Creating your own product and then selling them through the internet. You can then automate all the processes and reap large profits. People think that this is beyond them. They think they need manufacturing plant. Do you know that Heinz does not own any plant or factories? What they own are the intellectual properties and outsource every part of the operation they can.

We all know far more than we realise. Do you have a hobby, skill or some other special interest that people would like to learn about? You could then produce your own informational products. You could choose any combination of these or all of these:

CD’s, DVD’s, Book, eBooks, digital products including videos, pdf’s, audio, phone app’s.

If you have built your business and it conforms to our criteria set out under the “Business” tab you move it up a notch by attracting investors to invest in you. This would then allow you to release further funds so that you can continue to build your asset base.

I have a friend who has used his considerable business acumen and surplus profits from one of his business to build up a van leasing business on long term contacts. The leases he holds are assets and these assets produce a monthly income for him.

When you invest in stocks and shares you buy a shares in that company at their current value. Say you buy let’s say £1,000 of shares you will have to pay £1,000 plus commissions to buy those share. However when you trade on the stock market through a trading account you can leverage your money. The beauty of this is that it does not matter whether the market is going up or down the opportunity exists to make money.

Now a word of caution here.

It is estimated that most people lose money stock market trading. The reason they do that is because they do not risk manage their trades. I have made losses on individual trades, which is inevitable, but when you manage your risk and educate yourself you will find that you can make the sort of monthly increases in capital that most people hope to make out of their share portfolio in a year.

Again you money can be leverage here. This works on the principle that currency is always reacting to news from around the world. That increases/decreases confidence in various currencies. These tiny movements in currencies are called pips and you can buy and sell on these small movements. Again these need proper risk management and you do need to get educated on how to trade currencies.
