Many people believe that any job they see on the internet is a scam. While there are many scams, there are also many legitimate ways to earn a passive income online. What's passive income? This is money that keeps coming whether you work or not. Of course, you have to put in plenty of hard work upfront, but you can enjoy the benefit of that work for many years. Here are some free and easy ways you can earn passive income online.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Computer
  • Internet Connection
  1. Step 1

    Write for eHow. Yes, this website you're on right now is a great tool that can help you earn a passive income online. Like many websites, eHow is a revenue share site. You write articles (just like this one), and you earn a share of the ad revenue from your work. The best part about all this is that you'll write an article in around 30 minutes, and without ever doing any work again on that article, you'll earn money from it forever.

  2. Step 2

    Look into other revenue share sites. Associated Content, Bukisa, and Squidoo have similar revenue share programs. You can write about whatever you want, and the format is a little bit more free than on eHow. If your looking to earn passive income online, however, these sites don't always pay as much as eHow, in my experience.

  3. Step 3

    Create a blog. You can put together a blog about any subject that interests you, write some articles on the topic, and you'll earn ad revenue forever. Blogging is a great way to earn passive income online. I started a year ago with no experience, and blogging is now my full-time job. I learned from a program called the Niche Blogger, but you can try different things to see what works.

  4. Step 4

    Develop a product. If you know a lot about a specific subject, you can create an ebook that will earn passive income online for years to come. Thousands of ebooks are available on every subject imaginable, and they make their creators big bucks.
