This website isn’t just my hobby, it’s also a big second source of income. And you could do the same.

I don’t actually have any professional background in the coffee industry but, over the years, have built up quite a body of knowledge on the subject. I just love coffee, and thoroughly enjoy writing about it and helping others.

But while this site is certainly a labor of love, with over 700 pages and counting, it is also a source of income for me. In fact, the monthly revenues from this site now pay my mortgage, car payments, utilities and more. That’s not bad for what is essentially a hobby site.

I mention that not to brag, but because you could do the same.

I don’t mean you should write a website about coffee, like this one. But maybe you have your own interests, hobbies, causes or passions you could write about.

Is it really possible to do this? Yes, it is.

Thousands of people are doing the same. For some, their websites become the family's principal source of income. For others, they use the income for savings, or to take vacations, or to save up for their children’s college education, and so on.

And while I do have a professional background in creating and writing websites, I haven’t used that “professional” side of my life to build this site. I use the same set of tools used my tens of thousands of other people, who don’t have my experience.

These tools are packaged together in a service called Site Build It!
