How I made $237K in only 63 hours (5 income streams revealed in detail)

Let's stop thinking about trading time for money, and instead think about investing time up front, and continually getting paid for that work over time. Here are 5 specific income sources from my own books, and I reveal why they work, and the strategies that keep them going.

Thanks Pat. I am always so enthralled with your coaching.

[@miki_wiki12]

I remember checking your monthly income reports back in the day. Just for funsies, I took a look at your very first income report back in October 2008. You made $7906.55 with Green Exam Academy and I was blown away. Look at you now, over $250,000 in 63 hours. Crazy!!

[@patflynn]

I miss writing those income reports! Back when blogging was the primary content platform for everyone, they were so much fun to write up and share!

[@arpitjain45]

@patflynn please make those reports again

[@AnhDuc-kt5pm]

Hey pat thanks for the video. There is so much info nowadays, where would you start?

[@Michael_aguzman]

Love the videos Pat! I'm wondering how many communities can you create on Circle basic plan?

[@quickpstuts412]

I've been watching Pat since 2010-ish during his SPI days. What people need to know is that Pat is very good at knowing the NEEDS of his audience and is constantly in contact and communication with what people value / want. Then he delivers it. Next, he teaches what he learned. So he basically is creating solid income streams from understanding what people need and then being an excellent teacher sharing what he learned after the fact. Most people have no clue what their audience truly needs. They may have "cool ideas" out the yin yang but do not know how to implement it or give people what is in demand. Just because YOU think someone would buy it, doesn't mean there is a market for it. Pat understands what people need. Everyone is podcasting these days and people need to save time. So he delivered on a product that was in demand. He is a master at this because he UNDERSTANDS his audience, and it's why he's had long-lasting success. I see a few people here doubting him, but once again, you have to figure out what people would buy and then put yourself in front of those buyers with your own community. When you do that, you can make it look easy, even though we know it's not.

Hey Pat, thank you for the video. Can you put some light on making an online course/product and then building an audience for selling it or building an audience and then making an product or course around them?

[@leadgenjay]

Thanks fo sharing

[@Pianobluespiano]

Thank you for sharing

[@AlexHart-ow9wk]

This is awesome 💯

[@aleisiya]

scrolling through the comments, i see nothing pokemon related. the fact that you're practically famous in two totally seperate lives is absolutely amazing!

[@EcomCarl]

your approach of providing free tutorials and then offering a paid solution is a brilliant strategy for generating income while providing value to the audience. 💡 It's all about leveraging initial effort for ongoing returns!

[@Daniela-iy3js]

Hi. I love your energy, and I've just subscribed to your channel ❤ I'm excited to catch up on your previous videos! I have a question: when it comes to becoming an Amazon Affiliate, do I need to have an existing audience first? 🤔

[@JermaineBrantley]

Great video! Love your content! Are you using a screen protector, or pen tip cover, to make writing on your device screen feel more like writing on paper?

[@patflynn]

Nope, just the iPad and pen that goes with it!

[@JermaineBrantley]

@@patflynn Thanks! Watched your podcast "How-to" video(s). Recorded EP. 1 of video podcast today (going to use ipad to produce annotated overlays).

[@varbed]

@@patflynn may I ask how you switch to ipad and full screen (your face)?

[@freddy29228]

Pat, what you're sharing here is Coaching/Strategy. I'm in a few forums and many people are SOOOO confused! They started making chatbots, etc and THEN ask, where can I find the customers? LOL. Like you said, find the customers' PAIN POINTS first (problems) then find solutions for their problems. Your extra tip, is to find what OTHER solutions are out there. Is there any collab potential?

[@kwalkomedy]

Though you've never served in a middle school classroom - I think you'd be an awesome school teacher - you have such a clear, concise and easy way of sharing information that's much appreciated. That is one thing I miss from those Income Stream days.... you just providing a wealth of informatin daily. I know no one wants a '2020 do over', but a quarterly return of the income stream would be fun. just saying.

[@patflynn]

Thank you Kathy, I appreciate you, as always!

[@zinzamailer1601]

Which is better, creating a website and putting effort into it for affiliate marketing, or creating a personal brand and providing a service such as building landing pages? Note that I am 38 years old and I want a source that brings me a reasonable and more stable income. I want your advice. I am good at designing landing pages and Ad Creative design. ..thank you

[@patflynn]

Both will work. Having a website is important regardless, but it's what you put on it, and the kinds of things you're trying to do on it that matter and help determine the best business models. I think you could potentially do both - offer services and such, but then for those who can't afford your services, or, even those who can, you have recommended products from affiliates that you promote.

