    What income streams do you have ? Would be interesting everyone listed a few. Maybe we can share ideas.

    Right now my streams are

    1. Partime job
    2. Win2win systems ( for future income )
    3. bits and bobs on ebay, got a few Nike vandals im trying to get rid off

    Future incomes will be ( when i finish uni)
    1. Win2win systems ( for future income )
    2. bits and bobs on ebay
    3. Affiliate marketing i,e many niche websites ( thats many incomes streams in itself )
    4. Internet product creations
    5. Product reviews service (once i make a name for myself in the internet marketing scene )
    6. Selling advertising space on my website
    7. Possibly adsense if I can get a new address cause the buggers banned me for no good reason.
    8. Other adsense alternatives such adbrite if i cant get adsense.
    9. Match betting ebook
    10. Internet Coaching service
    11. Seminars via the web

    hmmm maybe im spreading myself too thin but these are all my interest that I I know i'm capable of doing.

    What are yours ?
    Making money this way lets you create your own lifestyle. No one telling you what to do because you do it.

    eg Id happily accept £2000 income a month, set my own times, do something I love over a
    £4000 income a month as an investment banker 6 days a week 10 hours a day.
    Instead of working for money ( trading your time for money ) create processes that will make you money.

    If your having problems I'll point you in the right direction if want.

    Hmmm... I never really thought about it.

    I'd say

    50% from recurring/new membership site(s).
    20% from vid clip sales.
    10% from various sales, other niches, consulting, etc
    5% from DVD/custom order req.
    5% for affiliate, etc.

    That's just a guess. On the annual, I know that I would have a bigger chunk of "misc" than 10%, and it would be a bigger percentage.

    right now my main income is gov benefits.
    My goal is to earn double that amount in as short a time as possible and then quit getting gov payments.(otherwise i'll be up the creek). Last year my benefits did stop..and i soon learnt that trying to earn money online without money is plain hard.

    So now after lessons learnt and small savings i'm planning to do the following over the course of 3months-
    -my web design portfolio site and blog
    -another niche related blog
    -adsense
    -affiliates through the websites
    -making and give away wordpress templates
    (my goal is to make about $1300weekly from template creation provided i can make enough templates per week haha/I've deliberately kept it vague as to how..only takes a bit of searching[for noobs reading this] ! )
    -I have enough resources now to create a handful of made for adsense sites.(I'll either try to monetize them or just sell them after a few months)

    Long term plans-
    -writing ebooks,perhaps podcasts or youtube videos (mainly to create traffic and a bit of money)
    -turn the orginal two blogs(1 blog is attached to my portfolio site/will be) into subscription based and include ebooks,comps,podcasts,ecourses as a recurring money source
    -continue with templates
    -create brochure sites in my niche

    i'll probably use adsense and clickbank.I'm already got an adsense account.
    Originally was going to write an ebook about 3months ago but gave up on what to write about. But now I have 2 niches I can easily write about,that won't be too hard i hope in future.
    thats all i can think of right now.

    I feel stupid for asking but what is Win2win systems all about?

    Currently I have a few different things going on. My income comprises of:

    Full time job
    Manufactoring website of military collectibles
    T-Shirt company
    Graphic design
    Website Building

    Future income:

    Ad income from 120 sites
    Auction Site

    I have a little of everything just to see what works and what doesn't. I don't want to just have one thing going either. Good question!

    Partime jobs/freelance (SEO) - just left one as I did not have enough time for my own sites. Missed some good money but thats it...

    Affiliates - the best option for me. Just started 2 big new projects in very good niches, although not much familiar to me. Hopefully these new 2 along with a couple of old affiliates I've been working with till now will bring most of my income.

    Adsense - still a good monthly income, but if I have some more sales from the affiliate programs I am likely to drop the ads.

    Ecommerce - I'll do the SEO and all the tasks about the site, a couple of friends will work on the services (a hypothetical future project).

    Link sales - never!

    Content writing services - never anymore! Hardly have time writing my own content and its not an option for me to pay freelancers for the content I place on my sites, although there are some great services around for article writing...but using them only for articles I publish on other sites.
