Multiple Streams of Income!

Multiple Streams of Income

I have always had and promoted multiple streams of income so if one drops off you have something to fall back on and I have done pretty well over the years. I was able to retire at 49 (60 now) and live off my royalties and side stream income because I live off grid with no house payments and no utility bills.

I write off grid living guides and design off grid cabins, vardos, tiny house and other off grid project plans and sell those at a low price from my website and through Amazon and other sources. I collect residual royalties on books, ebooks and videos through Lulu, Amazon and Youtube. Money I make is used to help design off grid housing for homeless veterans, people in need and pay for materials for projects I build to show people how it is done.

I am also an Amazon Associate and make video and written product reviews and have an Amazon store for off grid equipment.

I own solarcabin channel on youtube and have been producing off grid and homesteading videos since 2006 before Google owned youtube. Over 250 videos of all the projects and adventures I have had over the years and still making videos. I also write songs and those songs on the first video are some I wrote and play and "I am my own man" has now been recorded by a few other artists for their albums.

I owned a local pest control business for many years and set my own hours and had no boss to answer to. I built up a large base of customers as families spread the word and word of mouth and having a good and honest reputation is how you build any business.

If you have a talent. skill or can produce something in demand from your homesteads you should have no problem starting a local business but know your local laws and get a license if needed.  Some businesses are strictly regulated but online businesses not so much.

Come on by my website and channel and have a sit on my porch and join the off grid community for daily updates of my adventures with Taz and Tuffer dogs!

I merged your stuff with the following thread. I hope that is okay by you.

I listened to Paul's residual income podcasts fifteen(?) years ago. I got started in youtube and now have a few ebooks. I know airbnb isn't a 'residual' income but it is one that pays all it's own bills and makes your tax burden lighter. Growing a garden to feed your airbnb and allowing them to help with farm chores gives you five star ratings but also lightens your farm work burdens. Here is a video I made about revolving homestead income where everything brings in a little and feeds the next part of the cycle.
