Why Should You Listen to Me (Little Bit About Me)
I have been a member of Project 24 since May of 2018 and Project 24 has helped me make my first dollars online!
Hi, my name is Michelle and I feel, as a foundation and current member of Project 24, that I can give you an honest insight as to how the course is presented.
Outline all the benefits as well as point out any cons that I have come across during my time as a member of Project 24.
Before you listen to anything I have to say about making money online here is a little history about my online journey “SO FAR”…
This course is not my first foray into trying to find my place online. Before Income School around 2010, I purchased an internet business package for $4,995.00.
By the end of this course, I was meant to own 2 ebooks attached to 2 money-making websites!
Then, of course, go ahead and rinse and repeat to build a profitable business online.
I can say this now – LOL!
Needless to say, I am not sitting on top of a successful eBook empire – but the training I received through that course I still drawn from today, so all was not lost.
Later, I taught myself through free online courses to build WordPress niche sites. Unfortunately, when you teach yourself it is hit and miss as you are never given the whole picture.
I then paid for a very expensive drop shipping course which cost $1,500.00 but I soon found out that due to my location that it would be very difficult to run this type of online business – for me!
The upside of the dropshipping course is that I became very confident building websites before finding online marketing and blogging again.
I then found a very successful affiliate marketer that resonated with me so I purchased courses from him ($595.00) I even spoke to him from the other side of the world.
But once again I was always purchasing more information and following a trail of paid information but it never successfully got me to the place I wanted to be.
After building a website with this teacher I found the Income School Youtube Channel around the end of 2017 and started to implement their free teachings to my existing site and it started to gain traffic.
Well, that was it for me I was about to go all-in and purchase Jim and Ricky’s original course.
But the very same day I was going to purchase the course – while out walking listening to Jim and Ricky they put out a new YouTube video.
It was advising existing YouTube subscribers that a new course was to be released very soon.
I decided to wait and join the new course. While waiting I kept improving my existing site and conducting research to improve this site as well as get some ideas for a new niche site. I was determined to build a site following Jim and Ricky’s teachings 100% and not deviate.
I signed up as soon as their new course “Project 24” came out in early 2018 and I have not looked back.
I started a brand new niche site and followed every step in the course. At the same time, I implemented all the teachings to my existing site.
To date, I have successfully achieved 3 of the many milestones in place to help all achieve their personal goals.
The success I have achieved to this day is because I am a current member and follow the Income School Project 24 method.
If you are excited and want to go and check the course out now go here to Income School. Jim and Ricky explain this wonderful online business opportunity better than I ever could.

The aim of niche websites is to answer questions around topics that arise within the chosen niche.

I have installed the theme on one of my websites to date and after you to you can see at Page Speed Insights {A Google tool which you can measure your sites page speeds – for free} how fast your website has become.

