You've seen the book titles. They start with, "How to," and end with some ridiculous promise of a six-figure income or the word, "from home." Search for 'How to make passive income' in Google and you're blasted by more than seven million results. You can practically feel the swindlers screaming out at you from the screen. Making money on your investments is a powerful draw and ripe for all kinds of scams, scoundrels and shysters. But in the fiction, there's a little truth to be found. The truth that more than a few people have built massive success stories through the four most popular strategies. The truth that many of the strategies can be started in your spare time and require little cash to get started. This book is about that truth. The Passive Income Myth is your opportunity to cut through the B.S. and scams to see how money really can be made in four passive income strategies. I have been involved in every strategy described. Knowing what I have picked up over the last twenty years will save you years of time learning and mistakes made. Each strategy can be read separately or as a part of a complete system to put together true passive income potential.
