17. SHARE YOUR HOUSE
Airbnb: Airbnb is one of the most well-known sharing economy platforms and is disrupting the entire hotel industry. I’m a fan of Airbnb as a user (I’ve stayed in Airbnbs in Philadelphia, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Turkey and Japan) and think it’s definitely a great way to monetize an underutilized asset under your own roof. We’ve even seen people buying investment properties solely for the purpose of turning them into Airbnb rentals. Your rates are going to be dictated by your local competition, which could be anywhere from $40 to $300 a night.

20. SHARE YOUR KNOWLEDGE
Udemy: With Udemy you can create a video course in your area of expertise, set your own price (up to $50) and put it up for sale on their platform of more than 10 million students. Udemy recently made some pricing and promotion changes that have dramatically cut earnings, but I’ve still earned over $10,000 on the platform and was consistently earning $200 to $600 a month. I like Udemy and platforms like it because you can create the asset once, and sell it again and again.
Skillshare: I’ve also syndicated my courses to Skillshare, where they don’t earn as much, but still bring in some incremental passive income.
