Here's the dream for making passive income online.

There are many ways to make passive income online. Making a little bit of money passively is easy, it's making a full time living that is the challenge! Read on to learn about the many websites where you can make a passive income online.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Computer
  • Internet Connection
  • PayPal Account
  1. Step 1

    Prepare for multiple streams of passive income. Some great sites for passive income includes ehow, Associated Content, Google Adsense, Clickbank, and other online affiliate programs.

  2. Step 2

    Make a "plan of attack" and stick to a very specific schedule. Don't write "$20 passive online income by the end of the month." Make goals that are work based, like "write 20 AC articles and 20 ehow articles by the end of the month" and then break this down to weekly or daily goals.

  3. Step 3

    Study each site for pros and cons. An Associated Content article is not the same as an ehow article, and Adsense is a whole different game altogether, but all provide great opportunities to make passive income online.

  4. Step 4

    Look up the experts and learn from them. If you want to learn about Adsense, find Grizz's blog. If you want to make money on AC, look for authors with a "10" rating or higher. Look in the ehow forums or check out Writer Gig's ebook if you want to know how to increase earnings at ehow.

  5. Step 5

    Work hard and work a lot. The benefits of online passive income, or most residual income for that matter, comes after months of really hard work to set up the long term benefits. The more work you put in, the more benefits you will sow.

  6. Step 6

    Keep at it, and re-spin your articles. An original and unique ehow article can easily be re-written to a unique and original AC article, and might be on a topic that would make a good Adsense blog.

  7. Step 7

    Always keep learning, and always keeping working. It does pay off. If you work hard and keep testing and trying out new things, then eventually you'll enjoy a very good stream of passive income.

Tips & Warnings
  • Adsense, Affiliate Sales, and Clickbank are a little more advanced than ehow and Associated Content, but all of this is worth looking at to get your online passive income coming in!
  • Always keep reading and learning! When it comes to online residual income, knowledge really is power.
  • Try to write for sites that are worth your time and not sites that don't reward proportionately to work done (like helium.com).
