- 0:00Making money has never been so simple. If you can't look after
- 0:03a little baby dog for a night, you are not going to make money ever. That's
- 0:06what's stopping most people from actually making money. Better go and flip and do the work
- 0:10for goodness sake. Fast money isn't about luck, it's about velocity, it's
- 0:13about action taking. The only reason it feels illegal is because you're doing it
- 0:16a different way. It's just getting your mindset used to it. Sometimes the fastest
- 0:19way to make money is where you're already standing. I'm Lloyd James Ross, seven-figure
- 0:23investor and entrepreneur, and I've helped thousands of business owners and
- 0:26professionals turn financial stress into success. If
- 0:30you're stuck in old money habits, overwhelmed by investing, or unsure where
- 0:33to start, this is for you. I'll give you the mindset and
- 0:36strategies to take control, grow your wealth, and achieve financial
- 0:40freedom. It's time to make your money work for you. 7 ways
- 0:44to make money so fast it feels illegal. If you're broke
- 0:47behind or just need some fast money, this episode is
- 0:51for you. It feels like a cheat code. I'm going to take you through these 7 ways to
- 0:55make money fairly fast. Not all are scalable, but
- 0:58certainly they all work. How I've been able to do them all myself is how I'm
- 1:01teaching them now, so I will share them with you. You
- 1:05need to make some money. This is really designed for you this episode, right? It'll
- 1:09feel like you're kind of doing it illegal because you'll be like, oh my god, I just made money out of thin air, right?
- 1:12But you're not. It's not illegal. It's just you're actually following the right
- 1:15steps. And you're following the right ingredients to make money. And you're
- 1:19helping someone solve a problem. and they're paying you for it and that's all money making is
- 1:23at the end of the day. So I want to step you through these seven ways. I'll give you the examples
- 1:27and I'll give you examples of how I've done it and that will hopefully give
- 1:30you some inspiration and some steps to follow to go off and
- 1:33make some money this weekend instead of jet skiing. Go
- 1:37make money, right? Jet skiing takes a lot of money. I want
- 1:40you to make money. I often say that because on the weekends when
- 1:43I'm working, everyone's Jetscan and I did that when I was younger
- 1:47so I kind of get out of my system but you've got to spend the time to
- 1:50do these things. So these steps, they're not going to be like do
- 1:54this and conjure money out of thin air. Action takers are
- 1:57money makers, meaning you've got to take the action. That's the input. And
- 2:00then as a result of that, you're going to get money in your bank account. So
- 2:04buckle up as I take you through the seven ways to make money so fast
- 2:08it feels illegal. The first way to make money so fast
- 2:11it feels illegal is freelance flips. This is where you're freelancing design
- 2:15work, copywriting, design, video edits, whatever it might be, and
- 2:18selling them. And recently, actually had a student of mine do this.
- 2:22He had a photography business and now he's actually starting to realize that reels
- 2:26are more important. than even photography, still photography. So
- 2:30what you can actually do is, you can actually go to a wedding, you
- 2:33can go to an event, you can go to anyone in your network who's
- 2:37hosting something, and you can actually offer to do reels for
- 2:40them, curated reels that you edit, that look sexy, and
- 2:44you can sell them for, you can sell each reel for $50. You
- 2:47could do four reels for $200, as an example. You
- 2:50might even be able to sell them for $100 each if it's a wedding, because they're wedding reels.
- 2:55And that may be something you can do. So this is an example of quick freelance flips.
- 2:59And I'm sure that someone in your network has got an event coming
- 3:03up and the reality is no one really looks at photos again
- 3:07or their videography again generally. but they do
- 3:10look at reels and they do want to share reels to their feed. My wife
- 3:13did this for my sister recently at her wedding. Obviously my sister had
- 3:17a wedding photographer there but my wife, being able to build the
- 3:20skill set which anyone can learn from YouTube by the way of how to craft and
- 3:23edit a reel on Instagram, she created four
- 3:27reels for my sister. If it wasn't my sister, she
- 3:30could have easily charged her $500 to $1,000 for
- 3:33those reels. She conjured it out of thin air from the wedding.
