So, back in January of this year,
I took a trip to Florida, I hung out by the pool,
I went to the beach, and I spent about 30 minutes
each morning just checking up on my emails.
And, you know what is amazing?
I made the exact same amount of money that week
as I made the week prior.
That is why I make passive income.
What's going on, you guys?
So today, we're gonna be talking about my business model,
what percentage of my income is passive income,
So, like I said in the introduction there, guys,
that is the main reason why I make passive income.
I wanna be able to go take a week off,
go take a vacation, go travel if I want to.
If I wanted to I could leave my house tomorrow
and go to Bermuda for two weeks and I would still have money
coming into my bank account.
Now, would I have to do a little bit of work beforehand?
I would.
I would have to schedule some content
for my membership site, but that's the beauty
of my business model is I don't have to be present
in order to make money.
I can also run this business from a laptop
anywhere in the world.
And, these were the main factors involved with my decision
when I decided on this business model.
I wanted to not be tied down to any one specific location,
and I wanted to have a flexible schedule where I could work
more when I wanted to, work less or work not at all
if I didn't want to at that point in time.
But, I'm gonna go ahead and break it down for you here.
I'm gonna show you what my income sources are,
whether or not they're passive or active
and tell you a little bit more about the money I am making,
and whether or not I actually recommend this business model
for passive income.
But, before I get into that video, I just wanna mention
we did a 1,000 Like Challenge on my last video.
I said if I got a thousand likes I would do this video here.
And, we got a thousand likes in less than five hours
which was absolutely incredible.
So, thank you so much, guys.
But, I'm gonna do another offer for you guys here.
I usually don't do videos on a Friday because on Fridays
I do my video for my stock market membership site,
Stock Radar, but if we can do 2,000 likes on this video here
in the next 24 hours, I have
a really interesting video idea for tomorrow.
I wanna talk about what would I do if I lost everything,
if I woke up and my YouTube channel was erased
and I had to start over, what would I be doing?
And, if you guys can do 2,000 likes on this video,
I will put that up tomorrow for you.
I think it would be a really interesting video
for those of you that are looking to get started
with earning passive income or earning income online,
but you don't know quite where to start.
I'm gonna tell you where I would start
if I had to begin all over again.
But anyways, let's get into the video here guys
and talk about how I make money, how I make passive income
with my business.
Now, is all of the money I'm earning passive income?
Absolutely not.
A lot of it is actually active income.
Some of it is somewhat active, somewhat passive,
and then a large amount of my income
is what's called residual income.
So, it's not passive in nature.
It's not as bad as active income
where I have to be working for set hours,
but I do have to continue to add content
to my membership site in order to make money from that.
But, what I like about that is it's recurring income
at that point so I know how much money
I'm going to be making each month.
Because the big downfall to my other income sources,
my passive income sources, is that they fluctuate
based on the number of views I'm getting
as well as things like the advertiser rates,
and there's a lot of different factors involved with that
that make it fluctuate and that's not really desirable
when you're looking at your income.
You wanna have a idea of how much money
you're going to be making.
So, just keep that in mind,
especially with an online business.
You're gonna see a lot of fluctuations
with the amount of money you're making every single week
or every single day in some cases.
So, the first way I make money
is by the YouTube advertisements.
And, I'm sure you guys saw an ad
before you watched this video
and so I get paid for YouTube advertisements.
YouTube puts ads in front of my videos
and I get paid by that.
Now, is that a good business model?
I would say no and that's because I've seen
40% fluctuations in my ad revenue
just based on the number of views I'm getting
as well as what advertisers
are paying for ad space right now.
So, imagine if you had a 40% fluctuations
in your revenue each month,
in some cases that's not really a desirable thing
to have with your income.
You wanna have a general idea of how much money
you're going to be making.
Now, is that passive income or active income?
I would say that it's 80% passive, 20% active.
And, what I mean by that is about 80% of the money
I am making in ad revenue is from videos
I've done previously.
I'm not doing anything to those videos,
but I'm still making money from them.
In fact, one video alone on my YouTube channel
covers my car payment and that's pretty cool
that a video I did months ago that I haven't done
anything to since pays for my car every month.
So, it's pretty cool what passive income can do for you.
But, the thing is if I were to stop making YouTube videos,
then that passive income would start to taper off
and I would start making less and less money.
And, so it is still active in nature,
because I still have to put out content
in order to continue to get views on my channel.
And, if I stopped making videos,
my income would definitely start to dry up.
