How can I make $1,000 a month in passive income?

The secret is that “passive” usually starts out very active. You put in effort up front to build something that earns on its own later. Here’s the leap‑friendly way to get there:

1. Pick your lane: digital products (courses, templates, ebooks), affiliate marketing, rental income, dividend‑paying investments, or a content platform with ad revenue.

2. Leverage your Zone of Genius: create something you’re uniquely qualified to teach, build, or share, so the work is enjoyable and sustainable.

3. Build once, sell repeatedly: for example, a $50 product that sells 20 copies a month = $1,000. Or $250 in dividends from investments + $750 from a downloadable resource.

4. Automate delivery and marketing: use systems so you’re not manually chasing sales or clients.

5. Compound: reinvest the earnings to grow faster.

The leap mindset here: start small, prove the concept, then stack more streams until $1,000/month becomes $2,000, then $5,000. Passive income is freedom fuel, but it starts with taking imperfect action today.
