One of the fastest ways to grow your online income is with residual income. Residual income puts money in an affiliate marketer’s pocket without any work or effort on their part. It doesn’t get any better than that. Sales of back-end products allow you to get paid for work that you do more than once. The idea here is to work smarter…not harder.

So what are back-end products? They are products/services you offer to existing customers, i.e. to people who have already bought a first product (front-end product. lead product) from you.

Most online marketers make much more money selling customers the second, third, fourth etc. product than selling their first product. The reason is that people who’ve already bought from you once are much more likely to buy again.

Strategies like back-end offers shifts the focus from the short sighted “take the money and run” strategy that is so much in use on the internet today. You’ve seen these sites all over. The focus is on getting a massive amount of traffic and then selling visitors an over-priced product that doesn’t deliver what was promised. They might make money in the short run but they will only sell to each customer once and will have to continue spending a lot of money on advertising to get new suckers to visit their site.

More successful sites focus on building a strong relationship with their customers. Your main goal shouldn’t be to just make sure your customers are somewhat satisfied…you want them to be extremely satisfied. If you deliver the goods, your customers will trust you more. If you have their trust, you can sell them anything. When you send your very satisfied customers an email offering another product that they would be interested in, they will flock to your site to buy it because they trust you. Trust is everything.

One of the coolest people to learn this from is Jonny Andrews. I’ve learned more from this dude in one month than I did in over one year of studies in the affiliate marketing field. Basically, any product this guy puts out is worth getting. I’ve bought two of his products so far and they were both fantastic.

When you’re doing your affiliate marketing and online research, make sure you pick a product that has residual commissions. There’s nothing better than working once and getting paid for it over and over again. Good times and fuzzy bunnies

To your online success…

If you’ve been told that to grow your online income you’ll need a lot of capital, then you’ve been lied to. Or more politely, misinformed. There are many, many ways you can drive traffic to your blog and grow your online income without shelling out big bucks.

While there are ways to jump start your traffic flows, many sites don’t have the resources that others have to generate more traffic for your site. Well, you don’t have to spend a cent; all you need is the proper mindset and a lot of eagerness. You also must have the drive and perseverance to do hard work and research to generate more traffic for your site.

How sweet it is to have more traffic for your site without spending a single cent. Now it’s a sure thing that many sites have articles that offer tips and guidelines in how to generate traffic using only free methods. Because it is possible, you don’t need to speed a single cent, it may take time, to say honestly, I’m not going to beat around the bush with you. You get better chances by paying for your advertisements, but at least you get a fighting chance with some of these free methods I’m about to tell you.

Take advantage of online forums and online communities. The great thing about forums and online communities is that you can target a certain group that fits the certain demographic that you are looking for. You can discuss about lots of things about the niche that you represent or offer. Another great advantage is that you know what you are getting into and you will be prepared.

With online communities and forums you can build a reputation for your company. Show them what you are made of and wow them with your range of expertise about the subject, with that you can build a reputation and build trust with the people in your expertise and knowledge.

You can also make use of newsletters. Provide people with a catalog of your products and interesting and entertaining articles. If you make it really interesting and entertaining, more people will sign up for your newsletter and recommend it to other people. The more people who signs up for your newsletter, the more people there will be that will go to your site increasing your traffic.

Another great idea is trading links with other sites. You don’t have to spend a cent. All you have to do is reach an agreement with another webmaster. With exchanging links, the efforts both sites do will benefit both sites. Every traffic that goes to the site could potentially click on the link of your site and visit your site as well. This works well especially when both sites feature the same niche.

Write articles that could pique the attention of people that have interest in your product. Try writing articles that will provide tips and guides to other aficionados. Writing articles that provide good service and knowledge to other people would provide the necessary mileage your traffic flow needs.

Many sites offer free submission and posting of your articles. When people find interest in your articles they have a good chance of following the track by finding out where the article originated. Include a link or a brief description of your company with the article and there’s a great probability that they will go to your site.

