Earn Passive Income Using the Internet

Passive income is defined as money earned from an enterprise that continues to make money with little or no further effort after the initial work is done. Keep in mind that you will have to do the initial work to launch the enterprise, but after it is done, the income will flow to you relatively effortlessly. Learn how to use the internet to set up multiple streams of passive income.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Step 1

Write and sell an eBook. eBooks are very popular since they are easily transmitted and cost virtually nothing to produce – just your time. You will need a venue to sell your eBook, such as a website, through Amazon Kindle, or through a digital download site like e-Junkie. Read my other articles titled, “How to Write an eBook to Sell Online,” and “How to Market an eBook Online.” I have written many eBooks and they provide a healthy income stream.
Step 2

Write articles for eHow. You will not see results immediately, but many authors here earn over $1,000 a month from their articles. Check the eHow Forums and eHow Groups for helpful tips from successful authors.
Step 3

Write articles for Bukisa. This is a new site that also pays for your articles. Visit the site for more information.
Step 4

Do product reviews. Do the review once, and earn money forever based on page views and ratings. Check sites like ExpoTV, Review Stream, and ePinions. (See my article, “How to Make Money Reviewing Products.”
Step 5

Start a membership site. Are you passionate or knowledgeable about a particular topic or niche product? If so, you can start a membership site where members pay to access exclusive information you provide in a password protected area. Set up the site once, and collect the membership fees each month.
Step 6

Create a blog. Millions of people make money blogging. You can earn passive income by placing all kinds of affiliate programs and Google AdSense on your blog. Popular affiliate programs include Amazon Associates and The eBay Affiliate Program. Many small entrepreneurs also offer affiliate programs for their products, eBooks, and membership sites. You can also sell advertising space to other bloggers. You will have to post on the blog frequently to attract visitors.
Step 7

Write and self-publish a book thru a self-publishing company with print on demand service. You will pay a company to a one time fee to print and promote your book. The company I used, iUniverse, pushed my book out to over 250 websites. I didn’t have to promote it online, yet I get a nice check every quarter from the online sales.
Step 8

Check the resources section below for more ways to earn passive income from home. It works!

on 6/27/2009 Residual income is an ideal long term affiliate model "work once and receive money forever" as long as they remain as customer in the membership site. Online business is not get rich quick scheme, we need focus, commitment and persistent to build the business. You need to treat it as real business.

To your success,
