Simply comb through your photo archives and select any that are of good quality. Stock Photo sites like Shutterstock and iStock can help you sell them. 

This is one example of earning passive income. After you have placed the photos online, you can sit back and wait for people to buy them. Knowing how to generate passive income can free you up to pursue active income.

3. Sell Items Online

In general, we all collect far too many items. This is now your opportunity to go through what you have and turn it into cash. 

Write a clear and honest description of your items and post them to eBay or a similar site. This is a time when many people are looking to purchase new items at a lower price. Make the most of this and de-clutter at the same time.

4. Virtual Personal Assistant

If you are an organized and punctual person, you may already have the skills necessary to become a virtual personal assistant (VPA). 

As a VPA you will be responsible for keeping the calendar of a company manager or entrepreneur. You will make arrangements on their behalf and generally try to save them as much time as possible. 

The beauty of this is that it is all done from the comfort of your home. As a virtual personal assistant, you operate from in front of your computer and by using your phone. Check out freelance worker sites for information.
