August 2025 Monthly Passive Income Report: $2,822.55

Time for my monthly update on my passive income. I was able to make over $2,000 again so I am pretty happy about that. Goal is to hit $3,000 next month if possible. Now let me break it down for you.

1. Dividend Stocks

I have been slowing buying more growth stocks that pay a small dividend like Apple, Microsoft, Meta, Google, etc. Just to name a few. The goal isn’t to rely on the dividend, but the growth it will bring in 15 years. So this won’t be my main passive income.

Total Dividend Income: $40.16

  • GAIN: 14.24
  • GLAD: 6.01
  • MAIN: 4.03
  • O: 1.6
  • FTHI: 1.56
  • SCHD: 0
  • MISC: 0.87
  • Share Lending: 11.85

2. Option Trading

I did a ton of put options for the premiums I collect up front to do more put options. This is definitely my main passive income as it is very easy to make money here. I will continue doing this and hopefully I can hit the $3,000 mark next month.

Below is a breakdown of all the premiums I earned for the month:

  • Covered Calls: $287
  • Cash-Secured Puts: $2,389
  • Credit Spreads (None): $0

3. High-Yield Savings

The amount I get from my savings went down because I used it for option trading as I can generate more income. But it comes with risk I am willing to take. I started withdrawing 50-75% of the money I earn from option trading into my savings as I want to have more liquid cash if needed. The rest will be used for investing.

  • Total Income from High-Yield Savings: $82.83

4. Atlas Earth

I have over $50 earned that I haven’t converted to Atlas cash as I am waiting until December when they have a bigger conversion bonus. Instead of converting $1 dollar for 33 Atlas cash it will be 40 Atlas cash.

  • Total Income from Atlas Earth: $20

5. Amazon KDP

I think I will only sell one book per month going forward as there is a lot of competition on Amazon. I also don’t see myself creating any more books for the time being as I don’t have much free time here.

  • Total Income from Amazon KDP: $3.56

Total Passive Income For This Month

  • Total Income from All Streams: $2,822.55

Here’s the full breakdown of my passive income for the month:

  • Dividend Stocks: $40.16
  • Option Trading: $2,676
  • High-Yield Savings: $82.83
  • Atlas Earth: $20
  • Amazon KDP: $3.56

Final Thoughts:

I hope to hit the $3,000 mark next month, but it might not be the case as I have starting transferring 50% of my passive income into my savings as I am trying to save for a bigger home. So this might not happen, but it is always good to set a goal.
