If you’re looking for better ways to generate a steady money stream with little effort, passive income<\/a> could be just what you’re looking for. Passive income, which is money not derived from active involvement such as a salary, can come in a variety of flavors. <\/p>\n

Whether it’s a short-term financial goal such as saving up for a car or a long-term one like having enough savings for retirement, earning passive income can turn your free time into a chunk of change. While getting started can initially require some financial investments (and a great deal of patience), once your cash flow is in place, you can just sit back and relax. You might even make $1,000 a month.<\/p>\n

Your personal finances<\/a> will only benefit from what you start today. Here are some ideas that could get you there with a little help from our money experts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

1. Sell Printables<\/h2>\n

As Sarah Sharkey of Clever Girl Finance<\/a> noted, printables are one of the unique side hustles you can start online. These cover a variety of themes, ranging from planners to coloring pages, cards and more.<\/p>\n

“Typically, you’ll have to create a printable only one time. You can use programs like Canva to help you create printables your customers will love,” Sharkey wrote. “Then you can watch the somewhat passive income roll into your life. Etsy is a great place to get ideas and start selling your printables.”<\/p>\n

2. Create an Online Course<\/h2>\n

Certain websites, such as Udemy, enable you to create a course on their platform. The courses offered run the gamut, from IT certifications to sourdough bread baking, from speaking German to learning guitar. So if you have a specific skill, that might be the way to go.<\/p>\n

“Once it’s published, it doesn’t require any additional maintenance from you, and you get paid when people take your class. It’s a low-output way of making some extra cash and helping people. That’s like a win-win… win,” Dave Ramsey<\/a> indicated on his blog.<\/p>\n

3. Open and Invest in a High-Yield Savings Account<\/h2>\n

Another effortless way to derive passive income is by investing in a high-yield savings account. By not taking advantage of the high APYs your bank already offers, you are essentially leaving money on the table. <\/p>\n

Indeed, high-yield savings accounts<\/a> (HYSAs) have been very attractive as of late — offering rates upward of 5% compared to an average 0.47% for traditional savings accounts, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).<\/p>\n

4. Invest in Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)<\/h2>\n

Outside of the rental income avenue to real estate, investing via REITs can be quite lucrative. These are essentially mutual funds that buy real estate instead of stocks.<\/p>\n

Yet, Dave Ramsey urged caution on this subject. He said that while there are many good REITs, “There are still a lot of bad ones that use debt to purchase properties — which means more risk for you as an investor.”<\/p>\n

5. Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Lending<\/h2>\n

Peer-to-peer lending entails loaning <\/a>money — as little as $10 — and collecting interest on top of getting your initial investment back, as The Millennial Money Woman<\/a> explained in a blog post.<\/p>\n

For instance, platforms such GroundFloor, a real estate peer-to-peer platform, offer the ability to fund micro loans for home flippers. However, while passive income generated from P2P platforms can be very lucrative, the practice can also be a bit risky.<\/p>\n

“Just make sure you do your research first — before you commit your resources financially,” The Millennial Money Women explained. Your initial funds are not always entirely safeguarded.<\/p>\n

6. Use Affiliate Marketing<\/h2>\n

You can also generate passive income streams thanks to affiliate marketing — in other words, partnering with companies and promoting their products or services through affiliate links on your blog, website or social media platforms.<\/p>\n

“Now this doesn’t mean you can just hashtag your favorite running shoes on Twitter and expect to get paid. The companies you know and love have to have an affiliate marketing program for you to get paid for it, and you’d need to apply to become part of it,” Ramsey detailed.<\/p>\n

Websites such as Rakuten LinkShare can help you find and connect with those affiliate marketing programs.<\/p>\n

7. Invest in Dividend Stocks<\/h2>\n

Last but certainly not least, a stock portfolio focused on dividends can generate $1,000 per month or more in perpetual passive income. However, at an example 4% dividend yield, you would need a portfolio worth $300,000, which is a substantial upfront investment.<\/p>\n

Dividends allow you to continually profit from top companies without selling any shares, and while a dividend stock strategy requires a fair amount of patience, it allows money to work for you over what can feel like a lot of time.<\/p>\n
