Asav Patel and Dot Com Life Style
I am doing Blogging Since March 2008 as a part time Internet Business. Many of you may have heard about the Dot Com Life style. Well, most of the people believe that Dot Com Life style means Luxurious cars, World tours, Dating, Casinos and Parties in world’s best restaurants and Disco Clubs.
But well, Dot Com Life style is not only about doing the all of the above things. Here is my Dot Com Life style. A Dot Com Life style is all about buying a Time. All the top most professionals and employees are rich but they don’t have time to enjoy their money. This is because the more richer they get, the more work they will have to do and the less time they will have to spend with their families and friends. But well, owning the Internet Business (Such as this Blog) is different. You can chose to work whenever you want to work and from wherever in this world (Even on the Beach).
The following is my Dot Com Life Style because I can do whatever I want to do and there is no burden of 9 to 5 job. Even if I stop working some day, my Blog will still continue making money for me. Because it’s the passive income.
Another question that many people ask me that Is Making Money Online Easy? Well, it’s not easy. You will have to do the hard work. It will become easy for you only if you do the things which you are passionate about.
So know more about me. Watch my Dot Com Life style. This is the Life of the Internet Entrepreneur. So before becoming the Internet Entrepreneur ask yourself that weather you are willing to be committed this much?
I am on my Bed in the Hostel room of D.Y.Patil Hospital, Kolhapur with my Compaq Presario CQ 60 Laptop. It’s the evening time (5pm to 7pm) and I do blogging from my Bed in the evening.
The Table with my Laptop and my personal book (Right side). It’s the morning time (Around 5:00 AM in the Morning…!!!) I love to do blogging in the morning. I do blogging in the morning from 5-7:30 AM).
Side view of my table and the Laptop. See my personal note book in which I write down the future posts titles, recent thoughts and everything else which is important for the Blogging and my readers.
A Close view of my Personal Book. Many people ask me that what is the secret of your exponential web traffic growth? Since the launch of this Blog (Since March 2008), the web traffic of this blog has grown exponentially. Well, this book is the reason. The Secret of my Successful Blogging is Google Analytics. I use Google Analytics to find out what the visitors on my blog are searching for and I write down those things in this personal book and later on write the article on them.
A Close view of my Personal Book. You can see that I tick mark the articles that I write and post on this blog. This book prevents Blogger’s Block. Because even if I feel Writer’s Block, this book helps me to get out of it.
It’s Me (Asav Patel) with my Google AdSense Cheque worth of US $ 100. I love this movement. It inspires me to write more when the readers comment on my post as well as whenever I get the AdSense cheque. Thank You Google for approving me for the AdSense network.
That’s my Hostel Bed. Yup…I know that it’s mess. But I am so much passionate about Blogging that I don’t even care to clean and arrange my bed.
My Hostel room at D.Y.Patil Hospital, Kolhapur where I am studying my MS-Ophthalmology. On the left side there is my bed. On the right side, my laptop with notebook and in the centre my room mate cum school friend Shashwat Jani doing his MD-Gynecology at the same institute. It’s 6 o’clock in the morning and Shashwat came back from his night duty so he is sleeping. It’s routine. My day starts from here… I love to do blogging in the early morning.
My Laptop on the table and the Microwave oven worth Rs.3300 on thee right side which me, Shashwat (my Room mate) and my Junior friend Vibhor Gupta has bought in the partnership from Big Bazaar Super Mall. My Rs.1100 (US $ 22) is from the AdSense Income of this Blog. Thank you Google AdSense…!!!
That’s my book shelf. It is full of personal finance, entrepreneurship & Investing books. All of them are my favourite books and most of the thoughts of this blog comes from these great books. I would like to thank the authors of all these books.
I love to invest in books. So every time, I receive my Google AdSense cheque, I buy Personal Finance & Investment books from that money. These books are my best re-investment of the profit of this blog. Afterall, somebody said that, The Best Investment is the Investment in the Knowledge.
That’s my shoes which I have used for last more than 2 years. You can say it the best example of Frugality. Many of my friends asked me that why don’t I change my shoes? Well, because I was well comfortable with these shoes and the second reason is that, I am so much passionate about developing this Blog that I did not want to waste my time behind shopping around for shoes to find a best bargain deal rather than that I would prefer to write few more information rich articles for my readers.
Another reason is that, my ultimate goal is the “Financial Freedom” So looking cool and Rich is not my Goal. For me, Financial Freedom is more important than looking rich.
After all, who cares what other people are saying about you if the money is rolling in your Bank Accounts like anything….!!!!! (Thank You Google Once Again).
Close view of my most criticized Shoes.
Side view of my Right sided Torn Shoes.
That’s my New Reebok Shoes which I bought from my Google AdSense earnings of this Blog. I bought these shoes for Rs.2250 (US $ 45). Thank You Google AdSense for developing such a nice application.
A Close view of my Reebok Shoes.
That’s my Cupboard. Me and Shashwat share the cupboard. You can see the clothes are not arranged well. This is because I don’t give a single minute to arrange my cupboard. It is because I want to spend my every single minute to write down the information rich articles for my readers. I don’t want to spend my time behind non-productive things.
A Close view of my Cupboard.
My room mate Shashwat Jani is sleeping in the bed after coming from 48 hours of Emergency Duty in the Gynaec Ward. It’s 5:30 in the morning. I usually wake up at this time do the Blogging.
Well, That’s my third room mate Tapan Shah doing his MS-General Surgery at the same institute. Previously me, Shashwat and Tapan were 3 room mates. But now, Tapan got married so he lives outside the hostel with his wife.
Tapan is sleeping in his bed after coming from the Emergency Duty.
Me with my Junior friend Shanchit Talwar who is doing Dermatology in my institute.
That’s me with my Junior Friend Vibhor Kumar Gupta. We are on the Kankeshwar Beach, 150 Km away from Kolhapur, Maharashtra where I am doing my Post Graduate study. It was such a nice experience to do a Blogging by sitting in front of the beach.
Again that’s me with my Laptop doing a Blogging on the Kankeshwar Beach, Maharashtra. Goa is just 120 Km away from this place. It’s really a pleasant atmosphere. Doing a Blogging on the Best Beaches of this world is my Dream…!!!
Those are my junior friends on Kankeshwar Beach.
So this is all about my Dot Com Life Style. And I Love it. Teaching people about Money, Entrepreneurship, Investing and Personal Finance is my PASSION. Kindly let me know by commenting on this post that What You feel about my Dot Com Lifestyle?

