But finding the right income stream ideas can be challenging. There are so many options out there, but not all of them are suitable for your skills, interests, goals, and lifestyle. That’s why I have created this article to help you find the best income streams ideas for you.
In this article, I will share with you 10 income streams ideas that you can consider working from home. These are proven ways to make money on the side online that I have personally tried or learned from other successful online entrepreneurs.
You will learn how to start, grow, and scale each income stream, as well as the pros and cons of each one. By the end of this article, you will have a clear idea of which income stream ideas are best for you and how to get started with them.
So, what are some good income streams ideas you should consider?
10 Different Income Streams To Consider
What I want to do is look at income stream categories and add a handful of programs to them. You can take these ideas and look at them further if you want.
Here they are:
1. Sell a membership. This is what I do with The Wealthy Affiliate Program and help others to do the same while coming up with ideas for their niche.
A membership program needs to have a recurring income stream for it to be passive. When someone upgrades into a monthly membership with Wealthy Affiliate you earn a commission every time they are billed.
You do not have to personally sell the membership over and over. As an affiliate for the program, you get paid today and tomorrow for making the sale yesterday or before.
See how great an idea of membership sales with recurring commissions is as an income stream!

2. Write a book. We are not talking about Stephen King here.
Write an ebook and sell it online. Even better, turn the book into a Kindle Book and sell it on Amazon.
Does that really work? Amazon Kindle has been around since 2008.
The average person earns $5K from their book sale according to stats I saw online. That is money, but is it an income stream?
It is when you develop a brand and keep cranking the books out. Over time Google will rank you for keywords and Amazon will rank you on their site as well. This is where you have an income stream from writing a book.
3. Google AdSense. Start a blog and monetize it with Google Ads. You earn 68% of the ad sale and Google does the selling.
This becomes an income stream when you have traffic coming to your site and clicking on ads even when you are not blogging that day or month. This is one of the benefits of working from home with your website.
The downside is you have to put up a lot of content on your blog. Then you have to market the posts creating backlinks where people can find them and the Google Ads.
4. Joint Venture. How about partnering up with another Internet marketing and creating a niche website?
You do the marketing, blogging, etc. They create info products for the niche.
I love this idea of niches where professionals can really provide value, but do not know how to do Internet marketing. Doctors, lawyers, accountants, etc. Let your mind wander!

5. Rent out a room. Ever heard of Airbnb? People rent out their homes for money when they are not using them.
How about renting out a room, a garage, or a parking spot in your driveway? This is an easy passive income as long as you keep it rented!
6. Peer to Peer lending. Have some cash to invest. How about being a loan shark?
Not really, but you are lending money to people who need it. Join a club like Lending Club and give it a try.
7. The Home Business Academy. Here is a cool affiliate program that offers an 80% commission on selling their mindset, money, and marketing online training.
This is not just another self-help MLM program. As a matter of fact, it is not even an MLM program. It is an affiliate program with a big-ticket product to earn $500 upfront and a $100 a month income stream on the membership.
8. Buy an online business. Ever watched Shark Tank? How involved on a daily basis are the sharks? Not much!
You can do the same thing with websites and blogs. Empire Flippers would be the go-to place if buying a website appeals to you.
Contact website owners and bloggers directly just by Google searching categories. You may find an owner who wants to sell part of their business, but still, be active in it!
9. FBA Amazon. Is a fulfillment program like Amazon really passive? It could be if you partner with someone to keep the products flowing to the Amazon warehouse.
Amazon handles all fulfillment at that point. They pay every 2 weeks for what you have sold.
10. Network marketing. This is the longtime home business income stream that claims to be passive someday.
Is it?
The numbers are starting to prove this true. Websites like Business For Home are showing thousands of people earning big money in MLM.
How big? We are talking about millions per month in some cases. Certainly thousands per month in many cases.
Don’t expect MLM to be an immediate passive income stream. However, as you get a group going most of the product fulfillment is handled by the parent company. A lot of the sponsoring is done online using systems that are already set up for you.

Lots of people look for money for nothing. I agree even with so-called “easy” ways of making money, it is a lot of hard work. It does sure beat the heck out of getting out of bed with an alarm clock though. Rushing to get to a job, only to get stuck in a traffic jam and get yelled at by your boss first thing in the morning.
The only boss that yells at me is myself, and I tell her to keep her voice down. LOL. But, once you do get a system in place it can be very easy after that point. Very good ideas, some I haven’t seen before, I will have to check them out.
When you reach that point of working for yourself, the feeling is so thrilling, that the energy is erupted in you to go further and help others along the way. This is very much possible with the right training and the choice of choosing any income stream to get you there.

Thanks, Bishop for sharing all those as* kicking ideas. I just loved each and every one of those. I think I can really be successful by following those income streams ideas. I have a bit confused about “Sell a membership” concept. You described who that works. Now…
🔸Would you please describe how I can make it happen?
N.B: Please don’t get me wrong. Just before the last paragraph, maybe there is a typing mistake. Please verify that.
Badhan, the company that I am a member of is Wealthy Affiliate. I pay a membership fee for the service I receive. I learn how to build a website and how to market online earning an Income in many ways. the company would give me a commission if I market this membership to others. that is what I mean about selling a membership.
If anyone develops the skills in marketing online and have their unique style and it works, they can do the same by you paying for their service. that in itself means they are selling you a membership where they teach you on a monthly basis and give you the skills that help you to grow your business.
Although I pay a monthly service with WA, I do the same with other businesses that help me in my marketing efforts. Hope you get some clarification here. There was no typo error. all the best.
