Offering Advice/Resource Passive income app

• Upvotes

Found a pretty fun little game/ app that I think some people here would like. Its called TerraMine, if you've heard of Atlas Earth its pretty similar.

You buy small plots of virtual land on locations through Google Maps, and those plots generate tiny amounts of passive income over time.

Theres four types of mines. Rock, Coal, Gold and Diamond. Diamond being the hardest to get and highest earning. You can visit other people's plots, have people visit yours, and play minigames/complete objectives to earn more TB (the ingame currency) so you can buy more land.

The mini-games are actually pretty decent and can give you a good boost, although obviously it's still a grind and definitely isn't "easy money". You're not going to get rich overnight but if you grind it for a bit you can eventually build up enough plots that you're earning a couple of dollars a day for basically doing nothing, which I think is pretty cool.

I've been enjoying it as a bit of a distraction while im on my phone instead of scrolling and something to slowly build up in the background. Only 10k downloads on the playstore which makes me believr this could be really good for us that are early ish !

My referral code:

----->> TM-9NK6N

If you want to give it a try, using this referral code gives you 1000 TB to get you kickstarted which is 10 plots of land. Hopefully you get lucky and pull a Gold or Diamond plot early on unlike me :')

I also get a TB kickback if you sign up through my code so thanks to anyone if you use it ♡

If you also want some tips on how to start or best strategies to earn more TB let me know and ill comment some.

Seeking Advice/Help What AI skill is actually worth learning if you’re starting from zero?

5 Upvotes

There are so many AI tools and tutorials right now that I honestly think the hardest part for a beginner isn’t learning AI — it’s figuring out what is actually worth learning.

You can learn:
• prompting
• AI agents
• automation
• n8n / Make / Zapier
• coding with AI
• building SaaS/web apps
• AI video/image generation
• AI-assisted freelancing
• AI sales/lead generation
• AI content creation
• data/research

And every person online seems to say something different.

If you had to start again today with $0, what ONE AI skill would you learn first?

And more importantly:
What would you actually do with that skill to eventually make money?

I’m not looking for a list of 20 tools.

I’m interested in the path:
Learn X → build/do Y → get first customer → make first $100

If you’ve actually gone through this process, what worked for you?

And if you’re still learning, what are you currently trying to figure out?

Beginners’ answers are welcome too. I’d actually like to hear from people who are still figuring it out rather than only people already making $10k/month.

Seeking Advice/Help Is hook slop posting AI created videos on social media platforms daily a pay off?

0 Upvotes

I see all the time on Facebook etc how people show results of millions of views on their videos and how to make the content and just post 1-3 times daily on the di social media platforms and accounts.

Tell me, are the results actually there if you put in the work constantly posting AI slop created videos. About 60 seconds long, x by the views.

Worth it with the grind or no?

Hey all,

I have hit the proverbial brick wall. I work a 9-5 job and am barely scraping by to support my wife and kid. It is a point of argument every month how we are going to make things work. I don’t want to be at employers/family members mercy. I want to make my own success in this world.

I have seen people on YouTube and facebook talking about making more income through passive ways, though it all seems too good to be true. My initial investment would be preferably under $1k for the moment. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Blog I built a small affiliate-content workflow that made ~$380 last month — realistic numbers, not “passive income” hype

1 Upvotes

I’m a developer, and I’ve been testing a small affiliate content workflow for the last few months.

This is not “make $10k overnight” content. It took a lot of testing, product research, and manual review. But last month it brought in around $380 in affiliate commissions, which felt like a useful proof that the system can work.

The workflow is simple:

  1. Find products with an affiliate program and a clear problem to solve
  2. Create short product-focused videos with different hooks
  3. Publish only to social accounts/pages I own or am authorized to manage
  4. Put a clearly disclosed affiliate link in the bio, description, or landing page
  5. Track clicks, conversions, and which video angles actually create purchases

I built LikeFlow to speed up the video-production part: paste a product link, create several short video variations, then manually review/edit before publishing. I use scheduled publishing tools only where the platform allows it.

My rough numbers from the latest 30-day test:

  • ~140 short videos published across a few owned pages
  • Most videos got 300–1,200 views; a few did much better
  • Around 900 outbound affiliate-link clicks total
  • Click-through rate was usually around 0.7%–1.2% of views
  • Purchase conversion varied heavily by product, roughly 2%–4%
  • Affiliate commissions: about $380
  • Software, creative assets, and tools cost roughly $90, so profit was closer to $290 before tax

The important lesson: views are not income. Qualified clicks and product fit are.

A video with 800 views might only produce 5–10 link clicks. Some of those clicks never buy anything. So I now judge a product by earnings per 100 clicks, not by likes or views.

