INCOME

WHAT IS INCOME
Income refers to the money that an individual or entity receives in exchange for labor, services or investments. There are different tyes of income and here’s an overview of the different aspects of :

TYPES OF INCOME:

• Earned Income: This is income derived from employment or self-employment, such as wages, salaries, bonuses, and tips.

• Investment Income: Income generated from investments, including dividends from stocks, interest from savings accounts, bonds, and rental income from property.

• Business Income: Earnings from owning and operating a business. This includes the profits after expenses have been deducted.

• Capital Gains: Income from the sale of assets or investments, where the selling price exceeds the purchase price.

• Passive Income: Income that requires minimal effort to maintain, such as rental income, royalties from intellectual property, or income from a business in which the individual is not actively involved.

Passive Income requires little to no effort to maintain once they are established. Unlike active income, which requires continuous work, passive income allows you to earn money even while you're not actively working.

These are examles of passive incomes one can venture into:

• Rental Properties
• Real Estate Crowdfundinng
• Dividend Stocks
• Dividend-Paying Stocks
• Peer-to-Peer Lending
• Lending Platforms
• Digital Products
• E-books Writing
• Online cources
• Affiliate Marketing
• Blogging/Vlogging; e.t.c,

That is why i am so grateful to this platform @steemit for giving us the grounds to build and earn at the same time. Thank you very much.

Life is full of ups and downs,and I know that there has been inflation in the country, resulting to low income gain for some of us, and sometimes it can feel like the obstacles are too big to overcome. But you are not alone in this journey. You have already shown incredible courage and determination, and I have no doubt that you will continue to do so.

Remember, it's okay to take things one step at a time. Even the smallest progress is still progress. Allow yourself to rest when you need to, but never lose sight of your goals and dreams. You have the power to achieve great things, and I am here to support you in my own little way.

Keep pushing forward, and don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. You are surrounded by people who care about you and want to see you succeed. Trust in yourself, and know that brighter days are ahead.

I'm rooting for you,do not stop pushing ,in your various endeavors, so as to ensure financial freedom sufficient for our retirements, so help us God, Amen. And I believe in your ability to rise above any challenge. Keep going, and never forget how strong you are.

With my warmest regards,Favour.
