Also, as commented below - I posted the first of these recurring income threads almost two years ago - I'm now compiling some stats, data and insights [1] for myself so that I can learn how to boost my numbers closer to yours :)
That's actually a good call. I'm already an affiliate from another blog I have. I've been meaning to change those links and I hadn't gotten around to it. Thanks for the reminder.
I guess it was around 864 days ago that I posted the original one of these threads!
My current stats:
$~500/mo from a few supplement related websites, and some fitness stuff. Last worked on these back in April. Total work/month is roughly 30 minutes.
My current project:
Doing the research so that I can boost this to around $5000/mo :)
I figure this is as good a time as any to announce that I'm actually putting together a little recurring project of my own - and it's pretty meta.
It's pure stats and useful information on who generates recurring income, how much work they had to do to get there, what they learned/should've done/shouldn't have done. I'm researching this purely for myself, because I want to get to more recurring income faster (because recurring income is so, so, so freeing) - but a few friends asked me to package it up so I'm doing so!
Check it out [1]. Also I figure I should post it to HN, so I'll update this comment when I do so :)
Thanks guys - and really glad to see this thread live on longer than when I first posted it almost three years ago!
Hey guys, awesome to see such a successful thread.
I'd like to set up some sort of group where we get ~10 people together and then each week set things we need to do, and then next week we make sure the other people completed their goals.
If you are in, post your email as a reply to this. I'm going to use a posterous group to accomplish this - though if there is something else that would work better let me know.
