Summary

Making Money Whilst You Sleep

I never believed it until it happened to me

Life has really got in the way.

I’m writing this as therapy.

I haven’t had the opportunity to put pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard) for a week or so, and whilst I had planned to write ahead, again, this has just not been possible.

I’ve missed it, but my real-life work has taken over and that means that the time I previously set aside to write has been eaten up.

Having said that, posting stories that people want to read can have some great benefits. Namely, they lead to an ongoing passive income.

This is just what’s happened with two of my stories. Well, more than two, but two of them have been outstanding.

Definition of Outstanding: Exceptionally good. Although, I think that can be very subjective. So, for me, they were outstanding!

They’re over a month old now but have continued to pull in a small income every single day.

They still do!

Admittedly, not enough to retire on! I’ll continue to work on that.

What were these writings (I hear you ask!)

My Top iPhone Apps

Communication, Creating and Staying Safe

How Obsidian Has Raised My Game

Maybe it can raise your game too

medium.com

Both of these have blazed a trail, as far as I am concerned, and have given me great food-for-thought for stories to write in the future.

They both have technology in common, and that, maybe, is where I should focus my efforts.

Tech.

Stories about tech.

Watch this space as I buckle down and write something deep and meaningful!