- 3:37She just had the footage there. She took it. She went home. She edited
- 3:40it and bang, the edits are ready to sell. Now, how do you
- 3:44sell them? You sell them to the person you did them for, but you can pretty much craft an
- 3:47offer fairly smartly. Look at people in your area. and
- 3:51your network, see what events they're running and say, look, if I was to do
- 3:54some cool reels for you to promote your event or after or
- 3:57to use again, would that be a value to you? That's all
- 4:00you've got to say to them. If they say yes, say great, I can do four reels for
- 4:04$200. Does that sound fair enough? Yes, sounds fair enough. Great. And
- 4:07then you go do it. Okay? Nice and simple, right?
- 4:11There's an example. You can do this for copywriting. You can do it, you
- 4:14know, I mean, I get hit up every single day. Please don't hit me up on Instagram
- 4:18saying, Lloyd, do you need a copywriter? I get like 4,000 a
- 4:21day. And I just roll, I just send
- 4:24back to them, hey, you know, have you bought my book yet? I
- 4:27kind of repitch him because I just get so many. But look, you
- 4:31can get copywriting clients. I mean, how ridiculously easy is copywriting now? You
- 4:35have ChatGPT to help you write the copy. It does it for you. It's
- 4:38ridiculous. So if you want to be able to get more clients for
- 4:42copywriting, proofreading, creative work, design work
- 4:45you can do on Canva that AI does for you these days.
- 4:49No one realizes it yet. It's pretty crazy. You can go
- 4:52into Fiverr. Someone yesterday I was talking to called it Fiverr but
- 4:55Fiverr, F-I-V-E-R-R.com, Upwork.com
- 5:00or even DM your local business pages, DM friends, DM people. You
- 5:03can DM them. You can slide into the DMs like everyone does for me on a flippant
- 5:06daily basis, right? People are desperate for someone to
- 5:10do the work for them, copywriting, proofing, whatever it is. If you put yourself on
- 5:13those platforms, freelancer.com, guru.com,
- 5:18put yourself a profile up there and go for gigs. When you get
- 5:21one, deliver the work and get paid. It's not rocket science. It's
- 5:25pretty simple stuff. Just model the best profiles you
- 5:29can find and just go for one gig. Underprice everyone on the platform
- 5:32until you win a gig and then bang, you've made money so fast it feels illegal. It's
- 5:35just boom. The hardest part is getting your mindset around the fact you're
- 5:38going to make money. Awesome. Great. What
- 5:42would be the steps? Pretty simple. Chat GPT prompt. How
- 5:45do I create this Canva? How do I create that design? How do I proofread this? Please proofread
- 5:49this. Do it all. Make sure you got the skill set to do it and
- 5:52then go in and promote and advertise your offer and
- 5:56you'll get clients, okay? The second way
- 5:59that to make money so fast it feels illegal is digital download
- 6:03hustle. So eBooks, templates, guides. I
- 6:07had a student of mine actually this week. He said, Lloyd, you wouldn't believe
- 6:10it. I said, what? His name's Chris. I said, what Chris? He goes, I sold my
- 6:14first prompt. I'm like, what? He goes, yeah, I sold my
- 6:17first chat GPT prompt. He sold a prompt. It's
- 6:21pretty crazy, right? And the other day, actually, too, I sold
- 6:25an AI course. Got a brand new book coming out, Become Time
- 6:29Rich. And the other day, I did an email. And
- 6:33I said, hey, whoever pre-orders the book, a publisher asked me to get
- 6:36some pre-orders. So I said, all right, I'll get some pre-orders. Whoever pre-orders the book, I'm going to give you
- 6:39a free AI course, which is worth $1,000, which
- 6:42it is. It'll save you 10 hours a week. This is worth $1,000. And
- 6:46so I created the course. I just sat in my room, created the course, did it,
- 6:50put a title, put on Kajabi and then bang, got it out there. And
- 6:54as I was going through it, I actually created in the course a template. While
- 6:58I was recording the course, I actually accidentally created my own
- 7:01template just doing an example like, please give me the top best prompt
- 7:05for chat GPT beginners. created a PDF for me,
- 7:08I put it back in the course, I'm like hey by the way in the course now you get this because I just created it.
