 Is it wrong? Yeah. Look at this. Look at all of this. All of this is because of one thing that we did. And that's what we want to talk about. This is a Bali mansion. It is what it is. It's a Bali mansion. Get over it if you don't like that when we live in a Bali mansion. Get over it. Sorry. But it's all paid for and it's all because of publishing. And we want to talk about why, like give you the reasons and truly break it down and explain to you why publishing is better than drop shipping, better than FBA, all these other ones that you always hear about. Better than this, better than that and why it really is the best way to get started if you want to live somewhere like this and do shit like that. Can we just spread a little bit of awareness about how incredible publishing is as an online business? Like we really want to articulate it and give you the reasons. Let's get a little emotional here. Like it changed our fucking life. Straight up. Straight up. Zero to Bali mansion in 20 months. That's our publishing story. That's fucking ridiculous. Yeah. So, okay. Let's fucking talk about it. Come on. Come on. Wait. Come on. Sit up over here. Yeah. Okay. Ah. Oh, Jesus. All right. All right. Let's actually get into why the fuck publishing. Man, I'm telling you publishing is the best. No one just knows it, but let's explain exactly why. Just because like not everyone in the world is or everyone on the internet is doing publishing does not mean like, oh, no, that's not the best one. If anything that helps us because there's not many people doing it. No one's fucking doing audiobooks, which makes why it makes it so fucking stupid easy to make shitloads of money. Let's just get straight into the first point. Like, we just have a few points that we thought of the main ones that separates it from all the others. There's one that's like 90% of it. Yeah. What did you say? No, but yeah. You know what I mean. I know what you mean, right? It's so literally, it's literally the most passive business you will ever find in the world. We talk about it. It was a good still point where it can't get more passive. You fucking sleep for a whole year. Well, we were talking to our, you as an example. Well, we're talking to our friend about like, publishing is the most passive thing, right? We're not just biased, right? Yeah. And he's like, yeah, there's that and there's real estate. That's the two that are literally like 100, 100, 100% passive. Yeah. So, so let's use you as an example, right? The last time you published the book and audio book on my personal account was, let's just because servant say April. Right. It was in April and I've just done this in a few videos. I'm just going to run through. I'm going to put the whole number on the screen. If you want to see like actual screenshots, I'll prove I don't really give a fuck. But this is going to be the month by month from 2018. Okay. 2018. And then April hadn't touched a sense. January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October. Okay. Since April, that's been completely fucking passive. Haven't touched it. Haven't done shit with it. Right. You've got that money, the dollars that you saw on the screen there. That's what's paying for this place. Like, oh, that's the profit. Okay. That's the fucking profit because nothing goes into it. I don't do shit. I just get the direct deposit at the end of the month. Like that's what I live off of. Well, look, I don't live off of the YouTube money, the course money. I live off of that. And you can sit there and think like, okay, passive income cool, but why passive income? Why passive income? Because the point is not to just fucking make money. No, that's not the point. Right. The point is be able to have the money and be able to do what the fuck you want at the same time. So you could have online businesses. You could run a drop shipping store. Speaking from experience, you ran a drop shipping store. And it was the most... You didn't make a lot of money, but even if you had like... Yeah, even if I was making $50,000 a month in profit from that drop shipping store. Dude, I was fucking answering emails all the time, talking on the phone all the time, doing random shit. Right? It felt... I mean, I felt like I was working a nine to five job. That's what I felt. I was doing it from home, which fucking, okay, that's sick. I was working all the fucking time and it was so not passive. For an online business that gets like promoted as a passive way to make money online. You can do these other online businesses. You could be a freelancer, like you're a freelancer. Yes, it's better than having a job, but you still don't have freedom to do what you want. You need to work to get the money and you need money to live. So like you have to work or else you're gonna go broke. But look, yeah, the money is not the important thing to me. It's the freedom that you have with that money. Yeah. So because of that, we're able to fucking travel like wherever we want, whatever we want. It's November 2018. We've been to 10 countries this year because of fucking this shit. A fucking, we've been all over the place. Hawaii, Thailand and Bali right now. Italy, Mexico, Egypt, all of these dope ass places. Anyway, that's just the first point. The passiveness is like none other. If you disagree, if you think there's something that's as passive as publishing, put it in the comments down below. And I bet we'll get zero comments of people saying, here's something just as passive if not more passive. I want to talk about this. If you agree, there's the real estate thing. If you agree or disagree, especially if you disagree, let us know. Because I'm trying to, if there's something better, fuck. Let me fucking do that. Yeah, exactly. There's, we're doing this because this is the fucking best thing that we know of. And yeah, there's the real estate, but who do you have 100 grand to put down on a fucking home? The second point is that anyone can get started. Anyone. If you have internet, you can get started. That's all you need. So it's best if you have money to invest in writers and cover designers, right? But you don't need it. The very first book that I ever published was something I wrote myself. Same. Same. Let me put it out on the screen. I've never shared before. Had to be a 4.0 GPA student in college because I actually was that we both were because we worked hard. Not because we're special. We're not special. We're not different from you. We're not any different. We just fucking took action. Like no, no shit. We took action and actually like believed in the process and kept on going. Even when shit got hard. And here's my first book ever. Wrote it myself. What a CrossFit book. 50 Top 50 Best CrossFit Workouts. Yeah. It made me $850 in the first month. I'll be honest. I fucking hit the nail on the head with that one. That one was a lot of money. So another video we're going to make is like how to make your first dollar