The Power of Making Residual Income Online

Many people make the mistake of thinking they have to work for every dollar they earn. This is why they remain poor. Now this sounds like the intro to some sort of criminal proposition, but it’s actually something far more exciting. It’s the prospect of making residual income online. That’s right. That means working for a dollar once, and then letting that work continue to earn you dollar after dollar long after you’ve moved on to another project. Do you think the inventor of Post-It notes worries about where his next paycheck is coming from? Definitely not. While you may never invent something as hot as Post-It notes, you have a great chance at succeeding online.

Making residual income online means having a plan. Don’t think for a moment that it’s something you can do in an afternoon and then just sit back and watch the money roll in. Unfortunately, it’s a little more difficult than that. It takes some hard work and planning up front for you to see profit and leisure on the other side.

There are many ways to make residual income online. Some people actually feel overwhelmed when they see all of the ways. They worry that they’ll choose the wrong one. First things first: don’t worry. Don’t invest all of your savings into a losing opportunity, but don’t worry, either. Many of today’s most successful Internet entrepreneurs stumbled more than once on their way to fortune. You may stumble a few times as well. That’s okay. Get back up, brush yourself off, and get plugging away. If you remain dedicated to both research and practice, you are guaranteed to find something that will bring in the bucks.

Speaking of opportunities, what do you think you might be interested in? Affiliate marketing is one of the most popular ways of making residual income online. Find a product that someone is selling and jump into their affiliate program. You essentially become a salesman for them. That probably won’t mean going door to door. This is the internet, after all. If you want to sell a product, you create content. Web pages, blogs, articles, advertisements. In the online world, these are the tools of the affiliate marketer.

Speaking of articles, they too can be used as a separate way of bringing is residual online income. There are several websites that accept well written articles and then pay the writer based on page views and a percentage of ad revenue. You can write the article once and then watch as it brings in a steady stream of income. It may not be much at first, but as you gain experience and put more articles up, you’ll start to see a considerable return.

Making residual online income is something that everyone can do. You don’t have to be a marketing genius. Much of the methods are tried and true and they are out there for you to follow. If you dream of one day resting while the fruits of your labor pay off, residual online income is for you.

Go Local for More Money

Go Local for More Money

One of the absolutely most profitable things you can do to generate a lot of cash in a hurry is to take your online skills to the offline world. When those two worlds collide, money happens. And, it's not nearly as difficult as you might think.

Here's what I've discovered... most offline business owners want to have a profitable online presence, and may even have a website already, but they aren't optimizing it even a bit. I love this market, because it's incredibly easy to find clients, and it's even easier to really impact their businesses. In fact, if more of us online marketers would go offline; I believe we could really make an impact in our local communities.

How can you profit quickly from this opportunity?



Here are some services that you can offer that you probably do already for your own business:

Web Design or WordPress Blog Installation & Customization
If you're a WordPress Superman or Wonder Woman, then you can fly in to save the day. If you're not, but know one that will work in your favor too! You bring in the client, your friend does the work and you both profit.

SEO: Search Engine Optimization
In some markets this is hard to compete in, but if you're in a medium-sized town, it can be quite easy to get the number one ranking position in Google for your client simply by submitting a few articles, posting a video on YouTube, and sending out some press releases. It doesn't take a rocket scientist, but your client will surely think you hung the moon.

List Management
This is another highly profitable opportunity for you to take your online skills into the offline world. Offer to set up a mailing list for your offline clients and bill to send the weekly or monthly updates. You can really step this up a notch by doing some testing and offering coupons in the ezines you send that are only sent to that list. When customers start walking in with those coupons, your client will know who sent them.

Video Marketing
Many offline business owners aren't into writing, but they will get in front of a camera to talk about their area of expertise. Grab a Flip Mino camera and capture that video and post it to the host video sites, using some coveted key phrases. You can certainly charge a big price tag for this service, even though it may seem like a trivial “everyone knows how to do that” task. Trust me. They don't!

So, where do you start? Ask around first. It's always easiest to get in the door with people you know, or who know people you know. Then, create a list of profitable offline businesses and take note of any who do not have an effective web presence. From there, it's a matter of picking up the phone and taking that first step.

Find out just how easy (and inexpensive!) it is to add offline advertising to your online business.
