Selling your Hair
You can also sell your hair at expensive price. James said:
… if you have thick and healthy hair that you don’t mind cutting, you can earn by selling your locks. Websites like BuyandSellHair.com and HairSellon allow you to post pictures of your hair that can attract potential customers. The good thing about these platforms is that you will be able to negotiate your price according to your preferences.
Eating
Also, eating is also another way to earn some cool funds passively. However, eating in this context is not the usual food you consume daily. It involves eating pet foods; becoming a ‘professional pet food taster.’
“In the line of weird jobs, dog food tester is definitely on the top along with dice inspectors and breath odor evaluators.
While it may not sound enticing, the salary certainly can be. Professional pet food tasters usually make $12-$15 per hour. You can earn between $34,000 – $100,00 annually. This figure surely makes the job more appetizing, even if the food isn’t,” James said.
Be a Human Lab Rat
The most weird and quite risky means of earning a living passively is volunteering to be used as a test subject by pharmaceutical industries to test the efficacy of medicines.
According to James, “because of the high risk involved in undergoing clinical tests, human volunteers are screened judiciously. The Food and Drug Administration regulates these trials to ensure that no one is harmed. Pharmaceutical companies employ FDA-approved screening methods to determine the fitness of a volunteer. On your end, you should also be careful in deciding whether you want to be a human lab rat.”
It is important to note that there are huge ways of earning a passive income by selling your body legally, however, be wary of some health implications of these means. Do consult a professional health practitioner before doing it.
