What strategies have you used to create automated income streams?

Hi everyone! I'm in the early stages of building passive income streams and I'm thinking about the best ways to automate them for a long-term, stable flow of money without needing to put in a lot of active work every day.

I've heard a lot about different methods that can help make income streams more automated, but I'm curious about your experiences.

What tools or platforms have been most effective for keeping the business running without having to be there every day?

What have been the biggest challenges in creating an automated income stream, and how did you overcome them?

I'd really appreciate hearing about your journeys and tips for building something that can generate passive income over the long term!

Thanks in advance!
