3 Income Producing Activities You Must Do Each Day

Do you know your DMO? - Rhonda Swan

A DMO is your daily method of operations. When you put into practice daily tasks that will actually produce income, you will get a return on your time investment.
Most people, myself included when I first got started building our business, we focused too much on the how and not the important money making tasks. If you’re building a Network Marketing business, so many get hung up on the product features and the science behind it all, and the compensation plan. How to do social media, building a blog, watching guru videos, studying this and studying that…
The next thing you know, a month has gone by and all of the so called “income producing activities” you were working on, didn’t bring in a dime.

Stop wasting time. Start Making Money.

A lot of us, when we just start out in our home business, have a limited amount of time because we have so many other commitments to attend to. Like a J.O.B., our families, hobbies etc.
Well, if you’re spending all your time doing Non-Income Producing Activities such as the ones listed above, you are setting yourself up for nothing but frustration and disappointment.
I’ve seen many people walk away from online marketing, because they have put in a lot of time without any return. That is why I’m so passionate about giving my tribe step by step instructions of what they can do each day to generate leads and ultimately produce income.

TOP 3 Income Producing Activities You MUST Do Each Day.

In order to break away from the time wasting activities and actually start making money as an online marketer, there are 4 income producing activities that you MUST do every day. It is so important that you focus your energy on the things that will bring in the greatest return.

1. Place Ads To Generate Leads Or Sales


In order to reach your target market with your valuable services, you need to place ads. We run thousands of dollars through our Facebook ads every month to generate our best leads. Through the use of Facebook ads, you can generate warm leads every single day.
Not sure how to place effective ads? We get that question all of the time, which is why we have created videos in the Freedom-preneur Academy that will teach you exactly how to do this.
Here are a few tips to get you started on developing your own lead magnets.

2. Host Webinars, Hangouts, or Use Facebook Live

Everyday, look for ways to give your followers value. One of the best ways to do that is by hosting webinars, hangouts, or use Facebook Live. People want to connect with you on a more personal level while learning from you. Using live stream videos where people can ask you real time questions and you answer is so helpful.
At the end of your webinars, hangouts, and videos, you need to present a call to action. Where can they learn more from you? Lead them to an outlet that you can earn from, such as a lead capture page.
Every Wednesday night, we host the Freedom-Preneur Show in order to add more value to our followers. Each week, we bring on experts that are highly knowledgeable and that can deliver great information to those listening in.

Productivity Tips When Traveling

Productivity Tips When Traveling

Productivity Tips When Traveling

Managing your time when you have a yearly calendar loaded with travel is not a simple thing to do. Based from my own experience of a busy travel laptop lifestyle running my digital business and attending events around the world, here are some tips to keep you on schedule despite being away from home (even if you are working off your laptop):
1. Hire Well
Before you go away there are a number of tasks that must be done or prioritized before you can focus on your a trip or vacation, you must entrust work to someone that can efficiently do it. Here are several points to consider in hiring someone that may continue your work while you are away (or utilising an outsourcing team):
  1. Write down a list of tasks so you know what type of candidate your after, you may need more than one person to do your tasks – its rare that the one person would have all the skills you need to complete all task required of your business.
  2. Interview candidates extensively and check references
  3. It’s essential to test the skills your hiring for, set example exercises to filter candidates. What you are looking for is that the task completed is accurate and more importantly returned in a timely manner.
  4. Can the candidate work un-supervised?
It’s hard to delegate tasks to a new staff member but like any new staff there will need to be training involved first. Use free software like Jing to show the staff member what they need to do to complete the task this is handy if they are lost they can easily replay your video. Reporting to you daily showing that they have completed your task will result in trusting them with more work until you are at a stage where you can build up to a weeks work at a time. When you are traveling ensure that you login in daily just to check progress and give feedback.
2. Trust Others
Trust is something that is built over time. Always praise on a job that is well done and encourage them to give you feedback on a task if they have other ideas they would like to input which sometimes you may not of thought of. Start building trust slowly and you will be rewarded with a loyal staff member.
3. Use Travel Time Wisely
For the times that you can’t hand over a job to individuals in the workplace while you travel, here are suggestions on what you could do to remain on top of things:
  1. When standing in line at the airport, you could take out a notepad and think of new business suggestions or take notes about essential company issues.
  2. Instead of viewing the in-flight entertainment, you may use this time to work on your laptop. The good idea about flights is that you won’t be disrupted by the workplace telephone or any of your associates.
  3. Utilize any travel commute to perfect larger presentations.
  4. Recreate an Office Environment whenever possible.
When you’re staying in a hotel, arranging your laptop and documents similar to your office setup may help. Instead of treating the hotel as an area of recreation, consider it as an area of “work-away-from-work.” Replicating an office setup will help you participate in work much better.
Final Thoughts;
Working on many tasks is still possible while traveling. Nevertheless, it’s best to do the less important ones to raise productivity. For instance, you can leave tasks like non-urgent emails for flights and so that your office time will be focused on critical business matters.
Life hack reports that keeping e-mail programs open is disruptive to efficiency. Instead, checking e-mails five or six times a day will help you deal with them appropriately. So, either save those tiring e-mails for your travels or examine them occasionally throughout a typical working day. Better still have staff set up email folders so that you will have emails sorted and to look at when you are ready.