online or how to make your first dollar publishing. How to properly like actually get started because some people need that. The first dollar is the hardest and then you hear all of the excuses. But we're going to make a video explaining why you don't have any excuses. And if you think it was the money like you don't need any money or you're going to write it yourself. Find something that you like to write about and just write like a 5000 word book yourself. Get a five bucks to make a cover made. Put it up and you'll make your first dollar and that'll prove to you like oh shit. Maybe there is something to what they're saying about this shit. We have our friend Suraj. Broke Indian turned Indian Prince. He was making $150 a month at his job in India. In India literally saved up two months of salary to get his first book written. I'll say the chances are that you are living in a place where you can make much more than $150 a month. You have it easier than him for sure. And now he's doing over $10,000 a month. He's rich as fuck in India. Rich as fuck. I mean he's making as much as I thought he was a terrorist. He's that rich now in India. I mean he's making as much as like the corporate massive look. Look it's blood. Ew, that's gross. He wiped it off. He's making as much as like the high level CEOs in India. $10,000 a month. So he's been fucking doing this in one year. This is real. Can you hear the sound? This is real. This is real. Anyway, let's move on. I get very passionate about this stuff because man I hate seeing people that are skeptical. And because of your skeptical, it leads to not taking action on something. And it's so fucking sad. All you need is like a lot of testosterone. And that's it. That'll help. But you don't need it. But my point is like testosterone. You're a guy like let's do this. You just need willingness. Willingness. That's pretty good work. So that's two points so far. There's a few more points. That's separate publishing from all the other online businesses. Like why specifically publishing is such an easy way to actually make the money. Yes, it's passive. Yes, anyone can do it. But it's like actually successful and work. Like one of the reasons why it works is because of Amazon. If you've ever had an e-com store and you've tried like getting traffic. It's really hard. It's hard and it's expensive. When I had my drop to make store, all I was doing I was just like chasing myself to make back the money I was spending on ads. By running ads. But when you have a business on Amazon, it's completely different. Amazon has the most traffic on planet Earth of any website. And you get to have access to their traffic for free. All of it. Their entire platform. All their customers. All their traffic for free. You could put something up. You just put it up. You put it up. You publish it. And you make sales because there's people seeing it. If the cover looks good. The title looks good. People will buy it. And then you also have the option to run Amazon ads if you want. That takes you to a whole other level. That takes you to a whole other level. You don't need to pay a single cent in advertising to make money publishing. You just put it up. And people are there. People will see it because Amazon has that power. That was point number three. Let's move on to point number four. There's a big one. This is the one that people don't realize. Like you only know once you've been in the game. You've made different businesses. And it's the fact that you don't have to deal with customers. Oh my God. You don't deal with customers. And wow. There's not many businesses like that. Well that's because you're selling shit to people. And people are going to reply. Like email you. Like with the course. You would think you don't have to. You would not think you don't have to hear from people after they give you a thousand dollars. But the email you refunds this and that. I mean that's the biggest lesson I learned with dropshipping. I literally decided after I went to the whole experience. I do not want to have another business where I have to deal with people. Now that's not possible because if I want to make a lot of money. We'll eventually have to. But for a dropshipping store. Oh my God. It's the biggest pain in the ass. But again that's leveraging Amazon. Because Amazon takes care of customer service for you. Fucking next level of shit guys. It just has every component of what you want. Is there more to talk about? Not really. Dude. Dude. What? You have blue shit all over your nose now. I can't see it. Keep it rolling. Alright. Are those the points? I mean yeah. I don't want to fucking over complicate it. It's the most passive shit in the world. That we could bring anyone to get started. And you don't need any skills. You don't need to be a writer. Right? Yeah. Yep. Oh dude we talked about that one. That anyone can do it? Not really. That's the final point. Anyone can do it right now. You can start right after this video is over. We're going to make another video dedicated to this. Just write on a topic, write a book about a topic you're passionate about. If you're passionate about basketball, write like a basketball training or basketball dribbling guide. You put it up with a nice cover. Have it up there for a week. You will make a sale and make your first dollar. I really wish I could tell more about Suridge's business but I can't because we got a whole video on it. Yeah but the specifics. Then you'll kind of understand that you can honestly make a publishing business and brand around anything. But he just made a super random thing, made books about it and makes a little money. Okay, you know what? Let's wrap this video up. So dudes, dudes, dudes. Magic emoji of the day is an eight ball. Is there an emoji for that? I feel like we didn't wrap it up. We didn't wrap it up. No we told everything. This is why publishing is the greatest. Okay. And if you disagree, I want to talk about it. Yeah. If there's something better, I really want to talk about it. I don't want to get into that. I really hope we get comments of people saying why no, publishing is not the best and this is even better. And then let's talk about it. Yeah I mean if you're watching this and now you want to get into it, we got a free mini course about it. Just get started on that. I don't want to apply anything else besides that. You can also make a shitload of money. I guess another thing. This is not pennies. People making dumb money. And you call yourself a published author. Yeah. Oh is that as well. I'm actually an Amazon best-selling author from my CrossFit book that I showed you. Technically you are. Technically I am. Well technically I just am. I'm a best-selling Amazon author. Let's show the place. Like this is all because I'm publishing. Show Oli. Oli. Oli. Oli. Oli is a publisher as well. Hello Oli. Hey you're famous now. Alright that's about the video. See you in the next video. Drop those emojis.
