Chapter 1: Introduction to Passive Income

introduces passive income

The book’s first chapter introduces passive income so that even a layman can easily understand and differentiate it from active income. Once the reader gets to know what passive and active incomes are, the author takes the readers to the major categories of passive income so they can decide where to land according to their interests.

Some top passive income categories include:

  • Digital and Internet
  • Real Estate
  • Financial Investment
  • Physical Assets

You can opt for any passive income stream you like according to your budget and feasibility. However, one must always keep in mind that no one becomes a millionaire overnight – everything takes time – and the author has also made the readers realize it.

Most types of passive income are built over time and aren’t earned instantly. Even direct investment income requires the initial investment to be earned. Getting started with a successful passive income plan will require patience, hard work, consistency, and the right strategy.

Chapter 3: A Brief History of Passive Income

A Brief History of Passive Income

It is important to first get familiar with the background and history of the business you are planning to do – in this case, it’s passive income. The author has done a brilliant job in taking his readers to the history of passive income so they can know how all this began in the first place.

Although passive income became mainstream with the advent of the internet, if we go a bit more back in history, we can see that people were still making money while doing nothing. For example, they used to rent out their property, vehicles, equipment, and whatnot (they still do). Well, that was just a start.

Chapter 4: Ways to Generate Passive Income

Ways to Generate Passive Income

Finally, this is the best chapter of the book that discusses the actual ways to generate passive income streams so you can earn while doing little to nothing. The author has explained the best 9 ideas of passive income that you can start right away – while some need money, others can be started with a small capital at hand.

For example, you can write an eBook and market it – if it’s good and gets viral, you can earn from it for the rest of your life. The author has listed all the ways to generate passive income and put his time into explaining each passive income source in detail.

According to the author, affiliate marketing is one of the best ways to earn passive income:

Affiliate links work great for blogs and sites that already have some regular traffic. Even if you don’t own a blog yet, it’s not hard to start a new one. However, you need to pump some quality content and focus on generating traffic from Google and social media. Earning through affiliate programs is probably one of the easiest ways to generate passive income, as you don’t have to deal with physical products yourself or spend countless hours writing an eBook.

Along with all these passive income ideas, the chapter also includes some other ways to build passive income sources, such as watching YouTube videos, reading various books, and learning from online courses.

Online courses can also be used to further research ways to generate passive income. For example, real estate investment companies like RWinvest offer multiple guides to help people navigate the market and start investing.

Not everyone has bags full of money or knowledge to start a business that can earn them a good passive income, and the author understands it pretty well. For this purpose, he has also included a section in this chapter that tells the best ways to create a passive income from a limited budget.

Whether you are a businessman or a salaried person – passive income is for everyone. You don’t necessarily have to leave your primary business or job for your new passive income source, at least initially. You can also create multiple streams of passive income if you’ve gained enough experience and know the ins and outs of the business.

Yes, you can create several streams of passive income, but for beginners, it is recommended to choose one source first, focus on it, and let it grow. Once you know how passive income works for you, you can explore more options and work on them.
