One of the most exciting ways of setting up an extra income stream is through Printables.

It’s not something that will appeal to everyone. But if you are a visual person and like working with images, it’s an endlessly fascinating and varied way of splurging on your creativity while producing simple and easy-to-monetize products.

The options are so many and so different, from helping home schooling parents with maths worksheets or science fun facts, to adult colouring sheets, to useful journals and calendars, to information sheets.

Getting started is easy if you have a computer or laptop and a printer-scanner. it doesn’t require a lot of other equipment. You don’t need to buy inventory.

If you want to, you can make your product a physical product or you make it downloadable PDF file and which your customer can access as soon as they have paid for it. They download it on their own printer or laptop and off they go.

It’s even possible to produce interactive PDF’s which increases the ease of customer use. For example, a maths worksheet, which saves the stressed parent from having to go out and buy more ink before their child can do the school homework. It was an issue for some parents in the recent school closures keeping up with the amount of ink needed to keep their family going with all the homework sent from school.

A recent development in the laws relating to copyright and public domain has freed up a lot of content which was previously protected, making it available for use. The length of time copyright of material lasts varies slightly from country to country, the US and the UK have different amounts of protection for works produced in these two English speaking countries. However, there are huge amounts of “new” material became available in the US in 2020. And more will come each year from now on as the copyright period expires.

Another factor is that a huge amount of material which was previously only accessible in physical locations to view physically such as libraries or museums, has now been digitised and put on line. Some of this is only available for personal use or educational and research purposes, not commercial use. Some is freely available. So you would need to be sure what the terms and conditions of this newly published material were as some sources copyright their digital work to protect it.

This gives two additional ways that the resources have been expanded. Before lockdowns and social restrictions put a stop to traveling and socialising, many people looked forward to week-end trips to these special locations where they could see precious objects and paintings like those you find in the British Museum or the National Gallery, or holidays visiting family-friendly fantasy worlds like Disney Land or Universal Studios or Madame Tussauds.

Now you can bring them to people!

There are a lot of different ways of setting up an independent income stream. And in these strange times, many people are turning to the internet to find ways to bring in some more income and give themselves more certainty and stability.

What if you’ve never done this before? What if you’re one of the people who grew up before the world went device mad and screen obsessed?

Well there are ways to get started taking simple steps that don’t cost the earth and need you to cut off your right hand to get going.

And three are honest, sincere people out there who started from nowhere and nothing, who have been where you are and who know the needs of not knowing where to go to get out of the trap.

John Thornhill is such a man. I’ve known him for 10 years and watched him build his business. He believes in helping people and giving.

John and his partner, Dave Nicholson, offer a unique place to start.

Each month they give away a free webiste. You can download it for free. They have given you an opportunity to make a start. I quote from their webiste.

These websites are content rich, cash generating websites that earn you affiliate commissions from multiple affiliate sources.

If you want to know more, i will post the links so you can find out and take a look for yourself.

There have been a number of different Amazon courses over the last few years, one of them both high profile and high ticket,

There is another one though, that i purchased. It’s called the Proven Amazon Course put together by Jim Cockrum, internet entrepreneur and business man, best-selling author and a sincere and honest man.

I signed up for the course Jim offered and I haven’t regretted it. His is value for money. It’s not some quick brief handful of pages, full of out-of-date information. Jim exchanged in abundance. You get his Amazon selling course. And then some.

Jim adds all his new courses for free to this master course so as he develops new strategies with partners or sees new opportunities as conditions change, he makes this information available to you as well. People have paid for these individual courses by themselves when they first come out, or you can wait till they are added into the Proven Amazon Course in due course.

There is also a wonderful Facebook group where members can ask questions and there are many people with experience who will help out with their know-how as well as friendly and supportive advice. For those who want it there is the possibility of paid coaching from a team of coaches who have proven success.

