Transcripts
I've made over $300,000 in the past 30
days from Mostly semi- passive income
sources now what do I mean by semi
passive what this means are Income
sources that continue to pay me for work
that I've done far in the past in fact
over the past month I haven't even
worked that much all in total I've
worked much less than what most people
work at traditional jobs yet I've made
way over for most people even a yearly
salary in just a month and I've done
this wall travel in the world going to
multiple different countries in the past
month and whenever people hear that I've
been able to do this they always ask me
how and the purpose of this video is to
show you exactly that in fact I'm going
to be going over three different passive
income sources that you can do to
potentially make money online through
the internet in a passive way and by
passive what I mean is that you do the
work once and you can continue to profit
from it and passive income Source number
one is digital products but not in the
way that you probably think if you do
this method of making passive income
correctly it can potentially be huge
this income Source alone has accounted
for well over
$200,000 of my Revenue in the past month
which is why I'm sharing it with you
here first but in order to do this you
need to do something first in order to
do it correctly and that thing you have
to do first is known as skill
acquisition you need to acquire a
valuable skill that other people also
want to acquire now how can you acquire
these skills correctly in an actual good
way well there's a website known as
skillshare and they're actually the
sponsor of today's video big thanks to
them for sponsoring the video but online
education is something that I really
believe in and skillshare has a huge
library of different courses in almost
every Niche that you can imagine and you
can learn and acquire skills related to
topics like health wealth relationships
online marketing travel and Technology
basically ideally you're going to be
wanting to learn a skill that can solve
people's problems and all of those
topics that I just mentioned are
typically topics that people have
problems in now just to give you an
example of what you could potentially do
a huge trending topic right now is
artificial intelligence and also using
artificial intelligence to generate
things that companies actually need now
there's so many different routes that
you could go down here you could help
companies generate ads or logos with AI
or you could even use AI to help with
generating YouTube thumbnails and that's
why I've been taking a look at this
class right here on skillshare called
the mid Journey master class that's
going over how to use the AI tool mid
Journey in order to generate great AI
art but the thing is that these tactics
of generating AI art also apply to
YouTube thumbnails which is why I'm
really interested in learning more about
that so let's say you went through
courses like this on skillshare you
acquired that skill and you learned
exactly how to use AI tools and it'll
show you all the prompts and everything
you need to do now you have an
incredibly valuable skill then you can
take that skill and do a couple key
things that I'm going to show you to
potentially make a lot of money from it
now if you want to acquire skills I
can't recommend skill share enough check
it out down at the link below the first
500 people to use the link down in the
description will get a free 1month trial
of skillshare big thanks to them for
sponsoring this video and now once
you've got your skill the thing you need
to do in order to actually potentially
make money from it and make passive
income from it is to First do it in a
non-passive way now you might be saying
Matt why would I do it in a non-passive
way I just want to jump straight to the
passive income well trust me you need to
do it in this chronological process and
you'll thank yourself that you did so
essentially you'll go to marketplaces
then like for example Fiverr or
upwork.com and start implementing this
skill for other people for a very low
price initially you're not going to make
much money doing this but trust me this
is all part of the plan so let's say for
example you start generating YouTube
thumbnails for people maybe logos for
companies like we mentioned using AI
using the skills that you've acquired
through places like skillshare then
through doing this you'll build up some
great customer testimonials especially
if you're barely charging anything for
your services because the key to making
a lot of money with this isn't through
doing this freelancing that we're
talking about right here the key of
making a lot of money is to eventually
sell digital products and this is how we
can start making that semi passive
income where we do the work once and we
can profit from it for years and years
into the future eventually what we're
going to do is put together our own
digital guide so if they're doing this
and acquiring skills and so forth you'll
learn what are the best prompts for Mid
Journey For example and you can start
writing those all down putting them into
a Google Document which is a digital
product and then charging money money
for that digital product on places like
gumroad.com then when people buy your
list of prompts for Mid Journey off of
gumroad Boom you just made a little bit
of money and you had to do no work for
it you did the work once in the
beginning but you didn't have to do any
work every single time a news person
Buys so then you can just get infinite
sales into the future you don't have to
worry about trading your time for money
because you have infinite time now
because you did the work once and you
set up this semi- passive income stream
and the longer you have this income
stream going the more and more passive
it gets and the amount you've benefited
from that work continues to grow you can
also do things like put together online
courses sell Excel spreadsheet databases
of different things the possibilities
are essentially endless now once you've
got this passive income source of let's
say selling a digital guide about how to
do YouTube thumbnails with AI you might
be asking how can I get more eyeballs
onto that because more eyeballs means
more sales well the way you can do that
is by using our next passive income
source which is the platform on right
now which is YouTube but not in the way
that most people think you can run
YouTube channels where you never have to
step in front of a camera you don't have
