Do you know there thousands of ways to earn passive income?
It is amazing that there are so many ways of making money online and not many people know about them. It takes lot of research to find such gigs.
But the biggest challenge with these extra money makers is finding out what is worth your time. I never believed that making money online passively is a possible option. But, now I am convinced.
Do you know that you can earn good extra cash online totally PASSIVE?
Surprised!!! You surely can.
Earning money online passively has many advantages, it gives you freedom to do other things while the money adds up.
My last post about extra money making was helpful to many of my readers, I am really happy for that and it inspired me to find out more easy ways of making extra cash.
Today, I will share with you some unique ways of earning passive income of $1,500 per year without you doing much for it.
So, how do you do it?
There are many big brands and companies doing research on how an average person uses the web, their search trends, and their spending habits.
It helps them to make the products even better and relevant. For this purpose, these brands have some tools which help record the data of the user, that is, YOU.
You have to download their apps; it’s as simple as that. The apps or the software runs in the background and collects data. According to most of these brand websites, there is no collection of private data.
I know $1,500 might not be a significant figure to make in a year, but there is no way you can make that amount without you working for it.
Without making you wait further, here are the passive ways you can make side cash.
Nielsen is the most trusted company in the market research. They use their app to monitor the data usage on the phone, tablet or any other mobile device. The data is kept anonymous, and it does not affect the speed, and the app runs in the background. Â
The cool part is after you register and download the app, you get up to $50 rewards per year.

I am a BIG fan of Swagbucks. It has been a quite a big side earner for me. But the biggest earner for anyone who uses Swagbucks is the TV or watching the videos.
They have three apps for watching the videos, and they can rake up to $80 to $90 a month. All you do is play the videos on your devices and just press the play button intermittently, that’s pretty passive, isn’t it!!
I use Swagbucks for many things, but the videos are the biggest plus for extra cash. Of all the ways of making money from Swagbucks, this is the most passive and most rewarding.
Approx Earnings – up to $900/year

There will be some concerns especially when it comes to sharing your data.
Remember these things:
- Legitimate brands support most of these panels like Google, Nielsen, etc
- If you want to be very sure of the privacy, have a read at their privacy policy before downloading the apps. You can always uninstall the app if you are not happy with it
- Of what I researched, when using these apps, it is better to use a different browser than the one which you normally use
There you have it, all of these together can make a good amount per year. The best part is, all these are PASSIVE ways of making extra cash. Â
Go ahead and start your passive income stream for the new year. You can start planning on how to spend your $1,500 next year!!
