Hi Addict, thanks for the link.
I'm more than prepared to go through all the tutorials like everyone else. I was just wanting some sound advice on what is the best way to start. I spend between 4-8 hours a day on the internet learning, studying and trying to better myself. I certainly wasn't wanting some one to hold my hand through the whole thing. Sorry if it came accross like that.

How do you intend to use web design to earn passive income? Web designer only earns if they have projects, if they stop working, the income stop.
hm.. I would suggest you sit down to think through, what is your core desire, and from there, it will be much easier to decide your goals and course of actions.
To discover YOUR Core Desires you must pay very close attention to the TRUE feelings you experience as you ask yourself two basic questions.
The first question gets you started (but the first answer people give is rarely accurate):
'What would I like to have that I don't currently have?'
The second question is the drill:
'If I had that what would that give me that I don't have?'
Keep asking yourself that after each answer until you hit pay dirt.
You will know you have drilled down to a Core Desire because it is always accompanied by an intense, sometimes poignant, though not always visible, emotional reaction.
Good Luck! 
Cheers!

Thanks for the sound advice Albert.
To be honest it probably isn't my core desire to design web sites, but I think I would be thrilled with myself if I learned this skill. It is certainly something that I am intrigued by, and I would be extremely proud of myself for achieving this goal of mine.
As for making money this way, I would want to design a web site even if there was no money to be made.
But if I can earn a couple of quid along the way then why not.
I liked what you wrote about core desires, and I am going to try and use this when planning my goals from now on.
Many thanks again
Jon
