I mean as in don't do anything to destroy it, a mistake can ruin years of effort.
Effort to think about doing what's right vs. what's wrong. making the right decision, especially long term takes effort.
Also, in this post, I want to talk about something tangible, product-wise.
This is not what I am asking. I am trying to say the people/marketers who put this idea out there"create once and sell" is making up a lie that you don't need to do the ongoing work.
I understand your point about the evergreen "do this and you make 20 grand passive income per month" internet marketing scammers that sell you their vid for $80 and then you still know nothing. The very act of having to make a new vids every week proves that the passive income scam is a lie.
But I also misunderstand your problem with either "selling your own integrity" as something you can sell twice (but not passively), or "receiving royalties from your patent/music/artwork/book" as a fully automated means of income.
The very act of having to make a new vids every week proves that the passive income scam is a lie.
yup.
What I understand about integrity is that once people know you're honest and make good products, they'll keep coming back. Also, I don't really believe that's actually passive income; it's really a matter of upfront work with low-maintenance work. Yet the internet is full of scams like that; I think once a person "retires" or loses the drive to do something, they easily die.
But it also requires ongoing maintenance.
