Hello from Cortona, Tuscany, Italy!
I’ve decided that it’s time to write about something most important to me and to many others: how to establish a secondary income that can help to prop up one’s real job, also known as a ‘day job’. This is particularly important to me as I don’t actually have a day job any longer. Why is that? If you are curious, let me know and that’ll be the subject of a future post. For now, suffice it say that this isn’t going to be a multi-level marketers soap story nor is it to be a door-to-door subscription selling story. It also isn’t about finding a part time job to work more hours in a week that already likely takes you further away from your family, friends and loved ones than you want to be. I am writing about my journey into new technologies that are rapidly changing this world we live in and how you and I can profit from them.
The evolution of the Internet is about as big a deal as there is in my lifetime. It truly has changed everything we know about communicating, about shopping, about monitoring our health and about monitoring the lives of both friends and strangers through this thing called ‘Social Media’. There’s a lot of people smarter than me who have also figured out how to make money by using Internet software and technologies and that’s what this blog is all about. If you’ve fallen asleep already (as my wife does at hearing the word ‘computer’), then that’s fine by me. All things aren’t for everyone. However, if you’ve had an inkling that maybe, just maybe, you could develop some sort of income if you understood how to use the Internet in a different way, then this might be for you.
You are welcome (and encouraged!) to follow me on this journey into YouTube ads, drop shipping, Google’s AdSense, trend watching, ad payment networks, printing on demand, affiliate marketing and social media. I will be sharing the good, the mistakes and the interesting here in hopes that my adventure will lead us both to a place with a margin of improved financial health. If all of my experience and the research I’ve done to date together with the research I’ll be doing along the way amounts to absolutely nothing of monetary value, then your only loss will have been the time to read what I’ve written. You will gain, though! I can absolutely guarantee it! You will learn something and with that knowledge, you will be able to be more comfortable understanding this Internet thing and how it’s already changed the world for us.
Whether your generation is the Silent one, the Boomers, Gen X, Y or Z: It’s time to get going!
Until we meet again,
Kevin
