Hey, I recently bought the millionaire's fast lane, and I read about 7 pages before I discovered this site. I bought the book at 2pm, its now almost 9pm and Ive been on this forum and some passive income sites all day. Im planning on finishing the book today. I'm so inspired by the book and all that I've read here.
Here's my background
Age 12: Started writing for Helium, Associated Content, and other article services. This was before the market was over saturated and I managed to make enough to buy a bunch of (mostly useless) domains and hosting. I didn't really care about money when I first started, I just wanted to write. I made about 150 dollars in total from writing, nothing to an adult, but a fortune to a 12 year old lol
Age 13: I started a site about paintballing even though I never played paintball. I used Adsense plus some other ad services and made like 200 dollars.
Age 13 (2): I started making beats for fun, and made a youtube channel, had about two thousand subscribers and I made 15-20 dollars a month from adsense. I sold a beat every once in a while and I spent whatever I made on headphones, music software, etc. For those not familiar with music production, when you sell a beat, you can sell a lease, which allows the buyer to record a song and sell it on itunes, and other music stores, or you can sell an exclusive, which allows the same rights as a lease to a greater extent, plus the beat is exclusively owned by the buyer.
Age 14: Bought a domain and started selling beats via soundclick. Sold 4-5 leases a month at 15 dollars each for about 65 a month, with 10 dollars operating costs monthly, so I made 55 dollars in profit. I also sold an exclusive every now and then for 200 or more. I started taking music more seriously and i promoted heavily, increasing revenue to 140 a month on average.
Age 15: Continued with soundclick, using what I made for music equipment.
Age 16: I realized that music production alone will not get me where I want to be financially and now Im focused on building up my passive income. I found the need for a a site with music production as my niche. I would have original content, ebooks for sale, plus resources for music producers that I could sell such as drumkits (ZIP files of drum sounds that producers use to create beats) and project files of beats to teach others how to make beats. I'm hoping to implement this in a month or so. I also started my own site to sell beat licenses, and I made 45 dollars in the first week of that. There are a few sites in the music production niche, mostly tailored towards marketing, and using old strategies that fail to take into account the sheer number of music producers there are, and my competitors (I use the term loosely as I know most of them personally), do not focus on the actual creation of music. Im going to be selling some of the marketing ebooks made by my competitors as an affiliate.
The years ahead: I hope to make a decent amount of money with my first niche site, and start a second one, tailored to tourism in Sudan, where my parents are from. I've yet to think this idea through. I also want to create other niche sites, and use those to build up my passive income. I would like to expand from that and use what i make to launch a real business, of which I have many ideas.
Skills: Music Production, songwriting, piano, amateur graphic design, writing, wordpress

Thank You,
