There are always new opportunities to make money.
I was reminded of this recently when I was shown a Facebook group which had people around the world sharing pictures of the view from their windows.
The group was started during the Covid pandemic where countries across the world were put into lockdown as an attempt to control the virus.
While people were isolated and unable to meet friends, the world went online and as a way to relieve the boredom and connect with others around the world struggling with being locked in their homes, the group was created.
Since the Facebook group was created, it has swelled to over 3.8 million members.
There is a second copy-cat group which has at least half a million members too.
The original group has published two books since it was created.
I am assuming that those books contain a collection of the best and most interesting pictures that were posted in the group by members.
I imagine that the picture owners were contacted through the group and asked permission to use the pictures.
Humans are ego driven and love the idea that people like what they do and see etc and so a lot of people will love the idea of having their photos and their lives immortalised in a book and being seen by others.
What I like about this idea is that these two books were created by simply using other people’s content. Also, the people behind the group now have a huge audience of people who may buy the book.

I don’t know how many copies of each book they have sold, but they now have two products that they can sell for many years and while people constantly share their pictures – which they do each day – they have the opportunity to create more books.
What’s even better is that the group would have cost nothing to grow with it being on Facebook and because it is something that a lot of people find interesting (people are curious and voyeuristic in nature), it has grown fast.
Another book I had recently seen for sale on Facebook is a book documenting the early years of graffiti here in the UK.
It’s the same story here, a Facebook group dedicated to the early days of UK graffiti was created which had a lot of the old graffiti artists posing their photos and those photos were then compiled into a book.
That book has been sold online and promoted via Facebook and I see that a lot of the people who offered up photos to be included in the book have bought their own copy.
They have already sold out of the first batch of books and are planning on having more printed.
This is the power of creating products around niches and hobbies that are enjoyed by a lot of people.
People love to buy and own products that document the hobbies they love.
Fishermen have shelves full of books and DVDs about fishing.
Golfers have shelves full of books and DVDs about golfing.
Food lovers have shelves full of books about food and cooking.
Travellers have shelves full of books about travelling and places.
Graffiti artists have shelves full of books and magazines about graffiti and street art.
Etc… etc.
I am not saying that you need to publish books around specific hobbies and niches, this may not be right for you; I just wanted you to see that there are always new opportunities to make money.
These books took other people’s content and documented something which a large number of people enjoy. And it happened thanks to using a free-to-use social media platform.
Anyone can do this.
Publishing photos and or information is always going to be a great way to make money because we humans love to learn more and own products that tell us more about specific subjects.
We just do.
It is nothing new, it is as old as the hills… and it’s a habit that isn’t going to change anytime soon.
The two examples I shared with you were real physical books but they don’t have to be.
We live in the digital age and people love to own and read eBooks and newsletters about specific topics just as much as they do real books.
EBooks, newsletters and membership websites can be sold from a fully automated passive income system that can take less than 30 days to have up and running.
Once it is online and people can buy it… it’s time to create another.
