Hi Jason,

Great post. Entrepreneur is right, this isn’t anything that’s new. That’s why it is so great! Repitition is the key. Even though people see these lists over and over again, there may be the one day they read it that they actually execute one of the ideas. That action may reinforce their belief in their ability to do it and Voila! They are on the road to producing income. I coach entrepreneurs around this very thing. Its what you already know and can do that will earn you income. Rarely is it something that you have to learn from scratch. Even if you do an MLM, their is the inner belief that the product is worth selling and can be sold by you. Where most people get hung up on is the “how”. They are usually less certain about how to go about it. When in doubt, ask. Ask someone who’s done it and try it for yourself. If at first you don’t succeed…you know the rest. Good luck!

Amazon's great too for books, movies, etc. The amount of people on Amazon is ridiculous and when I sold textbooks in college I was shocked by how many books old and new I could sell. Austin @ Foreigner's Finances Austin´s last post ..The 5 Books That Changed My Money Life

yah ive had great success with ebay sales it has been a great cash cow for me……if you ever need some extra cash just sell some of your old stuff on ebay. I personally think sometimes since we’ve been online for a while we forget how it felt when we first started and we should be more understanding of others point of view…

Entrepreneur – differing POV’s are great! No offense taken, and I totally agree with you. No one was surprised by “make money doing something you love”, however, just because someone has thought of it, doesn’t mean they’ve done it!

My hope is more so that people become inspired to take a leap and go for an opportunity to make money doing something they love. Of course, it’s not a new idea, but perhaps someone needs to read about an example of someone having done it so they aren’t afraid to do it for themselves.

People always say, “knowledge is power”, but I don’t believe that – knowledge in and of itself won’t do anything for you. Applying that knowledge is what creates power!

Hopefully we’ll inspire someone to take a leap and apply the knowledge to start a little income journey doing something they really enjoy.

Hey Jason,

I personally love reading about finance and investment-related topics. And somewhat similar to you, I went through the educational requirements for the CFP exam (though I haven’t decided to take the exam at this point).

So going along with your points about making money doing something I love, and using my “expertise” to make some side money, and reading successful blogs such as this one, I was inspired to start my own blog. Though it’s been a slow process and I haven’t made a dime from it yet, I’m trying to learn everyday and get better at it. Hopefully it will come in time.

Cool post!

I appreciate the effort here, but these are mostly very general and obvious ideas. “Make Money Doing Something You Love”? Seriously, do you think anyone went, “My God!! I would NEVER have thought of that!” ?? Or, “Make Money Doing Something You Love”. Come on, that’s on every list we’ve ever seen, no new news there. You have a great blog and are trying to help people, but more innovative ideas would help people much more. Give them a starting point. Provide something no one else has on their blog – that’s the key. This is constructive criticism because I’m not only pointing out the cons, but providing an alternate way of doing this. Hopefully it won’t be taken as an attack, simply because my POV differs from some.
