You’ve all heard or read that you have to have multiple streams of income.
That’s blatant BS.
You need one single stream of income that you have locked down.
One that is consistent.
It puts money in your account every week.
It does not have to be a living income.
It just has to be consistent.
Nail that and you’re making money.
When you have one stream locked in, then, and only then, should you explore other streams.
But they need to be adjacent to your first stream.
Don’t go wandering off into a different world.
Because you don’t want to be starting from scratch.
You want to be leveraging what you already know.
Yes, ultimately you will want multiple streams, but trying to do that on start up will mean you never get even one off the ground.
So no, you don’t want to have multiple streams up front.
Pick one.
Work it until it pays off.
Automate it so you don’t have to spend 40 hours a week on it.
How fast can you get one off the ground?
That depends.
How long is a piece of string?
Actually, I know that one.
It’s twice the distance from the middle to one end.
But I digress.
When you work strategically, things can happen surprisingly fast.
To be strategic, you’ll need to know your customer and the keywords they search for.
That’s what Traffic X-Ray finds for you.

It shows you a clever system for finding the only keywords that matter.
Multiple streams sounds smart.
Broke people just call it multiple ways to fail.

Yes, I really did.
The one at the end of the rainbow.
Let me explain.
Rainbows, from the air, are circles.
Rainbows on the ground depend on your perspective relative to the location of the rain and the sun.
I was driving home from Millicent in the late afternoon.
The sun was low on the horizon, but not dusk.
A light shower of rain began when I suddenly noticed something amazing.
When you are in the rain, and the sun is low on the horizon, the circle begins and ends where you are.
That means that you are the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
That gave me goosebumps.
I was pretty sure I wasn’t a leprechaun, and there wasn’t one sitting in the car with me.
Talk about a profound experience.
You now know something that most of the population will never know.
Every time you see a rainbow, you’ll remember this.
You’ll remember that you are the pot of gold.
Here is a photograph of a full-circle rainbow.

I’ll put my hand up for this.

I’ll put my hand up for this.
I’m pedantic.
I know.
I blame my father.
One of my first memories of him was his response to what is a typical small kid statement.
“I want to put it on myself.”
His response was always, “It’d be better to put it on the bread.”
Now, he probably said this to me, but I’m more likely to remember said to one of my siblings.
That doesn’t matter, it’s the pedantry that’s important.
He taught us all to be precise in our statements.
Say what you mean and mean what you say.
That’s one of the reasons I get annoyed by some websites, some movies, some AI created videos, and some books.
If they lose track of who is telling what part of the story, or they do things that are not possible, or perhaps introduce something without any lead-in, those things break the flow, and can make me reassess their validity.
A sales page or a video sales letter that does the same generally loses the sale.
Web pages that try to do too much also fail in their purpose.
A web page has one job to do: impart information, or call for an action.
The keyword it’s built around sets up the job, get it wrong and the purpose fails.
That’s why we all need to make sure we’re all using the right keywords and build our content around them.
One idea, one keyword, one piece of content.
Find out how to get those all-important keywords right.

P.S. My wife rolls her eyes every time I point out some issue with a movie.
A suddenly introduced fact that was never established, a continuity error, a wound that keeps changing sides, etc.
The eye rolling is also usually accompanied by an “OK Brent” statement.
