1
00:00:00,109 --> 00:00:03,312
Making money has never been so simple. If you can't look after

2
00:00:03,332 --> 00:00:06,715
a little baby dog for a night, you are not going to make money ever. That's

3
00:00:06,755 --> 00:00:10,078
what's stopping most people from actually making money. Better go and flip and do the work

4
00:00:10,118 --> 00:00:13,301
for goodness sake. Fast money isn't about luck, it's about velocity, it's

5
00:00:13,341 --> 00:00:16,404
about action taking. The only reason it feels illegal is because you're doing it

6
00:00:16,424 --> 00:00:19,747
a different way. It's just getting your mindset used to it. Sometimes the fastest

7
00:00:19,787 --> 00:00:23,510
way to make money is where you're already standing. I'm Lloyd James Ross, seven-figure

8
00:00:23,550 --> 00:00:26,811
investor and entrepreneur, and I've helped thousands of business owners and

9
00:00:26,851 --> 00:00:30,072
professionals turn financial stress into success. If

10
00:00:30,112 --> 00:00:33,433
you're stuck in old money habits, overwhelmed by investing, or unsure where

11
00:00:33,473 --> 00:00:36,774
to start, this is for you. I'll give you the mindset and

12
00:00:36,835 --> 00:00:40,616
strategies to take control, grow your wealth, and achieve financial

13
00:00:40,696 --> 00:00:44,418
freedom. It's time to make your money work for you. 7 ways

14
00:00:44,458 --> 00:00:47,741
to make money so fast it feels illegal. If you're broke

15
00:00:47,761 --> 00:00:51,125
behind or just need some fast money, this episode is

16
00:00:51,205 --> 00:00:54,968
for you. It feels like a cheat code. I'm going to take you through these 7 ways to

17
00:00:55,009 --> 00:00:58,252
make money fairly fast. Not all are scalable, but

18
00:00:58,332 --> 00:01:01,535
certainly they all work. How I've been able to do them all myself is how I'm

19
00:01:01,555 --> 00:01:05,459
teaching them now, so I will share them with you. You

20
00:01:05,499 --> 00:01:09,223
need to make some money. This is really designed for you this episode, right? It'll

21
00:01:09,243 --> 00:01:12,727
feel 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?

22
00:01:12,787 --> 00:01:15,971
But you're not. It's not illegal. It's just you're actually following the right

23
00:01:15,991 --> 00:01:19,815
steps. And you're following the right ingredients to make money. And you're

24
00:01:19,835 --> 00:01:23,460
helping someone solve a problem. and they're paying you for it and that's all money making is

25
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:27,044
at the end of the day. So I want to step you through these seven ways. I'll give you the examples

26
00:01:27,084 --> 00:01:30,508
and I'll give you examples of how I've done it and that will hopefully give

27
00:01:30,528 --> 00:01:33,632
you some inspiration and some steps to follow to go off and

28
00:01:33,672 --> 00:01:37,417
make some money this weekend instead of jet skiing. Go

29
00:01:37,457 --> 00:01:40,620
make money, right? Jet skiing takes a lot of money. I want

30
00:01:40,660 --> 00:01:43,923
you to make money. I often say that because on the weekends when

31
00:01:43,943 --> 00:01:47,225
I'm working, everyone's Jetscan and I did that when I was younger

32
00:01:47,245 --> 00:01:50,827
so I kind of get out of my system but you've got to spend the time to

33
00:01:50,867 --> 00:01:54,009
do these things. So these steps, they're not going to be like do

34
00:01:54,049 --> 00:01:57,211
this and conjure money out of thin air. Action takers are

35
00:01:57,231 --> 00:02:00,954
money makers, meaning you've got to take the action. That's the input. And

36
00:02:00,974 --> 00:02:04,196
then as a result of that, you're going to get money in your bank account. So

37
00:02:04,236 --> 00:02:07,658
buckle up as I take you through the seven ways to make money so fast

38
00:02:08,279 --> 00:02:11,702
it feels illegal. The first way to make money so fast

39
00:02:11,762 --> 00:02:15,427
it feels illegal is freelance flips. This is where you're freelancing design

40
00:02:15,447 --> 00:02:18,591
work, copywriting, design, video edits, whatever it might be, and

41
00:02:18,691 --> 00:02:21,976
selling them. And recently, actually had a student of mine do this.

42
00:02:22,216 --> 00:02:26,221
He had a photography business and now he's actually starting to realize that reels

43
00:02:26,281 --> 00:02:30,327
are more important. than even photography, still photography. So

44
00:02:30,387 --> 00:02:33,748
what you can actually do is, you can actually go to a wedding, you

45
00:02:33,768 --> 00:02:36,969
can go to an event, you can go to anyone in your network who's

46
00:02:37,029 --> 00:02:40,510
hosting something, and you can actually offer to do reels for

47
00:02:40,550 --> 00:02:44,372
them, curated reels that you edit, that look sexy, and

48
00:02:44,392 --> 00:02:47,453
you can sell them for, you can sell each reel for $50. You

49
00:02:47,473 --> 00:02:50,714
could do four reels for $200, as an example. You

50
00:02:50,734 --> 00:02:54,355
might even be able to sell them for $100 each if it's a wedding, because they're wedding reels.

51
00:02:55,035 --> 00:02:58,781
And that may be something you can do. So this is an example of quick freelance flips.

