Want To Learn More About Earning Additional Income?

Can be found in the Category: Leadership - 31 Jul 2006

One of my goals this year was to create an alternate stream of income. This goal has eluded me so far. It is not that I do not have ideas and even a product to sell. I am not focused on this goal and I am not taking incremental steps towards reaching this goal.

I told you I would confess? I mean tell you about my progress on my goals. Well, creating an alternate stream of income is one where I need encouragement.

My wife hit me hard this weekend as I complained about my lack of focus and even passion for any of the ideas I have cooking. She told me I should concentrate on marketing the product that we already have created. I said that it would be too much of a time commitment for her. I want her to reach a goal of finishing the first draft of her new fantasy novel.

She did not let me off the hook and went on to convince me that it was my issue. Ouch! I hate it when it hurts. I also know it is when I am about to change my mindset into one of productivity and ultimately success.

Today I need to finish one task, take one step towards marketing and ultimately selling the product we have finished. We are selling the product, but not as much as it could and should be selling.

I have often considered spending more time on this site writing about ways to create alternate streams of income, particularly in the blogosphere and the internet as a whole. There are some really great internet marketers out there that have figured out how to get more traffic to your site, how to build websites, how to get your pages indexed in Google, how to sell information products on the web, etc. The list goes on.

These are things you can do at your own pace and require as much time as you want to put into it. Obviously the more time, typically the greater reward.

If you are interested in making additional income from the internet, let me know. Email me or leave me a comment. I really need your feedback, especially from my regular readers.

    Wow — public validation! No wonder you wanted me to read this. :)

    Funny how you never really exactly let me know when I’ve gotten through to you on something. But then, I’m exactly the same way with you. It’s a good thing we both blog, so that we can actually communicate with each other. :)

    I love you and I have high hopes for you, Mr. Boehme.

    XOXO

    Ken,

    Hmmmm. I have seen the sites that you pay $50 a word with a cyan background. But all this chest and chest hair stuff.

    I am not sure I want my word on a man’s chest. What if my word doesn’t exactly work on a man’s chest. Might make some uncomfortable. ;)

    However, that being said, what is a Chench hair REALLY worth? Should I ask Mrs Chench?

    Actually I would really like to chat about SEO and marketing. I would like to find out what you have learned. I have discovered some disturbing things recently about Google’s PRs. What IM tool do you use? I have Yahoo and MSN. Drop me an email and we can chat.

    Jilly,

    You did not get through to me, for the record (publicly). I do like communicating to my wife via a pop up box, however.

    Love ya!
