This millionaire YouTube star says earning $200K should be easy if you're 'smart about it' — here's 1 easy way to boost your income while you sleep

If you’re waiting for inflation to majorly cool off before investing for your future, you might not want to hold your breath.

24-year-old YouTube star Sebastian Ghiorghiu believes there are plenty of opportunities to make money despite the current market conditions.

“Back then people had to physically work to earn money,” Ghiorghiu wrote in a recent tweet. “Nowadays you can push buttons in bed and make 10x more, maybe even 100x if you are smart about it.”

Traditionally, alternative investments have been the purview of institutional investors and ultra-high-net-worth individuals. But new platforms are demystifying niche markets and making it easier and cheaper to buy in, especially for non-accredited investors.

Here is one simple way you can diversify your portfolio and boost your income while you sleep.

Generate a diversified passive income stream

Yieldstreet offers retail investors a chance to receive passive income through a variety of alternative investments that have traditionally been inaccessible to most.

Through the platform, retail investors can access a range of private market investments that typically have a low correlation to the stock market.

These include luxury vehicle finance, commercial real estate, fine art and even legal finance.

It's far from a novelty: Yieldstreet boasts a net annualized return of 9.6% and $4 billion funded through its platform.

Uniquely, this platform also offers a wide range of investment minimums, so you can find the passive income opportunities that are just right for you.

Case in point: Yieldstreet’s Prism fund lets you build a high-quality, multi-asset fixed-income portfolio with a minimum investment of just $500.

Private equity for everyday investors

Traditionally, investing in things like exotic vehicles or multi-family apartments have only been options for the top 1%.

But with the help of new platforms like Yieldstreet, these kinds of opportunities are now available to retail investors, too.

With a single investment, you can build a fixed-income portfolio spread across multiple asset classes.

You’ll receive quarterly cash distributions. And, of course, you’ll benefit from any long-term appreciation on top of that.

You can sign up easily to join more than 400,000 members seeking to boost returns, generate passive income and diversify from traditional investments.