52
00:02:59,562 --> 00:03:03,207
And I'm sure that someone in your network has got an event coming

53
00:03:03,388 --> 00:03:06,973
up and the reality is no one really looks at photos again

54
00:03:07,413 --> 00:03:10,577
or their videography again generally. but they do

55
00:03:10,597 --> 00:03:13,940
look at reels and they do want to share reels to their feed. My wife

56
00:03:13,980 --> 00:03:17,123
did this for my sister recently at her wedding. Obviously my sister had

57
00:03:17,183 --> 00:03:20,285
a wedding photographer there but my wife, being able to build the

58
00:03:20,325 --> 00:03:23,688
skill set which anyone can learn from YouTube by the way of how to craft and

59
00:03:23,768 --> 00:03:27,330
edit a reel on Instagram, she created four

60
00:03:27,591 --> 00:03:30,713
reels for my sister. If it wasn't my sister, she

61
00:03:30,753 --> 00:03:33,955
could have easily charged her $500 to $1,000 for

62
00:03:33,975 --> 00:03:37,297
those reels. She conjured it out of thin air from the wedding.

63
00:03:37,337 --> 00:03:40,759
She just had the footage there. She took it. She went home. She edited

64
00:03:40,819 --> 00:03:43,960
it and bang, the edits are ready to sell. Now, how do you

65
00:03:44,020 --> 00:03:47,342
sell them? You sell them to the person you did them for, but you can pretty much craft an

66
00:03:47,362 --> 00:03:51,095
offer fairly smartly. Look at people in your area. and

67
00:03:51,115 --> 00:03:54,238
your network, see what events they're running and say, look, if I was to do

68
00:03:54,278 --> 00:03:57,441
some cool reels for you to promote your event or after or

69
00:03:57,481 --> 00:04:00,624
to use again, would that be a value to you? That's all

70
00:04:00,644 --> 00:04:03,906
you've got to say to them. If they say yes, say great, I can do four reels for

71
00:04:04,247 --> 00:04:07,880
$200. Does that sound fair enough? Yes, sounds fair enough. Great. And

72
00:04:07,900 --> 00:04:11,202
then you go do it. Okay? Nice and simple, right?

73
00:04:11,222 --> 00:04:14,685
There's an example. You can do this for copywriting. You can do it, you

74
00:04:14,725 --> 00:04:18,247
know, I mean, I get hit up every single day. Please don't hit me up on Instagram

75
00:04:18,267 --> 00:04:21,350
saying, Lloyd, do you need a copywriter? I get like 4,000 a

76
00:04:21,450 --> 00:04:24,612
day. And I just roll, I just send

77
00:04:24,632 --> 00:04:27,755
back to them, hey, you know, have you bought my book yet? I

78
00:04:27,775 --> 00:04:31,583
kind of repitch him because I just get so many. But look, you

79
00:04:31,603 --> 00:04:35,284
can get copywriting clients. I mean, how ridiculously easy is copywriting now? You

80
00:04:35,324 --> 00:04:38,625
have ChatGPT to help you write the copy. It does it for you. It's

81
00:04:38,665 --> 00:04:42,347
ridiculous. So if you want to be able to get more clients for

82
00:04:42,447 --> 00:04:45,608
copywriting, proofreading, creative work, design work

83
00:04:45,648 --> 00:04:49,095
you can do on Canva that AI does for you these days.

84
00:04:49,115 --> 00:04:52,357
No one realizes it yet. It's pretty crazy. You can go

85
00:04:52,397 --> 00:04:55,560
into Fiverr. Someone yesterday I was talking to called it Fiverr but

86
00:04:55,820 --> 00:04:59,864
Fiverr, F-I-V-E-R-R.com, Upwork.com

87
00:05:00,264 --> 00:05:03,447
or even DM your local business pages, DM friends, DM people. You

88
00:05:03,467 --> 00:05:06,770
can DM them. You can slide into the DMs like everyone does for me on a flippant

89
00:05:06,790 --> 00:05:10,112
daily basis, right? People are desperate for someone to

90
00:05:10,152 --> 00:05:13,273
do the work for them, copywriting, proofing, whatever it is. If you put yourself on

91
00:05:13,293 --> 00:05:17,434
those platforms, freelancer.com, guru.com,

92
00:05:18,155 --> 00:05:21,376
put yourself a profile up there and go for gigs. When you get

93
00:05:21,516 --> 00:05:25,820
one, deliver the work and get paid. It's not rocket science. It's

94
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,101
pretty simple stuff. Just model the best profiles you

95
00:05:29,121 --> 00:05:32,502
can find and just go for one gig. Underprice everyone on the platform

96
00:05:32,522 --> 00:05:35,663
until you win a gig and then bang, you've made money so fast it feels illegal. It's

97
00:05:35,723 --> 00:05:38,864
just boom. The hardest part is getting your mindset around the fact you're

98
00:05:38,884 --> 00:05:42,105
going to make money. Awesome. Great. What

99
00:05:42,125 --> 00:05:45,926
would be the steps? Pretty simple. Chat GPT prompt. How

100
00:05:45,966 --> 00:05:49,267
do I create this Canva? How do I create that design? How do I proofread this? Please proofread

101
00:05:49,287 --> 00:05:52,737
this. Do it all. Make sure you got the skill set to do it and

102
00:05:52,757 --> 00:05:56,378
then go in and promote and advertise your offer and

103
00:05:56,398 --> 00:05:59,680
you'll get clients, okay? The second way

104
00:05:59,900 --> 00:06:03,542
that to make money so fast it feels illegal is digital download

105
00:06:03,562 --> 00:06:07,283
hustle. So eBooks, templates, guides. I

106
00:06:07,303 --> 00:06:10,645
had a student of mine actually this week. He said, Lloyd, you wouldn't believe

107
00:06:10,705 --> 00:06:14,126
it. I said, what? His name's Chris. I said, what Chris? He goes, I sold my

