To me, passive income is to make content based sites, streamline traffic sources, paste ads and check back twice a month to see how it goes.

So, if I have 10 sites each making $100/month "passively", that's some nice passive income on the side.


My parents were on Human OS, never tried to switch them to Linux. Have I missed something?


How do you find clients? Can your mantra work from someone outside US trying to offer exceptional services? :)


Here's how we do it on the low end: - email a lot of business owners: "you're site could stand some help. Care for me to send some ideas?" - those that reply affirmatively, you send ideas and end with a CTA to schedule a call. - those that accept a call, you chat about their business and goals and how you might help - you now have a pipeline.

My company targeting this kind of cold outreach can typically pull one or 2 recurring paying client out of 100 cold emails. That's 100 outreach which products approx 15 people who give the affirmative reply (15%) which leads to 3 or 4 calls which leads to 1 or 2 clients.

It's a slog. But the math works and we have a system down for the outreach so it's very repeatable.


Good to know the old school way still works. Kudos.

I am in the process of moving my digital life to Notion. This includes my huge collection of bookmarks, 40+ browser tabs, dozen or so text files and content of some spreadsheets.

Here's my work in progress: https://imgur.com/a/LKY7RlP


My go to folders that are usually backed up.

/downloads - for all downloads under respective sub-folders like /media, /books, /software etc

/projects - personal projects

/freelance - for the freelance / consulting work with a sub-folder for each client

/business - accounts, taxes and stuff

/my-name - personal stuff including scanned documents, pictures etc

/archive - random stuff

I currently have lots of files on the Desktop which requires sorting out. Most of these are either text files with notes and ideas and some PDF. I am planning to move them into a system like Notion.so


Do you blog? It would be great, and beneficial for most of us, to read more about your thoughts and reflections :)


Thank you, but I do not blog regularly. It's an interesting idea, though, and I appreciate the sentiment. However, none of these are my thoughts, and all of them are easily discovered in the same places I found them myself! :)


Or can we conference call to connect and explore these things further?


I use Todoist to plan my life (and work), and try to stick to it.

If you are interested to know what is Todoist and how does it work, I have written a blog post on it. Have a read.

This is what got me through college. Since then I've continued using it for everything from appointments to bills and I never forget to do anything I put on it.
