Hey everyone! I’m working full-time and considering starting a side income stream, but I’m unsure where to start. For those managing a 40+ hour workweek while earning passive income, can you share your experiences? How did you begin without feeling overwhelmed?

In the beginning, it’s rarely balanced. Expect to put in many hours initially.

Exactly. It took me 8 months to finally quit my job. Now it’s been 10 years since I started. 
Balancing a full-time job with passive income is about starting small and being consistent. Focus on low-effort options like investments or digital products, and allow them to grow over time.
I was a DM/director for AT&T while working on my side hustle, which meant working nights for 2.5 years before it became a legitimate business that replaced our incomes. Digital products and affiliate marketing are efficient ways to monetize online, but you need to identify a specific problem to solve for someone.
There isn’t really anything to balance—passive means minimal time required.
I save the money I earn from my full-time job into a savings account that generates passive income.
It’s different for each person. You get to set your own rules.
I create and sell my own digital products like ebooks during weekends and nights. Check more info here: @moneyhustlerepeat, or DM me!
Start small and grow gradually. Do what you can each day without expecting perfection. This way, you’ll enjoy the journey and eventually see returns. What are your ideas for earning passive income?
It’s simple for me— I invest in income-producing assets on the NYSE and enjoy the automatic deposits. If you have to balance your time, it doesn’t sound like you’re earning passive income; it seems more like juggling jobs.
It can be overwhelming to balance, but not all income streams require significant time. I leverage airdrops and sweepstakes for extra cash, and they can add up if approached correctly. DM me for details.
You can’t truly balance it without risking burnout. You can either work hard squeezing both in temporarily until your side gig takes off or stick with the full-time job.
