How to turn one article into a passive income stream: the ultimate guide
The dream of every writer: publish an article, sit back, and watch the money roll in while you sip piña coladas on a beach somewhere.
Or, you know, while you scroll Twitter in your pajamas. Either way, passive income is the goal.
But let me be real with you: turning one article into a passive income stream is like planting a money tree. It’s possible, but it requires the right soil, some sunlight, and maybe a little rain (aka effort).
Don’t worry; I’m here to teach you how to grow that tree.
Write Evergreen Content That Ages Like Fine Wine
The first rule of passive income on Medium? Your article needs to have a long shelf life. That means writing about topics that people will care about next month, next year, and maybe even next decade.
Think “How to Save Money,” not “Why I Hated Last Night’s Season Finale.”
Examples of evergreen topics:
• Writing tips: “The Beginner’s Guide to Writing Headlines That Get Clicks”
• Productivity hacks: “How to Work Smarter, Not Harder”
