Creating Passive Income Streams

By: Jet Lee

Creating completely passive alternate income will never be simple, and I can't say that I've achieved complete financial freedom so far, but I'm absolutely on my way there. I have not been able to completely replace my salary income, but I'm earning enough passive income to pay for the my housing costs, groceries and have some spending money. The hunger to generate passive income needs to be quite strong because in the beginning it takes quite a while and a large amount of effort to ramp up. But as long as you stay the course, you should be able to at least supplement your salary within a several months.

So what's your plan to create passive income?
Everyone's plan will be unique. The goal is to find what you're passionate about and try to figure out how to make money from it. The idea is to come up with a strategy that is scalable without too much extra effort. It might take a while for you to strategize with a plan, but once you find something that interests you, it shouldn't take long.

What is a Passive Income?

Passive income = continuous income derived without active regular effort

Essentially, once you have the passive income coming in, it should continue to keep coming in without any extra effort on your part. Passive income may come from rentals, book royalties, software licenses, licensing fees, investments in businesses, oil and gas, online affiliate marketing, etc.

Adapting Your Thinking
There is no method to legally get wealthy without effort. Anything worthwhile in life takes effort and time. If it was any easy, everyone would pursue it. Initially, it is much less effort to get a job. You get paid for the time you put in. Doing that part is easy. However, if you don't work, you don't get any money. So developing several sources of passive income is definitely worthwhile. Creating passive income requires knowledge, time, work, experimentation and lots of time to think or invest in.

Don't just start something because you see everyone else is making money from it. Find your passion so you will stay with it even during the starting tough times when you don't see any returns on your efforts. Ask successful people how they did it. Stop asking your friends or neighbors with no experience for free advice . Free advice often is usually worth what you pay. NYET! Find a mentor, ask them how they did it and copy them.

Set Passive Income Goals
How much do you need to become financially independent? How much do you need each month to keep your standard of living and life style? Only you can answer these questions for yourself.

Create Your Passive Income Vehicle
My passive income streams include rentals, 2nd trust deads, direct oil drilling programs, dividend paying stocks, and a some sites that get ad income . In all, there are nearly a dozen different sources of passive income.

The road of creating financial freedom is not for everyone. But, I believe if you are willing to take this step and stick with it, you will get whatever you want. Now go get out of the rat race!
