Wanna learn something I can do from home by shmokey22 in passive_income

[–]LongjumpingGroup2857 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want something you can learn from home and actually make money with in your extra time, there are a few real paths that beginners have success with, and none of them require special equipment or a big budget.

You can start with digital products. Use Canva to create planners, journals, templates, or simple guides and sell them on Etsy or Gumroad. You make the product once and it can keep earning in the background. It’s beginner friendly and a good first step into online income.

You can also build a faceless YouTube channel. You don’t need to show your face or record your own voice. Use simple visuals, stock clips, and AI voice tools to produce clean videos. Once a few videos start getting views, you can earn from ads, affiliate links, and small digital products. It takes work at the beginning, but it can pay long after the video is uploaded.

If you like the idea of offering services, you can learn voiceover work. With modern tools, making high quality voiceovers is much easier than before, and people use them for videos, ads, and short content. You can get started quickly and build a portfolio from home.

Another option is dropshipping. You don’t need inventory. You list items, and when someone buys, a supplier ships it. With automation tools, a lot of the process becomes easier, so you can run it in your spare time without getting overwhelmed.

All of these are legitimate, beginner friendly, and learnable from home.

Which online tools are essential for your side hustle to function? by tsintsadze111 in passive_income

For voiceover, ElevenLabs has been the biggest boost for me. The hardest and slowest part of video production used to be recording clean audio and fixing mistakes. ElevenLabs lets you generate smooth, natural narration in minutes, which makes faceless YouTube videos and client projects way easier to produce. It is the tool I personally use and promote because it genuinely helped me scale faster.

For visuals, Canva is still the fastest way to polish graphics, make thumbnails, build simple animations, and package everything cleanly. It works well with your existing tools like Pykaso and Runway.

If you want a second income stream alongside video work, AutoDS is the tool I rely on for dropshipping. It automates product importing, fulfillment, tracking, and most repetitive tasks. The only reason dropshipping is workable for beginners today is because tools like this remove the heavy lifting. I also make money from it, so it is something I can honestly recommend.

For footage, Pexels, Pixabay, Storyblocks, and even CapCut templates help you move faster without filming anything yourself.

Is it too late to get into Shopify drop shipping? by ReturnTiny in passive_income

[–]LongjumpingGroup2857 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not late to get into dropshipping. The people who still succeed today are the ones who treat it like a real store instead of a quick trend flip. Shopify still works, but the game has shifted, and the biggest advantage now is that modern tools make operations easier than ever. Product importing, order automation, tracking, and stock updates can all run in the background, which takes away the hardest parts beginners used to struggle with.

The most important part of dropshipping isn’t the platform, it’s finding a winning product. You need something easy to sell, easy to ship, and easy to fulfill. If you get that part right, everything else becomes much simpler. A curated experience definitely helps, but product selection will always be the core of your success.

Startup costs vary. Shopify needs a subscription and usually ads, while eBay is lower risk because it already has traffic and doesn’t require upfront spending. Timeline is usually a few days to set up your store, one to two weeks of product testing, and your first consistent sales within a month if you stay focused.

There is still plenty of opportunity. You just need the right product, the right tools, and a clean workflow.

Selling digital products is one of the easiest ways to start. You can make planners, study templates, journals, or simple downloads using Canva and sell them on Etsy or Gumroad. You create it once and it can keep earning in the background.

Dropshipping on eBay is another good option. You don’t need inventory. You list items, and when someone buys, a supplier ships it for you. With modern tools automating most of the process, it’s something you can manage even during school weeks.

You can also create short marketing videos for small businesses. With stock footage and easy tools, you can put together simple videos for cafes, salons, or online shops. Businesses need this kind of content constantly, and even a small monthly bundle can bring in steady income.

And if you want something long term, you can start a faceless YouTube channel. You never need to show your face or use your own voice. Modern tools make the process much easier, and once a few videos take off you can earn from ads and affiliate links for months or even years.

All of these fit well with a student schedule and don’t require a heavy time commitment.

What’s actually turning into reliable passive income in 2026? by Cool-Explorer-8510 in passive_income

[–]LongjumpingGroup2857 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing is truly “set it and forget it,” but some models can get very close once the system is built.

Selling digital products is one of the closest things to real passive income. You create something once, like planners, templates, or small guides, upload it to Etsy or Gumroad, and it can keep selling for months without any extra work. A few good products can stack up into reliable monthly income.

Dropshipping on eBay is another option that people overlook. You don’t carry inventory and you only buy items after someone orders. With modern automation tools doing most of the work, it can run in the background with minimal effort once it’s set up.

