Short ebooks are one of the simplest digital products to create—and one of the most reliable for building passive income.

Whether you’re publishing on Amazon, Etsy, your own site, or all of the above, each ebook has the potential to do more than just make a few sales.

The good news? You don’t have to create more books to earn more money.

🔥 There’s a Revolution:​ Interactive Journals Have People Raving

Journaling has been around for centuries from Queen Victoria to ordinary people who want to confidentially tell someone their dreams.

But there’s a revolution happening. A new wave of interactive journals with purpose that have people raving.

These interactive journals with purpose are built entirely with:

✔ A free Google account, templates (from me), and a few clicks.
✔ A specific purpose for the journals you create.

The "interactive" parts come from checkboxes, dropdown menus and embedded photos — features that live right inside the document and work on any device, in any browser.

The “purpose?” Choosing from popular journal types that are geared to a specific task that helps the writer.

These journals are:

✔ Always available – No paid app, no special device required. Open it on a phone, tablet or laptop.
✔ Built for sharing – Couples plan weddings together. Families build memory books. Kids and parents follow school or sports.
✔ Genuinely interactive – Tap a checkbox. Pick from a dropdown. Drop in a photo. It feels alive, not static.
✔ In Demand – Scroll Etsy for five minutes, and you'll see a growing category of Google-built journals. The most popular ones help the user in a specific way.
