Hi everyone, Anthony Moore here and welcome to the video

Five simple non-ad-related income streams you can incorporate into your site. Now, as we know, ad revenue is a massive and very popular income stream for most websites
0:23
It's a very natural fit for your content. But in this video, we're going to talk about some different non-ad-related income streams
0:30
can use into your site starting today, starting this week. Now, we're going to break down each one of these income streams and how you can apply it
0:36
into your site. Let's begin. Number one, online courses. Now, I'm a publisher myself and I've been one for 10 years
0:45
And when I first started out, I began to realize that my field, which was how to videos on
0:50
money, finance, relationships, personal growth, that field lent itself very well to simple
0:56
how to online courses. The problem was I never made it on an online course
1:01
I had no idea how to use film or microphones or cameras and I didn't know what to do
1:06
Well, I took my first crack at it. I had my little old laptop webcam and no microphone and a handwritten script
1:15
That was it. And it took me about three weeks to record four or five videos, about 10 minutes long
1:22
and I wrote relevant blogs to those videos. And I compiled everything all at once
1:28
It wasn't fancy, it wasn't sexy, it wasn't complicated, it was just me and my old computer
1:34
webcam and handwritten script. Now, there were lots of things I couldn't do and had no idea how to do, things like graphic
1:41
design, website coding, publishing everything to make it look nice and pretty
1:45
I'm a contact creator, not a graphic designer. So what I did is I hired some very cheap, inexpensive freelancers to do those difficult tasks
1:53
for me. Things like designing a logo or creating nice, clean-looking, PDFs, publishing everything so it fit seamlessly, and the video editing looked really good
2:03
The result was I started to make my first sales. I attached a $27 price tag to it. I had no
2:09
idea what I was doing, and I made my first few sales. Having an email list really helped
2:13
and my monthly traffic was all directed towards buying this online course. Now, I started to work
2:19
and after a few months, I was getting about one sale a day consistently, sometimes up to five
2:24
even 10 sales a day. It was honestly amazing. to be able to wake up some days
2:29
and before I even made my morning coffee, I made two or three sales
2:33
consistently every single day. The truth is, online courses don't have to be hard
2:38
especially if you're not a natural at creating all this video stuff, right
2:43
I use lots of software to help me. I use one called ClickFunnels, which helped me to design everything myself However there all kinds of other free and simpler tools that creators like you can use Tools like Udeme and teachable These are free online course tools that simply
2:59
allow you to plug in all your content there, the price being they take a small cut of every
3:04
sale you make. Online courses are actually really simple to make. All you have to have is a
3:09
webcam, a working internet, and a small handwritten script. The rest you can delegate out
3:14
to freelancers and tools that can do the work for you. The next non-ad-related income stream is coaching programs
3:24
Now, coaching programs are just another way to deliver your content to users, usually in a one-on-one or one-to-group settings
3:32
Now, coaching programs are also an excellent upsell from online courses. If you're getting students in your courses, you're invariably going to get students who want more information, you have more questions, you have more thoughts on that field, and you can upsell them with coaching
3:47
programs, giving them access to you in one-on-one or one-to-group coaching settings
3:53
Now, coaching programs might be the most lucrative income stream we're talking about today
3:58
because you can realistically charge a ton of money if you can deliver a commensurate result
4:04
It doesn't matter what field you're in, if it's cryptocurrency or healthcare or home decoration
4:08
if you can provide value to your students. Commezer with what they pay you, they're going to be willing to pay you
4:14
You have to deliver value equal to your price. Here are five simple steps to create your first coaching package
4:23
Step number one, send out a simple one question survey to your audience and ask them
4:28
what's your number one biggest problem with your niche? Try to collect about 25 to 50 answers and be sure to collect their emails
4:38
Step number two, comb through the responses and find the most common problem
4:43
Step number three, reach out to every person who had that specific problem, the most common one
4:49
Step number four, call them. Yes, over the phone if possible, and ask them to explain in their own words about that problem
4:57
Write down everything they say, especially how they phrase it. Step five, put your findings into a simple sales page talking about the number one most common problem and how you intend to fix it
5:09
There are countless sales page templates out there that you can use, but you will
5:13
want to put in as much of the information they told you as possible
5:17
Use their own words, their own phrases, so that when your audience reads it, they think
5:21
you're speaking directly to them. If you're wondering how much to charge, you can do a simple $100 for an hour of coaching
5:27
to start. You can gather testimonials so you can raise your prices and raise your program over time
5:33
The third non-ad related income stream is book sales. Now, I know what you're thinking
5:39
You probably think that you need some kind of agent and a book proposal and a lot of long manuscript and trying to pitch this book proposal to all kinds of publishers As somebody with self and traditionally published books I can tell you that writing a book now is easier than ever for your site
5:55
