"what if I have no money?"


"I don't have any money to invest" - wrote one of my subscribers in reply to my last email.

And this person is not alone!

In fact, so many people are in that situation that I thought I'd make this the topic of today's email.

The "no-money problem" is a real catch 22 situation, isn't it?

You need to make extra money - so you turn to online side hustles... but to learn how to make the money, you have to invest money... that you don't have!

So what do you do, Reader?

I don't have a magic solution, but the reality is that you CAN do affiliate marketing for free.

It is possible.

And I don't mean possible as in "it's possible I win the lottery" (where let's face it, it's highly unlikely I ever will!).

I mean it's feasible, doable - it does work!

You need three things:

  • a traffic source (somewhere online where you create content around a topic)
  • products to promote as an affiliate
  • time

That's it in a nutshell.

I made a video a couple of years ago, showing you exactly how to do it in more details.

It's still valid today, and you can click here to watch it on YouTube.

The biggest challenge with doing it all alone, without investing in any kind of training, is knowing what information to trust.

There's soooooo much free training out there, it's incredibly hard to know which one will truly help you make those first dollars you need.

This is why I'd always recommend you invest in some training - it will save you a lot of time.

And I don't know about you, but time is my most precious resource... and I really never ever want to waste it.

Anyway - I hope this helps!

Have a great weekend! I'll be back on Monday :-)

Winding road through snowy, barren landscape

I'm coming to the end of this road, Reader... Soon you'll get no more emails from me (maybe that's a relief lol!). After months of umming and ahing... ...and weeks of trying to pivot whilst still keeping a few toes and fingers in the make money online niche... I'm finally moving on for real. "If Easy and Gluten Free is THE thing, then you cannot do anything other than that" were my mentor's words yesterday. And he's right. The time has come for me to choose and go all in. So what does this...

Tea

People drive me CRAZY at times! You might relate to this,Reader... Yesterday we were sitting in my sister's living-room, sipping a nice cup of afternoon tea... Kids were playing in the background, having a good time... It was gloomy outside, and lovely and cozy inside... All good so far, right? And then, out of the blue, my sister gets on the war path! "So how's your online 'stuff' going?" she asks, her voice loaded with skepticism as she says "STUFF" (notice how she never calls it "work" or...

There's nothing more discouraging than to compare yourself to others who are way ahead of you. I know this - and yet I fall into this trap more often than I care to admit. The other day, I wrote to you about how exciting it is to build a new business... But that's only half the story. It's exciting, for sure. But it's also hard. If you're having a bad day, I'm right there with you Reader. This morning I found myself staring at my YouTube stats for my easy and gluten free channel... ... the...
