Passive Income Ideas That Actually Work

Create Online Courses

Online courses that help solve a problem or fulfill a need can be a supplemental source of income. It’s similar to writing a book except you need to add some video content as well. Online courses usually include: A “talking-head” video, a screencast of your computer screen as you demonstrate a skill or narrate a set of slides, and downloadable PDF documents. Online courses run anywhere from 4-30 hours and cost between $47-$197 on average (so you make much more than you would on a single book sale). Usually, the longer courses cost more. Your students access your course via an educational site such ask Skillshare, Udemy, Teachable, etc.
