Fighting Fire With Fire Gets You Residual Income

residual incomePassive income, commonly called residual income, roughly translates into receiving sustainable income through little effort on your part. Residual income is the holy grail sought by so many either online or through offline efforts. Does achieving this goal mean no work? The answer to that is no. To create money out of thin air is just something too many of “those types” of programs would love you to fall for – to believe is possible. It’s not, so let’s take a look at what will get you what you need… more money.

Residual Income Trial by Fire

As stated above, it is entirely possible all internet marketers have been taken in by promises that cannot possibly be lived up to; a reality that does not exist. These types of programs make statements that persuade you that residual income just happens. You need do nothing and magically money falls from the sky. So you test the waters, become disenchanted, and reach the point of, “Do I go on or do I give up?”

Do not give up.

In reality, you have taken all the right steps – trial by fire so to speak – to prove to yourself that most of what is out there is pure rubbish. You, like Edison, have discovered the 1000 ways not to make something happen. Then, presto!, your luck changes and you, like Edison, find the solution. (more…)

Recruit A Friend An Online Strategy Not Just For Gamers

professional recruit a friendIt’s an interesting fact that when you do a search for “recruit a friend” in Google, the results that come back on page 1 focus mainly on the video game World of Warcraft. Yet, those of us in internet marketing know that the satisfaction and success we get with the recruit a friend concept is very similar. When you refer a friend in a game you get something from it. When you recruit a friend for an MLM program, you get more… money.

A Successful Recruit A Friend Campaign

Let’s give credit where credit is due. If gamers know the importance surrounding the recruit a friend scenario, shouldn’t internet marketers know it and use it, too? The simple yes is the correct answer, but it’s the doing that is difficult.

In the context of internet marketing, one of the first steps many of us take is to reach out and attempt to recruit a friend into our program. This can become tiresome for most since how many time can you ask the same person or persons to join a program? How many times does the “just recruit a friend” really work for you? (more…)

Change Your Groupon Mentality

It seems everywhere you turn the name Groupon pops up. In theory, the idea appears sound. In reality, when you choose “coupons” you are not getting your full money’s worth. Truth be told, Groupon does very little other than to save you a bit of money here and there.

Groupon Big Whoop

Most likely you signed up for Groupon with the thought that you could save 50 percent off something. Or maybe, just maybe, get a larger discount. But what good are discounts? You still have to shell out for the remainder, right? Sure you save a little, but the point is… you are not getting it for free.

Free Is Better Than Groupon

Frankly, if you have money to spare and only like to save a little by using Groupon like programs versus saving a lot, then you mine as well stop reading right here and continue on your way. If keeping your wallet closed and getting free stuff isn’t appealing to you, then I don’t know what else to tell you.

But, if you really want stuff for free, Groupon is not going to cut it for you.

Why Free Wins Out Over Groupon Any Day

Think about it… For every dollar that stays in your pocket, haven’t you, in essence, made money today? For every dinner out you do not pay for, isn’t that instant savings? Maybe, sadly, you just plain do not go out to dinner anymore because you cannot afford what might now be considered a “luxury.”

Life does not have to be that way.  (more…)
