Slow and steady cash
I think of slow and steady cash as delayed gratification. Slow cash can be things like a membership or subscription model that brings in reoccurring revenue. It could be little and often but it could add up to a lot. For example, if you have someone paying you $97 a month that's great, but if you have 100 people paying you $97 a month then that adds up to a lot.
Creating lower-priced products that might be on evergreen - which means that they can be bought all the time and just having those in the marketing mix of the things you talk about on a regular basis, having funnels on your website from opt-ins to those products or even running SLO - self-liquidating offers to them through ads.
It's about asking yourself the question - is there a way for me to get consistent reoccurring revenue? It could be through retainer clients as well or I've seen photographers who have subscription models.
I was coaching a client this week on potentially have a VIP day subscription option for clients who need a quarterly outcome that she provides.
I always talk about getting creative in your business and this is a great thing to think about and it's something that you can build up over time - years!
