What is passive income?
According to good old google ''Passive income is a type of unearned income that is acquired automatically with minimal labor to earn or maintain. It is often combined with another source of income, such as a side hustle.'' Some passive income streams require a 'set up' or 'start up' cost and some require no outlay, those are probably the best ones to start with!

How can I earn a passive income?
There are a number of different ways you can earn a passive income, in this post I'm going to talk about 3 different ways that are ideal because they benefit from have no set up cost (though do require you have access to the internet)

2. Blogging
No set up costs, unless you want a personalized domain name. Easy to get started and no special equipment or software needed.
Blogging is one of the easiest ways to earn a passive income though you do need to have the ability to come up with interesting and captivating content. It is usually best to have a niche blog and focus on writing content specific to this niche. You will also need to set the blog up and add content to it in advance of linking it with your chosen advertising platform (which is how you can make a passive income) as they require the blog to be active before approving as a site worth linking with.
3. Designing and 'drop shipping' physical products such as clothing, accessories and homeware.
No set up costs. Requires you to be creative and to set up an account with a drop-ship style company.
There are a variety of companies out there that offer drop shipping, once you have found one that suits your needs it is about creating the product designs that people will be interested in, loading them to the platform you choose and then promoting to get people buying them.
