How To Start Making Money Online – Even When You Don’t Have Many Subscribers with @PatFlynn


We’ve been interested in bringing Pat Flynn from Smart Passive Income on the show for a while.  You’ll really enjoy this interview about how a “normal” blogger can make money online – especially because Pat doesn’t make his income selling “how to make money online” courses.  In this interview he shared with us some of the principles that guide his approach to building his business online, and specific tips and techniques he used to grow his income, his blog and his Facebook fan base.

Listen in and you’ll learn:

  • How he became an “expert” – by publishing his notes while he was still learning
  • How selling his first ebook made him more money in its first month than he did in 3 at his old job
  • Why you don’t need a huge fan base to start making money online
  • Why you can make money online without selling products about making money online ;)
  • Strategies and techniques to recruit affiliates
  • Why some marketers give away 100% commission on ebooks
  • How to build a huge fan base on Facebook
  • The one easy thing you *have to do* so you don’t waste your time and lose potential fans on Facebook
  • The future of Smart Passive Income
Pat blogs  transparently at Smart Passive Income about his businesses,  strategies and income.  He aims to show readers exactly what he does so that you can learn and be successful online too – from both his success stories as well as mistakes and failures.  Follow Pat on Twitter @PatFlynn

    I'm always interested in more angles of Pat's story. Down to earth, real, applicable actions. Anyone can be a content provider, generate success and income...get on it!
  • Nice interview guys. I love Pat he always has something interesting to say.
  • Taking BOLD MOVES! That about sums it up.

    Pat, you are an inspiration. Thank you for all you do.

  • Found my way here via Pat's site. Looking forward to listening to this interview as well as others. I've been looking for a podcast that interviews bloggers that are making a decent money.
  • What a great interview Srini! Thank you Pat for all the generous information and wisdoms. It's obvious it's coming back to you (both) many-fold. What a tremendous model for the New Way of Be-ing In Business. Yay!
  • Nice interview - good questions and whenever I had one in my head you asked it within a few minutes - nice job.

    The opposite of "stupid active income" - good one!
  • This is such a great interview. I enjoy going to smartpassiveincome.com and its one of my favorite sites. Pat is a really humble guy and he knows what is talking about, I think thats why he will keep succeeding, besides how many people he will keep helping.

    Srinivas great interview! Just awesome job and keep growing man.