And the brilliant thing is that it is scalable. So if you just need some extra income to pay for some treats for you or your family, or if you want to build it up to be your main source of income and be your own boss, or even build up a larger sized business, you will find all the ingredients here that you need.

Jim Cockrum’s Proven Amazon Course is one of the best value courses you can invest in if you really want success on Amazon. He has built a successful business himself as a seller as well as encouraging and leading others to the success in harnessing the wealth of opportunity available on Amazon to build multiple income streams.

There are may ways to start to build your new future whether you have nothing available to invest except your time, determination and activity and Jim will give you inspiration and guidance from whatever your starting point is. .

He has built a team of like minded hard working and sincere people around him who can be relied on and trusted to help you make progress.

One thing I particularly like about Jim’s Proven Amazon Course (PAC) is that Jim is continuously develloping new strategies and then creating new courses to teach them. You can buy these new courses as standalone courses but he also will later add these courses free of charge to people who have purchased his umbrella course, PAC. I don’t know anyone else who does that.

It is a long time coming but the way forward can be worked out taking one step at a time.

There are several different platforms you can use to build an on-line business. They have different strengths and offer different potentials.

What seems to be one of the best and simplest approaches is to start where you are with what you’ve got and go to eBay. Start selling what you have and get a feel for taking a good photograph, writing a good description, finding out how to get your goods to your buyer and how to collect payment.

Ebay is much more forgiving than Amazon so it’s friendlier place to get your feet wet. Just dip your feet in and go for it.

You don’t need to look far for things to sell.

Amazon is massive and driven. So there are plenty of things to learn on your way to success. The do’s and don’t are something you need to find out and pay attention to.

There are a number of successful sellers and a number of different programs out there which you can buy into to get inside tips and guidance on how to start and grow a successful Amazon business.

Some low budget ones pack a great deal of info into a great community with fabulous support and lifetime updates so don’t disregard them because they don’t start out high-priced and think they are low value.

One of the best is the Proven Amazon Course by Jim Cockrum.

Jim is a veteran of sales, both on-line and off-line.

Skip McGrath is a longtime online entrepreneur, starting as an ebay seller who developed also into an amazon seller

His attitude is one of care and integrity and great warmth which shines through in his emails. He comes across as someone you can trust

There are a lot of opportunities out there to increase your income or to start making an income on line. Sometimes, it seems the problem is not to find a way, a thing to do.

In fact, It’s the opposite. There are so many ways, so many opportunities, it’s hard to know where to start. How to choose? It takes understanding and data in order to decide. Until you do it, you don’t get enough data to make the decision.

Can I make a success of this? Or would that be a better fit ? Well, this is something I am interested in, but now I found out some more about it, I can see it won’t really work with everything else I got going on, but I need to keep going with them so ….. well, what about this? Oh no, that’s just a load of hype. Ok well this looks much better. I’ll look into this.

And before you know it a year or two or even more has gone by. No progress, nothing changed. A lot of ideas, no action. A lot of thinking, a lot of effort, a lot of expense checking things out, a lot of time spent checking things out… a lot of checking out.

One good thing that came of all the checking out is seeing who has stayed the course. Who has made a success, who continues to deliver, who gives value for money, whose methods work, who has won respect, earned a good reputation, who will be here tomorrow.
Names that come up again and again are Jim Cockrum, Skip McGrath, John Thornhill, Stuart Turnbull, Mark Ling.

Jim Cockrum is an experienced Ebay seller who went on to sell on Amazon. He has several training porgrams including the Silent Sales Machine and Proven Amazon Course.

Skip McGrath is another one of the original Ebay sellers. He has been selling on this platform for many years, and also now sells on Amazon, writes a regular newsletter, sells his training program and contributes to others success with advice, tips and wholesale sources for physical products.

John Thornhill joined the ranks of the Ebay legends. He sells and promotes internet marketing programs. His big ticket program is Partnership to Success. He is hard working, sincere, and helpful. The information he includes sets you up to build your own website, products and sales for information products.

