How many crypto millionaires are there in the world? Just take a guess.
1K? 5K?
10K? In fact, you can stop the video and write
down your guess in the comment section. Let's see if you can guess it right.
According to the cryptocurrency data-tracking firm BitInfoCharts, there are over 100K people
who have at least $1 million or more stashed in BITCOIN. That figure was up from just 25,000
BTC millionaires four months ago. And a year ago, there were only 15,000 bitcoin millionaires.
Imagine if we count in all the millionaires who hold different kinds of cryptos such as
Ethereum, dogecoin, bitcoin cash, Stella, and many more.
I think there are a few hundred thousand of them.
But you know what I like more than bitcoin? Passive income!
When you put the work upfront and then enjoy the cash flow that comes in afterward. Of
course, it might need a little management, but overall, with a minimum amount of effort,
you keep receiving that paycheck every month or every week.
It might seem like you need a lot of money to build at least one or two sources of passive
income but not today. I mean, people are creating wealth out of nowhere, like in the case of
cryptos. What makes you think that you can't build at least one if you have an Internet
connection. So let me share with you five passive income ideas that you can implement
right now, right after watching this video. It doesn't matter if you have a full-time
job or if you don't have a lot of money. These passive income ideas can be implemented literally
by anyone. So if you are ready, all you have to do is
to give this video thumbs, just crash that like button and let's start with the first
one.
License your pictures
In the age of the internet, you can monetize pretty much anything, even your pictures.
You probably have heard this a million times, but I am going to give you a practical way
to turn your picture into passive income. This is not a scam! Although it sounds like
one. You see, content creators have to come up
with content, and not everyone is ready to go and shoot videos or create illustrations
such as this one, so our team, for example, relies on external sources to get these illustrations.
Others use video footages or pictures to create videos such as business casual, economics
explained, or even our second channel bloom. And we use tools such as Shutterstock, for
example, to get these images. All you have to do is upload your pictures or videos to
these kinds of websites, and whenever someone would use your picture, you are going to get
paid a small commission. In fact, you can start uploading the exact
same pictures you have on your Instagram; it doesn't matter if they are pictures of
your own or nature. As long as they look decent, you can give them a try. You are going to
create passive income out of thin air.
But what If you are not a fan of pictures? What if you don't take pictures at all, or
you are just bad at taking pictures? well, don't worry because you can
2. Monetise your ideas
Sounds too good to be true. Before you jump to conclusions, let me explain.
You are probably interested in something. It could be financial education, stock market,
college, art, doesn't matter, there is at least one thing you are interested in.
What if I told you that instead of just sharing your ideas or opinions or knowledge with your
friends over a drink on Friday night, you can share them with the world and monetise
them. That's what blogging is. You don't necessarily have to make videos.
I get it! Ittakes time, money, and effort, but writing down your thoughts is easy.
Just set up a website and turn your ideas into articles such as this one. (My blog)
and put some ads on your website through google Adsense. Every time someone opens your article,
they would come across an ad, and you are going to get paid a small commission for every
ad that appears on your blog, which could turn into thousands of dollars if enough people
read your blog. But you might say, setting a website takes
days or weeks to build? Or at least a few hours!
Not anymore! Recently I have come across Zyro, one of the
best website builders on the market who gladly agreed to sponsor this video.
I am not praising them just because they sponsored this video but rather take a look at this
website? Everything from creating the website to making
sure every page looks nice and beautiful took me less than 15 minutes. You can literally
visit this website that I have created in 15 minutes using the link in the description.
Whether you are launching a business, a blog, or you simply want to share your thoughts
and Monetise them to create some passive income, you need Zyro.

or online store. All you have to do is drag and drop, No coding or design skills needed.

Another way to monetize your blog is though
3. Affiliate marketing
If your blog is about fitness for example because you are trying to lose weight and
build some muscles. In your blog, you might recommend some protein shakes or apps that
would help you to track your calories or help you exercise more effectively. Pretty much
every service has an affiliate program which means, you will get paid anything from 1 percent
to 10 or even 20 percent if someone uses your link to buy that product.
If someone would read your blog and would get value out of it, they would definitely
use your links to buy that product since you have established trust with them.
Every time I talk about books, for example, I make sure that I put an affiliate link down
in the description, so those of you who are interested in buying that book, you can do
that using my link, and we will get a small commission that will help us grow the channel.
You are not going to overpay. That company or, in this case, Amazon would share with
us a tiny percentage out of the sale for driving that traffic to their store.
Of course, with one or two links, you aren't going to go far, but imagine if you have dozens
of articles and dozens of links. You might drive hundreds if not thousands of people,
and that small commissions will turn into a decent amount of money over a month.
4. Put some ads on your car
It sounds like a joke, but there is actually a way to make money by putting ads on your
car. It's so weird that there are so many ways
you can make money through ads. What an age are we living in?!
Think about it. You drive your car anyways. You might drive every morning to your office,
drop your kids at school, or just hit the hypermarket to do your groceries. Why not
let your car generate some income while you are doing that.
I know that putting ads on your car seems like too much. You might feel a bit too uncomfortable,
but who cares, you are earning money, and in case if you get tired of that, you can
get rid of it whenever you want. You can expect to earn anything from 100 - 500 dollars per
month. Especially if you have a car loan, it's going
to pay for your car.
But be carefree because there are a lot of scammers in this industry.
It's going to take you some time to find a proper company that's willing to put ads on
your car, but then you can forget about it while you will get a few hundred dollars every
single month for just driving your car.
And finally 5. Government bonds
This is probably the easiest and the safest source of passive income. It doesn't require
any skill or even effort. You are basically going to loan your money
to the government, and in return, the government is going to pay you interest for that.
The government is going to take your money, and spend it on the infrastructure or schools
and so on to improve the productivity of the citizens and in return, their income would
rise, and they will pay more taxes which the government is going to use to pay you back.
But you don't have to wait for the government to pay you back. You can simply sell it in
the secondary market. Government bonds vary from 3 months to 30
years. The longer the period is, the higher the interest. 10-year-old bonds, which are
the most popular ones, have a yield of 1.61 percent now, which is not that high, but you
have to understand that interest rates are extremely low right now, so do government
bonds.
When the fed is going to raise the rates, bond rates will rise as well. It might not
be the best option now but will be in the coming future because sooner or later, interest
rates will be raised. At least it's a much better option than keeping
your money in a bank that doesn't even pay a one percent interest.
But on the other hand, it's a safe investment! What are the chances that the US government
will go bankrupt?
Pretty low if not zero since the US government is the source of the dollar.
So if you want a safe passive income that doesn't require any effort! Then government
bonds are your ideal option. There are hundreds if not thousands of ways
to create passive income, especially in the age of the internet. You might not be able
to implement all of them, but you can at least create one.
