There is no better time than now to start.

What Is Passive Income Online About?

A passive income online can be looked on as an income that requires minimal to no effort to maintain. You do the work upfront and then reap the rewards continually down the line. This differs from Active Income in that your Active income will be (usually) your job or employment.

Passive Income streams, as a revenue source are often clouded with misconceptions and unknowns. I hope that the below will give you a better idea on what is available and what may fit your style.

So what is on offer out there? Below are 5 ideas for you to consider plus I have also put at the end some frequently asked questions together with the best tips I have for you, to help you on your venture.

What is a List of Passive Income Streams. 5 Options to Consider

1. E-Commerce or Online Shop:

It has never been easier to open a shop than in today’s market, especially if you create an online store. An online store means that you don’t need the traditional ‘Bricks and Mortar’ investment of premises, rent, rates, staff etc and heck thousands of others have automated Drop-shipping as an income source, and for you, by incorporating Api links between your store and a product supplier, you don’t even need to buy or manage stock!

If you do want to give Drop-shipping a go then you will need a platform to host your store on. I use Shopify for my online retail outlet and often Shopify have free trial offers running so it’s worth giving them a look up. Drop-shipping really does let you sell products that you are interested in and have a passion for, without the usual inventory hassles and stock holding requirements a conventional store may have. Automated drop-shipping lets you sell products online without inventory hassles which is perfect for those looking to enter e-commerce with minimal upfront investment.

2. Publish an e-Book

Fancy yourself as the next J.K. Rowling or perhaps Tom Clancy? If so, why not self-publish an e-book. Again, this is an area where you can literally bring your passion to life for the entertainment of others. Once you have written, edited and uploaded your composition (You can publish your material on Amazon Kindle) You then quite literally are sitting back receiving a passive income from this venture. This is no different to how Authors (and Musicians) selling hard copy books in bookstores earn royalty (passive) incomes. Now just imagine if your book were to become a best seller, the royalties you would earn, the film script offer…

3. Lights, Camera, Action

Calling all budding Film Stars. Save your time waiting on tables in the hope of being discovered and instead create your own You Tube Channel. Now I don’t mean that you need to be a Hip Hop (or in my case Hip Op!) dancing teenage sensation, no, thousands like you are finding that leveraging platforms like YouTube can offer a pathway to financial freedom and security. This method is very similar to publishing material online.

Basically, share a short video on something you are passionate about. Repeat the process. And again. Be original in your content and find a new angle on the subject matter. As the’ likes’ grow the opportunity presents itself to monetise your channel with advertisers. Just type into You Tube a subject you are interested in, anything, from Wild Camping to Knitwear Pattern tutorials and you will see what I mean. Some of these You Tubers, are not just getting advertiser revenue, but also free products to test, from Motorbikes to Cosmetics… here’s an idea ‘The Beautiful Biker…!’

Like those who earn passive income with eBooks, your videos can be viewed pretty much 24/7 and globally. You can be earning a passive income whilst you sleep, from all corners of the world.

4. Affiliate Marketing

Do you have a social media following on Facebook or X (formerly Twitter)? Perhaps a Tik Tok or Instagram audience? Could you write short articles and post them on your platform? Are you then able to drop a link into your content on say a related product or service that compliments your article? If so then you could be on your way with affiliate marketing. Large companies will pay commissions to people promoting their products in this way. If you don’t have a social media presence then no problem. You can still promote products via an uploaded article or blog to the internet.

The reason why Global companies are waking up to this method of product promotion is quite simple. The Internet currently has 5.3 BILLION users on it. By 2025 this is expected to rise to 6.54 BILLION and so on. Further, internet users spend an average of 6 hours 40 minutes online EVERY DAY. Source: DemandSage:

Again, find a product that you are interested in, and that you can link to your content. You can find companies willing to pay you commissions in all industries and all sizes of outlets from local business through to the giant that is Amazon. (I am sure you can find something to promote on that platform)

If Affiliate marketing sparks your interest, then I would recommend getting a grounding and insight in to how it can work for you, and before you spend any money on a program why not have a look at my article on a Business Model that you can initially start for Free, a sort of Test drive if you like, and where the format can be built and copied over a vast range of ideas.