Which Business Model is Right For You?

I think a growing number of people want to start their own business. Why? Because people are tired of being tied to a job that is draining the life out of them. Also, they don’t want to be told when, where, and how to live.
We see people come to our coaching programs every day that are in the same place we were over 11 years ago. I decided that I wanted to raise my daughter and not put her in childcare. If I were going to stay in the corporate world, I would have had no other choice than to do that.
Starting a business was hands down the best decision Brian and I ever made for our family. We have a passion to help others make the same choice and be successful.
Today, I want to give you a free lesson from our Freedom-Preneur Academy. Drew Innes shares in this lesson about the 4 different business models you can choose from.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i59HZ4pg7xA?list=PL4v1LHx0JCxcTcq-EPsWH43ViY9QGtsDA]

4 Business Models

In the Freedom-preneur movement, it is our goal to help you develop strategies that help you to align with your goals and reach a life that you love. That is why it is so important that you have a good understanding of the different types of business models there are.

1. Personal Products and Services

Some people already have a product or service that they know they are going to offer. These services or products could include:
  • Digital products
  • Online services
  • Cleaning homes
  • Lawn care
  • Coaching
Of course, this is a very small list of things that make up products and services. I wanted to make the distinction here that this is a bit different than a brick and mortar business model, because these are jobs where you meet the customer where they are.

2. Affiliates and Bloggers

Becoming an online affiliate and/or blogger is one of the easiest ways for someone to get started in making money online. It doesn’t require you to have your own products or services to start with. All you will need to do is promote another brand and get paid a percentage of the sales.
For example, if you become a lifetime member of the Freedom-Preneur Academy, you can become an affiliate with us. Through our affiliate program, you can share information about our coaching services, and if someone makes a purchase, we will give you a large commission for it.
Learn more in this video:
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sb-Fl2Enxj0]
There are two ways to do this:

Affiliate Marketing

There are some people that sign up as an affiliate for a product and spend all of their focus on selling that product or service. They will develop leadpages, web content, opt-ins, and so on to educate potential buyers about what they are selling.

Develop a Blog

Another great way to be successful in affiliate sales is to develop a blog. This is where you write about your passions and the things that resonate most with you. Then, you find affiliate programs that are in line with your brand messaging and promote it with your audience.

3. Affiliation With Business Opportunities

This is another form of affiliate marketing. The top two forms of affiliation with business are multi-level marketing and direct sales.
Basically, you will become an ambassador for a company and sell their products for them. Part of that business model means you bring in others to the company so that they will sell. You will make commission from your sales and their sales, also.
We have an association called the Online Alliance in the Freedom-Preneur Academy that falls under this category. If that is something you would be interested in, be sure to contact me so that I can get you the information you need.

