The secret to getting rich

It's one drink, what could it cost? Ten dollars?
It's a good joke
But half because the logic is so terrible. That's not passive income. It's retail
- Uses other people's money for both the product and service = "passive".
  You're not thinking enough like a grifter to grasp the "big-picture" thinking at work here.
  quotation marks = sacastic/fake in my usage, to be clear.
  
  You’re not thinking enough like a grifter
  I mean, its obviously a shit post. But I imagine spending a whole day doing fake interviews - 50 a day, five days a week, for a month - to make around $6k gross, and then tell yourself you can scale this up passively.
50-60 a day? Assuming a 7.5 h workday, or 450 minutes, that's ~8 minutes per interview, pretty hard to keep up even for fake ones
- Its also not passive if you're working for it lmao
  
  Doing 50 conversations in a day is a lot of work.
- Also on the high end, 30 people buy a drink, meeting 300$ profit? What are the sodas $20 each?
  
  $300 divided by 30 would be $10, but still, there's no fucking way anyone is going for that. The post is probably meant as satire, but they should have at least made it believable
  
  It's one soda, Michael. What could it cost? 20 dollars?
- Gotta be group interviews. Had a few of them in my time. They're shit.
This is satire right?
- The entire world is
- Almost certainly.
  
  Only almost, though.
This feels like another one of those funny jokes that someone will come along and ruin by telling me he's serious.
- This does not seem feasible and isn't passive income at all because he's actively doing stuff to make it happen.
  
  I could believe someone might call it "passive" in their head (they're not actively selling the thing, I suppose). Because having "passive income" seems to be a kind of status symbol for some people.
I mean how is that even remotely passive?
- It's "passive" because it uses his employers' time and money to generate additional off-the-books income for himself.
  Same way many land-lords mortgage their rental properties close-to insolvency. Damn straigh, "passive"=using other people's money.
  
  I doubt he's using company time if he does 50-60 interviews daily and doesn't hire anyone. No company would pay you to do that.
That's some expensive drinks too.
Branch out and rent one of those rooms for $100/day, hire an interviewer for $100/day. Rinse and repeat ad nauseam until Trillionaire.
- And how do you hire the interviewers? (see step 1)
9000$ a month won't do shit
It’s a Japanese vending machine design, and it’s half embedded into the jutting corner of that wall.
- Frankly, I wouldn't want to work in an office whose floorplan is only measured in 3 dimensions.
- Photoshopping to avoid tipping-off his employer is the closest thing to a smart decision on display here. Worthless if he's not using a pseudonym.
  Nice catch!
50-60 job interviews for a measly $300.
Sounds miserable. I’d rather flip burgers for McDonald’s
- to make 120?
  
  Imagine making yourself miserable just to make $300
