Despite some ethically dubious suggestions and a healthy dose of nonsense and self-promotion, The 4 Hour Work Week has some very helpful material relating to this topic. It's worth reading for the genuinely valuable ideas in amongst some less great material.

I'm interested in hearing the experiences of any LW members who've managed something like this as well.

Ha, I just added a reference to it in the post. I think the most valuable parts of The 4-Hour Work Week were actually the lifestyle parts: where and how to live cheap while having fun. But I think he handwaves the whole 'find something you can sell' part of the process. User:Kevin has had some success with a similar business model though; he sells kratom over the internet.

User:Kevin

Isn't he just "Kevin" to those of us who subscribe to roughly human distributions of terminal values?

What's wrong with saying "User:Kevin"?
