Passive income will set you financially free.

Yet 99% of people don't know how to start...

Here are the 10 best options for 2025:

1. Laundromats
A timeless passive income business.

Clean clothes are always in demand

• Set up machines
• Automate processes
• Enjoy steady cash flow
2. Ice machines

Place ice vending machines in high-traffic areas and watch the quarters add up.

• Low-maintenance
• Perfect for hot climates
• Great for busy locations
3. Credit Card Machines

Earn a percentage of every transaction with credit card processing terminals.

Small cuts from every transaction add up quickly.
4. Vending Machines

You can sell things like:

• Drinks
• Snacks
• Niche items

Place them in high-traffic areas

& you have yourself a business that brings in consistent cash flow with minimal maintenance

I personally have 50+ machines that generate $25,000/month profit.
5. Airbnb

Short-term rentals are a cash cow with the right property.

• Buy in a great location
• List it on Airbnb
• Let the bookings roll in
6. Faceless YouTube Channels

You don’t need to be on camera to make money.

• Outsource videos
• Focus on trending topics like finance or health
• Earn ad revenue while you sleep

An introvert’s dream.
7. Self-Serve Car Wash

People pay to wash their cars, and you collect the cash.

The benefits?

1) Low overhead
2) Steady demand

Definitely worth checking out.
8. Amazon KDP

Self-publish books with low upfront costs.

• Fiction
• Non-fiction
• Low-content books like journals

& simply stack up royalties over time.
9. Micromarkets

Unattended mini convenience stores with higher profit margins than vending machines.

• Great for gyms
• Ideal for offices
• Perfect for apartment complexes

This is still incredibly underrated.

I own 4 of these...

One of them makes $15,000+/month.
10. Storage Facilities

People will always need extra space for their stuff.

All you have to do is provide storage…

& you can enjoy your low-maintenance, scalable income

The future of passive income:

Micromarkets.

• 0 employees
• High profit margins
• Unlimited earning potential

One of mine made $22,000 in 30 days.

Here's a full breakdown of everything you need to know (& how to place your own): Image
I have 4 Micromarkets.

They’re basically a larger vending machine.

Instead of 1 regular machine...

They have multiple shelves & coolers.

This means instead of just chips & soda, you can stock:

• Salads
• Smoothies
• Sandwiches

& make a lot more money.

Here’s how:
1. Find a location.

Micromarkets are in high demand right now.

I’ve placed 4 myself & have helped countless others place their own.

You want to target locations that have high foot traffic.

Places like:

• Office buildings
• Apartment complexes
• Manufacturing facilities

The ultimate recession-proof business:

Smart Coolers & Micromarkets.

• Open 24/7
• 0 Employees
• Sells food, drinks, & necessities

I own 50 of these & make $25k/month profit.

Here's exactly how you can start your own: Image

1. What is a Micromarket?

Think vending machine meets convenience store.

Micromarkets are:

• Unattended retail spaces
• Self-checkout systems
• Stocked with products people need daily

They're perfect for apartments, offices, gyms, and hospitals.
2. Why They're Recession-Proof

People always need food & drinks.

In economic downturns, they actually perform better because:

• Open 24/7 = maximum revenue potential
• No employees = no payroll concerns
• Small footprint = low overhead costs

Regardless of the economy, people still need to eat & drink.

This vending machine makes me $1,200/month.

But instead of me splitting profits with the owner...

He actually pays me to have my machine at the location.

I wasn't going to reveal this strategy…

But here it is:

🧵 Image
Here's the breakdown:

• Revenue: $1,200/month
• Cost of Goods: $360
• Software & transaction fees: $120
• Operator: $120
• Profit: $600/month.

I don't pay rent or split profits with the owner.

In fact…
He pays me an extra 50% for every unit sold.

Instead of charging employees full price…

He covers 50% of the cost so they can get drinks at half price.

For example:

If a Monster costs $4, the employees pay $2.

Then the owner pays me the remaining $2.

There are 2 fundamentally different types of happiness:

1. Hedonic (pleasure)
2. Eudaimonic (meaning)

Most people chase the wrong one…

& it costs them everything.

Understanding the difference will transform your approach to life: 🧵 Image
You can see this paradox everywhere:

• The millionaire who's deeply depressed
• The celebrity who struggles with addiction
• The social media star who feels completely empty

Why is this?

They’ve chased hedonic happiness while neglecting eudaimonic fulfillment.

Let me explain…
1. Hedonic happiness is about immediate pleasure.

It's things like:

• A great meal
• A new purchase
• A weekend getaway

It feels good in the moment, but it fades quickly, & you're left wanting more.

This is Michael Jordan.

His Nike shoe deal makes him $400,000,000/year in passive income.

I'm no NBA legend...

But I make $300,000+/year passively.

Here's how I did it as a normal guy: Image
1. I Started With One Vending Machine

I bought my first vending machine and placed it in an apartment complex lobby.

• I financed it with $0 down payment
• I stocked it with snacks, energy drinks, and water

That first machine started generating profit from day one. Image
2. I Reinvested The Profits

Instead of spending the money, I saved every dollar.

I used the profit to buy another machine.

Then another.

And another.

I kept stacking machines until I had a small route.

It didn't happen overnight, but persistence was key. Image
