Businesses That Make Money While You Sleep

Just imagine going to sleep in the night and getting out of bed the next day with cash in the bank. The fact is, there are many businesses that make money while you sleep or hang out with family or engage in any other activity.

Having said that, here are a few of my favorite businesses to do just that.

Businesses That Make Money While You Sleep

Blogging

One of the most common ways to rake in a passive income is by starting your own blog. It just takes a few minutes to build and is very affordable to start – just buy your domain name and pay for hosting.

Create Amazing Content in Areas You Excel At

Afterward, start coming up with amazing content that people might possibly be interested in reading or talking about.  For instance, if you’re an accountant that has assisted small enterprises with their taxes, then that can be your blog. In reality, there are a few invoicing blogs to help people know everything there is to know about invoicing. This attracts a huge number of signups monthly running into thousands.

Monetize the Blog

There might not be as many people checking out your site to monetize it at the very beginning, but as soon as you’ve gained a following, you could start making money from your blog in several ways.

Affiliate Income

Earning commissions as an affiliate is when you market other people’s services or products on your blog.

Advertising

If your site has the traffic to emerge as an affiliate, then it can also be good enough for advertisers to purchase ads on your site.

Marketing Your Own Information Product

In case you’re experienced and well-informed in a particular area, then you can start making products, like eBooks or videos, and marketing them on your blog. It can take a great deal of work to create and market your products, but as soon as all the legwork is over, you can sit back and accumulate the proceeds.

Build a Membership Community

If you’ve proven yourself to be an authority in this market, then you can build a membership community that people pay a monthly fee to get top quality content and information that’s inaccessible to non-members.

Flip Websites

If you’ve invested the time and energy in developing a website and you have gathered a lot of traffic, then you might be able to sell it to an interested party by listing on marketplaces like Flippa.

Market Physical Products

Similar to a blogging site, there are lots of ways to earn a passive income by promoting physical products. Without a doubt, one of the best ways is by selling your old junk on eBay. However, even if you don’t have anything left to sell you can start drop shipping. This is when you sell products for a company on eBay or Amazon, and they’ll handle the rest — which includes shipping.

Invest in Stocks or Shares

Once you invest in stocks, you become a stakeholder. That entitles you to a share of the company’s profits. Putting money into stocks continues to be a preferred way to gain a passive income for a long time. Thanks to the internet, it’s more convenient than ever to research and invests in stocks independently.

Final Thoughts

While these businesses may require upfront work, you’ll soon reap the rewards of owning one or more of the businesses that make money while you sleep.

MANAGE YOUR MONEY TOGETHER

Here are some simple guidelines for DINKS to build wealth:

1) Collaborate: Meet regularly to talk about money, set goals together, track and monitor them.

2) Understand and respect your partner. Take time to understand your partners values about money.

3) Watch the numbers. Get a budget, monitor your spending and track your net worth.

4) Max your retirement. Maximize contributions to your tax deferred retirement accounts.

5) Invest in stock. Stocks perform better than bonds or cash.

6) Avoid high interest debt. Credit cards and title loans are financial cancer.

7) Diversify. Don't put all your eggs in one basket.
