Alun Hill’s Secret to Making Money Online: The Magic of Recurring Revenue (Without the Stress)

I know what you’re thinking: “Recurring revenue? Sounds like a lot of work!” Well, let me tell you a little secret: recurring revenue doesn’t have to be a headache.

In fact, it can be the most stress-free way to build a sustainable income online.

If you’re trying to hustle for one-off sales every month, stop it. You’re wasting energy! It’s time to work smarter, not harder. Let’s talk about how to set up recurring revenue the easy way.

What Is Recurring Revenue?

You know what they say: “Make money while you sleep.” Well, recurring revenue is how you do that. Instead of running around like a hamster on a wheel trying to make each sale, recurring revenue lets you collect money on a regular basis—month after month.

How to Set Up Recurring Revenue Without Losing Your Mind

1. Create a Membership or Subscription Service

Whether it’s a membership site, coaching program, or even a subscription box, recurring revenue comes down to offering something that people will keep paying for every month.

• Example: Create a “VIP Membership” for your best customers where they get access to exclusive content or early-bird specials every month.

2. Offer Ongoing Value

The key to keeping people subscribed is to offer value that keeps improving. It’s not just about giving them the same content each month—it’s about delivering something new and fresh.

• Example: If you offer a fitness program, make sure there’s new content, challenges, or bonuses every month. People want to feel like their subscription is worth it.

3. Automate as Much as Possible

Don’t be the one answering every email or sending every single invoice manually. Use automation tools to streamline your business so you can focus on the fun stuff.

• Example: Use email marketing software to send out automated welcome emails, monthly reminders, or bonuses.

Your Action Plan: Create Recurring Revenue Now

Start simple: whether it’s a monthly subscription to a course, a membership, or even a recurring coaching service, get started with one offer and build it into something people want to pay for every month. Start small, but start now.

Why This Works:

When you have recurring income, you don’t need to hustle for every sale. You can plan, you can scale, and you can invest more into growing your business instead of working 24/7. Get started now, and you’ll see how much easier life becomes.

Alun Hill’s Secret to Making Money Online: Don’t Be Afraid to Fail (It’s Just Part of the Process)

Let’s get real for a second—you’re going to fail. Yep, I said it. I failed, you’ll fail, and guess what? It’s totally okay.

In the Alun Hill Community, we talk a lot about success, but success isn’t built on never failing. It’s built on learning from failure and using it to propel you forward. So let’s embrace failure, laugh at it, and use it to our advantage!

Why Failure Isn’t the End of the World

I know, I know—you’ve probably heard this a thousand times, but I’m going to say it again: failure is just feedback. Every time something goes wrong, you get a chance to learn what doesn’t work—and what you can do better next time.

How to Use Failure to Your Advantage

1. Take Risks (But Smart Ones)

You can’t grow if you’re not willing to step out of your comfort zone. Take smart risks that push your business forward.

• Example: If you’ve never run ads before, give it a shot! Yes, you might lose money, but you’ll learn what works (and what doesn’t). You’ll be better prepared next time.

2. Fail Fast, Learn Faster

Don’t be afraid to fail early. The quicker you fail, the faster you can learn, adjust, and try again.

• Example: Instead of waiting months to perfect your online course, launch a beta version and ask for feedback. You’ll learn so much faster.

3. Embrace the Process

Failures aren’t setbacks; they’re stepping stones. Each failure is a little bit of progress that gets you closer to your goal.

• Example: The more you fail, the more you learn, and the more you learn, the better you get. So, go ahead, fail big, and laugh about it!

Your Action Plan: Fail Forward

Take one small risk today that pushes you outside your comfort zone. Whether it’s launching a product, running an ad, or creating something new, embrace failure as part of the journey and start learning from it.

Why This Works:

Failure teaches you what works, what doesn’t, and what you can do differently. Instead of fearing failure, embrace it, learn from it, and keep moving forward. Remember, every failure brings you one step closer to success!

Alun Hill’s Secret to Making Money Online: Scale With Simplicity, Not Stress

So, you’re ready to scale your business, huh? You’ve got the offer, the product, and the audience—but now you’re wondering how to grow without pulling your hair out.

I’ve got news for you: Scaling doesn’t have to be stressful. It can actually be surprisingly simple. The key is focusing on the right systems and scaling strategically, not just throwing everything at the wall and hoping something sticks.

Why Scaling Can Be Simple

When most people think about scaling, they imagine complicated funnels, endless emails, and paying for expensive tools. But here’s the secret: scaling is all about working smarter, not harder.

How to Scale Without the Stress

1. Automate Your Systems

Don’t make yourself the bottleneck in your business. Use automation tools to handle routine tasks, from emails to sales processing.

• Example: Use tools like Zapier or MailChimp to automate your emails, invoices, and follow-ups. Let the machines do the boring stuff!

2. Focus on What Works

Stop trying to do everything at once. Double down on what’s already working and get more out of it.

• Example: If a certain type of ad is bringing in sales, increase your budget for that ad. If your blog posts are getting traffic, write more of those.

3. Outsource Where Possible

As your business grows, bring in help. You don’t need to do it all yourself! Whether it’s a VA or a social media manager, delegate tasks that don’t require your personal touch.

Your Action Plan: Scale Simply

Pick one thing that’s working really well for your business, and double down on it. Start automating small tasks and bring in help for tasks that you don’t enjoy. Scaling doesn’t mean more work—it just means more of what’s already working.

Why This Works:

Scaling is about focus and efficiency. By automating, outsourcing, and focusing on what works, you’ll scale your business without the stress and overwhelm. Get started today, and soon you’ll be scaling with confidence!

Alun Hill’s Secret to Making Money Online: Charge What You’re Worth (And How to Do It Without Feeling Like a Jerk)

Okay, let’s talk about pricing. I know, I know—it’s tough to charge what you’re worth. It feels awkward, and you don’t want to seem like you’re “taking advantage.” But here’s the truth: you deserve to be paid well for your expertise.

In the Alun Hill Community, I’ve seen too many people undervalue themselves. You’re not just selling a product; you’re selling value, and that value needs to be reflected in your price.

Why Charging What You’re Worth is Key

When you charge what you’re worth, you’re not just making money—you’re showing people that you value your work. And guess what? People value what you value. If you don’t charge enough, people will assume your service isn’t that good.

How to Charge What You’re Worth (Without Feeling Awkward)

1. Know Your Value

Understand the real value you bring to the table. If your work helps your clients make more money or solve a major problem, you’re worth every penny!

• Example: If your service helps someone make $10,000, charging $1,000 is a steal.

2. Use Mirror Pricing

Reflect the value you provide. Don’t be afraid to ask for a price that aligns with the results you deliver.

• Example: Charge based on the return on investment (ROI) your service generates for them.

3. Communicate Confidence

If you don’t believe in your price, no one else will. Be confident in the value you’re providing, and customers will feel good about paying.

• Example: “I’m offering this at $X because it will deliver results that will help you achieve Y and Z.”

Your Action Plan: Adjust Your Pricing

Look at your services and reassess your prices. Are you charging what you’re truly worth? If not, make adjustments! Communicate your value confidently, and don’t be afraid to raise your prices.

Why This Works:

Charging what you’re worth doesn’t just help you—it helps your customers too! When you’re confident in your prices, you send the message that you value your time and expertise. It’s a win-win situation!
