- | ===== The Passive Income Experiment ===== | ||
- | I made a JavaScript app and scored $50 in 3 weeks. That project gave me motivation to do an experiment to deliver twelve things of value in 12 weeks. Here's what happened with that first project. | ||
- | |||
- | Eight months prior I was reading a post in an entrepreneur forum and decided to write a script that would "like" Instagram posts automatically. I wrote a comment on that post, told people how to use the script, then forgot about it. | ||
- | |||
- | Months later a user contacted me and said the original script didn't work anymore. I checked my web site stats and found that the page was getting a few hits a day and decided to try to use that traffic to my advantage. | ||
- | |||
- | I created an extension for Google Chrome and published it to the Chrome Web Store. I sent email back to the user pointing him to the new extension. The next day I had my first order and a few more slowly trickled in. | ||
- | |||
- | I bought a domain for 88 cents and put together a tiny web page. I used a free service to host the new web page. My total expenses were $5.88. I received $48.37 over the next three weeks. That's 823% profit, if I don't count my time. | ||
- | |||
- | I'm now going forward with my goal. The first 3 projects are delivered and two others are planned. More ideas are swimming around in my head and I'm sure I'll start to organize those soon. The last project will be a book that talked about the whole process. I'll discuss the success and failures of each project and give details about what was accomplished and how. | ||

- | If you want more information, please subscribe my mailing list. It's listed near the bottom of The Passive Income Experiment page. I plan to send a quick email every week as I deliver something new. | ||
