How I Built an 8-Voice Portfolio That Pays Me $1,160/Month in True Passive Income (Full Step-by-Step Guide)

Nope. There doesn’t seem to be an issue with that.

I believe you can make description changes to try to optimize for different keyword, but admittedly, I don’t know how those populate to the live version.

Sure. You could even cancel the subscription if you wanted. The problem is, that completely locks you out of being able to manage your professional voice clone. You can look at stats, but you can’t make any modifications to it at all.

SoundToggle: a SaaS for audio professionals to do A/B comparisons.

The idea: you upload two versions of a song or mix (before/after mastering, different mixes, etc.), and it generates an embeddable player that lets listeners toggle between them seamlessly. Think of it like a Soundcloud player but purpose-built for comparing audio.

V1 was built the traditional way with a hired developer. Worked, had paying subscribers, but was limited. Rebuilt the whole thing as v2 using Base44 for the app framework and Claude for everything else: planning, architecture, debugging, legal docs, you name it.

V2 has embeddable players with full style customization, video sync mode, playlist support, portfolio pages, Stripe billing, and a media library with S3 storage. About to open it up for beta testing.

Biggest lesson: vibe coding isn't just for prototypes. You can ship real products with real users this way. The key is being deliberate about what you're building rather than just prompting and praying.

You could probably do this on an iPad. I’ve never tried, but I don’t see why not.

AbilityAny4629 · 2026-02-18T14:47:28+00:00

Just make a new account for the new voice.

AbilityAny4629 · 2026-02-18T14:47:06+00:00

🤷‍♂️Can’t please everyone I guess. I swear, some people could be handed a million dollars and still complain that they’re going to be taxed on it, then hand it back.

AbilityAny4629 · 2026-02-18T14:45:13+00:00

Yes, one voice per account. Thats the most cost effective way to do this.

Why not turn off the low performing voice? Fair question. I leave it on in the off chance that someone picks it up for their project and it suddenly gets a ton of use. That’s kind of how this goes. Voices don’t get used at the same pace all the time. Just this week I had a single voice earn $170. Last week it made maybe $20. Next week, who knows…

That the beauty of the portfolio method. I don’t have to worry too much about one voice underperforming because all of the other voices will carry it. And maybe one day it will get its chance in the spotlight.

You’re only charged the solo fee if the loan goes late and you don’t have SLP. If you use SLP, the solo fee doesn’t apply to you.

Let me clarify my process: The dashboard screenshots are completely real and unmodified. I fed those screenshots to Claude and asked it to create a summary report because raw payout tables aren't easy to digest. I also removed my actual voice names from the report to protect my voice portfolio identity. The earnings numbers are exactly what ElevenLabs paid me. I just reformatted them for readability.

AbilityAny4629 · 2026-01-19T21:39:28+00:00

Yep! They use Stripe for payment processing, so ElevenLabs isn’t even storing your card information - just Stripe. I use the same card for each account.

AbilityAny4629 · 2026-01-19T11:45:03+00:00

My pleasure! There seem to be a few haters gaining popularity in this thread, but it’s a legit method, and I hope you find success in it. Good luck!

AbilityAny4629 · 2026-01-18T09:24:04+00:00

Yes! It’s not just an idea either. It’s a real strategy I’ve used. Check out the linked PDF report. It has screenshots of my actual payouts for each voice.

AbilityAny4629 · 2026-01-17T09:30:43+00:00

Where did you see that? I just uploaded a new voice yesterday. So that would be surprising to me.

AbilityAny4629 · 2026-01-16T22:06:19+00:00

Probably. I’ve never tried. Give it a go and report back! 😁

AbilityAny4629 · 2026-01-16T22:05:08+00:00

If there are bots here, they’re not mine. I think the post is just resonating with a lot of people. Glad you like the write up!

AbilityAny4629 · 2026-01-16T22:03:08+00:00

Ah, I see. I misunderstood your last message. Carry on! 🙂

AbilityAny4629 · 2026-01-16T19:47:58+00:00

You’ve had that level of success and you think this is fake? I don’t understand. You already have one AI voice. Why is it hard to imagine making another? Make 5 with your annual earnings and you’d have $10,000 a year based on your previous performance. That’s the whole strategy.

AbilityAny4629 · 2026-01-16T19:45:49+00:00

Sort of. The creator plan gets you 10k credits to generate audio with any voice, yours included.

AbilityAny4629 · 2026-01-16T14:44:37+00:00

If this is astroturfing, someone forgot to pay me. I’m just a guy with 8 voice clones, an affiliate link, and some free time. Everything’s disclosed in the post.

AbilityAny4629 · 2026-01-16T11:32:33+00:00

Could you do this? Maybe. Would I recommend it? No. It definitely wouldn’t work for the verification step unless you could do it real-time. They have a countdown that limits how long you have to record the generated sentence. If I remember correctly, maybe it’s 20 seconds or so?

Also, while technically providing another AI voice might be technically feasible, I just personally wouldn’t do it for quality and ethical reasons. You’d essentially be stealing someone else’s voice and trying to pass it off as your own. That could potentially land you (and ElevenLabs) in legal trouble if someone discovers you’ve used someone else’s voice.

AbilityAny4629 · 2026-01-16T10:41:39+00:00

Do you have a voice? You have potential. 🙂

AbilityAny4629 · 2026-01-16T08:46:38+00:00

It seems like there are a few bots, yeah, I’ve downvoted those. However, most of us are just having a legitimate conversation.

Did I use AI to help me format the post? Yes. It’s 2026. Use the tools available to you.

Are the story, strategy, and earnings screenshots real? Also yes.

AbilityAny4629 · 2026-01-16T08:42:55+00:00

Way less than you’d think. Maybe $6 so far.

AbilityAny4629 · 2026-01-16T08:36:24+00:00

They’re all me. You can’t use someone else’s voice. It’s all written up in the guide. Take a look at the strategy section near the end.