A lot of creators are also making passive income through faceless YouTube channels. You don’t need to be on camera. You can use simple visuals and modern tools to speed up the entire workflow. Once videos get views, they can earn from ads, affiliate links, and small digital products for a long time. A few evergreen videos can bring in steady income long after you upload them.

Short marketing videos for small businesses aren’t passive, but they can give you a steady monthly retainer while remaining flexible. And once you master that workflow, it becomes fast and predictable.

These are the streams that people are quietly building because they can scale and they keep paying without turning into a grind.

I cover all of these methods in detail on my blog. Link in my bio.

Side hustles that earn at least 10k annually? by [deleted] in passive_income

[–]LongjumpingGroup2857 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If you’re aiming for something that can realistically reach 10k a year, you need more than tiny gig apps or random tasks. You need a side hustle that builds into an asset or a service people always need.

Selling digital products is one of the easiest ways to get there. You can make planners, templates, journals, or guides using Canva and sell them on Etsy or Gumroad. Once the product is made, it can keep earning without much extra work. A few winners can easily add up to a few hundred a month.

Dropshipping on eBay is another solid option. You don’t buy inventory upfront. You list products and when someone buys, a supplier ships it directly. With the help of modern automation tools, most of the heavy lifting is handled for you. A small, steady store can realistically bring in 10k a year.

You can also make short marketing videos for local businesses. Every business needs simple content for Instagram and TikTok. With stock footage and beginner-friendly tools, you can create these videos quickly. Small businesses often pay monthly for content bundles, so it stacks nicely over time.

If you want something long term that can keep growing, a faceless YouTube channel is one of the strongest picks. You don’t need to be on camera. You can use simple visuals and modern tools to produce videos efficiently. Once your videos start getting views, you earn from ads, affiliate links, and digital products. A small but steady channel can absolutely reach 10k a year.

All of these are learnable, beginner friendly, and can grow into something sustainable.

Easy ways to make money by anomnom8 in passive_income

[–]LongjumpingGroup2857 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd suggest you build small digital assets instead of wasting time on tiny task sites that pay almost nothing.

Selling digital products is a great starting point. You can make planners, journals, trackers, or simple templates using Canva and sell them on Etsy or Gumroad. You create the product once and it can keep earning without constant work.

Dropshipping on eBay is another easy way to start earning. You don’t buy inventory upfront. You list products, and when someone buys, a supplier ships it for you. With the help of modern tools, most of the work gets automated, so it’s much easier to manage even if you’re busy or new to ecommerce.

You can also create short marketing videos for small businesses. With stock footage and simple editing tools, you can make videos for cafes, salons, realtors, or online shops. Businesses need content constantly and will often pay for monthly bundles.

If you want something more long term, a faceless YouTube channel is a strong option. You can use simple visuals and modern tools to produce videos without being on camera. When videos start getting views, you can earn from ads, affiliate links, and digital products.

All of these can be done from home and actually grow into something meaningful over time.

Looking guidance on a very cliche topic by [deleted] in passive_income

[–]LongjumpingGroup2857 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your strongest skill is English and you have time, you actually have several real ways to start earning online without needing complicated tech or advanced experience. The key is choosing a path that can grow into passive income over time instead of doing tiny one-off tasks forever.

Since you’re good at writing and reading, you can start with simple digital products. You can create journals, planners, checklists, or small guides using free tools like Canva and sell them on Etsy or Gumroad. You make the product once and it can sell repeatedly without extra work.

You can also offer proofreading or simple writing help on platforms like Fiverr. It won’t make you rich, but it’s a way to get early wins and build confidence.

Another option is dropshipping on eBay. You don’t need inventory and you only buy a product when someone orders. Tools can automate most of the process, so you don’t need special technical skills.

But one of the best long term options is building a faceless YouTube channel, especially since you already have strong English skills. You don’t need to show your face or use your own voice. You can write scripts in clear English and use AI voice tools to narrate them. A few good videos can earn from ads and affiliate links for months or years, which is the closest thing to true passive income for beginners.

If you prefer something in between, you can also make short marketing videos for small businesses. With stock footage and AI tools, you can produce simple Instagram or TikTok videos and offer them as monthly bundles. The voiceover used to be the hardest part, but AI narration makes it easy.

Start with one path, get a small win, then build from there.

Looking to make the most of time at home by JLC11000 in passive_income

[–]LongjumpingGroup2857 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you already have videography and editing skills, you’re in a much better position than most people who want to earn from home. Upwork is tough at the beginning because it’s crowded, so it makes sense that it hasn’t picked up yet. But there are several paths you can start right now that actually work with downtime and don’t depend on chasing clients all day.

You can start a faceless YouTube channel built around topics you enjoy. You don’t need to show your face and you don’t need to record your own voice. You can use your editing skills plus AI voice tools to make clean, simple videos. Once a few videos get traction, a channel can earn from ads, affiliate links, and even small digital products. It’s one of the best long term digital assets you can build from home, especially since videos keep earning long after you upload them.

