How To Make Money With Your Own Printable Business

There’s a business model out there that I’ve been obsessed with for almost two years now and I haven’t even started that business.

I’ve been busy learning it… πŸ™„

That’s an excuse… I know enough and I have enough tools and content to just bust right into it, but I haven’t. πŸ™

Sound familiar to you?

Have you done (or currently are doing) the same thing?

I yell at my clients all the time for NOT taking action, and here I am not taking action. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ There’s so much money in this business model and it’s something I would have a blast doing, but I’m just sitting here learning away, taking notes, and trying to decide on my plan of attack.

2024 WILL be the year I implement this business model in one of my niches I’m in. September is right around the corner and I gear up for the new year in the 4th quarter, so YES… I am already planning for 2024. πŸ˜‰

So, what is this business model? Printables! Creating and selling printables. I’m going to be doing this in a faith-based niche I’m in and there are about a billion and ten different printables I can create for this niche.

I have at least 1 idea (and most I have 10+ ideas for) for each of these types of printables…

Journal Pages

Coloring Pages

Wall Art

Trackers

Labels

Affirmation and Prayer Cards

Bible study pages

Stickers

Study Guides

Sunday School Games

And the list goes on and on…

I got some of these ideas from my own brain, some were inspired by other products, some came from searching Etsy, etc. It’s so easy to come up with idea after idea. Finding ideas isn’t the problem. It’s putting it all into action, and that’s coming, but I wanted to create this post to share some of the trainings that I have learned from and/or are on my “to do” list of trainings to go through.

When you’re wanting to start a new business the best thing to do is dive in and learn everything you can. Just don’t get stuck there. Take what you’ve learned and put it into ACTION.

Okay, so here’s my list… There’s a lot of them so I’m going to put them into categories and a short description of each, so feel free to scroll though and pick what you need. As I dive more into this business model I’ll share more of my “doing”, but for now here is how and where I’m learning…

An Entire PLR Business Made Easy!

I just wanted to mention something to you that I was talking about on one of my Facebook Lives last week.

I have a complete ready to go system for those who want to make-money in the PLR niche. You can see that at https://readytogosystems.com/sp/your-own-online-business-v1

You can set that up and have your own squeeze page where you can build your list, a special offer that everyone who joins your list sees after singing up, and an entire 31 day email campaign that is monetized with YOUR affiliate links.

It’s all totally “fill in the blanks” and upload. I even have a complete video showing you how to do it step by step.

Now I created a PLR content package that is also on the topic of making-money with PLR and this can be used to market the above once you have it setup. I even have a workshop where you’ll be shown how to use ALL the content in this package.

You can see that at https://todayinplr.com/plr-on-plr

So you set your money-making system up, use the PLR content to market it, and boom. πŸ”₯ You’ve got an entire business and marketing plan.

THIS is what so many of my readers are missing.

You could use this as your MAIN business or even a business to “cut your teeth on” and learn.

These two things alone are perfect for those of you learning or looking for an extra income-stream so make sure you take a look at them and grab them while you still can.

Note: I am doing PLR content packages for the other Ready To Go Systems also and I’ll let you know about those as I get them done.

That’s it for today… Just wanted to mention that because a lot of people are missing out on how easy I’ve made this. πŸ™‚

And one last thing… Thanks to all of you who voted in the poll I sent out.

43% wanted the new PLR package on website traffic (Went to work on this today!)

38% wanted a workshop on launching products (This is coming soon)

14% wanted a Ready To Go System for the resale rights niche.

5% of you wanted “something else” and a few emailed me about what they wanted.

I’ll do this more often so you all get exactly what you want! This was fun!

Building An Online Business

What Is An Online Business Model And Why You Need One!

When you make the decision to start an online business sometimes you have an idea. More often than not though the idea to start an online business comes before you have an idea for the actual online business you want to start. You just simply know you want an online business and that’s it. So, for those of you looking for an online business I want to help you in your search. The best way to get an idea is to look at what online business models are already out there.

