Like if I upload gameplay videos to youtube and I hit the threshold to make money but don't change my behavior at all does that count? Yes. Click button and make my 10$ a month passively. Does accepting a neighbors offer to mow their lawn one time for 20$ stop the money? Yes. What about if you inherit something that brings passive income without you doing anything? Need an example. Does normal Ebay selling count like selling off some old trading cards you found in the attic or just doing so regularly or effectively as a job? Yes.