hiii asav
i did'nt have words to explain about ur hard work
can u please tell me about google adsense & about blogging
thanks in advance
my email id is tripathiavinash72@gmail.com
Hi
Asav,
i went through your blog for the first time and it lasted for 2 hours.
i wanted to learn about basic knowledge in finance, so i started to search many web sites, before this.
but, those sessions could not last for more than a 3 minutes.
your blog is excellant and informative and most useful for beginners to learn the fundamentals in investments.
stocks or equities (capital gain),bonds (interest), cashflow+capital gains and so on...
everything you mentioned is awesome.
you blog is easy to understande for a common man.
The last but not least , i can advise you is i have noticed one thing that you repeat the same content many times. try to avoid it.
i am not criticizing you here , just go through your blogs and you will find it.
The rest is fine.
if u overcome the repetetion process then you will be the No. 1 blogger.
all the best

@ Engineer of World's Largest Oil & Gas Company -
Thank u very very much sir for appreciating my blogging efforts.
Yes, I can understand ur concern. Basically i tried Affiliate marketing on this blog and that's why u see all those duplicate content. But later on I have changed the Business model.
now onwards, you won't see this.
Thanks a lot....
Dude, you are a Medic ?? When I looked at your blog I was thinking you would be a software engineer..
This is a great blog you have! Salutes!!
- A lazy software engineer stuck in Rat Race :(
Dude,
I don't understand how much more 'fake' ur blog can get.
None of ur blogs are original in any way. You've copy-pasted everything.. n read it again..everything from Robert Kiyosaki, who, by the way, is himself a big quack. Google a bit on him on the net to get his inner story.
Secondly, the amount of spelling mistakes in your original work is appalling. You may love blogging, but do work on your spellings, at least once in a while, or ask someone to cross read it before putting it up.
And who ever wants to see your shoes?? O my god.. get a life dude.
and wats with the overuse of the word 'passion'. let it be seen in your work.. dont state it repeatedly in every blog..
If u put this up, u really have the balls to be some1 in ur life..
VV
asav hi i ananya here, i really don,t no what kind of passion u have just earning of rupee us$100 is enough.after doing so much hard work .why don,t u work for some domestic call centre u will earn part time money will be more than what u earn from international blogging don,t feel bad think for india growth no need to wake up at 5:00 a.m {itna hard work tab jakar 5-6000/-indian currancy atlest i am not satisfied asav tum apne liye kab jiyoge.} buy take care.friend ka e-mail id de rahi ho sorry .
hello ananya,

