The Truth About Passive Income as a Content Creator
Everybody wants to “make money in their sleep”—but let’s be real: passive income isn’t truly passive.
Here’s what people don’t tell you:
1. It’s NOT immediate. – You have to put in the work upfront before the money starts rolling in.
2. It’s NOT set-it-and-forget-it. – Even “passive” income streams like YouTube ads or digital product sales require marketing and updates.
3. It’s NOT the same for everyone. – Some people make thousands from passive income, others make pennies. The difference? Strategy.
So, what actually works?
Selling digital products (ebooks, templates, courses)
Monetized YouTube or podcasts
Affiliate marketing (getting paid per sale)
Automated memberships (Patreon, OnlyFans, private communities)
Bottom line:
If you want true passive income, you gotta build something worth paying for first.
So… what’s your first step?
