Hi everyone! I created this website to document all the passive income methods that I use to make money. I specifically look for methods that require very little upfront work and can be done by anyone. I updated this page regularly so bookmark it to see the latest ways I have found to make money!
PacketStream runs passively on a desktop or laptop, and automatically sells your extra bandwidth without any involvement from you. The software does not consume much processing power and won't slow down your internet connection because it's configured to only sell "extra" data. In other words, when you are using your bandwidth, PacketStream won't.

GetUpside is an interesting little app that helps you save gas in a novel way. Instead of requiring you to get a special card or input a code at the pump, the app just asks that you fill up at a specific gas station.
When you open the app you will see a list of gas stations which are participating in the GetUpside program. Your savings will range from $0.10 to $0.35, depending on which station you choose. Once you have selected a gas station, simply fill up using whatever payment you want and then snap a picture of your receipt.
GetUpside will calculate how much money you should have saved and then send you that amount through PayPal.

Ibotta lets you can any receipt but it also gives you an option to make more money if you buy specific items. Some of these items come with up to a 100% discount so you will essentially get it for free. The app is by far the most popular receipt scanning app.
Fetch Rewards is a little different from the other receipts on this list because it doesn't pay you for any receipt—only grocery receipts. However, they pay more and you can increase your earnings if you buy specific items.
ReceiptPal is one of the easiest receipt scanning apps to use because they simply accept all receipts. It doesn't matter if you're buying groceries or getting an oil change, they'll pay you for your receipt. The earning per receipt is a bit lower but that's easily made up by the amount they accept.
CoinOut is receipt scanning app that pays you cash every time you scan a receipt. The amount you earn will vary depending on how much you spent but they accept all receipts. The app is really easy to use and pays you in real money (no coins or points) that you can withdraw anytime (no minimum).
Swagbucks has a survey app which allows you to scan any receipts and earn cash back. Similar to the other apps you can earn more by buying speceif items.
Kryptex is the best overall program for earning passive income with your computing power. It's great for beginners and casual users who just want to install a program and then sit back, relax and watch the money roll in.
The Kryptex application can run on any desktop or laptop that runs Windows. A modern PC with a powerful gaming grade graphics card can generate $30-70/month. Install Kryptex software, and it will calculate the exact profitability for your PC.
Note: Your estimated earnings will increase as you earn more cryptocredits by leaving your computer on and running Kryptex.
Minimum Payout: $1 USD or 0.0002 BTC
Payment Methods:
BTC
USD
Amazon
Steam
Rubles
Ukrainian Hryvnia
Kazakhstani Tenge
How to Maximize Earnings:
Keep Kryptex running when you don't use the PC.
Pause Kryptex instead of turning if off completely.
Keep Kryptex running at night.
LoadTeam is the best program for weaker PCs that don't have a GPU. It only uses your CPU power so it will run on any laptop or desktop no matter how weak it might be. If you can't get Kryptex to run on your machine then I recommend looking into LoadTeam as an alternative.
I have written a much more detailed article about LoadTeam in the past which explains the whole process of selling CPU power quite well. I recommend checking it out if you want to learn more.
Minimum Payout: $1 USD
Payout Method: PayPal Only
Your lock screen is a valuable advertisements space and there are many marketing companies that will pay you to place some advertisements on it. Simply install a few apps and you will make money every time you check your phone.
S'more - One of my favorite apps because it is so simple. Once you install the app, you will immediately see advertisements appear on your lock screen. In return, S'more will pay you $0.10 a day. That's a very high payout for this kind of app and, more importantly, it's consistent.
MyRobinHood - Pretty much a clone of S'more and operates exactly the same. You can install it to double you daily earnings.
