seems that being a tech-billionaire is a lot of drama. I much prefer to make money without all of the added hassle of brawling in a cage with other tech-billionaires, and taking each other’s companies to court.

I imagine you are pretty much the same.

As much as you might like to have Musk’s and Zuckerberg’s wealth, I’m sure you would settle for a nice extra daily income of between £110 and £350.

For most people, between £110 and £350 is more than enough to cover the costs of the day, including entertainment, and that is what David Houghton makes most weekdays for just ten minutes work.

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

This system makes him between £110 and £350 most weekdays… which is the equivalent to a day’s wage for most people.

Advertising… that’s how.

Every carton or can of FreeWater has advertising on it which is paid for by businesses and companies wanting to get their product, service and company details into the hands of ordinary people.

It seems that this is the ultimate win-win scenario.

In fact it is a win-win-win-win-win situation.

Everyone wins with this.

1. People get free drinking water.
2. Advertisers get their products, services, and company details into the hands of people.
3. Charities raise money to help more people.
4. People in remote villages are supplied with clean drinking water thanks to the charity work.
5. The environment wins as there are less single-use plastic bottles made and thrown away.

The only downside to this that I can think of is whether the advertisers are getting a good return on their investment.

If they aren’t, then companies will stop paying to advertise on the water cartons and FreeWater will need to constantly find new advertisers.

The idea of getting your product, services, and company details into the hands of a lot of people is a nice one, but in reality, the audience could be the wrong one and not an overly responsive one.

Companies could simply be paying to see their adverts being thrown into the bin.

It is the paying advertisers that fund this project, and if they are not getting a notable profit back from their ad-spend; they will cease to run the advertising.

Without the advertising revenue, FreeWater cannot distribute water for free.

I think it is a wonderful idea, but with so many social media platforms giving people and companies the opportunity to share videos, pictures, and posts – which effectively are free advertising campaigns, companies need to really see a decent return for their money to even consider this kind of shotgun and scatter advertising.

The internet and social media platforms are responsible for ‘shaking up’ the advertising industry and have helped to halve the advertising revenue that was enjoyed by offline newspapers just two decades ago.

Companies and businesses are spending less on offline advertising choosing to spend more on online forms of advertising, with many focusing on creating content that goes viral online costing them next-to-nothing.

That is the incredible opportunity that the internet and social-media platforms have given us.

Today we can share videos, pictures, and posts with people for free.

We have the opportunity to get our products, services, and details out in front of a lot of people for no cost at all.

Yes, it can take some work and you need to know what to do to get the best results, but it is possible to get your content out in front of millions of people at no cost to you.

If the product you are selling is high priced, you can make a lot of money by simply selling a few each month.
