In a few months, she was making sales on digital products.
By selling digital products, she was able to make money without having to ship and fulfil orders. She says she still makes money from this methods.
Another passive income stream, according to the entrepreneur is Merch by Amazon and it requires zero capital to low income capital to start. She began her Merch by Amazon in 2017. You can sell custom apparel by uploading designs placed on their hoodies, shirts and other products which will be listed on Amazon, she said.
Whenever people buy from your listings, she says, you receive royalties and Amazon will print and fulfil your orders.
With this, Tseung says, you do not need a customer support as everything is paid out in royalties.
Building online course
Online courses are some other ways to make passive income because you can create something amazing that helps people with the ability to grow. People can have access to your content digitally globally instead of reaching one-one-one through services coaching.
