TRADE WAR GOLD RUSH: 3 Ways to Profit While Others Panic

Turn Economic Chaos into Your Next Income Stream

Hey there Anywhere Income Reader,

It's been a pretty crazy, pretty mental last week or so.

But chaos = opportunity and real opportunities are out there for those willing to look beyond the headlines.

Let’s take a look at them right now:

OPPORTUNITY #1: Tariff Arbitrage Made Simple

While everyone panics about Trump's China tariffs, here's how to profit without leaving your couch.

Forget setting up factories in Vietnam - here's how regular folks can cash in:

  1. Look for Chinese products on AliExpress that face high US tariffs (electronics, textiles, kitchen gadgets)

  2. Set up a simple website or Amazon FBA store targeting US customers

  3. Position yourself as a "non-Chinese alternative" - even though you're sourcing from the same places

  4. Price your products 30-50% higher than pre-tariff prices but still 40-60% lower than what Americans now pay with the 145% tariff

American importers and consumers are desperately seeking alternatives to their suddenly expensive Chinese supply chains. You don't need to be a multinational - you just need to be the bridge that helps them avoid those tariffs.

Hot categories right now: home electronics, kitchen gadgets, phone accessories, and craft supplies. US retailers can't get these items at reasonable prices anymore, but you can ship directly to their customers through dropshipping or FBA, pocketing the difference.

OPPORTUNITY #2: Bitcoin's Trade War Advantage

Trade wars weaken fiat currencies. Bitcoin offers an alternative.

Why I'm bullish on BTC right now: 14-year track record, now embedded in the financial system. Major banks like Standard Chartered are currently bullish. Fiat currencies typically weaken during trade wars, while Bitcoin's finite supply contrasts with ongoing money printing.

What I'm doing: I'm taking my additional revenue streams (which I teach in this newsletter) and diverting them into BTC as a positive expected value "lottery ticket."

Nobody knows, but I think this is the greatest generational wealth transfer opportunity of our time.

Disclaimer: Not financial advice. Simply sharing my personal strategy.

OPPORTUNITY #3: Newsletters as Wealth Vehicles

Why I'm investing in newsletters as my Tier 3 income strategy

As a reminder, my 3-tier income approach:

  • Tier 1: Quick wins (match betting, etc.)

  • Tier 2: Service businesses (writing, video editing)

  • Tier 3: Cash-flowing assets (like this newsletter)

Why newsletters beat social platforms: Not subject to algorithm changes. Everyone checks email daily. You OWN rather than RENT your audience.

I've been studying this model obsessively.

The beauty is in the scaling potential. You start small - today's newsletter ad nets me $2 per click - but the real money comes when you build trust with your audience. A 10,000-subscriber list with just 2% conversion on a $497 course means $99,400 in revenue. With solid evergreen content, that becomes recurring income.

There's also the acquisition model. Newsletters typically sell for 2.5-4x annual revenue. Build a $250k/year newsletter business and suddenly you're sitting on a $1M asset you can leverage or sell. Even better - use capital from your core business to invest, and you'll get tax relief while building an asset that can later be sold for capital gains rates.

INSIDER TIP: Check out Matt Gary's work - he's built million-dollar newsletter businesses with exactly this approach.

Catch you soon,

Lewis
