I’m not special - passive income doesn’t care
I make passive income without being irreplaceable.
James here.
A Royalty Ronin community member asked:
“If I’m only repurposing x to y and y is let’s say their newsletter, then sooner or later they’d ask themselves “why not repurpose it myself and keep 100% of y?”
So, I’d definitely have to add my special sauce to y, which makes me unique and irreplaceable for them, correct?”
Super common misconception.
…I used to think this myself once upon a time.
However
The answer is no.
You don’t have to be unique, special, or irreplaceable.
I’m certainly not.
And don’t wanna be.
Now
I’m not saying being unique can’t work.
…Or people shouldn’t play the ‘irreplaceable’ card if they have it.
I’m just saying it’s not needed.
If I thought I needed a “special sauce” to grow my passive income?
…Not sure I’d get out of bed in the morning.
Luckily
I can be plain old me.
And still stack as much passive income as I want.
Example:
Take a bowling alley…
They’ve got balls and shoes to constantly clean…
Lanes that need to be waxed…
Huge expensive machinery so we don’t have to walk down the lane, pick up our own ball, and set up our own pins…
And those machines break. (often from what I see.)
Plus there’s…
Employees
Payroll
Taxes
Etc…
A bowling alley COULD buy, stock, and service their own vending machines, on top of everything else, and keep 100%.
But
A bowling alley already has fifty-eleven things to do to keep the ship sailing.
Yes, there’s lots of ‘obvious’ ways to increase revenue…
Do they have the time, energy, money and resources to do them?
If they do…
Great. Let them.
If not…
(Most don’t)
That’s where we can help.
Those vending machines the bowling alley doesn’t own?
Someone walked in one day and said…
“I’ll give you vending machines, claw games, and coin pushers… your customers can play them in between turns/games. I’ll stock and service them, and give you a piece of what the machines make. Would you be open to trying that for a month?”
Did they have to be unique or irreplaceable to make that offer?
Nope
They just had to provide value (give the alley’s customers another fun activity - which makes the alley look like a hero, btw) and take the servicing hassle off the alley’s plate.
…Putting a few bucks in the alley owner’s pocket doesn’t hurt either.
Once the vending machines are in…
…and making even a LITTLE bit of moolah…
What’s easier for the alley owner?
Finding his own machines and adding an employee to service them?
Or keep the machines that add income without him lifting a finger?
Keeping what’s working is a safe bet, IMHO.
Authors and newsletter owners are the same way.
They’re in the business of writing.
And writing is what they want to be doing.
(Ask the guy who writes a newsletter how he knows.)
Even though they understand adding a community or tools could be a big win…
They want to focus on their writing.
Which is why we can step in …
…without being special, unique, or irreplaceable…
…create cashflowing, passive income, for them and ourselves…
…and be thanked for doing it.
Right now, we’ve got a Ronin who’s turning books into AI tools…
He’s not only being thanked for it…
He’s making 5-6 figures for himself and his author partners.
I can’t promise you 6 figure partners…
But
I can promise a WHOLE NEW WORLD opens up when you stop trying to be special and irreplaceable…
…And start offering to take things off biz owner’s plates.
You call the shots too.
Working when you want.
With who you want.
Just being yourself.
You down for that?
We’re having a blast, but it’d be even better if you were with us.
In your corner,

PS - There are 4 indicators we investors can look for to find places to put in our passive income vending machines.
DM me when you take the 7 Day Royalty Ronin Trial - I’ll send them to you.
If someone has 1?
It’s super easy to add 2 or 3 of the others and cash-flow them all.