108
00:06:14,226 --> 00:06:17,368
first prompt. I'm like, what? He goes, yeah, I sold my

109
00:06:17,448 --> 00:06:21,932
first chat GPT prompt. He sold a prompt. It's

110
00:06:21,952 --> 00:06:25,295
pretty crazy, right? And the other day, actually, too, I sold

111
00:06:25,736 --> 00:06:29,199
an AI course. Got a brand new book coming out, Become Time

112
00:06:29,259 --> 00:06:33,283
Rich. And the other day, I did an email. And

113
00:06:33,303 --> 00:06:36,386
I said, hey, whoever pre-orders the book, a publisher asked me to get

114
00:06:36,406 --> 00:06:39,589
some pre-orders. So I said, all right, I'll get some pre-orders. Whoever pre-orders the book, I'm going to give you

115
00:06:39,609 --> 00:06:42,872
a free AI course, which is worth $1,000, which

116
00:06:42,913 --> 00:06:46,716
it is. It'll save you 10 hours a week. This is worth $1,000. And

117
00:06:46,756 --> 00:06:49,880
so I created the course. I just sat in my room, created the course, did it,

118
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,944
put a title, put on Kajabi and then bang, got it out there. And

119
00:06:54,124 --> 00:06:58,449
as I was going through it, I actually created in the course a template. While

120
00:06:58,509 --> 00:07:01,572
I was recording the course, I actually accidentally created my own

121
00:07:01,632 --> 00:07:04,996
template just doing an example like, please give me the top best prompt

122
00:07:05,016 --> 00:07:08,239
for chat GPT beginners. created a PDF for me,

123
00:07:08,619 --> 00:07:11,840
I 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.

124
00:07:12,260 --> 00:07:15,782
So I created it out of thin air but what you could do for e-books, templates,

125
00:07:15,902 --> 00:07:19,083
guides, etc. is use ChatGPT to craft it

126
00:07:19,123 --> 00:07:22,464
and curate it for you as long as it was going to help someone

127
00:07:22,504 --> 00:07:25,745
solve a problem. So find out who you're doing it for, for what purpose, create this

128
00:07:25,825 --> 00:07:30,038
cool little design thing that ChatGPT will do mostly for you. And

129
00:07:30,098 --> 00:07:33,961
then, once you have it, you can publish it on Gumroad. That's

130
00:07:34,081 --> 00:07:37,283
gumroad.com. It's a cool app on your phone too. You can

131
00:07:37,303 --> 00:07:40,805
just go on there. It hosts your PDF and

132
00:07:40,825 --> 00:07:44,407
you can literally sell it there. It's got a paywall on there and you get your own Gumroad

133
00:07:45,188 --> 00:07:48,329
website, URL. And

134
00:07:48,430 --> 00:07:51,611
anyone that goes and clicks on it can buy your e-book. They can buy your e-book.

135
00:07:52,652 --> 00:07:55,913
Prompt sheet they can buy your whatever it is. You got right

136
00:07:55,994 --> 00:07:59,335
your PDF You can go to Etsy. You can do it on Etsy or pay hip

137
00:07:59,975 --> 00:08:03,056
any of those platforms are fine and You can do it.

138
00:08:03,857 --> 00:08:07,298
I mean, I think I sold my first ebook once

139
00:08:07,358 --> 00:08:10,960
upon a time using gumroad and And it's so fun when you get that first

140
00:08:12,521 --> 00:08:15,983
$7 back then. I made my first $7. I made it so fast it felt illegal.

141
00:08:16,163 --> 00:08:19,325
But then I was like, oh, now I have the actual steps on what to do. So I'm

142
00:08:19,345 --> 00:08:22,987
just trying to give you some simple steps to do here. Now, listen up very closely. You're

143
00:08:23,007 --> 00:08:26,329
going to listen to this episode or watch this episode on YouTube, and

144
00:08:26,369 --> 00:08:29,953
you're going to do nothing. because I'm filling you with dopamine right

145
00:08:29,973 --> 00:08:33,878
now. Not intentionally, it's how you're receiving the information. It's

146
00:08:33,958 --> 00:08:37,402
flooding your brain with a chemical called dopamine. It's

147
00:08:37,422 --> 00:08:40,506
like mental masturbation. It feels good but doesn't get you

148
00:08:40,546 --> 00:08:44,070
anywhere. You want to be able to take what I'm explaining now

149
00:08:44,191 --> 00:08:47,354
and go to gumroad.com even go

150
00:08:47,374 --> 00:08:50,515
to YouTube and type in how to use Gumroad, then figure out

151
00:08:50,575 --> 00:08:53,776
what PDF you wanna create, then go to ChatGPT and create it,

152
00:08:54,336 --> 00:08:57,557
and then design it in Canva, it's ready to go, you wanna save

153
00:08:57,577 --> 00:09:01,078
it as a PDF, then you wanna go to Gumroad and upload it, and then you wanna take your URL link,

154
00:09:01,398 --> 00:09:04,979
and you wanna DM some friends and ask them to take a look at it, or you wanna promote

155
00:09:04,999 --> 00:09:08,100
it on your reels, or get it in front of people's eyeballs, that's what you're gonna

156
00:09:08,140 --> 00:09:11,301
do. So I'm just explaining, this is what you actually have to

157
00:09:11,341 --> 00:09:14,482
do. So when you finish listening to this episode, you gotta go and flip and do the

158
00:09:14,542 --> 00:09:19,485
work for goodness sake. Like go and like sit

159
00:09:19,565 --> 00:09:22,948
there for hours and hours figuring

160
00:09:22,988 --> 00:09:26,532
it out. That's what's stopping most people

161
00:09:26,572 --> 00:09:30,275
from actually making money. They don't sit quietly and just go through it and move

