What is Passive Income?
Passive income is money that you earn with minimal ongoing effort. It’s not exactly “free” money, because you usually have to invest a fair amount of time and effort setting everything up beforehand. However, once everything’s in place, you’ll make money without needing to put in much extra work.
I have experience with several of the following sources of passive income, including affiliate marketing, running ads on my website, and selling photography. I also know other people who have made good money from most of the other kinds of passive income mentioned below.
1. Affiliate Marketing
One of the most popular ways of generating passive income is through affiliate marketing. Essentially, you promote products or services in exchange for a commission. You can do it in a few different ways, including on your blog or website, social media channels, or via your mailing list.
Affiliate marketing is one of my favorite ways of making money passively. It’s how I generate the majority of my income from my own blog and it can be very lucrative, depending on which products and services you are promoting and the size of your audience.
