Over the past few years, I've built up multiple streams of passive income, which now generate around $42,000 per week.
It took me years of trial and error, testing different methods, and refining what worked best. Today, I'm sharing my top 9 passive income ideas that you can start working on right now.

It means you put in the work upfront, and once things are running, you continue earning even when you're not actively working.
โฌ Here's how I did it

You don't need to be on camera to make money on YouTube.
The best part?
The videos I posted years ago are still making money today.
Once you set it up correctly, YouTube is one of the most passive income streams, and with AI tools, itโs even easier to automate.

Develop an app, launch it on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store, and start earning from downloads and in-app purchases.
One example is an app that helps people quit drinking, which now makes $600,000 a month, according to SensorTower. The idea is simple: Solve a problem with your app, and it will generate income for you around the clock.

If you have unused space, you can rent it out on Airbnb.
Iโve made around $2,000 this month by listing my apartment on the platform.
The initial setup takes some time, but once your listing is live, itโs a great semi-passive income stream.

Building an online community can be very profitable.
Platforms like Skool make it easy to manage and monetize communities with little ongoing effort. Once your community is up and running, the income becomes relatively passive.

Apps like Honeygain, PocketStream, and Simcash allow you to earn passive income by sharing your internet bandwidth or receiving text messages.
These apps wonโt make you rich overnight, but they can add a small, steady stream of income without much effort.

Promoting digital products as an affiliate can be highly profitable.
For example, promoting VidIQ software has earned me over $5,000 per month in recurring commissions. The key is to find digital products that align with your niche and promote them through content channels like YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram.
๐ณ. ๐ต ๐ง๐ถ๐ธ๐ง๐ผ๐ธ ๐๐๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป
TikTok automation is a new AI-driven method, but it can be unstable.
If youโre interested, itโs worth exploring but donโt rely solely on this income stream.

Selling digital products like eBooks, courses, or templates can be a powerful source of passive income.
Iโve earned over $890,000 by selling my digital products on platforms like Teachable.
Once created, these products can be sold repeatedly without additional effort.

Publishing blog articles on Medium can also generate passive income.
Mediumโs Partner Program pays writers based on reader engagement.
Consistency is key here, but once your articles gain traction, they can continue to earn money passively.