162
00:09:30,295 --> 00:09:33,718
through each painful process of doing this. You're not going to be a pro at Gumroad

163
00:09:33,738 --> 00:09:36,901
straight away. You're not going to know what Pedia, but you got to sit down and

164
00:09:36,961 --> 00:09:40,044
just play. Play with it until it

165
00:09:40,104 --> 00:09:43,407
comes together. It's creation. You're

166
00:09:43,487 --> 00:09:46,910
creating something and it takes some focus. So get off your phone,

167
00:09:47,270 --> 00:09:50,313
put away your Instagram reels except for this one if you came from a

168
00:09:50,353 --> 00:09:53,596
reel, that's great. But now I'm suggesting you put your phone away after

169
00:09:53,616 --> 00:09:56,719
this episode. After you've subscribed to this episode and shared it with

170
00:09:56,759 --> 00:10:00,342
a friend, then put it away and start implementing the

171
00:10:00,382 --> 00:10:03,685
lessons so you can actually make money. All right, the third way to make money so

172
00:10:03,745 --> 00:10:07,638
fast it feels illegal. What are the fastest ways to make money ever? This

173
00:10:07,698 --> 00:10:11,100
is what I put in some of my steps and a lot of my students do this step,

174
00:10:12,060 --> 00:10:15,402
particularly when they're paying off debt, is to go to Facebook Marketplace and

175
00:10:15,522 --> 00:10:18,723
put something on there and sell it. You can actually even buy

176
00:10:18,763 --> 00:10:22,085
something cheap. In fact, you can go to Facebook Marketplace and get

177
00:10:22,245 --> 00:10:25,367
free stuff on there and resell it on Facebook Marketplace. In

178
00:10:25,407 --> 00:10:29,048
fact, you can go around to people's houses once a month on trash collection

179
00:10:29,068 --> 00:10:33,110
day, find stuff in their front yard, probably put it on Facebook Marketplace

180
00:10:33,150 --> 00:10:37,405
and probably sell it. I'm not suggesting that's the greatest idea. What

181
00:10:37,445 --> 00:10:40,646
is in your house now that's worth something that you can put on Facebook Marketplace to

182
00:10:40,666 --> 00:10:44,708
sell? I'm sure there's something for $100, $500, $1,000, whatever. Figure

183
00:10:44,748 --> 00:10:48,089
out what it is. Sometimes, it's clothes. Sometimes, it's furniture. I

184
00:10:48,109 --> 00:10:52,240
remember one time for Christmas, we had to get rid of this big table

185
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:56,163
in our balcony, big glass table. It was worth something, but

186
00:10:56,183 --> 00:10:59,405
we just needed it to go. So I actually put

187
00:10:59,725 --> 00:11:02,827
an ad up saying 100 bucks, come and get it. 100 bucks, but

188
00:11:02,847 --> 00:11:05,989
you got to remove it. And so it was like I was paid profits to

189
00:11:06,049 --> 00:11:09,152
remove something I didn't want to remove myself. But it's a

190
00:11:09,212 --> 00:11:12,434
nice habit to get into. Before you buy something, it's nice

191
00:11:12,454 --> 00:11:15,556
to actually sell something first before you buy the next thing. I

192
00:11:15,596 --> 00:11:18,778
wish they did this with Australian legislation and tax laws, but they don't. They just

193
00:11:18,918 --> 00:11:22,307
add stuff on. But if you can switch it up, you

194
00:11:22,327 --> 00:11:25,370
know, buy something. I even had a student this week reach out to me and say, Lloyd, I

195
00:11:25,811 --> 00:11:29,755
want to go on this trip for my business. I want to go to this event. It's really important. Should

196
00:11:29,795 --> 00:11:32,978
I dip into my savings? I'm like, well, the truth of the matter is

197
00:11:33,018 --> 00:11:36,381
your business needs to fund itself. So make a sale in your business

198
00:11:36,481 --> 00:11:40,025
and get the sale to fund the trip. Okay, but that's another story.

199
00:11:40,665 --> 00:11:43,968
If you're looking at Facebook Marketplace, it's the fastest way by far to make sales

200
00:11:44,028 --> 00:11:47,250
because chucking junk on there and getting people to buy it for five

201
00:11:47,270 --> 00:11:51,794
bucks, you're just going to get used to making money. And part of the money-making

202
00:11:51,954 --> 00:11:55,056
journey is just allowing yourself to play the

203
00:11:55,116 --> 00:11:58,257
game of making money long enough where your brain figures it out and you've then

204
00:11:58,297 --> 00:12:02,519
got files to draw on for the rest of your life of what it feels like to

205
00:12:02,799 --> 00:12:06,941
sell stuff. And I remember when I bought a Harley Davidson, when

206
00:12:06,961 --> 00:12:10,042
I was in Abu Dhabi, in 2009, I got

207
00:12:10,082 --> 00:12:13,624
my very first ever bonus check and my only ever bonus check, I

208
00:12:13,644 --> 00:12:17,265
might add. And I remember I took it and I went to the Harley Davidson store

209
00:12:17,285 --> 00:12:20,628
in Abu Dhabi And I bought a brand new Harley Davidson off

210
00:12:20,668 --> 00:12:24,151
the floor and nights to 1200 took it got it pipes

211
00:12:24,231 --> 00:12:27,454
on it. Vance and Heinz pipes and all

212
00:12:27,474 --> 00:12:30,557
these cool other things. And then because I

213
00:12:30,577 --> 00:12:34,660
bought it with no tax, I actually repatriated it back to Australia. and

