Income Strategies

• Massive Income:
• Comparable to fixing and flipping a house.
• Focus on one-time large sales that generate significant revenue upfront.
• Residual Income:
• Similar to buying a house and receiving rental income.
• Generates ongoing income over time, often through subscriptions or repeat sales.
• Two Methods of Income:
• Collecting money (subscriptions, memberships).
• Selling what you know (one-time products like courses or consulting).

Product Pricing and Scaling

• $200 Product Strategy:
• Sell a $200 product to 500 people to generate $100,000 in revenue.
• Other Pricing Strategies:
• $500 product to 200 people.
• $1,000 product to 100 people.
• $4,000 product to 25 people.
• Custom Product Example:
• If your product costs $43.33, divide $100,000 by 43.33 to determine how many customers you need (2,307 customers).

Steps to Build Income Streams

1. Create a Product: Decide what product or service can be sold for $200.
2. Target Audience: Determine how many people need to buy the product to reach $100,000.
3. Residual vs. One-Time: Decide whether to sell the product once or offer it as a subscription for recurring revenue.
4. Upselling Opportunities: Identify ways to upsell additional services or higher-value products to increase the average sale per customer.
5. Build a Sales Funnel: Develop a system that brings customers in, offers free value, and leads them to purchase products or services.

Examples and Application

• Example 1: A photography business could offer free headshots, then sell prints or digital downloads for $125 each.
• Example 2: A credit repair service could focus on bringing in 1,000 customers, each paying $100, to generate $100,000.
• Example 3: An auto service center could offer a free service, such as tire checks, to bring customers in and then upsell them on more expensive services like alignments or oil changes.

Key Takeaways

• Visualize Your Product as Separate Streams: Instead of seeing a business as one entity, break it down into multiple products, each capable of generating its own revenue stream.
• Utilize Upselling: Don’t just focus on initial sales; identify opportunities to sell additional products or services.
• Customer Service and Retention: Ensure your systems can handle the number of customers required to reach your revenue goals while maintaining high-quality service.
