This passive income idea is super easy! You can have this setup in less than an hour and begin selling your product. Yes, family and friends are great for support an word of mouth but you will need to utilize social media and maybe ads to get your product in front of more people.
I’ve self published before. If nobody sees it then it does not matter what you write without marketing or gaining an audience. Friends and family can only give you so much money.
You have to utilize social media, run a few ads to gain some traction on your offering. However, family and friends can tell their friends who will then tell their family and friends. Word of mouth truly works.
