40+ Alter­na­tive Income Ideas and Resources

When I wrote Build­ing, Diver­si­fy­ing, and Shift­ing Your Income Streams, there was an impor­tant ele­ment that I left out. That ele­ment was some prac­ti­cal real life ideas about how you can start build­ing alter­na­tive income streams today. It is worth not­ing that not all of these are pas­sive income ideas, so you will actu­ally have to actively work for these income streams to grow.

In com­pil­ing this list, I did my best to avoid any sort of scams, and stay with prac­ti­cal ideas that work. I have not used all of these ideas, but I have used, or am using, many in this list.

Also, it’s impor­tant to note that some ideas may be worth­while for you, some may not, depend­ing on your finan­cial situation.

Alter­na­tive Income Ideas:

In addi­tion to basic ideas such as start­ing a busi­ness, get­ting a sec­ond job, and learn­ing how to invest here are money mak­ing ideas you can try:

1. Build a CD Lad­der using high yield cer­tifi­cates of deposit.
2. Switch to higher inter­est sav­ings account.
3. Peer to peer lend­ing on var­i­ous social lend­ing networks.
