Easy passive income for someone with 0$?

I’m unable to work a proper job, what are some passive incomes I can do for free?? It can’t be things like justplay or mistplay because my phone just doesn’t have that kind of space. I’m using EarnApp on my PC but only made 0.56 cents so far since I live with my parents and they are always using the WiFi.

I heard Etsy charges a fee to actually make an Etsy store, which I can’t pay since I’m literally starting from nothing. I do art but idk where I could turn it into passive income??

Any advice helps! Serious advice only please!

Can not require ID verification, as I don’t have an ID due to some issues outside of my control!

I think people overlook TikTok, but you can make some good money on there. However, it’s not something that will earn you money quickly. Depending on the content you post. It could take 6 months before you get paid, but once you do start being paid it’s a nice little earner.

I’d say this is more on the ‘side hustle’ side at first, but then moves to passive income later.

I’ve tried TikTok but not really had any luck since I’m posting mostly furry art, and my ex keeps stalking my account on there.

They are just being assholes. It’s easier said than done, but just respond with something along the lines of ‘thank you for your interest, but my commissioned work does cost $____ and I am unable to offer such a significant discount.’ Then if they continue being jerks report them on whatever platform you are using for harassment, and remove yourself from the situation.

If they are being assholes already they will not convert to successfully paying customers. If they are not paying you, they are not worth your time.

Tysm for the advice!!!

If you don’t have an LLC, you probably shouldn’t do anything with MLM or Platforms like TikTok, Youtube etc.
Otherwise you will probably get fined pretty damn hard.

I have listed some sites that pay you and require no investment or anything.
Surely pretty good if you want to start from scratch.
Maybe there is a site you like or something which fits into your category.
I listed all in this spreadsheet.

Websites I’m using

Edit: those sites will not make you a living but can help you maybe with some starter cash if you need something for maybe a used laptop or something.
If you only have a phone, I would use the Pawns app and do surveys.
Then buy a computer for $50 and use the other sites and upgrade at some point to a better computer if needed.

It’s not passive, but furries pay a lot for commissioned art. Check out Fiverr and similar sites. I also often see people offering commissions on furry conventions FB pages.
Do not do commissions for free or ‘exposure’. You are providing a product and require appropriate compensation.

@Tan
I never offer for free, my prices aren’t extremely high either but people still insist I do it for free or get mad and slander me, which I don’t understand what their game is when someone is offering a service that takes hours.

It’s tough to start with literally zero dollars, but making art is a great skill to have. Have you considered posting your art on social media to gain a following? It takes time to build a following, but you can offer commissions once you do. You could even look into print-on-demand services to sell your art on t-shirts or prints, which could eventually turn into some passive income. Check out Skillshare or YouTube for free resources on building an online presence as an artist.

@Pax
Oh thanks! I’ve done a few commissions but on the only slim social media I use people just whine that they want art for free, which I’ve almost been scammed several times. Wish people took artists seriously, especially on websites like Instagram.

I’ve heard of Kofi, but I’m not sure about it since it’s supposed to be like Patreon from what I’ve heard, I’ve also thought about trying to sell digital coloring book pages but I’m not sure if that’s a good idea or not.

When you don’t have any money. All you have to sell is either your skill or… yourself.

If you lack both sources of content. The best story you can tell right now is the journey to find such skill.

Something like my journey of 1000 days to make $100. Where you try something new every day to try and make money online and document your process.

All $0 startup online starts with an audience. And you need to build your own. There are a lot of content creators centered around this niche and lots of opportunity to collaborate.

Good luck, one of the content creators I work with got started with this while homeless on the street. He started live streaming and documenting his homeless life on TikTok and gathered almost a million followers within months. He is no longer homeless but the idea is the same.

Create a story you can present to the world. Keep at it day after day. Hopefully amass a following → profit.

Good luck it’s harder than finding a job but that part of the joy of working for yourself.

@Tatum
Thank you! I’ve been trying this kind of stuff, my niche isn’t really connecting with people through anything outside of my art, which is a pain.

Do you have any expertise or knowledge on how to do anything?

This is literally what I thought when reading this post. ‘I can’t do anything; how can I get money for free without doing anything?’

@Drew
I don’t know what you mean by this but what I mean is that often people don’t know that they have a skill that is actually valuable.

I’m only decently good at art, nothing else.

What art exactly? By hand or also digital?

@Oli
Digital; I can do traditional but I don’t usually. Just digital furries that I draw.

Oh, but you can do so much with that!
There’s a world open for you with digital products with your talents!

You can sell your digital files:

  • sketches
  • designs
  • clipart
  • themes
  • create personages based on customer wishes
  • illustrations with and without colors to use for coloring books etc.

Upload your files as PNG, SVG, JPG.

Brave browser. Just a browser which pays ~$1 a month for you to use (you get a cut off ads you see). It’s not much, but it’s paid in a crypto token which occasionally 10x’s etc.
