Types of Passive Income🔥💰

Dividends:
Invest in stocks that pay dividends. Companies share profits with shareholders, providing you with regular income.

Rental Properties:
Buy real estate to rent out. After covering maintenance and mortgage, the rent can be pure profit.

Royalties:
Write a book, create music, or invent something. Once it's out there, you earn from each sale or use.

Peer-to-Peer Lending:
Lend money through platforms and earn interest over time.

REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts): Invest in companies that own or finance income-generating real estate, receiving dividends from their profits.

Affiliate Marketing:
Promote products or services online and earn a commission for each sale made through your link.

Automated Businesses:
Set up a business model where operations are largely automated, like dropshipping or digital courses.

Do we have incentivised savings vehicles for varsity education costs in South Africa? Similar to the 529 Plan in the U.S. Also similar to our awesome TFSA incentive.
