Obviously, if this were easy to pull off, everyone would be doing it... but the idea of not having to trade your time for money in some sort of predetermined ratio really appeals to me. |
I've read a few essays from these entrepreneurs and what they all do to make their money is A) sell books and articles about how to make money and B) have umpteen websites, newsletters and blogs with ads. They get paid for clicks on those ads.
My itty bitty site has Google's Adsense and I've amassed a whopping $42.22 since February. They don't send a check til you hit $100. In averaging $8 a month, I figure to make something I could at least pay a few bills with, I'd have to have about 50 sites and to be able to actually live off something like that, maybe 300. Of course, the more traffic, the more clicks so if my site was actually being seen, I wouldn't need to build 49 more. And regardless of what these people are saying about no work, big checks, they are maintaining sites and blogs to generate income.
Ain't nothing free....
