Introduction
Passive Income
The concept of passive income can beexplained in fairly simple terms: earn money while you sleep. Whilepassive income doesnt mean you wont be working hard, it does meanthat the amount of money, time, and energy put into a project isnot paid back in a direct manner. Instead of being paid by thehour, you will be creating a valuable service or product and youearn your compensation down the road for hard work alreadycompleted. Hopefully, this continues to produce for an extendedperiod of time even as work has winded down on the projects.
The most obvious example of passive income isauthoring a book. An author spends weeks, months, maybe yearsputting together a great novel, a great resource guide, or someother publication that will have intrinsic value to a market. Theywork with a publisher or even self-publish the book, put marketingefforts into place, and after all this time of working without anypayment, they hope to reap the benefits in the form of royaltiespaid over an extended period of time based on sales. This is aclassic passive income stream that can be repeated as many times asthe author and/or publishers are willing to go through theprocess.
The reality of passive income is that itsnot as simple or luxurious as it sounds at first glance. However,most intelligent people should have no problem creating passiveincome streams. It requires the ability to self-motivate and beable to keep yourself afloat until your income streams allow you toleave your nine to five life, but in return, a successful passiveincome will pay hand over fist compared to the time invested. Thereis no foolproof guarantee that the work will become financiallyviable down the road, but there are ways to help ensure that aproduct is at least marketable. Some risks are smaller than others,and that makes all the difference.
In this book, well discuss severalbeginner-friendly methods of creating passive income streams thatcan be expanded upon and scaled quite easily. This includespublishing eBooks (perfect for beginners), blogging, YouTube,online courses, and opening an online shop.
What Youll Need
Hard Work
The great thing about passive income in the21st century is that it is no longer limited to thosewith a healthy bankroll at their disposal. Hard work is the mainingredient. If youre willing to put in the time, you can startwith almost no money whatsoever. Of course, it would be beneficialto have some funds available, as having money to spend can simplifythe process and often improve your results.
Motivation
This may be one of the most difficult thingsfor those just starting their passive income journey. It is acommon fallacy that passive income will instantly change someoneslife. It is important to remember that passive income is a longgame; it is not a get-rich quick scheme. As such, a huge part ofthe struggle for beginners, especially those whose finances arentideal, is motivating yourself to do the hard work without theguarantee of pay or pay directly related to your hourly input. Youmust stay the course. Your continued hard work will eventually payoff as long as youre able to keep yourself motivated.
Time to Work
Starting out, you may need more time thanyoud ever have expected. Once youve created a system that worksfor you and have found methods to scale and repeat and beginearning for all your hard work, you should see your time begin tofree up, either to work on more projects or to do the things thatare really worthwhile to you. In the beginning, youre likely goingto be working your day job and forcing yourself to work even morehours. You will need to find the time to make this work.
