Need advises about to start something real

Hello guys,
Past few weeks thoughts about online buissnes cant go out of my head.
My dream is to create something online that generates passive income most in autopilot.
I dont want fast and big money, because atm I'm claim about my future, I have local buissnes and other good payed job, but every person knows that appetite grows while eating.

So the reason I made this thread is that I want to get advises where I should invest my money and time
to catch goldfish.

In the past I was a little in IM, I have some programming skills, knowledge about seo.
Have used some PPI, CPA, PPD networks.

Maybe there will be people who can advise me, which direction to look to build long-term passive income entraining project?
Thank you very much for your answers.
Cheers.

First off, don't start thinking about automation at this point. If you want something to be fully autopilot out of the gate, you're gonna fail. Anything you start is going to need a good bit of work involved in it if you want it to be successful. Only after success should you even consider fully automated. And in my experiences, once you've tasted success you'd rather just do it yourself as it feels so good.

I know that it wont be full autopilot at the beginning, every project needs handwork except you can invest big money to get right people work for you, but I want everything to do as much as possible on autopilot just cant decide what to do :S I dont hurry anywhere, want go to succes step by step

I'd check the making money forum and read through some of those posts. Right now drop shipping is making good money for the people who put the time into it.

I did some searching before started this thread, but found nothing much promising, It looks like big fishes dont want to share anything even their opinion, only newbies posts who trying to make something from zero. That methods where people makes 10-30$/day with hard handwork 3-5hrs aren't for me. I consider myself quite busy person so I'd rather invest 500$ each week and work for IM project 1hour/day than sit for 5hours/day.
