Well, the predictions are out for how you will be able to generate additional streams of residual income in 2009.  Many are out there including social networking, but the biggest one I’ve seen and is in full force is continuity programs.  Yanik Silver, a well respected internet marketer, just released his Maverick Business Insider continuity program last month.  Believe me, there are others creating their own programs because it seems like every email list I’m on, they are introducing me to their own continuity program.

So what the heck is a continuity program?  Very simple.  It’s a membership that you pay a monthly fee to be a part of, that’s it.  Don’t get me wrong, with this membership fee and what I’ve seen so far, you are getting a TON of great information that if you take action, will help your business grow.  So I started thinking…And then it hit me.  I already have one and have since I started network marketing.  Not to say I won’t create another in 2009, but this one was right under my nose.  If you are in a network marketing company that has an auto ship program, which if you don’t you need to find one, you are golden.  Your customers and downline pay monthly to have the companies products shipped to them and you get a percentage of what they buy.  This is continuity built right in.  Network marketing IS your continuity program.  And the best part, they take care of ALL the back-end of the program including taking orders, taking payment, shipping, refunds, EVERYTHING and leave you to build your business.  It is a B-E-A-utiful thing.

I was checking out Yanik Silver’s blog and came across a very interesting article he posted about copywriting.  He actually shared this information at one of his copywriting workshops which he charged over $3,000.00 per person for these eight golden nuggets and much more on how to write compelling copy, but he wanted to give away something you could start implementing immediately.  Mike Dillard stated in an email that in his opinion, “copywriting is the most powerful skill in the world.  Nuclear weapons have nothing on the hypnotic power of the spoken persuasive word.  If you have not invested in this skill, and mastered this power, you are for the most part…Powerless.  Those who have mastered the skill of copywriting, dominate this market.  They produce the most leads, sell the most products, sponsor the most people, and make the most money.”  Yanik and Mike are not the only internet marketing guru’s that express how important learning how to write effective copy is.  Any marketer will tell you the number one skill to acquire is that of effective copywriting.  So, check out your bookshelves.  Do you have a flood of courses and books on writing compelling copy?  If not, Mike says you are making a HUGE mistake.  This is where he started and what changed everything for him.

Also, one of Mike Dillard’s favorite resources on copywriting is The Ultimate Sales Letter by Dan Kennedy.  This is a great way to start and you can pick it up from Amazon or your local bookstore for $10-$15.  Another one of Mike’s top picks is Scientific Advertising by Claude Hopkins.  You can find the free PDF by simply doing a Google search. 

So, let’s start building a list with some of the copywriting courses and books that you have read and received great value from.  Please leave a comment with your top choices.

 To your success,
