I have tried almost everything to have a passive income in my life. What I have learned all advice on it are fake. There is no passive income.
All there is, is active income that can be made more passive. The thing is to build a value, something people pay for, and than figure out how to not do it. That is replace your own hard work by other means. Than you can be up to something.
But you have to put an enormous effort upfront and be sure you will earn substancial money. Not 5 dollars or 100 dollars a month. 1000 dollars is the minimum.
Otherwise it is just chasing ghosts and its better actually to invest in your self, in your skills and values rather than wasting time on another thing that everyone is talking about is a great passive income. It is all hoax to lure people to work for free for someone else.
