Passive income: How to benefit from your household chores

During your studies, you write many essays, term papers and theses. You also do a lot of research work, close research gaps or find new perspectives on relevant topics. GRIN offers you the chance to share your knowledge and be fairly rewarded for it. Uploading your texts is free and only takes a few minutes. The editorial team then takes care of the publication. You can sit back and profit from every sale of your e-book or paperback. Thus, the publication at GRIN is a prime example of how you can earn money passively during your studies: work once (which you have to do anyway to pass your studies) and then wait for the income! You won’t make a fortune here, but you may be able to afford a pizza or a trip to the movies. And your earnings may still be coming in months or years after the upload, if a customer decides to buy your book. You wouldn’t be the first person to benefit from GRIN for a long time.
