The theory is simple:

1. find a profitable niche

2. solve a problem for that niche

3. do marketing in that niche to get people to pay for what you've done

In practice, making a passive income is tough and it's way easier and faster to be working for someone else. If 0.1% of my users would be customer I would be doing much better than my day job, until then I'm in the marathon of bootstrapping my business. Good luck!

I would change this to:

1. Find a profitable niche 2. See if you could market to said niche in a way where you have an unfair advantage. 3. If yes to 2, market and sell the product before you have it to ensure demand 4. Build the product.

I would change this to. Find a project you would love to do (software, hardware, art; anything you love to be really good at). Make sure other people would like to see that project (ask your friends and see what others have done). Then create the project and blog about it, create tiktok/youtube videos. It can take a year or more . Also this project can be used to get you a job.

It is possible your project will fail; try to figure out why. Pick a new project and try again.

So I went to look at your website, but there is nowhere where I could see what your business is, it would help.

I noticed the blog items mostly.
