Passive Income:
Passive Income means you
start an money-making activity and by that open an income
stream. Once set-up this provides you a with a steady,
sometimes even steadily increasing income over the months and
years to come without you having to continuously work for this
activity like in a normal day job where you earn your money
only when you come to work every day and perform your job
duties.
Examples:
-
You set up a
AdSense website and do all the necessary
SEO
actions including building a network of
incoming and outgoing link
s
to ensure a top position in the
search engine results pages
(SERPs).
Once you can rely on a constant high volume
of traffic
from search engines and from your
link-network you are rewarded by constant passive
income from this site, without having to do
anything for it in the future (of course, the
site content
would need to be updated now and then to
avoid a drop in the SERPs because of a stale
site).
-
You build
a
membership
site with a
service which provides good value for it’s members. The
monthly membership fees make a solid passive income for
you which will be stable as long as the members are
satisfied with the service and do not leave. Providing
the delivered service is automated all your activities
can be directed to expanding your membership base which
would increase your income.
-
You recruit a
new distributor (seller) into your downline
of your MLM
-business and train him until he is
successful as a seller of the MLM-company
product
s
and as a recruiter of other distributors.
Once he is actively selling and recruiting his
own downline (which would of course become your
downline, too) you can expect a constant, ideally
increasing passive income as long as he is
active, even if you should retire at this
point.
There are many other
examples how especially Internet marketing activities can
provide a passive income. The advantages of passive income
compared to having to work 40 hours and more in a corporate job
are obvious. Best part of it is that as soon as one channel of
passive income is running you will have time to start new
activities which will open additional income channels. You
don’t work to maintain your fixed monthly income but your work
to constantly add to what you already earn.
[Passive

= capable of feeling or
suffering; sense later extended to mean “not
active”;
