If I said that I bet that you have spent money online at least once in your life, would I be right?
I’d be surprised if anyone reading my articles has never bought anything online.
It has become the norm today to buy products online via websites or phone apps. It’s so easy, some people do it daily.
Last night while waiting for his tea, one of our team, Andi, spent £25 buying digital music from a specific website that he downloaded right to his phone in a matter of seconds.
The music was a collection of electronic music that was produced in the 1990s by a couple of dance music producers.
What I want you to think about for a minute is that somewhere in the world, two musicians checked their phones when they heard the ‘ping’ notifying them that they had made money… from the sale of music they had created over 28 years ago.
I believe at least one track was from 1991 which puts that at 32 years ago.
Back in the 90s, music had to be put on vinyl records, CDs and tapes then distributed around the world to shops. Anyone who bought music from overseas had to wait days, possible weeks for it to arrive in the post.
If it was a record that came through the post, the buyer opened the package fearing that it might have been broken in transit.
Today, it is a simple download straight to your phone sitting in the palm of your hand, taking no more than a couple of seconds.
Vinyl records are making a comeback and there are a lot of people who collect them and would prefer to listen to music on them.
Some people claim the music sounds better on vinyl; it has warmth to it that digital music doesn’t have… and that may be true, but that is not a debate I want to get into right now.
What I want to talk about is the fact that two people made money selling digital products that were originally created 28+ years ago.
As I said earlier, people spend money online all the time, yet very few stop and realise how easy it really is.
Back in the 1990s when those musicians were making the music Andi bought last night, to buy anything you had to either go to the shop, send an order with a cheque through the post or call people on the phone to buy items.
It required you having to get up and generally do something.
Today it can all be done at the click of a button or two while sitting on the sofa… or bus… or park bench… or in the pub.
Do you know what else can happen while you are sitting on the sofa, bus, park bench, or in the pub?

You could be sitting in the park taking in the scenery when you hear a ‘ping’ notifying you that you have made money.
You could be sat on your sofa watching Coronation Street – I don’t know why you would in all honesty – when you hear a ‘ping’ notifying you of another sale.
Today, you could be making money selling digital products online that, like those musicians, can be sold for many years.
Why wouldn’t you want to capitalise on something that allows you to earn a passive income while you are out and about doing other things?
I don’t know much about these musicians, I can’t say how many tracks they sell on a daily or weekly basis, but if they have a decent sized back catalogue and they let people know about them – Andi didn’t realise they had released digital versions of their tracks until he saw people talking about them on Facebook – it’s possible that they are making several sales a week.
With more and more people in their 40s and 50s finding out that these tracks are now available to buy online as digital downloads, these two musicians could possibly be making sales daily, which is not bad for work they did around 30 years ago.
With their old music selling, they have an audience who might be interested in new music which they are creating and putting online.
Andi has bought new music from several of the musicians he liked back in the 90s.
Instead of having to press records and sign to labels, musicians and producers can upload their tracks to specific platforms like Bandcamp or their own websites and sell them directly to people all around the world with an instant delivery.
What is there not to like about that?
I’ve talked about music as the example, but with music the most you can charge is £1.50 per track… with eBooks you can charge a lot more.
Depending on what the subject matter is, information focused eBooks can be sold for up to £97… especially if you offer a lot of bonuses with it which can also be simple digital products like checklists and templates.
Who wouldn’t want to be sat enjoying their day receiving notifications informing them that they have made several sales of eBooks putting money into their account… without them having to do anything?

PS… Profitable eBooks can be as little as 20 pages long and it can take a day to create an eBook that short.
There is no limit to how many eBooks you can create and sell. After one full year you could have a huge portfolio of eBooks selling online.
