Most people think of income as something they must trade their time for, like going to work for a day and then collecting a paycheck. However, passive income is money you earn even when you're not working.
Alternative assets, or alternative investments, are often headline news. Because traditional investments like stocks and real estate are often volatile, and savings accounts only offer low-interest rates, people are looking for other options.
Utilizing real estate is a great way to turn your property into rental income. Airbnb and similar services have revolutionized where people stay when they travel.
And it has opened up serious passive income doors. Unsure how much money you can make? Simply log on to a site and check out what your market looks like. Granted, you've still got to ask yourself: is this money worth the effort?
