A well-managed company can realize the opportunity to gain market share by taking customers away from their competitors.

10 Income Streams You Can Add to Your Business (And Increase Your Bottom Line)

by Michele PW

 

In a nutshell, multiple streams of income means your business has more than one way to make money. For instance, you sell products and you sell services. Those are different streams of incomes. But that’s just the beginning. Below are 10 ideas of different income sources you can use to increase your business’s bottom line:

1. Sell a variety of services. Or you can bundle your services into packages depending on what your typical client is looking for. But be careful about this one. Don’t spread yourself too thin. You want to offer a few different services or a choice of packages, but you don’t want too many options because it’s very difficult to market yourself effectively.
2. Sell your own products. These can be information products (books, home study courses, CD’s, special reports, etc.) or they can be physical products. You can also group similar products into product lines. Then you can upsell, downsell or cross-sell products to different customers on your list.
3. Sell other people’s products (or services). Here’s where you become an affiliate. Basically how it works is once you’re approved to be an affiliate, you get your own link. Anytime someone uses that link and buys a product, you can get a percentage of the sale. That percentage can be anywhere from 10 percent (mostly for services) to more than 50 percent. Read more
