Passive income and the ability to earn money online on the outset can seem like something that requires little input to make successful. The truth is there is nothing ‘passive’ about earning money online.
Welcome to Anomalous Educator, where each week award winning entrepreneur Ray Blakney, sets out to explore the world of education and online business with the help of successful professionals.
If you’re an educator, entrepreneur or someone who wants to improve people’s lives whilst having your own freedom, then this podcast is for you.
In this episode of the Anomalous Educator, I speak with host and creator of the Extra Pack of Peanuts podcast, Travis Sherry.
Travis is known as ‘the frequent flyer guru’, he travels all around the world on an impressively tight budget - without skimping on luxury.
His podcast has received over one million downloads and has been downloaded in over 180 countries, so when it comes to podcasting, he can talk the talk AND walk the walk.
Me and Travis really get into it on this episode, with a focus on what we all want to know – making money online.
We share tips, tricks and advice, compare microphones, and converse about why it’s important to focus on creating decent content, instead of just increasing your web traffic.

- The two steps you need to take if you want to start a successful podcast
- Finding your niche
- How to find great interviews
