  • The dream of earning money while you sleep is as desirable as ever, but not all passive income strategies stand the test of time.

The article by Melissa Houston on Forbes, published on February 3, 2025, discusses various passive income strategies that remain effective in 2025, as well as those that have lost their effectiveness. Key strategies that still work include investing in real estate through rental properties or real estate investment trusts (REITs), creating digital products like e-books or online courses, and leveraging dividend stocks for steady income. Peer-to-peer lending and affiliate marketing are also highlighted as viable options, provided one does thorough research and manages risks. However, the article notes that strategies like relying solely on savings accounts for passive income are less effective due to low interest rates, and traditional methods like buying and holding physical rental properties might not be as lucrative due to increased competition and management costs. Additionally, the article warns against get-rich-quick schemes and high-risk investments like cryptocurrency without understanding the market, as these can lead to significant losses rather than passive income.
