Can You Earn Money While You Are Sleeping?
Sweet Dreams
You've done well, you've posted a bunch of content and now it is time to relax. Sleep well sweet dreams. In the morning you wake up only to find many sales have been made. You open the curtains of your bedroom and watch the sea roll over the white beach before you. An empty private beach all for you and your loved ones. Nice hot temperatures, excellent for a great day doing what you want to do: NOTHING.
Nothing to worry, for passive money will just run into your bank account and inbox while you are off to do other stuff. You step into the shower to get ready for a new day. When you return, your inbox filled up with yet another batch of income. Thousands of dollars made through the night and through the past weeks.
Can You earn Money While You Are Sleeping?
As you might have figured by now, unfortunately this doesn't quite reflect the reality of life. It might come as a surprise to you, but passive income doesn't really exist.
The only reference that is correct with the wording passive income, is that you can basically receive commissions or payments for your hard work anytime of the day, even when you are asleep. So technically you can indeed earn money while you are sleeping.
The wrong side of the wording is that it will get there without any effort whatsoever. It really doesn't happen overnight, it really doesn't happen without any work at all. It actually doesn't become thousands of dollars unless you really get working at it.
The Anti 9-to-5 Mentality
A lot of people flee the 9 to 17 job (9-5) and end up looking on the internet for the fastest way to make a living online while not working anymore at those annoying set times you would do at a regular job.
I am sorry to pop your bubble right here and right now, that your 9 to 17 job might more likely become a 9am to 2-3am job instead. You will have to work extremely hard at this, especially when you also got a parttime or fulltime regular job next to it to keep the bills paid.
So, passive income really doesn't exist. It is going to cost you blood sweat and tears as that is often called. You will have to get at it and keep on working at it and give it your everything!
The only tips I can give you are:
- Make sure it is your passion (or even better: the thing you want to do for the rest of your life)
- Follow the training here provided by Kyle and apply it to the dot(!!!)
- Offer loads of free value
- Be consistent: at what time you publish, at what day you publish, the format and content you publish.
- Build your (own) brand
- Be active in social media
- Don't go monetizing at the very start
All the best and have a great day!

Yes - most definitely
You may earn money whilst sleeping BUT only after putting in many hours of action creating the vehicle to make it happen.
There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Good evening my friend, you are absolutely correct in all that you have said, passive income you must have, every wealthy person has passive income. May you have a beautiful successful week.
I think you have read past the point of it all. I am saying that passive income doesn't exist. You will have to work hard to get any income at all.
Hi Trirat!
What part of my piece of content is your dream? The enjoying the sun and the beach and just wait for the money to come rolling in? I don't think it is going to be that kind of thing. You really have to get working on it.
Sure, you will have more freedom when you do the stuff, but you still have to do the stuff.
Sure, when you do what you want to do, you might not feel it is a job or a chore anymore, but the only thing we got for free in life is the sun at the moment and even that sun doesn't shine everywhere as much or as bright. To find that sun, you will need to work.