5. Passive Income for Retirement Security. Property and Stocks

Investing in dividend-yielding stocks or real estate can provide a steady income flow, crucial for a secure retirement. However, this really is a long-term strategy that will require considerable financial investment in either the stocks, shares and bonds, or in the physical Bricks of a property. I know there are various strategies out there for leveraging to get onto the property investment ladder but I have not tried them so I can’t vouch for the reality or return in investment here. Also, this type of investment is beyond the scope of this article and most of my readers reading this are looking for solutions in the here and now. Not 25 years away.

You have the desire to start taking control of your income streams and naturally will have some questions so I have put together the most frequently asked ones. If there is something particular you wish to know in conjunction with the article then drop a comment below and I will endeavour to find the answer for you.

The 3 top FAQ’s I get.

1. Can I really make money Passively?

Yes, you can. People just like you and all over the world are generating a steady flow of income incorporating strategies such as automated drop-shipping, monetizing a blog, or leveraging platforms like YouTube. These options can offer a pathway to financial freedom and security and build a passive income for you.

2. I have never done anything like this before, will I be able to do it?

Definitely. Whatever it is that you fancy working at first do your homework. All good programs and methods will have a great training and support system in place for you to follow. If not, walk away. Also, Do NOT let age be a barrier. When I was at school, going to the Moon was the future. For nigh on most of my readers, when at school, going to the moon was history. What I am saying is I am not of the tech generation and if I can earn income online, so can anyone.

3. Do I pay Tax on my Passive Income

As the saying goes…The only guarantees in life are Death and Taxes. So yes. I am afraid so. Passive Income is… Income. As such if you are over your particular countries Tax thresholds with your combined earnings then you pay tax.

Now the 7 tips for you

1. Research your opportunity. I have seen all manner of things (and tried a few) online. Everything from ‘Systems’ that will ‘Make You a $1Million overnight’ to Racehorse scams. All I will say is that all these opportunities have one thing in common, and that is to empty your wallet. I am afraid to say that Passive Income takes time to build and is not an overnight get rich quick methodology.

2. Patience and Persistency are key. You need to be persistent and constant in your efforts, and then, just like pumping a well for water, the results come through. Don’t be like kids with train sets at Christmas. After the initial excitement, they drift off to something else. If you are posting Online, uploading Content, whatever, be consistent with it, especially in the early stages to build momentum.

3. Seek out automation where possible in your Business. Automation is your ally. You can incorporate tasks to be done such as email sending, Social Media uploads etc all by having integrated systems in place. This frees up more of your time and ultimately gets your enterprise on the way to being on Autopilot.

4. Diversify. Where passive income is concerned don’t just build one income stream otherwise you might be vulnerable to market changes. If you are promoting products look at complementary lines to link with your main offering. Running a Social media Campaign. Why not promote your E-Commerce store etc.

5. Set your goals (see my article on Goal setting here) and Plan it out. Also plan the time you have for your venture. If you are running an enterprise part time then plan your week as to when you can not work on it, but make sure you do work the hours you set aside – to work on it, You get what I mean.

6. Don’t Quit the day job. Well, not yet anyway. If you quit your job at the start with no other income built up you will put yourself under huge financial, personal and relationship strain. Just don’t do it. Your ultimate aim is for your passive income strategies and passive income streams to overtake the revenue you receive from your active job. Then you will be in a position to ‘Fire Your Boss’ and enjoy your new found freedom and lifestyle.

7. Keep Business finances separate from your personal spending. Open a separate bank account and keep that for business use. This way you will not blur the lines as to what a business is making, what is genuine expenditure etc from your weekly grocery shop bill.

I really hope that the above has fired your interest and given you an insight into where you can go in respect of building your passive income stream from. The dream of achieving financial independence is as important for people as ever, especially in these times of economic uncertainty. Let me know what has sparked your interest here and what do you see yourself doing to build your own financial independence from a passive income stream?

A short note about me. (you can find more on the About-Me Page.) I have had a varied career from construction to corporate banking. With the onset of global economic changes I switched, and have built passive income streams online. On my journey I have found and tried a lot of things that don’t work and things that do. I hope my experiences can help you in your choices and help you achieve your future you desire.
