Internet Profit Building Method #9 

Concentrate on Continuity Income 

The best business models always include some type of continuity income.  

This is recurring income where a customer in charged automatically on a 

cycle.  Most recurring income is monthly billing, but there are also quarterly 

and yearly programs. 

There are all kinds of continuity clubs: tape of the month clubs, fruit of the 

month club, and DVD of the month club.  Beauty products have monthly 

auto billing.  Health and nutrition products have monthly auto billing.  This 

simply means that every month the customer's card is automatically charged 

and the product is shipped out.   

This type of income is also sometimes called  till forbid.   The customer is 

charged every month until they say stop.  They only have to sign up for the 

program once and then could be charged every month for years to come until 

they cancel. 

The beauty of this type of system is that it produces a reliable monthly 

income.  You start every month with $10,000, $20,000, or more in charges 

waiting for you.  If you don't sell a single product all month, you still make 

a ton of money. 

The hardest part of selling online is convincing a customer to take action.  

Getting them to buy once is hard.  Getting them to buy again every month 

would be an impossible task.  So you get them to sign up for a continuity 

program one time, and you'll make money every month until they take 

action to cancel it. 

Every single online business has potential opportunities for continuity 

income.  If you're in a consumable business like vitamins, groceries, beauty 

products, etc., then set up some kind of autobilling program.  They will 

receive x amount of your monthly product for this discount price if they 

sign up for monthly billing today. 

If you sell information products, then start an audio tape or CD of the month 

type of club.  Or you could also start a membership site where they pay 

monthly for access to a password protected portion of your web site.