- 7:12So I created it out of thin air but what you could do for e-books, templates,
- 7:15guides, etc. is use ChatGPT to craft it
- 7:19and curate it for you as long as it was going to help someone
- 7:22solve a problem. So find out who you're doing it for, for what purpose, create this
- 7:25cool little design thing that ChatGPT will do mostly for you. And
- 7:30then, once you have it, you can publish it on Gumroad. That's
- 7:34gumroad.com. It's a cool app on your phone too. You can
- 7:37just go on there. It hosts your PDF and
- 7:40you can literally sell it there. It's got a paywall on there and you get your own Gumroad
- 7:45website, URL. And
- 7:48anyone that goes and clicks on it can buy your e-book. They can buy your e-book.
- 7:52Prompt sheet they can buy your whatever it is. You got right
- 7:55your PDF You can go to Etsy. You can do it on Etsy or pay hip
- 7:59any of those platforms are fine and You can do it.
- 8:03I mean, I think I sold my first ebook once
- 8:07upon a time using gumroad and And it's so fun when you get that first
- 8:12$7 back then. I made my first $7. I made it so fast it felt illegal.
- 8:16But then I was like, oh, now I have the actual steps on what to do. So I'm
- 8:19just trying to give you some simple steps to do here. Now, listen up very closely. You're
- 8:23going to listen to this episode or watch this episode on YouTube, and
- 8:26you're going to do nothing. because I'm filling you with dopamine right
- 8:29now. Not intentionally, it's how you're receiving the information. It's
- 8:33flooding your brain with a chemical called dopamine. It's
- 8:37like mental masturbation. It feels good but doesn't get you
- 8:40anywhere. You want to be able to take what I'm explaining now
- 8:44and go to gumroad.com even go
- 8:47to YouTube and type in how to use Gumroad, then figure out
- 8:50what PDF you wanna create, then go to ChatGPT and create it,
- 8:54and then design it in Canva, it's ready to go, you wanna save
- 8:57it as a PDF, then you wanna go to Gumroad and upload it, and then you wanna take your URL link,
- 9:01and you wanna DM some friends and ask them to take a look at it, or you wanna promote
- 9:04it on your reels, or get it in front of people's eyeballs, that's what you're gonna
- 9:08do. So I'm just explaining, this is what you actually have to
- 9:11do. So when you finish listening to this episode, you gotta go and flip and do the
- 9:14work for goodness sake. Like go and like sit
- 9:19there for hours and hours figuring
- 9:22it out. That's what's stopping most people
- 9:26from actually making money. They don't sit quietly and just go through it and move
- 9:30through each painful process of doing this. You're not going to be a pro at Gumroad
- 9:33straight away. You're not going to know what Pedia, but you got to sit down and
- 9:36just play. Play with it until it
- 9:40comes together. It's creation. You're
- 9:43creating something and it takes some focus. So get off your phone,
- 9:47put away your Instagram reels except for this one if you came from a
- 9:50reel, that's great. But now I'm suggesting you put your phone away after
- 9:53this episode. After you've subscribed to this episode and shared it with
- 9:56a friend, then put it away and start implementing the
- 10:00lessons so you can actually make money. All right, the third way to make money so
- 10:03fast it feels illegal. What are the fastest ways to make money ever? This
- 10:07is what I put in some of my steps and a lot of my students do this step,
- 10:12particularly when they're paying off debt, is to go to Facebook Marketplace and
- 10:15put something on there and sell it. You can actually even buy
- 10:18something cheap. In fact, you can go to Facebook Marketplace and get
- 10:22free stuff on there and resell it on Facebook Marketplace. In
- 10:25fact, you can go around to people's houses once a month on trash collection
- 10:29day, find stuff in their front yard, probably put it on Facebook Marketplace
- 10:33and probably sell it. I'm not suggesting that's the greatest idea. What
- 10:37is in your house now that's worth something that you can put on Facebook Marketplace to
- 10:40sell? I'm sure there's something for $100, $500, $1,000, whatever. Figure
- 10:44out what it is. Sometimes, it's clothes. Sometimes, it's furniture. I
- 10:48remember one time for Christmas, we had to get rid of this big table
- 10:52in our balcony, big glass table. It was worth something, but
- 10:56we just needed it to go. So I actually put
- 10:59an ad up saying 100 bucks, come and get it. 100 bucks, but
- 11:02you got to remove it. And so it was like I was paid profits to
- 11:06remove something I didn't want to remove myself. But it's a
- 11:09nice habit to get into. Before you buy something, it's nice
- 11:12to actually sell something first before you buy the next thing. I
- 11:15wish they did this with Australian legislation and tax laws, but they don't. They just
- 11:18add stuff on. But if you can switch it up, you
- 11:22know, buy something. I even had a student this week reach out to me and say, Lloyd, I
- 11:25want to go on this trip for my business. I want to go to this event. It's really important. Should
- 11:29I dip into my savings? I'm like, well, the truth of the matter is
- 11:33your business needs to fund itself. So make a sale in your business
- 11:36and get the sale to fund the trip. Okay, but that's another story.