214
00:12:34,680 --> 00:12:37,963
then got it converted and then I actually, it was raining

215
00:12:38,023 --> 00:12:41,205
so much, I never used, I never wrote it. So I actually sold it

216
00:12:41,225 --> 00:12:44,828
on Facebook Marketplace. The morning I turned 30, went downstairs,

217
00:12:45,268 --> 00:12:48,430
sold it for $14,500. I actually made money out of it, which is kind

218
00:12:48,450 --> 00:12:52,253
of weird. And I took that money and I invested in stocks. And

219
00:12:52,273 --> 00:12:55,335
the reason I did that is because I could have kept it there and held it for longer, but

220
00:12:55,355 --> 00:12:58,818
I was like, you know, I'm not using it, I'll sell it and I'll invest in assets. And so it

221
00:12:58,838 --> 00:13:02,180
was a fast way of turning something that I wasn't using into money. Okay,

222
00:13:02,601 --> 00:13:05,986
so you can do it for desks, chairs, monitors. You'll be surprised and shocked

223
00:13:06,026 --> 00:13:09,451
as to one person's trash is another person's treasure.

224
00:13:10,012 --> 00:13:13,297
So Facebook Marketplace is a really fast way to make

225
00:13:13,477 --> 00:13:16,682
fast money. If you really want to get clever, go

226
00:13:16,702 --> 00:13:20,026
to Timu. Buy something on there for cheap and resell

227
00:13:20,046 --> 00:13:23,850
it on Facebook Marketplace for like 300% more. Not joking. Even

228
00:13:23,870 --> 00:13:27,033
go to your markets. Don't even go to your markets. It's a waste of time. Just go on

229
00:13:27,054 --> 00:13:30,297
Facebook Marketplace. It's the biggest market in the world. You can

230
00:13:30,317 --> 00:13:34,401
buy things off Timo everyday and resell them. It's called product arbitrage. And

231
00:13:34,441 --> 00:13:37,770
if I was like, That's

232
00:13:37,790 --> 00:13:43,095
what I'd be doing with my time. When I was 10, I started my first car washing business. We

233
00:13:43,115 --> 00:13:47,239
had lived in a complex here on the Gold Coast. I might have been 10 or

234
00:13:47,279 --> 00:13:50,422
11. I would go around the complex and hand out flyers into their mailboxes to say, I'll

235
00:13:50,462 --> 00:13:53,725
wash your car for $5. So I'd start trying to wash cars

236
00:13:53,745 --> 00:13:57,248
for five bucks, but that's before the interweb and all these wonderful inventions.

237
00:13:57,668 --> 00:14:00,991
But now I would go and I would find things on Timu and I'd buy them.

238
00:14:01,111 --> 00:14:04,514
I would even buy them. I would find something on Timu for a price.

239
00:14:04,754 --> 00:14:08,677
Here's what I would do. This is going to be cool. I would go to TikTok. I

240
00:14:08,717 --> 00:14:12,623
would find what's selling on TikTok shop. Like

241
00:14:12,984 --> 00:14:17,647
it could be a plastic pellet gun. It could be plastic

242
00:14:17,708 --> 00:14:21,511
nunchuck. All sorts of cool stuff that young boys and girls

243
00:14:21,531 --> 00:14:25,094
want to play with toys, whatever. I'd find something that was really

244
00:14:25,154 --> 00:14:28,797
trendy on TikTok. I'd go to Timu. I

245
00:14:28,837 --> 00:14:32,080
would just take it. I would save the photo to

246
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,426
my phone. or I'd find a

247
00:14:35,506 --> 00:14:39,368
photo of it that someone had taken that's a real photo on Google Images.

248
00:14:39,929 --> 00:14:43,111
I would go to Facebook Marketplace. I would list it on there for

249
00:14:43,171 --> 00:14:47,094
sale. I would wait until someone gave me hits to buy it off me and

250
00:14:47,114 --> 00:14:50,476
then negotiate and say, yeah, it's pretty well soon

251
00:14:50,516 --> 00:14:54,489
ready. And then I would go back to TeamView and then I'd buy it. So

252
00:14:54,509 --> 00:14:58,111
I'm proving the business model before I'm actually buying the product. And

253
00:14:58,171 --> 00:15:01,412
if I was like 10, I'd be doing that. And I'd love to be able to teach my nephew how

254
00:15:01,432 --> 00:15:05,133
to do this but I don't know if he has the tension of focus. I mean, young

255
00:15:05,153 --> 00:15:08,675
people don't always want to make money or they don't. No, it's not they don't want to make money. They

256
00:15:08,715 --> 00:15:11,916
want to make money but they don't want to do the work. It takes

257
00:15:12,016 --> 00:15:15,399
work to go to TikTok. It takes work to put the photo on Facebook

258
00:15:15,419 --> 00:15:18,681
Marketplace. I did this with a laptop. I went to Alibaba, AliExpress. I

259
00:15:18,721 --> 00:15:21,803
found this laptop, this Lenovo laptop. I took an image of it and

260
00:15:21,824 --> 00:15:25,146
put it to Facebook Marketplace and got some hits and then reordered it off there

261
00:15:25,286 --> 00:15:28,588
and then to resell it. So you can do that, product arbitrage. That's

262
00:15:28,608 --> 00:15:31,811
what I'd do. All right, we're halfway there. We've got seven ways

263
00:15:31,831 --> 00:15:35,793
to make money so fast it feels illegal. We're up to number four. Just to caveat, these

264
00:15:35,973 --> 00:15:39,135
aren't like super scalable ways to make like millions. I'm just

265
00:15:39,175 --> 00:15:42,798
trying to help you make some money so fast that it feels illegal. And if

