Passive income sounds magical, but is it really better than active income? And what exactly is the difference between active and passive income?

Learn: How To Build Your Savings From Scratch

We’ll define both and show you the differences, including which types of income qualify as active and which are passive. Both incomes are required throughout your lifetime, but combining the power of both can help you reach financial independence much faster.

Active Income vs. Passive Income: What’s the Difference?

While both types of income require some sort of work, they are fundamentally different.

Active income requires you to materially participate in a work-related activity to earn money, while passive income comes from owning income-producing assets. You typically need to earn active income first to generate the funds needed to invest in passive income assets.

What Is Active Income?

Active income is the process of working for money and includes things like wages, salary, tips, commissions, freelance income, side hustle income and other work-related income. In most cases, you are trading your time for money.

What Is Passive Income?

Passive income includes earning income without being required to participate in a work-related activity. This includes income from sources like investments, dividends, real estate rentals, business ownership, online businesses, courses, downloadable content, existing YouTube channel, website display ads, affiliate marketing and more.

Examples of Active Income

Here are a few examples of ways to earn active income:

  • Your job. The most common way to earn active income is through your job. Whether you are paid hourly or an annual salary, you show up to work, do your job and get paid.

  • Your business. If you own a business and haven’t hired an operator and management team to handle all of the day-to-day tasks, then you are earning active income. If you are handling any aspect of the business operations, such as sales calls or providing a service, this is considered active.

  • Freelance work. Freelance work is considered active income, as you are providing a service for pay. This might include freelance video editing, writing, software development, legal consulting or any other type of contract work.

  • Gig economy work. Jobs like driving for Uber or Doordash, pet sitting, housesitting or other gig economy jobs qualify as active income.

Examples of Passive Income

Here are a few examples of ways to earn active income:

  • Traditional investments. Investing in the stock market puts your money to work, and you can earn interest, dividends and capital gains from your investments. This is a completely passive activity, allowing you to earn money without doing anything more than investing your funds.

  • Bank Interest. When you deposit your money in a savings account, you can earn passive income based on the account interest rate. Even better, finding a high-yield savings account will pay you a higher rate without having to lift a finger. This is truly passive income.

  • Dividends. Whether you earn dividends from investing in a stock or bond, or if it’s from a business you own, dividends are paid without you needing to work for them. For traditional investments, these are typically paid out on a quarterly or monthly basis.

  • Rental real estate. Rental real estate is one of the best ways to earn passive income, though you do need to invest funds (and time) into getting the property rented and managed. While real estate may require some of your time, once it is rented out and you hire a management team, it can be nearly 100% hands-off income.

  • Online income. While building an online business takes a lot of time, once you have established a system for generating leads and income, you can automate a lot of the process. For larger online businesses, hiring an operations and leadership team can help you simply collect income without participating in the business.

How Are Passive Income and Active Income Taxed?

Active income and passive income are treated differently by the IRS. While active income is typically taxed at your normal income tax rates (and taken from your paycheck directly), passive income taxes can vary, depending on how the income is generated.

Passive income can be taxed at a lower rate, at your regular income tax rate or even at a higher rate, depending on how it is earned. Because investment rules vary widely, it’s best to work with a licensed tax professional when managing taxes for passive income streams.

How Combining Active and Passive Income Helps You Earn More

While active income is the most common way to earn money, passive income helps you earn money without putting in any extra work.

But what if you did both?

Focusing on increasing your active income can help you save more money each month. You can then use the savings to invest in income-generating assets such as investments, businesses, rental real estate or even just depositing it into a high-interest account.

The more you invest into passive income, the higher your annual earnings will be. Eventually, your investments might outpace your active income, and then you will become financially independent, able to live on your passive income alone.

Here’s how combining your active and passive income can raise your overall income:

Over the next five years, if your investments provide an average return of 8% per year, you’ll end up with over $45,000. These funds earning 8% per year can now earn $3,600 in the next year. That’s the equivalent of giving yourself a $1.73 raise, without doing any extra work.

Bottom Line

Both active and passive income are necessary to increase your income and eventually be able to retire. You will most likely start with active income, working for a company, and then slowly transition to passive income over time.

Eventually, you will retire and live 100% on passive income. But you need to start investing in income-producing assets today to build your passive income. This is a long-term strategy — and one that’s required to have a comfortable retirement.

If you’re looking to elevate your lifestyle, enjoy greater financial freedom, and have a more flexible work-life balance, creating passive sources of income can be the answer you’re looking for.


One of the ways to create wealth is to have several income sources. Sixty-five per cent of millionaires have at least three streams of income, according to author and accountant Tom Corley.


Passive income is a type of earnings that requires minimal ongoing effort to maintain. It’s often seen as a way to achieve financial freedom, as it can provide a steady stream of revenue without the need for constant work or direct involvement.


