Thank you so much for the video, great content!! I'm already working on a product web app in the weekends, I know you've mentioned Flippa for selling the apps, but my question is, is it good to sell when there's a traffic in the app, or if I sell it with no traffic does it have any value to it? which is the best way to it? and what would be the next step to this?

Lot of interesting ideas here but most require additional skill sets, IMHO if you already have a high paying full-time SE job probably the most passive & easiest option is to live below your means and invest any savings in the stock market and let compounding interest work it's magic

[bonsaipropaganda]

thanks for this realistic look. passive income is often overhyped

[jscul]

So much value provided here. Thanks for the input. I'm currently working on a SAAS. It looks great for resumes and if it gets big you can make money off it.

[Ohiostategenerationx]

He forgot to also mention selling likes and subscribers and follows and etc. I am able to sell tons of likes and views and subscribers and etc.