4. Brick and Mortar Businesses

I’m sure you know what a brick and mortar business is, because you likely shop in these on a regular basis. This is where a business owner sets up a location to do their business and the customer comes to them. They also have the ability to send their products and services outside of the location.

Take Your Business Model Global

Here’s one thing to consider, gone are the days where a small business owner has to stay local. You can take some of your services and products, depending on your industry, and make it global.
If you don’t have a position on the internet, you are doing a disservice to your customers. This goes for brick and mortar business just as much as the other business models. You need to be where your potential customers are hanging out.

Utilizing Ascension in All Business Models to Increase Sales

Ascensions is when you Increase customer value so that you can offer more of what people need and want. You can look at many business today and see where there is lost opportunity, because the owners are not maximizing what they offer.
If you don’t understand the role ascension plays, it can cripple your business. When you stop meeting the needs of your customers, you will lose them.
Look at your business and understand what products and services you have today that solve your customers’ problems. As you learn more about them, you will be able to develop more products and services that they need.
Another thing to ask yourself is how to bundle things in a different way to meet more needs. Take existing services and products you own and place them into different groups to target parts of your audience.

What Business Model is Right For You?

You may already have the business model that is right for you figured out. Or, you may be like many of the people that come to us. They know they want to be in business for themselves, but they have no idea what to do.
When you sign up for the Freedom-preneur Academy, we give you all of the tools you need to take your next steps in earning an income on your terms. We also provide you with coaching calls where you can ask questions and we provide you with the feedback that you need.

Personal Branding and Building a Legacy

“The greatest legacy one can pass on to one’s children and grandchildren is not money or other material things accumulated in one’s life, but rather a legacy of character and faith” ~Billy Graham
I think deep down inside, we all want to get to the end of our lives, look back, and feel at peace about what we are leaving behind for our loved ones. In the Freedom-Preneur Academy, we will spend a good deal of time helping you build an online brand that will leave a lasting legacy.
Take Mark Zuckerburg for example. Would you say that he is a man that has built a brand that is going to have lasting impact? Of course! Life hasn’t been the same since the creation of Facebook.
Here’s the thing- you don’t have to be Mark Zuckerburg to create brand messaging that will leave a lasting impression.

Personal Branding Message

Would you rather buy from a corporation or a personal brand? There was a poll done that found that 78% of the consumers asked said they would rather buy from a personal brand, which is why your personal branding message is so important. That lets us know that people are looking to buy things that have a bigger purpose.
We are in a time where people are really thinking about what they are buying. Now, more than ever, it is so important that you develop a personal branding message that utilizes your story to sell the things that matter to you.

Only Sell What You Are Passionate About


I’ve seen a lot of online marketers selling anything and everything, just so they can make a buck. It reminds me of the Bible verse, Mark 8:36 that says, “What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet lose their soul?”.
There are a lot of people out there that are selling their souls just to gain worldly possessions. I’m not saying there is anything wrong with making money, but the way in which you do it matters tremendously.
Since we are seeing the changes in this market, consumers are having less and less patience with being sold to. If you are someone that will sell anything and everything, your audience will see right through it.
Do I believe in what I’m doing?
Would I be proud to show others what I’m doing for a living?
If you answered yes, then you are on the right track. If your answer is no, I can help you get on your way to building a brand that leaves a lasting legacy.

Understand Your Customers and Develop a Core Message

“People are buying the hole, not the drill”- Perry Marshall
The truth is, people don’t really care about your business. What they care about is having a solution to their problem.
Think about it like this- say you own a ferry boat. Marketers tend to want to talk about all of the amazing features of their boat. They point out how powerful the engine is, give a rundown of the amenities, talk about the reliability of the company and so on. Here’s the thing- no one cares!
What do people care about? They care about the destination. Instead of painting a picture of a great ferry boat, tell your audience about the beautiful island and all of the things that they can do there. After they are sold on the destination, it won’t even be a question of them using your ferry services.
In marketing, it is essential that you understand your target audience. What are their pain points? What problems are they experiencing that keep them up at night? Once you understand that person, then developing a core message and branding is not hard to do.

