Dumping my mind into gedit is about all I can do right now. There is a flow moving through my head - ideas about making the Web Entelechy tighter and thoughts on models for making money on the Worldwide Web.
It all revolves around building and maintaining a personal flow of information to establish credibility in a niche and mounting a Web 2.0 type of project to incorporate Web aspects of language learning in a unique way. I'd like to do both - which would mean Free Language and Babel Kebab, or something of the sort. The issue I am working with is time...
But what do I really want to do with time?
In my present situation, time can be spent sitting and working online or sailing and learning languages. A vast simplification, and variations can occur within, but it's a fact given my sailboat size (can't fit a big satellite Tech Bubble on top of the mast) and current income vs liability ratio (debts to pay that are getting paid so no flash! with satellite hookups on board - yet).
How am I going to make more of what I want happen?
Application of the 80/20 Rule begins right now!
Of course, that would mean I would need to stop spilling my guts and get to work blogging on Free Language, incorporating the affiliate links more smoothly, beefing out resource sections for each of the languages, etc. I will get around to doing this, but right now, I need to work some things out in my head.
See... this is not just some dude blogging here. It is my heart and soul effort to make a totally free, global lifestyle a reality for myself and for others.
Hence why I ponder on building a solid reputation through content and resource creation online, and entertain building a new type of Web 2.0 language-learning website, one that pays everyone on all sides of the equation - learners included. Both are ways to make this a reality myself while also showing and allowing you to do it, too. You who bother to continue reading or just happen to fall on a nice tidbit on your first visit and decide to subscribe to the feed.
See that's how it flows these days. These feeds are like our most up-to-date take on what's going on in our niches. I have an overload of feeds on Free Language and don't know what to do to keep it all going alone. So many feeds for so many languages... the thought starts to emerge to get individuals to maintain languages and share the revenue. And this will happen, in due time!
Flowing with time here, it's obvious that the more money you can pull out of the least amount of time is key. Even better is to break the link therein. The online work I do is not a traditional trade of time for money, like a Normal Job. It is an investment of time right now for a steady, recurring payout for the "forseeable future" (oxymoron?). The more you understand your industry (niche) and the better you implement affiliate programs without selling out, the more cash flow and "expert" status you build. It helps to be passionate about the topics of your web resources - it'll keep you locked in long hours when the time in needed. That's why I chose foreign languages.
So what I have decided to do is start opening up to the world. I figure I'm just a dude living a different lifestyle. I have learned a few things along the way, but the best is yet to come. The best of how to sail around the world and actually make money online at the same time, how to learn foreign languages using the Web and other resources at your disposal, what the scoop is on the shamanic medicine called Ayahuasca, what it's like to live a life completely out of the 9-to-5 daily world of any country. This is my ideal unrev. Yours will be unique. And since I was cheeky enough to coin the term and start using it, I figure it's time to make it do what it does and that is create free individuals who thrive on their passions.
Welcome along for a ride. Did you get here on your own?
