1. Flipping Domains 💻

What it is: Buying website names cheap and sell them for more money.

Why it's lazy: Once you buy domains, you just wait for buyers to contact you.

• I use sites like GoDaddy or Namecheap to find cheap domains ($1-$10)

• Look for short names, common words, or trending topics

• Use Instant Domain Search tool to see if your domain is available

• List your domains on Afternic or Sedo for sale

• Use your smartphone or camera to take high-resolution photos

• Focus on popular topics: food, nature, people working, holidays

• Upload to Unsplash, Adobe Stock, and Getty Images

• Define the image setting clearly to increase search results

• Take 100’s of photos per week to build your collection

3. Affiliate Marketing 🛍️

What it is: Promote other people's products and earn money when people buy through your link.