First, let’s define what a business model is. Dictionary.com defines a business model as: a design for the successful operation of a business, identifying revenue sources, customer base, products, and details of financing.

So, an online business model is the way you will run a certain online business. The things you will do to get it setup, how you will make money with it, how you will get people into it, etc.Click To Tweet

The first thing you need to do is start researching. If you go to Google and search for online business models you will find a lot of options. I recommend you start there and take notes of all the online business models that you find. If you come across one that you don’t know about, then Google it specifically. Spend some time researching it so you understand it.

For example, when I did this, I found “software as a service” and had no idea what that business model was, so I Googled it and within about 15 minutes I knew exactly what it was all about.

So, spend some time on Google, do your research, and make a list of any business models that sound interesting to you.

Hot Tip: You can also use sites like Flippa.com to find business models. Flippa.com is a site people use to sell their online businesses, but it’s a great research resource too. You may not want to buy an online business, but you can use the site to generate ideas for an online business.

I’m going to save you some time and give you a short list of general online business models right here. Again, if you don’t know what one of these is then do some research and see if it sounds good for you.

The Short List Of General Online Business Models

Affiliate Marketing
Digital Product Creator
Physical Product Creator
Freelancer
Dropshipping
Coach/Consultant
FBA (Fulfilled By Amazon)
Service Provider
Developer
Influencer

Now those are general business models and it’s by no means a complete list. For each of those there are several different business models you could choose. You’ll see this as you start doing some research.

For example, with affiliate marketing. You could create a content site, you could create a funnel, you could create a review site, etc. When you find a general business model that you have an interest in then you need to research and find the specific business model you want to use.

After you’ve done your research and you’ve made a big list of business model options, take each option, and write it on a piece of paper. Make a list of things you will need to do to get that business model setup and working for you. Remember Google is your friend, so you may have to research the setup and running processes for each business model on your list.

After you’ve done this exercise, I recommend that you step back, don’t think about it anymore for 24-48 hours. Let it all just marinate in your brain. Do anything except think about all of these business models you’ve just researched.

Then after 24-48 hours, you will come back and go through all of your pages of business models and notes and throw out any business models that you do not want to pursue. Really think on each one. I know you’ve put some time into researching each of these but throwing them away is a great exercise to do so that you just get it all out of your mind. You’re going to need that “brain space” to choose the business model you actually want to pursue!

Now, at this point you should have just a few business model notes left. Now it’s time to make your final choice on what business model you will pick. You can take your time and think on it, however, don’t let that keep you from making a decision. Also keep in mind that just because you pick a business model doesn’t mean you have to stick with it. Nothing is in stone. Yes, you might spend some time and money on getting a certain business model setup, but that’s all part of the learning process. You don’t have to stick with something you don’t like or want to do. You can always pick a different one if you’re not happy with what you’re doing. The flip side to that is you also don’t want to flip flop between business models. If you find yourself going through a couple and you keep starting over, you’re never going to get that end result which is actually having an online business that makes you money.

What I’ve given you here is a great exercise. It will allow you to thoroughly research different business models to help you make your decision on what business model to start. It will give you ideas for business models. And more importantly you’ll end up picking ONE business model to follow. This will keep you laser focused as long as you keep in mind that if it’s not related to your business model it doesn’t matter.

For example, if you’re going to start a blog and use affiliate marketing to make money with it. You don’t need to know anything that’s not related to that. You can cut through the noise by being very precise in what you give your attention to when you have a fully planned business model.

Hopefully this has given you a plan for how to get started finding your dream business model to get started with for your own online business.

I have coaching programs for several different business models and would love to become your mentor and lead you through creating the business model of your dreams!

An Entire Website Traffic Biz!

The other day I shared with you how you can have an entire PLR business that’s all ready to go!

If you missed that post you can see it at https://tacoboutmarketing.com/blog/an-entire-plr-business-made-easy

Today I want to show you the same thing, but in a different niche…

The Website Traffic Niche!

