In this article, I will talk to you about a way you can make passive income from the internet just by having your computer on.

I know it sounds too good to be true, but believe me, all you have to do is keep your computer open and it will generate income for you.

Most of the passive income methods you find on the internet do not really offer passive income. It’s kind of semi-passive.

So you have to do something, even for a while, to achieve this passivity.

Don’t imagine that you will make thousands of euros every month with this method, but you can certainly make 20-50 euros a month (maybe more with a little work).

Now, you might say, 20-50 euros a month is not much… But if you think about it, what have you got to lose?

Absolutely nothing. Just win.

Anyway, this method requires you to download some programs to your computer (which I’ve checked and are safe) that run in the background. These programs share your unused internet with their clients.

You will learn more below… 👇

How do these programs work?

We all have internet at home or on the phone with a certain amount of bandwidth per month (or bandwidth as it is more commonly known) but hardly anyone uses all of it.

When we say “bandwidth” we mean the maximum amount of data that can be transferred from one point to another on a network in a given period of time. It is usually measured in bits (bps), kilobits (kbps), megabits (Mbps) or gigabits per second (Gbps).

For example, suppose you have a connection with a download speed of 30 Mbps per second. If you only use 5 MB/s to download a file, that leaves 25 MB/s of “idle” bandwidth that is not being used at the time. The rest of the internet that you don’t use (which you pay for) and is left unused your ISP sells it to someone else and doesn’t give you a refund. Well, instead of leaving it to the provider, you sell it (through the companies below) to the “customer” companies to “crawl” the web from your IP address.

Since, as we said, you are not using this internet (which you are entitled to after paying for it) these companies (which I will show you below) have found a way to sell this unused bandwidth to other companies and organizations in exchange for cash.

These companies are called Residential Proxy Networks and offer Residential proxies.

And so, they’re all WIN.

  • You’re WIN because you’re receiving passive income.
  • The companies that own the software are WIN because they make money from your unused bandwidth.
  • The companies that buy the unused bandwidth are WIN conscious…👇👇

Why do the customers of these companies need internet from others?

The answer is simple. They need your internet connection to access websites and services that are not available to them.

For example, let’s say there is an airline that wants to know how much all its competitors charge for airline tickets.

This data (prices, etc.) is available on their websites. But how can they gather it all, especially when ticket prices vary depending on the user’s location and the period when he is looking for a ticket.

Or, what if another company paid for online advertising, and wants to see if and how their ads appear in all the markets they paid to target?

To be able to gather all this information, they need to access the internet from the public’s perspective – from as many sources as possible, in as many locations as possible.

That’s where you come in.

Every time you access the internet, you do so from a unique IP address, and much of what you see is tailored to your location.

For example, you will see different Google results for what you search for from Greece/Cyprus and different results from America.

When a company uses your unused internet, it’s like they’re looking at the internet from your point of view. They can then use that “point of view” to “scour” the internet for the information and data they want.

What does this look like in reality?

It seems like you’re sharing your internet connection with someone else.

What are these programs, at last?

Here are the programs you can install on your computer for real passive income.

Packet Stream is another popular Residential Proxy Network (yes, that’s the correct name of these companies/programs) which doesn’t have as nice a UI (user interface), but does the same job as the other applications.

Pros and Cons

  • You can refer other people for more passive gains.
  • You can install it on an unlimited number of devices with different IP addresses.
  • Payments are made via PayPal.
  • No apps for iOS and Android

4. Earn App

Earn App is another popular proxy-network with a beautiful UI and lots of ways to earn. Let’s see here, the pros and cons.

Pros and Cons

  • Available for computers and mobile devices (iOS, Android).
  • You can introduce other people.
  • You can have as many devices as you want with different IPs.
  • Cashout at $2.5 mono.
  • Payments via PayPal and Wise

Payment Proof

I received my payment via Wise – which has much better rates than PayPal.

5. Grass

Grass is a new company that works in the same way as the previous ones. Your unharnessed internet is used by companies to train artificial intelligence (AI) “languages”.

Although still in beta, I’m putting it on the list. Someone recommended it in a Facebook group and I thought I’d add it to the article for anyone who wants to try it.

For and Against

  • Available for PCs, Solana phones (SAGA) and soon on iOS and Android phones.
  • You can introduce other people to increase your profits.
  • You can download it to an unlimited number of devices with different IP addresses.
  • It looks like a serious company with big investors behind it.
  • It’s a relatively new platform, so you don’t know how it will evolve.
  • It has no means of payment yet. At the moment you earn “Grass points” which in the future (as the company says) will be converted into company ownership. That is, you will be a shareholder of the company.

How to increase your passive income?

To increase your income by selling your internet, there are 2 ways:

  1. Installing these applications on as many devices with different IP.
  2. Recommend other people.

Install on more devices

If you have an old computer, you can take it to your parents’ house and leave it running all day. A computer that’s on all day, not doing anything, doesn’t use much power.

Also if you have one you can install it on your office computer or if the company you work for provides you with a phone, then you can have it there too.

Automatically, you have 4 – 5 devices sharing the unused internet and you make more – passive – money.

Introduce other people

By introducing other people, you can earn about 10% – 20% of what they earn without losing anything.

There are many ways to promote something online and even offline. Below I will show you a specific way which I consider very effective.

Make an account in Systeme and build a landing page:

Systeme is a very good and free landing page builder. Click here to see what a landing page is – if you don’t know. With it you will build a page, which you will send visitors over.

List all the programs There:

On the landing page you will put all the above programs. At the beginning put a “catchy title” (e.g. Earn REAL Passive Income Online Without doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING (For Real).

Advertised on PTC sites

Advertise the landing page on pay-to-click websites.

If you search online you will find several such sites. In essence, these sites pay you $0.001 (less than 1 cent) per ad.

These websites offer slick advertising. That is, for 10 euros you can get up to 1000 visitors.

Those who are willing to earn 0.001 per ad they see, do you think they won’t be interested in making more WITHOUT doing absolutely nothing?

I’m telling you that YES they are interested.

Other means of promotion:

  • Go to forums and communities where you can find people looking for ways to make an income and explain how it works.
  • Set up a Facebook page, and start posting stories, etc. Always say that the link is in your Bio.
  • Start a blog
  • Make stickers with QR codes that when scanned by someone will be transferred through your affiliate link to the program. Start sticking them wherever you find them.

Final Take

As I said at the beginning of the article, don’t expect to make thousands every month from this method. But you can develop it into a very good and 100% passive extra income from the internet.

And after all, you don’t lose anything. No time, no money. You just gain… A little, but without spending anything.
