The passive income experiment.
Everyone online "makes $10k a month with AI." We made €0 — and here's exactly why. Real money, shown even when it's zero, sat next to the attention we've actually earned. No screenshots, no funnels, no "secret method."
Attention vs money
Different units — one's attention, the other's euros — so this isn't a shared scale. The contrast is the point: the interest is real, the revenue is still zero.
Income streams (real money)
total €0Running costs
total —What it takes to run the experiment. We spend real money to make €0 — almost all of it the Claude Max subscription.
Income by source
by typeThe split, when the money starts. Today it's €0 — this fills in as revenue arrives.
Attention by book
book viewsWhich volume pulls the eyes.
Book views = Payhip product views per volume; the store-wide counter is higher, the gap is the store page. Manual.

❓ How many of those are even human?
We genuinely don't know. Every counter — Umami, Vercel, Payhip — includes bots dressed up as browsers, and nobody hands you a clean "real humans" number. We'd rather admit that than invent one.
Money out vs money in
since Mar 18, '26The whole experiment in two lines: what running it costs, month after month, against what it brings in. The gap between them is what honesty looks like. The day the lines cross is break-even — that's the finish line we're chasing.

Costs are the cumulative total spread evenly since day one — we track totals, not receipts-by-date. Revenue is flat at €0: real, not a placeholder. Trading has been on real money since 17 July 2026, but it is deliberately small and has banked nothing yet — and now that it is real, the money-in line can also go down.
