With real estate rentals, you purchase a property and continue to earn money be renting it someone else, which involves selecting the right property and viable people to rent it out. Marketing opportunities, such as online businesses, pay you for your referrals and their earnings. Creative endeavors, such as selling art or writing, can earn you ongoing royalties.
