Hello business friends,

I've put together some ways to make some passive income. These ideas are up to you to be considered if needed. Passive income is one way to get involved without having to do any daily work. It's sorta like setting it up and collect the profits. So, if you are new to affiliate marketing, you can do this on the side, while concentrating more on your daily goals.


Let's begin:

Various ways to make a passive income (10):

1) Get people to join W.A. and collect on paid members

2) Sell your photography to Shutterstock.com and collect royalties

3) Upload your product designs to Redbubble.com and live off the royalties

4) Buy and hold long-term stocks that are good.

5) Write E-books and sell them on Amazon

6) Look for stocks that pay a nice return on dividends.

7) Own as much vending machines as you can

8) If you are familiar with Apps, you can buy profitable ones on Flippa.com

9) If you’re good with graphic templates, start selling them.

10) Turn your spare room(s) into rental income or just fix bad houses and get real estate rental income.

As I was looking at this list, I was thinking that anyone could blend some of these passive income ways into their own website. For example: You could blog and upload your own E-books to your website to keep all your earnings instead of using Amazon. Or you could set-up a photo website where you sell them yourself instead of having to make a deal with Shutterstock.

Now you might ask, why would you want to do it by yourself? Well, if you can make a wave with blogging and get ranked on Google, why wouldn't you want to do it?

If you have any success with selling your "own work" as you blog, please share them here. It would be interesting to know. Thanks!

John
