10 solid passive income ideas for 2024, covering both digital and traditional approaches—perfect if you're looking to make money while you sleep (or at least with minimal daily effort):
1. Dividend-Paying Stocks
Invest in companies that pay regular dividends. It’s a classic passive income stream—you buy the stocks and get paid a portion of the company’s profits every quarter.
🟢 Best for: People comfortable with investing and looking for long-term wealth building.
2. High-Yield Savings Accounts or CDs
Interest rates have been higher lately, making high-yield savings accounts and certificates of deposit (CDs) more attractive than in previous years.
🟢 Best for: Low-risk, hands-off income.
3. Real Estate Crowdfunding
Platforms like Fundrise or RealtyMogul let you invest in real estate projects with as little as $10 or $100. You earn returns via rental income and property appreciation—without managing a property.
🟢 Best for: People who want real estate exposure without being landlords.
4. Create and Sell an Online Course
If you’re knowledgeable in a subject—anything from coding to cooking to productivity—you can create a course and host it on platforms like Udemy, Teachable, or Skillshare.
🟢 Best for: Educators, professionals, creatives.
5. Sell Stock Photos or Art
If you’re a photographer, graphic designer, or illustrator, upload your work to sites like Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, or Creative Market and earn royalties every time someone downloads your content.
🟢 Best for: Creatives with a portfolio.
6. Write and Publish an eBook
Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) makes it easy to self-publish. Write it once, and earn royalties every time someone downloads or buys your book.
🟢 Best for: Writers, experts, or storytellers.
7. Affiliate Marketing
Create a blog, YouTube channel, or social media presence, then earn commissions by promoting products through affiliate links (Amazon Associates, ShareASale, etc.).
🟢 Best for: Content creators or influencers.
8. Print-on-Demand Products
Use services like Printful or Redbubble to design t-shirts, mugs, or posters. When someone orders, the service prints and ships it, and you get paid.
🟢 Best for: Designers or brand builders.
9. Invest in REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts)
REITs are companies that own or finance income-producing real estate. They're traded like stocks and pay dividends.
🟢 Best for: Stock market investors who want real estate exposure.
10. Create a Mobile App or SaaS Tool
If you’re tech-savvy, build an app or a simple software-as-a-service (SaaS) tool. Once launched, users can subscribe and you earn monthly recurring revenue.
🟢 Best for: Developers or entrepreneurs with a niche idea.
