Please Stop Focusing on Passive Income Else Learn a Skill and Get Paid
Then try to create a passive income.
I see that many people want to develop a passive income source.
But it’s pointless.
Let me explain what I mean.
To be honest, I had no idea about side hustles or passive income when I first started learning to code.
As a result, I haven’t concentrated as much on passive income or even side hustles. At that time, I was paid when I create websites for clients, I was paid when I work as an intern for a month, and when I work with startups.
Although the journey was tough, I was able to acquire what I needed to know in a very short period of time. I’m making more than I ever imagined because of what I’ve done.
To be honest, I’ve changed the way I work. Then I went ahead and started a side hustle. You might be astonished to learn that when I wrote about finance, books, or even self-help growth, I didn’t make any money. But when I began writing about programming, things took a turn for the better. Now, I make more than 90% of Medium writers. Not at all bragging.
The major reason for this is that I am knowledgeable about it, have worked in that field, and am aware of what others are unaware of.
Have you figured out why I’m talking about acquiring a skill and getting paid for it?
Passive Income is simply the bonus that you earn
Individuals believe that investing in stocks will provide them with passive income in the form of dividends.
Yes, you are correct.
Similarly, some people believe that investing in houses might result in passive income in the form of rent.
Yes, that might be considered passive income.
Do you see how, as shown in the instances above, you must invest your money in order to get passive income?
However, we do not all have the financial means to invest in such assets. Also, you won’t be able to make much interest from it.
Assume you’ve invested $100,000 in real estate and you get monthly rent of less…