266
00:15:42,818 --> 00:15:45,980
you can't do these little steps and make these little amounts of money, you're not going

267
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,281
to scale it up. Just saying. And the cons to

268
00:15:49,301 --> 00:15:52,422
this are that it's gonna take time, okay? But I

269
00:15:52,462 --> 00:15:55,962
don't see any downside to it. So let's continue on. Just quickly, if

270
00:15:55,982 --> 00:15:59,363
you're ready to take control of your finances but feel stuck on where to start,

271
00:15:59,763 --> 00:16:03,484
I have a solution. My book, Money Bias Happiness, simplifies

272
00:16:03,524 --> 00:16:07,445
investing and wealth building with practical steps to help you achieve financial

273
00:16:07,525 --> 00:16:10,705
peace. Get your copy via the link in the show notes and let's get your

274
00:16:10,765 --> 00:16:14,066
money working for you. Now back to the episode. Way number four,

275
00:16:14,546 --> 00:16:17,908
apps. I was telling my wife yesterday, oh

276
00:16:17,928 --> 00:16:21,291
my god, if Uber Eats was around when I was younger, I'd have jumped on my pushbike and

277
00:16:21,332 --> 00:16:24,815
delivered food for sure to make money. And

278
00:16:25,936 --> 00:16:29,660
you know, you might get a free chip here and there. But DoorDash,

279
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,724
Uber Eats, I mean... Poor

280
00:16:33,784 --> 00:16:37,306
shake my wife has made thousands of dollars on poor shake

281
00:16:37,866 --> 00:16:41,428
babysitting dogs in our house Like we've babysat

282
00:16:41,468 --> 00:16:45,149
dogs for two weeks at a time over Christmas and my wife got paid thousands

283
00:16:45,189 --> 00:16:48,671
of dollars she turned our little house into an Airbnb

284
00:16:48,691 --> 00:16:52,473
for dogs and I It was like a farm. No,

285
00:16:52,513 --> 00:16:56,397
but you can take those apps and turn them into money. I mean, they're

286
00:16:56,457 --> 00:16:59,800
right there. It's not sexy, but it's liquid cash and it's fast because what's

287
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,403
cool about that is this. If you use the PawShake app or the Madpaws app,

288
00:17:03,723 --> 00:17:06,866
you put a profile in there, you start getting hits. One of my students did this. I said, look, why

289
00:17:06,886 --> 00:17:10,189
don't you do this with the kids? And you can make money fast, because everyone

290
00:17:10,209 --> 00:17:13,593
wants to make money fast. Like, Lloyd, how do I make money fast? I'm like, well, put

291
00:17:13,613 --> 00:17:16,636
a profile on PawShake, get some inquiries, and then look after a

292
00:17:16,676 --> 00:17:19,799
dog. He did it. His kids made $30 that night. And like, oh my

293
00:17:19,819 --> 00:17:22,943
god, I just made $30 so fast. Never done this in my whole life. And now he does

294
00:17:22,963 --> 00:17:26,306
it with his kids, and they make $600 a month. That's $7,000 a year.

295
00:17:26,787 --> 00:17:30,251
Put that in an index fund and scale it. Don't

296
00:17:30,291 --> 00:17:33,493
turn your nose up at small money because it can turn into big money if you know what to do with it. But

297
00:17:33,533 --> 00:17:37,035
you can do this with your kids. If you can't put a profile on PawShake or

298
00:17:37,095 --> 00:17:40,657
MadPaws and look after a little baby dog for a night, you

299
00:17:40,757 --> 00:17:43,879
are not going to make money ever. Just give up

300
00:17:43,939 --> 00:17:47,682
now. I'm telling you. Yep, give up. It ain't going to happen for you. Sorry. But

301
00:17:47,742 --> 00:17:51,104
if you're challenged by that and that triggers you, good. Sit down, do

302
00:17:51,144 --> 00:17:54,526
the profile, bloody get on with it. Like it's going to take action,

303
00:17:55,006 --> 00:17:58,661
right? It's not sexy. but it works. Number five of

304
00:17:58,942 --> 00:18:02,191
how to make money so fast it feels illegal. This one's really

305
00:18:02,211 --> 00:18:05,396
cool. because you already have what it takes to

306
00:18:05,416 --> 00:18:08,578
do this one. It's sell the skill you already have. Whether it's

307
00:18:08,678 --> 00:18:11,740
fitness, finance, dog training, baking, whatever. I

308
00:18:11,780 --> 00:18:15,203
mean, the other day I learned how to bake a banana bread, literally.

309
00:18:15,643 --> 00:18:18,865
I went to AI, I put in how to bake a banana bread. I

310
00:18:18,885 --> 00:18:22,368
did it, didn't taste that good first go, but I'm getting good at it now. I've got 10 batches

311
00:18:22,408 --> 00:18:25,510
under my belt. And I'm fairly certain if I was to go and create and

312
00:18:25,630 --> 00:18:29,392
bake one this week, I'm certain I could sell slices

313
00:18:29,432 --> 00:18:32,975
of it. I could go down to the markets on a Wednesday and I would

314
00:18:32,995 --> 00:18:36,777
just like bake lots of them and sell each slice for $5. And

315
00:18:36,817 --> 00:18:40,260
that's a way to actually turn your skill set into income. Now,

316
00:18:40,300 --> 00:18:43,462
I haven't done that but I could. Dog Training, I've got a student of

317
00:18:43,482 --> 00:18:47,424
mine, she trains dogs and as she likes to say, she trains humans because

318
00:18:47,444 --> 00:18:50,667
it's not the dog's fault, it's the human's fault. So the

