Passive Income Resources

Finance

Passive income is our key to financial freedom. The more passive income we generate, the less dependent we are on our job. At one point, when our passive income exceeds our expenses, we can stop working anytime we want and still live the lifestyle we desire. That is financial freedom.

But passive income takes time to build. You can’t expect to start working on it now and be financially freedom next year unless you are very lucky. So the best time to start is now. The earlier you start working to build your passive income, the sooner you will reap the results.

That’s why I put together this list of free passive income resources. There are a lot free passive income resources out there, but I put only the useful ones here. I hope this list can be a starting point and a companion in your journey toward financial freedom. The list starts with the definitions followed by the e-books, articles, and audio resources.

    1. Hi Kirk,

      There are many ways to make residual income. One is to offer free Rx discount cards. You make money, per script, each month.
      Another way is to sell discount dental plans. You get 35 percent per dental program sold. Feel free to contact me at tan.frazier@gmail.com
