Passive Income: Making Money Without Working

By Tom Lindstrom | Jul 20, 2008

Is it possible to make money without lifting a finger? This is a dream that many people have and those who have discovered passive income opportunities know that it can become a reality thanks to the internet which is a passive income opportunity goldmine.

So, what exactly is passive income? Passive income refers to income that self perpetuates – in other words, it refers to a venture that, without any consistent work for you, makes you money over and over again.A good example from the real world is magazine subscriptions where you get paid every month for a sale that you made just once.Renting property is another good example, where you get a monthly rent payment.

The easiest way to make passive income on the internet is to set up a blog and sell advertising from it.A blog is easy to set up and it is inexpensive, but you do need to put in a lot of time to build up the traffic.By using Web2.0 strategies you can build up the traffic quickly.When your site gets traffic you can start selling advertising and recurring subscriptions to different membership sites.By adding Google Adsense ads you can increase your income even more.

A site must have lots of good content as well, not just advertising.People will come to your site to get a solution to a problem or learn more about a particular thing.This is where your input of time comes in.If your blog is nothing but advertising, you will not become successful at it.You need to help people to get what they want, and in return you will get everything you want.So, the more time you put down to write quality articles and marketing your site, the more you will get visitors who are clicking on your Adsense ads and buying your subscriptions.

Passive income opportunities are very tempting because of the “do the work once - get paid forever” nature, you have to beware people who are peddling them online. There are lots of companies that charge you a fee to give you advice to set up a website – and then on that website you basically end up advertising to get other people to pay to set up a website – in other words, a net based pyramid scam.

There are other companies who say they will teach you how to earn passive income online for a fee. Be wary of these places. There isn’t anything they can teach you that you couldn’t learn yourself with the a little bit of time spent researching. But if you avoid the schemes and put in some up front work, the internet could have you sitting back and counting your cash in no time.

You need to find products and services that are in high demand in order to get as many subscriptions sold as possible.I know of a product that is in extremely high demand, is easy to sell, and pays you $15 per month as long as the subscription is renewed.It is called Social Power Linking.

If you all ready have a website or blog, consider adding Google Adsense ads to earn more passive income.To learn exactly how earn the most of adsense, I recommend reading an ebook called Google Adsense Secrets by Joel Comm.

    To run a successful blog you need to be a good writer. This is why its a good idea to get involved with article marketing because once you know how to write good articles relatively quickly you can use them on websites like EzineArticles.com as well as on your blog for even more traffic.
