Passive income: NO

Earning passive income as an ordained minister is unlikely for most people. The role typically involves active participation in ceremonies like weddings, which require personal presence and engagement. While some may automate parts of the process (e.g., booking systems, pre-written scripts), the core service is not passive. Most ministers earn through active work, and only a few outliers might achieve passive income by creating scalable products like books or online courses. Myths include the belief that simply becoming ordained will lead to passive income, but this usually requires significant effort and diversification into related areas.
