00:00You know, I f***ing love passive income, but it's not really passive. You got to do a little bit of
00:04work to get it all started, right? So stick around, because today in this video, I'll be showing you
00:0810 creative ways on how to make passive income that you've probably never heard about. Now,
00:12this won't be your typical like, oh, just go start a blog or just believe in yourself. I hate those
00:16kind of videos. I'll be showing you how to generate passive income online that could generate you a
00:20few hundred bucks a month to even a few thousand dollars. Your audience is poor like you. Don't
00:25tell them how to make passive income. Just ignore her. Anyways, you guys ready? Let's get started.
00:28Number one, renting out your internet. Yes, you can literally get paid for nothing. Just letting
00:33people borrow your Wi-Fi. Platforms like Honeygain and Peer2Profit let you sell your unused bandwidth
00:38to companies doing market research, ad verification, or anonymous browsing. It's really simple. You
00:44install the app, let it run in your background, and voila, passive income starts. Now, most users
00:48report just making about a hundred dollars a month, but some users make $200 plus by using multiple
00:53devices. It's like your internet went out and got a job without telling you. You can use websites like
00:58Honeygain, Peer2Profit, or the Earn app. I mean, renting out your internet just baffles me. You
01:03can literally have a few devices just with this app on that generate you a few hundred dollars a month.
01:07You think you know everything. Anyways, next up. Ever written a genius ChatGPT prompt and thoughts,
01:12man, this should be worth some money? Good news. It is. Platforms like PromptBase will let you list
01:17and sell AI prompts for writings, codings, marketings, you name it. One seller even reported earning
01:22$1,200 a month selling niche prompts like create an Instagram caption for dentists that slaps. If you've
01:28got a talent for creating AI prompts, then put it to something useful like money. No degree, no product,
01:34just make some prompts. Now, here's another idea. There are platforms like lovable.ai and Hostinger
01:39Horizons where you can essentially build any sort of web app, e-commerce website, or any web app you can
01:44possibly think of. Now, I'm actually invested in this idea myself. So I've actually put together a team of
01:49maybe three people and we're trying to create one giant AI prompt that can virtually create an e-commerce
01:54website. So you would just take that prompt, put it into these apps, and then it'll just completely
01:59generate an e-commerce websites with a UI dashboard, with a tracking and everything. I haven't made the
02:05prompt yet, but once I do make it, I do plan to sell it for like $200. Number three, Amazon Kindle
02:11Direct Publishing. This is a passive income hack for people who still think print is dead. With Amazon KDP,
02:16you can now publish low content books like journals, planners, or even coloring books.
02:21There's no writing talent needed. One woman published a series of daily planners and reported
02:25earning $8,000 a month. I actually know a couple right now in Thailand and they create child books
02:30and they've sold them on Amazon. So they create these like basic math books, like one plus one,
02:34two times two, and also coloring books. And they report making about $7,000 a month on Amazon.
02:40The children niche is actually huge. And this stuff is actually really simple to make. So give it a try.
02:45Number four, and my favorites, affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is basically
02:48saying the art of, Hey, I use this one thing and you should try it too. And if they buy it,
02:53you then make money. You can promote products with a special link. And every time someone clicks
02:57and buys this product, you earn a commission, sometimes up to 50%. And I think you're all
03:02affiliate marketers at heart. Have you ever recommended a product from Target or Walmart to a
03:06family member? And then later on they bought it. Yep. That's affiliate marketing. I, myself,
03:10I made about $450,000 last year through web posting commissions. Now, if you want to learn
03:15how to get started with affiliate marketing, I have a tutorial in the video description. You
03:18can go ahead and check out. Now I definitely recommend to start with video content. So start
03:22with YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. I really don't recommend blogging anymore. I mean, blogging
03:27in 2025, I personally think it's dead. All right. I have a blog and I've seen my traffic
03:32just go like this, right? So you're always going to hear people saying, Oh, it's not dead.
03:36Buy my product. It's dead. It really is dead. Stick with video content. It's much better.
03:41Number five, selling courses. If you're good at literally anything, and I mean anything,
03:45playing chess, baking keto donuts, or just using Excel, turn it into an online course.
03:50Platforms like Teachable and Gumroad let you upload your course and sell it forever. I made
03:54about $250,000 selling courses on Udemy, and it's really not even that hard. Even if you get a hundred
04:00students paying $50 each, that's $5,000 for knowledge that you already have. You simply create it once
04:06and earn from it forever. If you have knowledge for something, people are definitely willing to
04:10pay for it. I've seen courses for people learning how to pick up roadkill off of a highway, right?
