Studio Rockstar

Welcome to an experiment. What’s this experiment? Well it’s something that’s a product of my own curiosity and an outlet for thoughts I feel don’t otherwise belong elsewhere. What’s all that mean? Well, I guess I better start from the beginning so you can get a better understanding.

A quick introduction

Let’s start off with a quick introduction. On this blog, I’ll be referred to as K. Why not a full real name? Well, to keep things simple I’d like to remain semi-anonymous. I’m sure if you really wanted to know who I was, you could figure out pretty easily (or even by asking me). But for the time being, I’d rather not disclose my identity publically because I’ll be discussing some things my employer may interpret the wrong way — and this will keep things much simpler.

As of current, I work at a leading interactive agency. I’ve always had my side projects, and over the years have owned dozens of sites of which some make some money, and some don’t. Overall, I don’t make a terrible amount off my sites because it’s never really been a focus. Right now I’m making around $500-800/mo off my sites: which is a nice bonus, but hardly anything to brag about.

What this blog is

As I stated earlier, this blog is an experiment. I’d like to start detailing my path towards creating new sites and monetizing my existing ones. A while ago I realized that while I absolutely love my job: I just don’t think jobs are for me. Perhaps it’s too much of my own father in me, but that whole nine to five thing doesn’t sit too well.

I’d much rather not work at all: or rather work for myself. Keep in mine that absolutely does not mean freelancing. I am about 98% confident that if I chose to work as a freelancer, I could earn a decent income. But here’s the dirty little secret: freelancing sucks. My goal in the next five years is to get to a point where I don’t need a job. I’d love for my projects to earn enough money that I can focus solely on them.

My focus for this blog is to detail that journey and help others create sites that earn passive revenue. Another wonderfully evil plan is for this blog itself to earn passive revenue. Often people don’t realize that the best money-makers online are the ones talking about making money online.

Hope you stick around, I’ve got a lot of exciting things to talk about.
