About this listen
Cut through the scams and false promises in income strategies and investing books!
You've seen the investing book titles. They start with, "How to Make Money" and end with some ridiculous promise of a six-figure income or the words, "from home".
Search for "How to make money with passive income" in Google and you're blasted by more than seven million results. You can practically hear the swindlers screaming out at you from the screen.
Making money on your investments is a powerful draw and ripe for all kinds of scams, scoundrels, and shysters.
But in the fiction, there's a little truth to be found. The truth that more than a few people have built massive success stories through the four most popular investing strategies. The truth that many of the strategies can be started in your spare time and require little cash to get started.
This book is about that truth.
How to Make Money from Four Income Strategies
The Passive Income Myth is your opportunity to cut through the BS and scams to see how to make money in four passive income strategies. Over more than two decades as an investor and an investment analyst, I have made money in each of the four investing strategies. Knowing what I have picked up over the last 20 years will save you years of time and will keep you from making the biggest mistakes in passive income investments.
Each income strategy can be listened to separately or as a part of a complete wealth management system to make money and put together true passive investing income potential.

No matter how great you are at finding real estate deals, you could lose everything if you don’t manage your properties correctly. However, being a landlord doesn’t have to mean middle-of-the-night phone calls, costly evictions, or daily frustrations with ungrateful tenants. Being a landlord can be fun - but only if you do it right!

Simplified investment options
The author simplifies the complexities of understanding passive investment income options with risk and benefits associated. In a clear voice and steps (I love it when the author narrates their own audio!), helps you kick start or re-examine options that fit, and do not fit, your short term and long term needs. Great job Joseph Hogue! Thank you!!

Very helpful in the passive income world.
This is a really good title in the works of passive income. I have been working on developing a more passive income base lifestyle and this book really helped that. It is helpful in the fact that it covers the myths and assumptions that are connected to passive income. Very honest information in here and I wish I would have read it a little sooner.