Storytelling in Online Marketing is Essential

Did you know that our brains are hardwired to feel connected through storytelling? This is a powerful tool to attract the right people to your personal branding message. When you craft your life story and share it with others, you are suddenly much more relatable.
One thing to keep in mind, is that the stories you tell need to have a purpose. You always want to add value to the reader. They need to walk away from your content with something that they feel is truly beneficial to their lives.
Not everyone will connect with your personal story, and that is ok. That is the genius of attraction marketing. You aren’t trying to sell to everyone, you are selling to the one person that is desperate for the services that you provide. When it comes time for a transaction to be made, they are more than ecstatic to give you their money.

How To Create Killer Content That Keeps On Giving & Leverage Facebook Offers

 “Content marketing is the only marketing left.” Seth Godin.

If you own any type of professional business nowadays you’ll know that, in terms of marketing, the world has changed dramatically. The once tried and tested activities for getting client attention just don’t work now like they once did.
Advertising don’t get enough response to justify the considerable costs.
Today, effective marketing is all about writing high quality content and sharing this across the web. By quality content we don’t just mean well-written or artfully produced information. By quality content we mean information that is first and foremost of real value to your particular client base.
Educate your clients/customers, show them the best practice, tell them what to watch out for, provide them with valuable tips on how to achieve success, demonstrate how you were able to help others in their shoes; answer their problems, open their eyes.
Creating and distributing this kind of relevant, valuable and compelling information will help you turn prospects into buyers and eventually into long-term fans.
Create the type of information that your buyers actually want to consume. Having a valuable content as a marketing strategy is a win-win for your company and its customers — your potential clients get the information they need from you and you get to demonstrate your expertise and usefulness.
Valuable content will help you sell. It helps your ideal clients locate you and makes it easier for them to buy from you. It’s an opportunity to build up your company as the “go to” place to turn to when the time comes to buy.

A Different Approach to Communication

If you want to harvest the rewards that valuable content brings, you have to start communicating differently. There are different rules of engagement here. The approach to valuable content is not about continuing to holler about how amazing your firm is as we all did in the past. Rethink what you learned about sales and marketing messages.
Your position should be not “look how great we are” (as in a traditional brochure) but “look how useful we are – we have the answers to your problems.”
This approach is truly customer-centred. Create content that is genuinely useful to your customers. Make yourself indispensable.

It takes Effort To Be Valuable

Consistently delivering and creating this type of information takes effort. What you need to do is to build a deep understanding of the needs of your target client base and of where and how you add value. Furthermore, it also takes time and skill.
Valuable content may not be easy to produce but it is an essential tool if you are aiming to grow and sustain a successful business in today’s web-driven world.
I host a LIVE hangout every Wednesday at 9pm EST where I will cover FREEDOM-PRENEUR Topics from travl, to family, to marketing and working online.
Looking forward to answering questions you may have, and helping you become a FREEDOM-PRENEUR and building a brand and a business you love.

The World Has Changed- Winners Wanted

You may have been informed when you were younger that if you studied hard, went to an excellent school, researched even more, as well as landed a great job, that you  can ultimately  at some point work your way up the ladder to success.
That’s just  simply not exactly how it functions anymore.
Nowadays that old path brings about a mountain of financial obligation  and also job security in a go-nowhere profession. It’s remarkable to see many young people come out of  college these days in debt up to  their eyeballs at a degree that’s so  overwhelming they trade  every one of their hopes and also their dreams in for a bottle of wine and a Netflix subscription.
However, it doesn’t need to be that way.
In spite of all the chaos in the world … what seems like continuous war, corruption, and also debt … this is just one of the most| interesting times to be alive.
The world  isn’t really coming to an end. It’s transforming. The economic system is resetting. Wealth and also power throughout the globe are changing.
Billions of individuals are rising into the Middle Class. Digital Technology is basically transforming the way we organize ourselves as a society  as well as participate in commerce.
Today, borders, college levels, and the conventional profession path are significantly lapsing and also  pointless, which is an advantage.
You can earn a living and spend time anywhere in the world today, thanks to modern communications and cheap transportation. The entire world is now open and available to you.
And there’s an extraordinary amount of opportunity out there for people who have the courage and skills to take advantage of it.

