Happy Hallowe’en: Part 5

Little Bo Peep has found her sheep!

This little sheep has a problem with spit-up, but I figure she’s still cute.

Almost Famous: My Interview on SmallBizSanity.com

Small Biz Sanity InterviewI recently had the pleasure of chatting with Vonette Booker-Brown for an interview she was publishing on her website SmallBizSanity.com. We talked about my beginnings as an entrepreneur and how I got to where I am now - loving my work and enjoying life. :-)

Read the interview here.

(On another note, the written interview is based on a 20 minute phone conversation we had and she did a bang up job. Definitely a talented writer who happens to offer her writing services here.)

I Gave Myself a Raise With a New Membership Site

Back in the spring I had a brainstorm for a new membership program. I grabbed my virtual notepad and quickly jotted thoughts out and saved the document on my desktop for later. I love those terrific ‘lightbulb’ moments, especially those bulbs that have great long term income potential.

I already own and partner on several membership programs. They provide reliable income month after month which as you can imagine is quite appreciated.

If I had to rely on hundreds of individual sales for the same income, I’d be working a lot harder and most likely spending more to support my efforts.

I launched my brainstorm (Blog Evangelists) this summer. Once again, I opted to partner with the techno-friendly Lynette Chandler. The launch went well and we continue to add new members to our program so for the last three months we have enjoyed a nice boost in income.

There are all kinds of membership/residual income programs that you can create to compliment your existing business. Coaching or consulting, premium newsletters or reports, access to services, access to software, product clubs and more. I blogged this summer about several work at home moms who are operating membership programs - here’s a partial reprint of the list I included there:

Seeing how others are adding residual income to their businesses is very inspiring to me and I hope it is to you as well.

For Additional Learning: Lynette and I created Membership Site Intensive to teach others how to develop and profit from residual income programs.
