How to Create Passive Income on the Internet

The advent of the internet has created hundreds upon thousands of people jumping on the internet bandwagon. And the reason is simple. People are always looking for ways to make some extra income.

So, if you’re looking for the most effective way to add some passive income using the internet, these proven methods if done correctly could have you smiling all the way to the bank.

1) Build a website related to a particular topic consisting of useful content. These types of sites are called niche sites. Simply by providing good content to your visitors you are providing a valuable service. But best of all, by simply placing advertising on this site such as Google Adsense, you can make money when visitors click on those content related ads. This is a great way to make some passive income.

Some great website building tools you could use to start your niche website is www.sitesell.com, www.xsitepro.com or simply set up a free blog on www.Blogger.com and begin adding content along with advertising from Google Adsense and begin seeing some nice checks come your way. But don’t forget to make your blogs and sites keyword rich. Both SiteSell and X-Site Pro actually have built-in tools to help you build search engine optimized (SEO) keyword-rich pages.

2) Write articles! Many websites like www.Elance.com or www.Guru.com are making lots of people across the country a good income online. If you are a good writer you too can make a good income. This is a great option for the stay-at-home mom or dad that is looking for a good way to keep busy, but a great way to also add the term “experienced writer” to your resume. Writing is a great skill that can later be very useful for either later building a writing business or venturing back out into the workforce. It allows you to feed your mind and your pocketbook.

3) Promote other people’s products! – By promoting other peoples products you can make a commission simply by placing a coded link on your site. This is referred to as an affiliate program. By simply joining an affiliate program and promoting other peoples products that relate to your site topic you can make automatic passive income.

4) Online Surveys – Tons of company’s need surveys completed. You simply fill out a survey and get paid!

5) Become a Virtual Assistant (VA) – If you have a skill like customer service skills, administrative assistant experience, experience as a writer, have data entry skills or any other business related skill you are a good candidate to become a VA. Simply type in “virtual assistant” in the search engine and you’ll find a number of sites hiring VA’s.

As you can see, it’s pretty simple to make a passive income on the internet. The secret is to simply take the first step. Once you start building targeted keyword-rich content you will begin to see good traffic and will begin seeing checks coming your way. It really doesn’t get much simpler than this.
