Though as a freelancer you're mostly dealing with an intellectual trade, I think it's worth building some human capital in a more concrete trade - namely, reselling. My familiarity with eBay helps give me access to good income opportunities, and also helps me travel light in a guilt-free fashion (when I don't want something in my life anymore, like my Xbox 360, I just sell it on eBay).

When I need some cash, I just hit local yard/garage/estate sales, buy stuff there for dirt cheap, and sell it online. I've actually been relying on this quite heavily for the past few months because I'm moving and desperately need new furniture. I'm trying to parlay my knowledge into another income stream by blogging about how I make reselling a livable income. I don't really know how that's gonna pan out, but given the economy, people probably need a new source of income (and not a lot of people are doing what I do).

I’m self employed and I’m just trying to learn other multiple streams of income that are out there that I can incorporate into my schedule and on my own time…..

Multiple income streams? I’d be pretty satisfied these days to have any. That’s my life right now.

The world is just waking up to the idea of multiple income streams – but watch out, as it becomes a more popular way of organising your life, the financial institutions are going to try and hold us back. Currently, unless you have a regular 9-5 job (or perhaps if your a self-employed builder) you can probably expect your bank account to be frozen at some point and forget getting a mortgage. Interesting times to come!

Multiple streams of income is my middle name and I wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s not just for the security though, I just have a hard time doing the exact same thing day after day. I need variety.

Web hosting and domain registration is very passive, although not terribly lucrative. I also design e-newsletters and there is a revenue stream from that as the client continues to use the product.

Blogging as a source of income has grown over the last few years.

If your site is content rich and the blogs are search engine friendly then income can be generated from Google Adsense and affiliates links.

This regular income can help anyone who’s appointment book has some empty spaces.

Mike – I marketed my training class via blogs, Twitter and targeted emails to clients and people who had expressed an interest in the past. I don’t think it was a particularly effective marketing technique. I’m going to try to expand the marketing efforts for the next class, but I’m still deciding the best way to expand it.

Writing articles for additional income depends on who you write for, why you do it, and your personal situation. I write for this blog because I love it and have fun doing it while also being compensated for my work. It also gives me additional visibility to potential clients. Writing will never pay me as much per hour as my consulting gigs, but I like doing it and get other benefits in addition to the money. It certainly isn’t a good option for everyone, but I like it.
