@DiamondSpoon try not to share your contacts publicly. This exposes you to people who may only be interested in talking you out of your money and possibly scamming you. Use the PM(direct message) function instead to communicate with members.
Yeah and that includes that chap up there who just told you about the "$100 offer perfect for your needs". Nonsense.
 
Create some social accounts like Reddit accounts, grow them and sell
Not passive, but you can do that even during your free time publishing memes
 
In fact, the best way is to use some of the resources you can use and use these resources to realize long-term benefits.
 
It'll be hard to find something truly passive, as in set-it-and-forget-it. Maybe building a bot to automate task that make money for you, like buying stuff to resell, or a Phone farm of sorts that farms music streams YouTube video views.
 
DiamondSpoon, you put the spoon in spoonfeeding.

You need to work between a few months and a few years to build something you could call passive, like a yt channel or membership website. But it would still be better to keep building regularly than setting and forgetting.
 
You can try Affiliate Marketing - Blogging/TikTok in a specific niche (eg: online learning, AI tools, mom & baby…). Tip: Focus on 1–2 best products, don't spam - solve problems for others
 
Nothing is passive from the start. You'll have to put in good work at first to get things going and only if everything is according to the plan, you could have "passive" income in the future. Or if you already have enough money, you can just invest them into trading/forex/crypto and use bots for autotrading.
 
There are many things you could build, but none of them are passive in the beginning. The hustle part is a necessary component of the side hustle thing, at least to start with. Then you could automate or build out something that doesn't require much upkeep, but earning money is very rarely truly effortless. If it was, people would automate it and saturate it very quickly. And that happens a lot.

people are still making money with dropshipping but it depends on who you learn from and what you actually do. some people are just selling false hope to grab your money.

I am glad that you said you can put 2-3 hours per day into this. That means you understand that there is no 100% passive income method. You get to put in some effort especially in the beginning.

That said, I will suggest just two methods I have made money from.

One is Amazon Kindle publishing. You create and publish books (could be fiction or non fiction) which are sold on Amazon and you get a cut if sold. I had books that I created ,which paid me royalties for years. But you are not going to become rich overnight. It takes a lot of effort to create many books and keep the momentum going even when there is no sales. Also you have to know what books to publish that are likely to get sales.

Another one which I think is more passive is create a free ebook in PDF format e.g. Weight loss tips, or a title like How to lose 59 pounds in 2 months and populate this with your affiliate links (think supplements, ebooks, etc). And instead of selling the PDF, you drop them in high trafficked PDF sharing sites. People pick them up, read and click on the affiliate links to make purchases. Chang, you earn money. You job is to get over 100 PDFs into the sites and they will work as salesmen for you for years, banking you affiliate commissions.

The books, nothing fanciful. Can even be plr books with master resale rights. You can even put together 5 articles on weight loss and turn that into a PDF. Populate this with your affiliate links. The book can be on any topic, but make sure to solve a particular problem. Think money, health or relationship.

I once created an ebook on how to get MLM leads from a particular site and gave that away. That single book me made me a few hundreds of dollars monthly from people who picked it up, signed up free with the site and when they upgraded to a paid account, made me money. The average months as paid customers was three, meaning I made passive commissions from those free sign ups that converted monthly for three months on average.

I had to stop the work when I found bet exchange trading. This one is completely active income and not passive. But I love it!

Most things work.

Just needs time and efforts.

1 build a local lead gen website and add it to local directories and join FB groups and share with people whenever you think they'd find it useful.

Join am affiliate program and create faceless videos giving useful info about the problem the affiliate product solves.

Join fiverr and Upwork and offer services. Reach out to local businesses and offer to work with them via those platforms where their money is safe unless you deliver quality work.

You can start by stopping dreaming.
Work cannot be replaced by any magic wish.
