このコンテンツについて

This is another My Experience podcast.

 

Today I talk about a rule I follow and refer to as the 2 + 1 rule. I describe the scenario of how I learned the hard way - that it is important to diversify your income streams, how this rule works and the lifecycle of the primary and secondary projects. Then I mention some ideas and types of work I've used for secondary project income. Then at the end I provide a recent addition to this rule - again something I've learned the hard way.

 

  • Why it's important to diversify your income
    • How I discovered this the hard way
      • Hit $0 income per week for several weeks/months before finding new work
  • What it is and how it works
    • Goal is to not hit $0 income for a week (unless you are on vacation)
    • Start with #1
    • Add as many #2 projects as you can (get at least 2)
  • Life cycle of projects
    • #1 either goes away or turns to #2
    • #2 usually can increase some when no #1 is around
      • Or turn into a #1
    • #2 also go away so have to keep adding them
  • Ideas for you in finding good #2 sources of income
    • Create a product
      • SaaS product on your own
    • Content Creation (also helps build your expertise in general)
      • Find ways to get paid for (or do for free for marketing)
        • Blogs
        • Articles
        • Whitepapers
        • Training
        • Video courses
        • Podcast
      • Small projects
        • Work for other independents
          • Find by networking with existing network (always need to be keeping up with and expanding)
          • Possibly begin a relationship via social network
        • Maintenance work (plan ahead like Avonelle does or ask previous clients) - keep good standing with clients
          • Technology upgrades
          • Tweaks or small feature additions to past projects
  • (new addition to this rule) Stay on top of it
    • How I discovered this the hard way
      • Did not hit $0 per week, but put up with half normal income for months
        • Waiting on being onboarded as a vendor too long (didn't end up working out)
        • Income was paying the bill and I forgot the urgency I should have had to jump on finding #1 again
    • If #1 goes away and you move to using #2 projects more do not wait long before looking for another #1