It's true that if you want to have a traditionally published book, one that appears in bookstores, you're going to need some kind of agent or book proposal
6:01
You don't need to do that for this income stream. Let's talk about self-publishing an e-book, something I've done multiple times, and I've built thousands of dollars
6:10
on thousands of subscribers to buy this book. Now, self-publishing a book might seem hard, but think about it this way
6:17
Michael Hyatt, he's a very popular content creator and a bestselling author
6:21
He compiled a list of his most popular blog posts, about 30 or 40 of them
6:27
and tweaked them to be a chapter in a long book with 30 or 40 chapters
6:32
He published that book. It was called Platform, How to Get Noticed in a Noisy World, and it became an instant bestseller
6:37
And it was just the content from his blog. He barely had to write anything new
6:41
It was already there. You can use the data and popularity of your past top performing blog post and fit them into an ebook
6:50
Next is designing and publishing and all the technicalities behind publishing a book, which is very difficult
6:57
And you don't have to know how to do that. Again, we can rely on freelancers and other experts to do it for us
7:03
What I did for my self-published books was I hired freelancers to design the cover
7:07
to format it to Kindle and E-reader kind of devices, and I didn't have to do any of that
7:12
They did all the work for me. All I did was create the content, and I handed it to experts to make it look nice for me
7:18
You can also upload it to Amazon's KDP program. That's their Kindle Direct Publishing Program
7:24
which allows you to put your book on Amazon, and they can print it on demand every time a sale is made
7:32
giving you a physical copy of your e-book. Hopefully, you realize you now that sub-publishing
7:37
an ebook is much easier than you might have thought. It's a great upsell for your online courses and coaching programs
7:42
It can be a relevant resource for those products, and you can publish it very quickly
7:47
Again, you can use your past content and optimize post to see which blogs perform best
7:52
tweak them, and put them into a book. The fourth income stream we're talking about is syndicating your content
8:00
Now, there are plenty of high-quality third-party platforms that encourage writers and content
8:05
creators to publish content on their site, which they'll pay you for, actual money, to do that
8:11
Now, some of these sites include places like medium.com, cora.com, newsbreak.com. There's all kinds
8:16
of great resources where these companies are encouraging kind of careers like you to publish on
8:21
their site, which they'll pay you actual money for. In many cases, you can just use your old
8:26
content on your blog and repost that on these sites Now this is different than duplicate content This is syndicated content because you own it and you can link back to the original article But you should know what Google policy says about this In Google words if you syndicate your content on other sites
8:43
Google will always show the version we think is most appropriate for users in each given search
8:48
which may or may not be the version you'd prefer. However, it is helpful to ensure that each site on which your content is syndicated
8:55
includes a link back to your original article. You can also ask those who use your syndicated material to use the number
9:02
no index meta tag to prevent search engines from indexing their version of the content
9:07
Of course, you should follow Google's policy on this, and it might update over time. But the result is the same
9:12
If you're already publishing great content on your site, why not repost that to other places where your audience already lives
9:18
Adding your existing and future content from your blog to these sites is an excellent way to maximize your revenue and get more subscribers in places your audience already exists
9:28
Why not post there to reach more audience, more people, and get more people on to you
9:32
your blog. The fifth non-ad-related income stream is membership access. Essentially, this is a monthly subscription that some of your users and readers will pay you
9:45
to access certain parts of your site. Now, this has become a very normalized and popularized income stream because there's always
9:52
going to be a percentage of readers on your site who want more from you, more of your content
9:57
more of your opinions, and more of your information. Now there's all kinds of great third-party tools that can help you do this
10:03
Substack is probably the most popular email newsletter that has readers pay to be part of that subscription
10:11
There's other tools like Ghosts that are also helpful as well. Now, the way these programs work is that your audience pays a small monthly subscription, maybe $510
10:20
to have access to exclusive gated content. You can provide more specific content or more nuanced or more hidden features behind
10:28
your paywall that regular readers can't access. Now, a few extra dollars a month per subscriber might not seem like a lot, but multiply a $10
10:38
subscription times 50 or 100 or a thousand. And you can quickly see how big this income stream can get
10:46
Now, the key here is to make content that is actually worth it, worth subscribers to pay money for
10:51
Be very specific with the quality of content you get for. Make sure it's exclusive, it's gated, and not available anywhere else
10:57
You can leverage your personal story, your experiences, and any insider info that you have that most contemplators don't to get people to want to pay for that information
11:07
In conclusion, tools like Ezoic are going to be amazing in helping to increase your ad-related revenue
11:13
But there are plenty of non-ad-related income streams you can incorporate into your site
11:18
I was able to incorporate all five leads income streams and more to develop a six-figure publishing business for myself and you can too
11:25
which income stream is best for you
