What High Gas Prices, Inflation And A Falling Dollar Mean For Your Online Business

OK, now THAT’s a weird title for a post on a blog like this.

But, all kidding aside, I have a point to make today. An important point – especially giving the times we find ourselves in. My aim is to help people as much as possible, and I figure I’d be doing a disservice if I didn’t talk about this a bit.

Usually, our little blogging and social media bubble doesn’t talk much about the “real world”. That stuff is relegated to the news headlines and the political talking head shows.

Forget About Selling Ebooks. Here’s Something Better…

So, let’s do a tiny bit of math here. Yeah, I know. But, this is the fun kind of math.

So, a lot of bloggers think about selling an ebook to make money. They’ll drop a brain bomb into a word processor and turn around and offer it for some low price.

Let’s say $17. Nice round-about price which ends in 7. Heheh…

So, you go through all this work and you make some sales. Let’s say you manage to sell 100 copies. Gross revenue $1,700.

With me? Cool.

Here’s the problem…

The Quickest Path To A Market-Ready Membership Site [VIDEO]

You’ve probably heard by now how awesome a membership site is. It really is the hottest online business model going right now. Not only that, it is ideal for bloggers.

The possibilities with a membership site are many. While a recurring revenue model is nice, it isn’t necessary.

Even My A/C Repairman Offers A Continuity Program!

I got a little chuckle out of this. And it is an example of smart business.

Not the bone-chilling cold of a northern state, but more like the “oh, look at the cute little cold Floridian!” kind of cold. We ran the heat in the house. The problem is that it didn’t work very well. The outside unit wasn’t running, so it was running on auxillary electrical heat and just barely keeping up.
