I won’t lie, all morning I’ve been struggling to think about what to write for today’s article. Sometimes the old grey matter just doesn’t want to work. Every time I tried to think of something, my mind went blank.
I asked myself the five questions that I ask myself during times like this which help me think of the things I have seen, read or heard during the week which could make good article content.
Even after asking those questions, I couldn’t think of anything that I could share.
So I decided to have a coffee and watch Prime Minister’s Questions on BBC’s Parliament channel to see if that would help.
Usually I end up chuckling to myself or swearing at the answers that are given to questions.
They really are not answers are they?
It’s rare that a prime minister these days actually answers a question with a straight and relevant answer.
You don’t need to be a copywriter or professional wordsmith to understand that the answers are a vague mix of baseless sound bites and substance-free statements.
It’s a pantomime really. All quite comical.
It reminds me of the wrestling you see on television which ‘appears’ to be two big men fighting, but is in reality, two entertainers performing for a crowd working towards a pre-determined outcome.
Anyway, I was about to turn off the PMQ’s when Sir Ed Davey, leader of the Liberal Democrats, stood up to ask the prime minister a question.
Sir Ed Davey told the house that he had received a letter from a constituent named Vanessa who had expressed her fear of losing her house because her mortgage repayments had increased by £500 per month.
That increase is on top of all of the other price increases that have been happening recently.
With food and energy prices rocketing up alongside mortgage and rent prices going up, people are genuinely struggling to survive.
I’ve said it time and time again, when prices go up by hundreds of pounds each month, saving pennies is not going to help.
You can wash your clothes in cold water and sit in the cold quiet all day, but it won’t help you to find the money needed.
I’m not saying that cutting back won’t help, it will, but only a little.
If your mortgage repayments increased by £500 per month and by cutting back and living more frugally and efficiently managed to save you £200 a month… you’d still need a further £300.
The only way to really survive a cost-of-living crisis is to make more money.
That’s the truth.

You have very little control over what other people or companies charge you for their products and services. If they put their prices up, you have to generally accept it.
But you do control how much money you make or earn.
Even if you work a typical 9 to 5 and get paid a specified wage, you still have the opportunity to make more money.
I was going to say ‘you still have the opportunity to make more money in your spare time’ but that is only half correct, you can make money while working your 9 to 5.
Only this morning I saw a post on Facebook by a copywriter in the US named Nathan who shared a screenshot of the Amazon payments he had received on Sunday for several books he had published under two different pen names.
That screenshot showed six sales notifications.
It was only showing part of his screen so I cannot say for definite how many sales he had made in total that day.
What I can say is that he is making sales of eBooks and digital products at any time of the day.
While he is:
- Working.
- Eating.
- Sleeping.
- Relaxing.
- Playing.
… He is earning money.
Amazon commissions on eBooks sales are actually quite small, but even if Nathan was paid £1 per sale, he had earned at least £6 on that Sunday.
Imagine that he was selling 6 copies of his books every day. Over a 30 day month, he would have earned £180.
That’s not bad considering the money is coming in passively.
Who wouldn’t want to earn £180 on autopilot?
As well as selling eBooks on Amazon, they can also be sold via your own platform giving you full 100% of the money earned.
Your own platform can cost less than £100 for two years.
That’s £100 to host your own platform which can sell digital products automatically for you at any time of the day or night.
That’s ridiculously good value for money.
If the eBooks and digital products you were selling on your platform were priced between £9.99 and £97, not only would you get to keep all of the money (minus any payment processing fees) when any sales were made, you’d make your £100 investment back in no time at all.
One of the most important things that I think most people fail to realise about selling digital products online is that you have access to potentially billions of people.
I’m not saying that billions of people will want to visit your website or buy your products, but they could if they wished too.
Your website would be accessible to people all around the world.
Those people can buy and download your eBooks without you having to do anything other than enjoy the payment notification when a sale is made.
Compare that to a shop premises in your area.
Depending on the size of the property the rent and rates alone would cost more than £100 a week, and that’s without factoring in the cost of electricity and other overheads… plus you will only be able to sell products to people in the local vicinity.
Having an online store where you can sell digital products is not only incredibly cheap to run, it can be hugely profitable.
It can take less than 30 days to have your first digital product created and added online to your own fully automated passive income platform.

PS… EBooks and digital products do not need to be big and chunky. We often sell products which most people would consider ‘thin’, what matters is the content that is in them.
Offer to help or entertain people and they will happily buy from you.