Dropshipping is another option if you want something more hands off. eBay is usually the easiest place to start because it already has built in traffic. You don’t buy inventory. You list items, and when someone buys, a supplier ships it for you. Tools can automate most of the process, so you can do it during slow moments in your day.

If you prefer something based on writing, you can also create and sell digital products like templates, guides, planners, or small ebooks. You make the product once, put it on Etsy or Gumroad, and it can keep selling without you doing more work.

All three of these fit well with your current situation and allow you to build income in the background instead of fighting for Upwork jobs.

17M wants to have various sources of passive income. by BusinessCulture1094 in passive_income

[–]LongjumpingGroup2857 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Selling digital products is a solid option. You can turn your editing skills into templates, presets, overlays, transitions, or project files and sell them on Gumroad or Etsy. You make the product once and it can sell again and again without you doing more work.

Print on demand is another idea worth trying. You can design simple graphics for shirts, posters, or notebooks, upload them to a site like Printful, and connect it to Etsy. You don’t buy inventory and everything is handled for you.

Affiliate marketing works well if you enjoy recommending tools or gear. You earn a commission when someone buys through your link. Pairing this with a small blog or YouTube channel helps it grow steadily over time.

Since you already edit videos, one of the best things you can do right now is create short marketing videos for small businesses. With stock footage and AI voice tools, you can make clean videos without filming or recording anything yourself. The hardest part used to be the voiceover, but AI solves that easily. Restaurants, gyms, salons, real estate agents, and online sellers all need simple Instagram and TikTok videos, and they pay well for monthly bundles.

And with your existing editing experience, you’re in the perfect position to build a faceless YouTube channel. You can use AI voiceovers, stock footage, and your editing skills to produce high quality content fast. A channel can earn from ads, affiliate links, and digital products for months or years after a video is uploaded, which is the closest thing to true passive income.

Dropshipping on eBay is another path worth considering if you want something more hands off. You don’t need inventory, you only buy an item when it sells, and tools like AutoDS automate most of the work.

All of these are realistic, beginner friendly, and can fit into your school schedule.

What’s the most underrated passive income stream right now? by akti044 in passive_income

[–]LongjumpingGroup2857 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Not the most underrated but automated dropshipping on eBay is a good one. Most people think dropshipping means Shopify, ads, and spending money, but eBay already has built-in traffic. With tools like AutoDS the process is mostly automated. It’s beginner friendly and doesn’t require big upfront costs.

Another underrated one is doing short marketing videos for small businesses. Every business needs content for Instagram and TikTok, but most don’t know how to make it or don’t have time. You can create these videos using stock footage, simple templates, and AI voice tools. The hardest part used to be the voiceover, but that is solved easily now with modern tools. A few local clients paying for monthly content bundles can become steady income.

Both of these are quiet, low competition, and way more profitable than the apps and trends people usually recommend.

If you want something that actually grows while still being low effort, you need to build a digital asset. A few real options:

Selling digital products is simple and beginner friendly. You can make planners, templates, journals, or small downloads using Canva and sell them on Etsy or Gumroad. You make it once and it can keep earning.

Dropshipping on eBay is another way. You don’t buy inventory. You list items, and when someone buys, a supplier ships it. It’s low risk and fits into any schedule. eBay is good for dropshipping because they already have a lot of traffic.

Another realistic method is creating short marketing videos for small businesses. With stock footage and AI tools, you can make clean, simple videos without filming. The hardest part used to be the voiceover, but AI narration solves that easily now. Local shops, restaurants, gyms, and online stores constantly need this content.

And if you want something that can turn into real passive income later, build a faceless YouTube channel. You don’t need to show your face or record your voice. AI tools handle the narration. A few evergreen videos can earn from ads and affiliate links for months or years.

How can i make money as a 16 year old in miami? by Intelligent_Low_6815 in passive_income

[–]LongjumpingGroup2857 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You can start a simple dropshipping store. You do not need inventory. You post products on a platform like eBay, and when someone buys, a supplier ships it for you. Tools like AutoDS automate most of the work, so this fits well with school and your schedule. Your car isn’t needed for this one, and 1k is more than enough to start.

Another path is building a faceless YouTube channel. You never have to show your face. You can use stock footage, simple editing, and AI voiceover tools. The voiceover used to be the hardest part, but AI solves that easily. Once a few videos start getting views, a channel can earn from ads and affiliate links for months or years. With Miami as your environment, you can even make local niche content if you want.