- 11:40If you're looking at Facebook Marketplace, it's the fastest way by far to make sales
- 11:44because chucking junk on there and getting people to buy it for five
- 11:47bucks, you're just going to get used to making money. And part of the money-making
- 11:51journey is just allowing yourself to play the
- 11:55game of making money long enough where your brain figures it out and you've then
- 11:58got files to draw on for the rest of your life of what it feels like to
- 12:02sell stuff. And I remember when I bought a Harley Davidson, when
- 12:06I was in Abu Dhabi, in 2009, I got
- 12:10my very first ever bonus check and my only ever bonus check, I
- 12:13might add. And I remember I took it and I went to the Harley Davidson store
- 12:17in Abu Dhabi And I bought a brand new Harley Davidson off
- 12:20the floor and nights to 1200 took it got it pipes
- 12:24on it. Vance and Heinz pipes and all
- 12:27these cool other things. And then because I
- 12:30bought it with no tax, I actually repatriated it back to Australia. and
- 12:34then got it converted and then I actually, it was raining
- 12:38so much, I never used, I never wrote it. So I actually sold it
- 12:41on Facebook Marketplace. The morning I turned 30, went downstairs,
- 12:45sold it for $14,500. I actually made money out of it, which is kind
- 12:48of weird. And I took that money and I invested in stocks. And
- 12:52the reason I did that is because I could have kept it there and held it for longer, but
- 12:55I was like, you know, I'm not using it, I'll sell it and I'll invest in assets. And so it
- 12:58was a fast way of turning something that I wasn't using into money. Okay,
- 13:02so you can do it for desks, chairs, monitors. You'll be surprised and shocked
- 13:06as to one person's trash is another person's treasure.
- 13:10So Facebook Marketplace is a really fast way to make
- 13:13fast money. If you really want to get clever, go
- 13:16to Timu. Buy something on there for cheap and resell
- 13:20it on Facebook Marketplace for like 300% more. Not joking. Even
- 13:23go to your markets. Don't even go to your markets. It's a waste of time. Just go on
- 13:27Facebook Marketplace. It's the biggest market in the world. You can
- 13:30buy things off Timo everyday and resell them. It's called product arbitrage. And
- 13:34if I was like, That's
- 13:37what I'd be doing with my time. When I was 10, I started my first car washing business. We
- 13:43had lived in a complex here on the Gold Coast. I might have been 10 or
- 13:4711. I would go around the complex and hand out flyers into their mailboxes to say, I'll
- 13:50wash your car for $5. So I'd start trying to wash cars
- 13:53for five bucks, but that's before the interweb and all these wonderful inventions.
- 13:57But now I would go and I would find things on Timu and I'd buy them.
- 14:01I would even buy them. I would find something on Timu for a price.
- 14:04Here's what I would do. This is going to be cool. I would go to TikTok. I
- 14:08would find what's selling on TikTok shop. Like
- 14:12it could be a plastic pellet gun. It could be plastic
- 14:17nunchuck. All sorts of cool stuff that young boys and girls
- 14:21want to play with toys, whatever. I'd find something that was really
- 14:25trendy on TikTok. I'd go to Timu. I
- 14:28would just take it. I would save the photo to
- 14:32my phone. or I'd find a
- 14:35photo of it that someone had taken that's a real photo on Google Images.