I LOVE this niche because there are so many online business owners looking for ways to get traffic into their business, so you have PLENTY of easy to reach buyers at your finger tips.

Now jumping in is the hard part, but I’ve made it easy with two things.

1. A completely done for you and ready to go website traffic business!

http://readytogosystems.com/sp/your-own-affiliate-system-v2

With this you’ll get a ready to go squeeze page (with a monetized download page) to build your list, a special offer to allow you to make-money instantly from every subscriber, and a 30 day email campaign that is monetized with 8 different products you can become an affiliate for.

This thing is a full on business!

2. A PLR package that you can use to market this business!

https://todayinplr.com/website-traffic-plr

Once you get the above system all setup you can then use this PLR content to market it via several different marketing tactics and monetize-it even further!

These two things give you an entire business and marketing plan for that business!

You could use this as your MAIN business or even a business to β€œcut your teeth on” and learn.

These two things alone are perfect for those of you learning or looking for an extra income-stream so make sure you take a look at them and grab them while you still can.

Note: I am doing PLR content packages for the other Ready To Go Systems also and I’ll let you know about those as I get them done. You can see ALL Ready To Go Systems at http://readytogosystems.com/sp/all

Okay, I just dropped a lot of information on you. πŸ™‚ But, I want to ensure that you see that I have tons of things you can “plug-in” and start using in your business if you’re in the Internet marketing/make-money-online niches.

I am super passionate about these niches because #1 my people in these niches (I LOVE you guys) and #2 contrary to what the “gurus” say they are amazing niches to get into to LEARN and profit. I’m in other niches also, but this one has my heart.

So, jump in, build something that will make you-money and once you get good at marketing you can go do ANYTHING you want in ANY other niche you want.

Do You LOVE Your Niche?

Hey gang!

The other day I told you about the opening of my latest workshop… The Get An Online Business Workshop!

https://www.LearningIM.com/get-an-online-business-workshop-wp

On Day 1 of the workshop we’re going to be starting from the very beginning of building an online business. I’ve seen a lot of people in niches that aren’t profitable and/or that they don’t love.

Here’s the thing…

1. If you’re in a niche that doesn’t have buyers, you’re never going to make-money in that niche. Do you want an online business that DOESN’T make-money?

Of course not!

You absolutely MUST find a profitable niche to build your business in.

So if you’re not making-money with your online business it just might be that you’re in a niche that doesn’t have any demand.

This is pretty unlikely, but it DOES happen.

2. On that same note you might be making a “little” money in a niche and you’ve tapped it out. If that IS the case (and it could be likely) then you need to learn to broaden that niche and/or pick a more profitable niche.

3. You have no niche. You’ve done nothing to build an online business, and maybe you’re even stuck when it comes to making the decision on what niche to pick.

If any of this applies to you, then you NEED to grab your seat in the Get An Online Business Workshop!

https://www.LearningIM.com/get-an-online-business-workshop-wp

On Day 1 of the workshop I’ll show you how to pick a niche that is PROFITABLE and that you LOVE!

Both of these things are vital…

Yes, you CAN just go into a niche that is really profitable even though you don’t like the niche, but how well do you think you’ll do if you don’t actually like the niche?

I can answer that because I’ve done it…

You WON’T do well. πŸ™

SO I’m going to show you how to uncover super profitable niches that you either like and know about or would like to know about.

Plus I’ll give you several niches that I know for sure are profitable and you can just pick one of those that you LIKE instead of doing the research yourself.

By the end of Day 1 you will know exactly what niche to go into and FINALLY be ready to start build a business in a niche you know will make you-money, and that you’ll enjoy for years to come.

Here’s the deal though… You’ve only got a few more days to get into this workshop at the discounted price. In just a few days the price is going to go WAY up, so make sure you grab your seat right now!

ReadyToGoSystems.com Is BACK!

Hey gang!

