Living above average financially through passive income.

• 

Passive income is when you continue to get paid after the work is done. It includes royalties from books movies or songs. It’s also revenue that comes from real business investments when you don’t have to be present to earn it.

Passive income streams require an upfront investment and a lot of nurturing in the beginning. After some time through hard work these income streams start to build and are able to maintain themselves, bringing you consistent revenue without much effort on your part.

Passive income includes regular earning from a source other than a employer or contactor. “Many people think that passive income is about getting something for nothing,” tresidder says. “It has a ” get rich-quick appeal… But in the end, it still involves work. You just give the work upfront.

If you want to get started earning passive income here’s what you should  know first.

• Passive income requires some upfront monetary investment.
• Or upfront time investment.

Here’s a list of quite a few passive income ideas, so it’s likely that you’ll be able to find at least two to three that will work for your situation.

1. Put your photography to work on the web.

Do you like photography? If you do, you may be able to convert it into a passive income source. Photography websites such as shutterstock and Istockphoto can provide you with platform’s to sell your photos. They may offer either a Percentage or a flat fee of each photo that is sold to the site client.

In this way a single photo could represent a cash flow source since it can be sold again and again. You simply need to create your photo portfolio, put it on one or more photo platform’s, and then the activity becomes completely passive. All the technicalities of photo sales are handled through the web platform. And yes, that’s me in a stock photo, you can purchase from Istockphoto. My good friend is a photographer that has uploaded a few hundred photos to their platform and makes a good residual income from it.

2. Investing in business.

Another way to generate passive income is to invest and be in a business for yourself. This is very risky for some persons.but with the risk’s come with potential high returns. For example, several years ago both lyft and uber were looking for private investors to invest in there companies. Today they’re worth billions. But you as an investor will only reap that benefit if they go to public via an IPO, or get acquired, so it’s risky.

But there are ways to reduce your risk. And that’s to increase your financial education in this particular aspect. So that you can see the future of the company you are trying to invest in.

3.invest in real estate:

This probably falls more in the category of semi-passive income, since an investment in real estate is always at least a little bit of an active venture. Still, once you have a property that is established and fully rented, it’s mostly a matter of managing the property and keeping it performing well.

Now, there are Lot’s of Way’s to invest in real estate, which will just look a little on then and take more a closer look at owing rental properties and why it’s such a popular way to earn passive income.

a. Crowd funded real estate:

Real estate investing used to be seen as the preserve of the wealthy, but crowd funded real estates sites want to bring it to the public at large.

• Peerstreets: is a marketplace to invest in high quality private real estate low minimum investment is just $1,000 but you must be an accredited investor. You can set parameters to customize your investment. A investment made with peerstreet are a real estate loan and not an investment in the actual real estate.
• Reit: a REIT is a real estate investment trust. (Think of a REIT as a mutual fund for real estate investing. You can invest in real estate the same  way you can invest in any other Industry. By buying stocks. When you own stock in a REIT, you earn a share of the profits produced by the real estate investment. It’s a way to invest in real estate without the hassle of being a property owner.
• Rental real estate: this is the KING,  Rentals properties can be great source of passive income once you get rental-up and running. And you can have to invest all with your money. To me it’s artistic. You invest with other peoples money. Hardly for banks to borrow you money to invest in peerstreets or real estate investment (REIT), but you can get leverage of 80% to 100percent finance from either banks or seller. People has create tremendous wealth through rentals real estate investment

How much to spend: now, hear me out on this; if you’re out now to invest in rental property, the truth is that there is a bit risk in all investment, but you can minimize your risk through information.  First invest in real estate education, go to your local book shop or amazon and buy books on real estate. Listen to podcasts and take course. The amount you spend on your education will help you minimize the amount you could have lose in the market.

C. Dropshipping:

If you want to sell a product you don’t have to handle, them dropshipping is the way dropshipping consists primarily in selecting and promoting products that are offered by a fulfilment service. The fulfilment service stocks the products and ships them directly to the client once the sales is made.

D. Selling your own products:

Selling your own products may be a bit trickier because you will have to create the products and deal with support. To make your sales process as passive as possible, try to focus on creating evergreen products (things that will be relevant in 5plus years from now.)

Or it can also be digital goods that are created and bundled into a file and sell as a digital good.