Wanted: Winners who truly want to change the world.

I’ll be honest with you. I abhor the term “lifestyle design”
There’s an entire generation of young people who have already been sold on the idea that life is just all about travel and leisure.
I see so many people now who want to start a business for the sole purpose of producing enough passive income to finance their travel lifestyle
What ever happened to the desire of changing the world? If your aspirations don’t extend beyond your surfboard, this camp is not for you.
We are looking for ass kickers, not tree sloths. We want to teach students who have the drive to create and do amazing things that really count.
Your instructors walk that walk. We want to find and invest in the next generation of doers, and equip you with rocket-propelled knowledge and contacts to jump start your next project, business, or career.

Learn the critical skills you need to create value in a world full of opportunity.

It doesn’t matter what you do… whether you have a job or start a business. Whether you are a musician or venture capitalist. Whether you come from a developed country or developing one
Your success in life will ultimately boil down to how much value you can create.
Unfortunately, life doesn’t come with an instruction book. And university educations are often devoid of practical advice to help you figure out what skills you need to solve the big problems.

If You Aren’t Doing Videos- You Will Go Out of Business

If you are not using YouTube, FB LIVE, or Periscope to create videos, you will go out of business. PERIOD!
I recently finished reading an insightful book by Susan Cain. The book titled “QUIET: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking“, highlighted for me the power of the social web to provide everyone with a voice.
The connected and global knowledge economy is providing the quiet introvert with media platforms that provide a soapbox to shout at the world.
The creative spirits that were locked in urban and rural islands are now free to be heard, read and viewed in milliseconds on fixed and mobile devices.

Get Your Message Seen

YouTube since its inception in 2005 is one of many social media channels that allow anyone with passion and purpose to display and spread their ideas and express themselves. There are hundreds of YouTube partners earning 6 figure incomes from their presence on a free video channel.
To provide some perspective on what the social and multimedia web has unleashed here are the latest YouTube facts, figures and statistics.

YouTube Traffic

Did you know that 60 hours of video are uploaded every minute, or one hour of video is uploaded to YouTube every second? That is a lot of video. Here are some other great statistics to be aware of.
 As you can see, video is in high demand. People would rather listen to or watch videos than to read articles.

YouTube Partner Program

Created in 2007, the YouTube partner program now has 30,000+ partners from 27 countries around the world. YouTube pays out millions of dollars a year to partners. Hundreds of partners are making six figures a year. Partner revenue has more than doubled for four years in a row.
It is very easy to put ads on your YouTube videos. When people watch your vids, even if they are embedded on your website, it translates to ad revenue.

Making Money from YouTube

The stat that sticks out to me the most is that YouTube mobile gets over 600 millions views a day. That is insane! It shows you that there is a huge demand for this platform. People are spending a lot of time watching YouTube.

More Platforms Are Making Video Possible

I mentioned Periscope and Facebook LIVE at the start of this article. YouTube has been so hugely successful, that other social media platforms are making it possible for you to do videos.
In fact, if you have a Facebook page for your business and you aren’t going LIVE, then you are completely missing out on reaching your audience. Since this is Facebook’s new addition, they are highly rewarding pages that are going LIVE on a regular basis.
With Periscope, this is a good way to get your twitter followers to see you live, as well. As soon as you start broadcasting, a tweet is sent out to all of your followers letting them know that you are on.
Even Instagram has a video feature now, as short as it may be. You can do video on Snapchat, also.

Why Your Audience is Crying Out For Videos

People want to buy from people. When you are getting in front of the camera, you can establish connections with your audience much faster. They want to see you and hear from you.
Maybe you have been in the online world for the last decade like I have. Let me tell you, when I got started, we didn’t have social media like we do now. It was much more difficult to make the personal connections that people wanted.
Now that video is so commonplace, your audience expects it from you. They are being conditioned by social media to expect to see more videos.

