- Bank Interest (Normal Account/Fixed Deposit)
In most countries, this amount is not much (0.5% – 3% per annum). But there are other countries that give quite a significant amount. (5% – 10% per annum) Regardless of the amount, this is definitely a source of passive income. - Profits from a systemised traditional business
If you are an business owner who can go for a 1-year holiday while your business continues to make money, then you have a passive income business. If you are constantly overseeing the operation of your business and feel really stressed when you are away from your business, then start systemizing it. - Rental from private property
You buy a house or condominium and rent it out. If your rent > (mortgage + repairs), then you have a passive income investment. If you are rent < mortgage and you have the mentality that “I just need to pay the difference for 20 years and own the house”, then I would suggest that you look at some re-financing to let you have positive rental yield - Rental from commercial property
This is similar to private property above only that it deals with commercial property - Royalties from publishing a book
Book royalty is a sum paid to the author for each copy of the book sold. Royalties can be earned from a book for a lifetime. It is a typical case of doing something right once and reaping the rewards for a lifetime. - Earnings from an EBook
Another variation to book royalty is to write an ebook and sell online. Everyone knows of something that someone else is willing to pay for. If you can capitalize on a knowledge that you have and write an Ebook on it, you can already start earning an income for yourself. Besides the earnings, you can also build credibility for yourself. - Royalties from publishing a song
Music royalties is another version of getting a cut from your creation. It shares the same benefits as book royalties. - Royalties from licensing a patent
A patent gives the owner an exclusive right to prevent others from practicing the patented technology. Royalties are paid to the patent owner in exchange for a license to manufacture, use, sale, or advertise for sale, a patented technology. Royalties from patents usually last up until your patent expires. - Earnings from internet advertisements
The income is from advertisers who wants to place advertisements of their products/services on your website. When you build your website to a good ranking on search engines and the internet traffic is high, earnings from internet advertisement become effortless. - Earnings from affiliate marketing
You can earn a commission by promoting other people’s products. The beautiful part of this model is that you do not need to create a product from scratch to sell, you just need to look for a product you like to promote. This process saves you a lot of effort and time. - Earnings from Youtube advertising
Youtube has a Youtube Partner Program which allows you to earn an income. Youtube will place advertisements on your videos as long as you meet the necessary guidelines based on the Program. You get paid when your viewers click on the advertisements placed on your videos. - Earnings from online ECommerce sites
You can create an ecommerce site to sell certain products or services. Once the site is up with good traffic and business, you can turn it to be totally passive by employing someone to do the administrative and delivery of the goods. - Earnings from Franchise your business model to other people
You create a proven system of a franchise business. Other people pay you franchising fee to get to know how you do your business so that there is no need for them to reinvent the wheel or to improvise the system. - Dividends from stocks
- Earnings from Systemised Network Marketing business (Goh Gin Hwee)
- Rental from Storage space
- Rental from Parking lots
The passive income comes from the rental of parking lots. There may even be long-term rental income generated when your space is close to a business where employees need viable parking options on a daily basis. - Rental from Automatic Teller Machine (ATM)
- Rental from Vending Machine
The passive income comes from the rental of rental of vending machines. You can get a cut of the purchases made from your vending machine. You only require a capital outlay as the machines can be managed by the vendors. - Blogging
Some bloggers get paid to write about things they are passionate in. When the bloggers have a site that generates lots of traffic, they can even get paid by advertisers who wants to advertise on the bloggers’ sites. - Earnings from conducting workshops/courses/seminars
The income comes from selling courses and the course materials. The organizers can also up-sell more courses to the same group of participants to earn from the participants continually. The course materials need only be developed once (revised over time) and can be reused in multiple modes. - Earnings from membership
An example of membership could be fitness centre memberships. The equipment in the fitness centre is already existent and there is little servicing needed for your customers too. As long as they remain a member of your fitness centre, you continue to get paid. - Earnings from subscription
Let’s say, you set up an online website that teaches people how to organize their lives to make it more productive. Your website will also be updated with new tips every month. Once people subscribe to your services, and as long as they retain their subscription you keep getting paid. - Earnings from consultation services
You have to first position yourself as an expert and as someone whom people can go to for the solution. You can then offer consultation services which works around your time. By giving out your expertise, you will start making good money consistently too. - …
