Purpose Concepts

What is your side business? 

We help small businesses get more customers by helping them get on page 1 of Google.

And we also market other people's products and get a commission off what people buy through our recommendations, AKA Affiliate Marketing.

Why did you choose this particular business? 

I got into this business because I could do it anywhere in the world that has a computer and Internet. As a full time minister I was traveling 6-8 months out of the year and still living off of donations from people who believed in what we were doing.

And we weren't getting paid enough.

So my wife and I began to look for ways to make some extra money to supplement our income.

This business will replace our income but it won't replace our job. I actually really enjoy my job and love helping people all over the world. We plan on using the income from this business to pay our bills and the money that is donated to help the people that we serve worldwide.

Advice 

  • Find someone who is successful at what you want to do & model the exact system that they use. And don't give up when you are first learning. The beginning will be about learning and the process will bear fruit after you begin to develop.
