Every Friday, I do something slightly different in What Really Makes Money.

Rather than talk about business trends, success strategies or the psychology of making money…

I focus on ONE specific extra income opportunity.

Something you could potentially investigate, test and turn into a small home business or useful second income.

And because we’re now halfway through the year, I thought this would be a good moment to look back at everything I’ve covered during 2026 so far.

So I’ve gone through all those Friday editions…

Picked out some of the strongest and most interesting opportunities…

And brought them together in one bumper special report:

A Collection Of The Best Extra Income Opportunities Of 2026… So Far!

You can read the entire report online here:

It contains more than 100 pages of ideas, examples, potential niches and practical steps.

You’ll discover…

• How to get paid to find “free money” — by tracking down grants, funding, awards and competitions that most people never hear about… then turning that publicly available information into a potentially profitable service.
• Why companies are actively looking for people in their 50s, 60s and beyond to create simple product videos
• The new Print on Demand opportunity that isn’t based on tired slogans and generic T-shirts – and how AI is helping people create personalised gifts, pet portraits, family prints, children’s books and other higher-value products
• How “eBook stacking” could turn a collection of short, interlinked titles into several different income streams
• How tiny publications about mushrooms, sea glass, canal boats and other wonderfully specific subjects can sometimes be easier to sell than products aimed at huge, overcrowded markets.
• Thirty-three everyday jobs people in your local area will pay to have done — plus the “lazier” way to turn them into a service business without necessarily doing all the physical work yourself
• How old books, illustrations, maps, photographs and cartoons can be legally repurposed into themed journals, planners, guides and other products people will pay for.

And, of course…

There is a substantial section on SUBSTACK.

I make no attempt to disguise the fact that Substack is my favourite opportunity of 2026 so far.

(If you are interested in a fast track way to take advantage of this incredible platform, check out my NEW IkigAI Automated Income System.)

Substack has become a thriving, all-in-one publishing platform where you can build an audience around your knowledge, interests, experiences or personality…

Deliver your content as both a website and email newsletter…

And potentially earn through paid subscriptions, affiliate recommendations and your own products.

You don’t need millions of followers.

You don’t need to be a famous author.

And, with the help of AI, you don’t even need to consider yourself a particularly accomplished writer.

You need a worthwhile subject…

A clearly defined group of readers…

And useful, interesting content they will look forward to receiving.

The report includes examples of successful newsletters covering everything from salad and gardening to camper vans, local news, retirement, creativity and narrowboat living.

Some of the niches will surprise you.

Of course Substack won’t suit everybody (although I struggle to think why!).

That’s why I’ve included plenty of completely different opportunities in this Special Report – online and offline, practical and creative, immediate and longer term.

I’m certainly not suggesting you try all of them.

In fact, please don’t!

Read through the collection, see which ideas catch your attention, and then investigate the one or two that seem to fit your circumstances, abilities and interests.
