How to Double Your Income: Key Strategies

Introduction

  • Doubling your income is more doable than most people think.
  • Traditional thoughts on doubling income (like asking for a raise) are usually ineffective.

Doubling Income at Your Job

  1. Ask for a Raise
    • Not likely to work but possible if you make yourself indispensable.
    • Think from an owner's perspective: How can you add to the bottom line?
  2. Get a Job at a Prestigious Company
    • Increases your value and chance of getting recruited by other companies.
    • Example: A young lady progressing through Microsoft, Google, and now Harvard/ Amazon.
  3. Further Education
    • Go back to school for a higher degree.
    • May improve job prospects but not guaranteed.

Starting a Side Business

  • A more effective way to double your income.
  • Choose the Right Business: Prefer a product-based business over a service-based one.
    • Selling insurance or credit card processing (service treated as a product).

Disconnect Revenue from Time

  • Selling a service you provide limits income. Productize part of the service.
  • Get Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) contracts to ensure steady cash flow.

Part-Time Business Ideas

  1. Ebooks and Audiobooks
    • Write and sell on Amazon; no fulfillment needed.
    • Ebooks ($200-$300/month) vs. Physical books (tens of thousands/month).
  2. YouTube Channel
    • Create content, partner with YouTube, and earn from ads once you meet criteria (1000 subscribers, 4000 watch hours).
    • Example: Author makes $40-$50k/month from YouTube.
  3. Drop Shipping
  4. Amazon Influencer and Storefront
    • Recommend products and earn a commission on everything the buyer purchases within 24 hours.
    • Example: Some influencers make millions.
  5. Affiliate Marketing
    • Promote products from sites like ClickBank and earn commissions.
    • Myron’s affiliate program offers 50% of sales.
  6. Multi-level Marketing and ClickBank Affiliates
    • Promote and earn commission from sales, with some earning significant amounts just from referrals.

Key Warning: Don’t Quit Your Job Too Early

  • Only quit when your side business makes twice as much as your job.
  • Job you dislike serves as a motivator.

Doubling Your Revenue in Business

  1. Increase Lead Generation
    • Double the number of leads through more lead magnets and opt-in funnels.
    • Use different opt-in funnels for the same lead magnet by targeting various demographics (e.g., entrepreneurs, authors).
  2. Improve Conversion Rates
    • Enhance sales skills to double conversion rates.
    • Focus on persuasion over convincing.
  3. Increase Price Points
    • Sell higher-priced products to increase revenue.
  4. Add Premium Value Offers
    • Create high-value offers (e.g., $10,000 product) and target converted leads.

Example of Success

  • A company stuck at $1.2 million/year scaled to a $1.2 million day using these strategies.

Conclusion

  • Implementing any one of these strategies can double your income or business revenue.
  • Doing all of them can drastically multiply your success.
