Show Notes

I'm a little nervous and scared about this new podcast. I'm going to get personal, and that can be scary. But I want to share these things to help you! I believe that I can help you and I'm really looking forward to it. We're going to be talking about how to make passive income. I have three main reasons why I want to do this: Empower educators to take control of their lives and livelihoods. Talk about something people rarely talk about and make it easier for people to ask questions Show how it can be done, starting with just $200. My first thing that I did was just $200. Honestly, you could even start with nothing. That's very possible. But I started utilizing a strategy called Covered Calls in the stock market, because there was very little risk. Not zero risk, but very little. Learn more about that by taking my course for FREE here. So, let's dig into my passive income for month 1 (May 2022) I invested $400 and earned $51.42 in passive income through dividends and premiums on covered calls. I reinvested the bonus money to keep building up my nest egg. I want to hear from you! Shoot me an email with your thoughts at jethro at mybonusmoney dot com. Looking forward to hearing your stories and your success as well.

Total passive income for Month of May 2023: $1,875.15 Total money invested so far: $16,272 Total passive income for 2022: $3,318.62 total Monthly rate of return: 11.52% Yearly cumulative rate of return: 20.39% Welcome to the My Bonus Money podcast, where I discuss how educators can make side hustle money. Today, I'll report on my passive income for May 2023 and share my new investment strategy using tips from mybonusoptions.com. In May 2023, I earned $1,875.15 in passive income with a total investment of $16,272 so far this year. My monthly rate of return was 11.52%, while my yearly return reached 20.39%. My current strategy involves following trade ideas provided by mybonusoptions.com to better understand investing and improve results. Not every tip works out as expected but learning is the goal here. For example, I tried an AMC long put trade idea which you can find in the show notes for this episode (not financial advice). The concept behind this strategy is creating a long put on AMC with a $6 strike price to potentially profit from a decrease in stock price while managing risk through setting stop losses. After purchasing and later selling the options contract at different prices ($1.01 when bought; $1.14 when sold), I achieved a return of 12.87% on the investment despite some losses along the way.