- 14:39I would go to Facebook Marketplace. I would list it on there for
- 14:43sale. I would wait until someone gave me hits to buy it off me and
- 14:47then negotiate and say, yeah, it's pretty well soon
- 14:50ready. And then I would go back to TeamView and then I'd buy it. So
- 14:54I'm proving the business model before I'm actually buying the product. And
- 14:58if I was like 10, I'd be doing that. And I'd love to be able to teach my nephew how
- 15:01to do this but I don't know if he has the tension of focus. I mean, young
- 15:05people don't always want to make money or they don't. No, it's not they don't want to make money. They
- 15:08want to make money but they don't want to do the work. It takes
- 15:12work to go to TikTok. It takes work to put the photo on Facebook
- 15:15Marketplace. I did this with a laptop. I went to Alibaba, AliExpress. I
- 15:18found this laptop, this Lenovo laptop. I took an image of it and
- 15:21put it to Facebook Marketplace and got some hits and then reordered it off there
- 15:25and then to resell it. So you can do that, product arbitrage. That's
- 15:28what I'd do. All right, we're halfway there. We've got seven ways
- 15:31to make money so fast it feels illegal. We're up to number four. Just to caveat, these
- 15:35aren't like super scalable ways to make like millions. I'm just
- 15:39trying to help you make some money so fast that it feels illegal. And if
- 15:42you can't do these little steps and make these little amounts of money, you're not going
- 15:46to scale it up. Just saying. And the cons to
- 15:49this are that it's gonna take time, okay? But I
- 15:52don't see any downside to it. So let's continue on. Just quickly, if
- 15:55you're ready to take control of your finances but feel stuck on where to start,
- 15:59I have a solution. My book, Money Bias Happiness, simplifies
- 16:03investing and wealth building with practical steps to help you achieve financial
- 16:07peace. Get your copy via the link in the show notes and let's get your
- 16:10money working for you. Now back to the episode. Way number four,
- 16:14apps. I was telling my wife yesterday, oh
- 16:17my god, if Uber Eats was around when I was younger, I'd have jumped on my pushbike and
- 16:21delivered food for sure to make money. And
- 16:25you know, you might get a free chip here and there. But DoorDash,
- 16:29Uber Eats, I mean... Poor
- 16:33shake my wife has made thousands of dollars on poor shake
- 16:37babysitting dogs in our house Like we've babysat
- 16:41dogs for two weeks at a time over Christmas and my wife got paid thousands
- 16:45of dollars she turned our little house into an Airbnb
- 16:48for dogs and I It was like a farm. No,
- 16:52but you can take those apps and turn them into money. I mean, they're
- 16:56right there. It's not sexy, but it's liquid cash and it's fast because what's
- 16:59cool about that is this. If you use the PawShake app or the Madpaws app,
- 17:03you put a profile in there, you start getting hits. One of my students did this. I said, look, why
- 17:06don't you do this with the kids? And you can make money fast, because everyone
- 17:10wants to make money fast. Like, Lloyd, how do I make money fast? I'm like, well, put
- 17:13a profile on PawShake, get some inquiries, and then look after a
- 17:16dog. He did it. His kids made $30 that night. And like, oh my
- 17:19god, I just made $30 so fast. Never done this in my whole life. And now he does
- 17:22it with his kids, and they make $600 a month. That's $7,000 a year.
- 17:26Put that in an index fund and scale it. Don't
- 17:30turn your nose up at small money because it can turn into big money if you know what to do with it. But
- 17:33you can do this with your kids. If you can't put a profile on PawShake or
- 17:37MadPaws and look after a little baby dog for a night, you
- 17:40are not going to make money ever. Just give up
- 17:43now. I'm telling you. Yep, give up. It ain't going to happen for you. Sorry. But
- 17:47if you're challenged by that and that triggers you, good. Sit down, do
- 17:51the profile, bloody get on with it. Like it's going to take action,
- 17:55right? It's not sexy. but it works. Number five of
- 17:58how to make money so fast it feels illegal. This one's really
- 18:02cool. because you already have what it takes to
- 18:05do this one. It's sell the skill you already have. Whether it's
- 18:08fitness, finance, dog training, baking, whatever. I
- 18:11mean, the other day I learned how to bake a banana bread, literally.
