  Now, here's your host, Julia London.
• 0:24
  Do you want to learn how to achieve Financial Freedom so
• 0:29
  that you have more time doing what you love, the minimalist
• 0:32
  Community talks a lot about how to save money and being an
• 0:36
  extreme a minimalist has really helped me to save up to this
• 0:40
  house in the top 5. Most expensive town in the UK.
• 0:46
  But the biggest secrets to help me do, this has been passive
• 0:50
  income every day. When I wake up, I can decide
• 0:53
  whether I want to work or not because money comes in
• 0:55
  regardless. So if you are watching my
• 0:57
  videos, because you are spiritual Seeker, Minimalist.
• 1:01
  Then this is the ultimate lifestyle for you, because I
• 1:03
  might guess, is that a long commute and a dead of night to
• 1:07
  five job? It's not really your thing
• 1:09
  today. I will reveal how I'm able to
• 1:12
  make money without a knife to five job and how you can do it
• 1:16
  too. In four simple steps.
• 1:18
  A big thanks to short form for sponsoring this video and let's
• 1:22
  get into it growing up. My dream was to get a job at
• 1:26
  Google and using the law of attraction.
• 1:29
  I was able to get Get it. But I was still miserable.
• 1:33
  This was not what I wanted. I was still stuck in an office.
• 1:36
  I had a boss telling me what to do and I didn't like my job.
• 1:40
  It wasn't contributing anything to the society, then I had a
• 1:43
  life crisis, I realized. If I don't like this job at
• 1:47
  Google I mean, that's not it really any companies who spoiled
• 1:51
  their employees more than Google.
• 1:53
  So what should I do? And then I realized to be able
• 1:56
  to achieve both freedom to travel and Financial Freedom, I
• 2:01
  needed to create passive income. I tried several different
• 2:05
  passive income streams, but the ones that really stood out to
• 2:08
  me, because they were so much fun was YouTube and blogging in
• 2:11
  my posting content on these two platforms.
• 2:14
  I was able to monetize them with ads, so we have AdSense on
• 2:19
  YouTube and on my blog, I'm using media Vine.
• 2:22
  I'm also monetizing them through affiliate links.
• 2:25
  So I will look up whether my favorite products have any
• 2:28
  affiliate program. Alms and then when people click
• 2:31
  on the link and by then I get a commission.
• 2:35
  I also sell ebooks and online courses, so when people click on
• 2:39
  my YouTube description or in my blog shop, then they can buy
• 2:43
  that automatically and this can happen, even when I'm on
• 2:46
  vacation, right? I wake up and I say, oh well,
• 2:48
  someone both my ebook or someone with my horse.
• 2:50
  And then I also sell merch. Like this t-shirt is my newest
• 2:54
  March. So this is very easy to set up
• 2:57
  in places like spreadshirt and other Put them on Services where
• 3:01
  all you need to do is get a designer on, for example, Fiverr
• 3:05
  the path from Fiverr and then put it on a T-shirt and decide
• 3:09
  which cut which colors to offer and then just put that link in
• 3:12
  your blog and in your YouTube description.
• 3:14
  So if this sounds interesting to you, I will tell you.
• 3:16
  Now the four steps you can do to achieve passive income, creating
• 3:22
  content. Step number one is to find your
• 3:25
  Niche. My Niche is spirituality.
• 3:27
  I also talked a bit about minimalism now.
• 3:29
  How do you find your Niche? Think about which blogs you like
• 3:33
  to read which books, which podcasts in which category is
• 3:37
  it? Is it in business?
• 3:40
  Finance, healing minimalism and also think about what people
• 3:45
  come to you for advice? Is it for the relationships?
• 3:49
  Is it money advice that could also give you a clue of what a
• 3:54
  good Niche for you would be step two is to create content on
• 3:58
  search engines. So Google and YouTube and also
• 4:02
  podcast, I would say are all search engines so people go
• 4:06
  there when they want help with something.
• 4:08
  So if you've created a good YouTube video or blog post, then
• 4:12
  people can still find it like eight years later.
