My numbers are down O_O πŸ“‰


I’ll be honest with you - my numbers have been down lately. 😱

Not because blogging β€œdoesn’t work”…
​
But because I haven’t actually worked on my blog.

And here’s the truth no one tells you:
πŸ‘‰
Passive income isn’t 100% passive.

Yes, digital products, affiliate sales, and blog traffic can continue to generate sales long after you hit publish.

​
But if you stop showing up completely?
​
Traffic slows. Engagement dips. Sales decline.

It’s like planting a garden:
The seeds will grow, but only if you keep watering them.

​

​

I’m sharing this because I don’t want you to fall into the same trap of thinking:
​
β€œI’ll set it up once and never touch it again.”

The reality is, β€œpassive” income still needs:
βœ… Fresh content to attract new readers
βœ… Consistent promotion to keep traffic flowing
βœ… Occasional updates so your products stay relevant

The beauty is, once you’ve built the foundation, the maintenance is light compared to trading hours for dollars. But it still requires intention.

So here’s my reminder (to you and to myself):
πŸ‘‰
Passive income works best when we keep actively nurturing it.

What if you want something TRULY passive that makes you money?

I would learn how to invest your money in income-generating assets that aren't too risky.

For example, even if I spend zero hours looking at

  • My blue-chip shares and ETFS consistently pay dividends
  • My cash in fixed deposits consistently pays fixed profits
  • My private equity funds payout twice a year without fail

It's set and forget

You can learn how to invest in income-generating assets here; it's perfect for beginners!

BUT, here's a reality

You need money in the first place to invest

If you don't have money?

When I wanted to start earning money from a blog and begin my journey of making money blogging, I just started writing and hoped for the best I had zero plan on how exactly my blog could make me money To be honest, I thought : Let's get lots of traffic, and the rest will come However, I had no plan for generating a lot of traffic either! Let’s be honest β€” most of us are guilty of this… We publish content without thinking: HOW will it make me money?? We get caught up in writing, editing,...

Hey there When I went on maternity leave, I thought I had it all figured out. (Well, the business part, not the being a new mom part - I was pretty clueless about that.)

You know the type. The person who slides into your DMs with β€œCan I pick your brain real quick?” … and suddenly you’ve written them a full consultation β€” for free. It happens to every business owner and blogger at some point. And while generosity is part of who we are, here’s the truth: you can’t build a sustainable business if you give away all your time and expertise, all the time.