319
00:18:50,707 --> 00:18:53,849
humans don't know they're being trained but she trains dogs. And she's turned her

320
00:18:53,909 --> 00:18:57,531
skill into a wonderful little business. She consults, she does group training, she's

321
00:18:57,571 --> 00:19:01,094
got a little e-book, she's really good. It's

322
00:19:01,334 --> 00:19:05,356
called Busy Pause. Go check it out. It's on Google. She turned

323
00:19:05,396 --> 00:19:08,639
her skill into an income. It doesn't really matter

324
00:19:08,699 --> 00:19:12,201
what it is. You can turn it into an income. Now, some of you are in

325
00:19:12,481 --> 00:19:16,204
white-collar jobs. For example, you're in a particular employment

326
00:19:16,264 --> 00:19:19,526
role with a company and you may not feel like you're

327
00:19:19,546 --> 00:19:23,008
a baker or you're a fitness pro or you're a doctor. I get it. But

328
00:19:23,188 --> 00:19:26,491
what is it you do do for your employer? Because if you can't figure

329
00:19:26,531 --> 00:19:30,393
that out, I'm pretty sure AI is going to take your job in the next 15 minutes. But

330
00:19:30,513 --> 00:19:34,115
if you can figure it out, what problem do you solve for the organization

331
00:19:34,235 --> 00:19:37,376
or someone else outside the organization that they're actually paying you for? And

332
00:19:37,436 --> 00:19:41,458
once you figure that out, guess where you can find more clients? Cha-ching, LinkedIn.

333
00:19:41,998 --> 00:19:45,319
Go to LinkedIn, put a profile on there, this is what you do for people, this is how you help, and

334
00:19:45,339 --> 00:19:49,461
then start DMing people. You can get the Platinum, what's it called? Platinum Premium LinkedIn.

335
00:19:49,601 --> 00:19:52,882
It allows you to do tons of DM and outreach. And all you need to do

336
00:19:53,143 --> 00:19:57,390
is go and find your ideal client on there, right? So for example, If

337
00:19:57,450 --> 00:20:01,011
you were someone who, I don't know,

338
00:20:01,051 --> 00:20:04,753
was an HR specialist, you might decide

339
00:20:04,773 --> 00:20:07,994
that you want to be a hiring specialist for particular companies. So you can be

340
00:20:08,034 --> 00:20:11,395
a freelance hirer. So what you want to do is you want to go and talk to other HR

341
00:20:11,735 --> 00:20:14,856
people in companies and say, look, if I could find a place or a person for you, would

342
00:20:14,876 --> 00:20:17,997
you pay me? Like there's just ways to take your, that's probably a really bad

343
00:20:18,037 --> 00:20:21,178
example, but there's so many different ways to take what you

344
00:20:21,198 --> 00:20:24,659
already know and just start DMing people

345
00:20:24,719 --> 00:20:28,369
on LinkedIn to tell them you can do that for them. It's not that difficult.

346
00:20:28,870 --> 00:20:32,533
I did this once when I was in Abu Dhabi. I was doing financial modeling

347
00:20:32,913 --> 00:20:36,456
for the developments in Abu Dhabi and for real estate developments.

348
00:20:37,017 --> 00:20:40,340
And there was a company, a consulting company that

349
00:20:40,360 --> 00:20:44,383
was in Dubai that needed someone to do the financial models for them for a particular project.

350
00:20:44,744 --> 00:20:47,906
So 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

351
00:20:47,926 --> 00:20:52,310
worries. And I did the financial modeling, gave them the report and $1,000. That

352
00:20:52,350 --> 00:20:55,535
wasn't even LinkedIn. I wasn't even using LinkedIn. I was just using my network. But you

353
00:20:55,555 --> 00:20:58,599
can without a doubt make money. I was even the other day, I was at

354
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:03,807
the Anzac Day dawn service and I was literally

355
00:21:03,887 --> 00:21:08,235
sitting there with my dad. He's having a few beers and I'm drinking soda waters. all

356
00:21:08,275 --> 00:21:11,639
day, all morning sitting there. And I started chatting with this lady. She's in real estate. And

357
00:21:11,699 --> 00:21:14,962
I said, oh, are you using social media to market your real estate?

358
00:21:14,982 --> 00:21:18,385
She goes, ah, I kind of am. I'm like, what's your social media handle?

359
00:21:18,685 --> 00:21:21,888
I pulled up her Facebook and Instagram. I'm like, oh, yeah, have you thought about doing this,

360
00:21:21,908 --> 00:21:25,051
this, or this, or this? She goes, that would be a really good idea. I'm like, yeah, I would do this, and I'd

361
00:21:25,071 --> 00:21:28,375
do this, and here's what I would do, and I'd create a group, and I'd do this. She goes, oh, my god.

362
00:21:29,568 --> 00:21:32,710
Can you help me?" I was like, what do you mean? She goes, can I pay you? I'm like,

363
00:21:33,011 --> 00:21:36,113
nah, I'm just trying to help you

364
00:21:36,153 --> 00:21:39,395
now here. She said, Lloyd, I really want you to help me. If I DM you,

365
00:21:39,435 --> 00:21:42,938
can you help me? I'm like, I can maybe send you some stuff, but it's not my business,

366
00:21:43,058 --> 00:21:46,220
like I'm not doing. But I was just trying to help her and she was

367
00:21:46,260 --> 00:21:50,447
ready to part. I could have made money there and then. You

368
00:21:50,507 --> 00:21:53,628
already probably have the skill set you need. And if you don't

369
00:21:53,648 --> 00:21:57,269
have it, go find on YouTube and learn it. Next, number

