Over the past 12 months, I’ve racked up $100,000 from various passive income sources. But of course, this isn’t a post designed to brag that I’m richer than you. Nope. It’s designed to be super helpful.

Like many people, you want to have more money in your bank account. You also want to quit your job, spend more time with your family, and do other things that would improve your quality of life.

So with that in mind, I want to share several strategies I implemented to make six figures in passive income. Hopefully, you’ll find them useful.

I Became A Prolific Writer And Made Lots Of Money

Okay, it’s not quite as simple as that. But if you work hard enough, the opportunities to make money are endless.

Let me give you an example. I’ve made over $16,000 from selling eBooks on Amazon. And while that may not seem like much, it’s remarkable given that my books are terrible and poorly written.

If I can get rich on Amazon, there’s no reason why you can’t, either.

I Sold An Overpriced Online Course

Many content creators are selling courses that teach people how to make money on the internet. And, of course, it’s possible to charge $997 for information that can be found with a quick google search.

How do I know? Personal experience.

Many people are greedy and want to get rich quick. However, the only person getting rich quick is me. Because over the past few months, I’ve made $34,000 from selling an online course that teaches people how to sell online courses.

Impressive, right?

I Asked My Father For A Small Loan Of $50,000

I have a confession to make… This is the secret to my success.

My father deposited $50k into my bank account, so I could pursue my dream of becoming a successful entrepreneur. “You’re going to accomplish great things, son. I believe in you!”

Sadly, I ran out of money in less than a week because I thought it would be fun to buy a cryptocurrency meme coin. And sure enough, the value of my investment dropped by 87% in a week. Oops.

Thanks to the above strategies, I’ve made over $100k in passive income. Of course, having a large amount of money in your bank account might seem difficult. But I’ve done it. Which means you can, as well.
