Hello world! Welcome to Guava Geek.

I’m Lilieni (Lillian, Lils) a designer and frontend web developer who is currently figuring out the full stack thing, too, because… why not?

I am also very entrepreneurial (it’s that thing about necessity being a mother…) currently chasing the ‘passive income’ unicorn, really keen to see how my experience in design and tech can contribute to the endeavour… I mean, according to all the Make Money Online YouTubers, I should have an advantage in this field, right?

Let’s see.

In this blog, I’ll be documenting my various efforts to build ‘passive’ income online, sharing all my useful learnings (I’m sure I’ll have a lot!) and hopefully celebrating a few wins along the way.

While I’m at it, I’ll also post as many tips and tutorials as I can to help my fellow entrepreneurs – especially my more ‘brick & mortar’ type friends – to use technology and the World Wide Web to expand your audience and, you know… make more money.

We’ll start with the things I’m already kinda good at (don’t worry, I’ll bring my receipts) like branding, content creation, effective web design and, my favourite, Search Engine Optimisation (SEO).

Then, as I get better at this other stuff, we’ll throw in advertising, social media strategies, email marketing, 3rd party sales platforms (like Etsy or Shopify) plus newer contributions to the online business space, like generative AI, etc.

Wow. I’m going to be a busy blogger. You ready for this?

(Am I?)

Let’s do it.