- 18:15I went to AI, I put in how to bake a banana bread. I
- 18:18did it, didn't taste that good first go, but I'm getting good at it now. I've got 10 batches
- 18:22under my belt. And I'm fairly certain if I was to go and create and
- 18:25bake one this week, I'm certain I could sell slices
- 18:29of it. I could go down to the markets on a Wednesday and I would
- 18:32just like bake lots of them and sell each slice for $5. And
- 18:36that's a way to actually turn your skill set into income. Now,
- 18:40I haven't done that but I could. Dog Training, I've got a student of
- 18:43mine, she trains dogs and as she likes to say, she trains humans because
- 18:47it's not the dog's fault, it's the human's fault. So the
- 18:50humans don't know they're being trained but she trains dogs. And she's turned her
- 18:53skill into a wonderful little business. She consults, she does group training, she's
- 18:57got a little e-book, she's really good. It's
- 19:01called Busy Pause. Go check it out. It's on Google. She turned
- 19:05her skill into an income. It doesn't really matter
- 19:08what it is. You can turn it into an income. Now, some of you are in
- 19:12white-collar jobs. For example, you're in a particular employment
- 19:16role with a company and you may not feel like you're
- 19:19a baker or you're a fitness pro or you're a doctor. I get it. But
- 19:23what is it you do do for your employer? Because if you can't figure
- 19:26that out, I'm pretty sure AI is going to take your job in the next 15 minutes. But
- 19:30if you can figure it out, what problem do you solve for the organization
- 19:34or someone else outside the organization that they're actually paying you for? And
- 19:37once you figure that out, guess where you can find more clients? Cha-ching, LinkedIn.
- 19:41Go to LinkedIn, put a profile on there, this is what you do for people, this is how you help, and
- 19:45then start DMing people. You can get the Platinum, what's it called? Platinum Premium LinkedIn.
- 19:49It allows you to do tons of DM and outreach. And all you need to do
- 19:53is go and find your ideal client on there, right? So for example, If
- 19:57you were someone who, I don't know,
- 20:01was an HR specialist, you might decide
- 20:04that you want to be a hiring specialist for particular companies. So you can be
- 20:08a freelance hirer. So what you want to do is you want to go and talk to other HR
- 20:11people in companies and say, look, if I could find a place or a person for you, would
- 20:14you pay me? Like there's just ways to take your, that's probably a really bad
- 20:18example, but there's so many different ways to take what you
- 20:21already know and just start DMing people
- 20:24on LinkedIn to tell them you can do that for them. It's not that difficult.
- 20:28I did this once when I was in Abu Dhabi. I was doing financial modeling
- 20:32for the developments in Abu Dhabi and for real estate developments.
- 20:37And there was a company, a consulting company that
- 20:40was in Dubai that needed someone to do the financial models for them for a particular project.
- 20:44So I went and had a meeting with them. I said, I can do this for you. It's going to be $1,000. They're like, no
- 20:47worries. And I did the financial modeling, gave them the report and $1,000. That
- 20:52wasn't even LinkedIn. I wasn't even using LinkedIn. I was just using my network. But you
- 20:55can without a doubt make money. I was even the other day, I was at
- 20:58the Anzac Day dawn service and I was literally
- 21:03sitting there with my dad. He's having a few beers and I'm drinking soda waters. all
- 21:08day, all morning sitting there. And I started chatting with this lady. She's in real estate. And
- 21:11I said, oh, are you using social media to market your real estate?
- 21:14She goes, ah, I kind of am. I'm like, what's your social media handle?
- 21:18I pulled up her Facebook and Instagram. I'm like, oh, yeah, have you thought about doing this,
- 21:21this, or this, or this? She goes, that would be a really good idea. I'm like, yeah, I would do this, and I'd
- 21:25do this, and here's what I would do, and I'd create a group, and I'd do this. She goes, oh, my god.