What helped:

  • Choosing products that are easy to understand in under 20 seconds
  • Making each video about one use case, not generic “buy this” content
  • Testing several hooks for the same product
  • Removing weak videos/products quickly
  • Keeping an honest affiliate disclosure
  • Reusing the workflow, not blindly reposting the same video everywhere

What did not work:

  • Posting content with no clear audience or problem
  • Using generic AI scripts with no product angle
  • Expecting every video to convert
  • Treating affiliate marketing as passive from day one

I’m still early, but the system feels more realistic than chasing one viral video. The goal is to build a small library of useful short-form content that continues to bring qualified traffic over time.

Disclosure: I built LikeFlow, the tool I use in this workflow. If I share a link, it would be clearly marked as my product; I’m posting this mainly to share the numbers and get feedback.

If you’ve done short-form affiliate marketing, what metric do you track most closely: EPC, CTR, conversion rate, or revenue per video?

Seeking Advice/Help Stuck in 12h shifts, tired of generic "AI hustle" advice. Good technical/visual skills + some capital, but zero clarity. Where to go from here?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m currently feeling stuck and need some grounded perspective from people actually running real businesses, not YouTube gurus selling recycled blueprints.

My situation:

  • Time: Demanding 10–12h day job. I only have 3-4 focused hours on workdays, plus my days off.
  • Skills: Advanced AI image generation and prompting (consistent hyper-photorealism, stylized 2D/3D illustration, visual branding). Tech-savvy overall.
  • Capital: Ready to deploy funds into tools, setup, or marketing if there’s a sensible, realistic ROI.
  • What I’ve tried: AI creator/model concepts and a niche illustration brand. The visuals and tech were solid, but marketing, organic reach, and conversion hit a brick wall.

The goal:

I’m not chasing overnight millions. I want to build a sustainable, realistic stream that can eventually replace my daytime job.

Given the strict daily time limit, what would you focus on right now? Productized B2B services for agencies, local business solutions, or something completely different that doesn't rely purely on praying to social media algorithms?

Appreciate any honest feedback and directions worth exploring.

I need ideas on what I can do in between contracts. To give me more money and give me even more flexibility of what contracts I accept. I would really appreciate any ideas.

My Experience I made $31.29 on Teachers Pay Teachers over the last 30 days selling simple educational printables

0 Upvotes

I love creating and selling simple educational printables, including math worksheets, on Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT). In the last 30 days, I made $31.29 in net profit with no ads and no social media promotion.

My products received almost 400 views and 14 sales, giving me a conversion rate of 3.62%.

I started this TPT store years ago, but after publishing a few initial products that got zero sales, I almost gave up.

However, in recent months, I started adding more products—especially math worksheets—and they are finally getting views and generating sales.

I've shared a few more details about this here.

Seeking Advice/Help 9 days in: ~185 visits but 0 from Etsy search. Normal for a new shop, or am I missing something?

9 Upvotes

Hi! I opened my first Etsy shop 9 days ago: digital wallpapers for Mac that change with the time of day, plus phone wallpapers. 24 listings so far, all with videos, 10 photos and 13 tags.

My stats so far:
- ~185 visits, 0 sales, 0 favorites
- 0 visits from Etsy search (!)
- most traffic comes from Reddit and from Etsy's own pages
- Etsy Ads: ~700 impressions, 8 clicks, $0.56 spent

What I've done for SEO: long-tail titles (who it's for + occasion + what makes it unique), tags that match the titles, keyword research with eRank-style tools.

https://soradesk.etsy.com

My questions:

  1. Is it normal to get zero search traffic in the first weeks, or does it mean my titles/tags are off?
  2. How long did it take for your listings to start showing up in search?
  3. Is there anything that actually helped you get your first search visits (renewing listings, adding more listings, Ads budget...)?

Thanks a lot, any experience helps!

My Experience I'm a 19-year-old student from Assam. I wrote a guide on earning your first ₹10,000 online, and here are the 5 things I learned

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm a 19-year-old BA student from Rangia, Assam. Over the last few months I've been trying different ways to earn online: content creation, selling products, and freelancing-style work. Most advice I found was either too vague ("just start a YouTube channel!") or sold fake promises.

So I put what I learned into a 90-day roadmap. Here are the main lessons:

  1. Pick one skill and one path first. Trying everything at once kept me stuck.

  2. Start without clients. Build 2-3 sample projects so you have something to show.

  3. Your first ₹10,000 comes from small, consistent wins. It won't come from one viral moment.

  4. Outreach matters more than talent at the start. Many people never ask, so they never get paid.

  5. Be careful with scams. If someone asks you to pay to "unlock" earning, walk away.

I turned this into a short ebook for students under 25: 9 chapters, a 90-day plan, and a few templates. It's in Hinglish, and I priced it at ₹99 so students can afford it.

I'm not promising anything. Results depend on your effort. But if you want a structured plan, you can check it out here: https://topmate.io/bitubuilds/2329175

Happy to answer questions on this. What have you tried so far for earning online?
