When I got stuck recently, trying to remove the bracelet on a watch, I went on to YouTube and quickly found several videos demonstrating how to do it. Some were awful, but the best was pretty good and had attracted several thousand views. Now this was a fairly obscure thing to be looking for, and yet several thousand people had done the same thing – and all those people would have something in common – they owned the same watch.
That’s the nature of online instructional videos – they attract audiences who share a problem, possessions or an enthusiasm. In other words, they’re a ready made audience for what you or someone else has to sell.
If you have a skill or expertise (and as I’ve just shown that can be as mundane as knowing how to remove a bracelet from a watch) you could build an audience and make money providing online instruction. You don’t need any expensive equipment – the most basic of video cameras is more than capable of doing the job.
This is one of those opportunities you can have a go at in your spare time, and it will cost you nothing to do. Why not film your own ‘how to’ video, and see how many people go to see it? If nothing else, it will provide valuable market research.
Quote Of The Day
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”
Mark Twain

Make-A-Movie Parties
If you have young children, you’ll know that they’re always on the look-out for the next cool party venue or theme. This one that we found in the United States, seems to fit the bill perfectly, and we haven’t seen anything like it here in the UK.
Make-A-Movie Birthday Parties is a self-explanatory concept. The company arrive at the party with a pre-written script, costumes and camera equipment. Roles are allocated, the film is shot and then edited over the next week or so when it is delivered to the person holding the party. Revenue comes from both the booking fee and sales of the movie to party guests.
This seems like something you could copy anywhere. I’d imagine it would be incredibly popular. Equipment is cheap these days and the editing technology is at the hands of anyone with a PC. If you fancy yourself as the next Speilberg, but the lack the budget, this could be something for you.

PUBLISHERS NOTICE
Dear Streetwise Customer,
For most of us, the Coronavirus outbreak has been unmitigated bad news. Nothing good has come of it…
But Michael Saiger isn’t one of those people.
Acting as a go-between, the Florida based jewellery designer (yes you did read that right!) supplied protective garments for NHS staff in the coronavirus pandemic…
And was paid $28m (£21m) in UK taxpayer cash!
Earlier this year, as the coronavirus pandemic was spreading rapidly around the world, Saiger set up a business to supply PPE to governments…from scratch.
He didn’t make PPE, he didn’t know anything about PPE, he didn’t even have any contacts in government. And yet just a few months later, he was made for life.
Putting together highly lucrative deals – whilst supplying or purchasing absolutely nothing – is what our underground instruction manual 5% Of A Million is all about.
You can find full details HERE
Not many people are going to make £21 Million in 97 days but there are THOUSANDS out there, quietly making £50,000…£80,000…£100,000 a time by simply putting buyers and sellers together.
As a stay-at-home, desk-based business, this takes a lot of beating.
Take a look NOW. The next jackpot could be yours.
Very Best Wishes,
John Harrison
