6 Proven DIRECTIONS For Revenue, GROWTH & Success - Choose 1 Or 2
Where EXACTLY Are You Heading?!
There is the classic adage: "If you do not know where you are going, any road will get you there."
Well, guess what?
Many, MANY of us approach our business, and life, that way. With no clear goals or direction, we just stumble along and work with whatever pieces we find.
It is so very important to have a direction - at least - and know your goals and your end game.
Thanks to Flippa, here are 6 directions that you can take your business in and achieve sustainable success.
1. Build CONTENT
This is what Wealthy Affiliate (WA) teaches us to do and do well. The opportunities to learn are endless and it is up to you to CONSISTENTLY invest the time and effort needed to succeed.
2. Sales as a Service (SaaS)
This is what WA's training helped me to leverage for my professional firm. We now provide SEO, Content and Social Media services to individuals and businesses around the world.
This is a relatively simple revenue generator to create. More and more people and looking to the internet to get their brands noticed.
3. Ecommerce
An Ecommerce business is based on the oldest profession - selling. There are many ways that you can pursue this, from eBay to Shopify to your own website becoming an inventory hub.
You choose.
4. Services
Focusing on directing people towards effective and efficient services has helped me to scale my professional firm online. Through our Mailing Lists, we share information such as reviews and case studies that help people make better decisions.
5. Fulfillment By Amazon (FBA)
To make things even easier, there is nothing else for you to do than have an FBA store. You send your products to Amazon. Amazon stores your inventory until an order is placed at which time they pick, pack and ship the order directly to the customer.
This will require investment in an inventory but there are also ways to avoid that. You can support your business by using direction #1 and monetizing your website as well with Affiliate links and advertising.
This creates multiple sources of revenue.
6. Create An App
This one I love!
Look at the Profit margin - 99%!
Can you think of any offline, traditional business that generates that kind of Profit Margin and operating ease?
None come to mind for me.
What Is Holding You Back?
I know that we may have our struggles and that this business, (like any other business), may not be right for you. But, once you get through those 2 things and you have made a commitment by paying your WA fees, why are you holding yourself back?
There are so many things to learn and do and even many more ways to earn and succeed online that I am challenged to find more hours in the days and more space in my head.
I cannot keep up with all that I want to do and achieve as I continue to build my legacy.
REMEMBER:
If what you are doing now is not working for you, there are many directions that you can take to change your script.
Happy Friday!

Good morning Cassi,
Thank you so much for another informative and interesting blog post.
I think it's great that you are utilising your Wealthy Affiliate subscription and really making the most of it! It's amazing how much we can learn from just one platform.
I must admit that I am behind on the classes, there's so much content and so many things to learn! However, the great thing is that we can come back to the content and training at any time.
I have often thought about creating an app, I must admit I'm not a great lover of apps as they often don't seem to function correctly! I normally try to go to a webpage rather than an app!
However, I'm very aware that many apps are free or otherwise just a few dollars. When I see things like 6 million downloads, there is a terrific amount of revenue to be earned! One app could be life-changing!
Wishing you a great Sunday.
Roy
"One app could be life-changing!"
That is so very true, Roy.
Everything in stride though.
Keep building your content.
Have a great week.
Cassi
Thank you, Cassi!
Yes, I agree, it's important to keep focused on creating content.
Have a great day.

Hi Cassi...that's a powerful question and sometimes hard to answer. I like your response to Stephen regarding the "imposter syndrome" as it is real. Fear is a powerful emotion too that can prevent growth and keep us stuck.
Your post brings up some very valid points that are thought-provoking indeed. Have a great weekend!
Susan
All the more reasons for us to do some "Root Cause Analysis" and find the answer(s), Susan.
Otherwise, we merely drift.
Thank you and enjoy your weekend also.

Only 3% of people earn a good online income and your question is pertinent. Why, what holds people back. And a lot is fear. Fear of being laughed at , fear of rejection…or I generally just put it as mindset. Most people do not feel like they are “ good enough “ to make big money. They don’t have a picture of what is a lot of money, they are scared of asking for $10,000,000 dollars a year. I’m not worthy, people will laugh at me etc src..
Don’t be scared and work hard.
Stephen
We call this the "Imposter Syndrome", Stephen, and I was guilty of it for many years.
I recall my being and disposition when I started here, in WA.
Having just walked away from a "big job", an E-Suite, VP position and taken a public, alone stand against corruption in my birth country, I was worried that people would say I went online because I had no other options or to "hide".
And hide, I did, in those early months.
The support I received in WA helped me to rise.
The learning I benefit from, every day, helps me to grow, spread my wings and rise higher.
I could not be more grateful.
Thank you for sharing such a provocative comment.
Cassi
Haha, yes I’ve had a couple of weeks wrapped in health issues and a lot of thinking about WA. I have decided I am not here to muck around, I will go for the golden ring.
Fantastic! This helps me to delineate my focus on a couple of websites thst are idling.
Thanks, Cassi!
Rudy
Rudy, this post was actually written with you in mind and as a pre-cursor to the response that I am preparing for you.
It is good to know that you find it helpful.
Clearly, I am on the right track.
Always welcome.

Hi Cassie. we connected on a few posts last year sometime. I am so thrilled to see how far you have come with WA.
Congrats, and yes staying consistent, and working through the training, you have done amazing.
You have become my go-to person now, as I am so eager, to build my site which also is attached to my book, and upcoming consulting business.
Wonderful ideas.
The question is, are all of these ideas under 1 site of yours, or do you have multiple?
Thank you for sharing, and again, CONGRATULATIONS.
Carla
Hi, Carla!
Yes, I remember!!!! 🙂
So good to have you back.
I do have 2 websites currently that I am working on - one a whole not more than the other.
It is my professional business site that focuses on HR, OD, coaching and other interventions.
My 2nd site is the one I dabble with.
It is an MMO site dedicated to WA and online initiatives.
How is your book coming along?
