Passive income of $1K per month? These 10 methods are the most reliable.

To achieve financial freedom, start with $1000/month. Lawyer and financial expert Erika Kullberg summarizes several core paths:

Investment Type (Most Stable Effect)

• Dividend Stocks + REITs: Stable monthly cash flow, platforms like Vanguard/Fidelity to start.
• Similar REITs: IRM, BXMT, etc., can also enter through Fundrise/Arrived.
• P2P Lending: Annual return rate of 5-9%, $140K investment → $1K/month (can start with small amounts for reinvestment)

Creative Monetization (Start with zero cost)

• Digital products: eBooks/online courses/printable materials, sold directly on Kindle/Udemy/Etsy platforms.
• Content Monetization: YouTube Channel, Blog, Email Newsletter, Affiliate Marketing
• Rental Services: Vehicle/Storage Space Leasing

Key Points ⚠️ Initial time/funds investment is required for setup ✓ There are ways that do not require a large capital (content type is almost zero cost) 💰 Need to calculate tax costs (depending on the type and amount of income) 🔄 Small amount continuous reinvestment is an accelerator

The starting point is not important; persistence in compound interest is the key.
