What is passive income?
Passive income refers to earnings generated with minimal effort after the initial work is done.
It’s not about sitting daily; it’s about smart work that pays off over time.
Unlike active income, where time equals money, passive income allows
You break free from the 9-to-5 grind.
Examples of passive income streams:
- Selling digital products (like eBooks, templates, or printables).
- Affiliate marketing (earning commissions by promoting products).
- Online courses (sharing your expertise).
- Stock photography or music licensing.
- Investing in real estate or the stock market.
In my podcast, Money While You Sleep, I break down these methods into actionable
steps for beginners.
Let’s explore some top strategies to kickstart your journey!

Examples of Digital Products:
- Printable wall art (perfect for creatives).

👉 Pro Tip: Use platforms like Kickis Shop, Creative Fabrica, or Zazzle to list your
products and reach a global audience.

Step 4: Tap into Royalties with Stock Content
If you’re a creative professional, selling stock photos, videos, or music can generate consistent income.
Platforms like Wirestock, Adobe Stock, or Pond5 allow you to upload your work and earn every time someone downloads it.
Tips for Success:
- Create content in high-demand categories (business, nature, lifestyle).
- Use trending keywords in titles and descriptions.
- Regularly upload new content to keep your portfolio fresh.
Step 5: Invest in Your Future
Investing isn’t just for Wall Street professionals.
With apps like Robinhood or Acorns, you can start small and grow your wealth passively.
Types of Investments:
- Dividend-paying stocks (earn regular payouts).
- Real estate crowdfunding (owning a share of property earnings).
- Index funds (low-cost, diversified investments).
Remember, investing takes patience, but it’s a tried-and-true way to build passive income over time.