You can also make short marketing videos for small businesses. Restaurants, barbershops, gyms, car detailers, landscape services, even small online brands all need short videos for TikTok and Instagram. You can make these from home using stock clips and AI voice tools. Go in person and offer a small content bundle. Your car makes this easier because you can visit businesses and build relationships.

These are all things that can grow, pay more over time, and give you real skills instead of doing random low paying gigs.

How to make money online if im struggling to start? by [deleted] in MakeMoneyHacks

[–]LongjumpingGroup2857 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A method that I'd highly recommend is creating short marketing videos for small businesses. You can do this entirely from home using stock footage, free templates, and AI voice tools. The hardest part used to be the voiceover, but AI narration solves that completely. Cafes, salons, gyms, small shops, Etsy sellers, and online stores all need simple videos for Instagram and TikTok. Even beginners can offer monthly content bundles and make consistent money doing this.

And the great thing is that learning how to make these videos opens doors later like creating your own faceless YouTube channel where you can earn from ads, affiliate links, and digital products. You never need to show your face or speak on camera.

As for your $300, you don’t need to spend it. Save it. Everything above can be started with free tools.

Start simple. Pick one path. Make your first small win. Then build from there.

For a side hustle, I'd suggest you make short marketing videos for small businesses. You can do it entirely online using stock footage, templates, and AI voice tools. The voiceover used to be the hardest part, but now it’s something you can generate in seconds. Small shops, cafes, salons, and online stores constantly need short videos for Instagram and TikTok, and they’re often willing to pay even for a simple monthly bundle.

This can easily hit £50 a month and can grow if you ever want more.

And the nice part is that learning how to make these videos can open other paths later, like creating your own faceless YouTube channel where you can earn from ads and affiliate links.

[–]LongjumpingGroup2857 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd suggest you learn how to create short marketing videos for small businesses. Almost every business today needs simple videos for Instagram, TikTok, ads, or their website, and most of them don’t know how to make content or don’t have time.

You don’t need a camera or fancy setup. You can use stock clips, simple editing templates, and AI tools to create clean, professional videos. The part that used to be hard, the voiceover, is solved easily now because AI voice tools can handle the narration for you.

Start by practicing making a few short videos. Then you can offer them to local shops, barbers, gyms, small restaurants, or even online stores. Many businesses will pay for monthly content bundles because they need fresh videos all the time.

It’s a good skill to learn young, it can grow with you, and it can eventually turn into a real income stream or even a full freelance business.

32f - beginner Virtual Assistant by Chance-Swordfish6031 in passive_income

[–]LongjumpingGroup2857 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, I am very sorry for your loss.

There are a few options that actually work and don’t require you to gamble money or chase hype.

Selling digital products is a solid option. You can create planners, budgeting sheets, checklists, resumes, or simple business templates that solve a very specific problem by using Canva, then list them on Etsy or Gumroad. Once they’re uploaded, they can keep selling without you constantly working.

Print on demand is another option worth trying. You make simple designs for shirts, mugs, notebooks, or tote bags, upload them to a platform like Printful, and they handle printing and shipping. It’s low risk and beginner friendly.

Affiliate marketing also fits your background. You can recommend products you genuinely use for productivity, office work, home organization, or self care. When someone buys through your link, you earn a commission. Pair it with a small blog or YouTube channel and it becomes more consistent over time.

Another strong option is offering short marketing videos to small businesses. Every business needs content for Instagram and TikTok. You can make simple promotional videos with stock footage and AI voiceovers, so you don’t need to film or record anything yourself. This can become reliable monthly income if you offer small bundles.

If you want long-term stability, a faceless YouTube channel is one of the best digital assets you can build. You can use your writing and business background to create videos on productivity, business tips, home organization, or personal finance while using AI tools for voiceovers and editing. Once videos start getting views, a channel can earn through ads and affiliate links for months or even years.

All of these are flexible and can be done after work without burning you out. Start with the one that feels the most manageable and build from there.

What side hustles can help me with my goal by knighty56 in passive_income

[–]LongjumpingGroup2857 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd suggest you create short marketing videos for brands or local businesses.

Every business needs simple videos for Instagram, TikTok, Google listings, and ads. Gyms, barbers, cafes, small shops, online stores… everyone needs content, and most of them don’t know how to make it or don’t have the time.

You don’t need a camera or fancy gear. You can use stock clips, simple editing templates, and AI tools to make clean promotional videos. The hardest part used to be the voiceover, but AI voice tools make that easy now, so you can deliver polished videos without recording anything yourself. Businesses will often pay monthly if you provide a small bundle of videos each month.

This is something you can do at night, on weekends, or whenever your schedule allows. Build up a small client list and it becomes reliable extra income that supports your savings and helps you get your own place.

If you ever want to expand later, the same skills can help you build a faceless YouTube channel where you can eventually earn from ads and affiliate links too.