Can You Really Make Money While Sleeping?
My answer to this question is YES you absolutely can make money while sleeping!
One of the best ways to make money while you sleep is with passive income.
One way to achieve this is to start a blog on a topic that you have experience with or a topic you yourself want to learn about.
You then answer the questions that people on the internet are searching for regarding this topic.
What is passive income?
A passive income is defined as completing work one time and then receiving payment for it over and over again.
A traditional example of this would be:
- Writing a book
- Writing or recording a song
- Producing a course
How Do I Make Passive Income
There are many ways to earn passive income and the choice will vary from person to person.
You have learned above that I have tried and failed at a couple of different business models to make money online.
My favorite by far is blogging.
What Is a Blog?
A blog is a way of earning passive income online.
You choose a topic that you’re passionate about then write articles about the topic.
The aim is to answer the questions that people want answers to.
Your income is known as passive because you complete the work once then continue to be paid for it.
You make your income from affiliate products, advertising, selling advertising space on your website, and writing and selling your own book on your website, producing and selling your own courses.
When selling your own products your site can even turn your blog into a membership site or community.
This type of passive income should not be confused with “Network Marketing” – you are not asking people to buy anything!
You are giving people the information that they are searching for or asking for.
What Are Website Startup Costs?
Blogging, from my experience, is the cheapest and safest start-up.
You can spend from as little as $100 to set up your website and hosting. This includes your purchase of a domain name, to set up your hosting possibly even a logo. Other than these costs you are looking at your time.
Going down this route you would mean you are setting everything up yourself including researching and writing your own articles.
On the flip side, you could spend an undetermined amount of money by outsourcing, or paying others, to complete the website for you.
A rough estimate would be thousands of dollars!
My Tips on Building a Successful Website
Choose a course to follow such as the Income School – Project 24 course.
The website you have landed on was born from the Project 24 course.
After years of trying to “work it out for free,” I decided to choose someone to follow and commit to finishing all the steps in the course.
To date I have:-
- Followed the steps to “The End”
- I continue to add content and keep my site up-to-date
- I ensure that all my articles help my readers get their questions answered all in one place in a concise and informative manner
- I continue to add content to my site regularly
- I am constantly learning
- I keep researching for new topics my readers want to read about
- As I grow I employ writers to write some of my articles and other content
Pro and Cons of Blogging
Pros of Blogging
Extremely low start-up costs
Ongoing passive income which will last indefinitely when the correct topic is chosen.
Choose when you want to work:-
- you can go all in and work at building your blog full time or
- you can start it part-time around other work, school, sport, other activities, motherhood, fatherhood, retirement
Cons of Blogging
I myself do not believe the following are cons – but some may…
The time and effort that is required is a commitment.
But the reason I don’t believe time invested is a con is that once you have produced the content you will then reap the benefits of passive income for a long time to come.
Many budding entrepreneurs make the mistake of believing they can start up a blog over a weekend.
Make their website look pretty.
Put up a couple of articles, do a little research about how to make affiliate commissions and money from advertising.
Then as if by magic millions of dollars will start rolling in overnight.
This could not be further from the truth.
It can take hundreds of hours of research and writing to build a successful blog.
As well as the time for the article to be seen by your readers.
This is one of the reasons that those starting out will be advised to “choose a topic you are passionate about” or at the very least are interested in learning about.
Online Course Reviewers (A Little About Others)
Okay so lets quickly talk about some of the others on the internet “reviewing” Income School and their Project 24 course.
If you carry out a google search for “Income School Project 24 Review” some of the top searches are “REVIEWERS” doing just that reviewing this product from the outside.
After reading a number of these reviews the first thing that jumped out to me is that they do not mention in the very first sentence that they are actually paying members of the course.
If you have not taken the course how can you possibly know what it is like on the inside? At the same time, they are trying to sign you up for their email lists by giving you “freebies”, some are even rating three different courses against income school!
The name Project 24 – means to earn an income within 24 months!
How can you possibly give an honest review until you are applying the teachings of a course to a website that you are building and seeing success from?
Final Thoughts – Income School – Project 24 Review
You can try to put all the pieces together yourself when starting a blog and you will succeed in building something.
Which is what I did for many years before selecting an affiliate marketing course.
Or you can choose to follow a plan which would involve registering for a course or purchasing a course and following the course to the end.
If you want to know how to make passive income and more importantly make that money while you sleep do yourself a favor and before you start any blog {or another online business opportunity} do your research.
To carry out research for Project 24 you do not need to spend a cent to follow this link and complete your own investigations {as outlined above I started with Jim and Ricky’s free material} you can also see the following two resources:-
- Check out the Income School YouTube channel
- Check out the free content that Jim and Ricky readily share
I will finish by saying that you could absolutely work all of this out for yourself for free but it will take you time and maybe you still will not succeed.
The reason you will not succeed is that you will not have someone to guide you:-
- Complete this first
- Next, do this
- Followed by this
- Ask questions if you get stuck
- Motivate you every day
- Constantly update you with their own hands-on experiences in building websites
- Provide you with up to date information on what is working {or not working} on their very own websites
Finally, this work is absolutely not rocket science but it does require consistent effort initially to grow a niche site.
If I can write about topics that interest me and I make money while I am sleeping I will continue to remain a member of Project 24.
I am very excited to see where my internet business takes me…
