The paranoid shut-in's secret to protecting your income
Published: Thu, 09/06/18
Once upon a time, I was talking to my droogie Doberman Dan when he told me about how his merchant account was suddenly shut down out of the blue.
No indication.
No warning.
And, no reason whatsoever.
(His track record was "hounds tooth" clean.)
Someone in ye olde bureaucracy decided he was high risk.
And that was it.
Then, they shut his back up merchant account down, too!
Luckily, he has a back up of his back up and was okay.
But this sort of thing can happen to anyone.
So since then I've been kinda paranoid about it.
After all, you can't control the merchant account peoples' decisions. But, you CAN control your income streams so that all your income doesn't come from one source. "One" being the most dangerous number in business as Dan Kennedy (who knows a thing or two about this stuff) likes to say.
So, how can you diversify your income streams?
Easy...
Have several irons in the fire.
And, have them all generating income from difference sources.
Like, for example:
* PayPal
* Your own merchant account
* Kindle
* Client work
* Clickbank
* JV's (they collect money and pay you)
* Investment income
* Check and/or money transfer
Etc, etc etc.
This way, if one income stream goes down, you aren't ruined.
You have the others still going strong.
This is one reason I dig on email on a business level, since it makes doing this a lot easier.
But on a personal finance level this applies, too.
Thus, yesterday's offer for buying the eBook:
"Stop Being Poor"
(Which, amongst other things, shows you how to wipe out debt while building wealth.)
And, if you buy it from my affiliate link below, and forward me your receipt *before* tomorrow, Friday (9/7) at 11:59 pm PST I will send you an extremely valuable 10-minute video that reveals a secret way I use to make all my claims, headlines, bullet points, offers, stories, and other verbiage in my ads (emails, sales copy, whatever it is) far more credible, believable, and more likely to close the sale.
I first learned this lesson over 10 years ago.
(In a hard-to-find interview between two of the greatest copywriters who ever lived)
And, it can add many extra sales to all your marketing.
And, if you do client work, make you look like a hero when those extra sales roll in.
Plus, I have found it makes getting ads approved by clients a lot faster, too.
But, let me be very clear about this:
You must send me your receipt *by* the deadline to get this invaluable video, even if you buy before the 9/7 at 11:59 pm (PST) deadline. If you send me your receipt after the deadline, well, thank you for the sale, but you won’t be getting the bonus.