370
00:21:57,309 --> 00:22:01,290
six, how to make money so fast it feels illegal. This

371
00:22:01,350 --> 00:22:06,132
is one of my all time favorites. I've made over $2 million

372
00:22:06,172 --> 00:22:09,293
in profits with my wife doing this since we started in

373
00:22:09,753 --> 00:22:13,394
2014. What I love about it the most is it's a plug and play business model. You can literally enroll

374
00:22:13,414 --> 00:22:16,895
within 15 minutes. And then the following week, you can make money. And

375
00:22:16,935 --> 00:22:20,678
it doesn't just not made once, it's made over and over and over again. It's called network marketing

376
00:22:20,698 --> 00:22:23,920
where you're marketing a current product or service from a company that developed it, not you,

377
00:22:24,381 --> 00:22:27,703
and you're marketing to your network. It means people, your acquaintances, not always

378
00:22:27,723 --> 00:22:30,925
your best friends and your family, just relax, calm down. They're usually

379
00:22:30,945 --> 00:22:34,288
not the best customers anyway. They're a pain in the ass. So you're better off just

380
00:22:34,488 --> 00:22:37,655
to sell to acquaintances. So what you could do is In fact,

381
00:22:38,617 --> 00:22:41,921
I've been teaching people how to do this forever. I'm speaking and keynoting

382
00:22:41,961 --> 00:22:45,485
at an event soon with 300 people to teach them how to do this. I've spoken in

383
00:22:46,326 --> 00:22:49,643
front of 7,000 Thousands of people all

384
00:22:49,683 --> 00:22:53,245
over the world teach them how to do this. Once you've got the right product

385
00:22:53,325 --> 00:22:56,607
and you've used it yourself and got a result, then you simply have to go and tell

386
00:22:56,647 --> 00:22:59,788
the story to people and they'll come to you and you will attract them to

387
00:22:59,828 --> 00:23:03,090
you and then you send them to the product and they buy it and you get paid. It's not that

388
00:23:03,150 --> 00:23:06,231
complex. But what I would do is order the product, get the

389
00:23:06,251 --> 00:23:10,074
result, share some story and testimony to my social media. And

390
00:23:10,114 --> 00:23:13,376
when people are leaning in, I personally would run a webinar and

391
00:23:13,476 --> 00:23:16,718
do it all at once, but you can also have a little home party at your house if you like having

392
00:23:16,758 --> 00:23:20,240
events at your house, invite your friends over, and you could actually share your story

393
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,482
there. But your personal testimony of a product will get

394
00:23:23,522 --> 00:23:26,764
people to lean in. And once they buy the product, the company will pay you

395
00:23:26,864 --> 00:23:30,195
money. I've had so many students come

396
00:23:30,255 --> 00:23:33,316
in and do, like, we have a side hustle school, we teach them how to do it, and

397
00:23:33,336 --> 00:23:36,696
they make money, like, within the first 30 days, they're making hundreds

398
00:23:36,716 --> 00:23:39,897
and hundreds of dollars, okay? Some even make thousands. So it

399
00:23:39,997 --> 00:23:43,318
is, I've known people who have made a million dollars

400
00:23:43,358 --> 00:23:46,798
from start to finish with this in 18 months. So can you make fast money?

401
00:23:46,918 --> 00:23:50,039
Yes. Is it always probable? Unlikely, because most people that are

402
00:23:50,059 --> 00:23:53,239
coming into it don't have the skills yet to get

403
00:23:53,339 --> 00:23:57,109
that big money straight away. But later on, when you develop skills, you

404
00:23:57,129 --> 00:24:00,636
get the bills. All right, number seven. Number

405
00:24:00,656 --> 00:24:04,878
seven, fastest way, make money so fast it feels illegal. Take

406
00:24:05,438 --> 00:24:08,859
this, you're gonna hate this one, take more shifts. That doesn't feel

407
00:24:08,899 --> 00:24:12,100
illegal, it feels very legal. But we need to

408
00:24:12,180 --> 00:24:15,902
explain this, right? Take overtime, take a second job. It's a psychology shift

409
00:24:15,942 --> 00:24:19,163
because you're like, well, this is like trading time for money. It is, but

410
00:24:19,303 --> 00:24:22,504
this is about making fast money. And sometimes the fastest way to make money is where you're

411
00:24:22,524 --> 00:24:25,785
already standing. So if you can just do overtime and

412
00:24:25,845 --> 00:24:29,127
work on a public holiday, for $68 an hour, you're

413
00:24:29,147 --> 00:24:32,349
making twice as much for the same effort. So you're actually making twice as much for the same

414
00:24:32,369 --> 00:24:35,670
effort, which should feel illegal. So just be a bit smarter with how you're taking

415
00:24:35,690 --> 00:24:39,412
your shifts when you're working, and you can make money even faster.

416
00:24:39,772 --> 00:24:42,974
All right, so that's it. Fast money isn't about luck, it's

417
00:24:42,994 --> 00:24:46,356
about velocity, it's about action taking, right? You've got something

418
00:24:46,416 --> 00:24:50,318
valuable already, your time, your energy, your ability, Google, Chachapati, like,

419
00:24:50,598 --> 00:24:53,940
ah! The only reason it feels illegal is because you're doing it a different way.

420
00:24:54,621 --> 00:24:57,864
So it's just getting your mindset used to it. But oh my God,

421
00:24:57,884 --> 00:25:01,627
you've never, ever, making money has never been so simple because

422

423
00:25:05,186 --> 00:25:08,348
it is, but again, you're going to listen to this and not do anything because you think that it's going

424
00:25:08,368 --> 00:25:11,911
to 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
