Yes! People think it's impossible, or scammy, but that's only because they don't understand that passive income is about building something that REALLY provides value. Do something amazing, help other people do something amazing, and help connect people with what they want.

Traveling and doing it cheaply is easy. I have a ton of posts coming up about how I did this. Here is a video where I talk about how I built my first passive income business--this was featured on Tim Ferriss's blog.

Live cheap and travel to lower cost countries. I spent less than $400/mo in India!



How did you get featured on Tim Ferriss's blog? Just from all the kissing up you do in the video? (probably a good strategy....)

We've been working on doing a video blog, but at this point its just experiments.. haven't had a chance to fully do it yet.

Impressed that you fit in a 28L backpack. We started off with 55L, and just recently upgraded given that we weren't' able to carry our bags aboard on some airlines, so we're planning on checking bags now.

Your automation is impressive. How do you find the writers? I guess this would take a lot of work to setup like you said.... I think we might be doing things a bit of a harder way than you are.
