A couple years ago, we published an article about how to make money with your homestead. And just last week, we published a piece about how to make $1000 a month as a homesteader.
However, the tips in these articles are about active income, not passive income. Active income is where you do the work and get paid immediately (or at least within a few weeks). It's how most jobs work.

Passive income, on the other hand, is where you continue to get paid over time, even when you stop working. Now to be clear, passive income does not require less work than active income. In fact, passive income often requires much more work in the beginning. But in the long run, you're better off.
If you're still confused, check out this list of passive income ideas for homesteaders. It's from the Youtube channel, Better Together Life. As you'll see, some of these ideas will require a lot of effort at first. But over time, they will pay off in a big way.
