Last year I read 2 books about making a living online no matter where you are in the world. They were called “Laptop Millionaire” and “Click Millionaire”. “Laptop” follow the “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” type of book. Starts with the author and his mentor “The Laptop Millionaire” who taught him to make a living with his laptop and precedes to teach you the same. “Click” on the other hand was more on “The Four Hour Work Week” format but they both share similar answers to the same question. How do I make a living from working from my laptop.

There’s several different ways to do so. If you ever read “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”, you know the way to continue making money without working is to create a passive income. There’s several ways to earn passive income, just depends which one works for you. If you’re a blogger, you create passive income by including ads on your videos and articles. If you’re a musician, you earn a passive income with your music, collecting royalties by selling it online through iTunes, amazon and other online retailers. If you’re a filmmaker, you create your own films, web series or produce other video content (like Tutorials, courses and seminars) and sell or stream them on Amazon, Itunes, Vimeo, Udemy, Sellfy or even collecting ad revenue showing it for free on youtube.  If you’re a designer, you freelance your services on 99 Designs or freelancing through Fiverr.com.

Another way to earn a passive income is from Private labeling. Tai Lopez recently discussed it on his podcast and youtube and you don’t have to sign up for his program to get started (most of the stuff he teach you could learn reading books on your own and practicing it yourself, promise you’ll be spending the same amount of money.. Tai is a real good marketer but the stuff he teaches can literally be found anywhere online). This video literally has everything you need to know to get started (if you already understand trademarks, copyrights, getting an LLC, etc).

It’s not hard to make money online but it won’t happen over night. It takes a while to get started but after you lay down the ground work and establish a brand and keep building your assets until you earn more passive income then you do with your day job!

Early this year, I watched Gary Vee on social media talking about the 2017 Challenge. He said with the amount of items you have at home that you no longer use, or the cheap things you could buy at thrift shops, flea markets, garage sales and dollar tree, you could flip online on Ebay. I wanted to focus on it but with me running Natural Gifts (my cold pressed juice and fruit infused alkaline water company), producing and shooting web series & other online content and developing my next film and books, I really couldn’t focus on traveling around looking for things to flip (I did attempt to flip the MC Donald's Pillows I got from uber but that didn't go far)but then this week I saw something that made me do back flips. This guy didn’t travel to different garage sales and flee markets. He went to his nearest Walmart, Target and Toy’s R Us and flip those exact items on Amazon.

Ryan Grant turned a lucrative side-hustle of flipping Hot wheels and other purchases into a full-time job, and you could too! All you need is a cell phone and the amazon seller app. Just walk into a store, scan a few items. If its cheaper there then it is on Amazon, buy it! Then go home and sell it on amazon and you’ll be able to make 2 to 3 dollars on each item you buy. Maybe more! So what do yall think? Will you take the challenge?
