Let's Setup Shop
The first thing that I needed to do was setup shop and spread the word of my findings. Which basically translates into "I'm setting up my website so you have something to read". There are many ways to get something up and going, I happened to choose a custom solution because I have a background in web development. However, this kind of solution isn't for everyone as getting bogged down with technical details can really be a pain when you just want something to work for you fast.
Luckily for those of you whom don't want to mess with the technical aspects, there are better ways of getting your message out. By now, everyone and their brother has heard of blogs or blogging. It's become the latest and easiest way for people to spread the word about what's on their minds. The platform that I think is the best, and the most inexpensive, is "Blogger".
A Little History
In order to give this website a little credibility, I thought I might give you a brief history of why I created it. I, probably not to much unlike yourself, was frustrated with my current working situation and acquired some pretty hefty debt living a life that I couldn't cover with my paychecks. Even with two adults working, me full-time, and my wife part-time, it became increasingly difficult to pay off credit cards and business loans. I, with the help of nobody else, had gotten my family into a terrible mess, and it was up to me to get us out of it.
Let's Get The Show On The Road
Now that we are fully acquainted with what we are going to do here, I think it's time we get going. Basically I'm going to go through the process I used to start building residual income from my blog. I want to prove to you that anyone, and I mean anyone can create something that you can get paid on while your sleeping. I know that sounds like a fairy tail, and for some it is, but it's possible because it happens for me every day.
I learned long ago, but not before it was too late, that working for someone else is not going to make you rich. It will make someone rich, but chances are it's not going to be you. I needed to stop trading dollars for hours and build something for myself that will pay me for my hard work.
Make That Decision
The first step is usually the toughest step. In our case the first step is making a decision as to what we are actually going to do to make some cash. Keep in mind that what we are actually doing is creating a model that is repeatable and that promotes our desire for passive income. We want to make money for a long time, and create something that will pay us again and again. We aren't trying to create some "Get Rich Quick" scheme, nor are we trying to create something people don't need.
Really what we need to do is think about the things that we know a lot about and share that content with others who might be interested in knowing more about your subject. It will make more sense with an example, but instead of using an example, lets start to build something real and see how it does. That way we'll be able to see exactly how things are progressing and it will be real, not a theory of how things should work.
Don't Waist Another Day
Everyday that your not writing is a day wasted that you won't be able to sell your information online. When I set out to write a book, I try to break it down into manageable pieces. The first thing that I always do is outline. I'm sure there are fifth grade teachers everywhere cheering for joy, because the writing skills you learned in grammar school are going to be very useful in creating your ebook.
What follows is the outline I used to create my “Blogging with Blogger and Get Paid by Google”.
eBook: Step By Step is Finished
As you can probably notice from the time of the last post, that I've been up to something. Well that something has been finishing my ebook on how to create ebooks. That seems to oversimplify things a bit, so let me give you a little more indepth review of my new book, and what it's all about.
If you've been following this blog for any amount of time, you'll know that I've been very interested in creating something that will sell it'self over and over again, with minimal effort. When I say mininimal effort I don't mean every touching it again, no I mean not recreating something each and every time it's asked for. After trying to find recources and information on creating eBooks, it became clear to me that there wasn't any good resources out there to walk me through what I wanted to do. So I went ahead and created my eBook to do just that, walk you through how to create an eBook.
Time To Get Going
The summer is almost over, and it's time to get back to work and start getting this blog active again. The question now is what will my next adventure be? My last ebook sold so well that I was able to take a few months off and just enjoy my family and have some "Fun in the Sun".
But now the kids need to get back to school and a new adventure must begin. Over the summer I've come to realize that a lot of people are out of work or struggling with their day to day finances. I know because at one time I was one of them, and for me starting an online business was just what the Dr. ordered.
