Dividends
If you hold shares in a company, and if the company has generated profits in a given year, it will distribute to its shareholders (you) a portion of its net income through dividends. This can be in cold cash, or by offering additional shares of the company in question. Of course, it is necessary that the company has posted profits for the year, if not the dividends fall to 0 ...

Interests
Perhaps the most common of all forms of passive income. You can literally put your money in a high interest rate account and watch your wealth accumulated through the magic of compound interest. However, with the current rate of around 3% would require a huge amount to generate a large enough interest for you to live. This is not possible. However, I hope you have transferred the funds you would have available in a TFSA anticipated that at least this source of income is not taxed in 2009, up to $ 5,000 per year.
Rent
Income from rental income property, a cottage, a boat or even a room in your current home, may be considered a recurring passive income. Certainly you will definitely manage your tenants move to get your checks or repair the toilet for example (if you do not use caretaker) but if you have carefully chosen your tenants it is still of a reasonably carefree way to generate extra income.
Create a product and sell
This option there interests me. Many people become rich by starting their own business, or patenting a unique product which they own the rights. An author will get royalties on the book he wrote, for example. I recommend you read the biography of JK Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series. It's a real fairy tale. You can also collect royalties for an invention, song, etc ... It is exactly this that my ex has dreamed for days, weeks, months. He designed three music discs, and for at least two of them he imagined he would become wealthy after his records were known. The problem is that it never produced. At least not yet, I sincerely wish him. The point is that once the product created, and popular, money flows freely with truly minimal effort on your part.
Network Marketing
There are many programs that can make money from the work of the people you refer. This type of diet, sometimes also called pyramid schemes, has a bad reputation for many years. In fact, the pyramid scheme as such is illegal in most countries, including Canada. This is due to the fact that many fraudulent companies with no real business model, used this system as a tool to publicize their operations. While holding out the possibility of making money quickly, these companies charge an initial fee for registration. Once enough of the rank of registered, these companies simply closing their doors pocketing all the money. Many people have either lost money in this way, or heard of these lurid stories; suddenly, scalded cat fears cold water, many people are wary of companies that use a reward system for sponsorship. However, there are legitimate companies that proceed from quite honest, and really pay to be refer clients. Commission Junction site can probably enlighten you positively on the subject (it takes a site to be agreed). We can not ignore the fact that this approach is a powerful way to generate income passively.
Blog
Many people think that keeping a blog is a source of passive income through Adsense advertising and other means, and affiliate links; However, it is not really. In general, a blogger will spend hours each day to think and write the contents of his next post, as well as to manage its site. There are bloggers who make huge amounts of money through their sites (I think the most obvious as shoe money or John Chow but also others who earn a very good living with a few thousand dollars per month); they are certainly not the majority. As for me, I do not see myself being part, at least not soon:-)
Misperceptions that may have on the creation of alternative sources of passive income is that they are easy to obtain. Nothing could be further from the truth. If you take the example of the generation of income through dividends or through rent, we need the original principal (the money needed to generate these sources) is high (very high even). To generate this capital there is no choice but to work! In terms of getting royalties, the effort must be devoted to the creation of the product. My ex could talk for hours and hours he set out to design, create, refine, rework constantly these compositions. As for network marketing, efforts should be devoted to building an affiliate network. It is clear, develop alternative sources of income returns to work very hard to start. The preconception that it comes easy especially scams circulating around the way to become fabulously rich while sleeping!
To generate passive income, you must have the right mindset for it. You must complete at least the following conditions;
Understand and accept that although the ultimate goal is to work less to maintain your lifestyle, it is working very hard in the beginning;
Understand and accept the fact that this will not happen in two hours, two days or two weeks. Usually it takes much more time than that;
Always be on the lookout for new ways to create new sources of income;
Understand and accept that most of your ideas will not likely bear the desired results;
Having confidence in your abilities, do not be discouraged. Many people end up succeeding, to different degrees. It's a matter of time, discipline and even fury;
You find pleasure. If you are only greed, you probably will discourage very quickly and you will give up.
If you have what it takes, put yourself in the right frame of mind now! You may one day be able to tell your boss that you resign, and without fear of any repercussions of financial worries:-) This is what I aspire.