One of my favorite brands I have ever created is my ReadyToGoSystems.com brand.

Why?

Because the products and services that have come from this brand have made my people more-money than anything else I’ve ever put out there. πŸ™‚

As the name says … all the products and services are based on PROVEN ready to go systems.

Systems that you can take and setup and start making-money with.

They build your list and make you money with digital products.

Each one I create I test to make sure it will actually work for you and then I spend time putting together tutorials that will help you get them setup. I show you EVERYTHING step by step.

So far I have created a ready to go list building system for the Internet marketing niche that comes complete with a special offer and a 30 day email campaign along with one for the list building niche.

They both have different list builders, special offers, and promote different products with YOU as the affiliate.

These are great because once you have them setup you just spend a little time driving traffic each day and BOOM…. you start seeing the money come in.

You can see these ready to go systems at…

http://readytogosystems.com/sp/your-own-squeeze-page-v1

and

http://readytogosystems.com/sp/your-own-affiliate-system-v1

And YES! You can use both… That would give you several streams of income!

I have plans for several different types of ready to go systems coming up, but if you’d like to give me your feedback with what you’d like to see or if you have any questions then just leave them in the comments below!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! πŸ™‚

It’s the first Monday of 2021 and I’m hitting the ground running today and I hope you are too.

At the start of a new year we’ve all got big plans right? I hope you do, and THIS year I hope you follow through on all of them.

I’m still getting my 2021 planned out and by the end of this week I will be able to show you everything AND give you the tools I’m using to plan my year, so you can do the same thing.

The holidays put me a bit behind, but I’ll have that to you in the next couple of days.

This week I want to focus on those of you who don’t have any kind of online business setup.

Is that you?

I know there are several who follow me who don’t have ANYTHING set up. If you have NOTHING you can’t make any-money. πŸ™

You’re just going to remain stuck if you don’t do SOMETHING!

But where do you get started?

With this >>> https://LearningIM.com/imblueprint

 

In this short video (it’s free and you don’t have to opt-in to get it) I break down EVERYTHING when it comes to starting and marketing your own online business.

If you’ll just give me 15 minutes of your time, you’re going to walk away with a clear start for 2021.

Below that video you will find links to workshops that will also help you do ALL the “pieces of the puzzle”.

Look… You CAN do this. You CAN start your own online business.

I did it 16 years ago at the age of 24 years old, with 5 kids in the house, and a husband who had just lost his job.

No formal education on ANY of this stuff…

I simply had a few mentors I learned from, ignored all the other noise, and did what my mentors were teaching me.

I’d love to be that mentor that changes everything for you, and it all starts right here >>> https://LearningIM.com/imblueprint

Okay, that’s it for today… I’ve got to get back to planning this year out for us, and getting you the tools you need to plan your 2021.

The PayPal Goodbye Wrap Up!

Here we go… The final update on what I’ve been calling “The PayPal Issue”.

I am officially away from PayPal as my payment processor. Not because my account was shut down. I still (at this time) have a PayPal account, but I’m choosing to walk away from them before they choose to walk away from ME!

Side Note: If you’ve missed what’s going on see my Facebook posts on the issues at…

I have a blog post where I sum these up at http://liztomey.com/blog/saying-goodbye-to-paypal

Okay on to the goods here…

I started this journey in April of 2019 and it’s now the middle of August 2019. Almost 4 months of research, reaching out to people, back and forths with merchant accounts, and the list goes on and on.

I kept hitting “walls” and I didn’t stop until I got through them. That’s how you have to be with EVERYTHING when it comes to creating an online business. You do everything you can to get through anything that tries to stop you from reaching your goals.

That’s not what this is about though so I’ll save my “Tony Robbins speech” for another day. πŸ˜‰

This post is to help those of you who are looking to get away from PayPal and who are using JV Zoo and/or WarriorPlus as a vendor or as an affiliate.

First off, you’ve got to look at this from two different sides.

