Do you want to make money online? Want to find out how you can do it while working full-time? Are you REALLY serious about taking control of your future by developing a financial freedom plan?

It's time to punch fear in the face! You spent your entire life learning about active income. You were taught to go to school, get good grades, go to college and get a good job and retire. Now that you know about passive Income streams it's time to do something different. Create a new path for your family and generations. What are you doing to create one?

Building a passive income stream can prove to be even more difficult if you work full-time, have a spouse, in a relationship, are in college or have children. In order to grow a passive income stream you must be willing to swim upstream when everyone else is swimming down. You must learn how to manage your time and be able to keep working when the passion runs out. How will you do that?

This book was written with the beginner in mind and was written for the part-time entrepreneur that wants to grow a passive income stream yet does not have an enormous amount of resources available due to work and limited time. These are very simple steps that anyone can use to grow a passive income stream and I include a few ways to start a passive income stream too.

In life, we are all looking for a roadmap and Montina "Sparkwisdom" Portis has done that just for you. She started her first passive income stream, an information product, Dec. 2012 and within 10 months had enough to pay all of her household bills and replaced her full-time corporate income. She now has over 20 courses published online and over 5000 students enrolled and did it all while working full-time. This book will teach you exactly how she did it so that you, too, can learn how to make money and grow your passive income streams. Montina provides 20 steps in a simple step-by-step plan that will show you exactly how she grew her passive income streams to dozens of information products, published books and 25,000 followers online.

Good book

This was an educational book, but I would invest in a better microphone or mouthwash that keeps your mouth from making that sticking sound.

awesome book

awesome break down of the steps you should take to generate income online. definitely a great resource for those trying to get an overview.

Good effort

Would you consider the audio edition of How to Grow a Passive Income in 20 Simple Steps to be better than the print version?

Have not read the print version. However, I could sense Montina's enthusiasm in the audio version.

What other book might you compare How to Grow a Passive Income in 20 Simple Steps to and why?

NA

Have you listened to any of Montina "Sparkwisdom" Portis’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes. As I said, you could feel her excitement and commonality. That made listening to her thoughts feel like a conversation with a friend as opposed to an audiobook.

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed Montina's perspective. I also enjoyed hearing her success story. I thought another reviewer was a little vague by saying she was confused...however, I never really heard what the "20 steps" were. Thereby, the organization needs a little work. That said, her "positive message" and good intentions were clear and I liked her take.

Not what I thought is would be

I was looking for a book to help provide ways to make passive income online. Instead this book is about inspiration and how to be an entreprenuer. It seemed that most of the content was fluffed buy a lot of storytelling and many characteristics of successful people which I have learned in other audio books.
There were very few examples of where to go online to begin selling your ideas, videos, books, etc. I am an architect and website designer. I have my ideas for training videos and the sorts, which I think can bring me a passive income, but this book fails to really dig in on where I should market these videos besides YouTube.
This book seemed more like a repository of "where to go to get your answers", "go red these books, it will help you", and "how you should grow yourself with these inspirational quotes", rather than giving the answers or providing "secrets to online passive income".
If you need data, different ideas, and firm directions in making passive income online, this book is not for you. If you are an extreme novice, and need some inspiration to actually get up and do some work, and learn how to grow yourself in an entrepreneurial spirit, then this book may help you.

good starter

a good starting point. I especially like the book suggestions. Feels like an outline starter kit for passive income dreams.

Many resources

There were so many different resources given by the author, including her own, that I feel like I have to do a lot more research to learn what I need to know. My head is spinning worse that before I listened to the book. The 20 steps were somewhere inside a flurry of references to websites, books, podcasts, videos, etc. I will have to listen again to separate the steps. I just feel overwhelmed now.

Garbage waste of time

Garbage she takes a bunch of chapters to talk about a bunch of info that has nothing to do with the subject.

Inaccessable and unactionable

The advice in this book is too generalized and the book is embelished with sound-effects.
