The Manual #61 - Making internet money
The moment you make you first dollar online, your brain will literally rewire.
This is what happened to me when I first started. My first internet money came from selling icons for Android phones. I really had no idea what I was doing, I was winging it 100% of the time.
But I remember, when I made those first few dollars, that was the moment my life changed forever. I knew I couldn’t work for anyone. I knew I couldn’t make money through the traditional way of selling your time. I came to the realisation that I could make money from a digital product whilst I slept.
From then on, I have been making and selling digital products. I knew this was the ultimate way to make almost passive income.
A canon event.
I don’t think most people realise, but making money online is literally easier than ever.
Above is just a screenshot from one account. I’ve sold products across various platforms and tons of different websites.
There is so much money to be made out there that it’s downright exciting.

With the new version of iOS coming out later this year, and the introduction of the new glass style design language, I just had to put together a new wallpaper pack. Based on the palette pack, this has more of a glass effect.

A collection of links to stuff I think are worth sharing.

Figma plugins — beautiful website listing some figma plugins.
Queue — a minimal and simple podcasts app.
Goods Jack Cohen — I need to make a website like this.
Cobalt — lets you download almost anything.
Epa-1 — teenage engineering made an electric bike/moped, and I want it.
Chronicle — like an aesthetic powerpoint.
Dia Browser — switched to this new browser, trying it out for the next few weeks.
What I’m building right now
Online Creator Course — learn how I make money from digital products.
Video Creator Course — teaching people how to make high quality video for socials and the web.
iPhone Creator Kit — we’ve made a ton of new presets and will be releasing one new pack every month going forward. We’ll also have an early release bundle for anyone who wants to save some cash and buy them all at once.
Do I love to rewire my brain. Thanks for sharing man, I appreciate your words.
