This is another very good article from the eBay Selling Coach (see link at the top of my pages).  Suzanne consistently provides valuable information for newbies to long time online sellers.  Her blog is one of my daily stops before starting my day.

Monday, November 8, 2010, Building Passive Income Streams – Anyone Can Do It

People often ask me if all I do is sell on eBay. No. I have many other income streams. eBay is just one of them. The key to making money with multiple streams of income is persistence, time, and commitment. For example, here is my history on eHow – an article writing site.

I started writing for eHow back in June 2007. I didn’t even know the site paid its writers. I was just writing articles about how to do stuff on eBay. In January of 2008, money started showing up in my Paypal account. I have submitted 316 articles to eHow since September 2007. The last article I submitted was in February 2010. (I stopped submitting articles when the system changed and it became more time consuming to write there.) Click here to see my profile. My articles have had over 1 million views in the last 3 years and I am now making about $35 a day and haven’t submitted anything in over 8 months. I now make enough money from this income stream to pay my mortgage.  Continued below:

  • Rapid Development Setup in Large Environments 2011/12/15
    Large development teams with a sizable code base have two conflicting needs: code sharing and rapid developer setup (agility). Teams who are working on different features need to modify common projects and source elements. While code ownership helps, members of the same team invariably need to touch the same components across different features – or […]
