Suspended but Still Profitable: The Power of Passive Income Strategies

Yesterday I had a wakeup call that could have been a nightmare, but instead it turned into proof of something really powerful. My 5-month-old free Medium account, a significant case study for this channel, was suddenly suspended.

But guess what? This morning it still made $34 in passive income from the income stream that was created by that deleted account. The income stream keeps making money; in fact, it generated more than $1,100 worth of Bitcoin in the last month alone.

If Bitcoin price goes higher, this passive income value keeps going up. So stick with me in this video and I'll show you how this passive income system works. In this video, I'll break down how I built this income stream through an automated content generation. It’s an income stream that keeps making money even after the Medium account was deleted.

In just five months, I built an automated system using AI tools that creates income streams across multiple platforms—and it’s so simple, anyone can replicate it.
Want to know how?

Let me take you back five months ago when I started this free Medium account. I used Make.com Blueprints and AI tools like Perplexity and ChatGPT and Flux to create high-quality, really targeted articles.

• I generated articles on my own trading signals.

• I generated articles on new coin listings.

• And I started generating articles on about 60 different top-selling trading courses.

In October, I earned over $1,000 worth of Bitcoin as a result.

Yesterday, that account was suspended. It is a blow, yes, but it’s not a fatal one because it proves that the system that I created creates income independent of the platform that you’re writing on.

This account suspension highlights something even more critical: the power of these automations to create a passive income stream so quickly. So let’s jump in and take a look at how this system ticks so that you can replicate it.

There were three main automation blueprints that created this income stream.

1. The first automation created an article from my own crypto trading signals. And I would love to say that this is the biggest money-making driver, but it’s probably not, and I’ll show you why.

2. The second creates an article for every new coin listing on Bitget.

3. And the third automation was creating articles about the top-selling trading courses online.

The article that actually got my account banned was when I was reporting on the earnings I made as a result of having my Medium account—kind of a catch-22.

Passive Income Paid Bitcoin

But I’m still super excited because if this strategy works on a Medium profile that had less than 50 followers, then the same system will work publishing on any different platform. And the reason is the final automation that brought everything together is the automation that shares your blog posts out onto the social media.

My Twitter account and my Facebook account and my LinkedIn account and my YouTube account and my Reddit account—they’re all still in good standing. And I can use them as a way to focus traffic onto my new articles no matter where they’re published.

But let’s get back to the automation that made the most money.

I would have to say that the Webhook Gold Mine video that I created a couple months ago is the biggest driver for the past passive income that I’m reporting here today.

To my thinking, these are probably what referred people to go through and start trading over on the platform Bitget.

But the other angle was that every article I wrote had a big focus on copy trading, and it would lead off to another article that detailed how copy trading worked on Bitget.

Which Income Stream Is Most Important?

When we’re choosing to create a new income stream, we want to find a platform that’s going to pay us for as long as the client is using their platform.

We want to use the platform ourselves and then write a journey of everything that we did using that product. Anything that we can help people to solve, any problems they might have, or benefits they might get from that platform. And that’ll naturally lead people who will go through our referral link and join the platform. And because they are interested in the platform, they’re likely to stick around and use that platform for a long time, which turns into a long-term revenue stream for us.

I recommend that you consider a number of different revenue streams for every content piece you put out.

In this part of the video, we’ll get into the money-making strategies because no matter which platform the content is on, it’s the same strategy. So I am put back a little bit because of this account being deleted. Now I have to go and redo the work that I did a couple weeks ago.

The good thing is I have it all in a spreadsheet and I can use the automation to get the information out of the spreadsheet and create an article from it. So here I have a spreadsheet of all of the businesses on that are—let’s go see—all of the business on the Whop marketplace, and I narrowed down for this one into the trading category. There’s 2,900 different stores. And from here, I narrowed it down to the 76 verified stores on Whop, and I put them all into a spreadsheet.

Then I created an automation that takes the information about that business, creates an image, writes a story about that product, and then creates a blog post.

I was publishing those posts onto Medium. But now I’ve just taken an old domain name that I have and I created a WordPress website, and I’m posting the articles here. While posting about all of these different top-rated stores that are talking about trading is going to be a revenue stream in the future, this is one of the experiments.

The big revenue stream that made the money so far was talking about copy trading. I’m always one for talking about the do-and-show model.

I want to do the strategy and then I want to show you the results. So before we go onto the copy trading in the next video, I’ll give you a quick look inside those earnings.

Here we have the rebate rewards down along the side here, and you can see them day by day as they’re coming through.

And here we are with the total right now: 1,171,000 satoshi in Bitcoin.

I’ll keep you updated on how this goes day by day.

But for this video, I want to go through how the automation works for writing articles to promote different vendors on Whop.

So here I am running the automation right now.

It’s grabbed the next available store from the spreadsheet. It’s gone and created an image command, and we can see what that is—create a realistic image of a young professional trader confidently analyzing stock charts on multiple screens. It saves the image onto Google Drive. And then here’s where the magic happens. It writes a story about all of the information about this product.

Finally, the image will be uploaded to the WordPress website, and a blog post will be created here. And again, all of the data that we create through these flows is all saved in the spreadsheet so that you can use it again later. So let’s go into the website admin and refresh this, and we see that we have a draft article in place. My job now is to go through and edit to be sure everything lines up nicely. And for this specific post, I also created one of my first AI video shorts to go along with it. So I’ll embed that into the post.

I always want to embed it so that the referral link is just above the video content, just so that the person’s eye is busy, they may click on the link. And there we have it—the new post is live. "How to Transform Your Trading with Stock Hours Today."

And now the final step is to share these new articles on the social media. And to do that, I’m just going to see if I can get away with changing the base RSS feed and fire it off and see what happens.

So the base RSS feed for this website, so I’ll go into this, and I’ll just change it. Instead of going from that publication on Medium, we’ll go from this one. I’ll select where to start, we’ll grab that last article, and fire it off. Let’s see what it does.

Ready to level up your trading game? Let’s go to Bitget Copy Trader. And there we are.

So we had the first automation create the article, and then we had the second automation share the article onto the various social platforms. I got to see what’s going on with Twitter—it’s always pernicky, that one—it never works easy.

And that wraps it up for this video today,