Not Sure Where to Get Started?

Jump inside the Freedom-preneur Academy and watch the module on social media and YouTube, then get going!

Hire Rhonda To Speak - Building a Legacy Brand

Characteristics of Wealth#3 – Dealing With the Haters

Fear of Failure is an Obstacle to Many - Rhonda Swan

We all have the tendency to fear failing. I mean, who really wants to fail in life? I don’t want to, but I know that it is part of the process that we must all accept. Otherwise, will never achieve anything great.
Since many people stand still in fear, this leads to a state of inaction. They just stay in the crummy circumstances they are living in.
The trouble with standing still in fear is that wealth comes by taking risks. You have to be willing to put it out on the line, otherwise you don’t stand a chance of truly increasing your earnings.

The Benefits of Failing

Failure is not something you should fear, rather a thing you should seek after. We all need to fail in our lives at one time or another, or we will never really know how to do it right.
When it comes to growing a business, personal brand, or any part of a company, you must be willing to move above the status quo. You’ll never get there by standing still in fear of failing.
If it was easy to make it to the top, then everyone would be a millionaire. Am I right? What separates those that are highly successful from where you are today? It is because those people were willing to face their fears and go through the process of failing and trying again.
Failure gives way to lessons and these lessons create a change in your behavior. If you tried it one way and it didn’t work, then you’ll know what to do different the next go round.
Consider it from technology perspective. I am not a techy, but I’ve had to learn enough to make my business successful.
I’ve had to figure out why parts of my websites weren’t working because of broken codes. I’ve also had to to figure out how to use different platforms. This has all been a series of learning experiences.
Sure, a book or an instructor can give you the instructions of how to do something. However, without actually doing it yourself, you will have no experience to draw from. When you work through concepts on your own, you will inevitably fail and through that you will gain a lasting remembrance of what not to do.

That is Why You Should Fail and Fail Fast

Don’t wait around any long. Now is the time to get out there and do what is necessary to grow your business. Sure, you will fail, but go for it. Get those failures out of the way so that you can take hold of the success you are longing for.

Characteristics of Wealth #2- Removing the Clutter

Before I get going, I want you to think about these few questions - Rhonda Swan

    1. Look at the 5 people you hang around and divide by 5. That will likely be your total income.
    2. Think about what you put into your mind. Negative or positive thoughts?
    3. Who do you surround yourself with?
    4. Listen to the words that are coming out of your mouth. What are they?
    5. Take inventory of what is around you and start your wealth creation.

What Clutter is in Your Life?

Ok, I had you work through those questions because we need to start somewhere. You need to take a real inventory of the influences in your life.
Are you surrounding yourself with people that are motivated and passionate about life? Do those around you speak encouragement to you or discourage you from pursuing your dreams?
It is very important that you understand the role of others in your life. Identify the clutter that you are piling around you and then you have to find ways to get rid of it.
Clutter can be anything that is distracting you or keeping you from reaching your goals. This can be negative thoughts that you are holding onto. It can be negative people that pull you down. It might be your circumstances have you in a place where you do not feel the freedom to chase after wealth.

Remove the Clutter

This is a hard step for many people. We don’t want to admit that we are the reason that we aren’t succeeding in life. It is up to us to remove the negativity from our lives. That is hard, since it might mean you have to break relationships.
There might be some personal issues that you need to get over. You might have some deep rooted insecurities that need to be addressed and cleared out.
Whatever it is, I want you to commit to removing the clutter in your life.

Replace the Clutter With Beneficial People and Positive Thinking

Wherever you are right now, is not where you have to stay. However, if you want to pursue wealth, you need to surround yourself with the right people. You need people in your life that are successful in the way that you hope to be.
You also need to put yourself in the right circumstances. Are you in a job that is going nowhere fast? It is time to start working toward finding a way to get away from it. If you are in a toxic job, then you need a new plan.
Another major thing that you need to do is replace your negative thoughts with positive. Stop believing the lies you have fed yourself or others have fed you.