04:15And it doesn't really matter because there's so many people out there. There's virtually a niche
04:19for any type of industry. Number six, and I know this might sound basic, but high interest savings
04:24accounts. This is probably the most boring, safest grandma approved method, but hey, it's passive
04:28income. With banks offering up to 5% APY on savings accounts in 2025, putting your cash somewhere
04:34smart is better than letting it rot in your checking accounts. Think like this. If you
04:38parked $10,000 in a checking account, earning 5% a year, you just earned $500 a year. No
04:43hassle, no logins, just easy interest while you do nothing. Number seven, and this is a
04:48good one, crypto airdrops. This is one method that everyone overlooks. Crypto airdrops. This
04:53is where crypto websites give you free tokens. Literally, you do nothing and they will give you
04:58free tokens. All you need to do to obtain these free tokens is interact with early crypto
05:02apps, complete simple tasks, or just hold certain tokens. The famous Uniswap airdrop in 2020 gave
05:08out 400 uni tokens that's worth about $12,000 now. Or the Blur token, where some users received
05:13a free $30,000 with even casual users making about three grand. Sites like airdrops.io list
05:19upcoming opportunities. Now, here's the thing. You might make nothing from these tokens, or you
05:23might make 5,000% in a week. It's a gamble that doesn't have much risk. Now, I would only advise
05:28doing this with a crypto wallet that doesn't have much crypto in it. Now you're trying to
05:32scam your audience. No, you can totally make free money with crypto. You do need to connect
05:36your crypto wallet with these websites, so make sure that you're using a wallet that doesn't
05:39have much crypto inside of it. Number eight, sell your class notes. If you're a student or
05:43just really good at taking notes, StudySoup lets you upload and sell them to other students.
05:48Top users report making about $1,000 per semester. It's like Etsy, but for overachievers. If
05:53you're already doing all the work, you might as well get paid for it. And here's a bonus. If you're
05:57already out of school, find old notes and upload those too. This website will pay you
06:01for past notes. Most of the time, these college professors stick to the same curriculum, so
06:05it's definitely worth a try. Number nine, invest in real estate, but with Arrive.com.
06:10Meet Arrive.com. This platform lets you invest in a fractional ownership of rental properties
06:15with as little as $100. This site has probably the smallest risk. You earn rental income and
06:20appreciation while Arrive handles everything from tenants to property management. Some investors
06:25earn about 5% to 15% annually, depending on the property's performance. And I personally
06:29use Arrive.com. So this is my account from Arrive.com. Now I invested about $1,000 two years
06:35ago, and I'm up about $140, which essentially means I've gained about 7% a year on this website.
06:41And number 10, host an online AI directory website. Imagine building a website that lists all the
06:46best AI tools, ranks them, and then also you can insert your affiliate link. Websites like
06:50futuretools.io and toolify.ai are reportedly making about $10,000 per month through ad revenue
06:56and affiliate programs. You can easily build this website with WordPress, and I have a tutorial in
07:00the video description that'll walk you through how to do that. Now there are hundreds of these AI apps
07:04popping up, and a majority of these apps have affiliate programs where you can make a commission.
07:08Finally, some real advice you gave your audience.
07:11So anyways, start a directory website, list all the tools you can find, and then put it on your
07:15TikTok, Instagram, or even your YouTube channel. So lastly, let me show you all the three honorable
07:19mentions. Start a YouTube channel. I know, very basic, right? Make a few videos like best AI tools,
07:25or even how to clean your keyboard. Optimize it for SEO and let the AdSense checks flow. Combine this
07:30with affiliate links and brand deals, you literally have three ways to make passive income.
07:34Next, selling templates for page builders. There's tons of page builders out there,
07:38and there's always a secondary market to sell templates for those builders.
07:41If you're into WordPress and design, you can always sell pre-made templates on marketplaces
07:45like Envato, or even your own websites. You build 10 templates, you sell them for $49,
07:50and you only need a few monthly sales to make $1,000. I actually know many of these sellers
07:54on Envato, and many of them make $10,000 to $50,000 a month selling templates. On my website,
07:59Darrellson.com, we average about $8,000 to $10,000 a month, and we sell Elementor Pro templates for
08:05the Elementor page builder. And lastly, sell digital downloads. You can create a digital product once,
08:09like a resume templates, budget planner, or an ebook, and then upload it to sites like Gumroad,
08:14Etsy, or Payhip. Make it once, sell it forever. That's the power of digital products.
08:18There's also this one website where people are selling digital tattoos. I'm not even sure what that's
08:23all about. So if you do know about that, let me know in the comments below. Now, if you're going to ask me
08:27which one would I go with, I really think AI prompts are the future. I'm actually creating
08:31AI prompts right now to generate applications and e-commerce websites using one simple prompt.
08:36It's not an easy task because they're extremely large prompts, but I think AI prompts for me,
08:42I think that's the easiest to go with if you're trying to make passive income online.
08:45But I hope you all enjoyed this video. Make sure to give each method a genuine try, right? Passive
08:50income's great, but you got to do a little bit to get started. My name is Darrell Wilson,
08:53and I will see all of you party people in the next video. Take care.
