I still remember the day I made my first “real” income from Simple Programmer

I know, kind of pitiful right?

Today Simple Programmer generates close to $65,000 per month, and it all started with that $10.91.

Let me tell you though, I was RIDICULOUSLY proud of that income.

Even though it wasn’t much, and even though I was making a lot more from my 9-5 job…

Earning this money felt SO satisfying.

Because it meant that I had a way of making money that was completely my own—and no one could just take that away from me.

My income from Simple Programmer started as a tiny drip.

And when I started to see some momentum, I didn’t want to stop.I went looking for more revenue streams. I added a second, and a third, and a fourth…

Pretty soon I was bringing in $100 a month here, $500 a month there…

$500 a month is nothing to sneeze at, especially when it’s completely “passive”—and not tied in any way to your current job.

That’s enough to cover a car payment, or keep the lights on and pay the grocery bill.

The Knowledge That, No Matter What Happens, You’ll Always Have Some Income You Can Count On

That’s a game changer for your confidence and sense of security.

Having a “cushion” like this gives you options: You can choose to accelerate your goals, like paying off debt. You can invest the money back into your career through education. Or you can start investing for your retirement…

And it’s really up to you how far you want to take it.

In my case, I decided to grow Simple Programmer to a full-scale business…

One that pays me a comfortable 6-figure salary while also affording me the time and freedom to pursue other goals in my life, like my recent tour of China with my wife and daughter, or entering the San Diego Rock and Roll half marathon…

Recently I got asked in a podcast interview whether it was possible for a software developer to make serious money with their blog.

Is the success I’ve enjoyed with Simple Programmer just a fluke—or is it something that you could experience as well?

Here’s what I said: Anyone can start a blog and within a year or three, you can be earning $1,000 a month, or $2,000.

BONUS: Exclusive “Open Kimono” Tour of My Simple Programmer Business

Recently I hosted a “look over my shoulder” presentation for a select few diehard supporters of Simple Programmer…

In this video, which is not for sale anywhere else, you’ll watch as I fire up my screen sharing software, open up the Simple Programmer books, and step through my income streams line by line.

You’ll see exactly what strategies I’m using to monetize Simple Programmer—and how much revenue each channel brings in.

When was the last time someone offering you “business advice” was willing to be that transparent with you?

As you can see, I’ve packed a LOT into this short course.

This package represents 7-8 years of hard-won knowledge that I’ve accumulated while building Simple Programmer from a brand new blog to a 6-figure business.

And let me tell you—If there was any way I could stuff myself into a time capsule and zap myself back to 2009 when Simple Programmer was just getting started…

This knowledge would have earned me thousands of dollars—even hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Back then I’d have jumped at the chance to pay $500 or even $1,000 for this information.

And it would have been well worth it, because the investment would have paid for itself hundreds of times over.

You won’t have to pay $1,000 for this information, though.

If you know me, you know how strongly I believe that every software developer should have a blog.

And I know firsthand how motivating it is as a blogger when you see dollars flowing into your back account as a result of the words you write.

I want you to have that same experience—to feel that surge of enthusiasm when you see people actually willing to pay you for your ideas.

So I’ve decided to set the price tag on this course low enough so it doesn’t break the bank.
