Generate income through options

Thanks
I don't want to give away my 'banker' trades but I post trade ideas each week- having had a few losses since the Brexit debacle as I stpeed back and carried on proposing trades on the site that I'm not happy with. I took loss this week as the market went nowhere.
 
There is a blog that explains about having income through options writing: https://earlyretirementnow.com/2016/09/28/passive-income-through-option-writing-part1/
Don't believe it, there is no free lunch, at least not here in the US. They are selling subscriptions.

Both the buy-write and put-write indices are returns without commissions and bid/ask spreads. They barely beat buy and hold the SP500.

So a retail like me, after commissions and bid/ask, will do worse than buy and hold the SP500. How do I know? Been there done that.

Of course markets that are less efficient will be different.