hi Asav,
Hats off to your dedication!
I am stunned to read your blog. Why did u choose Finance advisory for blogging , u could have chosen Ophthalmology also.
I also blog, but not as much as you do,infact am very irrgular at that . Must say, your passion for forblogging has inspired me to write more and be regular at that.
Thank You.
Happy blogging
Its true buddy. I prefer Dot com work style!
Nice writeup! It's great that you have the awareness of financial freedom and knowledge of how to earn money.
I respect your concept and money earning style! But, as everyone says, money is not everything :) and internet is not the end of World!
As a student, It's the best looked hostel room! But don't forget to look decent, of not rich :P
Nice Shoes
Hey Asav,
You dedication for blogging is really very inspiring. I also write on personal finance. I wish I also become like you some day.
Best Regards
Gopal Gidwani
g8 job; good going. Best of luck
Dear Asav,
U r good and doing free knowledge sharing to people. What is ur moto?
How it helps u to become a billionaire? Tell us so we will also share publicly whatever knowledge asset we have. I read ur book it is nice and very practical and in simple language with examples.
I also want to get financial freedom but not on the cost of my time for Samaj Seva. Sorry I am somehow selfish, just like as you are a helping person by nature.
My heart understands that you r doing it for Samaj seva but my mind does not.
Tell us the truth Asav.
Hi,
Congrats on taking this ambitious journey. I am a software engineer but learning personal finance keeps me awake.
Lets reach our goals soon..
@ Sriram -->
Thank u very much for your best wishes....!!!
@ Shiv -->
Hello Shiv,
First of all thank you very much for appreciating my book and reading it thoroughly.
Well, Shiv you are right. Basically anyone can earn lots of money from their knowledge by putting that knowledge in a blog or a website. You MUST have heard the Google AdSense. And you MUST see the advertisements around this article and everywhere on this Blog. These are the advertises that are supplied by Google and I am making money from those adds.
If you want to learn more about such kind of money making than you can ask any query related to it on my new forum - Investta.com.
I will be more than happy to answer all of your queries.
And as far as the concern is about Samaj Seva, Well, That is my basic instinct. I am not saying that everyone should do this. But I have started making enough money from this Blog that, I did not want to make more money by publishing my book in the printed version but rather I thought that I should spread the REAL Financial Awareness to as many people as possible for the better future.
And that's why I am giving this eBook for FREE to people around the world.
By the way, it is not necessary to do same thing like me. If you have knowledge of something than you can publish an eBook and sell it online and make lots of money from it. There is nothing wrong in that.
In fact, many people around the world are doing the same thing and making lots of money by selling their eBooks online from their websites or blogs.
But well, the purpose of my eBook is to spread the real Financial Education to people around the world and that's why it is FREE and without any annoying registrations.
By the way, if you like my eBook than I request you to be the part of the History of REAL Financial Awareness by spreading this eBook to as many of your friends and family members as possible.
Believe me, This will help us to shape the better future...
thx..
if you have any doubts, than please let me know...
hey bro
i am ur true fan .
am 19 doin b-tech nd even i want to get fredom from financial worses
recently i opt a website named ownrock.com

u are a loser obsessed with money
Hi Asav,
Still i am in Active Income group, I like your blog. Thank for your valuable information about passive income. I will share this information to my friends and students. My dream is Developing a Systematically running Business. I am on the way to my dream. I expect your support in my future Journey...
Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
Dear Asav,Do not spent every minute in your life on work. Do not forget to breath deeply in the morning. Wakeup in the morning and just sit idle for one hour. Just think about the meaning and purpose of life. life is a free gift from God. We are here without our knowledge and we have to leave one day. You have to keep a work-life balance. Happy to learn that you bought a new pair of shoes. Please change that in the future too. Life is not money alone.
Where can i get d ebook?
nice blog btw...
Hello,
this is Ashok Joshi, soft. eng. working in a pvt. company at mumbai.
Today I visited your site first time.
I have one question, your passion is to teach... then why are you wasting your time at medical college and occupied one seat ( may be someone missed this seat.)

abbas from Oman.
Great job , keep it up.You web site is really helpful for new genearion.
Many congrats to you Asav.Rather than having a degree and getting in to a profession, its the passion that keeps the person driving and growing in whatever we do.And, you are an example.I wish you all the best in you life for all your sincere efforts.
Hi Nice & lots of posts, really you have lots of patience. good inspiration.

Great going brother. Its really amazing that you get time to impart financial education though your blog in your busy schedule, its a great service to the people of India. Also, offering your ebook for free when you could have sold it, speaks volumes of your passion! Please keep up the good work and don't pay attention to all those stupid people who don't know and understand anything about being financially independent. They will stay at the bottom all their life while you reach the heights of success :) Take care
good job buddy
Guess you should focus more on completing your medical studies rather than just blogging...
Imagine wasting that medical seat else somebody more deserving would have got it!!
Imagine how smelly and dirty are you??!! You must be not wanting to 'waste' your time in taking a bath and doing other basic human stuff as well!!
Earning $45-$100 on your way to a billionaire's club walking with those dirty shoes!!
Get some life dude!!
very good blog.Info that you are delivering in this blog is really different and is trand setter.Keep the good work going
