Generating passive income streams that need little continuous work is the key to creating passive income.


How to generate and earn passive income?


1. Investing in Government Bonds, ETF’s and MMF’s

  • Invest in equities that distribute dividends, which are periodic disbursements from a company's profits to its owners. Additionally, you can invest in ETF’s and Index Funds.

  • ETFs and index funds are collections of bonds or stocks that track a certain market index. They offer diversification, passive management, and returns that are determined by the performance of the market as a whole.

  • Purchasing corporate or governmental bonds can yield a regular interest rate and principal repayment when the bonds mature. Ndovu Investment can assist you in making the right investments in these areas so you can get passive income.


2. Invest in Real Estate

  • Acquire assets with the purpose of leasing them to prospective tenants. This can help you earn passive and consistent income stream, but it does need some upfront costs and property management.

  • Companies that own, manage, or finance real estate that generates revenue are known as Real Estate Investment Trusts, or REITs for short. By investing in REITs, you can profit from a portion of the revenue generated by owning commercial real estate without having to fund, manage, or purchase any real estate. 

  • Crowdfunding Platforms ensure you can invest in real estate projects with comparatively small sums of money by using platforms like M-Changa, Agrikaab and LelapaFund.


3. Peer-to-Peer Loans

Through lending platforms, you can lend money to people or small businesses on websites like Uba Pesa and PesaZetu in return for interest payments. When borrowers return their loans with interest, this might result in passive income.


4. Producing and Commercializing Digital Goods

Creating eBooks and Online Courses. By utilizing sites such as Teachable, Udemy, or Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing to write an e-book or develop an online course. Once made, these things require little extra work to sell repeatedly.

Photographers and musicians can sell their images and songs on stock picture and music marketplaces such as Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, and Audio Jungle.


5. Network Marketing

Affiliate schemes through advertising goods and services on your website, blog, or social media accounts to get paid a commission for each sale that is made using your referral link. Popular affiliate marketing platforms are Sharea Sale and Amazon Associates.

6. Revenue from YouTube Ads and Blogging

Make an ad-supported blog or YouTube channel and monetize it. According on traffic and engagement, platforms such as YouTube Partner Program and Google AdSense for websites distribute ad revenue to content providers (Pitchbook).


You can earn through sponsorships. When your blog or channel expands, you may be able to make money through brand collaborations and sponsorships.


7. Invest in Print on Demand 

Design t-shirts, mugs, phone covers, and other items using print on demand technology. Make use of print-on-demand platforms such as Prodigi, which take care of the shipping and printing so you can profit from each sale.


8. Automated Web-Based Companies

  • Operating an online store without keeping inventory is known as drop shipping. The product is transported straight from the supplier to the customer once a customer places an order. 

  • Establishing a drop shipping store is made simple by platforms like Jumia.

  • Subscription services provide a recurring revenue stream by developing a subscription-based service or product, such as a membership site or subscription box.


9. Develop a Software or App

Smartphone Applications, create a mobile application or program that entertains or solves an issue. After going live, the app may make money via in-app purchases, sales, or advertisements.


10. Putting Money into Royalties

  • Invest in royalties from books, music, patents, and other forms of intellectual property. You can purchase and sell royalties from businesses like Royalty Exchange, which offers a cash stream as long as the intellectual property is profitable.



Increasing the variety of your passive income sources will help you create a stronger, more stable financial portfolio. It's critical to fully investigate each choice and comprehend the hazards associated with it.
