Welcome to The Extra Money Blog!
You are here because you are interested in expediting your wealth creation through passive income opportunities, online and offline entrepreneurship ventures and solid personal finance discipline.
All these topics are related to money; making more of it, saving it, investing it, growing it and protecting it. The good news is that you can do all that in your spare time without having to quit your job unlike what many Internet Marketers will tell you. Take it from someone who built multiple streams of passive and residual income while maintaining a full time successful six figure salary corporate career.
I tend to focus on long term wealth building opportunities that are “passive” in nature, which means you work hard now for a little bit to enjoy the rewards later on and for long term. You won’t find get rich overnight ideas here, but I promise you that you will find ideas that will make you richer a lot quicker. Two years is quick relative to thirty years isn’t it?
Is This the Right Blog for You?
This blog is for you if you are interested in what you have read so far. Many readers of this blog are typically successful individuals who already have decent jobs but want to get ahead further and faster in life.
Some want a more luxurious retirement, others want a sooner retirement, some others want to quit the 9 to 5 routine to gain the freedom and flexibility they seek in life and some just want to keep a successful and decent paying career but at the same time make extra money on the side.
Whether that is an extra $1,000 per month or $10,000 or even more, it is totally possible. Again, take it from someone who has done it already.
What Can You Expect From Me?
I tend not to write just on theoretical topics, but rather enjoy dissecting topics and getting into the details on how to implement the theory. You will find my articles practical, actionable and from a first-hand perspective.
This means that I write from experience, and you can take what I write and almost always implement it right away in whatever it is that you are doing or want to do. I don’t have a concrete writing timetable, but I typically post two to three times per week.
In addition to articles, you can expect instructional podcasts, how to videos, interviews with other successful professionals in the topics I discuss on the blog as well as more granularity on each of the topics mentioned below. I recommend you go through the articles below chronologically.

Making Money from Real Estate Investing
In addition to investing in the stock and bond markets, I tend to invest a big portion of my online earnings in real estate. I like acquiring newer, quality properties at significantly undervalued prices and rent them out to quality responsible citizens. Real estate is “real” in that it is a physical, tangible asset that I can see, smell, touch, feel and make physical use off immediately. From a financial perspective, real estate has tremendous benefits. Most of the wealth generated in this world has been generated from some form of real estate investing.

In 2005 I founded an e-commerce business which I sold in 2007 for $250,000 to a top Ebay Power Seller. This was my first “big success” online, which opened up the flood gates to where I stand today. You can read about my experiences with E-commerce here.
