What is passive income?
Passive income describes income that is generated without continuing work. It takes effort to get the ball rolling, but then the income continues without much effort. Remember it takes effort at the beginning and sometimes its not easy but after it start it just continues to bring in money.
What’s the catch?
Sounds great right? Well You need either effort or money to begin generating passive income. To set up affiliate advertising (one form of passive income) you’ll need a blog or online platform. Creating that platform takes effort.
Developing a digital product is a great way to generate passive income. However, that product must first be created and marketed before a single dollar ever reaches your bank account. That process takes time and effort.
Here are a few ways to make a passive income
Affiliate Marketing
This is a passive income technique that works well for people with blogs and YouTube channels. You can recommend products that you have used but it is crucial to only recommend products you are passionate about and every time you made a sale, you’ll get a flat amount of money or a percentage of the sale price. This is a great way to start earning money immediately.
One of the most common places people use for affiliate marketing is amazon. You can start using amazon with littile to no work. After you get set up you even start recommending on your facebook or Instagram account.
Start a Blog
This is my favorite way of making passive income. Blogging is not 100% passive but it works very well in the long term. It does start as a lot of work but a blog that has a good advertisement can make money for many years to come. The best thing is that you can combine many ways of making passive income in a blog; selling courses, affiliate income, advertisements, sponsored content, etc. It’s crazy the number of doors that open when you have a blog.
Create an Online Course
Is there anything your passionate about? Are you at good at it? Well then start online course. You may have a way of teaching that no one else gets.
There are plenty of people making thousands of dollars every month from online courses. Michelle, from Making Sense of Cents, made $434,698+ from one online course.
Tanner j fox made 220,000 dollars this year off his amazon affiliate training course.
Once you create an online course, it can work on autopilot while you sleep.The content of the course can be video lessons, plain text, worksheets, printables or a small ebook.
YouTube Channel
Can you cook? Play the guitar? Use Photoshop like a pro? Whatever your talent, you can record yourself or your computer screen and turn those videos into a passive income YouTube channel.
Granted, it takes time to develop a following. But if you focus on quality content, your audience will follow. Screencast software, like camtasia, can help you create professional tutorials for anything computer related whether it’s a how-to video for setting up a website or a step-by-step guide to mastering Photoshop.
This does need a start up cost to get a laptop and a decent camera. Youtube is a rare case where quality and quantity is important . you can put out a bunch of crappy videos and no one will watch it. But if you put out 1 video of great quality ones every few months then you soon will be forgotten.
Youtube has a great potential for making thousands of dollars a month.
YouTube Partner Program
Because you can use affiliate marketing and advertisements to monetize your YouTube Channel, that can translate into some pretty impressive passive income month after month — all for recording a video once but getting paid over and over again. A video made a year ago, can still earn impressive revenue today!
Amazon associate
Recommend products on Amazon and earn a commission on each sale. There are also special bounties that pay a flat-rate for each conversion, i.e., someone signs up for a Prime membership trial using your link and you earn $5.With millions of products to choose from, you can use Amazon Associates program to monetize just about any blog. Your earnings are paid out once monthly.
Google adsense
Google Adsense is one of the most popular platforms to display ads on websites. Ads are customizable so they never overwhelm your blog’s content. And the analytics are great in helping to optimize ad placement so you can make adjustment to help increase your passive income earnings!
Refer a friend
We all use some type of service or use some item. And we all have friends or family or workmates we can share things with. So basically refer a friend is you make money for using a service and telling others how great it is. Most of the times, you’ll get a unique link that you can share with friends directly or throughout social media. Whenever anybody clicks your link and signs up and/or makes a purchase, you’ll get a bonus. The bonus can be in the form of cold hard cash or an account credit. Your cell phone provider, apps you use, online retailers, and even your bank may have a referral program.
Try investing in club
This is one of the more risky passive income because you have to use the money you already have.provides the opportunity to get interests rates of more than 10% per year. This is amazingly higher than what you will earn on more conventional interest-based bank investments (typically 1%).It’s important for you to know that these high rates do come at a cost. These loans can go bad and you can lose part of your money. However, there are ways to minimize those risks. The smallest amount you can invest in a single loan is $25, so you can actually buy into 80 different loans with a $2,000 deposit. By doing this, you will minimize the risks in case that any of the loans start going bad.
Sell your photos
If you have a special eye for photography and don’t have time to go full time here a few places that you can sell your photos. You can sell them via websites like iStockPhoto or Shutter Stock to make passive income. These can just sit there and anytime that a company needs a photo they could be using yours and you’ll get a dividend for when you sell.
Write an e-book
Do you have a special talent for writing? How about take a shot at writing an e-book. S.J. Scott a prolific author earns mid-six figures a year publishing Kindle eBooks. You can even hire out the hard writing parts and publish the book yourself.
Build an App
Build a smartphone app and sell it in the iPhone or Android App Stores. If you don’t know how to program, you can teach yourself or give up equity to a developer.
