Investing can be a great way to build up your wealth in the long term. But did you know that it can also be a fantastic way of getting some extra income on the side?

If you invest your money wisely it can not only be a terrific way to build wealth, but also a terrific way to get some passive income and achieve financial freedom.

Here are 4 ways to get some income by investing.

1. Stocks

Buying and holding stocks is a long term investment strategy. However it does also offer a short term reward. Top dividend paying stocks pay their shareholders money over a regular basis making owning stocks just like owning a money tree.

It is a nice way to make a little extra passive income. Howevere there is one problem with this strategy. If you want to make a large income from it you are going to need to invest a lot of money into stocks.

2. Trading

You can trade any markets, Stocks, Forex, Commodities, etc. Trading is simply the process of getting in and out of a security in the short term. It may take a while to learn, however if you get it down trading can be a terrific way to grow your money or to even get some extra income.

Trading has some nice benefits over simply buying and holding stocks. For one thing it allows you to get more out of your money, so that you do not have to invest one million dollars or more to get a livable income. It also can be more flexable and make money in both bull markets and bear markets.

3. Real Estate Investing

Real Estate investing is another interesting way of building up your passive income. Here is how it works. You buy a house and rent it out. The difference between what you rent it out for and any expenses that you may have on it is your profit.

The great thing about investing your money into real estate is that it only gets better as time goes by. Over time you slowly pay down the mortgage, so eventually you will own the house outright.
