Passive Income Advantage: The Benefits
Of Earning Passively
About the author
Eirik Vold started his first business with a partner in 1996 and sold it five years later for millions. He used some of the cash to start a second business, with services aimed
for Media & IR Contacts, during a period of 3 years served more than one hundred thousands clients, and Eirik ultimately sold that business to a larger international
media company.
After working as a consultant and marketing strategist for small and medium businesses on four continents, Eirik
realized his passion and talent was helping other entrepreneurs be super-successful (online & offline) and in 2005 coined the term Marketing Coaching to describe his work.
Internationally recognized as a business advisor and author, Eirik has worked with thousands of small and medium businesses whose names you’ll never know, but whose entrepreneurial owners have pocketed a substantial sum in
increased income and proceeds from sales. (50% year over year client growth is typical, and 100% sales increases are not uncommon) Thousands
more have read Eirik’s publications, cources and reports, including his wildly successful website nofluffreports.com. “No Fluff Reports” has hot little reports with topics and some of the best strategies for marketing your business
online as well as offline, to make more profits and serve your customers better. These reports is a must read for anyone in the "biz".
There are many benefits to earning a passive income, but among all
the reasons, one above all the others has risen to the forefront this last year or two: The wish to not be dependent any more on a
“regular” 9-5 job.
Sometimes, it’s more than a wish, unfortunately. With lay-offs currently in the millions across North America, “regular” jobs seem to
be going the way of the dinosaur at an alarming rate. Of those who are still employed, many say they’ve noticed a huge change in
company tactics this last decade. Gone are the days when you worked for a company for 25 years, with paid vacations, benefits, bonuses,
free time with your family, paid sick days, and a gold watch and appreciative recognition at retirement. There is now no true job
security – save for a lucky few, it seems. People report constantly feeling under financial siege – and sadly, they are!
Nowadays, countless formerly stable companies have put non-union employees on “contract” – meaning they don’t have to pay benefits. In
many cases, they can lay employees off with no compensation and minimal notice, paying people part-time wages while working them
full-time hours (and often then some.) People are handed their pink slips without warning. Often, because you are employed on an hourly
basis, no valid reasons are given for dismissal – and it’s doubly hard to find another job next time; even a contract position. Foreclosures
abound, and many people have been through the contract job mill so many times (the “lucky” ones, that is) they feel permanently dispirited
and distressed.
If this sounds like you, I admire the proactive spirit that has you deciding you’re not going to wait for the axe to fall. The truth is,
we’ve never been a nation to sit back and simply complain, waiting for
someone else to bail us out. Now is also the best the time to reinvent ourselves and create our own security, wealth and retirement plan.
You may be seeking passive income – but you’re taking anything-but-
passive action today!
The Pros and Cons of Passive Income
Even if you’re fortunate enough to still have a job, it makes sense not
to keep that job as your single lonely egg rolling precariously around in a big, old, empty basket. Adding extra sources of income makes more
sense than ever before, in these tough economic times. Especially when you consider that passive income can take time to grow (though
results will vary widely from person to person, according to their abilities, investment capital available – and the amount of work they
put in.)
If you are jumping on the passive income bandwagon, imagining yourself drinking Singapore Slings on the shores of the Caribbean 6
months from now while money rolls in like the tide, you’re probably in for a shock. But not so many people nowadays are taken in by
network marketers who promise you a six-figure income in a few
weeks or less. Oh, there might be the odd one in a million persons who combines entrepreneurial genius with amazing luck – but
generally, 6 figures in 6 weeks (or even months) just doesn’t happen.
Solid businesses take time to build, but you can greatly accelerate this process if you follow tried-and-true procedures – ones that make
good business sense. Take the time to educate yourself on how to pack and patch your own parachute.
Let’s Get Real…
At first, your new passive income won’t do more than augment income
you already have. When you get to the point that your passive income exceeds your job salary or earnings, then it’s time to quit the day job.
Sometimes you’ll feel as if you’ll never get to that place of true
freedom from financial pressure and working like a slave. You begin to ask: “Will it always be like that?”
Well, Jimmy D. Brown, one of internet marketing’s most successful
entrepreneurs, says he now works a rigid schedule of only 3 hours every day... And still he is able to maintain and grow a burgeoning
empire. His enjoyment and satisfaction with his chosen way of life are palpable.
And that’s what we all want, at the end of the day – a career that will
take us beyond survival to passionate fulfillment. One that will truly put us “in the zone”, free us from financial pressure and leave us time
to play – time for what pioneer psychiatrist Abraham Maslow called “self-actualization”, where we look around to see how we can not only
better the world, but better ourselves and achieve our highest potential.
