How To Create Online Income
To create online income, you must be able to clearly answer the following questions.
These answers are what allow you to build a targeted revenue stream instead of a generic website that struggles to make money.
Determine Your Topic & Offer
Topic
What is your topic, in one sentence.
Your Message To The World
What is your message to the world, in one or two sentences? This is your mission statement, and the reason you are doing this.
Your Offer
What is your offer, in one sentence.
If you have more than one offer, use the offer that gives you the best return in income.
Your Edge
What is your edge that makes you different from your competition? This can come from your knowledge, experience, or the passion behind why you are doing this.
Search Term
What would someone search for to get to your website? If you have a variety of topics, select the number one search term you feel most people would use. For instance, ‘How To Be Happy’ or ‘How To Be Healthy?’
Search Inquiry Answer
How would you answer their search inquiry, in one sentence?
The Money is in your Recommendation
What would you recommend your visitor do that leads them directly to your revenue stream?
Your Domain Name
Your domain name should clearly represent your topic, be easy to spell, have no hyphens, and use a .COM extension. Imagine saying your website name on the radio. The person listening should be able to remember it instantly and spell it without difficulty.
What Is Your Revenue Stream, Sales, Leads or Both
Immediate Sales Income
What is the product or service that does not create work, or creates the least work, when you sell it?
Immediate Lead Income
For lead income, what business aligns with your topic, but does not compete with it, that you can send leads to?
Lead income is the revenue stream used exclusively by the multi million and billion dollar websites like Google, Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest, Angie's List and HomeAdvisor. It is strongly recommended to include this revenue stream because it has already been proven successful by major websites.
Ongoing Income
Identify, or create, what you can offer that gives you ongoing income.
Create An Ongoing Income Program
You can create an ongoing income program using the Income Activator Membership Software. A membership program priced at $10 per month, with 500 subscribers, earns you $60,000 annually.
AI Support
Using ChatGPT can be an effective resource for creating weekly, biweekly, or monthly updates for your membership program. You can also use various AI video creation programs to enhance your updates and maintain engagement.
Email Messaging

First Impressions
Image
What image, at a glance, shows a visitor what your website is about while answering their search inquiry?
Colors
Choose colors that create the mood of what your website is about while answering their search inquiry. Ask ChatGPT what the top 3 colors are that best represent what your website does.
Unlimited Revenue Streams
Your E commerce Store
Your store can feature an unlimited number of products and services by category, including affiliate products. This also includes memberships which you can create using the membership software programs.
Your Resource or Directory Page
You can create a resource or directory page that sends an unlimited number of leads to businesses that pay you.
Promotion Is Key
Once you have established your website focus and revenue stream, you need visitors to your website.
There is significant SEO competition to get a website to the top of the search engines, and buying traffic is expensive.
Here are 5 free ways of creating traffic and income to your website.
Use Free Content & Email Messaging
The multi million and billion dollar websites such as Google, Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest, Angie's List and HomeAdvisor all use free content to generate website traffic.
Google sources website topics, Facebook uses profile content uploaded by users, YouTube uses video content uploaded by users, Pinterest uses images uploaded by users and businesses wanting leads, and Angie's List and HomeAdvisor use business content uploaded by businesses wanting leads.
You can also use free content such as viral and trending videos from YouTube that relate to your topic to create traffic and income.
Simply upload these videos directly to your website on a page that features the video alongside your revenue streams, and use your Email Messaging Service to send a link to that page to your audience.
Make sure the email includes an intriguing image and uses clickbait style wording that makes the recipient want to click and watch the video. These emails are meant to entertain, not to sell. The selling happens on your website.
You can begin with a small email list, and your list will grow as people forward the link to friends and family who want to subscribe to your topic and video content.
Social Media Promotion
Giving your content away for free on social media makes them money through leads, not you. Social media should be used primarily to drive traffic to your website.
When you post on social media, make the image or text intriguing enough that a visitor clicks through to your website, where you can generate income through leads and sales.
It should also be noted that creating consistent traffic from social media is not easy unless you already have an established following.
Interviewing
When conducting interviews there are three goals that need to be met:
A) To send interesting content to your email list.
B) To build your email list by sharing the interview with the email list of the person you interviewed.
C) To create income through sales or leads.
When your interviews are not generating traffic to your website or creating income, you need to stop and change your strategy, because it is wasting valuable time and income potential.
One strategic shift is to focus on interviewing only high profile guests with proven audiences and large email lists.
It can also be a much more productive use of your time to shift from interviewing others to being interviewed by the media, where you can reach listening audiences in the hundreds of thousands.
Free Media Promotion
The media loves expert and consumer advocate stories that are informational or heartfelt. Identify the top 5 media outlets you would want as your dream team. Then introduce yourself to the person who represents your topic. At that time, pitch a story idea you believe their audience will love, and ask which stories they are planning in the future. Many media stories are built around specific calendar dates like Valentine's Day, Tax Season, and Back To School. Ask ChatGPT what the best media calendar stories would be for your topic.
When you find a media outlet that consistently drives visitor traffic, focus on it. Do not continue working with media outlets or podcast interviewers that do not deliver traffic or conversion results.
When you get an Income Activator Website Builder, and pay annually, you are given the top 450 Radio Talk Shows in the US with listening audiences up to 100,000.
Sponsorship Income
Sponsorships help promote your business using money you are given that does not need to be repaid, while also increasing visitor traffic through mutual promotions.
When you get an Income Activator Website Builder, and pay annually, you are given 500 Corporate Sponsor Contacts. These sponsors have supported tabletop entrepreneurs to well established businesses, with sponsorships from a few thousand dollars up to $100,000 annually.
Sponsors are interested in aligning with an entrepreneur’s message, and they are also interested in reach. By identifying which media outlets give you the best reach, a sponsor may pay for advertising or even support a show or column within that media outlet.
Other Traffic & Income Strategies
There are countless traffic and income strategies available. The key is to choose the one that is most effective for you, focus on it, and consistently measure your income results against your financial goals.
Financial success cannot be achieved if you are not measuring your income results against where you are investing your time, money, and effort.