Stuart Turnbull has a successful prints and public domain products business, which he shares with others. His is a fun method for a person looking for an additional bit of extra money in a creative way.

You need to work out what you want to do, name it and want it and take action to get it

There are a number of Amazon programs out there at the moment.

One of them is run under the brand “Amazing” and is by all accounts pretty amazing. The program has been on the go for a few year now, and has a number of successful followers. It also comes in at an Amazing price so is not for someone who is just starting out with little income to throw at it and who can’t afford to wait for the income or waste some on the way to successs.

Fortunately there are some other extremely successful and worthwhile program out there. There is one I am thinking of in particular which is run by Jim Cockrum. He calls his program the Proven Amazon Course.

It comes in at a fraction of the cost of the Amazing brand program. Jim is a long time on-line entrepreneur. He started out himself in the early days of ebay and went on to achieve great personal success. Inevitably, he was asked how did he do it and this led to another line of success as a leader and teacher.

What is so wonderful about Jim’s program is that he practices what he teaches so it comes with a healthy dose of reality. As well as that, whenever a person signs up with Jim, they have access to all future developments as he evolves his training to keep up with changes in the market, rules on lines and fashions and trends in business.

Jim also has a loyal and devoted following who are willing to go beyond and help others to succeed. So with all these benefits and advantages, Jim has created an extremely valuable training resource and community who will help you with advice, answering questions, sharing results and experience.

Some of the people who have followed Jim have gone on to build million dollar businesses making sales on Amazon, both inside and outside America. His methods and advice are not confined to America and Americans.

Over the coming months, I will be looking at different programs and ways of making additional income on line.

There are lots of people doing internet marketing. Some are better at than others.

One who stands the test of time in my eyes is John Thornhill

He has been working at internet marketing now since 2008.

So he has seen the business change and develop through the years. Yet he stays on top of it. And he develops many streams to his original line of work and income.

I can say he is also sincere, hardworking and ethical.

He gives back and genuinely works to make others successful. I’ve seen him to do this over and over.

I can say that I have come across many other people who started their online business or took it to the next level and owe their success to things they learned from one of John. John has many short information courses or you can participate in his master program called Partnership to Success.

On the Partnership to Success program people learn about the basics of how to set up a wordpress blog, your email responder, monetize it and all the other technical details involved in setting up an internet business up to how to set up a membership site and run a helpdesk and launch products of your own.

John will helps people get started. He will help you launch your own products if you want this. And you can get help from him and his many affilitiates. He will also provide you with access to other members on his programs so you can make contacts in the internet world to further develop your own activities.

It is possible to get help, advice and input on many issues or specific questions as well as keep up to date with changes of all kinds that are taking place on day to day level such as how mobile devices and apps are being integrated into web pages, what platforms are good to use for what types of products.

One of the most popular ways to make a living on line is through using the power and reach of Amazon.

For many people who want to earn some extra income, one of the most confusing things is where to start. How to find out what will work for them with their budget and time constraints, their lifestyle and commitments. And how to do this quickly so that they can get on with earning that much needed extra income now, not next year.

The internet is one of the best opportunities and one of the best opportunities on the internet is selling on line. Whatever your age, your education, your location or circumstances, this presents a possibility to get started small, and build up a little or a lot depending on how far you want take it, how much you need to earn.

For some people, selling physical products represents an ideal and simple way to move forward, while still maintaining their existing activities and all without adding a lot of overheads, or outlay. There are stories of pensioners and grandmas making good on line as well as teenagers and college students and a healthy number of stay-at-home mums and single parents who turn their hands to online business built out of hours when the kids are asleep or at school.

There are several places on line where someone can start selling. Here are some of them: Ebay, Etsy, Amazon, Salehoo, Ebid, Ruby Lane to mention some of them.

I’ll be taking a look at some of these opportunities over the next few weeks and writing about what I find.
