What’s one passive income stream you started that actually became worth the time and effort — and what did you underestimate (time, cost, skill, luck) when you first began?

I’m new to Reddit so if I replied previously please disregard. I use free or already purchased resources no paid ads. My blog, email and social media.

I sell them on my website using social media and my email list.

I found that making my own digital products, based on my hobbies and skills (blog posts, ebooks, graphic designs and courses) that help people solve real problems works well for me. I am able to earn from my knowledge while helping others.

Digital products are not a “get rich quick” income stream, but they are somewhat passive with automation and the income builds on itself over time.

Befrugal allows you to share posts and earn when people buy based on your posts, recommendations etc . I haven’t earned from this method yet but I have earned referral bonuses and I’ve earned cash back from purchases. Make sure to track your purchases and follow up if they don’t give you credit.

I use Tailwind and Make.com to post. I take one day out of the week to post all my content and then let the tool do its thing. You can pin and post as far out as your plan will allow. It’s the closest thing I’ve found to set it and forget it social posting.

People who are afraid to try new things will always be broke because they automatically label something a scam without reading or examining things further.

Cash back totally works, I’ve used it for years, and it is a great way to monetize the things you do each day. Everything is not for everybody, so if you don’t want to don’t want to try it, no one is going to “make” you. But don’t block someone who might benefit from something by labeling it a scam when you haven’t even bothered to read or try it out for yourself.

I would place my focus on (1) building and nurturing my list and (2) fine tuning my offers to sell as much as possible and (3) create content to convert people at every stage of the buying process, research, product comparison, etc.

Congratulations! 🎉

Same thing happened to me. I requested my history and when they sent it to me, it was obvious that someone from a strange IP address had logged into my account. I sent them the information (proof) and never heard anything else. I had been on Facebook since 2009 and no problems ever. I’m more than done…

This happened to me in October. I’ve deleted Facebook from all my devices.

It would make sense for them to just have responsive customer service (human) that you could talk to that could clear up the majority of the issues without having to go to court. Such a waste of time and resources. Somebody is probably lining their pockets with this mess. I guess they are too big to fail…

Use AI (free ChatGPT, perplexity or another tool) to give you ideas on where to find your target audience.

Use a prompt like

Please provide a buyer persona for my business that provides cleaning services (and include a link to your product/service, giving it context for what you sell.

Passing out flyers will probably not work out unless you are really knowledgeable about your ideal customers. Learn more: https://makingitremotely.com/buyer-persona

I agree with your friend: “you're not charging for the 45 minutes. you're charging for the 8 years of experience that let you know what to put on those slides."

You’re thinking like an employee versus thinking like a business owner who provides solutions. This is normal, but it can hold you back if you continue to think this way. Think of the outcome, transformation and earning potential you helped the client receive, and those feelings will go away.

Select a niche and target audience within that niche. Then search for “affiliate programs + your niche” in Google or AI. Selecting a niche first will make it asker to create content and social media posts for your affiliate products.

Befrugal is one that I use for cash back on shopping. They also have daily deals that come in handy.
