I think some people are mistaking passive income relating with actual work to be involved. I would think all you’d have to do is check up on it a couple of times a week and that’s it.

…Work less and work smarter…I am looking forward on your 2008 perspective when time comes and how you then explain what you did in 2007.

At the moment I have started my new job and can call myself ‘webdeveloper’ for shizzle! I guess that’s an amazing start of a new year and I consider myself very lucky! Before this I was strugglin’ to get by as a freelance webdesigner, so a nice steady job and income will take a load of my worries.

With actually but one thing in mind…Create some nice websites!

I very much agree with that. Happy clients are an enduring source of revenue, and they tend to grow with you over time. But, I would consider that a sort of passive-marketing or passive-new-business rather than passive income. We still have to source the work that we do for our clients, which is profitable but not as profitable as relatively passive activities such as mentioned above.

Certainly, though, good client relations is the best way to win ongoing business!

I agree that it is always good to develop passive income alternatives. However, a well run business can develop it’s own passive income through customer service. Returning customers are often more profitable then new customers, and they come to you through past experience, rather then expensive advertising. My goal in 2007 is to focus on developing better relationships with my current clients.

They are all related to entertainment, jokes, comedy. They aren’t just built for adsense, but they are simple sites with static content, i.e. flash animation, etc. The entertainment field doesn’t pay well, but it’s very stable.

To date, we’ve created 9 and purchased 4 websites which generate a combined income of over…

Are all of these websites of a similar topic? Are they all just built for adsense? How do you find the time to manage 13 sites?

Sounds very similar to my own objectives. I have one piece of IP, derived from a client project that I’d like to expand and roll out to more companies. It currently generates nearly 20% of my income and is almost totally passive. If I can get one or two more companies using that I’ll be happy.

I can also relate to the need to separate work from home. Thinking and checking work tasks at home makes both professional and personal time less productive and enjoyable.
