Are you willing to earn money while sleeping, enjoying a weekend, or concentrating on other income streams? If yes, this article is for you.
It is only possible by generating passive income. To understand the methods of making income passively, you need to know what passive income is.
What is Passive Income?
Many people think that passive income makes money without making any effort or investment, but that is not true. However, it requires an initial investment of money, time, energy, or all but not in continuity.
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) says passive income can come from two sources: property for rent or a business where one starts generating income without working regularly. For example, if you write a book and publish it online or offline, you work hard once. Still, anytime someone purchases your book, you will make money, i.e., called passive income.
Here are some ways of earning passive income with little or no money.
Affiliate marketing:
Statista estimates that the affiliate marketing industry will hit $8.2 billion by 2022. It is the process in which you refer the products of a person or a company, and for every sale, you make through a referral, you will earn a commission. This is the easiest way to earn money because there is no product handling or manufacturing and no chances of monetary loss. All you need is a reasonable number of followers on any of your online channels like YouTube, your blog, or social media.
How you can start affiliate marketing?
To join affiliate marketing, you will have to join an affiliate program. Amazon affiliate program is the most famous affiliate program. You can join the program as a blog owner and recommend a product on amazon; anyone who buys the product by clicking on your referral link will earn a commission. For example, if customers buy 100$ products and your commission is 4 %, you will earn 4 $ commission.
Create a blog or YouTube channel
Do you know any skills like digital marketing, cooking, and blogging, or do you love to travel? Whatever you know and are fond of, you can start a YouTube channel or blog by posting or writing content related to your skills.
How can you earn passive income through a YouTube channel or blog?
You can earn money by following resources
- Selling affiliate products
- Creating sponsored posts
- Running ads through Google AdSense
- To earn money through a YouTube channel, you must consistently create the best possible content for a long time.
Start a drop shipping store
You can start dropshipping by creating your store on any e-commerce platform. In this business model, you need to make marketing, pricing, and search engine optimization strategies. Your supplier is responsible for manufacturing and delivering the product to a customer. It’s a less risky business model because you don’t have to buy the product and need a warehouse to keep the stock. You take your profit from your supplier without buying the product.
The steps involved in fulfilling the order of the customer are as follows.
- Your buyer places an order from your store.
- Supplier automatically receives order from your store
- Your supplier prepares your customer’s order
- Your supplier ships your order directly to your customer.
Create a print-on-demand store
If you know graphics designing, then this module is best for you. Print on demand is a process to sell customized products with your designs printed on them. Like drop shipping, this module also doesn’t need bulk stock or inventory because you only prepare the product after receiving the order. It is also less risky and needs low cost. You can customize books, bag packs, T-shirts, magazines, and more. You can automate your marketing and sales activities after setting up your store. You can get connected to the drop shipper for this business also, but, in this case, your profit margin will fall.
