Digital Products and eBooks
If you've ever read articles or seen videos about publishing low content digital products or even publishing a low content document or a novel you've been probably never even seen one sale. Path to publishing has become easier with Ai and why not have something out there if it's free. I think if you have a passion for writing or if you find a niche pain point you can resolve with your product then you can succeed. But for a majority of beginner with no domain expertise here, this is probably a time sink.

Life Insurance side hustle
I'm a licensed life insurance agent. Most people don't know you can do this fully remote. Here's the real breakdown.
Yes, I'm actually a licensed life insurance agent in California. This statement alone would make any unwanted guests in your home leave faster than anything else you can do. Most people don't want to hear about it and definitely much less talk about ... It's easier if you have a good authority and relation with your relatives and friends. Cold outreach is extremely difficult unless you are talented at networking and sales. My mentor is a genius at this, she's about to retire in her early 40s. I don't quite have the right personality to be able to make much. But It is a good form of residual income and with ethos as one of our products everything can be done remote and online without a medical exam. To become an agent, you'll have to pass the insurance board exam and also pay for errors and omissions insurance so it's not a no time or cost endeavor.
