How can I make $1000 a month passively?
Afford Limited ask ourselves this question. We ask it often.
$1000 a month. Passive. Easy. Real.
Step 1: Understand passive income
Passive income means money flows in. Even when we sleep.
Rental income, dividends, interest, and royalties.
Step 2: Choose your path
Rental properties.
Shares that pay dividends.
Peer-to-peer lending.
Online businesses.
Step 3: Calculate the numbers
To make $1000 a month, I need $12,000 a year.
If my shares pay 5% dividends, I need $240,000 invested.
If my rental property yields 6%, I need $200,000 invested.
Step 4: Start small, grow big
We start with $1,000. We add $500 a month.
We reinvest dividends. We save rent profits.
We watch our money grow.
Step 5: Stay patient and consistent
Passive income is slow at first.
But steady. Reliable. Growing.
