Want to make some extra income? Easy just start a side hustle. Rolls eyes and scrolls onto the next one. Even as I write that term, I get a shudder down my back. It’s almost become a sullied term. So from here on in we won’t refer to it as “side hustle”.

We’ll also not refer to it as “passive income”. The term makes for enticing headlines and makes you feel warm and snuggly, doesn’t it? But it’s somewhat misleading as income typically demands some level of effort. At best you might see “semi-passive” income but even that’s perhaps generous.

For many years I’ve searched and tried various ways to create additional income streams both online and offline with little real success. Over the last year however, I’ve made more progress and this has predominantly come via starting a website and monetising via (a) affiliate commissions and (b) ad revenues.

This is actually far simpler than it sounds. But let’s be clear just because it’s simple doesn’t mean it is easy.
