Passive income will set you financially free.

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

Here are the 8 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 100+ machines that generate $65,000/month profit.
5. 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.
6. Amazon KDP

Self-publish books with low upfront costs.

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

& simply stack up royalties over time.
7.. 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 $22,000+/month.
8. 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

I just had my 3rd kid.

& while at home taking care of it, my vending machines will still make me $65,000+/month profit.

Here's why vending is the greatest business model for parents: Image
Every parent faces the same impossible choice:

Miss your kids growing up to build wealth.

Or be present and struggle financially.

I found option 3…
My vending empire runs 24/7 without me.

100+ machines across 4 states.
$65k/month profit.
8 hours of "work" per week.

The rest is family time.

I grew my vending machine business from 0 to 100+ machines in 5 years.

If I had to start over & wanted to do it again…

Here's exactly how I'd do it (Bookmark This): Image
Image
1. Find a location in my city.

I’d google the following locations within 30 minutes of me:

• Apartment complexes
• College/University campuses
• Businesses with 100+ employees

& make a list of each one's email/phone numbers.

After I make my list, I’d move on to step 2:
2. Call/Email my list.

Ideally, I’ll have a list of 50-100 locations from step 1.

I’d start calling and/or emailing each location.

I’ll simply introduce myself & ask 3 questions:

You don't need $10K to start a vending business.

You can finance a machine for $0 down, place it in high-traffic locations, and profit $1,000+/month within the first 90 days.

Here's how: 🧵
Step 1: Find the right location first

Don't buy a machine and hope to find a spot.

Look for places with full parking lots:

• Apartment complexes with 100+ units
• Office buildings with multiple tenants
• Gyms that are busy all day
• Medical offices with constant foot traffic
Step 2: Position it as an amenity upgrade

Walk into the property and ask:

"Do your residents/employees have to leave the building late at night just to grab a snack or drink?"

9 times out of 10, they'll say yes.

That's your pain point to solve.

Joe Rogan just sat down with the world's top AI safety researcher and professor:

Dr. Roman Yampolskiy

What he revealed about artificial intelligence will change how you think about our future…

Here are 8 insights that every person should understand about AI: Image
1. We're in Uncharted Territory (And Moving Fast)

"Right now the large AI labs are running this experiment on 8 billion people."

Think about the timeline:

• For 50 years, experts said AI was "20 years away"
• Then GPT launched and suddenly everyone thinks it's 2-3 years away
• We went from impossible to inevitable in months

The speed of change is unprecedented in human history.
2. AI Is Already Better at Deception Than We Realize

ChatGPT can pass the Turing test, but companies program it not to.

"Usually labs instruct them not to participate in a test or not try to pretend to be a human."

Why? Because they think it's unethical to fool humans.

But here's the insight: if it can choose NOT to deceive us, it's already choosing TO deceive us about its capabilities.

The #s behind my vending machine business:

• 102 machines
• $100k/month revenue
• $65,000/month in profit

& I started 5 years ago with 0 experience.

Here's the exact system I used: Image
Step 1: Find the right locations.

I don't chase flashy spots. I look for one thing: full parking lots.

If the parking lot's full, there's foot traffic. And foot traffic equals sales.

My best performers are in places most people overlook:

• Manufacturing plants
• Medical office buildings
• Apartment complexes
• Employee break rooms
Step 2: Lead with value, not revenue share.

90% of my locations don't pay me a dime in rent.

Here's why:

I position my machines as luxury amenities, not vending machines.

When I walk into that office building, I'm solving a problem:

"Your employees are spending 30 minutes driving to get a $5 sandwich. What if they could grab one downstairs in 30 seconds?"
