In this groundbreaking segment set in the Interview Lab of the Gifted Underachievers clubhouse, James asks Dobes to explain her ability to come up with alternate revenue streams. She’s got courses, books, and the infamous Pleasure Journal.

The questions are simple: Why did she think these items were a good idea? How did she develop them? What about audience, pricing, and marketing? Can “passive income” ever be truly passive?

The answers reveal that alternate revenue streams can be very useful not just for cash flow, but to expand one’s interests, provide needed information to other creatives in the field, and become part of the conversation in and about your industry.

Questions for Listeners:

* Do you have alternate revenue streams?

* If yes, what are they?

* What’s your one-sentence view of the term “passive income”?

* What’s your top piece of advice around creating alternate revenue streams?
