A little while ago, I heard Sir Richard Branson say on a Dutch televisionshow called "Nova College Tour,"
that if the people who have jobs would work fewer hours, there would be enough work for everyone! That comment stuck with me!
Most, if not all people work the hours they do, because they need the money in order to pay the bills. The majority of people
would probably love to work less and like to have more time with their families, for hobbies or volunteering. But probably
no one would agree to work less and get paid less!
So what can be a possible solution to this?
The solution can be, to set up one or more income-streams
independent of your current job. The extra income these would
provide, would make the decision to cut down on the hours you
work for an employer a lot easier. Because when you are not
solely dependent on a single income from a single source, then it
would not matter as much, would it? Hence, the plan is to set up
multiple streams of independent income! But
how do you do that?
After all, there are only 24 hours in a day and you don't want to
be working all the time! One solution may be: affiliatemarketing.
Affiliatemarketing is when you join an affiliateprogram and start
to promote (advertise) the companies' products and get paid a
certain percentage for each sale that is made through your
affiliatelink.
Start by making a list of things you love, or products you use on
a regular basis. Then do a search on the internet for an
affiliateprogram for these products. Type in the
"name+affliateprogram" and you should see tons of
results depending on the products you choose. Another
idea could be, to set up your own homebusiness doing something
you love. Perhaps you have one or more hobbies that could be
turned into a business. When you love something, you are
automatically an expert on the subject. This expertise can be
sold for cash!
Start to write down everything there is to know about your hobby
in a manner as if you were teaching someone else how to do what
you do. When you have written everything down, you now have an
(e)book that you can sell on the internet. Once it is finished,
turn it into a PDF-file and it is ready to be sold. You
don't even need to build a website to sell it. Start advertising
your ebook on adsites (see: Admall Classifieds)
and include an emailaddress where interested buyers can contact
you. Set up a PayPal-account to receive money via email and
you're in business.
When people email you, wanting to buy a copy, direct them to your
PayPal emailaddress. Once they have paid for the book, you then
send the buyer the ebook (PDF-file) via email-attachment and
you're done. Ofcourse creating a website to automate this
process, will make it handsfree, but as you see, you don't have
to do this right from the start. Check
