From the novice investor to retirees, earning a powerful and consistent stream of monthly income is a primary goal.

Many investors in 2025 need dependable passive income, especially those getting ready to retire, and one outstanding way to achieve this is to invest in exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

One of the best ways to earn passive income is to build yourself an investment portfolio that does the heavy lifting for you.
