What Is Passive Income, Really?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Passive income is money earned with little to no daily involvement once the system is set up. It\u2019s different from your 9-to-5 salary, where you trade time for money. Instead, passive income lets you earn continuously from work you\u2019ve already done<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

There are two main types<\/strong> of passive income:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Investment-based passive income<\/strong> \u2013 Think dividends from stocks, rental properties, or peer-to-peer lending.<\/li>\n
  2. Business-based passive income<\/strong> \u2013 This could be selling digital products, affiliate marketing, or running an automated online store.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
