A lot of people were surprised when I brought out iFart. Until then, I was best known as an AdSense expert. I\’d written a book that explained how to make money out of content by putting Google\’s ads next to them. It was serious stuff with serious results, but it took serious effort to make it work.
So I follow that up with… an electronic whoopee cushion?
They shouldn\’t have been surprised. I\’m passionate about doing new things and making money online. I have been since I first went online back in 1995. I love looking for new ways to attach earning channels to my websites. I love seeing the money come in, I love getting that KaChing, and I get a kick out of sharing with other entrepreneurs how I did it.
But I also love playing around. My first experiments with computers didn\’t turn me into a coder. They turned me into a gamer. That\’s another passion. I still play World of Warcraft, and I\’m getting a real buzz out of all the things we\’re planning to do with GameDock, our latest iPhone app.
It might look like there\’s a big difference between those two parts of my life. It might appear that there\’s nothing in common between my desire to see the Web as a giant business opportunity and my love of gaming, but they do have one vital thing in common.
I\’m passionate about both of them.
Building a website and monetizing it isn\’t work for me. It\’s fun. It\’s a thrill. I love the development and I love watching it grow.
Sitting with my family and playing in a fantasy world is a blast. I\’ve been doing this kind of thing a long time, and it doesn\’t get old.
That I can make money out of both of these things isn\’t a coincidence. It\’s not good luck that lets me make money out of my passion; it\’s my passion that lets me make money.
That\’s the Internet\’s biggest opportunity. The things you love to do are also the things you know to do. And the things you know to do are the things you can earn revenue showing others how to do.
When you\’re looking for your next business opportunity, you don\’t to look any further than your biggest desires.