However, building passive income streams typically requires an initial investment of time, money, or both to establish and grow the source of earnings.


Let’s explore some of the top sources of passive income in Canada. Here are some valuable insights and tips to help you design a passive income strategy you can start today.


DIVIDEND STOCKS


When you invest in dividend stocks, you buy shares in companies that pay out part of their earnings to shareholders like you. Pick companies with a strong history of paying decent dividends. Dividends are usually paid quarterly, giving you a nice, steady cash flow.


REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTS (REITs)


REITs let you invest in income-producing properties without actually owning or managing them. They make money through rent and property appreciation and pay out dividends monthly.


A good way to research dividend stocks and REITs is by using stock screeners. You can filter the stocks based on specific criteria, such as dividend yield, dividend growth rate, market capitalization and payout ratio. Examples of stock screeners include Finviz and Yahoo Finance. Stock screeners usually have news sections about the stock so you can stay current with it.


BONDS AND FIXED-INCOME INVESTMENTS


These investments, like government or corporate bonds and Guaranteed Investment Certificates (GICs), pay you regular interest and return your principal when they mature. By building a diverse portfolio, you’ll get a predictable passive income with less risk.


RENTAL PROPERTIES


When you buy rental properties, you’re making money by renting them to tenants. You’ll get a steady stream of passive income through rent, and your property may even grow in value. You can choose to manage everything yourself or hire a property management company to take care of it.


ONLINE BUSINESSES


This category includes ventures like e-commerce stores and affiliate marketing websites. Once you’ve set up your online business, you can earn passive income through sales, ads, or commissions. It takes some effort to start, but the earning potential and flexibility can be worth it.


HIGH-INTEREST SAVINGS ACCOUNTS


These accounts, offered by banks and credit unions, pay you higher interest rates than regular savings accounts. Just deposit your money and watch your passive income grow through interest earnings while keeping your funds accessible and low-risk.


ROYALTIES


When you create something like a book, music, software, or patent and then license it to others, you’ll earn royalties. These are payments made each time your work is used or sold, giving you a nice source of passive income.


BLOGGING


When you start a blog, you’ll be writing about a topic you love and sharing your knowledge with others. As your blog gains traction, you can monetize it through ads, sponsored content, or affiliate marketing. It will take some time to build an audience, but a successful blog can provide a solid source of passive income. I started a Canadian personal finance blog several years ago that generates passive income for me.


ANNUITIES


Annuities are financial products from insurance companies that guarantee you a stream of income for a certain period or even for life. You can buy annuities with a lump-sum payment or a series of payments and choose between immediate or deferred options based on your needs.


EXCHANGE-TRADED FUNDS (ETFs)


ETFs are investment funds that hold a mix of stocks, bonds, or other assets. They trade on stock exchanges just like regular stocks. By investing in ETFs, you can easily diversify your portfolio and earn passive income through dividends and potential capital appreciation.


ROBO ADVISORS


These automated investment platforms use algorithms to build and manage a diversified portfolio for you based on your risk tolerance and financial goals. By investing with a robo-advisor, you’ll earn passive income through dividends, interest, and capital appreciation while benefiting from professional portfolio management and low fees.


VENDING MACHINES


If you own and operate vending machines, you’ll buy or lease machines, stock them with products, and take care of maintenance. As people purchase items from your machines, you’ll earn passive income from the sales.


YOUTUBE CHANNEL


Starting a YouTube channel means creating and sharing videos on a topic you’re passionate about. As your channel gains viewers and subscribers, you can monetize it through ads, sponsorships, or even affiliate marketing. It takes time and effort to grow, but a successful YouTube channel can generate a nice stream of passive income. I have a small YouTube channel that is still generating revenue on videos I made years ago.


STOCK PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEOGRAPHY


If you have a talent for photography or videography, you can sell your images or footage on stock photo and video platforms. Each time someone downloads or purchases your work, you’ll earn royalties, creating a passive income stream. It may require an initial effort to build your portfolio, but as your collection grows, so does your earning potential.


FINAL THOUGHTS


Passive income is a powerful tool that can truly transform your financial landscape, providing you with the freedom and flexibility to pursue your passions and live life on your terms. By taking advantage of the top sources of passive income in Canada, you’ll be well on your way to securing a brighter, more prosperous future.


Remember, the journey to financial independence is a marathon, not a sprint, and it requires dedication, patience, and smart decision-making.

With stubborn inflation and fresh concerns over the banking sector, many Americans find themselves looking for any edge they can get.

Cutting corners and careful budgeting can help – but it might not always be enough. If you’re looking to reduce some financial stress, you might want to consider creating a passive income stream. Fortunately, the internet makes this easier than you’d think. There are dozens of ways to make money online without any special training – like getting paid to take surveys, for example.