If you’re an affiliate and you want to get away from PayPal it’s pretty simple. A few settings and you’re done.

If you’re a vendor though there are a few things you need to do.

I want to talk about these things separately in this post to help your brain keep them separate. If not you’ll get super confused. I’m both an affiliate and a vendor and my biggest problem I had with understanding all of this was keeping those two things separate.

So let’s start with…

Getting Away From PayPal As An Affiliate Marketer On JVZoo and/or WarriorPlus

This was a WAY easier process for me compared to what I thought it would be.

With JVZoo you need to make sure you have a JV Zoo Pay account setup properly. When you want to promote a product make sure that the vendor is using JV Zoo Pay to pay you your commissions. This will be listed on the Affiliate Details Page where you get your affiliate link.

When you promote the product and make sales all commissions instantly go to your JV Zoo Pay account. You can then withdraw your commissions into your bank account or Payoneer account. You can also withdraw into your PayPal account, but the whole point of this is to get AWAY from PayPal. πŸ™‚

 

I have my JV Zoo Pay account setup so that when I have $500 in commissions they are automatically deposited into my bank account.

A little note here… Some vendors use Stripe to process their payments on JV Zoo. They have to pay you manually. This will be noted on the Affiliate Details Page too. (See the second circle above.) I ONLY promote vendors I personally know if they are going this route. I don’t like having to figure out who owes me money with affiliate programs. That’s why my main rule with promoting something on JV Zoo is that if they aren’t paying via JV Zoo Pay I’m not promoting their product.

Here’s the short of it… The only way you can get your commissions into your JV Zoo Pay account is if the vendor processes payments via PayPal or Bluesnap (which is a merchant account). You then withdraw your commissions in your chosen way. To your bank account or Payoneer account.

Now with Warrior Plus it’s simply going in and changing a setting in your account so everything is sent to your Warrior Plus Wallet. Then you can withdraw into your bank account. Again you can also withdraw into your PayPal account, but uh… We’re getting away from PayPal here. πŸ™‚

The setting for this is hard to find…

Upper right hand corner from the drop down menu select My Account, then Merchant Accounts, then go to Settings and turn ON Force Wallet (Affiliate/Partner).

I can withdraw my available affiliate commissions from my Warrior Plus Wallet into my bank account.

So that has me totally away from PayPal being an affiliate on Warrior Plus and JV Zoo.

Now for those of you who are vendors. Hang on to your hats! πŸ™‚

Getting Away From PayPal As A Vendor On JVZoo and/or WarriorPlus

 

Again, we will start with JV Zoo.

Your options with JV Zoo are to get a merchant account with Bluesnap or Stripe in order to get away from PayPal.

Stripe doesn’t work with JV Zoo Pay though so you have to manually pay your affiliates. I’m not willing to do that. I want to automatically pay my affiliates.

So, I am using Bluesnap so commissions are automatically put into the JV Zoo Pay accounts of my affiliates.Β  I really wish I could use Stripe over here. I DO like it better than Bluesnap. I get my money quicker and the reporting is better.

When the customer buys via a JVZoo button, Bluesnap and JVZoo work together (with some unicorn magic or technology or whatever) and put the affiliate’s commission into THEIR JVZoo Pay account, gives JVZoo their fees, and leaves my profits in my Bluesnap account.

This is all done automatically…

Note: See JVZoo’s documentation on selling on their platform at https://jvzoo.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/categories/200334067-Sellers

No money comes into my PayPal account. It’s all processed by Bluesnap and they automatically deposit my profits into my bank account.

Once you have your Bluesnap account setup and your JV Zoo Pay account then when you setup a product you simply select Bluesnap to process your payments and to pay affiliates with JV Zoo Pay.

So make sure that you get the accounts setup before setting up your product. The initial account setups is what takes the most time. Once you have them setup you just select what you want to use to process payments when you create products moving forward.

On the vendor side of Warrior Plus…

They only allow you to process payments through PayPal or Stripe. Bluesnap isn’t an option over there.

