By Tuhin Sarwar । Published: 13 January । 2024 । DHAKA, BANGLADESH At 4:30 AM, when most of Dhaka still sleeps, Mohammad Rahman starts his daily negotiation with an algorithm.

How People Are Building Passive Income With Simple Websites and AI
Let’s be honest: if you’ve spent any time online lately, you’ve probably seen all the loud promises about making passive income with AI. “Set it and forget it!” “Earn six figures in your sleep!” “AI will do all the work for you!” It sounds tempting — because who wouldn’t want that? But after watching real people actually doing it (and trying some parts myself), I can tell you: yes, it’s possible. But no, it’s not as easy as pushing a button. Building a strong passive income with a website and AI absolutely works — but it also takes some serious human effort, especially upfront. If you’re willing to put in a few weeks (or months) of real work at the start, you can build something that feels passive later. Here’s how people are realistically making it happen. Step 1: Starting With a Simple Website — Not Fancy, Just Functional Most people start by setting up a super basic website. Not a huge company site, not a complicated 100-page blog — just a clean, simple homepage that says, “Hey, here’s who I am, here’s what I can do for you, and here’s how to get in touch.” Platforms like WordPress, Wix, and Webflow make it crazy easy now. Templates do most of the design work. You still need to write a little bit — a headline, a short about-me, and clear descriptions of your services — but you don’t have to be a professional web designer. Realistically, you might spend a few days just playing around with your site layout before you’re happy. (Everyone does.) Most people also link their website to a payment platform like Stripe or PayPal right away — so once orders start coming in, they can get paid automatically.

Fact vs Fiction Amid Rising Tensions In early January 2026, a storm of alarm spread through European capitals and global newsrooms after statements from senior U.S. officials suggested that the United States might consider military options regarding Greenland — a semi-autonomous territory of the Kingdom of Denmark and a fellow NATO member. Sensational headlines have asked whether the United States is “attacking” Greenland or preparing to do so. The short answer, based on verified information: there has been no actual military attack on Greenland by the United States. However, diplomatic tension and rhetoric have escalated sharply, prompting serious debate about the island’s future and alliance security. �

Modern geopolitics is no longer defined solely by tanks, missiles, and troop movements. Increasingly, the most decisive battles take place in digital space.

When global geopolitics dominates headlines, the spotlight usually shines on presidents, summits, and military maneuvers.
