Can You Be "Lazy" And "Productive"?

Absolutely, I do it all the time! They made lounge wear for people like us! here are some ways you can be productive and earn passive income even if you're feeling lazy:

 1. Invest in Index Funds

- Low-effort investment where you buy and hold a diversified portfolio of stocks. Some people start with Cash app. Others go into the likes of Scottrade, Robinhood, Coinbase and We Bull.

- How It Works: Once you invest, all you need to do is monitor occasionally. The market does the work for you.

 2. Create a YouTube Channel

-  Make videos on topics you're passionate about or knowledgeable in.

- How It Works: Once uploaded, videos can continue to earn ad revenue and attract audience without further effort. I've made videos that I never expected to do so well like my first time bikini wax video, which did numbers! Like what were they expecting to see! 👀 And my layered Quesadilla short, because obviously the internet loves anything food!

 3. Sell Digital Products

- Create and sell e-books, printables, or online courses like the ones I've created

- How It Works: You create the product once, and it can be sold repeatedly on platforms like Gumroad or Etsy.

 4. Rent Out Property or Space

- Lease out an extra room, property, or parking space.

- How It Works: Use platforms like Airbnb or ParkingSpotter; once listed, it requires minimal management.
