Everyone has a dream, right? Different people have different dreams.
SEOs have different dreams, too. Some dream about speaking at SES. Some dream of reaching $100/month (I think we all dream that dream in our first year!)
There’s another dream which a lot of us seem to share. It’s not written in stone, and there a dozen different permutations of it, but I think it generally contains the following elements:
- Gettin’ that passive income nice and high
- Workin’ for yourself
- Movin’ to the tropical island
For some people, “nice and high” income is 3k/month. (I can attest that this allows a lavish lifestyle in some parts of the world!) For others, it’s 30k/month. (Does six figures mean anything anymore in New York City?) And of course, the “tropical island” might be the mountain lodge in Colorado, the house (paid cash) in Seattle, or even the flat in Dubai.
But you know this dream when you see it, or when you read about it. I think there’s something about the personality of your normal “affiliate” that tends to daydream… or maybe he just looks at the monkeys in the cubicles next to him, and thinks, I know there’s something better out there.

Andy you should come and live in the Bahamas and sit on the beach with your laptop. We have a Tier 1 data center here with a fat internet pipe and miltiple carriers!
you know andy, i just clicked on your ‘the dream’ category and read all the posts… it’s such a great representation of what we’re all trying to do. imho, this set of posts are probably the best on your blog.
I too, have been reading the normal posts and have never looked at “the dream”.
What grand ideas that we sometimes have, but documenting them in blog form and hearing what others think of them and what theirs are too somehow makes ours oh-so-much more attainable, eh?
