Earn Money from Alternative Income Sources

Alternative income is loosely defined as income not from your day job. Last year I made over $4,000 without working. My main sources of alternative income were earned interest from savings accounts. dividend earnings from stocks and mutual funds, bank account sign up bonuses, credit card sign up bonuses. and other sources of free money. These are all little things that anyone can do if they are willing to save and invest, or have decent credit and half an hour of time to set up an account on-line. Even though most online bank accounts have lower interest rates than a few years ago, I hope to improve on my $4,000 earnings from last year.

There are other forms of alternative income as well. Rental income, royalties, and patents, are just a few of many sources of income outside a traditional day job.

The key to financial health is spending less than you earn. But sometimes the better solution is to earn more than you spend. If you want to earn more money, go out and do it.
