Don't We All Want To Keep Earning Even When We Are Not Working

So, to simplify passive income meaning is - Work once, create the content and let it float in the world for people to discover.  

With inflation hitting an all-time high and the requirements for basics increasing, we have realized that one source of income isn't quite enough for living a desirable life. Being a minimalist I have always considered my requirements to be lesser than average. In spite of that, I feel that the income From one salary source is just not enough to run a household. To save anything and to create a world of desires for yourself there is a need to create some secondary source of income. Taking 2 kobs though is not always an option, and even if you do, it is kind of killing your life. Earning is important but at the same time, you should also have a life for yourself. If you take up 2 shifts of work then practically you have no time left for yourself. To resolve this problem, The best option is to create a passive source of income.

The Best Passive Income Ideas  To Earn Money Online in India are :

1. Blog- As a blogger myself, I can say that one of the best ways to do this is to create a blog. You do not need to be a literature student to write. You don't need to be an expert. The only thing which is important is whatever you write should be useful for people. Just knowledge of basic grammar, and understandable vocabulary, and meaningful content is enough to start a blog. To take it to the next level you can learn SEO and other blogging tools very easily. Select your niche and just start building your blog. You can start a blog for free or choose to buy your own domain name.

2. Vlog- With time moving forward I have also noted that the world is becoming more comfortable with videos rather than reading. Even for the lessons taught in schools, there are animated videos available. Hence sometimes the blogging audience can be very limited. With almost free internet available everywhere and with such good network connectivity, people choose to watch a video over reading an article. Hence if you have content you can easily create vlogs on youtube. Though to earn revenue from youtube ads is not an easy journey. You need to have a minimum number of subscribers to your channel and your videos need to be watched for certain hours. 

3. Podcast- Another trend that has picked up is the trend for podcasts. Much like a radio talk show, podcasts are audio logs for whatever content you want to send out in the world. People today love to listen to podcasts and audiobooks while traveling, driving, etc. The reason being people have become more concerned about using their long commute time productively. In such cases, podcasts have gained real popularity in the past couple of years.

4. Book - This isn't as easy as the above 3 but if you have content that you can share with the world, with a little deeper knowledge on writing, and you are ready to put some extra effort, then writing a book can become a very good source of passive income. It can be fiction or non-fiction. The trend for short e-books has also increased in the past few years where people love to indulge in a quick read of 40 mins to one hour. 

5. Photography - If you are good with a camera, this opportunity is for you. Create your own image bank. Websites like Shutterstock Contributor pay you every time anyone downloads your pictures from their website. So get that camera and click all the pictures you want. To gain some extra you also need to put in some extra effort. See what's trending and add related photographs, work on finding the best tags for your photographs to make them discoverable.

6. Design Templates - Now the entire world is going digital. Planners, Worksheets, Posters, and many more design templates are searched for every day. A variety of websites provide such templates at a minimum cost. People also purchase design templates for their Instagram to have an aesthetic profile. If you design templates you can easily earn royalty from websites like Canva. You can also build your own store on Etsy for the same.

The above tools will help you set a passive income source in 2021 where you can build lasting wealth.
