There are quite a few keys that are necessary to ensure success when making a living online. I’ll cover each of those keys in subsequent posts. Today, let’s discuss the Diversity Key.

I’ve found it to be extremely important to have a large, diverse set of income streams. Over the years, there have been times when one or more of my income sources have been low or non-existent for that month. If I’d been dependent upon just one or even a few sources of income, I probably wouldn’t have been able to pay the bills during those months.

Summertime, especially, is lean for me. It is absolutely vital that I have multiple sources of income so that if any of them suffer during any one period of time, the combined total of the rest will pull me through.

It doesn’t matter if an advertising source or affiliate program only made you $50 this month, as long as there are lots of other sources bringing in money for the month. Every source will dry up at times, so you want to make sure you have plenty of other income streams to make up for the lean ones.

We’ll discuss various potential sources for income streams at a later date, but for now, just add the Diversity Key to your Making A Living Online virtual keyring so that you don’t get yourself in a jam in the future.
