Success Requires Multiple Income Streams
This article is guest posted by Jan Verhoeff.
You’ve dumped your heart into a blog and you added adsense, you’re selling ad space, and life is good, you made four figures last month, but the cost of buying your own ads, keeping up that expensive car you bought, and paying for a housekeeper to prevent you from living in a pigsty while you write your blog costs five figures. Here’s the deal… You really want to Make Money Online?
To make money, you have to have money
I know, I know. There are those people out there who started out and just made money instantly and they’re moving on up, so what’s the diff?
Some folks hit it lucky, but most often, the reality is gonna bite ‘em in the backside and they’ll realize that more businesses fail than succeed if they’re not tossing money back into the pot. So…
You’ll have to spend money to make money
What can you do to add income streams to your business? Consider adding an income stream that doesn’t require your time. You’ll be spending enough on what you’re doing already, so let’s find an income stream with minimal time requirements.
Consider for a moment that you’ve got about an hour to spend building an income stream you want to promote on your website. You’ve got some great ideas. So here’s what you do:
- Find a topic relevant to your business site.
- Create an ad on your website for your new income stream.
- Write a blog post about your new project.
- Send it out over twitter and let the multitudes know you’ve got a new program you’d like them to look at.
- Throw it out on facebook and write a note about it. Your readers love you and they’ll redo the note — which will send more visitors and buyers to your website.
- You did remember to post your new product? Add an affiliate link? Write the sales page?
How long did all that take? Maybe an hour? (If it took you longer, write faster!)
Okay, realistically (because I was having a little fun and comparing what I have done in MAX performance) you’ll probably take an afternoon or so to order in a product, make sure it works, write a sales letter, get a few testimonials, and do all the things listed above to set up your income stream (it’s a fancy way of saying affiliate product and NO they aren’t always the same thing), and push it out there to your buying public. I actually like to buy the product, do a review on the item and use it for a while to make sure what I’m showing my buyers is really worth the money.
You can do this thing. You can make money online, so have some fun and make a few bucks, make a few more and soon, before you know it, you’ll Make a Million Online.

Is this serious?
No you don’t, $5 for hosting per month maximum
Again completely incorrect, I’ve proved this time and time again.
And you don’t even give any examples of a ‘product’ you are talking about. Sorry Carl, I expected more from guest posts on this site.

This article is the worst. It’s all over the place. It has no clear point. The title is about multiple income streams, but the post is about ________ (I don’t even know?). Very bad writing. I don’t want to be mean, but this is just aweful writing by someone who obviously doesn’t know what she is doing. Back to the drawing boards with this one.

Making money online is really easy!
You need an own domain name and web host.
You need a Squeeze Page for capturing information (email addresses)
Promote this Squeeze Page
After the prospects sign up to your Squeeze Page they will come to a Sales letter where you ca promote other peoples stuff as an affiliate or your own product or service. That’s it.
There are a lot of free technques how to drive traffic to your Squeeze page you can choose.
Again
1.Domain name and web host
2.Squeeze Page
3.Sales letter
4. Traffic
Hope this help more readers. If you want to learn more feel free to visit my blog
To your success!

Yes, I can confirm from my own experiences that you need to develop several streams of income with an online business. And once you do you always have to ekkp your eye out for new things that come along. The reality is that some income streams you develop will drop off in time so you always need to be looking to slowly being now ones into the mix. I just added smartappsportal.com because it is new, cutting edge, and I think is going to be a steady income stream for a long time.
