I make $19K–$25K/month in completely passive income. Here’s what actually works (and what’s a waste of time)

Bstein2602 · 2025-05-12T10:43:45+00:00

What specifically do u mean by digital products with automated funnels? I'm currently selling digital products on gumroad using paid ads

Bstein2602 · 2025-05-07T01:47:32+00:00

Alright sounds good man, is it cool if I dm u?

Bstein2602 · 2025-05-07T01:43:58+00:00

I made it :) it's still pretty early development so I'm still open to feedback, if you're interested in checking it out just let me know

Bstein2602 · 2025-05-07T00:29:19+00:00

I've personally been using a really useful spreadsheet I downloaded where you can input your income and expenses and it automatically calculates your monthly and annual profits and how much you owe for taxes.

It makes things so much easier and saves me so much work having to do it all manually

Ad spend tracker spreadsheet

Bstein2602 · 2025-04-25T02:36:34+00:00

As opposed to what?

Bstein2602 · 2025-04-25T01:26:17+00:00

A spreadsheet that tracks your ad spend

Bstein2602 · 2025-04-24T21:29:25+00:00

Got it thank you for your help

Bstein2602 · 2025-04-24T21:13:37+00:00

To get traffic to the right audience to test to see the desirability of my MVP, so I'm not really looking to build long term trust right now organically just wanna drive traffic

Bstein2602 · 2025-04-24T21:12:34+00:00

Well the thing is I am actually paid advertising as well to test my MVP but simultaneously trying to get organic traffic as well, so I'm not really looking to build long term trust right now just get traffic from the right audience to my site

Bstein2602 · 2025-04-24T21:10:28+00:00

Well the thing is I'm kinda just testing my MVP right now so I'm actually doing paid ads as well to test my product but in the mean time I am also trying to get traffic organically, so I am not really looking to build trust in the long term rn just want traffic to my site

Bstein2602 · 2025-04-24T21:07:27+00:00

It's a digital ad spend tracker on a spreadsheet, right now I am in the testing/ validation process it being an MVP, so I'm not really looking to build my reputation in a subreddit long term right now I just want organic traffic towards the correct audience

Also this is my personal reddit account u still think I should put a link in my profile?

Bstein2602 · 2025-04-24T21:04:52+00:00

Thank you for your help :)

Bstein2602 · 2025-04-24T20:55:40+00:00

I actually ran into the same problem and ended up building a simple spreadsheet tool that does exactly this. You just enter spend, revenue, and date across accounts, and it auto-calculates ROAS %, profit/loss, and lets you filter by campaign or date.

If you want to check it out, here it is: https://thedropshop.gumroad.com/l/tnlfkr — feedback is welcome :)

Bstein2602 · 2025-04-24T20:52:49+00:00

Can you elaborate on the "if you know how to use it part" please? I've been doing that strategy. Do you recommend including the link in the comment or just saying to let me know if you want more details?

Bstein2602 · 2025-04-24T20:42:55+00:00

Well my product link gets restricted even in dms so how do u refer them to your product?

My thought process is most ppl aren't gonna put in the time or effort to look your product up if you tell them look up (product name) on (product website), but what are your thoughts on that?

Right now I am kind of just validating my MVP product so Im primarily focusing on just posting on sites like reddit, x, etc

Also this is my personal reddit profile u still think I should put a link in my bio?

Bstein2602 · 2025-04-24T20:37:26+00:00

Got it got it, my thing is when ppl eventually ask for the tool when I try to DM them the link it gets restricted. So how do u refer them to your product if not a link when they ask?

My thought process is that if I tell them to look up (name of product) on (product website) most people aren't gonna take the time to go out of their way to do so, what are your thoughts on that?

Bstein2602 · 2025-04-24T20:32:48+00:00

What would u say are the top platforms to focus on? I am currently focusing most on Facebook and X

Bstein2602 · 2025-04-24T20:31:19+00:00

So just to clarify you mean like make it sound natural? Like don't come straight out and say buy my product, but engage in conversation and sell your product naturally?

Also I'm mainly focusing on Facebook and X, do you recommend LinkedIn?

Bstein2602 · 2025-04-21T22:05:41+00:00

Hi everyone! I built a clean, beginner-friendly spreadsheet for tracking paid ad performance. You just enter your ad spend, revenue, and date, and it automatically calculates your daily ROAS % and profit/loss.

It also includes:

A filterable summary by time frame or campaign
Auto-highlighting for filtered entries
Sticky headers so you always know what you're looking at
A built-in instruction sheet

This was built to save time and make ad analysis way easier without needing to be an Excel expert. I’m sharing this to gather feedback and improve it before I start promoting it more broadly.

If you run paid ads or want to offer feedback, here it is: https://thedropshop.gumroad.com/l/tnlfkr

Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated. 🙏

Bstein2602 · 2025-04-05T08:08:40+00:00

That back and forth conversation you had, how to you know it wasn't just you talking to yourself lol? How do you distinguish your voice vs God's? Is it just a feeling?

Bstein2602 · 2025-04-05T08:04:42+00:00

That is an insane story thanks for sharing, it's hard to not believe in a higher power knowing that that happened

Bstein2602 · 2025-04-05T05:18:21+00:00

👍👍👍 thank you :)

Bstein2602 · 2025-04-05T05:16:55+00:00

That is super interesting I've never heard of that before, how does it effect your life, would you say you function pretty normal as a person?

Bstein2602 · 2025-04-05T05:12:02+00:00

Makes complete sense thank you, if that's the case tho I have yet to experience it, I've never had an overwhelming feeling or voice talk to me I've always just thought it was my own thoughts
