As you can see, the price/days goes down significantly at 1/15/2021. Assuming market volatility is not too extreme and SPX stays about 2800 for the whole term, you could sell puts at 2800 every month or so and you should be able to get 0.80 to 1.0 price/day on those options.
Note: These values are representative on a weekend and the volatility in the market, the actual price of an option can easily jump up or down 10% to 20% depending on the day.
Caveats: The basis for selling at 2800 is assuming the market stays at that level consistently for the year. If SPX goes down, you should sell a lower strike option. If the market goes down pass your strike price, SERIOUSLY consider buying it, and selling your Long put. If the market tanks you can lose money if it goes down far enough fast enough.
