text: are there any passive income programs out there that actually produce income?   yes. there are many home based businesses out there. me and my business partner specialise in this area to earn money part time in order to create passive income.   the king of passive income is of course real estate. it will always be like that. however you need the money first to invest in real estate. this is why you are looking for other programs is that correct? the end goal is to ultimately make money from real estate.   please contact me if you want a list of programs we are actively pursuing at the moment  edit: in the end though it is upto you what you want to do. you cannot sit on your arse and expect money to come through. there is always an element of work to be done. work that nobody else is willing to do. if you do the things that others wont do, you will achieve what others can't have.
