Today’s episode is the final chapter in my revamped, three-part series on getting started with your own passive income business.

Part One brought you the basics, exploring what to put in place before creating your business. Part Two walked you through building an audience once you’ve laid your foundation and a few different models for generating passive income. In Part Three, I’ll explore even more passive income business models that will help you break free from trading your time for money.

I’ll explore how to get started with membership sites, software, and productizing other freelance services. Each of these passive income models allows you to put in time up front, reap long-term profit, and experience the flexibility and freedom that makes the passive income lifestyle so incredible.

No matter what approach you choose for your online business, I hope this series inspires you to take the plunge!
