Top 5 passive income ideas to start for free (Part2)

Coming up with passive income ideas can seem so fun and exciting because it allows you to buy back your time in some way.

Isn't it great to make money in your sleep? What if you could earn money while you watch TV or on vacation?

Sounds nice, but making passive income is not a walk in the park. Luckily, I will share with you 5 different passive income ideas to help you get there!

Most of us earn what is called "active income". This means you can go to work or work from home and trade your time for money.

There is nothing wrong with that and I fully support the work that you love and that gives you purpose.

If you no longer have to work in exchange for money, you will not only diversify your income but also free up additional time to do what you love.

Here are 5 passive income ideas you can try.

1. Consolidated savings

There are several apps like Chime that can save you money without much effort.

Chime Bank can round-up change from a debit card purchase to the nearest dollar and then transfer the difference to a savings account. This can be a long-term or short-term way to help build savings.

Every time you make a purchase or pay one of your bills with your Chime Visa debit card, you receive a deposit into your automatic savings account.

The account is instantly available if you need it, but should be left alone if possible for passive income.

Chime Bank members can also set up a percentage of their salary to be automatically deposited into the same account every payday.

2. Rent and deliver baby equipment

One idea that will take some effort but might be worth it is renting out and delivering for Baby Quip.

Do you have car seats, high chairs, cribs, bathtubs, or strollers that you don't use? By posting them on Baby Quip, you can benefit from this baby outfit.

Sometimes parents don't have room for cribs or strollers on a trip, and Baby Quip is the platform that offers ways to rent equipment at a reasonable price.

Traveling with kids can be difficult, but having to lug some of that equipment around the airport can make it even harder.

Clients themselves choose where and when they go on a trip, and what equipment they need.

On average, Baby, Quip providers earn up to $500 per month. Suppliers may also need to deliver and install equipment.

3. Write an eBook

Want to share an interesting story or experience?

Consider writing your own eBook and you can earn passive income from royalties.

You can use platforms like Amazon or Shopify to self-publish an eBook.

In my Shopify store, I sell a range of workbooks, which are mini eBooks.

For each book sold, you will receive a percentage of the sale. This is something that can continue to help you generate passive income over time.

4. Blogging

One of my favorite passive income ideas is blogging.

If you've been thinking about starting a blog, I say go for it! Blogging takes a lot of time and effort, but starting a blog has been one of the best decisions I've ever made.

It doesn't cost much to get started, and if you're serious about running your blog as a business, you can monetize it through advertising, affiliate marketing, sponsored posts, and your own products.

5. Create and sell printing plates

This can be a very lucrative side hustle to start with. Etsy is a very famous platform to start selling.

Printables are something you can create for clients to download and print from home.

Common topics are meal planning, holidays, stag/hen parties, and financial planning.

People can easily earn hundreds or even thousands a month of passive income from print publications.
