Passive income: NO

Earning passive income as a resume writer is challenging because the work is inherently service-based and requires personal input. To make it passive, one would need to create a system where others do the writing, such as hiring and training a team of writers, and then managing the business. Automation tools can help with client management and marketing, but the core service still needs human touch. Most people don't reach passive income levels; it's usually a few who scale up successfully. Many believe they can automate the entire process, but quality often suffers without oversight. Passive income is more realistic for those who can build a brand and delegate effectively, but not for solo writers who handle everything themselves.
