4/17/24 Monetize Your Book Tip 3: How ELF Do You Want It?

Published 22 days ago • 1 min read

Hi, Reader!

Yesterday I asked how fast you need to turn your book into money. Today I'm providing a few more filters for your consideration.

Tip 3: How easy, lucrative, and fun (ELF) do you want your income stream to be? How ELF could they be? You probably don’t want to just earn money; you might want to earn money in an easy way, that is lucrative, and also fun.

Allow me to expand on these a bit:

  • Easy. You'll want it to be easy...whatever "it" is. Does coaching or speaking come easily to you? Great! You might want to do them. (If they come easily but you don't like to do them, please do not!) Write down the aspects of your profession or intended profession you find easy to do.
  • Lucrative. Might as well make an abundant living while you're at it, right? RIGHT. What could you do for which folks would be willing to pay? (You might already be doing it and you want to do more of it!) Write down something you're great at that can also command a good amount of cash.
  • Fun. What do you have fun doing that you can get paid to do? Write down what you love doing.

What shows up on all three lists? I have several income streams that are ELF, here are three of my current favorites: writing, hosting a mastermind, and creating custom books.

You already have an area of expertise that is easy (maybe even effortless) for you to do, could be a boon to your bottom line, that you also enjoy immensely. Why wouldn't you want to do that? Or more of that?

Developing a new income stream that feels like child's play, profitable, and pleasant is possible--in fact, you can have several. (I promise this is the truth.) What comes easy to you is hard for someone else. Hey, I'm not an accountant--so I do not charge for math! I pay others well to handle that for me, with gratitude.

For today, just identify some possibilities, and I'll be back with you tomorrow.
