Whether you are new to internet marketing or not I am sure you have heard of the term multiple streams of income before. The idea of setting up 15 web sites that each make $150 every month seems very appealing. The real question is how many people actually accomplish this?

If you are not focussed and lack direction you can be always working but never really achieving the end result that you have in mind. This often happens when you start spreading yourself too thin. You are working on one project and at the same time you are always researching the latest news and trends in internet marketing.

When someone starts a new money making project or venture things always seem very exciting at first. Then suddenly the excitement starts to trail off when the money isn't coming in. At the same time you read about the latest piece of software or the hottest new program that will "guarantee" results.

Suddenly, that big bright light bulb appears over your head... "this must be the answer I was looking for!" So you buy the product or join the program only to be just as disappointed as you were initially with the first project. You then become a virtual frog hopping from one program to the next or from one business idea to another. Does this sound familiar?

This trend can manifest itself in many forms. It could be relating to product development. A hot new idea for a new product can come along which you then start working on. Things are going fine for a few weeks when you suddenly get an idea for another product. You then start working on the new product as well. Trust me, I have been there.

Realistically, you will get faster and greater results by staying focussed and sticking to one thing and one thing only. The money will come faster this way. For example, let us say that one project takes around 4 weeks to get going. If you get sidetracked with 4 other projects it will take 5 months before you see a dime.

Not only that, your work might not be as good as it could be because you aren't as focussed. If you are only concentrating on 1 thing at a time your thoughts will be much clearer and your ideas will come much faster. Once you achieve success with your first project automate as much as you can and then move to your next project.

The first thing you need to do is to brainstorm for a couple of days and pick a business model that you can get excited about. It should be something you can be passionate about and something that you can see yourself working hard on. Remember, treat it like a business!

There are many different types of business models to choose from. You can develop your own information products (e-books, audios, videos etc.) and sell them directly from your own web site. While the rewards can be huge this will generally take the most work.

If you enjoy writing you can find a topic that interests you and make a site catered to Google Adsense. I have made in excess of $300 a month doing this with only 100-150 visitors per day.
