What Is "Smart Passive Income"?

Although Pat Flynn, the owner of the "Smart Passive Income" website, has nothing to do with Wealthy Affiliate, I do like looking over his website from time to time.

For those who don't know, Pat Flynn is highly successful in the world of affiliate marketing. He does spend a lot on paid advertising, but what I really like about him and his website is his transparency when it comes to how much money he earns.

Every month Pat publishes a breakdown of his affiliate (and related) earnings, along with his expenditure, giving people like us an insight into what is actually possible in this business when it comes down to dollars and cents.

It can be a real source of encouragement to all of us. It's pretty rare that anyone will be so open about their earnings, but I guess he has his own reasons for revealing the figures.

In the last 12 months he declares he has made a total income of $1,764,106.36 (gross profit).

Pretty amazing figures!

He has been posting these monthly reports since he started back in 2008 and it makes for some interesting reading. His income is really a blend of affiliate earnings as well as selling his own products, such as online courses.

Although not a Wealthy Affiliate member at any time, it's great news to see others doing so well in this industry, as it inspires us all to aim big and aspire to reach greater heights in our online businesses.

Kyle is always stating what's possible with affiliate marketing in the training, and people like Pat are proof that there is big money to be made online in this industry.

I would love to be earning a yearly income like that from affiliate marketing and related endeavours. How about you?

Thanks for sharing, Darren.

Cheers.

Of course I'd love to make that kind of money. However I would be happy to match my current income on a regular basis.

Yeah, sometimes just replacing what you earn from your job can be enough, just so you don't have to go into work anymore.

It seems like it is better to have multiple incomes within this business.

Definitely!

You darn right I would love to earn that kind of money yearly or even monthly! I know it takes hard work and determination, but it can definitely be done especially with the training that we receive here at Wealthy Affiliate.

It's all possible, and people like Pat Flynn prove it can be done.

Thanks for the information.

Not a problem.

That's very encouraging to read and realise what is possible.

It sure is.

I am a Pat Flynn fan and subscribe to his newsletter. He has an extensive library of podcasts and publishes a transcript of them.

Good information to know.

good post thank you for sharing

No problem.

Thanks for sharing . I think we all want that kind of income :)

Yep. I know I would ;)

OMG! Those figures are mind blowing. I'm off to check out his site right now. Who knows? I might learn something lol.

For sure. There's always something to learn from others who have had success in this business.
