When you think about investing, selling options for income might not be the first strategy that springs to mind.

Investors use options to hedge their positions and traders use them to make quick gains when a stock moves up or down. They buy call or put contracts and hope to sell them for a profit or exercise them later.

But there are also options income strategies. For example, some investors sell puts for income. And when used properly, they can be part of a conservative investment strategy. We’ll show you how.

You see, unlike stocks where your only option is to buy what’s available, options contracts must be written first. And investors just like you can write them. What that means is you get paid for taking on the responsibilities of a contract.

Done right, it could mean a steady stream of options income into your account as options buyers fork over their cash to you.

Of course, there’s some risk too, but that’s what we’re here for.
