Thank you Milana Leshinsky. You’ve been an inspiration to me for the last few years. And now this comes as a special honor, to be included on your list of Top 100 Multiple Income Streams Women.
Here’s what Milana tells us about why she created this list:
Although Internet marketing and information marketing is still dominated by men, there are many women who are building their multiple income streams empires. In the next few posts I’ll be featuring some of the most successful women entrepreneurs who turned their passion into a multiple income streams business online!
First, here are the criteria I used to identify them:
- Content-rich blog
- High quality web site
- Clear strong personal brand
- Prominent free giveaway
- Book or signature product
- Information products
- Coaching programs
- Live events
- Membership programs
- Use of audio and video
- Active community
I can’t say I currently participate in all of these income streams, but I have at one time. And please note that Milana doesn’t say “Passive Streams of Income” here.
None of these income sources are passive, although many are automatic. All require work, promotion, and constant “minding the store.” Don’t let anybody tell you online income products are “passive.”
I am very honored to be among such a strong list of creative women, who are pioneers in each of their own ways. Be sure to check out these women on the list.
Milana herself has forged the way for many independent women and work-at-home moms. She has a talented ability to create and sell popular information products, membership programs and telesummits. If you don’t know her yet, be sure to visit Milana.com.
Milana came to this country from the Ukraine, to study music. Even though English is her second language (or maybe 3rd or 4th?), she communicates to others with clarity and passion.
As her tag line says, she helps “awaken your fortune within.” She brands herself as “your multiple income streams business coach.” Who wouldn’t want to work with a coach like Milana who certainly walks the talk?
Quality stands out and leaves a memorable mark. Listen to her speak and tell her story about how she quadrupled her income in one year and now works less to have more time with her family.
Blog Content: Are you personal… or all business?
I got an interesting comment on a post I did beginning of June and I can’t stop thinking about it. The post was about staying on target with your business goals when you create content for your blog. Don’t Jerk Readers Around: 5 Tips for Staying on Track.
First Eileen said she didn’t agree with my premise that you might be jerking readers around if you’re not staying on track with your content:
“I’m not sure I agree with this. My blog niche is arts and crafts. Most of my favorite other artsy blogs do this routinely. One day they blog about what happening at home. The next they may share a tutorial or run a contest or review a book.”
Then Keenan said, “I agree with Eileen. Although you don’t want to be completely all over the map, changing up your subject matter is critical.
“Blogs represent people. They create connections to their readers through their personalities. When a blog stays on topic all the time, it begins to feel white-washed like any on or off-line newspaper or magazine.
“Personality plays a huge role in a blog. Blogging about those things that are part of the authors passions, likes, dislikes, opinions etc. allows followers to connect with the blog. It’s what makes blogging different than reading commercial news. Read More→
