How I made 500.000$ in passive Income
It is easier than you think
Since passive income seems to be a popular topic here on Medium, I decided to share my crazy story of how I made $500,000 in passive income. Pay close attention. If you read the article carefully to the end, you’ll be able to do the same. Wouldn’t that be a dream?
My Motivation
I was tired of being broke. For years I had trouble getting through the month. At some point, I thought to myself: enough is enough. You have to become rich. No matter how. If it was a legal way, that would be quite good in spite of everything. And passive of course. So I set out on a search. I read a lot, watched hours of videos on Youtube, and read some of the approximately 27 million articles on medium how to best build a passive income. I was prepared perfectly and ready to go to passive income war.
My Path to Success
Crypto
First I tried crypto trading. I bought it at $65,000. With leverage of course. I wanted to get rich after all. Unfortunately, it came to nothing. I was apparently “liquidated.”
No idea what that means exactly.
Doesn’t seem to be that good though. My money is gone somehow.
Anyway. Fail forward I thought. So the next try.
Affiliate Marketing
Next up was affiliate marketing. I created a Clickbank account. But how should I distribute the products and generate traffic to my landing page? I had a brilliant idea.
I created a Twitter profile and tweeted motivational quotes and pics of lions. The dumber and more simple-minded, the better. I also kept sharing my affiliate links in the comments of larger accounts to generate reach.
Unfortunately, I was blocked by most of them and really couldn’t make much money either.
It was probably time to look around for something else again.
Gambling
It was time to increase the risk. I went to the casino and played roulette. I bet on red again and again. After each losing round, I doubled the bet. Until I won.
Can not go wrong… I thought I had discovered a money glitch and made some good money for a few days.
Until one day I had a run of bad luck and ran out of money after the 5th round of black in a row.
Fuck.
I was almost broke. Now I needed a stroke of genius to achieve my goal of fast, passive wealth.
I researched and found some options again, but I didn’t like them because I couldn’t get rich fast enough. Therefore, I was left with only one choice. I had to increase the risk again. The good thing is that a high risk often promises a high reward. At least I was foolish enough to cling to that hope.
The Big Win
That’s why I put all my eggs in one basket: the lottery. I was already on my way to the kiosk to buy my lottery ticket when I remembered that I wanted to become rich with passive income. Buying and filling out the ticket myself was too active for me. Anyone can do that.
On Medium, passive income is the real flex. That’s why I sent my girlfriend. She bought the lottery ticket and filled it out directly. So I didn’t have to do anything.
A few days later I got the news: I had won. The best part: completely passive! Passive income can be so simple.
I hope most of you have noticed. The story was not meant seriously. It was a joke. I am still broke.
Also, I want to emphasize that I am not making fun of anyone who writes here about their passive income. I dream about it as well.
However, there is nothing wrong with actively working for your money either, and a lot of things you read don’t work that easily.
If something seems too good to be true, it usually is. That should be the message of this humorous article.
And sorry for the clickbait title. I guess that’s how this works.
I hope you enjoyed it anyway. Thanks for reading!
