The paranoid shut-in's secret to protecting your income
Published: Tue, 03/03/20
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.
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 the great Dan Kennedy likes to say.
How can you diversify your income streams?
The answer:
Have several irons in the fire.
And, have them all generating income from difference sources.
Like, for example:
* PayPal and/or Stripe
* Other merchant accounts that aren’t PayPal and/or Stripe
* Kindle/Amazon books
* Client work
* Affiliate sites like Gumroad or Clickbank
* JV's (they collect money and pay you)
* Investment income
* Check and/or money transfer
* Side gigs (fixing, cleaning, painting, and other solo business options)
* Buying and reselling items on sites like eBay, Poshmark, etc
* In-app purchases via the Apple & Google Play stores
Etc, etc etc.
This way, if one income stream goes down, you aren't ruined.
And, you have the others still going strong.
This is one reason I dig on email and having a mobile app on a business level, since it makes doing this a lot easier.
But on a personal finance level this applies, too.
Thus, this week’s offer for buying the 2 eBook bundle version of:
"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* this Friday (3/6) at midnight EST, I will send you an extremely valuable pdf I call:
“The Email Players Swipe File: Volume 1”
This is an 88-page swipe file of Email Players newsletter sales letters and ad inserts I’ve included over the last 100+ issues, since 2011 when it first launched. These are mostly short, “impulse” ads that have collectively helped pull quite a bit of dough, but there are some long form sales letters stuffed in there, too. And I believe they can also make great ad "templates" (not copy & paste - only losers & amateurs do that) to model & adapt for your offers, regardless of industry, niche, or product category. And when you buy the “Stop Being Poor” eBook above, and send me your receipt by the deadline, I shalt send it to you.
But, let me be very clear about this:
You must send me your receipt by the deadline to get this swipe file, even if you buy before the Friday 3/6 at midnight EST deadline. If you send me your receipt after the deadline, well, thank you for the sale, but you won’t be getting the bonus.
To get this eBook and the bonus swipe file today, go here immediately:
