Well, let’s not kid ourselves. Thing are bad. How bad. This past September, I had my worst month of the whole year. But guess what? I still broke 10K in earnings. Yes, that’s a bad month for me, but it’s certainly not a bad month. Many Internet marketers would be thrilled to have a 10K month. So, how did I do it? How have I managed to survive the most horrible financial times since the Great Depression? I’m going to share the three main reasons in this article. Pay attention. They may just save YOU as well.
At the top of the list is diversity. Unlike a lot of Internet marketers, I do NOT put all my eggs in one basket. I sell products in many niches, not just the make money online niche. Some of these niches are things that don’t suffer as much in a poor economy. As a matter of fact, some things actually do better in bad economy, such as debt relief. Who doesn’t want to get out of debt when things are going so badly? So diversification is one key to doing well when things are not going so well.
Another thing I do is run sales. Hey look, when money is tight, people are looking for bargains. So I run sales. I run them often. I’d rather sell some products at a lower profit margin than not make the sale at all. I also look for affiliate products that are on the low end of the scale. In other words, something like Nitro Marketing Blueprint, which runs close to $300, is not something I will promote heavily now. Instead I will promote products that sell for about $17 or so. They are much easier to sell when times are tough.
Finally, I get rid of all my subscriptions and things that I really don’t need. You’d be surprised how many things you pay for on a monthly basis that you have absolutely no use for. I just killed a membership site subscription and something else that was doing me no good at all. A few dollars here and there and they all add up. So make a list of all the things you’re paying for and see if there is anything that you can live without.
These are just a few ways to survive this horrible economy. Want to find out how to make a good living online all year round, good or bad times? In my signature is a great resource.
Surviving in this horrible economy isn’t as hard as you might think.
To YOUR Success,
