What is MSI, Bill?
Glad you asked! I know you've heard of it before. Probably at a damned internet marketing meetup :)
MSI = Multiple Streams of Income
I'm ALL for you having a "real job" (whatever that may be - from stay-at-home mom or dad, plumber, office assistant, analyst, or whatever).
But your job, one day, will be untenable. Either you'll grow old and will have a hard time just doing it, or the job will vanish. Or it will be taken over by a robot.
I'm not kidding. The writing is all over the wall. By 2030, 30 percent of retail jobs will be gone. Driverless trucks will displace thousands of truck drivers.
Mortgage back office work (think loan processors) will be taken over by integrated systems that talk to each other.
So buckle up. The job route is going to be bumpy.
Make no mistake: I'm not here to tell you to QUIT your job.
Nope. I'm here to tell you to hang onto that mofo as long as you can, with a big BUT...
Keep working BUT build in some side hustles. Little streams of income.
How?
There are dozens upon dozens of ways to do that. The world, as it is, is your oyster.
Like building websites? That is a skill that won't go away too soon.
Like creating interesting graphics? You will be able to do that far into the future. Not saying some smart kid with some coding background couldn't make some AI graphics tool that couldn't do that...just saying it's going to be a while.
Do you have a cool voice? You can do voice overs. Hollywood hasn't gotten rid of that job.
Yet.
Can you write? Write a book.
The point is, there is a world of opportunities out there.
Just don't wait for them to happen TO YOU. Seize the day.
One way I'm building trickles of income is through affiliate marketing. I just put together a site about keto (I may share it one day). I think I can earn a little cash from it.
Rinse and repeat. Go into new niches. Unexploited niches. Go deep.
Switching gears a bit...
One tool I bought for the old toolbox yesterday is Easy Viral PDF Brander. It allows me to make PDFs that my affiliates can insert their affiliate links into and earn money by selling my products.
This will work hand-in-hand with the niche marketing I'm focusing on right now.
Cheers,
