  • 00:00:00
    hey everyone Tim Stoddard here and in
  • 00:00:02
    this week's video I am going to show you
  • 00:00:05
    what is the biggest business opportunity
  • 00:00:09
    in the history of the world and I
  • 00:00:12
    realize that that might sound a little
  • 00:00:15
    bit dramatic but the numbers don't lie
  • 00:00:19
    uh okay so let's get
  • 00:00:21
    [Music]
  • 00:00:25
    serious people who follow my newsletter
  • 00:00:28
    and watch my videos know that I'm very
  • 00:00:30
    fascinated with demographics and
  • 00:00:32
    demographics is just a fancy way of
  • 00:00:34
    saying the age of the population of a
  • 00:00:39
    particular area so the world and
  • 00:00:42
    especially Western countries are older
  • 00:00:46
    than ever the the population of the
  • 00:00:48
    world is older than it's ever been and
  • 00:00:51
    this is particularly true in Western
  • 00:00:52
    countries a lot of it has to do with
  • 00:00:54
    World War II and Baby Boomers and
  • 00:00:56
    industrialism and etc etc however what's
  • 00:01:00
    really interesting is that so much of
  • 00:01:02
    the older generation actually has all of
  • 00:01:05
    the money 60 year olds and older have
  • 00:01:11
    50% of the wealth and this presents a
  • 00:01:15
    huge huge opportunity to Market to these
  • 00:01:19
    people so what's so interesting is that
  • 00:01:22
    in marketing and in digital marketing
  • 00:01:25
    the general consensus is always that you
  • 00:01:29
    have to Market to the 18 to 35 year olds
  • 00:01:31
    they're the ones that spend the most
  • 00:01:33
    money they're the ones that are most uh
  • 00:01:36
    that are the least Frugal with their
  • 00:01:38
    cash and that's really the best
  • 00:01:40
    demographic to go after we're going to
  • 00:01:43
    create products for younger people we're
  • 00:01:44
    going to tailor our services for younger
  • 00:01:46
    people we're going to make marketing
  • 00:01:47
    material that specifically attracts
  • 00:01:49
    younger people but that's really not the
  • 00:01:50
    case anymore the money is to be made in
  • 00:01:53
    older people but nobody wants to do it
  • 00:01:56
    because it's not cool and fun and sexy
  • 00:01:58
    and it doesn't have anything to do with
  • 00:02:00
    AI but if you want to make some money
  • 00:02:03
    here's how you do it I've been
  • 00:02:04
    fascinated with this topic for a long
  • 00:02:05
    time if anybody wants to check out
  • 00:02:08
    longevity gain.com this is a really cool
  • 00:02:10
    newsletter from my my friend Brian Clark
  • 00:02:13
    he writes a lot about how to Market two
  • 00:02:15
    older adults but uh in in his blog he
  • 00:02:19
    doesn't necessarily talk about specific
  • 00:02:22
    examples that much he really talks about
  • 00:02:24
    the fact that older people don't want to
  • 00:02:26
    be treated like they're older people
  • 00:02:28
    right they don't want to be the AARP
  • 00:02:30
    cards being older isn't what it used to
  • 00:02:32
    be 100 years ago right being 60 you
  • 00:02:35
    still have plenty of life left in you so
  • 00:02:36
    they're still vibrant they still have a
  • 00:02:37
    lot of health and I found this article
  • 00:02:40
    on HubSpot which was uh was really great
  • 00:02:44
    so three lucrative ways to help seniors
  • 00:02:47
    live that fit and fabulous lifestyle
  • 00:02:50
    kind of ridiculous title uh but
  • 00:02:52
    nonetheless there's some really really
  • 00:02:53
    interesting statistics here so this
  • 00:02:55
    article argues that senior only Boutique
  • 00:02:57
    Studios is a really great business
  • 00:03:00
    um I'm not so sure simply because I'm
  • 00:03:03
    kind of anti- any business that has a
  • 00:03:05
    lot of overhead this is just my style if
  • 00:03:07
    you want to you know become a franchisee
  • 00:03:10
    of orange Fitness or Bar's boot camp
  • 00:03:12
    that's certainly an option for you um
  • 00:03:15
    not what I'm looking for this is really
  • 00:03:17
    interesting Adventure tourism and
  • 00:03:19
    extreme sports as I said older people
  • 00:03:22
    aren't just sitting at home in their
  • 00:03:23
    rocking chair anymore um they're getting
  • 00:03:26
    out there travel is is one of the top
  • 00:03:29
    priori ities for older people and even
  • 00:03:31
    right here how it says seniors like we