10 passive income ideas to help you make extra cash

Before you begin your passive income journey, it’s important to understand what it means. Essentially, passive income is money you’re making from a source or business other than your direct employer. It typically is a task or action performed on the side that doesn’t require a lot of effort (hence why a lot of the suggestions below exist online).

“Passive activities include trade or business activities in which you don’t materially participate. You materially participate in an activity if you’re involved in the operation of the activity on a regular, continuous, and substantial basis,” the IRS explains on its website.

If you’re looking to create a passive income stream, here are seven ways to make some extra cash.

1. Take online surveys

Giving your opinion and taking part in market research can be an easy way to make money online. Some of the more popular survey sites include Survey JunkieSwagbucks, OneOpinion, Opinion Outpost and Ipsos iSay. 

Find out how you can make a few extra bucks from home by taking online surveys now!

Keep in mind: These won’t bring in huge earnings. Swagbucks says its members earn about $1 to $5 per day. Just make sure you do some research before you get started or commit to participating in any online surveys. 

2. Start a blog

Blogs aren’t just for fun these days. They can be quite the moneymaker when done right. The key is to pick your niche, build your audience and then monetize the blog. Just remember: Building a following can take some time, so be patient.

You can do this through affiliate marketing, which earns you a commission when someone clicks a monetized link or buys a product that’s promoted on your blog. You could also try selling and displaying ads on your site. You can use a tool like Google Adsense to get started with the latter. 

3. Sign up for a gig-working platform

There are several platforms designed for online gig work. For example, Amazon Mechanical Turk is a place you can take on small tasks for businesses across the globe. They might include moderating content, taking a survey or transcribing audio. 

Clickworker is a similar platform, or if you have a specific skill – like copywriting, editing or graphic design – you can use freelancing platforms like FiverrFreelancer.com and Upwork to connect with potential clients.

4. Start an online store

If you’re the creative type, you can start up an Etsy shop. Etsy sellers offer everything from jewelry and clothing to artwork, invitations, yard signs and more. 

If that’s not your style, you can start a drop-shipping store. With this strategy, you essentially operate a storefront. When a customer makes an order, you order that product from a third party (typically a manufacturer, vendor, or wholesaler) and ship it directly to the customer. Shopify has a whole dropshipping walkthrough you can use to get started (and you can use their platform to create your store, too).

Shopify encourages users to consider this route and even lists ways it’s beneficial, from reducing your stress to giving you the flexibility to work remotely.

5. Start a YouTube channel

YouTube creators can make a lot of money, and it doesn’t necessarily require much expertise. You can create how-to or explainer videos on virtually any subject or go more personal and put yourself in the videos. You can interview subject matter experts, provide tips and tricks, or even just show yourself playing various video, mobile or board games. 

The important thing is to find a niche and build a following. You can then integrate Google Ads, become a YouTube Partner, and even make money off memberships, live chats and subscriptions.

6. Become a transcriptionist

If you’re a fast typer, you might consider doing some online transcription for cash. You’ll simply need to listen to audio files and then type out what you hear. You get paid per piece, so the faster you can type, the better – at least, financially speaking. Rev.com, GoTranscript and TranscribeMe are just a few of the sites where you can find online transcription work.

7. Test websites and apps

Fancy yourself the tech-savvy type? If so, you can get paid to test out new websites and mobile apps and hunt down any glitches. At UserTesting.com, for example, you get to test new sites and products from brands like GoDaddy, Hello Fresh, HP, Subway and Canva. You just need to have a reliable WiFi connection, a microphone, a computer or mobile device and you can get to work. BetaTesting.comUserZoom and Userlytics are other similar platforms.

8. Sell your photos

If you’re known as the photographer in the family you can make some extra money by selling your photos online. There are websites like Fine Art America in which you can upload your images and have them featured on merchandise that’s then sold on the site. 

9. Become a virtual assistant

More work than ever is being done online following the shift to working from home. It makes sense, then, that remote help will be needed. By becoming a virtual assistant via websites like Indeed (just search for “Remote Virtual Assistant”) you can work for a business in need from the comfort of your home office. The work needed varies – from writing to social media management to traditional bookkeeping – so look around for something that fits your skills and background.

10. Buy and sell domain names

If you’re web savvy then consider purchasing and then selling domain names. Sites like GoDaddy.com can even help complete the sale via an online auction. Or just simply buy names you think may be interesting in the future (think entertainment, sports and political events). You can then put your contact information on those URLs and offer to sell them to anyone looking to buy. 

More ways to earn quick cash

If none of the above seem like a fit, do some research. You can also review news apps, websites and more.

There’s a side gig for everyone. You just need to figure out your perfect fit. Start making money by taking surveys now!
