  • Peter,

    An interesting list. I am familiar with some of them, and any of those you mention that I know of are very worthwhile. I guess I will have to do more research to find out about the others, so thanks for the kick-start.

  • Great post Peter. Some cool ways and profitable ones too. Passive is always nice. I see you use Performancing Ads yourself too.
  • @Kenney @ Work From Home Blog: Hi Kenney, thanks for dropping in. Yes I'm using Performancing Ads although I find that they take too big a cut in the revenue. The OIO Publisher I'm using gives you 100% earnings so it helps to even out things a little.

  • Good list Peter...

    I set up a few accounts in MPS and between my wife and I, with our limited time, have managed $200 - $300 in about 3 months. That is only about 2 hour/5 days....I could see a couple making decent extra money if that is all they did all day long.

    Great post Peter

  • Another great way to make money is to shop around, as any money saved is money gained. Don't be afraid to ask for discount as on many occasions you may well find out that 'ask and you shall receive' actually works.

    Also I've found that when requiring a service it also pays to shop around. I saved a couple of thousand of dollars, and got a better product, by shopping around for a truck refit.

    Sorry Peter, you covered almost everything else and this is all that I could come up with ;)

    <abbr>Sires last blog post..Wassup’s Bloggers Forum Adding To The Blogging Experience</abbr>
  • @Sire: Thanks Sire for the good tip...‘ask and you shall receive’ actually works'..I've heard of this before. Could this be why bloggers put a 'Donation' button on their blogs. Wonder if it's true here too.

  • Why not, I've actually had a couple of people who have bought me a beer via that plugin. If I didn't have that plugin, I would be that much thirstier.
  • ‘ask and you shall receive’

    Hmm, where did I hear this before?...
  • Okay, this list hurts my head! You're done a yeoman's job here, Peter, and it's way too much to try to consume in one sitting; not that I haven't been trying. Way to go; supreme stuff.

  • Thanks Peter for such good resources, especially the one "create Ebooks that sell." Offering my own Ebooks on my website will give me so many advantages over selling other people's Ebooks. I just have to put mind mind to it and put in the work to do it.

    Dave
  • Hi Dave, Thanks for dropping by. I guess writing an ebook is perhaps one of things most bloggers would do one day so this resource should come in handy when that happens.

  • Peter: Having multiple streams of income is paramount to building any long term wealth. One rule/regulation change can put many IMs out of business overnight if they're not careful.

  • I would point out that passive income programs could be described as items that continue to provide value to those that find them. Making an item of value, and leaving it in a location where people can end up seeing it, is a way to contribute to one's community in a way that doesn't add pressure to the release of the product. One might say that passive income earners provide as much, if not more, to the general populace.

  • This is an awesome list of links about passive income. I write about passive income myself, so it's really cool to hear other people talk about the same subject!

    Next time you write about passive income, Peter, keep me in mind =)

    All the best and Happy Holidays!

  • Thanks for always proving valuable content like this one. I think network marketing is also one of the very lucrative ways to build passive incomes.

    BTW, be aware of those passive investment schemes out there like ad surfs, I've seen some people who've lost a substantial amount of money in it.

  • Passive income is a lot of work. I know a few people out there that make it sound so easy. Passive income does take a lot of time and effort.

    With a blog, you need to continuously work on new content, otherwise people won't use your blog.
  • One thing to remember that passive income is not an overnight success. Blogging times a great deal of time, start on generating content first.
    Build and audience then sell.

    <abbr>Jamess last blog post..How to choose a good web host</abbr>
  • Excellent tips and highly informative. Thanks for sharing.
  • I almost wish I didn't read this post because you give so many links to checkout that it will take me all day to research and then decide how these resources can impact my monthly bottomline. I will let you know later how and if I implemented any of the resources and the results of me doing so. Thanks for the post.
