Is there anything like passive income?

Many articles on the internet are about passive income.

I don't understand that.

There is nothing like passive income.

Yes, if you inherit money, or already have money, you can earn it from the stock market or something like that.

But many write about ways like drop shipping, Etsy, blogging, affiliate, and so on.

That is not passive income, it is quite an active way to make money.

There aren't many ways to make an easy reasonable income without work.

Everything about selling isn't passive, it is very much work behind that.

You have to have patience and a lot of time, good ideas and a bit of luck.

Nothing grows overnight or by itself.

If you want to, let's say, have an e-commerce store with dropshipping products, you have to build a store, with help from sites like Shopify, WooCommerse, Wix, or BigCommerse among many others. It takes time to learn and understand how they work. Then you have to find a good drop shipping partner. Yes I know, AliExpress has a nice dropship but isn't always the ultimate partner, it has a long delivery time on most of their products, up to 6-8 weeks, and a customer wants it fast. I want it when I buy stuff.

So AliExpress isn't the best option, you can find products with a shorter delivery time, but you have to search. AliExpress is ok, but not the best, but it is free of charge. The better ones cost some money to use, and at the beginning of your business, you probably don't afford that.

You have to make money to make money.

I've started my e-commerce business a year ago, with no money to talk about.

I tried a lot of products and ways to sell, but nothing happened, so I tried another product and ways to sell. Nothing happened. And again, new product, no selling. 

Until I realized that I have to give it time and patience, there is nothing like fast money. Customers, like myself, relays on stable and trustworthy companies. 

We want to recognize the company, we must have seen it before. Before we trust it.

One way is advertising, but for that, you need money a lot of money. But if you, like I, don't have money. What to do?

You have to be seen.

And how do you do that?

Work on SEO, that is the most important thing you do. SEO is Search Engine Optimization for those who didn't know. I didn't know that, in the beginning.

I didn't know much about SEO and what it stand for, actually I didn't know what SEO was at all and how to optimize it, so I hired a person at Fiverr. It helped me a bit, but again, if you want a good job on your SEO, it costs a bit. I couldn't afford that, so it wasn't fully optimized to work well.

So I started to learn and understand SEO, I am not stupid, but perhaps slow, and there is much to understand, so I have a lot to learn. And that takes time too, and if you, like I, have another full-time job you haven't much spare time to spend on your business.

I use about 1 to 3 hours a day with my e-commerce store, and that isn't enough I think.

And then you have a life too, you have to live too, not only work.

Life is learning.

All the stories you read here about making big money in a short time, can't be true. I don't believe that. For most of us, it is hard work. You can't passively make money. It is not possible. Big money is big work. That's how it is.

And you, who believe writing is using an AI tool, it isn't, it's emptiness. It is nothing but a lot of words with no substance. No soul. 

I am not a good writer but I try the best I can, and that's enough for me.

And yes, I sometimes use those tools, mostly because of my bad English. It's not my language. So I need help with a sentence here and there. But it is not writing. 

A short way isn't always the right way.

The only way to accomplish anything real is to work. And work doesn't work passively.

I worked with the famous photographer Lennart Nilsson (A child is born) for about ten years, and one thing he learned me, among many others, of course, was to work. 

Do it, fail, do it again, fail, do it once again, and so on until you succeed.

And take help from those who know things better. 

So keep on, you who doesn't succeed at once, keep on. 

One day you will.