Over there I’m processing payments with Stripe and affiliate commissions are paid into the affiliates Warrior Plus Wallet. Then they can withdraw in their chosen way.

Like with JV Zoo you have to get your accounts setup. I had to setup my Stripe account in there, and then when I setup the product I have to select that I’m processing via Stripe.

So when a customer purchases through a Warrior Plus button Stripe and Warrior Plus work together (again with unicorn magic I think) and aput the affiliate’s commission into THEIR Warrior Plus Wallet, gives Warrior Plus their fees, and leaves my profits in my Stripe account.

Stripe deposits my profits into my bank account daily.

And again… This is all done automatically.

Note: See Warrior Plus’s documentation on selling on their platform at https://help.warriorplus.com/en/collections/170745-selling-on-warriorplus

The big take away here with BOTH of these is that you have to get your “processing” accounts setup first, and then when you setup your product to get your buy buttons is when you select what you use to process payments and pay affiliate commissions.

The Wrap Up

 

I have now done FOUR launches using BOTH JVZoo and WarriorPlus and many have asked me which one I prefer.

Warrior Plus or JVZoo?

I’ve thought long and hard about what I would say here, and even if I would even say anything at all.

Why?

Well it goes back to the old saying…

“You don’t poo where you eat.”

I no longer “eat” at PayPal so I’ll “poo” all over them. I wont however speak ill of either JV Zoo or Warrior Plus because I “eat” at both of these places. Both have their pros and cons.

Let me say that one more time…

Both. Have. Their. Pros. And. Cons.

Like I hate how “clunky” and confusing WarriorPlus can be.

I also hate that I can’t easily tell who pays how and what without some digging on JV Zoo.

I do have a favorite and it’s JVZoo.

There are many reasons and some of those reasons I wont discuss. πŸ˜‰

Both have their pros/cons (as I said), but what makes me say JVZoo is hands down the best is…

1. I personally know the CEO of JVZoo. Laura Cassleman!

NEVER has a CEO ever reached out to me personally to help me with my business. Laura cares about her JVZoo affiliates and it shows. Not only did she go to battle for me with issues with merchant accounts, but has done so for others. Laura is a shining example of what a true CEO is. I can’t thank her enough for her help through all of this.

2. The Support team is phenomenal.

I also know several people from the support team personally. πŸ™‚

JVZoo has a support desk and a Facebook group. I think I used the support desk a very long time ago, but I always use the Facebook group and have an answer within 24 hours to my endless questions. Usually in MOMENTS! That’s important when you’re trying to get a product launched. I need answers and solutions NOW and I get them.

3. It’s easier to use.

As a vendor the JV Zoo system is easier to use in my opinion.

Once you have your merchant account and you’ve gone through all the settings to get it hooked up, using JVZoo to get your funnel setup is easier to use than Warrior Plus. Maybe that’s because I’ve used them for so many years and just get their system or maybe it’s because it is in fact just easier to use. *shrugs*

What I do like about Warrior Plus BETTER though is that I can use Stripe over there and it automatically pays my affiliates over there into their wallets. I like Stripe better than Bluesnap. From the ease of using it to the reports to them paying out faster than Bluesnap. I just like Stripe better.

So there you go… That’s how I’ve gotten away from using PayPal as an affiliate and a vendor on both JVZoo and WarriorPlus.

It’s been a heck of a journey, but I’m really liking running my business without the fear of losing my PayPal account.

Putting all your eggs in one basket is a HORRIBLE idea. I should have NEVER had only one way to accept payments, and I'll never do that again.Click To Tweet

I currently have 4 ways to take payments. PayPal (I refuse to use that one though) , Bluesnap, Stripe, and Cash App.

Cash App? What, Liz?Β 

I’ll be talking about that one in the future. πŸ˜‰

My next one I’m looking to use is ClickBank, but that probably wont happen until early 2020, so stay tuned.
