About Me
I am a director at a general contract by day but I have done website development as a hobby in my free time for years.
Test Lab for Digital Investments
99% of our family’s investments are pretty traditional – 401k, stocks, etc… is a big part of what we try to do to save for retirement. However, it’s always been fun for me to try out difference passive income strategies. You can say it’s the inner-entrepreneur in me, or maybe just me wanting another hobby to try out, but I have always enjoyed testing different income strategies in my free time to see if they work. I mainly enjoy them and have fun to try different things. I think it started when I used to have saltwater fishkeeping as a hobby. It was a lot of fun, I really enjoy researching a new skill or approach and then executing on it, but it was a very expensive hobby.
When my wife and I had our first daughter, it ccurred to me that some of the hobbies I enjoyed – like fishkeeping and remodeling, would be a little more difficult to maintain with kids. Mainly because they required such a time commitment, the time wasn’t very flexible as I had take care of the fish and associated equipment on a regular basis, and not necessarily at a convenient time for myself and our newly forming family. Finally, the cost of the bigger and better fish aquariums were growing along every step of the way. It finally dawned on me that I needed a more flexible hobby that actually made money instead of spending money!
Strategies I Utilize
These are some of the passive income streams or side hustles that I am currently employing.
Web Development
Digital real estate has always fascinated me. There are, of course, great benefits to traditional real estate but there are certainly barriers to entry and high competition. Website development is kind of like the wild west and that makes it exciting!
Social Media Channels
This is pretty new to me but with the volatility in the SEO search engine world lately (ahem, Google) I felt like it’s the next natural step for me to start exploring new social media channels and the associated opportunities with having our brand in front of a new audience through platforms like Tiktok, Youtube, and the Amazon Influencer Program.
Affiliate Marketing +
Display Ads
This has been one of my mainstays over the last decade or so and one of my favorite methods of passive income. It has certainly changed a lot of the last 10 years and is sure to change again as we move forward.
