6 Passive Income Ideas to Help You Make Money Online

What is Passive Income?

Passive income is money you earn even when you’re not actively working. This type of revenue keeps coming in, even when you’re sleep? Generally speaking, there is work involved. However, once the work is complete on a specific passive income project, you can usually just sit back and allowed the revenue to flow.

6 Tips to Create Passive Income for Yourself

Here are six different types of passive income sources, also known as residual income, to help you make more money online:

1. Affiliate Marketing

If there’s a product or service you use regularly that you know your blog audience will love, become an affiliate of that solution. Becoming an affiliate allows you to make commissions from sales generated from your site. Just publish the affiliate link or code, and your work is done.
 

2. Pay-Per-Click Ads

When you allow pay-per-click ads to be shown on your blog, you get paid each time someone clicks on the ads. Even if they don’t actually buy anything, you still get paid. Now, how’s that for passive income?

3. Selling Ad Space on Your Site

Have a website or blog that gets some pretty good traffic? Other businesses will be willing to pay you to place their ads on your site to take advantage of that traffic. You know how TV commercials are priced depending on the popularity of the shows before, during and after the ads? Well, you can price your ads based on the popularity of your site, as well.

4. E-book Publishing

As an eBook editor, author and publisher, this is one of my favorite forms of residual income. The more I publish eBooks, the more passive income I earn over time. Not a writer? You can still become a successful eBook publisher.

5. Teach a Webinar Course


If you’re an industry leader, others within your field want to learn from you. Why not give them what they want, and charge for it? Create a webinar course teaching others about valuable things to know in your industry. Then, sell access to the live webinar, as well as taped versions of the webinar course. If what you have to teach is valuable to your market, the course will sell itself over and over again, for years to come.

6. Premium Membership Sites

Have access to industry secrets and information too lucrative to give away? Then, sell access to it instead. Turn your website into an exclusive membership site. Give paid members access to premium content, such as webinars, whitepapers, as well as communities and forums for networking with other industry professionals.

New FB Page Dedicated in Honor of a Great Mentor within AA, Mr. Leon Chatmon, Jr.

Do you know, love, respect and honor Mr. Leon Chatmon, Jr., a great mentor within the program of Alcoholics Anonymous (Los Angeles, CA)? If so, please LIKE the new Facebook Page created in his honor.

Published on December 24, 2013 by Dwight Graham CEO Mr.Dee'z Photography Service

My grandfather would have celebrated 48 years of sobriety on April 11, 2014. Instead, his dedication to the program of Alcoholics Anonymous must be demonstrated through those he mentored, fathered, uncled, scolded, cared for and loved within AA.

His physical birthday is just four days away. To honor both of these birthdays, I've created a Facebook page where those who love him, his memory and his legacy can congregate online to give thanks and honor to his spirit.

Unlike his FB profile, this Facebook Page is public and open to any and everyone, as long as your purpose for Liking the page is to honor his memory. More than anything, I would like to extend open invitations to all of his AA family and friends, so that his DNA family members can learn the joys you knew through stories of, for, about and related to him.

Please Like this new PUBLIC FB page created In Honor of Leon Chatmon, Jr. Feel free to engage with others who feel just as passionately as you do about this great man. Invite anyone I may have missed with my invites. This page was created for you and everyone else who wishes to honor his memory: https://www.facebook.com/LeonChatmonJr

The New KDP Sales Reports Dashboards

Have you checked out the new reports interface on Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP)? I simply love it!

I used to dread checking my previous month's stats and royalties, especially in public places, because you had to download them. And, to top it off, you had to download an Excel spreadsheet.

I always had multiple issues with this, one being that I can't use an editable spreadsheet as verification of my royalties. With the new KDP sales reports interface, you can take a snapshot of the on-page report, which would be a more reliable source of royalties payments than editable Excel spreadsheets.

Benefits of the New Amazon KDP Sales Reports Interface

Now, KDP has FINALLY upgraded the reports to meet my needs. They have added a feature called the "Sales Dashboard." These are some of the great features of the new sales reports on Amazon KDP:
  1. There's an on-page graph that shows your daily sales, at-a-glance.
  2. The on-page report now lists royalties earned for that month in each marketplace, at-a-glance.
  3. Reports can now be filtered based on marketplaces, titles and time frames, right on the screen.
  4. You can view an on-screen graph of paid, borrowed (KOLL) and/or free unit sales for your selected title(s) in your chosen time period. 
  5. You can change any of the criteria above, then click on "Generate Report" to download an Excel spreadsheet. The spreadsheet will then have two sections: a Royalty Report and an Orders Report.
