Here is a bit of my story and how I achieved that.\\nTranscription:\\nSome of you may know that at the age of 28, I achieve financial freedom through my online businesses, but not many of you would know exactly how I did that because I haven't really talked about it. So in this episode I want to talk about how I achieved financial freedom at the age of 28 through passive online businesses. So I'm just going to kind of talk about my journey, how I got started in this sort of stuff. What I think is required to create an online passive income business and how you can go and start to learn about that in more detail. I can't cram into one video exactly how to do what I did because it happened over about a 10 year period and that's not going to fit into what a 20 minute video or however long this ends up being, but I can share my story and hopefully this inspires you to go out and look for ways that you can generate passive income either online or offline.\\nI started getting into learning how to make money online when I was 18, so 10 years before I achieve financial freedom through making money online. That's when I started learning about it, so it wasn't something that happened overnight. There wasn't some get rich quick scheme or anything like that. I was 18. It was my first year out of high school and I was reading a blog or had downloaded an ebook where someone had talked about going from scratch, so absolutely nothing and how they made $100 in 30 days and so they showed how they created a free blog and they started selling tee shirts and they created this income doing that and then reinvested the money to grow the business even further. And so as an 18 year old, this was extremely inspiring to see that you can go from literally nothing. So they took none of their own money to invest into this and then they started making money.\\nSo to think that at the time I didn't have much money. How can I go from earning nothing to making money online? And so I did basically exactly what the book did, I tried to copy it, set up a free blog, tried to create some t shirts that I could sell and sold absolutely nothing, got hardly any visitors to my blog, if any at all. And then I started looking at, okay, well how can I get more visitors to my blog? I started stealing content from other people's websites and putting it out on my blog because I wasn't a very good writer at the time and I didn't know what to write about. I started about 10 to 20 blogs at that time, all of which failed. But I learned a lot along the way and they didn't cost me any money to set up.\\nSo once I started doing that, then I learned that you kind of need to have your own website and your own domain. So I started investing some money into that. It wasn't a lot to get started for a domain, maybe $10 for a domain. Talking about five to $10 per month for hosting. Started getting into started blogging. I started blogging about all different sorts of things. Didn't really have a clear focus on how I was going to make money. I did that for a couple of years and didn't make very much at all, but I did make some money online and I knew that it was possible to do it. I found some strategies that worked better than others, so I would double down on those strategies and I would say growth, but it never really saw the income that I wanted to see come out of it.\\nI also did a bunch of freelance writing at that time, so I was paid to write articles. I remember having to write 100 articles on Bluetooth headphones or like Bluetooth. What do they call, you know there's earpieces that you're talking to. So you're on the phone and using a Bluetooth earpiece. This was about eight years ago or 10 years ago now, so back in 2008, 2009. This sort of time. But I remember having to write a 100 articles on Bluetooth headsets and that was just not a lot of fun a..."
