On the page attached to the link below, there is a video showing how to create a low-content book in under 3 minutes. The smart ones amongst you will want to put a good-looking cover on it, which will take you about 5 minutes more to create one in Canva.
We’re in the 3D World for this little exercise. There are three things that I figured out that I must pay the bills when they come due. When you’re stony broke, as I have been, and the income is way too little to cover everything you want, you have to be careful
There are three things that I figured out that I must pay the bills when they come due.
When you’re stony broke, as I have been, and the income is way too little to cover everything you want, you have to be careful about who you pay and who you let slip.
These three things will severely hamper your lifestyle if you stuff them up.
The energy bill.
The accommodation bill.
The food bill.
I know that some will think that communications and transport are essential as well, but usually not.
Two of those things you can keep reasonably under control, but the accomodation bill is set by outside influences.
Everything outside those bills is discretionary expenses.
Sure, you need clothing, but you probably don’t need anything today and you don’t need new clothes.
Yes, you might need a phone, but it doesn’t have to be the latest and greatest one.
If you are in this situation today, I can tell you that there is a way out.
There are multiple ways out, and many of them have been given to you in my previousemails.
Most of those ways have been free or very low-cost ways to begin changing your finances so you can have whatever phone you like, you can buy whatever clothing you like, and you can eat out when you like.
Those things take surprisingly little additional money.
Think about it, would an extra $200 a month make a difference?

P.S. Here are 92 ways to make some additional money.
Your success is only limited… I’m going to give you my answer, right or wrong, later in this email. Firstly, though, you should stop and think about your response to this. For me, this question became integral to how I conduct myself and what I do on a daily basis.
I want to start a new, paid newsletter. It won’t be expensive, somewhere between $7 & $20 monthly initially. Probably only run for 12 months, or less. I have three possible subjects. The Lazy Man’s Way to Riches. Raise Yourself from Failure to Success.

The Lazy Man’s Way to Riches.
Raise Yourself from Failure to Success.
How to Sell Informational Products.
The newsletter content will be different even though they seem, at fist glance, to be similar.
The first will be about automation, shortcuts and low-cost ways to make things happen to create an income.
The second will be about the mental and skill steps you’d need to take to make a difference in your life.
The third one will be about how to put them together, where to get ideas from, how to drive traffic to your products, and how to build up your audience.
There will be overlaps of course, but they will be different.
Yet another ‘click-bait’ subject line, but is it? No, it’s not. There is a real reason for that subject line and I will explain it to you now. Both you and the acorn have the potential to grow into something magnificent. You can hear the but, can’t you.
There is a real reason for that subject line and I will explain it to you now.
Both you and the acorn have the potential to grow into something magnificent.
You can hear the but, can’t you.
It’s a big but too.
The acorn needs to be in the right environment to grow into an oak tree.
It needs its own patch of light, water, nutrients in the soil, etc.
When it has all of the essential things in place, it grows, over the years, into a magnificent oak.
What about you?
You also need to be in the right environment before you can grow into the magnificent person you can be, but those environmental factors are not always available.
There is one glaring difference.
The acorn never doubts its ability to become an oak; it never second-guesses what it’ll become.
The other oak trees and acorns never tell it that it can never become an oak because it’s too small, or doesn’t have the guts, etc.
That’s the skill you need to develop to become that magnificent person.
You must ignore the naysayers; after all, they’ve never grown into anything useful, so how would they know that you can’t?
Only listen to people who are either already on the path to magnificence or are already there.
No one else has the right to advise you on how to get there.
No one has the right to stomp on your growth and potential.
Not my plan of course. I knew we were going out to lunch with family. There was at least an hour of driving for the luncheon date. That’s total driving time, not one way. Lunch went longer than expected, and then we had some unexpected babysitting to do, which went longer than I thought it might.
If you’re financial enough you can use tools such as Ahrefs to spy on what your competition are doing. You can grab all their keywords and effectively clone their business. But, if you’re on a budget that doesn’t include a $99 monthly subscription, it often seems that
Getting potential customers is the biggest requirement of any marketer. It doesn’t matter which industry you’re in or even if you are online or off. If you don’t have potential customers to show your products or services to, you cannot make sales and you will
Unfortunately, most marketers try to use them to generate sales. That rarely works. Sure, if you have millions of followers or members in your group, you can make sales and maybe even a living from them, but they work best for driving traffic to other pages.
Unfortunately, most marketers try to use them to generate sales.
That rarely works.
Sure, if you have millions of followers or members in your group, you can make sales and maybe even a living from them, but they work best for driving traffic to other pages.
The reason for this is that none of the sites want you to leave.
So they suppress your ability to drive traffic to a sales page.
But, they will allow you to drive traffic to videos, blog posts, information pages, etc.
This means that you can build bridge pages for whatever you’re promoting and post a link to that in your timeline or group.
There’s a little tweak that you can tell your followers to do that makes sure most of them get notified of a new post.
In every group you aren’t the admin for, on the right-hand side, there’s a little button with three periods.
Clicking that will bring up a menu.
One item there is “Manage Notifications“.
When you open that you’ll see what options there are.
Tell your friends and followers.
Which social media platforms work best for driving traffic?
In my experience, there are three.
Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest.
I could never get much action from X (previously known as Twitter), or YouTube.
I suspect that I haven’t posted enough videos to YT yet so that might change in the future.
Volume and consistency seem to be significant markers to get the boosting love from any of these sites.
The same applies to TikTok from what I’ve read, but I haven’t got an account there… yet.
The posts that seem to get the best traction currently are short videos, and this is the easiest place to create short videos.
