Helping You Take Your Business To The Next Level

Browsing Posts in Affiliate

For sometime now I have been thinking about the name of my blog………. My Auction Empires. When I started out blogging my main focus was Auctions…… I did not think about the future, this was a big mistake.

Today I have renamed this blog My Online Empires as this name covers all the areas of earning money from and on the internet.

So a word of advice to my readers out there, when you buy a name or are thinking about the name for your business, please think long term and not just short term.

Have a great day.

Multiple Income Streams

Today I want to talk why we need Multiple Income Streams coming into our businesses. If you look at any type of business either online or offline then 99.9% will have multiple income streams or some kind of multiple income built into it.

Now for that 00.1% that only has one product (product means service as well) they have a very special niche and for me, although they can charge top price etc, their business is not built on a solid platform, all you need is something to happen to that niche and the business is gone.

So what are Multiple Income Streams ?

Let us look at a few niches to find out -

GiftShop – This is the main niche, Now you can have loads of income streams coming into your giftshop. 1) You have the main Holidays – Easter, Christmas, Other Faiths Holidays where gifts and cards are given, now these are broken down into adult, children, old and young male and female.

Next you have things like Mother’s day, fathers day etc, etc,

Now each of those main niche’s have many different income streams – cards, gifts, paper, flowers, so if suddenly everyone stopped giving flowers on mother’s day the shop would still carry on because they had cards and other gifts, and hey after mother’s day there are hundred’s more days where flowers are given.

Another example of Multiple Income Streams.

This idea is more for the Information provider.

You start off with a blog post like this – this then moves into a report- now you sell them an ebook- which leads into a hardcopy of the book – which leads into a CD – which leads into DVD – which leads into teleseminar – which leads into seminar – which leads into private  coaching – which leads us back into an eBook part two and we then move through the system again.
And once you have done this one niche let us say Tattoo designs for girls between 18 -25, you move onto girls 26 – 3o , then men, then sufer girls etc etc, .

The above is just one small example of Multiple Income Streams with one idea.

Another point you can have your own products, Clickbank Products, affiliate Products, Joint Ventures all giving you different income streams in case one dries up on you.

Hope this helps you, any questions on Multiple Income Streams please leave a comment and I will help you all I can.

Hi,

Over the next few weeks, having taken advice from Janelle Elms of OSI RockStars I am changing parts of this blog.

For example I have bought a new domain name and will be using this for my Education Specialist Program, and  this will be a static site with just a few articles there, but the base will be the classes I teach. this will be on LinfordDirectTraining . com (This is NOT live yet).

And I have bought another name for my Trading Assistant business.  This is on Trading-Assistant-In-Staffordshire . com again as yet this is not live.

Then I shall use this blog, to post hints and tips, product sources etc, and as the two new ones will be more static I shall not have to spend loads of time on them, just updating when I add new classes etc.

Happy eBaying

BANS

Well at 9pm I took the plunge. I opened my Wallet and took out my card, blow off the cobwebs, and bought the BANS software.

At 9.10pm I logged into my hostgator account and found a domain name that I was not using. (For those tech people out there I have a resellers account, so It is rather like having a new account – it costs me $24.00 a month)

At 9.20pm I followed the detailed instructions – Note here it is worth while to print these out as you can keep by you as you set up the account)

At 9.30pm I started the upload using Cute FTP.

At 9.45pm I hit a snag with one of the folders it said an error had happened, but to be fair I think that was my fault as my computer had decided to do a virus check and some other stuff..

At 9.50pm I had taken off the script folder.

At 9.53pm I had re loaded the script folder and all was well.

At 10.02pm I had the script loaded onto my account.

It was as easy as they say.

Tomorrow I will start to add content, and also let you have a look at my work.

This will be a thread in progress.
