There is no shortage of ideas for making money online. Start a YouTube channel. Write an e-book. Build a newsletter. Try affiliate marketing. Start freelancing. Sell digital products. Open an online store. If you’re trying to build your way out of the hamster wheel, finding ideas is rarely the problem. Choosing one and actually doing
I should probably start this one with a disclaimer. I’ve never tried dropshipping. So this isn’t a step-by-step guide from someone who built a seven-figure dropshipping empire from his bedroom. Instead, I wanted to understand something much simpler: Is dropshipping still a legitimate way to build an extra income stream – or is it mostly
ExitLab was a place for experiments. It turned out to be one itself. When I launched ExitLab, I wanted to document real projects as they happened—the successes, the mistakes, the numbers, and the lessons. I believed that sharing the journey in real time would create more value than simply writing about the final results. After
Creating one digital product probably won’t get you out of the hamster wheel. But it can be a very good start.

After a short summer break, I’m back. Earlier this year, I started building an online business. Stepping away for a couple of weeks gave me something I didn’t expect: perspective. I realised that I hadn’t just spent the first half of the year building projects. I’d been building the ability to build projects. That may
Affiliate marketing is often presented as a simple formula. Find a product. Add a link. Earn a commission. But I think the real formula looks very different. If you’ve followed this series so far, you’ve probably noticed a pattern. We started by exploring the tools you’ll need. Then we looked at freelancing as one possible
Over the past few months, I’ve talked quite a bit about wanting ExitLab to become more than just a series of projects. I want it to become a way of working. Instead of guessing, I want to test. Instead of assuming, I want to measure. And instead of trying to read my way to every
My intention with every ExitLab project is to share regular updates as I build. This eBook project didn’t quite turn out that way.
