Stop Believing Micro Niches Are Passive Income

How to Take Action on your Next Idea

In response to 200 Micro Niche Ideas to Make Money from Internet

Ugh! There is so much click bait and snake oil over the internet, and I swear it has gotten significantly worse since the whole pandemic thing started.

At least once a week, if not more, I see articles telling me how I could be spending my time earning a “passive income” and be living my dreams as an entrepreneur. However, they all tend to leave out the fact that they either have large friend groups, started advertising campaigns, or leveraged their existing online presence to gain popularity.

As someone that has found small but gradual success on small projects, here is my opinion on what it takes to gain traction with a niche.

If you are not thinking for yourself, the idea you have is not going to work.
