Creating
Multiple Streams of Income Online
Everybody knows the phrase, there are multiple ways to skin a cat, but
not many entrepreneurs believe that there are multiple ways to earn an
income. Robert Allen was probably the first person to coin
the
term, “multiple streams of income” and it is in
fact a
brilliant strategy to get rich and stay rich.
Creating multiple streams of income has become a reality for
entrepreneurs all over the world because of the opportunities that the
Internet has created and here are just some of the many ways to help
you get started building your income portfolios.
1. Google AdSense
Google’s AdSense program is probably one of the easiest ways
for
anyone, even a complete newbies, to start building a passive stream of
income. AdSense is a pay-per-click advertising network that
pays
you every time a visitor to your website clicks on an
advertisement. Apart from placing a simple piece of code on
your
website that AdSense provides, the only other
“real” work
you have to do is create relevant content and drive traffic to your
site.
2. Create An Online Directory
Online directories make great bait for search engine spiders because of
its ability to create lots of content very quickly. You can
place
AdSense on your directory and watch your income grow, but an
increasingly popular way of building a passive income with an online
directory is by selling text links.
Selling text links is like selling advertising space except that
instead of displaying banners, your directory displays links.
You
could offer a monthly, yearly, or even a permanent option to build this
type of income.
If you don’t want to create a directory but you already have
a
website, you might consider creating a category where you place links
to other websites for a fee. The higher the page rank of your
website, the higher the fee you can demand.
3. Get Paid To Review Products
Another increasingly popular way of creating a new revenue stream is to
become a paid blogger. You simply start a blog and get paid
to
review products, review someone else’s blog, or review just
about
anything an advertiser would want reviewed. Services like
ReviewMe.com and PayPerPost.com caters to both bloggers and advertisers
who are interested in this business model.
4. Create A Membership Site
If you have information that you think people would be keen to pay for,
consider starting a membership site. Impose a low monthly
subscription fee and offer information that is exclusive to this
community. If you think your information is worth a higher
subscription fee, then raise the price. Prospects will pay if
they know the information is made exclusively for them.
5. Selling Domain Names
Buying and selling domain names is a great way to build your income
fast if you know what you’re doing. There are folks
making
a full-time income doing this, but there is a learning curve required
to achieve optimum results. There is money to be made in
selling
domain names so learn the trade if you’re interested.
6. Affiliate Marketing
Probably, the most popular business model for earning an income online,
affiliate marketing is a really simple way of creating a new stream of
income online on a very low budget. Affiliate marketing is
about
selling someone else’s product or service for a commission,
without having to deal with customer payments and product deliveries on
your end. Amazon.com is a perfect example of how affiliate
marketing works and is definitely a great business model to get into.
7. Teleseminars
If you already have a subscriber base, then consider selling them your
expertise via a series of paid teleseminars. Offering paid
teleseminars is a wonderful way of helping your customers and prospects
learn more about your products or services. You can monetize
your
paid teleseminars even further by recording them and selling them in
different audio formats, or even have them transcribed to be sold as
eBooks.
8. Special Reports And eBooks
If you could record a teleseminar and sell it as an eBook, imagine what
you could do with the rest of the intellectual property you
own.
People love consuming information, and packaging solutions to a problem
in the form of special reports and eBooks is a revenue stream that can
truly last you a lifetime.
9. Create A Tips Booklet
Very much like creating special reports, but a tips booklet can be
shorter and more succinct. I mentioned people loved gaining
access to exclusive information, but even more of them love reading a
list of tips for quick solutions. David Letterman uses this
to
his advantage with his Top Ten List and it has now become a favorite
segment of his show. You too can use this to your advantage
by
creating a booklet of “The Top 10 Ways To
…” or
variations of that to build yourself a nice stream of income.
Creating multiple streams of income isn’t rocket science and
is
very achievable. All it takes is a little ingenuity and lots
of
determination to succeed.
