Passive income can be thought of as money you earn passively, meaning that it only requires a little bit of effort on your part to earn that revenue.  For example:

  • Owning a rental house and collecting a monthly rental check
  • Owning a website and collecting monthly advertising revenue
  • Owing a dividend stock and collecting the dividend payments

What It Takes to Earn Passive Income

All passive income streams will require at least one of the following two elements:

  • An upfront monetary investment, or
  • An upfront time investment

Why Passive Income

Although a day job would give you financial freedom, saving that money and investing it in other ventures would give extra from it. This not only gives some extra liquidity to you but also lets you earn extra from your own money.

Advantages of Passive Earning

  1. Financial Security

In this era of global financial uncertainty, one cannot always depend on a single source of income for their living. You need to have some kind of backup system that would support you when you suddenly might need. Such financial security should not require too much of your time too because you would need to concentrate on your day job too.

  1. Mental Peace

When you know there is a support system even if you were to be laid off from your current job you would be stress free and this in itself would make you work better in your current job. Financial stress would be off your shoulders and you have mental peace.

  1. Better Lifestyle

With more money you sure would be able to enjoy a better standard of living. You can spend on things you like the most. You need not always think about saving you can spend some money too. Investing in passive income gives more spending power to you. If you are a wise spender you sure are going to have more money to invest too.

  1. Spend Time on Your Interest

If you are a person who would like to take a long tour around the world or a trek to the Himalayas and similar interests you don’t have to worry about leaving your day job. You can take a break any time you want if you have a established second income option.

This would give you the freedom to move across anytime. You can even plan for an early retirement and spend your time as you would want to.

This kind of freedom generally is not possible if there is one sole income generating job.

  1. More Assets

Passive Income in fact gives you the freedom to build more assets while you still are able to do it. If you make perfect plans and invest wisely your passive income would generate more income with time. Since you need to invest either in little amounts or only once you might not even feel it as a burden and with time as the investment matures you would get better and better interests and returns.