Write good content for your site. Many search engines track down the keywords and keyword phrases your site uses and how they are used. It is not a requirement that content should be done by a professional content writer. You could do your own but you have to make content for your site that is entertaining as well as informational. It should provide certain requirements as well as great quality.

Generally, internet users use search engines to find what they are looking for. Search engines in return use keyword searching in aiding their search results. With the right keywords, you could get high rankings in search engine results without the costs.

All of these methods and more will drive more traffic to your site for free. All it takes is a bit of effort and extended man hours. Learn all you can about the methods depicted here and you will soon have a site with a great traffic flow without the usual costs that come with it.

What’s really cool about this is the fact that MOST of this can be automated. Imagine that. A set it and forget it blog. A buddy of mine, Jeff Dedrick, will tell you all about it at Automated Traffic .

I heard this poem today…and it made me cry.  If you are trying to grow your online income…please don’t neglect your family in the process.

Read this poem.  You’ll be glad you did.

Father Forgets. by W. Livingston Larned

Listen, son: I am saying this as you lie asleep, one little paw crumpled under your cheek and the blond curls stickily wet on your damp forehead. I have stolen into your room alone. Just a few minutes ago, as I sat reading my paper in the library, a stifling wave of remorse swept over me. Guiltily I came to your bedside.

There are the things I was thinking, son: I had been cross to you. I scolded you as you were dressing for school because you gave your face merely a dab with a towel. I took you to task for not cleaning your shoes. I called out angrily when you threw some of your things on the floor.

At breakfast I found fault, too. You spilled things. You gulped down your food. You put your elbows on the table. You spread butter too thick on your bread. And as you started off to play and I made for my train, you turned and waved a hand and called, ‘Goodbye, Daddy!’ and I frowned, and said in reply, ‘Hold your shoulders back!’

Then it began all over again in the late afternoon. As I came up the road I spied you, down on your knees, playing marbles. There were holes in your stockings. I humiliated you before your boyfriends by marching you ahead of me to the house. Stockings were expensive – and if you had to buy them you would be more careful! Imagine that, son, from a father!

Do you remember, later, when I was reading in the library, how you came in timidly, with a sort of hurt look in your eyes? When I glanced up over my paper, impatient at the interruption, you hesitated at the door. ‘What is it you want?’ I snapped.You said nothing, but ran across in one tempestuous plunge, and threw your arms around my neck and kissed me, and your small arms tightened with an affection that God had set blooming in your heart and which even neglect could not wither. And then you were gone, pattering up the stairs.

Well, son, it was shortly afterwards that my paper slipped from my hands and a terrible sickening fear came over me. What has habit been doing to me? The habit of finding fault, of reprimanding – this was my reward to you for being a boy. It was not that I did not love you; it was that I expected too much of youth. I was measuring you by the yardstick of my own years.

And there was so much that was good and fine and true in your character. The little heart of you was as big as the dawn itself over the wide hills. This was shown by your spontaneous impulse to rush in and kiss me good night. Nothing else matters tonight, son. I have come to your bedside in the darkness, and I have knelt there, ashamed!

It is a feeble atonement; I know you would not understand these things if I told them to you during your waking hours. But tomorrow I will be a real daddy! I will chum with you, and suffer when you suffer, and laugh when you laugh. I will bite my tongue when impatient words come. I will keep saying as if it were a ritual: ‘He is nothing but a boy – a little boy!’

I am afraid I have visualized you as a man. Yet as I see you now, son, crumpled and weary in your cot, I see that you are still a baby. Yesterday you were in your mother’s arms, your head on her shoulder. I have asked too much, too much.

- W. Livingston Larned

I have a great son.  And I love him more and more each day.

To your success…

Most people who are new to internet marketing never really think about their weight when they get into this profession. But let me tell you, if you’ve come from a job where you performed manual labor to the internet marketing career, you’re going to pack on some unwanted weight fast. Think about it for a second. What’s the life of an internet marketer like anyway? Here’s brief synopsis.

