Passive Income is Financial Freedom

by Troy Smith

Would you rather work 40 hours a week to achieve the same amount of income as someone else makes working an hour a week? The answer to this question is pretty obvious, yet many people do not know to make this happen. A great financial legend, James D. Rockefeller, once said that he would rather earn from 1% of 100 people’s efforts than 100% of his own. He couldn’t have put it any better. Do you find it hard to make enough to get by?

The solution to this problem is the idea of a passive income. Passive income is the money-making principle that separates your time from your work. Once you set up a stream of passive income, it is on autopilot and you will have the opportunity to make money while working on other interesting projects.

Even if your financial situation seems like it cannot get any worst, it will if you continue to work harder and not smarter. Inflation tells us that we need to earn about $225,000 a year just to earn what the average household did in 1968! That trend does not seem to be stopping anytime soon, so now is the time to start thinking about a passive income.

One way to create a passive income is the idea of residual income. This is a monthly income from something that you put time into investing only once. You can establish a residual income by selling unique, electronic products online to a stream of customers. This method is entirely automated by allowing digital delivery and payment.

A way to establish this residual income is through e-books and PayPal. You can even purchase the resell rights to pre-existing e-books and simply buy the rights from there. However, this is not the best and most efficient way to have a passive income. You need to apply leverage to have this automated income perform at its best.

The idea of leverage is exactly as Mr. Rockefeller put it - have other people do your work for you. You can pay people a respectable income to create you more income. You will need to invest money to make this happen, but it is much more powerful and effective if you can successfully apply labor income. This approach can easily double your earning potential.

Active leveraged income, on the other hand, does involve your immediate contribution. Despite this, even more money can be earned by means of getting more people drawn in. It also mostly only includes a single occurring event. Even though you have to take part in the creation of an active leverage income, the prospects of making money are greatly increased in comparison to if one were simply paying you an hourly wager.

You can have the freedom to do whatever you want to do and be whatever you want to be sooner than you think without being concerned about money. If you can simply create an item people will continuously purchase, encourage others to assist in the resale of your product, and find methods to make money off of the labor of other people, you will establish this freedom that you, and many others like you, have been searching for their entire lives.
