Without knowing exactly what they needed to know going in I tried to prepare a general overview of how to develop a WordPress theme. But as it turns out, the “students” were on two very different levels, both far below what I was trying to teach. I talked a little too much and too long about template heirarchy and the WordPress codex. But once we started talking about their exact problems it was easy to provide quick answers. I think it worked out well and I hope I can do it again!

Here’s a list of the links that I provided them for future reference:

I know its the magical pot of gold that everyone is searching for, but I really feel that with all my knowledge of web design and development I can come up with something that would really fill a niche need and help me start making some passive income. I just don’t know what that is yet. But some great sites that I have found that are helping me are:

  • StartupFreedom.com – this is a blog with a lot of great articles as well as interested video interviews with entrepreneurs who have made it big doing some kind of online business.
  • I Will Teach You To Be Rich – this one is more personal finance, but it does have some great posts on making money online.
  • Mixergy – just started checking this out the other day. It has tons of video interviews (with transcripts) of other successful players in the online money-making business. Its really surprising how many different businesses that you haven’t even heard of are making millions of dollars each year.
  • Killer Startups – a daily list of 15+ ideas for online start ups. This makes for great inspiration.
