Revealing Every Passive Income Stream I’ve Built From Side Hustles

And how much I earn from each one

Passive income is something everyone talks about, but few of us actually are able to create and sustain. It’s a great power, and with great power comes great responsibility.

Over the years, I’ve built up a few passive streams of income that pay me each month for little to no effort.

I didn’t set out on a journey to earn passive income, it kinda just…happened.

I’m a firm believer that the harder I work, the more results and income I’ll see from my work. But getting paid several times each month from projects I created a long time ago is honestly a GREAT feeling.

For example, I was recently out sick and didn’t feel well enough to write or resell (my two favorite side hustles). While I was having fever dreams in my bed, my bank account was getting hit with direct deposits from multiple different angles.

Let me name them for you.

Amazon KDP

Self-publishing is my main form of passive income. Every month I average about $100 in royalties from my books.

I’ve started to get more book sales recently and I’m considering starting on another book soon. The royalties are becoming more worth it for me.

I won’t bore you with too much information about writing books and e-books because I feel like I’m always talking about my self-publishing journey.

However, if you would like to learn more about passive income via royalties and becoming an author, I’ve got you covered.

Amazon ACX

The royalties I earn from my audiobooks every month on Amazon ACX pair well with the royalties I earn from my print and e-books.

I don’t get as many sales from my audiobooks, but a quick $40 each month isn’t too bad at all. Especially when you consider I made the audiobook for free on ACX.

I’m not too worried about increasing payouts from my audiobooks, but I documented a few tips in the article below.

Amazon Associates

You’ve probably noticed by now that a lot of my passive income streams are from Amazon. If you want to know more about starting an Amazon side hustle, see my story below.

Amazon Associates is Amazon’s affiliate link program. This one took me a while to get off the ground, but I’m just starting to receive some payments each month.

Last month, I earned $34 from affiliate link purchases. I built a blog that is growing in readers each month. I advertise products on Amazon’s website using affiliate links and when readers make a purchase, I get a commission.

It’s taken me a few months to get my blog to the level it’s at, but it’s starting to pay me back for my time.

Constant Content

I know Constant Content isn’t truly passive, but it’s pretty hands-off. Each month I made one or two sales for articles that months ago.

Long story short, Constant Content lets writers put their stories up for sale on catalogs. If a client likes what they read, they’ll pay you for that story.

Since writers get to set their own prices, I typically earn anywhere between $40 and $70 each month.

There’s a lot more that goes into the writing platform than that. If you want to learn more about Constant Content, check out my story below.

Let passive income find you

As I previously said, I didn’t set out to create passive income streams. I’m not someone who genuinely believes in making money by sitting on the couch watching television.

However, when I do earn passive income, you can bet I’m super happy about it AND will write about it.
