There’s a common saying that my Mum used to use which goes like this:

There’s a common saying that my Mum used to use which goes like this:
Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
I think at the time she was actually referring to boyfriends after I fell head over heels at the tender age of 17 with the boy who is of course now the husband!
But the advice applies to income too. Multiple income streams - with a combination of passive and active - are not just a nice-to-have for any location independent professional, they’re a must-have. It’s just too risky to rely on a sole source in the long term.

Those of you who know me, know that I don’t recommend things lightly unless I’ve (a) tried them (b) heard exceptional things about them and (c) believe in them - especially if I use an affiliate link which I have done in this post.
The course I’ve recently been evaluating meets all the above criteria and is exceptional. Created by Copyblogger, Brian Clark, the course takes you step-by-step through the process of creating content (in the form of membership sites) that sell.

I have written a brief summary of my thoughts on the course on my personal blog here >>>
Whether you decide to join the course or not, it is well worth downloading the free report - that alone gave me a huge insight which I applied immediately to one of my projects.
