how to make passive income

If you want to know how to make a passive income (money) blogging without spending hundreds of dollars on complicated courses and coaching from Internet gurus, read on. It doesn’t have to be difficult to succeed as a blogger, but you do have to know where to start. This article shows you exactly that.

First, set up a free account with an online marketplace such as Clickbank, Amazon, and also a google account for adsense and affiliate program. With these affiliate programs,  you can choose products to promote and earn a commission from them each time someone clicks or buys a product (depending of the details). Don't forget, choose a product, or subject you are passionate about, or an expert in. A niche that you find interesting or at least know a little bit about. That comes in handy when you need to write original content about the subject.

After you have chosen your niche or blog, sign up to a blogging platform such as Blogger or Wordpress and follow the instructions to set up your blog. It’s a good idea to invest in a domain name specific to your niche, with the keywords in the same order as your readers look for it:
  • Google gives you the benefit of the doubt (SEO)
  • It looks more professional
  • Its simpler when you blog, and invite readers to click through to the relevant products which you promote, with a simple name.

Once your blog is ready for articles to be written, (original content), it’s time to write three unique articles which are interesting and useful to:
  • Your blog readers.
  • People who look for your product.

This is why it is a good idea for you to be passionate about your niche. Write articles which add lots of value to your site, and to your readers; if you need inspiration for article subjects, google questions which are being asked about your products or subject, and use authority sites to do your research like bing and yahoo and google.. There is a lot of information online about almost any subject, so it shouldn’t take long for you to collect what you need and decide what to write about. At the end of each article, place a link to your promoted product. On every page of your site, include pictures and banners which also promote the products.
Next, you need to start generating traffic to your site. There are numerous free ways to do this, like using Digg.com and getting a top story but the best ones are to submit your blog to article directories and syndication sites. You can also join forums and social networks relevant to your niche and link back to your site each time. The more value you can add to your niche on the web, the better. Become an expert commenter on a particular forum and build up a credible presence on the web. Don’t do any spam commenting or promoting, otherwise you will be penalized by both web users and the search engines.

Now you have to incorporate your list-building software, or Aweber.com onto your blog. There are many tutorials to help you with this step, so follow them and your list will be up and running in no time. Once you get traffic to your site and start building a email list, you can set up your “auto responder” emails which offer your readers products and information.

You could send your list a weekly email packed with free info and ideas, and then at the bottom add a link to the product you want to promote. Every reader who clicks through and buys the product will earn you an affiliate commission. Lists are an excellent way to build income online, so make sure you work hard to keep your readers engaged in your niche. Emails based on a “hard sell” approach rarely work, so be original and creative in your email content.

Keep going with these methods and you could be very successful as a blogger. There is no “get rich quick” element to this process, but if you find out what works, and you even start for free, then do the same again, you are well on your way to becoming successful online. This is the first step to building a niche empire which could turn into a full-time career. The hard work you put in at the beginning can be used again and again as you extend your online presence. Remember, if one of your sites starts making 10$ a month, make 10 mor blogs like it, and thats 100$ a month, making passive income blogging.