[@zinzamailer1601]

@@patflynn ​If you understand us, it would be better to have an affiliate marketing site, or rather a service agency site that has a section for articles that promote companies through affiliate marketing, instead of separating the two things, bring them together on one site, a special section for providing landing page and AD CREATIVE design services, and a BLOG section that contains marketing Affileate articles. Commission for all companies that provide programs and services, even if they are similar to the services that I provide.. Did I understand this correctly? Thank you for your cooperation

[@ankitkawatra3172]

Thanks @Pat for sharing the useful information. I started blogging a few months back and thought to generate some extra income from the ads sense and Affiliate commission.But after writing a few blogs and not getting the traffic..Feels demotivated.. Please guide.

[@patflynn]

For affiliate stuff, find the ONE product that you can get behind and become the top voice for that with the platforms you have.

thank you for sharing,may i ask what camera are you using?any telepromters?

[@BAINYHIDAYATTULLOH]

Vidionya bagus ,dan mudah mudahan saya bisa sukses seperti anda👍👍👍

[@BunnyMahajan]

I have always respected you Pat. I know you from the days when you had a duel competition kind of thing with another blogger. Love your work. If i remeber correctly I have been following bits and pieces of your work form the very beginning. I often wonder if there is any other people like me who have not started yet even after knowing you fromapprox 15 years!

[@patflynn]

15 years that’s wild! Thank you for following on the journey for so long, and you’re not alone a lot of people have kept up for a while, but I also invite you to take action too it’s never too late!

[@BunnyMahajan]

@@patflynn Thanks for the reply. 15 years in the making! I have recently joined the introductry course of aliabdaal and am thinking of either going with you or him or both to give me the required push. I have a rather modest Goalof being able to make a $1k on the side while keeping my day job. I get overwhelmen by what to do as there is SOOOO much. iin past i have tried a few courses but they are all more marketing that actual results.

[@dsd5705]

I am a newer subscriber, watching your presentation on another channel and you have gained supreme credibility because you know “1.21 gigawatts” is the best line from any movie 🤣☺️

[@patflynn]

100% the best line from any movie. Thanks and welcome!

[@tube-master]

Taking the affiliate marketing route is a flexible, scalable, and relatively low-effort way for content creators to monetize our work and enhance our income streams. 💪

[@tube-master]

@-Descriptionn 🤔

[@billypetts]

Now that I think about it I’ve never seen Pat Flynn and Deep Pocket Monster in the same room 🤨 😂

[@patflynn]

LOL

[@CircutCircus]

I feel like pat would’ve made an amazing college professor.

[@patflynn]

Thank you for this comment, for real 🙏

[@rushinshah2892]

Thanks pat for doing this. I have been following you since your early days at spi. I learned the concept of seo through your podcasts and blogs. And then learned a lot through our community and was able to land a job in the seo space, and now currently making $5k per month, and i am from india. So its a great income as per indian standards. Just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart, as it all started because of you..

[@patflynn]

Thank you Rushin, means a lot that you’re still here following even just a little bit! Keep up the great work! 👍

[@AIAffiliate88]

Only if Google doesn't just take away your traffic

[@quickpstuts412]

That’s why you build a community outside of Google and not have to depend on it.

[@luxurycardstore]

Easy peasy getting it done if you have 441K subscribers on your KZbin channel, and several thousand email subscribers. You rarely mention the elephant in the room....

[@patflynn]

A KZbin video performing well has nothing to do with how many subscribers you have - any one video can blow up from anybody no matter the subscriber count, so that kind of thinking is already putting you at a disadvantage. Everyone starts at zero. Plus, many of the campaigns were run before the channel got popularized. I don't mention the elephant in the room because it's obvious, you need to take action to get in front of people - if you think this is going to fall in your lap out of nowhere and you just have to get lucky, you're thinking about it wrong. Plus, there's people with way more subscribers who aren't generating this kind of income as well, so it can't be the subscriber count. Success is relative to how valuable you are to the people on the platform you're on, and the platform itself. Go be that.

[@BunnyMahajan]

@@patflynn With due respect to pat for putting in the effort to create all his work. @luxurycardstore does have a valid point. However, I reckon the elephant in the room is "what pat knows". I have no doubt if someone stripped away all Pat's existing channels and platforms he will still be able to generate income, even witha new name. Maybe not in hundreds of thousands, to begin with, but he will be able to survive.

[@quickpstuts412]

I know someone with a channel with 200K subs and a huge email list subscribers and made almost nothing. It’s not about how many subscribers you have. It’s about do you know how to make products that convert? Most people struggle with this part because they focus on building followers, but then don’t know what to do with them once they are there. Turning people into buyers is the hardest part. Getting all those followers is just the beginning. Pat had a whole lot of success even before he had this popular channel. Face it. The guy is just good at what he does.

[@CuchBe]

I think you are lying. AM can NOT reap this amount of money in this period of time.

[@patflynn]

What would you like to see to help you, and why would I risk my 15-year business reputation lying? It’s not easy but it is possible.
