Live where you want. Work when you want.

Green mountains. Pounding of the surf down on the Pacific. Toucans and parakeets in the trees. That's what I see and hear each morning as I start my work day.

I used to live in a crowded, polluted, not so friendly city, with an hour commute to work and back. I never saw my family.

A year off work leads to a new life adventure - building my own website

My wife and I decided to take a year off, and travel with our kids to Costa Rica. While living here, and thinking over ways to restore some balance to my own life, I discovered a solution that can work for just about anyone: building your own money-making website.

A year ago, I never would have dreamed this was what I'd wind up doing now. And I certainly would have dismissed the idea it could be profitable.

But my website, Green-Energy-Efficient-Homes.com, has gone from just an idea a mere nine months ago, to a website that gets more traffic than 99% of all other websites in the world. It made over $500 a month this April, $650 in May, and probably $1,100 in June. By year-end I could be making $2,000 a month or more.

Work for yourself - set your own hours, control your own destiny

In fact, my website's practically on auto pilot now: I can turn off the computer for a week, or a month, and the site keeps on making more and more money.

There are thousands of people like me who have made a transition to work-from-home, independent website owners. Many of us have left jobs in the city, and moved to the country, where the pace is more relaxed. Many started out with no computer or HTML knowledge, and no idea what their website might be about.

All you need is a computer, Internet access, and the desire to try something new.

But don't just take my word for it. Find out exactly how I turned a passion into an online income or read my review of Site Build It, the product and process I used to create this website.