Before you go racing off, however, to download dozens of passive
income eBooks, take a moment to sit back and discover whether or not this is the best route for you to take – and be ruthlessly honest
with yourself on what you expect to get out of it.
Do you just want to add a couple of hundred dollars to your monthly income, or do you have a game plan for replacing your
regular job as quickly as possible? In one year? In five years?
(Where do you want to be in ten years?)
Are you creating passive income because it sounds like the
perfect fit for your lifestyle and goals, or because you’re expecting easy money to fall in your lap?
Are you comfortably well off enough to have ready cash to invest in coaches and outsourcing services straight away, or are you
down to your last twenty bucks, desperately trying to bring in a full-time income because you have no other option?
If you’re caught in the latter category, take comfort in one fact that
doesn’t apply to those more financially fortunate: your motivation will be much stronger and more focused than the person who just wants to
add a couple of hundred extra for movie tickets or a couple of dinners out every month.
And by using all that time at your disposal, you’ll be able to move ahead more quickly.
Your Personality and Passive Income
There are a few people just not cut out to be an entrepreneur. All
successful entrepreneurs possess certain characteristics – but if you don’t have these characteristics, don’t panic! It doesn’t automatically
follow that online marketing is not for you. What you need more than any characteristic off someone’s list… is the determination to
succeed and the ability to remain challenged rather than daunted by life’s roller-coaster setbacks and failures. If you’re able to
tilt your chin at challenges and refuse to give, you’ve already won half the battle.
Canadian humorist Stephen Leacock was born in the little town of
Orillia, Ontario; and although he died over half a century ago, a large mural still graces the wall of a building on Front Street, displaying his
portrait – and Leacock’s favorite quote: “I am a great believer in luck.
The harder I work, the more of it I have.”
There’s a great deal of truth to that piece of whimsy – even though the quote actually wasn’t Leacock’s at all, but something he had borrowed
– a motto to live by – from Thomas Jefferson!
The same motto could be applied to passive income. Expect to have:
1. A learning curve, at the beginning
2. A battle with self-discipline – there are so many distractions
on the net, and so many courses to take, ebooks to download. (I mention this because it’s a spectacularly common problem with
online entrepreneurs!)
3. A period of hard work at the beginning of each campaign
you set up – but the more you do it, the easier it will get, each
time.
4. Several campaigns going at once, with more added regularly.
Realistically, you will not replace your full-time income and have money to spare by promoting just one product.
Will You Pass the 14 Checkpoints?
There are 7 components you need to set in place, before you begin
your passive income journey. Before you make any decisions, it pays to be aware of these.
In order to succeed, you will almost certainly need:
A plan
A market A mentor
A clear and lucid vision based on solid research A separate bank account for your business
A business plan and sales funnel(s) A safety net
There are also 7 attributes it pays to develop:
Commitment Self-discipline
Determination Confidence
Patience Integrity
A sense of humor
My goodness – sounds like a lot of work, doesn’t it?
Well, it is… and it isn’t. There is always hard work for the first few months – perhaps longer, depending on the time you have available
plus your personality – but once you’ve learned to stay in the saddle
and aim your horse where you want to go, you really can start sitting back and smelling the roses while dollars roll in. And you’re not
answerable to anyone (except God and the IRS!)
Let’s be realistic about the numbers, however. People always seem to
envision setting up one or two sites, and having thousands of dollars roll in. Sadly, it just doesn’t work that way, especially not at first!
Promoting affiliate products is the most popular way to create passive income, but before you plunge into this, be aware that most top
“super affiliates” got that way because they have hundreds of sites set up – many you’re not even aware of, because they don’t stamp their
name on these sites. They’re set up just as vehicles for products that are bringing in steady commissions.
Same with Adsense and CPA (Cost Per Action) ads, where you earn
income simply from people clicking on links or ads you’ve allowed to be placed by CPA networks or Google on your web page. The average
commission for a click is anywhere from 16 cents to $1.80 – but there are some markets that are way more lucrative than others, and that’s
one thing you’ll need to research, if you decide to add CPA to your
efforts.
Still think you’d like to abandon the fragile “security” of your 9-5 job, or even just augment your income with some extra cash? Don’t
despair – with all these methods, there are ways you can leverage your position and profits. There are viable, proven strategies to
significantly maximize your profits and minimize your work.
And focusing on creating these two actions provide the true secret to passive income success!
