I got into this Internet-based income stuff a few years ago and learned it a little at a time. The first thing I did was create some products; some ebooks and audios. They did pretty well and allowed me to free up my time to learn even more and create more free time and passive income.
I am now in a long-distance relationship; my girlfriend lives in Seattle and has a practice there. It’s easier for me to go visit her than it is for her to miss days in her practice (and income) to come visit me. Luckily I have that luxury since I have set up both passive income sources and location-independent ones.
The best location-independent source of income I have discovered is a teleseminar. I began doing them a while ago and initially used a free service (http://www.freeconferencecalling.com/). I would do a free teleseminar to create a mailing list of interested people and then try to get them to buy some related product (like my online bookwriting course). That worked okay, but wasn’t that lucrative. I was training people to expect free stuff. So I began doing paid calls in which I charged for the call, but would promise people they would get the recording afterwards if they were too busy to get in the call or they couldn’t make the scheduled time work. That was good, because I made money on each call and still a few people bought other products after the call.
Then I realized that since I had recorded the calls I could turn them into audio products or get them transcribed and turn them into ebooks or reports. That worked a bit better and I made more money. Until the day I scheduled one of these calls, charged for it and the recording function on the call didn’t work. Worse than that, it was a series of four calls and two of them didn’t record, even though I had tested it again in between the calls to ensure that it was working after the first one didn’t record. I had to spend lots of time recreating the calls. What a pain!
So, I decided to stop being so cheap and invest in a paid service that would work better and have a few more features. I found it in Instant Teleseminar. They built a cool web front end for the call, automatically recorded it as a backup in case I forgot to push the record button and also let me give slides and other links as part of the web site. People could listen over the web or on the phone. They could hear a replay after the call or get a download. I could have up to 250 people on the call rather than the previous free service’s limit of 100 people. Everything was automated and worked really well.
Then they upgraded the thing (and renamed it to NConnect). It’s even better now. You can see who is on the call. People can “raise their hand” to ask a question or make a comment and you can manage that (if you’ve ever been on a call without that ability, you know sometimes several people try to talk at once and that wastes precious time). As the host, I can raise the volume of other people on the call if their voice is softer or not coming through well. It has a noise suppressor in the line so it is much clearer.
As you might be getting the impression, I love this thing. I have signed up to be a referral person for it (and I make a referral fee for anyone who signs up and sticks with it after the free trial), because I am going to tell everyone interested in making location-free and passive income about this thing. You can sign up for a free 30-day trial (make sure you schedule some call and use it right away-even if it’s only to have a friend interview you to get a recording and create a product right away so you can see how easy to use and great it is). If you plan to do teleseminars with any frequency, this thing is really worth it. It’s really easy to set up, learn and use. I got a call set up my first time on it in a few minutes.
Use this link (it costs the same with or without my referral):
