What Will Make You The Most Money With Least Amount Of Effort?

I haven't posted in the forum in a while I guess because I haven't had anything this powerful to post lately. I hope this benefits you fellow Warriors...

Jay Abraham once said something that changed my life (and how much money was in my bank account). I can't find the exact quote from his book called "Getting Everything You Can Out Of All You've Got," but it goes something like this: Brilliant marketing is the ability to get the most results out of your time, money, energy, and resources. Sounds simple, yet put it into practice... what if you stripped away all of the least effective marketing strategies and you were left with a list of your most powerful ones?

In my business, I take this idea and apply it to what I want. Which is a "hands-off" business. I strive to only work a couple hours per day. This only leaves time to do about 7 things throughout the week... though they're the 7 things that have the most impact.

This is what is currently making me the most money with the least amount of effort in no particular order.

1) Calls and Webinars as an Affiliate: I set up calls and webinars with other marketers who do a lot of calls and webinars for 2 reasons...

First, I love providing these free trainings for my clients and they seem to love me for it. It's excellent and powerful material. Why send my clients to just another sales page when we can have an interactive training that really benefits their business? Hosting free calls and webinars also increases buyer frequency, builds relationships, and builds authority.

Secondly, it gives me a chance to sell mid-end to high-end priced products at a higher conversion rate. Usually these are special offers like $300 off a home study course, and I'm glad to offer these deals to my clients because they're quality products and services at a discount.

2) Ad Swaps: This is a simple way to build your list big, fast, and with subscribers who have seen the marketer they know, like, and trust endorse you.

Basically with ad swaps, you set a date and time with another marketer who has a similar sized list... and you blast an e-mail for them while they do the same for you, typically sending your lists to eachothers' squeeze pages.

I like this way of listbuilding because it's insanely powerful, nearly effortless, and frees up my time to go do what I want. My longtime marketing buddy Jit Uppal who started masterminding with me since we were making an embarrassing amount of money for our efforts, grew his list from 3,500 to 10,000+ in a little over 2 months with primarily doing ad swaps. Sounds powerful, eh?

3) Bumping WSOs: Cheap. Simple. Effective. You know about WSOs. I try to have 2 in rotation at all times and just bump them. It's an easy, hands-off way to grow your business.

4) Funneling Clients Into Quality Recurring Commission Programs: For me, promoting continuity programs as an affiliate makes up a little over 1/3 of my overall income.

The way I build subscriptions with the least amount of effort is 3-fold: Promote the programs on my opt-in thank you page (build continuity subscriptions while building your list), promoting the programs in my Global Fields so that whenever an e-mail goes out clients see the offer, and sometimes through Warrior Classified Ads/Exit Popups on my websites. Have I spent any extra time and energy building continuity subscriptions? No.

5) Semi-Autopilot Blogging & Outsourcing Linkbuilding: This one is simple and hands-off.

Outsource link building, invest in some darn good PLR, have an article writer re-work the articles to make them unique, and load up the articles in a blog to auto-post 1 post per day.

How much time does this take? It takes some time loading up articles, but once they're loaded, you can sit back for even 100 days while your blog is posting content on autopilot... and your outsourcing team is building links for you.

...I was recently outsourcing some original article writing for posting at article directories at least 10 times per day. However, I found it wasn't worth my time submitting the 10 articles to the directories all day. I still blast at least 1 article each day to 400+ ezinearticles.com-like sites for backlink building.

That said, what may not be worth my time may be worth your time. The reason I say it's not worth my time is because of what Jay Abraham said combined with the type of hands-off business I want... to make the most out of your money, time, and resources (me: in 2 hours per day). Bottom line... It's not that this wasn't effective. It's that I found the time spent doing this could produce greater results by doing something else.

6) Arranging JV Deals Where Big Ticket Commissions Can Be Made As An Affiliate: Once I started selling products and services at $1,997-$5,000, I noticed about 1/4-1/3 of my income started coming from those sales.

Plus I made sure that when I sold one, I didn't have to do the work, but my JV partner did. I don't create products anymore (I may in the future but who knows) and I don't have but one service that I don't even promote because I don't want to do the work.

My JV partners don't mind these type of deals because they do the work every day and they're glad to get more business, even if it's their home study course or coaching program or high end service.

Again in this case Jay Abraham's law + what I want my business to be like... comes into play. I may be able to make more money overall by providing the big ticket product or service completely by myself, but it's still not the most effective way to utilize my time, money, energy, and resources. My goal is working 2 hours per day, so to do this work all by myself would require at least 2 more hours of work per day.

7) Hosting JV Giveaways: I'm beginning to find that hosting JV Giveaways is actually pretty easy... and it's a powerful way to generate tons of subscribers fast.

However, I wouldn't be able to host any JV giveaways if I didn't work hard in the past to build my resources and partnerships. ...Do you see my point about most results with least amount of effort in this case? What else could you possibly do besides spend a whole lot of money to build your list bigger and faster than host JV giveaways? Can you think of even 1 thing?

...So you might be wondering...

Can you utilize these 7 strategies without a list, resources, high traffic website, or funds? 1, 2, 5, 6, and 7 are honestly out of the question for most marketers. But let me say this, I worked hard to build my resources and build my capital so that I can invest back in my business. EVEN SO, even if you're not quite at the point where you can do these things, first of all print out this post so you can when you want to maximize profits from the resources you've built... You wont find this information even in many places, even expensive-to-access places.

Secondly, this idea of making the most money with the least amount of effort applies to your situation no matter what. Just get a piece of paper and write this title "What Will Make Me The Most Money With The Least Amount Of Effort?" Then list the 3 to 7 things and ONLY focus on them every week.

...And now... In the past we would share our most powerful strategies like this right here on Warrior Forum. I don't hang around enough to really know if it's the same way it was even just a couple years ago. However, whether it is or isn't, I'd like to know your top 3 to 7 strategies that make you the most money with the least amount of effort.
