My Top 4 Passive Income Ideas
Now, I use every single one of these passive income ideas – they all work very well.
Having more than one passive income stream is the aim, so that your passive income is well diversified.
1. Corporate Bonds that Pay Monthly
I use Corporate Bond ETFs that pay monthly distributions.
At time of writing, these Corporate Bond ETFs pay me about 8-9% per annum and with very little volatility to the principle. The monthly distributions are wonderful for cashflow.

2. REITs for Passive Income