There is More Than One Way to Create Passive Income
The truth is, even within different modes and methods, there are
things you should do – and things to avoid. The choices you make and
how well you learn these income-boosters and pitfalls will contribute to your success – or lack of it. But no passive income model is doomed to
be just a pipe dream, if you learn the skills and techniques the “super affiliates” use. This does take self-discipline, and above all, focus.
You may not even want at this point to make millions – in which case,
generating passive income and extra trickles of income from diverse sources is a solid action to take. And you’re not “stuck” with having to
choose affiliate marketing as your only method. There are 6 other common ways to creating passive income – and that doesn’t even
include residual income.
What is “residual income”? It’s money that rolls in regularly from a
product or service you’ve already sold: Membership sites are a perfect example of that; or having people pay a monthly fee to access a script
on your website that will allow them to perform tasks like creating graphics, or access targeted research. Depending on how you’ve set
up your residual income generation and how much time you’ve committed to supporting your monthly investors, residual income can
mimic true passive income quite closely – or it can involve a lot more work (for example, if you’ve offered coaching and feedback for that
membership site, and you’re regularly preparing blog posts or instruction modules.)
6 Basic Ways to Generate Passive Income
Let’s take a quick look at the different directions you can choose to go,
and the methods you can mix and match:
Tiered Affiliate Program – These work along the principles of
MLM, or multi-level marketing. This is where you don’t just act as an affiliate yourself, promoting a particular marketer’s
products: you incite other people – your own list – to join the affiliate program too. These second-level affiliates are working
for you, because every sale they make, you bring in a profit. And they, in turn, bring in even more affiliates…
Selling your own product – Create an evergreen (always
relevant and timeless) product that you can set up and sell automatically, via a network like Clickbank or Amazon. People
with a need find your product by looking in these familiar sources, and in that way, they are already pre-sold on your
product.
Running your own Affiliate Program – This is not as
intimidating as it sounds: In fact, if you are selling your own product off Clickbank, this network automatically sets up and
manages your affiliate program for you. There are many easy techniques you can also employ to encourage people to become
your affiliates, as well as powerful strategies you can add.
CPA (Cost Per Action) – You earn passive income every time
someone clicks on an ad or link from a CPA network like Adsense, PepperJam or Share-a-Sale that you’ve allowed to be
placed on your site. The returns on your investment are likely to be small, but again there are ways you can maximize this; and
it’s a viable second source of passive income to add to your main efforts.
PPC (Pay Per Click) – this is where YOU do the paying for the
clicks! The big advantage of setting up your own PPC ads lies in how quickly it can bring results into any marketing campaign.
The drawbacks lie in how quickly you can run up huge costs that dwarf any profit – if you don’t know what you’re doing. Effective
keyword research, setting your daily minimums sensibly, knowing your competitors and their keywords, and bidding
shrewdly can really give your new projects a major search
engine boost.
And for all of these methods, thorough SEO (Search Engine Optimization) techniques and research should be used.
All of these methods can produce widely variable results, depending on
how you use them, and how dedicated you are in learning all the shortcuts, tricks and strategies. Let’s take affiliate marketing as an
example.
Not All Affiliate Marketing Methods are Created Equal…
When it comes to affiliate products, you can run the gamut from setting up what is basically an e-commerce store (selling other
peoples’ products) in order to supply a hungry market with highly
specialized products (with all selling blatantly up front)… to simply blogging, providing reviews on products you yourself have tried. This
can be as simple as honestly reporting your result on each product – with the major difference being that you always finish with a call to
action. Your call to action should be to tell the people who have read that far – because they’re truly interested – where to find that product
(namely: Your affiliate link!).
And if writing frightens the heck out of you, outsource. Hire a
ghostwriter. Though it’s always better to do it yourself, if you can – it carries your authentic voice. And at the end of the day, your success
will be based on how much people connect with you – and trust you! Remember that blog posts don’t have to be long – if you can say all
you need to say in 300 words, so much the better! And you’re not producing Pulitzer-prizing winning literature – you’re talking to your
reader, one on one… on a subject that’s all about her.
And just as outsourcing is a key weapon you’ll want to add to your passive income arsenal as soon as you can afford it, let me mention
another crucially important strategy: Finding a coach or a mentor, as soon as you can afford one. Most people who achieve big success
attribute it to investing in this critical step.
When should you seek a coach? Whenever you can’t see the forest for
the trees – and as soon as you can afford one. And the good news is, there are coaching options for every budget.
In short, there is a unique, viable way to create a passive source of
income to suit almost everyone. If you start out simply – and the good news is, there actually are some really simple, easy strategies
you can quickly learn and apply – you’ll find the strategy that sets your life on fire.
