Minimalist Steps Towards Passive Income
- idlewords 17y ago10, Maximalize the number of posts shilling your minimalist book, website, coffee mug, seminar, etc.
- ojbyrne 17y agoSure sounds like a lot of (non-passive) work.
- coconutrandom 17y agoLet me absolutely clear: you can’t take this path if you’re lazy.
- ojbyrne 17y agoAnd my point was - it's not passive income.
- swombat 17y agoNot a very interesting post... curious what people are finding of interest in here? Seems like the same old stuff re-hashed, with a "minimalist" label slapped on top.
- giles_goat_boy 17y agoIt's a gentrified four-hour work-week.
- padmanabhan01 17y agoI do like the concept of minimalism, but there is just way too much BS going on in the name of 'minimalism' these days. Trivia: //"I’m now the author of an e-book. It’s the Art of Being Minimalist. It’s only 9.95." In the spirit of minimalism, why not make it 10$ instead of 9.95 ?
- pyre 17y agoBecause that would be maximizing the price!

- spitfire 17y ago"minimalism" is the current trendy fashion accessory these days. Sort of like being "eco". The more and more you talk about how minimal you are, the cooler you are. Of course it's all just bloggers trying to get views. A guide to minimalism would be simply "Minimalism is what is necessary.".
- lurkinggrue 17y agoTime to start an eco-minimalism movement.
- spitfire 17y agoToo late!! But it's not too late to jump on the bandwagon. ecominimalism.com is a squated domain, go forth and spread the smarmy, holier-than-thou love!dict http://www.ribabookshops.com/item/ecominimalism-eco-minimalism-the-antidote-to-eco-bling/65488/ http://www.ribabookshops.com/item/ecominimalism-eco-minimali...
- lurkinggrue 17y agoSighs Ok..time for the neo-eco-holistic-minimalism movement.
- shalmanese 17y agoI'm sick of all this talk of "scalable incomes" that refuse to confront the inherent survivor bias problem. The problem with scalable incomes is that they scale down as well as up. Say you found a system that has a 1% chance of making you $100,000 a year and a 99% chance of making $5 a year. For the average person, that's a pretty shitty deal since it's only got an expected value of $1000 a year. But sell the system to 1000 people and you can find 10 who enthusiastically talk about the wonders of scalable income and ponder wisely about the various choices they made that got them to where they are today and how everyone should join them in the wonderful scalable utopia. It's all bullshit, without accounting for the hidden failures, it's impossible to determine how much pure luck played a role.
