Whether you own your land outright, or you have a mortgage on it, you might want to lease it out. In that case, you had better find some tips for real estate owners wanting to lease their land.
Some people may approach you to lease your land for them to plant and harvest crops. This is an excellent way to make money, as your land is going to be tilled, used to produce food, and in the end it should prove to be more valuable than it would have been just sitting there as an empty lot. There may even be some talk about exchanging some of the lease price for the finished product. If a farmer is going to lease your land to grow corn, you may exchange some of the ripened corn that he harvests in the end for a return on some of his money.

But in this instance, your land would need to have road frontage with lots of traffic that would be reading the billboard.

If you are in a remote area, you may contact some cellular phone companies who may want to use your land to build a tower. These leases are typically ten to twenty years.
If someone wants to build a business on your land, this is a great opportunity for you. They lease the land while they build their building, that is provided that it can be commercially zoned.

If their business is well-established there, they may never leave, and your income will increase in increments. If they leave, and you continue to maintain the building, it should bring you more income every year.
