What are the best passive income ideas to invest your money in? How can I generate residual income?
Most people can’t even imagine themselves earning passive income; and those who do, don’t know how to go about it. Before I share the list of passive income ideas with you; I deem it fit to give you the definition of passive income or residual income. In its simplest of terms, passive income is simply income generated without a direct effort. In other words, it is income earned regardless of whether you work or not.
There are different ways to generate residual income and each has its own strengths and weaknesses. Generating passive income is not a big deal; the big deal is the choice of vehicle you intend to use to generate the passive income. Without wasting much of your time, below is a list of passive income ideas you can invest your money in.
A List of Passive Income Ideas to Invest your Money in
1. Real Estate
Rental income from real estate and properties is a form of passive income.
2. Dividends from stock investments
3. Certificates of deposits
4. Profits from businesses you don’t work in
5. Pension
6. Annuity
7. Bonds
8. Royalty
Royalty from intellectual properties such as copyrights, trademarks, patents, contracts and licenses is a form of passive income. You can receive royalty from books written and sold, music, arts, oil block lease, etc.

And finally, I don’t think I can exhaust the list of passive income ideas. Just bear it in mind that any income you earn without your active input is residual income.
