Ever since starting this blog, I knew that making money online is something that I would like to do. Not necessarily making money using the blog, but rather trying out different ways and schemes and, this blog being my personal haven, and a getaway when times are rough or exciting.
Passive income is the holy grail to me. This is the best type of income you can ever get. After making an initial effort, you rip the fruits during harvest, which is usually a pretty long period of time.
Passive income will arrive to your account while you sleep, eat, [...], do whatever you enjoy doing, in amounts based on how good a job you did setting everything up. It is The Dream.
After recently discovering that free SEO book, you probably know from my last post, other than downloading it and reading it, I’ve become an active participant in its affiliate program.
I’ve placed the 125′er on the sidebar, featured the report in my header and written a post about it. Other than that I’ve invited people on different forums to go ahead and download this free ebook.
After doing all that I thought that was it for the next couple of weeks. But, hey.. It really took off. People are clicking, people are downloading – incredible.
Well, not as incredible when you think about it. It is, after all, free. It just took me by surprise.
Why shouldn’t anyone download it?
So, while the road toward true passive income is paved, as it always has been and I just wasn’t smart enough to take it previously, I still feel that I have lots to learn.
The Journey continues.