  • 00:03:34
    got to get over this if you're treating
  • 00:03:36
    older people like they're seniors then
  • 00:03:38
    they're not going to feel like you're
  • 00:03:39
    taking them seriously this is one of the
  • 00:03:41
    things about longevity games that I
  • 00:03:42
    really really like and all this is cool
  • 00:03:45
    but I think the real opportunity is to
  • 00:03:48
    create your own brand your own
  • 00:03:50
    newsletter your own media outlet that
  • 00:03:52
    tailor specifically two people 60 and
  • 00:03:55
    above and before I get into some of the
  • 00:03:58
    really cool data I want to show you what
  • 00:04:00
    not to do so this is exactly what I mean
  • 00:04:03
    right this is uh windmer ls.com it's
  • 00:04:09
    it's basically a website that is
  • 00:04:11
    tailored to older adults and the whole
  • 00:04:15
    entire thing is just it's such a bad
  • 00:04:19
    Vibe um here's an article that I'm
  • 00:04:21
    giving as an example top 10 Health and
  • 00:04:23
    Wellness websites for seniors
  • 00:04:25
    right NIH senior health Med lines
  • 00:04:29
    senior's Health senior Fitness
  • 00:04:31
    nutrition.gov um the Mayo Clinic right
  • 00:04:34
    all of these websites treat older people
  • 00:04:37
    like they're dying like they just you
  • 00:04:41
    only got a couple years left man you
  • 00:04:43
    might as well chalk it up there's
  • 00:04:45
    nothing really much to do here why don't
  • 00:04:46
    you just stay old and get some shots and
  • 00:04:49
    like go to the doctors every week and
  • 00:04:50
    this is such a terrible mistake this is
  • 00:04:52
    the Alzheimer's Association you know
  • 00:04:54
    come on like all of the media entities
  • 00:04:57
    out there right now and all of the
  • 00:04:59
    newslet ERS that tailor towards older
  • 00:05:02
    adults treat them like they're old and
  • 00:05:05
    dying and like they're on hospice and
  • 00:05:07
    this is such a stupid missed opportunity
  • 00:05:11
    so let's let's like look at some really
  • 00:05:13
    interesting data right here right so
  • 00:05:15
    Cherry
  • 00:05:16
    yoga I had no idea that cherry yoga was
  • 00:05:19
    a thing Cherry yoga if if nobody's ever
  • 00:05:22
    used uh Google Trends before this isn't
  • 00:05:25
    this bar right here this isn't the
  • 00:05:26
    actual like traffic numbers this is an
  • 00:05:28
    interest graph right so if if it's at
  • 00:05:31
    100 so right here May 7th 2024 this just
  • 00:05:34
    means that the interest for this
  • 00:05:36
    particular keyword is the highest it's
  • 00:05:38
    ever been so on May 7th 2024 which was
  • 00:05:43
    two weeks ago the interest for chair
  • 00:05:45
    yoga was at 100 doesn't necessarily mean
  • 00:05:47
    there was 100 clicks it just means that
  • 00:05:49
    like the the interest peaked the
  • 00:05:51
    interest is staying peaking right now
  • 00:05:54
    and there's no reason to think that this
  • 00:05:56
    is going to go down because older people
  • 00:05:59
    aren't trying to sit at home and do
  • 00:06:02
    nothing and die they want to get out
  • 00:06:03
    there they want to exercise they want to
  • 00:06:05
    find ways to move their body and
  • 00:06:06
    interact with people and check this out
  • 00:06:08
    the search volume is
  • 00:06:09
    42,000 a month like are you
  • 00:06:13
    kidding me so yoga by
  • 00:06:17
    Adrien is ranking number one for this
  • 00:06:20
    and I mean come on it's just a perfect
  • 00:06:21
    example um I can only imagine
  • 00:06:24
    how how many views this video has right
  • 00:06:28
    now 2.7 million ion views I mean come on
  • 00:06:31
    this is just such a perfect example and
  • 00:06:33
    yoga by Adrian she's like obviously a
  • 00:06:36
    really killer YouTuber but um she's
  • 00:06:38
    tasteful and she's not going to treat
  • 00:06:40
    them like they're poor dying old people
  • 00:06:43
    um all right so what rubish look at this
  • 00:06:46
    this peaked May 1st um so it's still
  • 00:06:49
    around like 50% Peak Interest but this
  • 00:06:51
    is huge the search volume is 9.3 th000 a
  • 00:06:58
    month so I mean these are just really
  • 00:07:01
    really basic
  • 00:07:02
    examples I don't necessarily have a
  • 00:07:05
    whole list of keywords that you can go
  • 00:07:07
    after or a whole list of topics but the
  • 00:07:10