Now, the second way I make money
is through affiliate links and this is 100% passive income.
Now, this is a very small portion of my income
and really it's because I don't do
a very good job with this.
You can do a lot better with Amazon affiliate links
or other affiliate links if you do a good job promoting them
or if you mention a book or a product in your videos,
you're gonna link it up in the description.
I really don't do a very good job with that.
I just have my affiliate links as in the books I recommend
and then my equipment in the description
of all of my videos.
And, that's purely passive income.
So, every time somebody clicks on that link
and makes a purchase on Amazon, I make a certain percentage
of that commission, and I also have affiliate links
for Coinbase and Robinhood in my description.
And, so when somebody signs up for Coinbase or Robinhood,
I get a small kickback from that.
But, that is completely passive income
and it's not a lot of income, but it's not anything
I have to work for.
It's just from people clicking links
in my description and me directing them
towards a certain service or a certain product.
But, you could make a lot more money
with affiliate links if you spent more time with it
and recommended more products in your videos.
And, a lot of people do this with blogs.
They'll have blogs where they have Amazon affiliate links
and they do like review sites
where they're reviewing products and selling that product
through Amazon affiliate links.
And, I think you could do a lot better with that
if you had something like that.
So, for the business I do, oftentimes
I'm recommending books.
That's about an $8 item.
And, if I'm making, I don't know, five to 10% of that,
I'm not making very much at all on that item.
So, even when somebody does click on my link
and purchase a book, it's not like I'm making
a ton of money off that.
So, if you were recommending a higher priced item,
you would probably do a lot better
with the affiliate links than I'm doing here
on this channel.
And, then after that I have my membership site
and that is what I call recurring income
because I'm making income every single month from that.
I have an idea of how many members I have
in Stock Radar and it's a very consistent income.
Now, that's a plus for me because my other sources
of income are not very consistent.
They fluctuate and so my membership site is really
the core of my business and that's what I know
I can pretty much rely on because you know
a certain percentage of members are going to stay.
A certain percentage are going to leave.
That's gonna be your churn rate.
But, as long as more people are joining
than you have leaving, then you're going to be building that
over time and you're gonna have a nice recurring revenue.
That's actually my favorite income stream
of all the income streams I have related to my channel
is that membership site just because it is predictable
in nature and I have a general idea of how much money
I'm gonna be making from that.
Then after that I have my courses.
That's 100% passive income because I made them in the past.
I don't do anything to them now.
I mean, I do have the Facebook groups that I go into
and answer questions, but other than that,
the courses run themselves through Teachable
and every time someone buys them I get an email
saying I made a certain amount of money from that course,
and it's completely passive income.
So, the membership site is definitely recurring income,
it's not passive, but the courses
are completely passive income because I already made 'em
in the past and I still make money off of them.
And, then finally I have a few different avenues
I make money with off of YouTube.
Primarily it's through consulting and little bit
of social media marketing that I do on the side.
That's a very small portion of my total landscape
of my business, but that's completely active income
because I'm actually out there doing the consulting
one on one with people or I am doing
actual social media marketing.
And, before you guys ask, this is not investing consulting.
This is usually something related to building
a following online and whatnot.
I do a little bit of one-on-one consulting there.
Or general social media practices,
helping out small businesses with their social media.
But, anyways guys, that is how I'm making money online,
that is my business.
And, the big question that I think you guys have
is how much money am I making in passive income
every single month.
It's a really tough question to answer
because like I said, a lot of my income fluctuates.
My ad revenue fluctuates plus or minus 40% in some cases.
But, averaging it out over the last year of so,
around $7,000 a month is what I make in passive income.
So, if I go off and I were to take a month off
from everything I was doing, I would still make
about $7,000 from my past efforts
or the work I have done previously.
Other than that, it is recurring income or active income
that I am earning.
Now is this the best model for passive income?
I would say no.
Because if I stop doing what I'm doing here,
if I stop making YouTube videos,
then all of my income streams are going to begin
to dry up.
But, at the end of the day I love what I do here on YouTube
and so it's the best model for me.
But, it might not be the best model for you.
And, if you're purely looking to earn passive income,
there are definitely better models out there.
But, anyways guys, that's gonna wrap up this video.
Thank you so much for watching.
Keep in mind if I get 2,000 likes on this video
in the next 24 hours, I will do a video tomorrow
talking about what I would do if I had to start over
from scratch, if I lost everything, what would I be doing?