to be an influencer you can simply do
YouTube by putting together slideshows
with something like Google Slides using
an AI tool like tube magic to write your
scripts come up with infinite great
video ideas and optimize your videos for
you use something like OBS to record
your screen by the way here's a list of
a bunch of great faceless YouTube niches
as well but let's say for example that
you started running a channel about how
to grow on YouTube how to generate great
YouTube thumbnails and you can just
saturate that Channel full of videos
about useful information on that subject
taking little bits of the skills that
you've learned throughout your journey
doing this so far and just sharing that
for free on YouTube then you'll start
building up an audience on YouTube and
this will be a directed audience and
even if it's tiny you can make a lot of
money I had a student on one of my
courses who had less than 3,000
subscribers who was able to make over
$100,000 per year from that and that's
by selling a digital product from his
YouTube channel and these are people who
are already interested in this because
they're searching these queries about
what he was talking about and each of
his videos barely got any views so even
if you're doing something as niche as
how to make YouTube thumbnails you can
make that into a full-time business and
that student that I was mentioning his
videos were literally just slideshows
using something like Google Slides like
I mentioned doing a screen recording
with something like OBS and just
demonstrating different concepts about
what he was teaching in the form of a
slideshow and you're not just limited to
long form video either you can also do
things like YouTube shorts Tik Tok
videos and Instagram reals as well to
diversify your content even more and
then you can even use an AI tool like
Opus clip Pro in order to take your long
form videos and split them up into a
bunch of Great Clips and basically let
AI do all that work for you and then in
order to make sure your videos are as
optimized as possible use tube magic
using the video optimization feature to
automatically optimize your videos for
you now YouTube is incredibly passive
and I've learned that that throughout my
past 10 years here on the platform
because I'm still getting paid every
single month hundreds of dollars per
month in some cases from videos that
I've uploaded when I was just 14 years
old so I know how passive YouTube can be
and hopefully you can learn that as well
and you can also even make money from ad
revenue from YouTube as well directly
from the platform it's always nice to
get an extra check every single month
passively from Google and YouTube itself
and so now you'll be making money from
ad Revenue you'll be making your digital
product sales because you'll be
referring people from YouTube in the
description of your videos to your
digital product now let's get your third
passive income stream and what we're
going to do here we're going to take the
current two passive income streams that
you've already set up and we're going to
basically use those to generate a third
one and this third one is the easiest
and the laziest of all of them because
you won't have to create a product you
won't have to be running more YouTube
channels or anything like that you can
simply plug and play something into the
first income streams we talked about and
basically turbocharge your income and
make even more money so let's say for
example we're doing that YouTube channel
about how to grow on YouTube how to make
YouTube thumbnails and everything what
if there's an easy way to add at least a
couple, per month to that passively well
it turns out there is you can partner up
with software that help people do what
you're teaching them how to do in this
case running YouTube channels and then
make money recurringly every single time
that you refer someone to that software
forever into the future and one great
software is my own to Magic that you can
sign up to to be an affiliate for and
will'll give you 50% commissions which
is unheard of when it comes to software
by the way to promote that in the
descriptions of all your videos and
you'll make even more money from that
and if you get a th000 people signed up
to tube magic paying you every single
month not only are all those people
going to be benefiting from the software
but also you'll be making an extra
$20,000 per month and it's recurring
month after month so now you've just
plugged recurring even more passive even
more lazy income to yourself so now
you've got these three golden passive
income streams I like to call it the
perfect trifecta for making money online
and now that you'll be making all this
money you might be asking Matt what
should I do with it well first and
foremost make sure to put a good amount
of it back into the business by doing
things like investing in more education
maybe buying some ads as well to what
you're doing and everything any extra
money you have on top of that after
you've paid for living expenses or your
bills and just doing whatever you want
to do within your life like for example
I love to travel I've traveled the
entire world just in the past 30 days I
went to India for the first time in my
life which was absolutely incredible but
the extra money you have put it into
something like a high yield savings
account where you can then even make
more money off of the money that you've
already made and right now interest
rates are super high so make a lot of
money off of that but then this is an
investment advice or anything this is
just what I personally do with my money
any extra money on top of that that I
know I'm not going to need for at least
the next 10 20 30 years I put into
things like ETFs which are long-term
Investments and then I just know in the
background that'll hopefully be growing
and making me even more money over time
now as I mentioned the best way of
getting tons of traffic to anything
you're doing online to turbocharge these
passive income streams is always YouTube
and if you want to discover how to do
YouTube in a completely faceless way but
these tactics work for any type of
Channel honestly check out this video
right here I'm going to be going over
some things that I've never shared
online before in this video right here
this video is essentially a completely
free course you're going to get so much
value from it check it out right here
everybody my name is Matt par and I will
see you in that video you are absolutely
going love it see you there
