How to create income without a job
August 26th, 2006 | by lissie |So the basic problem how to fund our lifestyle without jobs ? At this stage I think a lot of people go too hard and look for another job. Logically however I think its easier than many people believe. Obviously there are 2 sides of the equation - income and how to get it and how much to cover our expenses?
Must admit the “how” has had be stumped for quite a few years. The only other way of making an income was having a business. But business is about selling either a good or a service - and I am no good at selling and not at all interested in it - this seemed to be a bit of a show stopper really.
I looked at franchising too - but most of these so-called businesses are really just “buy a job” - they don’t create any passive income or an asset you can sell - you are just selling your personal labour - pretty much I am doing now at a much better hourly rate!
Currently I have two real options
- aggressively trading shares with the aim of earning about 20% on capital and
- becoming a wemaster and making money from sites that I want to develop
Both I think are options and diversified at that - but unfortunately I have quite a steep learning curve on both - so its getting more and more attractive to quite the IT game at the end of Sept when the current contract expires.

Welcome to the blogging world
and your plans all sound quite adventurous…I am quite jealous although having children is an adventure in itself and we even manage to travel…
