Myth Crusher Monday: It's Tough to Maintain a Steady Monthly Income Online

I just sent this out to my subscribers and thought it was perfect for Myth Crusher Monday (a new regular addition to the IM Sweetie blog).

I often see online business owners complain that there income goes through big fluctuations. Many complain of a summer slowdown. Others in the business-to-business market often say things so slow down during the Christmas and the winter holiday season. Others have some trouble keeping any consistency from month to month...and certainly they're not alone in their troubles.

Well, here's just one way to nip that problem in the bud and I've posted my email below:

--- START STEADY INCOME TIP ---

Have you ever had those times in your online business where
you earnings were great one month, but fell flat the next?
Or, you have do you often experience a few great months and
then seem to flatline?

It's so disheartening, isn't it?

It certainly does NOT have to be that way...

One way to avoid this problem is by instituting continuity
programs into your business model. You know, the type of
products that people pay for each and every month (or
whatever time-frame you set out) - offering you more steady
streams of income.

One of my favorite cost-efficient and time-saving ways to
achieve this is through membership sites. Whether you're
delivering software, tools, content and/or a way for your
target market to interact and get help....it's remarkably
relatively simple to get a membership site together, if you
know what you're doing.

And no, membership sites are definitely not limited to
Internet marketing niche. If you are reaching a market that
constantly purchases products (and I hope you are), YOU can
start a membership site.

For example:

- Scrapbookers are always on the lookout for new & seasonal
layouts.

- Dieters need support and extra help to reach their goals.

- Homeschoolers and proactive parents are always searching for
educational activities for their children

- Day traders are on the lookout for hot tips and news

- Commission sales people are always looking to improve
their salesmanship skills and bring home bigger checks.

Think about it...what is your market looking for?

If you need ideas to get your membership site started and
want to learn the behind-the-scenes techy stuff in an easy-
to-understand manner, here's good news for you.