- 21:29Can you help me?" I was like, what do you mean? She goes, can I pay you? I'm like,
- 21:33nah, I'm just trying to help you
- 21:36now here. She said, Lloyd, I really want you to help me. If I DM you,
- 21:39can you help me? I'm like, I can maybe send you some stuff, but it's not my business,
- 21:43like I'm not doing. But I was just trying to help her and she was
- 21:46ready to part. I could have made money there and then. You
- 21:50already probably have the skill set you need. And if you don't
- 21:53have it, go find on YouTube and learn it. Next, number
- 21:57six, how to make money so fast it feels illegal. This
- 22:01is one of my all time favorites. I've made over $2 million
- 22:06in profits with my wife doing this since we started in
- 22:092014. What I love about it the most is it's a plug and play business model. You can literally enroll
- 22:13within 15 minutes. And then the following week, you can make money. And
- 22:16it doesn't just not made once, it's made over and over and over again. It's called network marketing
- 22:20where you're marketing a current product or service from a company that developed it, not you,
- 22:24and you're marketing to your network. It means people, your acquaintances, not always
- 22:27your best friends and your family, just relax, calm down. They're usually
- 22:30not the best customers anyway. They're a pain in the ass. So you're better off just
- 22:34to sell to acquaintances. So what you could do is In fact,
- 22:38I've been teaching people how to do this forever. I'm speaking and keynoting
- 22:41at an event soon with 300 people to teach them how to do this. I've spoken in
- 22:46front of 7,000 Thousands of people all
- 22:49over the world teach them how to do this. Once you've got the right product
- 22:53and you've used it yourself and got a result, then you simply have to go and tell
- 22:56the story to people and they'll come to you and you will attract them to
- 22:59you and then you send them to the product and they buy it and you get paid. It's not that
- 23:03complex. But what I would do is order the product, get the
- 23:06result, share some story and testimony to my social media. And
- 23:10when people are leaning in, I personally would run a webinar and
- 23:13do it all at once, but you can also have a little home party at your house if you like having
- 23:16events at your house, invite your friends over, and you could actually share your story
- 23:20there. But your personal testimony of a product will get
- 23:23people to lean in. And once they buy the product, the company will pay you
- 23:26money. I've had so many students come
- 23:30in and do, like, we have a side hustle school, we teach them how to do it, and
- 23:33they make money, like, within the first 30 days, they're making hundreds
- 23:36and hundreds of dollars, okay? Some even make thousands. So it
- 23:39is, I've known people who have made a million dollars
- 23:43from start to finish with this in 18 months. So can you make fast money?
- 23:46Yes. Is it always probable? Unlikely, because most people that are
- 23:50coming into it don't have the skills yet to get
- 23:53that big money straight away. But later on, when you develop skills, you
- 23:57get the bills. All right, number seven. Number
- 24:00seven, fastest way, make money so fast it feels illegal. Take
- 24:05this, you're gonna hate this one, take more shifts. That doesn't feel
- 24:08illegal, it feels very legal. But we need to
- 24:12explain this, right? Take overtime, take a second job. It's a psychology shift
- 24:15because you're like, well, this is like trading time for money. It is, but
- 24:19this is about making fast money. And sometimes the fastest way to make money is where you're
- 24:22already standing. So if you can just do overtime and
- 24:25work on a public holiday, for $68 an hour, you're
- 24:29making twice as much for the same effort. So you're actually making twice as much for the same
- 24:32effort, which should feel illegal. So just be a bit smarter with how you're taking
- 24:35your shifts when you're working, and you can make money even faster.
- 24:39All right, so that's it. Fast money isn't about luck, it's
- 24:42about velocity, it's about action taking, right? You've got something
- 24:46valuable already, your time, your energy, your ability, Google, Chachapati, like,
- 24:50ah! The only reason it feels illegal is because you're doing it a different way.
- 24:54So it's just getting your mindset used to it. But oh my God,
- 24:57you've never, ever, making money has never been so simple because
- 25:01you have a chat GPT now. It's scary how easy
- 25:05it is, but again, you're going to listen to this and not do anything because you think that it's going
- 25:08to fall in your lap and I don't want you to think that. So now we've got to the end of the episode, you're
- 25:11welcome to go and put it into action. Action takers
- 25:15are money makers, all right? So 2025, you'll
- 25:19be rewarded for speed, simplicity and solutions and action taking and
- 25:22the world's flooded with problems. There's problems everywhere. You
- 25:25only need to solve one fast. All right, so hit the subscribe button,
