    What I did is to plan and plan and plan. I don't just re-invest every earning right away likewise I don't just give up every time I get a negative. I do not just put everything in one place.

    You have to isolate your problems and fix them one by one, no general solution to here.

    I know the feeling it took me 1 year to get established 1k/month earnings now 2-3k/month

    it takes time
    And ofcourse hard working
    And a good idea is to have 2-3 diffrent income streams not all the money to come from 1 thing/place ...

    I second that. To make your income more stable, you need multiple sources. Sell your own product, promote other supplementary products via affiliate programs, place some paid ads, do some consulting.

    Also, find several sources for new customers: SEO, PPC, your own affiliate program.

    Is it a product that would naturally be something that you buy every month or is a more one and done type thing?

    Diversify. Do more than one single thing.

    Once you have 1 successful way to make money
    on a monthly basis online, begin to put it on autopilot
    & learn to apply other methods.

    You can always put together a product about how you
    made so much money in so much time and sell it in the
    forums. There are tons of folks looking for solutions to
    how to make money online.

    Always be building a list if you're selling products as an
    affiliate or if you're creating your own products. Build
    your relationship with them.

    Hope this helps,
    Vince aka makingiants:)

    Did you consider giving coupons for buyers?

    As other posters have mentioned... DIVERSIFY! Don't be dependent on one website, product, service or niche. Even after you diversify, it's still impossible to guarantee consistency. But you're much more likely to be successful in the long-term because you don't have all your eggs in one basket ;)

    Many income streams, many sources of traffic and provide quality content/products for your visitors/users.
    After a few years everything will become more or less established and you won't have to worry that much about
    sustaining your income.

    You have to keep working at it. A good way is to start building lists that you can market to over and over again. With that list you can use CPA or clickbank or whatever. A really good list builder can be found at affiliatenetworkpro.info . It only requires that you have an email to confirm the sign up. You can use a backup email.

    Have income sources that are for all seasons and a few different markets.

    Have more than one income source.

    Keep creating new, original content.

    Keep in touch with your followers and friends.

    If you can get a job in real life, just get one. Having 100% of your income from online and also maintaining a normal life is very hard.

    just to be sure that you won't be losing so much money, try to invest on other things other than the online business. as what they've mentioned, you need to have other source of income since being successful in online business takes time

    Everyone makes it sound so easy to get money online, but it is insanely hard. Not sure, might try dropping it altogether. Should find a real job.

    Heh, the funny thing with me is that I can sustain the income just fine... it is bypassing the income limit which is the problem :) I could focus on one site and make a set amount at the end of the year, or focus on 10 different sites and still make that same amount. For some reason I am unable to get over that limit. Which is weird since sometimes I come across big spenders who buy everything for thousands of dollars, so why can't I attract people like that all of the time so I can become a millionaire? :)

    Some are selling product since ads are always fluctuating depending on your ranking on search Engine since it's a competition. But if you have a product online then somehow at least you can sustain your income.

    Build you subscriber base on permission based email marketing, and keep your user engagement up, get you complainers out using bullet proof headers and buttons so that people can get of the list easily, do not do coi/doi, but do a welcome letter to tell them what they will get, monetize them from the get go on all aspects, sms, email, build out an offer and host and post it via api to buyers, and also back it out with an offer that will allow you to place a pixel and make it all look like you, not third party. Bring actual value with your newsletters and more, as we did, you may need some real vc to make this all happen!
