Make Multiple Streams

Someone on here not to long ago asked me if I had any advice on "adult websites" I told them not to get traffic from just one thing, for example, search engine. I know there was a thread not to long ago talking about getting good at one thing and stick to it
https://www.blackhatworld.com/seo/h...online-the-only-post-youll-ever-need.1196675/
I liked that post and I agree to stick to one thing but I also think you need to think about multiple streams.
I look at the "one thing" as my website, now that is my website so I need to work on getting traffic to it.
I worked and worked and finally, I got traffic to it and it makes money yah!!! I've established an income online, I'm not getting rich by no means but I can feed myself on my income after so many years of trying.
I established that by learning S.E.O. now if any of us have learned anything past year is that in SEO nothing is for certain. Your website can be #1 today and be #99 tomorrow, another thing that could happen is the company that I sell their product for (rather it be adult or mainstream it doesn't matter) they can say I broke their terms and conditions, a few of us been here before where we go from making lots to nothing in a minute and the company that we are pushing traffic to knocked the rug out from underneath us.

So what do you do?
You create multiple streams!
Multiple streams of traffic
Once you start getting good at seo and you establish that, get good at advertising or social marketing or if you are in adult upload/download whatever just get multiple streams of traffic going on. That way when G de ranks you, you got a backup plan and you got some traffic still coming to that website, it might not be as much but at least it is some. You can work on replacing G with something else.
Multiple streams of income
You hear people in the financial sector talk about this, diversity or multiple streams of income. Now they are some people on here that say if you have amazon review site just use Amazon and nothing else which I think is good in some ways but when I choose products I base it on if they got revshare and slowly build those up over time, I use a few products on my websites to build up different rev share programs that way if one goes down I am kind of insured with another stream of income, you could also build another website that uses a different product as well.

I'm not saying try 15 different things out but it is good to have plan b on standby and that is why I like to use multiple streams of income and traffic because no matter how good your website or product is things happen and it's best to be prepared when they do.

It's mainly gurus who say this, and try to sell it as a lifestyle.

Most millionaires and billionaires I'm friends with, have worked with, played golf with or have spoken to for any number of reasons, have made 95% of their wealth from 1 venture.

1 massive C-level job that payed them $50 million.
1 company they sold for $140 million.
1 company they own valued at $1.1 billion.

The founder of Hot Jar, David, made his money from Hot Jar. Not from doing 5000 things.

The co-founder of Unbounce, Oli, made his money from Unbounce. This is just how it works, don't complicate it.

The 5% of their wealth, that's usually from real estate values climbing. Their big house back in Milwaukee in addition to their riverside home in Florida. It's not a main focus, it just happens when you buy a new home during a dip and sell your old one after the market recovers.

A friend of mine once said:

Don’t launch three companies at once: “Just focus on one thing and try to be the absolute best at it.”

He's now worth a fuck ton of money.

But a what point would you say that you should maybe try a new thing because it just doesn't work out or do you think stick to it until it makes money?

Nice message. I don't fully agree but I understand your point

Stay focused on your goal, and devote 100% of yourself to 100% of 1 project. That's the best way to make the magic happen!

Every story is different, and not everyone dreams of becoming a billionaire.

What many people do not know about these "success stories" of billionaires is that almost NOBODY succeeded with their first project.
They tried with different things, sometimes failed multiple times, until they discovered the right thing (and then they invested all their time and knowledge into the thing).

Most people on this forum are in the first stage still--trying, learning, failing. Relying on multiple streams of income (and traffic) is definitely a better idea (general plan) in that stage.

Well I'm not a guru and I don't totally disagree with "one thing" like I said but for example my one thing is my "niche" I try to learn everything about it but I make sure I got a backup plan if you ever go for a business loan they want you to have that for example I got a business loan one time for a coffee shop my backup plan if the coffee shop didn't make enough was to cater food to make up for it.

They could make the most capital from that 1 venture, but I'm pretty sure it's far less than 95% of their wealth and they have expanded (have shares etc.) in many other things along the road that they could choose not to open about, like most folks do.

The rich people I know, beside having large companies on 1 industry, they also own shares and deal with other totally unrelated industries - because it leads them to more and more money.

The thing that we can all agree on is that one should never deal with many ventures at once before properly stabilizing on one... but from then on - one would be very naive not to further expand and move into other stuff as well.

This is of course, the real whitehat business model. The same cannot be said for blackhat marketing as you never know with the likes of Adsense, affiliate networks etc. - so it's logical to have many baskets to put the eggs on, just in case!

It's flawed logic to pick a small sample of people who've done one thing and were successful with it. Blockbuster and Kodak did one thing - that didn't go well for them. Amazon started AWS and that now makes up over half their revenue. Elon Musk is on a whole other level but he's certainly not just doing one thing.

There are absolutely people who kill it doing just one thing but we shouldn't tell people that's the only way to go. There are winners and losers on either side and a tiny sample size means nothing.

There's no right or wrong answer here. Part of it is your personal ability to work with multiple projects and spot which ones are worth investing in and part of it is the business model. Some lend themselves well to a scattergun approach and then scaling the ones which perform well.

As OP said, diversity is never a bad thing but I think it goes beyond that. Starting different ventures exposes you to more opportunities. The most successful people I know and work with throw out new projects over breakfast and while the majority fail they'll hit massive home runs with the easy winners.

Focusing on one company is one, but diversifying traffic is another imo.

Okay you have a MMO blog, call it what you like, you know what I mean. I'm not bashing gurus (I have a self-help book in the libraries of the most prestigious schools in the USA myself), I'm just saying it's just a life that's sold to people via Tai Lopez etc, and it's not practiced by many of the mega rich.

Sure, a backup plan is not the same as multiple streams of income though. Backup plans are good. Can't just dwell in failures. My backup plan is if somehow everything failed tomorrow and my bank accounts emptied would be to get a corporate job (they're also super cozy if you have in-demand skills). My resumé would get me a 6 figure salary pretty quickly, but I don't plan on doing that at this point in my life. A backup plan, not a stream.

Saw I got a fuck ton of other replies but cba to reply to all of them, figured I'd reply to op though

Yes and look the last time I posted on there dude and on that blog I state the reason I don't write so much on there is because I am actually busy working on stuff that makes me money, multiple streams is a part of a backup plan, if my seo goes down I better have something still coming in or my wife is going to kill me, having more than 1 stream is insurance and backup plan, we might not agree but I know it works, for example, the last update I had one website go up and other go down same niche, just advice not trying to sell anything except my plan to make $800 per hour click here jk
