Passive income: NO

Starting an online modular workshop hosting side hustle can lead to passive income, but it requires significant setup and ongoing management to reach that level. Costs range from setting up a website to creating quality workshop content. To make it passive, you'll need to invest in automation tools for registrations, payments, and scheduling. While some individuals have achieved passive income through this hustle, it's more common for hosts to remain actively involved in promoting, updating content, and engaging with participants. It realistically becomes passive for a few outliers who invest heavily in automation and marketing strategies. Misleading expectations include thinking passive income will come quickly without ongoing effort. Overall, while passive income is possible, it requires dedication and ongoing optimization.
