You can earn as much or as little passive income as you want. However, it is not a get-rich-quick scheme. You will need to put in the time, the initial effort, and some time invest some capital to create a passive income source.

The beauty of it, is that doing the right things early on will allow you to sit back and enjoy the financial rewards for years to come.

With high recurring income, you can make enough money to live off of or have the freedom to do anything you ever wanted.

1. Start An Online Store or Print-On-Demand Business

With platforms like Shopify, Wix, BigCommerce, Etsy, and others provides you with the the storefront and all you need to do is to find a supplier or dropshipper to fulfill the products that you plan to sell.

Another amazing online business is the is the Print-On-Demand type of service. Which basically is the sale of creative art or graphics that are printed on T-shirts, cups, bags, stickers, clothing, or anything that can be printed on. This type of business is great if you are the creative/artist kind of person and if selling normal products is not quite your thing. A good platform to get started would be Printify.

2. Real Estate Investment
One of the oldest and most conservative way of earning passive income. In order to earn a passive income from this type of investment, it will require a huge amount of capital upfront to acquire the property or land. Whether is a multi unit building, a house, or plain piece of land; collecting rental income of the asset is an amazing way to earn passive income.

Not only will you receive consistent monthly rental income, but as time goes by your asset will appreciate in value and if you ever decide to sell, you could make a profit from the sale of the asset as well.

5. Stock / Cryptocurrency Investment
A truly way to earn passive income is by investing in the stock market or in cryptocurrency. I am not talking about investing in volatile/risky stocks or timing the market, but instead I am referring to Index Fund Investing (ETF’s) as these are passively managed by a fund manager and it has lower expenses and maintenance fees than active managed funds.

Another type of investment that has become quite popular are the cryptocurrencies. This will require the purchase of the crypto token and then stacked it at a cryptocurrency exchange or pool to earn interest on the amount of your crypto holdings.

There are also platforms like Udemy, Udacity, and Skillshare that you can join and offer your digital course.

This business niche is growing and as you are earning money you can always expand your car fleet and host it at the platform. A quick calculation of daily rental income for a mid-size sedan and a pick up truck is about $35.00 to $63.00 At this moment Turo is only available in the US, Canada, and UK.

9. Rent Your Room
Besides renting your car you can also rent a spare bedroom in your house. If you do not have the enough capital to buy a property or land to become a real estate investor, you can start small and rent a room or rooms in your house. With platforms like AirBnB, you can list your spare bedroom for rent or if you have a cottage or vacation home you can also list it as well. AirBnB has been a success to many people by creating passive income for short term rentals.

10. Become A Blogger

With a blog there are many ways to earn passive income, like promote affiliate marketing, sell your online course, sell your blog related services or merchandise, and even run a online store from your blog.

How successful will your blog become will depend on the quality of your content and the audience it caters to. Once you gather a sizeable audience you can monetize your blog with ad-share programs like Google Adsense.
