Disclaimer: not every week, sometimes I feel like working/coding and work way above 40 hour weeks.

My tasks to keep money flowing however come down to maybe 3 hours a week.

I've worked years to get there, but the majority of my income today comes from:

- 'creative' affiliate sites

- random crypto investments

- a local e-commerce project

I've had AdSense sites and a 'small' SAAS too. But I've sold those. The e-commerce is so that I avoid imposter syndrome (or so), because it's the only income I can actually touch that is more than a few files on a harddrive.

However, I am not rich. I am able to pay back dept from years of trying and life a enjoyable life, which is all I ever targetted for.




Thanks for the response.I am happy for you >However, I am not rich. I am able to pay back dept from years of trying and life a enjoyable life, which is all I ever targetted for. That's my target too


Can you elaborate as to what

> 'creative' affiliate sites

means? Just confused and interested.


If you google anything about affiliate you end up with hundreds of tutorials about building wordpress affiliate funnels or anything like that.

I am a coder :) My idea of "creative affiliate" is building something that users want to use and not something that users happen to end up on.
