Or you can increase the transactions per customer. You don't have to have more projects/clients to make more money. There are only so many projects you'll be able to work on.

I agree with you on some points, it's a lot of work to earn passive income and during my first year trying to earn passive income on the side I lost money and incurred in a debt of around 50K USD... but last month I finally got the hang of it, and after putting 30 hours a week after my fulltime job during my first year of trial and error, last month I grossed 10K merely working about 10 hours a week after my fulltime job...

First you have to find a niche. If your product/book/website/blog/whatever is the only one out there, it's a red flag because it might mean that there's no need for whatever you offer.
A product will never create a need, you create a product out of people's need.
Try to look for something that already exists, and you know you can make it better, and pitch whatever you built to the your competitors dissatisfied users, and there you go, you have an audience.
Then you can start looking into metrics/analytics and finally into SEO.
