1 Interesting Point on Sharing Income Reports
Making income claims can be super effective.
But you really want to be clear on using this strategy, to see it work for you.
I never really went the income claim route because I clearly wanted readers, customers and clients who simply wanted me to teach them how to do something, versus having readers, customers and clients who were focused solely as seeing my blog as a quick way to earn money.
I avoided many headaches and actually made more money using a no income report approach than I would have making the claims, methinks, because I'd never have aligned with such a loving, supportive tribe, who had spread my message like wildfire, who buys my products, who endorses me and who hires me.
I know folks like Pat Flynn and John Chow who have tons of success sharing income reports. These guys were clear on going this route, enjoy it and built their brand on the concept. Awesome for them, I say.
It bears thinking though; you really really really want to be clear on this idea before you go this route, or you risk attract hoards of desperate, greedy, unrealistic, fearful folks, who are looking for dough and don't want to be bothered with learning skills, helping folks, creating inspired products and services, and lifting up the IM niche.
What's your take on sharing income reports?
If you're clear on going that route, show your reports. But if not, and you are sharing your income from a desperate proving energy, you could attract a bunch of folks who are only interested in *getting*, and not much in *teaching* or *giving*.
