Consulting & Advisory Engagements
London’s two main financial districts: the historic City of London
"The Square Mile" and the modern hub of "Canary Wharf".
1. Dividends: The Gateway to Passive Income
For simplicity’s sake, I used Robinhood, deposited $100,000, and began investing in dividend-paying stocks like American Express, Verizon, and Starbucks.
Even with way too much cash in the portfolio, it earns me about $127 per month in dividends.
Additionally, I receive $97 in dividends each month from my M1 Finance portfolio, which includes growth stocks such as Apple, Tesla, and Nike.
That’s roughly $224 in dividend income each month that shows up without me having to do anything.
2. Interest: Putting Idle Cash to Work
For example, I have over half a million dollars parked in a large, traditional bank. How much did that account earn me? A measly $22.43 per month. Yes, that’s real.
Back when BlockFi was operational, I used it to experiment with high-yielding investments: I put $25,000 into USDC, and it earned around 8.6 percent annual percentage yield (APY), which equaled about $156 per month. This came with risks, not FDIC coverage, custody risk, regulatory uncertainty, and BlockFi eventually failed.
The money in these accounts is safe and easily accessible. But you won’t see the double- or triple-digit returns advertised by crypto platforms.
3. Real Estate (Without the Headaches)
Fundrise, for example, is a platform for crowdfunding real estate notes.
For years, I have received $116.66 per month from a private REIT I invested in. As a result of my investments in residential and commercial projects with Fundrise, I receive an additional $43 in dividends each month.
With no tenants, no repairs, no late-night phone calls, that’s $160 per month in passive real estate income.
4. YouTube: Evergreen Content That Keeps Paying
Whenever people see my YouTube channel, they assume all my income comes from new videos. Nope.
Despite no longer promoting them, two videos I made over five years ago still earn about $1,000 a month. When a video hits, YouTube keeps paying you long after you’ve moved on.
Overall, my channel generates $5,000 in ad revenue per month. That’s not counting sponsorships, affiliates, or course sales—just ads.
5. Blogging: The Ultimate Passive Machine
I launched it well over a decade ago to share financial advice. This passion project evolved into a business—and now a significant source of income.
Affiliate marketing, referrals to financial tools, investment apps, and banks, and banner ads generate most of the blog’s income. Since much of the content is evergreen, it continues to generate revenue for years after it’s published.
It’s possible to generate over $30,000 in a single month with a lean team managing updates and partnerships.
6. Private Investments and Startups
In some cases, dividends are paid quarterly, while in others, equity returns are paid over the long term. Despite its higher risk, it is also one of the most rewarding parts of my portfolio—both financially and personally.
7. Online Courses and Digital Products
Although I’m no longer actively launching new courses, I continue to generate steady revenue from my email list and evergreen funnels.
8. Royalties: Getting Paid for Work You Did Years Ago
9. Sellable Assets: Turning Years of Work Into Ongoing Income
It didn’t start passively—I worked hard and slept little to build a business that eventually ran without me. Eventually, it became a tradable asset.
It was a completely hands-off deal, involving an upfront payment and monthly installments over seven years totaling about $10,700 a month today.
