7 Different Types Of Income Streams For You!

>> THREAD <<
Preface:

We all need more than 1 income stream.

This is non-negotiable.

You never know when tragedy may strike and you're left without any income.

Build another stream, or 2, or 3.

The more the better.
Stream 1: Active/Earned Income

Otherwise known as your ‘9-5’.

You may be an;

-Accountant
-Mechanic
-Therapist
-Doctor

This is the income you receive for exchanging your labour and time, in return for monetary gain.

Can be Wages/Salary.
Stream 2: Passive Income

This is where money works for you, even when you're asleep.

You put some effort in initially and reap the benefits without actively working.

- Courses
- eBooks
- Webinars
- Blogs
- Affiliate (easiest one)
3. Rental Income

This is also a form of passive income, but it deserves its section.

This is the money you receive as a ‘landlord’ at the end of the month when your ‘tenant’ pays you.

E.g. $500 per month per room for a 2 bedroom = $1000 p/m.
4. Dividend Income

Again, another form of passive income which deserves its own section.

When you own a share of a dividend-paying stock, the company will pay you for owning the stock.

E.g. I own 1000 shares of Coca-Cola at a $0.42 dividend per share.
5. Capital Gains

If I own an asset, this could be stocks, cryptocurrency, or real estate for example, and it goes up in value, that's capital gains.

E.g. I bought a house for $250k, it is now worth $500k 10 years later.

That's $250k gained pre-tax.
6. Interest/Staking

This is the money you receive for leaving your capital in a bank account.

Usually a very low % (1%).

You can also stake Crypto, which means holding Crypto in a wallet and receive a % for it.
7. Royalty Income

This is income received for allowing another individual or company to use your intellectual property.

The best example I can give is when your favorite musician releases a song and someone else plays it.

They receive money each time.
Final Thoughts:

I tweet about this and write quite frequently on the importance of >1 income stream.

You don't need 6-7 at once, but at least start with building another one.

It provides peace of mind in case of an emergency.
