For me setting passive income will need more time on the beginning, but the rest will be automated and the money keep coming to my wallet. I always check my income generator system once a week in the weekend. It's like tune up your pc to make everything are going smooth.

I tend to stay away from the term "passive" and use instead the term "continuity" when describing the income that comes in each month from my various memberships...... one of which brings in about 40k a month.

How much time will I spend in 2015 building more "continuity" income?

Answer: As much as humanly possible.

I love continuity income. All those monthly rebills coming in constantly are the closest thing to security I can find. Like anything else, diversity is key! That's why I have many memberships, of different types in many markets. If the unthinkable were to happen to one of them, you wouldn't see me in the unemployment line. That's because my memberships are diversified.

How many hours a week do I work? 40 - 60 but that's my choice. I don't HAVE to work that many hours but I chose to because I love it,

I've always been very interested in the membership site model.
Currently working on an idea i'm developing now.
Do you create your own content, ......outsource your content (pay writers/video creators to create it for you), or partner with experts in various niches (do like a 50/50 partnership where they create the content, you create and market the site, and you split the profits).

My plan for 2015 is to double my passive and in addition be able to give up my part time job, so that in future I will live on 100% passive income. My five year plan is to be able to live a comfortable lifestyle and travel the world with my wife, spending a little time online helping others to help themselves.

It's a big part. Had it been any other year, I could have given you a percentage, actually. 2015, though, sees a lot of new online developments. My team and I are focused on development this year. Over the next 2 years, you'll see social networks (FB leading the way) becoming very different. We're planning now, in preparations for changes. But, back to passive income. A big chunk of my time is spent in this area, especially how it relates to viral marketing.

Residual income from the gambling business has allowed me to "free up my hands" and work on other things. Over the years, I've deliberately steered away from businesses that would "lock me down" even though they may pay more at the moment.

Being free-flowing allows me to turn on a dime depending on the changing environment. I just got into what they're calling passive income about 5 months ago. It really is passive because I had to work my ass off for the residuals, but this passive stuff just comes in when it's ready to. Being passive is against my own nature, so I'm aggressively building passively, I guess :-)

I actually sell products that have (reoccuring commissions). You sell it 'once' & keep making money as long as the members stay active.

Getting paid reoccuring commissions helps immensley with passive income.

I used to focus on passive income, this is still my main goal but I then realized that is most cases quick commissions and instant sales or profit will eventually lead to residual income if you automate the process as much as possible.

Very important ... I work only on "work once get paid many times over" methods. They're miles better than "rinse and repeat" models, aren't they?

But I don't think of them as "passive income", and they're not. I have articles "out there" that I wrote as long ago as 2008 that still bring me income every month, but even those aren't "passive income". I still have things to do, to collect that money. For a start, I have to check that the products I was promoting then are still for sale, and take action when they're not. So it would really be misleading for me to call any of it "passive".

I don't pretend that getting paid "many times over" is the same as getting paid "for ever, without doing any more work at all". It just isn't.

Passive income is great but it's not really 100% passive is it? Or is it?

Nothing lasts for-ever. The dream is write a book, top seller, makes you $500,000+ per annum royalties for-ever. It is a dream.

BUT you could hit something big for 12-18 months make enough money to create the next one.

I have both at the moment. Obviously I'd love to be 100% passive or "semi passive" income but not there yet.

The guy that has a membership site generating $40k month. Wow. That's amazing.

On another note, I read somewhere the Elvis foundation still makes millions $$'s per annum. You can't get any more passive than that can you?

Bad news you are dead

Good news you are making $2m per annum.

Some of the huge Christmas pop songs still make their artists a big sum every Christmas.

Well ... I imagine quite a lot of administrative attention and lawyers' fees are involved, even in that. Especially if it's anything like the Andy Warhol foundation.

Even that isn't really "passive". Profitable, yes, but not entirely "passive".

This is also true. Ah well, there's always a catch.

Not many IM ventures are purely passive, there is usually something you need to manage, and you cant just leave it alone for too long.

On the other hand something like stock dividends are 100% passive.

  I would invest in passive income stream via websites. I would invest about $5000 to make $90,000 a year via online passive income stream. (this is based on $5.00 a day income per site).
  
  If you buy 50 websites at approx. $20.00 a piece = $1000 one time cost
  
  Plug in software approx. = $297.00 one time cost
  (need plug in to automate the whole process)
  
  This is recurring expenses:
  
  Buy content at $5.00 per month per site = $250.00 a month x12= $3000 per year
  web hosting and domain registration = $40 a month x 12 = $480 per year + $750.00 per year
  
  Completely hands off.
  
  This is not counting advertising revenues once sites have regular visitors ...
  
  Thanks

I think my kindle books are as close to passive as I'll get. I literally update the covers once a year and send out a press release twice a year.

I've carved out a nice % of the market where we let the big boys do the advertising and I just feed off the scraps (still worth over 6 figures a year thou).

The articles, website and YouTube videos drive traffic to a central site and from their to Amazon.

Due to the market there is no point list building. Fortunately their are 700,000 potential new customers every year.

I really should expand and take the model international but it feels too much like hard work.

Passive income, as is imagined, is like falling off a cliff.

You must work hard first to play later.
Or you play now and work hard later.

You want, "do nothing now and do nothing later".

This is called "DEATH"!

I focus on total return for time invested. Whether that comes from getting paid once or many times over is irrelevant at this point.

Before I was making enough passive income to live off of than that was more of a focus, because once I reached that threshold I had a lot more freedom.

Really though if one's goal is passive income for the long term I say get as much as you can and just invest it in index funds... doesn't get more passive than that!

Work once, get paid many times over is something that i highly prefer. This is a system like recurring monthly income affiliate programs, or products that have a long backend selling cycle.

Work once, get paid once reminds me of a job. Don't like the idea.

I've been switching gears recently and focusing more on passive income and systems building. I need more time to spend with my family.

I'm personally not a fan of service-related businesses, where I have to work too much like a nine-to-five. I'm kind of lazy and not good with deadlines - ha. Plus, every time I've gotten money from that manner, the money has pretty much been spent by the time I've gotten it, if you know what I mean. Then, you have to start the hunt all over again.

Adopting the passive income mindset can get a while to get used to. But once you grasp it, it would be insane not to wish for it.

But wishing is different from actually having it. What I learned is that you can acquire it if you see building a business as planting some crops. You have to give it time and consistent effort so that it can grow. But once it takes off, it becomes easier.

'Work once, get paid many times over' system.' I too am focusing on passive income and systems building,

It wasn't until 3 years ago that I realized that the business I had was a "Glorified Job." I was the business. If I got sick or hurt physically, there goes my income. I knew I had to do something. So I looked around and finally settled on making money on the internet. Came highly suggested by my Financial Mentor.

My Business Mentor is all about having systems in your business. That the business is the product. Systems that I eventually would like to VA out or hire people to run it for me.

That is the goal.

It should be a priority but for most people it is a byproduct of hard work over a period time.

You start something and eventually it springs into something that you didnt expect and eventually leads to automated income and passive income. That's the way a lot of times it worked for me in the past.

But it is NEVER easy by any means
