 TITLE: How to Make Passive Income CONTENT: Quick Ways to Earn Passive Income\n---------------------------------\nIf you want to start earning passive income quickly, there are a few ways to go about it. The options below require a minimal financial investment, so if you're tight on cash, you can still get started right away.\n*   **Open an investment account.** There are more options than ever for diving into investing. You can take a traditional approach and set up a fund through a bank or investment advisor, or you can use a mobile app to start investing immediately. There are even micro-investment apps that build up your investment in small increments over time. The Acorns app, for example, links to your checking account and rounds up every purchase you make to the nearest dollar, putting your spare change into your investment fund. That can be a low-cost way to start investing, and you can ramp up your deposits as you earn more money. Investing comes with significant risk, so it's best to only use extra income you don't need to put toward other necessities.\n*   **Rent out a parking space or spare vehicle.** If you live in a city with a parking shortage, you might consider renting out your street space or a spot in your driveway or garage. No one likes to walk a mile from their car to the office, so you may be able to earn a few hundred dollars each month just by letting someone park at your home on weekdays. You can also rent out your vehicle through car-sharing apps such as Turo and Getaround. Another option is renting your vehicle out to Uber and Lyft drivers through HyreCar. At the very least, you may be able to cover your monthly auto loan payments by making your car or parking spot work for you.\n*   **Use a cash back rewards credit card.** Many credit cards come with a cash back rewards feature, which is a great way to earn money while you shop. Look for a card that offers rewards in categories you often use, such as groceries or restaurant meals. That way, you can accrue extra cash every time you use the card. If you're not sure which cash back card to choose, Experian CreditMatch™ can help you find an option.\n*   **Sign up for cash back or coupon apps.** A number of sites, such as Rakuten and Ibotta, allow you to earn cash back by using their browser extensions and earning rewards when buying from a wide range of brands. You can also sign up for coupon sites and apps (think RetailMeNot, Honey and Coupons.com) that provide promo codes and deals for a variety of products. END
