I am a big believer in having several sources of income. (Not putting all your eggs in one basket.) Do not EVER depend on any one business to come through for you every month. Be smart about it. Do you know of an investor that only invests in one company or one thing? While one business you are involved in might be going through the roof, I think it is always wise to have more than one thing going on.
Some businesses will come and go due to trends. Sometimes they do so well, that the internet is saturated with too many people doing the same thing. They are canceling out each other’s advertising and no one wins but the company. Maybe Plan A, for whatever reason, might be slow because of upcoming holidays. Whereas, your Plan B might be the type of business to make money for you during that time. Think about it. It’s wise to keep informed as to what’s new, but never lose focus on other businesses that are a more permanent or steady source of income.
Very few people can just “retire” from participating in only one business. If they can, more power to them. For me, I prefer to spread out my advertising efforts and advertising dollars. I’ve learned over the years to not have your income depend on only one thing. I think most people who do internet marketing for a living will tell you this. While they may promote one thing more than others, you can bet they have other things going on, too. When you find something that works for you, let other people know about it! (This doesn’t mean email everyone you know.)
Internet marketers are always on the lookout for other businesses they can be a part of. Advertising in areas where they will find it is the smartest thing you can do to promote your business. I also recommend making some money in a business before recommending it to other people. If you don’t, you will ruin your credibility. Waiting until you have a good experience/income is just the right thing to do for other people’s sake. I personally choose products that people will continue to want, need, or reorder. I have found that my income is more “stable” this way.
In response to being asked about other businesses or programs I participate in, I’ve included information about some of them in this eBook and on my website. Just remember, it is smarter to have a few hundred dollars coming in each month from 10 sources, than to have one source you depend on. Each of those 10 businesses will continue to grow if you continue to promote them and establish your own organization. Rarely does anyone have a garden with only one type of vegetable. Maintain your businesses as if you were growing a garden and always have a variety of “vegetables.”
