New markets are presenting a lot of opportunities for businesses, but more friction raising funds, so there’s an opportunity for higher lending rates to businesses that you can benefit from.įor smaller investors, there are basically two realistic options to earn a decent amount of passive income that’s also accessible: Cryptocurrencyįor a more flexible investment that also pays more than bank savings accounts or ISAs, you need newer markets such as Cryptocurrency. In general, you have much easier access to your money in an emergency. Savings accounts are simpler: you deposit some assets, and you earn more assets over time. The Government also has favourable taxation rules for ISAs. Your passive income from stocks and shares comes from any change in the value of the assets and a share of the profits of the underlying assets (a dividend). It’s a long-term investment that locks up your funds and you can still lose some money, but it’s a popular option given that bank savings accounts pay so little interest these days as to be almost worthless, especially when inflation is eating into the value of your capital. There are a confusing number of funds that have different degrees of risk and global coverage, the general idea being that you buy into a basket of investments of a certain risk level that balance each other out: losses on one might be more than compensated by wins on another. Most “conservative investors” would traditionally choose to invest in something like stocks and shares ISAs. The most important things to establish are: (1) how much risk do you want to take, (2) what’s the time period you want to invest for, (3) are you likely to need access to your funds unexpectedly, and (4) how much do you want to invest (“never invest any money you can’t afford to lose”).
Making a choice of where to invest is difficult. If it goes down, you can end up with less than you started with. That means the value of the underlying asset can change. The general difference between the two is that when you invest in something, it’s investing in an asset of some kind. So, the two passive income methods that are “set and forget” are saving, and investment. You’ve read this far, so *congratulations*, you qualify as wise!
As for “pet-sit at home”, I’m not sure that the person writing that has ever met an actual pet if they think only light supervision is required.ĭown in a regular-person city, the only really practical way to earn a passive income is to take your assets and make them work for you: money makes money, it’s really that simple. We’ve read many different ideas ourselves many of them are comically impractical for the regular person: such as “start a vending machine business” or “buy a company” since they require substantial assets or effort up-front. Here at AQRU, we’re fans of simple “set it and forget it” solutions. There are lots and lots of different ways of making a passive income. Even self-publishing an e-book is useless without spending your time advertising it to people: the days of “build it and they will come” are long gone. Trading or e-commerce aren’t really passive incomes: while it’s true that the amount you get isn’t dependent on how much time you spend, you still have to do accounts, advertise, manage stocks, etc. In fact, the wealthy wouldn’t dream of having it any other way!Ī passive income is, simply, the income you get without having to do anything extra after you’ve set it in motion. It’s everyone’s dream to be able to have an income that doesn’t involve you swapping large chunks of your life for money.
