Maybe you should just start writing novels right away. Doesn't look like the right piece of advice for someone who just wants to start being self-employed.

This is the first time I’ve read that article all the way through and it’s brilliant.

I realise I’m a year late, mwahahaah.

But thats life. Need to live in a poor country with cheap internet access, I live in fiji but our internet access is expensive.

Also, if you consider SEO consultancy to be a part of your plan I have no doubts. While I belive SEO will not look the same 2016, of course your business will changem along with it, just as it happens in any industry. So, I guess my comment was mainly about the "passive income generating system". Btw, we should be out in the sun. :) Jim,

There is something in what you are saying. Although I do not believe that SEO services and links will not be needed anymore something could happen. But this "something" has in this case be major such as the whole internet system being changed and SEO is no longer needed or something. If I then cannot make money on SEO, links and my web sites I guess the plan B would be to write and sell books and make a living out of that. This "something" would not happen in the next 10-20 years, at least ... IMO. Hi Björn and thanks.

However (and this could end up in a really loooong discussion), putting all your egs in the same [type of] baset is generally not the way to go if you want to live of this kind of system for tens of years. Maybe you have a plan to do so, but your income from the Internet will never be a life-long life-line if the money don't first go in to a really safe investment (such as bonds) from which you make the actuall money you spend on a daily basis. The best uf luck to you and congratulations so far! Jim,

By 2007 I plan to have 100 web sites and by the rate it is going now I will make it. Links will always be needed for SEOs and webmasters and my new link program will provide quality relevant links on my network of sites. I have clients craving for links and I know that the demand is there. Frankly, I am not worried. By 2007 I plan to have 100 web sites and by the rate it is going now I will make it.

Something new or better will come out that will change the rules and make much of our work today no longer lucrative.
