For a steady income perhaps the best way is to open your own business. Depending on your skills, it may bring you good results.
i'm thinking on this line to build a small farm and start earning money this way and leaving my job for that lol, i think it can make sense with a cheap electricity around 0.15 cent, right now a rig can earn you $200 a month, so 5 of those can get you $1000 without doing nothing
