Write and sell an eBook. eBooks are very popular since they are easily transmitted and cost virtually nothing to produce - just your time. You will need a venue to sell your eBook, such as a website, through Amazon Kindle, or through a digital download site like e-Junkie. Read my other articles titled, "How to Write an eBook to Sell Online," and "How to Market an eBook Online." I have written many eBooks and they provide a healthy income stream.

Write and self-publish a book thru a self-publishing company with print on demand service. You will pay a company to a one time fee to print and promote your book. The company I used, iUniverse, pushed my book out to over 250 websites. I didn't have to promote it online, yet I get a nice check every quarter from the online sales.
