If you want to generate passive income with 2,000 dollars to start, I would suggest that you get into online courses.
There are PLR online course packages that you can buy for dirt-cheap.
You can easily search for them online; just make sure you pick the right ones because many are outdated and some are total garbage.
But assuming you put in the time to filter them for quality, you don't have to spend much money to get quite a number of PLR courses.
The next step is to spend some of that 2,000 dollars to set up different websites for each course.
So one course means one website.
Then invest in setting up autoresponders for your sites.
You should then get a custom book written for each site.
You won't be selling the book or booklet; it's a freebie that you give to people who sign up for your mailing list.
The name of the game is to get as many people to sign for each course's mailing list because they're looking for daily tips, advice, motivation, inspiration, or what have you.
The more people you have on those lists, the higher the chance that, at some point, they may receive an update where they click on a link and buy your course.
Every time they get an update and refuse to unsubscribe is an opportunity for you to convert that list.
Remember, by setting up this network with a few dollars (less than $2000 USD) and spending the rest of your time on promotions using Quora, Facebook Groups, blog comments, and other free traffic generation techniques, you start "seeding" the Internet with your high-latency messaging for dirt-cheap.
The good news is the more people you get to sign up for your list, the bigger your list gets and the more updates you send.
It's only a matter of time until you convert enough list members to get your $2,000 back and way more.
The key is, month after month, as long as people don't unsubscribe, your list asset continues to grow, and you can convert a certain percentage of that list membership into cold hard cash.
What's the best part? You not only can sell your PLR courses for 300 dollars a pop, but you can also sell related services or courses or books; the list is endless.
