My primary frontend blog/website (https://www.impressivewebs.com/ https://www.impressivewebs.com/) is mostly passive, I post maybe one article per month, usually not even that much. The blog has been active for about 10 years, so I get lots of SEO traffic, which brings in about $400-500 per month.
I also sell ebooks that are compilations of articles and tips from my newsletter (see below) on Leanpub and Amazon. (https://leanpub.com/b/javascriptdombundle https://leanpub.com/b/javascriptdombundle)
My main newsletter (https://webtoolsweekly.com/ https://webtoolsweekly.com/) is now also a regular income stream (about $400-700 per month and growing), but not exactly passive. Takes regular research, writing, etc. But it’s fun to do and leads to all sorts of paid tech writing projects.
Finally, my newest newsletter (https://techproductivity.co/ https://techproductivity.co/) is not yet making money but that’s starting to change as the subscription number has started to rise to a decent number and it’s very easy to write that one, maybe 2 hours of work per week.
- rhlsthrm 7y agoThis is awesome stuff. This is exactly the type of content I want to start creating (development blog, newsletters, etc). Do you think it's better to build your own blog site if you were starting now as opposed to using Medium or something?
- ImpressiveWebs 7y agoYes, I think your own site is best. You can do Medium too for promotional reasons but it’s good to have your own brand and own your own stuff.

- Nadge 7y agoSpent an hour on impressivewebs.com before I realised! Great blog, thanks for sharing.
- ImpressiveWebs 7y agoThanks! Glad you liked it. I wish I had time to post more on there, but I’m happy with heat I’ve produced over the years.
- yitchelle 7y agoImpressive numbers on your newsletter projects. My newsletter project on Project Management is not working well at all. Congrats on the success!
- ImpressiveWebs 7y agoWhat’s the URL for your newsletter?
- yitchelle 7y agoThe landing page is here. https://mailchi.mp/8e0622427dd5/prjmgrwkly https://mailchi.mp/8e0622427dd5/prjmgrwkly TIA for any hints you could give.
- ImpressiveWebs 7y agoThanks. My suggestions would be to get a real URL/website and design a logo. That might cost you but it will look more professional and will give people the impression that it’s “here to stay”. I’ll include it as a link in my smaller newsletter to help you out with promotion!
- yitchelle 7y agoThank you for so much for the advice and adding a link in one of your newsletters. That's a good advice, i will have a look at what I can do.
