Warriors! Do you dream of hitting it big someday?
When you wake up in the morning do you curse the daylight, or do you start the day with your visions in front of you? Sometimes, when things get tough, we start to wonder what the hell we are doing. Why are we putting ourselves through this?
We work 20 hours so we can make money in our sleep… but is that really why we do it?
I retired from my job in 2008.
My first year in retirement, I struggled. I had no regular income – everything I earned went to the bills, I had built a list over the last few years, but in my desperation to keep money flowing in, I burned out my list. Boy did I burn them out.
Money that used to come in monthly from affiliate commissions slowed to a trickle. I had violated one of the first rules of list building. I hadn’t kept on building the list, and I was promoting up to 4 times a day. So as attrition continued, I began to worry about how the bills were going to get paid.
A friend of mine told me about a program that was in prelaunch in the summer of 2009, and since I liked what the product was (hosting and autoresponder service), I promoted it with all I had. In 6 months, I had built that into a $1500 a month business. Now the bills were getting covered, and the checks were coming in on a regular basis. So I began to take time off. A lot of time off.
I would spend an hour or two posting some products, and once a week (if that much), I would send an email to my list. Somewhere in all of this, I had a thought in my head that I needed to add an income stream. But I was not looking all that hard for it. Some opportunities came around, but I was not excited by them, so I did not do them justice and I did not get the results for them, either.
It was odd to see myself (as I look back on myself now) going into another decline. I reached a point where I was not promoting anything to my list for months at a time. Maybe I was just believing what others were saying about the economy. I was also helping other marketers with their projects (for no pay), and not spending any time developing anything of my own.
It wasn’t until this summer that I realized I was not in as good a position as I had been just two years ago. I had restarted mailing my list 5 times a week. I was posting WSO’s on WSOInsiders.com and on the Facebook Fan Page, and getting some results. But I was in a position similar to 2009. I had income from the Hosting For Profit commissions still coming in, but I had increased my spending: a larger house, satellite TV, High Speed Internet. Suddenly it looked like I would have to find another source of income.
The same friend who brought the Hosting For Profit system to my attention contacted me about a way to save money on my cellular bill. I was paying $90 a month for 700 minutes and unlimited text and data… he showed me a company that allowed me unlimited calling, text and data for $49 a month. I immediately switched, and because this company has an affiliate program that gives you a piece of the action, I was able to turn that around to the point where I had turned my cell phone bill into an income stream! http://49dc.co is the site you should check out to get more information on how you could do the same thing.
And now, I am putting myself into building this income stream for all it is worth. The thing that I really love about the company is that they are not pushing the dream of creating thousands of millionaires… but rather, they want to create millions of thousandaires!
If you could use an extra thousand dollars a month, then I can help you. It requires a small commitment (very small if you act before the end of December…) and a willingness to share with your social circle. While supplies last, you can get a ZTE Origin phone Free (after rebate) and one month of free service.
This is the best time to get started! You get a cool 3G smartphone, and you have a chance to start earning bonuses and a residual income for simply telling others how to save money on something that we all use.
