This is a huge topic and is one that you must completely understand. Otherwise, you will get ripped off and lose a lot of money. Let me explain what multiple streams of income are and what they are not. Multiple streams of Income are a concept that many millionaires use to have many revenue avenues. Michael Corcoran, who was the founder of the first multiple income stream marketing system on the internet in 2001, would agree with this concept.

When this multiple income stream system was founded, Mike never imagined how those so called "guru's" would take take this concept and use it against people to rip you off.

Multiple income streams was intended for a person to start a business with one company, affiliate program, MLM or direct sales company. It was intended for a person to master one program, have success with it for a minimum of one to two years and then add another business to the portfolio when, and only when, the first business was running on autopilot. While still running the first business, putting little time into it because it was running so well, focus a little more time and money into the second business to get that one up to speed where it was duplicating the results of the first business. This is how you can double your results. Like, I said, it usually would take a year or two to get a business and multiple incomes up to the level where they were running on autopilot.

Stay focused on your original businesses for a couple of years and then start to implement a third and fourth one to add to your portfolio. If you add more than one in a year that simply says that that person is a program jumper.

Program jumping is becoming more and more popular these days from these so called "internet guru's". This is a typical case in which someone is a program jumper. Watch out for these people. If someone has joined three programs in 6 months time, they are a program jumper. Program jumping makes sense for the leader of jump. They usually say things like "Bran New" or "Get in Early" or "This one is so much better". The truth is, they take all the followers from program to program to program. They make excuses of why they left to old program to find another one. The truth is, they have suckered all the people they can sucker into the first program and their income is suffering, so they say they've found a better mouse trap over here, so come and join me over here and you'll make a ton of money with me over here.I know people who have joined 5 programs in 7 months. Anytime a new program came on the market, they were in it, suckered all the people they could into it until the next new program came about.

There are people who will put together a system with marketing tools,capture pages and professionally written letters, then once they get your money they jump ship and do it over and over again.

Use your common sense and you should avoid most program jumpers out there. If they show any signs of jumping from one program to the next....run for the hills.

Follow these critical tips and you will avoid a huge amount of time,energy and money.
