This is How Much Passive Income I Earn while doing NOTHING!

I haven’t worked on my side hustles for the past months

Everyone is always talking about passive income, how you REALLY need it if you don’t want to spend your whole life working your ass off, right?

But do you ever wonder how “passive” your passive income truly is?

Well, I’ve tested it and I’ll tell you.

Background

In the beginning of the year, I got a new opportunity at my day job.

Yes, I still have a day job — I’m in cyber security.

And even though it might not sound familiar or exciting to many of you, I absolutely love it. The feeling of “improvement”, and “helping others improve” is something that gives me energy.

This is the same in cyber security, as it is for this blog. Helping. Improving. Becoming better.

It’s actually one of the reasons I started this blog. It’s not to earn money because, well, it’s not like it’s making me particularly rich. I think, if you want to become rich with writing, you need to post at least 1 article a day, include offers, ads, affiliate links and much more.

Anyway, because of this new opportunity I got, I had to study A LOT. But really, a lot. Almost all my free time has been going to studying in the past few months.
