For those who are new here, I highlight ways to earn money for as little effort as possible. The idea for my readers is to accumulate multiple streams of passive income to make their lives a little bit easier. And I've got another good earner here, Packetstream!

Many of us internet/tech addicts have unlimited bandwidth from our internet service providers because we use a ****load of internet. Packetstream takes your unlimited bandwidth and puts it to work for you. Selling your excess off to companies that want access to residential IPs. This could be so that they can allow users access to region-locked content by making it appear as if they are somewhere else. Or it could be, so that users can circumvent IP bans or merely browse with anonymity. Now let's be clear you won't be rich from using Packetstream, but it can provide a moderate sum in exchange for what essentially amounts to nothing for many people.

The process is straightforward. Signup on their website with just an email address, and download their software. It's available on Mac, Windows, and Linux is coming soon. The software will run in the background on your device, and I don't personally notice any drag on my systems performance after testing the application on PC.

Packetstream pays out via Paypal after you reach a balance of $5 or more. And charge a 3% fee for each withdrawal. I have received payouts from them myself and can confirm their reliability.  So how much are you looking at here? Packetstream is selling your bandwidth at a rate of $.10/GB and customers of theirs are paying $1.00 per GB.

Now you're probably thinking, "I have very fast and unlimited internet, certainly that means I can make a bunch of money right? Well not necessarily. The real limitation of Packetstream is how much bandwidth is being BOUGHT from them by customers. You can only sell well, when there are buyers which puts a limit on profits, just as your location does. A more desirable location means your bandwidth is more desirable. I strongly suggest you combine Packetstream with other companies that also sell your excess bandwidth like Honeygain (Android, PC, Mac) and Fluidstack (Linux Only). Since your limitation is mostly in how many customers you have, you maximize your earnings by giving yourself access to as many customers as possible. I have already reviewed Honeygain and will share my link to my review at the end of this post.

Packetstream has a referral system as these companies often do. And if you're seeking passive income, these referral systems can be powerful tools for you to expand your earnings. Signing up is alright, but you're limited to what you can sell. Wouldn't it be great to get a piece of other peoples pies? If you refer another user you can earn a bonus based on a percentage of their earnings! This percentage varies over time as there are sometimes promotions. I've seen as low as 3% and as high as 50%! You can see a tally of how many people have used your personal referral to keep track as your earnings grow.

Now let's be clear, there is no way to make money without some downside. I personally have noticed absolutely no affect on my internet speeds with Packetstream active but it is possible you could. Although they do limit purchasers to a percentage of your bandwidth to limit their affect on you.

Is it safe? Well you are giving access of your internet to this company so you have every right to be concerned.  An ultra privacy-concerned individual would be right to walk away. However Packetstream boasts multiple reputable, and frankly impressive partners to put their users at ease. These include Paypal, Stripe, and Amazon Web Services. 

In the end is Packetstream is a great opportunity for passive income? Yes. Though the earning rate isn't spectacular, and it does fluctuate quite a lot. I personally find their competitor Honeygain to provide steadier earnings. But after you install their software there is virtually no effort required from you. And that's why I suggest it! The goal here is money for nothing and they are exactly that. And if you're smart you can compound the earnings by investing them in cryptocurrency or the stock market.
