Making my website and making extra income

So what does building a site about bipolar have to do with making extra income?

More than I ever could have dreamed . . .

Hi! I'm Sarah. If you read my About me page you know that not only am I bipolar, but that I have had manic episodes where I have done some very dumb things with money. Frankly, my manic craziness took me from being financially secure to a place where I desperately needed to start making extra income.

My dream was to try and regain some of that lost ground with my own business.

After all my manic screw-ups I badly needed a do-over, and I kept dreaming of being my own boss. For me, an important part of staying well is limiting as many stressors and triggers as I can. Working from home on something I am passionate about seemed perfect.

This is my story of how that dream of rebuilding my self-respect became a reality. It came about through building this website - and discovering I could also build a profitable business at the same time.

When I started creating this website, my focus was on sharing my story and as much useful information about bipolar disorder as possible. But I was broke! I was so short of money that even paying for cheap web hosting was a challenge. So I started looking around for website business models that provided positive cash flow, instead of costing money.

What I discovered has changed my life . . .

This website earns me income every single month - passive income - which means that the money comes in whether I work on my website that month or not. Most of it comes through selling my e-Book, The Bipolar Diet and selling Google advertising.

I also refer folks to other products that can help them with their bipolar disorder.

What made this possible?

I'd love to tell you hard work and brains, but a big part of it was just dumb luck.

(Don't get me wrong, I don't believe in online "Get Rich Quick" schemes, you will need to work patiently and persistently in the beginning.)

One day when I was surfing I came across an online community of folks who were all involved in running their own websites. Instead of asking for money, they gave their secrets away for free.

Best of all, there were case studies.

The story that really resonated for me was Shaun Fawcett's. (He is doing even better now!) Click and page down to discover Shaun's story.

Just like me, Shaun had reached the point of thinking he was taking his "last shot" - but in reality, he was "just beginning".

Shaun's story was very moving, and reading between the lines I saw something I could relate to. Something real.

But I still needed a plan and a support system. Here is the FREE info that provided the support I needed.

SECRET CLUE: You do NOT need to be a mom to use this system!

There are dozens - maybe 100s of ways of making extra income online. (You probably get spammed about some of the less ethical ways all the time!)

What I have described here is the way I HAVE MADE MONEY MYSELF AND CAN SPEAK ABOUT FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.

Bipolar is a debilitating disease that can disrupt your work and be financially disasterous. Depending on where you are at, this may or may not be suitable for you.

Working from home gets rid of a lot of stress and triggers - but it can also add some new ones. For example, it does require determination and self-belief. This may be too much effort if you are in the middle of a bad episode. However, if you are getting well and just need to find a way to catch up from your financial mistakes, like I did, then it is well worth a try. If Shaun and I can do it, so can you!

Either way, thanks for reading, I wish you the best, whether it be conquering your bipolar, making extra income, or realizing your own personal dream of freedom and peace, however you define it, Sarah.