• 4:15
  Compare that with social media like Instagram and Tick Tock,
• 4:18
  the lifespan is around three days even less on visible
• 4:23
  Twitter, which only has a lifetime of like two hours
• 4:26
  usually. So on the social media
• 4:28
  platforms, you have to constantly we pump out content
• 4:31
  to grow bath with YouTube and blog.
• 4:34
  You can take months of work and you will still get that income
• 4:39
  step 3 is to monetize. So get some affiliate links for
• 4:42
  your favorite products. If you don't know which ones to
• 4:46
  pick, then I recommend ClickBank.
• 4:48
  It's a big Marketplace for affiliate links.
• 4:50
  It's very easy. You just search for your Niche
• 4:53
  and you can see you can sort them by the most profitable and
• 4:56
  then you just click and then they will auto-generate a link
• 4:59
  for you. I also recommend creating an
• 5:01
  online course people value online courses, more than ebooks
• 5:04
  people. Expect ebooks to be around the
• 5:06
  same price as a physical book. Well, with online courses, they
• 5:09
  compared it to University lectures which you know how
• 5:13
  expensive, a University degree can be, right?
• 5:15
  So you can charge more for your online courses.
• 5:18
  Step 4 is to become a master in your niche of true expert and
• 5:23
  you do this simply by reading the biggest, most famous books
• 5:26
  in your Niche, subscribe to other YouTubers.
• 5:29
  It's in your Niche or podcasts so that you're always learning.
• 5:34
  You also want to learn about entrepreneurship and digital
• 5:36
  marketing to do so that, you know, how to structure your blog
• 5:39
  posting YouTube videos for the greatest engagement as a
• 5:43
  minimalist. I don't really like to collect
• 5:45
  many physical books because it can get very cluttered and I
• 5:48
  prefer to have them on my Kindle or on my phone in my app short
• 5:53
  form that I mentioned that is sponsoring this video.
• 5:56
  There, you can find book summaries.
• 5:58
  It's kind of like blankest if you heard about it.
• 5:59
  It's where it's like around one page summary but they also have
• 6:04
  a more detailed one but it go deeper into every chapter.
• 6:08
  It also comes with interactive exercises to help you apply what
• 6:11
  you learn. So that way I find sometimes you
• 6:14
  actually learn more from the book summaries and they actual
• 6:16
  books subscribers actually get to vote on what books to cover
• 6:20
  which is really cool. It's not a replacement of books,
• 6:22
  but if you like me and you have a long list of books that you
• 6:25
  want to read, then this is a great way to get straight to the
• 6:28
  good stuff. I read one book Summary a day as
• 6:30
  part of my morning routine and sometimes when I go for walks, I
• 6:33
  like to listen to the audio versions.
• 6:35
  So, if you and I fast-track yourself to becoming an expert
• 6:38
  in your Niche, then I highly recommend short form.
• 6:41
  One book, I read recently is building a story brand, I have
• 6:44
  already read that one in the past but reading the short for
• 6:47
  motion was a great way to kind of catch up on the key points.
• 6:51
  This book has some great nuggets of wisdom about how to achieve
• 6:57
  more sales in your business through storytelling.
• 6:59
  Here are Highlights from the book that really stood out for
• 7:01
  me. The brain, ignores, anything
• 7:03
  that's complicated because parsing complexity uses up
• 7:07
  energy and calories. So in other words, minimalism
• 7:11
  can help you get more sales because the more cluttered your
• 7:15
  website is, the more links, there is everywhere.
• 7:19
  The less people are actually likely to click them because
• 7:21
  they will just be overwhelmed. So you would have a simple
• 7:23
  website with a lead magnet. So a free guide of some sort.
• 7:27
  They will sign people up to the email list and that be the focus
• 7:30
  on your website. The only thing customers care
• 7:33
  about is how your brand can solve their problems.
• 7:36
  So if your marketing is unclear or confusing or self-centered
• 7:40
  and obsesses about the company's image, it's doomed to fail.
• 7:44
  I see this a lot on YouTube, especially where people ramble
• 7:48
  on about their life before they get started on the video when
• 7:52
  it's really about how you can help your audience, it's about
• 7:55
  them and not about you short form publishes, new book, guides
• 7:58
  and articles every week. You can find books in many
