Costs are still same, but sales are lagging. This alone is bad enough for your business, aside from depression that could set in and cause you to be less productive.

So to step aside from that and get your business back to creating type of income that you are used to, even when people just aren't spending as much, here are a few tactics to create instant surges of cash, with very little work.

1. Run a "clearance" sale

This is an easy one. Simply run a special sale on one of your products. Here are a few ideas:

- We're Over-stocked so you can order at 20% off...

- The manufacturer gave us a good deal, so we are passing savings on to you...

- We have a warehouse full of already-opened, but perfectly normal products that we are going to sell for half off..Only 54 units are available...

2. Offer an extra bonus

Here is a simple idea. Create a new, exclusive bonus to offer to everybody who orders within a certain time frame.

This bonus can be an audio interview with a recognized industry expert, a special report, a new gadget, whatever.

Tell them that they can get this special new bonus if they order within 5-15-20 (or however long you want to give them) days from today.

If your bonus is of high value, many people will order your product just to get bonus. Either way, you still get sale.

3. Joint venture to increase value

You can joint venture with a complimentary product owner and offer each others products as a package for same price.

So if I sell a product for say $39, and you sell one for $39, my traffic and your traffic can get both products for $39 if they order within a certain time frame.

This is more drastic, but *definitely* gives you an instant surge of new orders. You can usually get these kinds of deals quickly when JV partner sees instant potential it can have.

The Real Estate industry is a classic example of this. Yet some people stay in industry year after year, regardless of 'booms'.

The consistently high performer will get results no matter what circumstances. I find it's down to attitude. Some people look for circumstances in a victimized kind of way, to justify their poor results. They celebrate their good days, but in down times, they have their 'safety net' of excuses ready. What they are doing, is giving negative thinking a lot of power simply by spending precious energy and time dreaming up and focusing on their 'reasons why it won't or didn't work' etc.

Any time you offer your subconscious a choice between two goals, one negative and one positive, you risk it taking on negative one. Which one do you give most focus to?