• Wake up between 5:00 and 6:00 a.m.
• Go to the computer and read some emails or motivational material
• Begin to write blog posts for their chosen niche
• Write articles for their chosen niche
• Comment on other blogs in their niche
• Venture over to the Warrior Forum for a few moments and pick up some new ideas and post some comments
• Submit their articles to article directories
• Work on getting traffic to their site(s)
• Work on product creation
• Review other niches to work in
• Write some more articles
• Rinse and repeat…

All the while you are doing this while sitting ON YOUR ASS! Don’t get me wrong, I love working online and I love talking to you all about how to grow your online income. But it will come with a price if you don’t watch it. And that price you’ll pay is weight gain.

So Now What?

Personally, I go to the gym 4 days a week, sometimes 5. I work out for about an hour when I go, sometimes more. I also had to change my eating habits too folks, because my diet was nothing shy of horrible.

But I can assure you that if you’ve never really been the kind of person to go the gym, then this will be even more difficult than growing your online income. You’re going to need some help. I wouldn’t really recommend a personal trainer right now because they cost too much. Maybe you can read some books about diet, nutrition and exercise and get motivated, maybe not.

Most books I’ve read on the weight loss and build muscle category are boring and their methods are old and don’t really fit my needs. However, probably the coolest program I’ve come across is from Joel Marion.

He has this program called Xtreme Fat Loss Diet. I’m not much into watching the workout shows on TV, what I can tell you is this guy’s been featured on Oxygen, ABC, CBS and FOX. And his product is pretty freaking good.

The coolest thing about it is that right now he has a $5 trial offer. That’s cheaper than any weight loss or exercise book I’ve ever read or bought. So for 5 bucks you can try his workout and diet program and if you don’t like it…just refund it. But I doubt you will.

Hey, your online income is important…I know. But your online income won’t amount to a hill of beans if your health sucks. So just for craps and laughs, go check out The Xtreme Fat Loss Diet and tell me what you think.

To your success in growing your online income.

Peace,

Shane

P.S. For 5 bucks, what have you go to lose. Go check out the Xtreme Fat Loss Diet now.

It’s a fair question to ask right? After all, if you’re looking to grow your online income then you are going to want every advantage you can get right? Let me tell you a little story about my experience with marketing coaches savvy?

Just so you know, not only am I an online marketer I also own a home inspection firm. Kind of cool. Call me greedy, but I just happen to love multiple streams of income. Anyway, on with the story.

In the beginning of my home inspection career I was frickin clueless about marketing or what it even was. I just kind of hung out my shingle and passed out cards for my inspection firm. That really wasn’t overly effective, for obvious reasons. And when I wasn’t able to book enough inspections to pay the bills…I began to look for help.

I got involved with a company called Home Inspector Startup and Growth. Basically, this guy is a home inspector that knows how to market his services very, very well. He started a coaching program teaching home inspectors across the country how to market their home inspection services as well. I paid like $80 a month for his services.

The results? Well, I went from making $30,000 a year to $60,000 a year because of the marketing strategies he taught me. The results were almost immediate. Now do the math. 12 (months) times $80 (a month) equals $960. Follow me? Now, I paid $960 to make $30,000 additional dollars in my business. Yea, I’ll put that nickel in the slot machine any day man.

So let me ask you again. Would a marketing coach help YOU grow your online income? I dunno, but my gut feeling is a resounding YES.

Just to let you know, I still have a marketing coach. His name is Mark Hendricks and he has this program called The Ultimate Success Program . And before you get all freaked out on me, his basic program is FREE. Pretty cool. I’m in the program that costs only $10 a month.

Mark Hendricks has helped my online marketing drastically and I’m confident he can help you with yours too. I’m not gonna sell you on his services, just go check him out here. Hold on…I’ll grab his link from my bookmarks.
Here you go, just click that link…Ultimate Success Program

I wish you success in your online marketing endeavors and I hope you grow your online income to heights most only DREAM about.

Peace,

Shane
