Excerpt: Making Ideas Happen

June 22, 2010

My amazing wife got me a copy of Scott Belsky’s book, Making Ideas Happen, and I’m super excited to read it.

The premise of the book is that ideas come and go, but it takes work to make an idea happen. Scott Belsky is the owner of Behanc, a creative consultancy company that help major business execute their ideas, host conferences and produce web apps. So far I just read the introduction, and I’m already excited to

May 2010 - Monthly Earnings

June 03, 2010

This was a pretty unproductive month. I got a little overwhelmed with my work and neglected this site. Fortunately, I finished up some of the other work and read a few article that inspired me to spend some time here at EarnWebRev.

On the bright side I made some money from my Amazon Affiliate, and got to see how the transactions occur. So as we go forward I look forward to finish the development of the site and get

April 2010 - Monthly Earnings

May 05, 2010

We’re still try to get off the ground. I completed an extra surveys this month, which made my earnings more than the previous, but nothing significant. In fact, I haven’t even made enough to where they pay you. Once I’ve earned $20 they’ll write me the first check.

I’m still working on developing the site, and haven’t tried to make money yet. So the dismal numbers aren’t discouraging. They’re exactly what I was

Learning About By-Product Income

April 20, 2010

When we build things, our focus is often geared toward the finished product. How do we market it? What improvements can be made? Can we increase sales? All these things are important to being to creating a successful product.

But I’d like introduce you to a different train of thought: By-product income.

An Easy $5

April 14, 2010

A recent CashCrate offer I filled out was a free trial for Stamps.com. This offer, like others, offered me something for participating in a free trial. Once the trial ends you’re automatically enrolled in the progrgam, and that’s how they make money. The trick is to get your reward and get out before you get charged.

They make it really easy to signup and a pain to cancel (i.e. you can sign up online but must

A Teacher’s Passive Income

April 09, 2010

Next weekend, I have the opportunity to speak to a class of MBA students about non-profit organizations using the web to support their cause. It’s a great opportunity for me on a variety of many levels, but I’d like to highlight how this talk will likely lead to passive income - now and down the road.

Rework: the inspiration

I’m reading a book by 37Signals called Rework. It’s an inspiring and thought-provoking book

March 2010 - Monthly Earnings

April 04, 2010

This is my very first monthly earnings report. I want to be transparent on Earn Web Revenue, so each month I will debrief how my month went and share what each revenue stream brought in. I debated on whether to share this (because it’s not very good), but everything has to start somewhere.

So here we

The Customer is NOT Always Right

March 26, 2010

I absolutely love building website with ExpressionEngine. It’s an awesome product that makes building dynamic websites fun and easy.

Last year, I had the opportunity to hear EllisLab President, Leslie Camacho, speak on building the EE community. He credits the community of users as one of the biggest reason EE has been so successful, and gave insight to some of EllisLab’s core values that drive the development of

Potential Revenue Streams

March 12, 2010

I am 5 days into my venture here on EarnWebRev.com, and I’m extremely excited about the future here. The more research I do, the more I realize this isn’t going to be easy, but that’s okay.

I’m not in this earn a quick buck. (Though I often day dream of bumping into Paul Allen in Seattle and telling him about my dreams, afterwhich he writes me a check for at least $1,000,000… that’s not gonna happend). Rather I’m
