Passive Income Update!

Here is an update on how much I am making in passive income on a daily basis. Remember, when I say passive income, I mean income that I do not have to really do anything over 15 minutes of preparational work. Drumroll please!!!! My daily total at this time is $13.08 per day. That is $392.40 a month, in other words, a car payment!

Next goal is $20.00 per day in passive income, I am only $6.92 away...

Reading For Success

Ever since childhood, I have been an avid reader. I was an only child so I would spend my summer days lost in adventures of the written word. Not all of my reading material was based in fantasy, I was also interested in biographies of people who had lived accomplished lives. I learned a lot from reading and I still read everything I can get my hands on now.

These days most of my reading material are on subjects that will benefit my personal growth whether it is spiritual or financial. I want to learn everything and some days it feels as if I am on information overload. What do I read? Right now, I am reading "Angela's Ashes" by Frank McCourt for fun, "Empower" magazine for personal/financial growth and a textbook (that I won't bother to mention) for school. All my reading materials enrich me in some way and if I can't read for some reason then I listen to success lectures on CDs. The point is, I am always obtaining knowledge of some sort...

To Gently Persuade

If you are trying to sell products, virtually or otherwise, you are in the business of persuasion. What is persuasion? It is the act of getting someone else to do something that is a bit out of their usual comfort zone. Of course, this is usually the case when you are trying to get someone else to part with their hard earned cash. You have to make them see that the whole point of their existence would be lacking if they are without your product. You have to create or show the actual benefit of your product.

People usually respond to one of three basic modes of persuasion:

· Emotional - This goes back to the idea of making your customer feel as if their world will end if they do not purchase your product or service, right now, today!
· Logical – This is when you appeal to your customer’s sense of what is valuable to them. They are actually able to see how this product will benefit their lives.
· Credibility – This is the one that makes even the bravest newbie cringe, the need to be a credible voice about the product. Never fear this can be accomplished by gaining actual knowledge of the product and even better, being a satisfied customer yourself.

The art of persuasion is as old as begging your mother for just one more cookie, you can and will be able to do this! I actually use the products from Berry Tree and Nutronix, so I can relate how I feel about them in a positive way. I have found that appealing to the customer on a human to human basis works best for me. Everyone is a potential customer who either wants to use your products or wants to make extra money; they just don’t know it yet.


See you later...

Is Your Mind On Your Money?

Do you know how much you make a day? Do you know how much you need to make in a day to live successfully? I know that an extra $50 dollars a day is an extra $1500 a month, what could you do with that? For me that is a house note and car payment. I want you to think about the reality of setting you daily money goals, what will it take to get you where you want to be?

How much time would you be willing to put into finding ways to make an extra $50 a day? I am currently learning how to get passive income to work for me and I am in a company called The Berry Tree, which I love because I actually use the products! This is my assignment for you: find out how much you make a day and how much you want to make a day. Then list the steps you need to take in order to make a $1 a day, then $2 a day- start small because that is how you make your goal a reality.

Talk to you, later!

School, What Does It Have To Do With Daily Payday?

What does the topic of school have to do with "My Daily Payday"? Well, finishing my education could equal a future hike in pay and possibly a savings as I will be able to do my own web design and programming. The result being that I will not have to bother with hiring anyone to do those tasks for me.

I am working on earning a degree in Information Technology, in part, because most of my work has to do with being on the computer. And I need to learn how to utilize every aspect of the Internet if I am to master the ways of Internet marketing.

But getting back to the subject, school equals money received from financial aid (which, in my case, is mostly loans as school is not a free ride for me) and it represents the raise in income that comes with having a higher education.

If I had done things the right way, I would be up to my elbows in scholarships right now. But, I am told it is never too late to apply for scholarships and if I can get my life to slow down a bit I might be able to actually fill out an application or two. A while back, I signed up with "Fast Web", which is a site that pulls together all the scholarships one might be eligible to receive. They often send email alerts for scholarship application deadlines, but I am so busy that I usually ignore them. Which is, of course, not the brightest thing to do because I am potentially passing up good money!

That's it for now, have to do some actual "work" for my work at home income streams... Ciao!

Mentors

Finding a great Mentor should be a priority for every new network marketer or home business owner. Your mentor may be an upline member who doesn't mind sharing tips and helping you develop your business. Or, it could be someone you meet in a business forum, networking group or meeting who will take you under his or her wings to show you the ropes.

Right now my mentor (who I doubt knows that she is) is a lady who I will call "Blondie" for now. She has a blog that she diligently writes on a daily basis about the business endeavors that I have an interest in. Her blogs are always an easy read and get right to the point. She also has a way of being very personable and writes as if she is the lady next door. You can take a look at her blog by going here: http://blondesmakemoney.blogspot.com/. I think you will learn a lot from her and she knows people who "know" people.

Another good mentor that I know (not personally) that I like to listen to when I need a good uplift to get me going in the right direction is Dani Johnson, she has been successful in network marketing for years and has "been there and done that". She is probably one of the most outstanding female inspirational speakers that I have come across. You can find out more about her here: http://www.danijohnson.com/.

Thats it for now, I will be back later...

Making Dough!

To say that this is a one of a kind blog would be stretching it a bit. I am sure there are better blogs on this subject, but this is about how I get paid daily (or not). I tend to like to see things in the perspective of how much money I will make for the day, and believe me when I say that some days my online endeavors provide me with zero dollars. This is an attempt to focus my attentions more on what I need to do and perhaps I will be able to help someone else find their way as I am finding mine.

I am not a writer, but I am determined to tell my daily story on what I am doing to get paid... so keep that in mind as I tell you how I am planning my path to becoming well-off if not just plain wealthy. So welcome if you join me in my journey!
