Are you creating multiple streams of income?

Here are some of techniques I have been using for the last couple of years to generate multiple streams of income online.

Using Email Marketing

Email marketing is the Internet equivalent of direct marketing. You can send emails to anyone you choose, and all you need are email addresses. The promotional emails can offer interested people information about your website, products, or services. In the email, there will be embedded links taking the customer directly to the location on your website where he or she will find what is being promoted.

Email marketing should never degrade into a spam campaign. Spam is unsolicited emails. Sending mass emails to people who have not requested the information will probably not generate any website traffic, and thus, no income either. But you will manage to annoy a lot of people and give your company a bad reputation.

Using Search Engine Optimization to Increase Web Page Rankings

Search engine optimization is the process of designing a website so that it appears high on the list of search engine results after someone does a particular search. Search engines are sets of software, like Google or Yahoo, that collect information on websites and then produce website rankings.

Search engine optimization involves using keywords that are collected by the search engine crawlers. The statistics are used to create the non-paid rankings. The theory is that the higher a webpage is ranked, the more traffic that will be driven to a website. But there are millions of pages on the Internet now and not everyone can make it onto the first page of search results simply through keyword use. That is why it's important to use a variety of marketing strategies to generate income.

This is just my experience please do share yours!

    Imho, Email Marketing should be the Foundation which your Streams siphon into.

    At least for me it's not a Stream in of itself.

    You do SEO and pick up Organic Traffic that are "siphoned" into your List of Subscribers with Email Marketing.

    You do Article Marketing to "siphon" new leads into your Funnel for Email Marketing.

    You tube Marketing etc..etc...


    Hope that clarifies it

      Absolutely right! your funnel is the mouth of the river where all the streams of traffic converge on..

      once you know what each lead is worth then that's where the real magic begins!

      As a marketer you should be. Never put all your eggs in one basket. I have off the top of my head at least 5 different sources of online income that comes in.

    Sorry, but what you have described, Email vs. SEO is NOT multiple streams of income.

    Those are just two different methods of advertising.

    They are just two methods of getting traffic to your actual revenue stream and both are often used.to get traffic for the same revenue source.

    They are NOT, in and of themselves, iincome streams.

      I think that is a very fair and accurate statement.

      90% of my business is generating leads and at any given point, I'm generating many different type of leads.. So for me, multiple cost effective traffic stream, is multiple income streams. But only because, I always have multiple lead types.

      However, if I was only producing one type of lead and it was to die. Then all the traffic streams in the world, aren't going to help me.

      At the same time. I can have multiple leads types, but if I only had one traffic stream and that traffic stream dies. All the different types of leads, aren't going to help me.

      So you really need to have both parts...an asset that is monetizable and traffic that converts the asset into revenue. Then by having multiples of them, you have multiple revenue streams.

    I have to agree with Sid. You can email people all day long. You can apply never-ending SEO to your web site and never see a dime for your efforts. You don't create income streams by participating in these practices.

    Income streams are created by offering prospects goods and services that they purchase . . . and it entails a whole lot more than just mailing and doing SEO.

    I think you may misunderstand multiple streams of income...

    Not trying to talk down or anything just trying to help

    Multiple streams of income refers to different forms of income

    For example my streams of income are currently
    1. Real estate (I have several rental property's )
    2. Stocks (through dividends and interest)
    3. My ebook sales
    4. Email marketing (new to online income just started this one 3 weeks ago)

        I was kidding but seriously, those are the exact words a close friend of the family once told me years ago. That was coming from a guy that was once the vice president of the 3rd largest US bank.

      That's got to be the easiest way of making money I've ever heard. Why don't we all do this? Apparently, there's a market for it.

      Personally, I keep four to five streams of income going at any given time, but one of them is always my MAIN one, which brings in most of the money. The others are supplementary, but could be boosted to a main source of income if the current main one dried up. It's important to not keep all your eggs in one basket, especially with making a living online.

    Sorry but you've completely missed the target on this one...
    Like people who actually know what they are talking about have said, those are NOT "income streams"...

    Email marketing and SEO are not streams of income but ways you can increase the income that flows through your funnel. They are techniques, channels or methods you use to improve your marketing. You can integrate the two to improve the results you get.

      agreed, the headline and the post are a bit mismatched..

      but the OP makes some good points.

    In small and medium business, social media, especially Facebook, helps your business a lot. It's not only get traffic, get engagements, get visitor via social its also help you to build your brand awareness, sell your products, your services quickly with cheaper cost. With Facebook, there have many types of advertisement on it and base on your business you want, you can run each ads types belong to it, example: CPC, Boost post, Get like, Get lead, video view,...
    So that beside SEO is my main source to drive traffic, I also use Social media content and Social Ads to get traffic too. I hope these ways will increase my traffic faster.

    Good luck to you!

    Agree with this => they are two different methods of advertising

    YES I'm using multiple streams of income because it is better than 1 source only ( one stream is producing $6K per month)
