It's not exactly passive, but another way to make money many don't realize is through blogging. When I started this site years ago I never thought I could make money at it, but it has replaced the income from my day job. You may think it's crazy to make money blogging, or that you're not technical enough to do it. If I can do it, then I know anyone else can.
I know setting up a website may sound difficult, it doesn't have to be. The most important thing is to get a hosting company that can help get you up and started. A hosting company, like Bluehost, can help you install and launch a WordPress website with one click. If you sign up through my Bluehost link , you can start a website for $2.95 per month plus a free domain name for one year.
I know there are many more unique and crazy ways to make money. Off the top of my head I can think of a few, but really the important thing is to spread the message that if you need to make some extra money but you don't know how, you can absolutely start a business on the side to bring in extra cash.
All you need is an entrepreneurial spirit, a lot of hustle, and perhaps some marketing know how. I definitely won't be shipping snow to anyone anytime soon, but I'm constantly on the lookout for ways to diversify my business so that I have more ways to make money in the future.
What are some weird and crazy ways you've made money in the past? Who do you know who's earning money in a creative way? What do you use the extra money you earn for? Come on; I know you have a story to tell!