    point I am trying to make is that the
  • 00:07:13
    opportunity to
  • 00:07:15
    create news media
  • 00:07:19
    resources yes videos I mean older people
  • 00:07:23
    are on Facebook and YouTube and
  • 00:07:25
    Instagram just like everybody else the
  • 00:07:27
    opportunity is so drastic it's really
  • 00:07:30
    really huge and it's it quite is
  • 00:07:32
    literally the biggest monetary
  • 00:07:34
    opportunity the biggest business
  • 00:07:36
    opportunity in the history of the world
  • 00:07:38
    right like so much of the population is
  • 00:07:41
    over the age of 60 right now and all of
  • 00:07:43
    these people are looking to get out
  • 00:07:44
    there so what would I do I mean how how
  • 00:07:47
    would I start this well I would
  • 00:07:49
    personally just create a substack my
  • 00:07:51
    friend's got a great substack that she
  • 00:07:53
    uses the magazine theme so Paulina
  • 00:07:56
    substack is really perfect right and
  • 00:07:58
    yeah this is great so one of the things
  • 00:07:59
    about substack is you can create
  • 00:08:01
    categories and you can put these
  • 00:08:03
    categories in the nav bar this
  • 00:08:05
    particular substack has nothing to do
  • 00:08:07
    with uh um with like older people but
  • 00:08:10
    it's it's just a perfect example of how
  • 00:08:12
    I would structure it you know so I would
  • 00:08:13
    put one of these categories as health
  • 00:08:15
    and wellness for travel for family and
  • 00:08:17
    relationships shopping right like yes
  • 00:08:20
    old people like to get dressed up and go
  • 00:08:22
    to dinner there's a ton of
  • 00:08:25
    clothes that can be sold to people over
  • 00:08:27
    the age of 60 this is exactly what I
  • 00:08:30
    would do um if you're a writer if you're
  • 00:08:33
    a curator there's so much there's so
  • 00:08:35
    much information and data that's like
  • 00:08:37
    aggregated all over the place and nobody
  • 00:08:40
    has centralized it because once again
  • 00:08:42
    everybody's treating them like they need
  • 00:08:44
    to go to the Mayo Clinic as opposed to
  • 00:08:47
    treating them like hip people that still
  • 00:08:50
    have plenty of years left in their lives
  • 00:08:51
    and want to get out there and they want
  • 00:08:53
    to do things I wish I had time to do
  • 00:08:55
    this because I would do this at a
  • 00:08:56
    freaking heartbeat if anybody watching
  • 00:08:58
    this thinks this is a good idea and
  • 00:09:00
    you're committed to creating content
  • 00:09:02
    once a week and original articles and
  • 00:09:05
    curated newsletters for this kind of
  • 00:09:07
    thing uh talk to me I would certainly be
  • 00:09:10
    interested in partnering with somebody
  • 00:09:11
    about this but uh man I would I would do
  • 00:09:14
    this in a split second and then so you
  • 00:09:16
    see how with substack this is one of the
  • 00:09:19
    things that you can do right where you
  • 00:09:20
    can create these different categories so
  • 00:09:22
    so now you have a newsletter and you
  • 00:09:23
    have a media company and you're driving
  • 00:09:25
    organic traffic and you can monetize
  • 00:09:27
    through a gazillion different way so I'm
  • 00:09:29
    not even going to talk about right now
  • 00:09:31
    right I hope you enjoyed this week's
  • 00:09:34
    video uh this week was definitely a
  • 00:09:35
    little bit more free flowing and kind of
  • 00:09:37
    spitballing it but the the reason is
  • 00:09:40
    because this this opportunity is so new
  • 00:09:43
    and so obvious that I'm always just
  • 00:09:45
    shocked that there's not more people
  • 00:09:47
    trying to do this so I don't have a
  • 00:09:49
    whole lot of good examples all I have is
  • 00:09:51
    data all I have is is the clear clear
  • 00:09:54
    opportunities with the numbers and the
  • 00:09:55
    metrics and the neog graphics to show
  • 00:09:57
    you that like there's so much money here
  • 00:09:59
    it's like more money than there's ever
  • 00:10:01
    been maybe with the exception of oil
  • 00:10:04
    right like only oil is more money than
  • 00:10:07
    this and uh man I hope somebody watches
  • 00:10:10
    this takes advantage and and runs with
  • 00:10:13
    it all right thank you so much if you
  • 00:10:15
    have any questions please leave a
  • 00:10:16
    comment please smash that subscribe
