*Disclaimer: The majority of sources mentioned are free.*
Passive income, am I right? Don’t we all dream to earn as much as possible with minimum output. Let’s get the guilt (if there is any) out of the way. We all desire money. For one thing or another. And there is nothing wrong with that. But we also desire money without actively working don’t see anything wrong with that either. And isn’t that what passive income is for?
If you are new to passive income, then let me put it simply. It’s having a stream(s) of income in which you put your time, effort, and capital to live off long term without working. The easiest example I can give is you create a YouTube video if people are watching it you are making money off of it. Simple right?
Well, it is, and it isn’t. Like anything, it needs your constant time and attention for a certain period but then you can leave it be let it do its thing. Which is to get you passive cash and It is what I called getting maximum output from minimum input. But again, reaching that point needs investment. Investment of your time, effort, hard work, and yes, could be some money.
There are multiple ways for one to earn passive income and there isn’t anything in the world that can stop you if you really want it. Do You want money with minimum effort? Good. Set that goal straight because I have some interesting ways to do that with minimum money investment.
