17. Rent out unused space with Airbnb.
Airbnb is a concept that has only been around for a few years, but it has exploded around the globe. Airbnb allows people to travel all around the world and to stay in accommodations that are a lot less expensive than traditional hotels. They do this by staying with participating Airbnb members who rent out part of their homes to travelers. By participating in Airbnb, you can use your residence to accommodate guests and earn extra money just for renting out space in your home.

Paula Pant, cubicle renegade AffordAnything.com took a stab at making extra money renting out locations exclusively through Airnbnb. Her Airbnb experiment netted her an extra $19,000 in revenue and 1 police visit!

How much you will make will depend upon the size and condition of your home and your location. Naturally, if your home is located in a high cost city, or close to a popular resort, your income will be much higher. It's a way of earning money on space in your home that might just be sitting empty otherwise.

18. Build an app.
Apps can be an incredibly lucrative income source. Think about how many people today have smartphones. Come on, it's just about everybody! People are downloading apps like crazy — and for good reason . . .

Apps make people's lives easier. Whether it's an app that helps people put together nice pictures for their blog or an app that keeps track of tasks, there are helpful apps out there for everyone.

You might be asking if there are so many apps out there, why would you want to attempt to create an app? Isn't there a lot of competition? Well, yes, but fresh, creative ideas can win. If you can come up with something unique, you can make quite a bit of money. Simple — yet unique — apps can be pretty passive.

Don't know how to code? No problem. First, you can learn. Check out Nathan Barry's success in his inspiring article, "How I Made $19,000 on the App Store While Learning to Code." Nathan also put his design expertise to work in an ebook teaching others how they can design their own apps.

Second, you can hire a developer to build your app based on your idea. This could end up being an expensive option, although it will probably yield a professional-looking app.

The end result is an app that has the potential to make you some relatively passive income. Don't downplay the idea to build an app — it's a good one!

19. Create an online course.
Everyone is an expert at something. Why not create an online course about your passion?

My buddy Ramit Sethi at IWillTeachYoutobeRich.com is an expert at creating online courses. He has made an insane amount of money selling his lessons. Most people would be happy making a fraction of what he makes online.

There are a number of ways you can produce and host your own online course. One very simple way is to use a website like Udemy.com. Udemy as over eight million students and is a great way to get your content in front of others for their consideration.

Once you create an online course, it can work for you while you sleep!

What do you put in your online course? Good question. You can add video lessons, checklists for completing steps you recommend in your video lessons, small ebooks to supplement the lessons, audio files for people listening while traveling, informative interviews with like-minded experts, and a whole bunch more!

In fact, you can create several packages at different price points. Some people will want everything, so you can include ‘the works' for the highest price point and then have two lower price points so that you can receive the largest possible volume of orders.

20. Make an online guide.
If writing articles or creating videos isn't your thing, and you want to make money online, try creating an online guide.

A good example of this comes from Pat Flynn's website, SecurityGuardTrainingHQ.com. On the website, he has a map of the United States that allows someone to click on any state to see the security guard requirements for that state.

By providing specific information in a guide-like format, you can make money through some of the means already addressed: advertisements through Google AdSense, affiliate links, and even memberships you can sell from your online guide. It's a fantastic idea!

21. Outsource most if not all of your business needs.
If you're spending too much of your time on an existing business running it yourself, why not outsource most if not all of your tasks? Yes, it will require you to give up some control, but in many businesses it's the only way to free up your time so you can focus on other tasks that will result in more income.

If you don't want to hire employees, consider hiring freelancers who work as contract laborers. Look for freelancers with a strong work ethic who provide quality results.

Here's a list of tasks that you might want to outsource:

Bookkeeping
Writing
Web design
Editing
Task management
Social media marketing
and so much more!

Yes, many people can turn their existing businesses into passive income businesses. As long as the main product or service isn't something only you can do, you can transform your business into a passive moneymaker.

22. Make money for tasks you'd do anyway.
Yes, you can make some money doing some of the things you're already doing.

For example, InboxDollars allows you to make money by playing games, shopping online, searching the web, and more! Swagbucks also allows to make money doing similar activities. It's amazing. Take advantage of these websites and make some extra money!

I've purposely provided a long list of passive income ideas in the hope that there is something on this list for everyone.
