Partnered with a small business locally as a passive owner. Could bring in anywhere from $80-$500/day depending on sales.I thought it would be cool to have a thread about the first steps people took to start getting their money working for them...
- Did you buy a rental property?
- Was it a small franchise or self managed business?
- Was it stocks?
Even if it was only cash flowing $10 or $100 a month I would love to see what people started with when it came to hands-off cash flow. Sometimes it can seem intimidating for people to know where to start but I am sure there are many great examples on here of people making a few dollars work for them in a smart way.
(Also please link to any individual threads you might have on the same topic)
Thanks!
I learned from blackhatworld, and the courses they ripped from gurus and shared on there.
I was on 1st page, but then there was a Google panda/penguin update and lost all my ranking.
That was the day I got a lesson in the importance of having CONTROL, damn you Google, damn you Matt.
I write/rap/produce myself but I've been thinking - is it really a scalable career? What I mean is, do people really listen to older albums or do you need to actively release new content, does it even pay that well, and can you hire a team to do most of your work? Regarding that last point, there's this old story of MF DOOM hiring others to dress up like him and "perform" at shows, so he himself wouldn't need to attend. In a similar sense, I could see someone like will.i.am or Trippie Redd use 2Pac-esque holograms, so there's possibly some untapped potential there (maybe something for you to look into?). There are also stories about Drake's "factory-style songwriting camps", which I would accept for some genres but seems disingenuous to me when it occurs in Hip-Hop.I'm a rapper, so I have a few songs on Spotify, Apple Music etc that net me 50-100 dollars a month. So my first asset was my literally my mindset lol.
A library of Kindle books. Took me basically one weekend to create and brings in around $50/month (for now).
It's only a small amount, but it's still going strong with zero work and it was an incredible feeling when I first started seeing that passive income hit my bank account.
Around 7 years ago I reached the goal I had for a couple years of having a 4-hour work week. Actually doing it felt like leveling up, even though I wasn't making much money at the time. Same thing with the passive income, it feels like leveling up, even if it's only a little bit of money.
Selling an ebook I wrote after one massive guide I wrote got A LOT of attention. Made me about 5 thousand total over a year
Now a good ol investment with a 10% profit per year
