How would you go about generating a bit of passive income?

Does your gaming site get any traffic?

There is no such thing as true "passive income"... Just like in the real world there is very little that is set and forget....
If you don't keep working at it, eventually it's going to fail....

Why did you say (which might be one of the worst niches,...). I see the opposite cause it`s a big market over the world and if you know how to monetize your gaming website well and place ads from adsense or any other networks, as well getting traffic to this website. Sure you will see some money coming to you.

Go with ebay + Amazon arbitrage.

There's a great WSO on here I recommend
that goes into detail on how to do just
that and you can do it easily in the 2 -
3hrs spare time you have a day...maybe
less.

I've done it for a while and it works...
and continues to work.

If you have a long-standing eBay account
you can take off running very fast. If
not it will take 3 - 4 months to build
enough trust so you can have higher
selling limits, but the time it takes
is well worth the effort.

At least, that's what I would do.

Oh, and plus it's free (except the WSO
of course).

Kindle Publishing....You don't need any SEO, websites or any traffic....

I just ordered 30 more ebooks this morning and I can't wait to publish them!

This is the easiest and fastest way to make money that I know of, and i'm still waiting for someone to prove me wrong. This is the easiest way to build passive income and you can also build a list, a back-end etc.

I would suggest 2 things that you should really look into and see if it fits you:

1. Traffic Monsoon, a revenue sharing PTC + Traffic Exchange company. With only less than 10 minutes a day work, you will get paid hourly for the next 24 hours.

2. Project Breakthrough - A true step-by-step, most comprehensive video guided program that will show you how to make real money online in as soon as 14 days or less. It literally take you by hand to teach you all the basics to start making money online.

I actually wrote an article about the concept of residual income and the dangers of trading your time for money (linear income at a job)...

Here you go:

As salegurus states, there really isn't any real passive income methods. At the very least there is going to be some form of maintenance that is needs to be kept up with.

The only way your going to get true passive income from the internet that I can think of, is to invest as in a business as the money partner. You put up the cash and others do the work.

At the same time, there is no reason why you can't build a business that is highly driven by VA's and you just sit at the top of the pyramid and oversee things, greatly reducing the time needed to run the business. Granted this won't get you to zero work, but you can spend very little time for the money made.

You could read a couple of books on a topic you are really passionate about. For example "gaming".

Get really good content about the topic (download Google power search tool) & write an excellent report on the topic that you can give away on your gaming website in exchange for collecting your website visitors' email address(use listwire to automate this process for free for you). Then find vendor's online from click bank, rap bank, digiresults & other similar market places who offer you affiliate commission for promoting there digital products online. Make sure that they have email swipes for you to use on their affiliates pages as well as blog posts, articles and Facebook post & tweets.

Make sure these products are already selling like hot cakes that you intend to promote, by typing in "product name scam" into your YouTube search engine. Make sure you keep writing additional good free reports to give away as well to keep email list viewing you as good sauce of information on your topics of interest. Then copile your free reports into a book and list it for sale on amazon books (print & kindle formats ) Having a print book gets you viewed as a credible author on your topic of interest. Which in turn helps you make more affiliate sales without seeming pushy. Hope this helps you to start making some passive income online. It will take some initial work at first, but the rewards & experience from doing it will be residual in the end

Passive income? I guess you mean something you can put on the Internet, it stays there without you having to work too much and making you money. Well, for a newbie like you it would definitely involve some work befroe you're able to create something that would be making money on autopilot. If you want passive income you need to create something online first! In order to create something you need to work. Forget about doing almost nothing and earning money. That can be achieved but only after you work and create something that will be making you money. If you have money to invest then PPC + CPA offers is a good way. If you don't have money to invest then you can do something you're good at at Upwork.com. If you don't like providing service to others then you can create niche sites with Amazon links. Please note that this is easy to do but only if you know how to do it properly. Otherwise it takes time and energy. If you really want to skip the fluff and avoid snares along the way I suggest you find a person here who is already making money and pay him to show you exactly what he does to make money. You will jump 2 years ahead from where you're now instantly! I'm not saying this in order to suggest you should pay me!! But if you mange to find the person already making money online who is willing to show you how to do it - it will really save you from wandering cluelessly around! And it will allow you to make money the easy way!

Well I'm assuming you actually want to keep your website since enjoy writing for gaming. Well what I would do is start a membership site. Maybe charge $10 - $15 a month for specific gaming knowledge.

Then after you right your posts, use something like Buzz Bundle to get targeted traffic. You can so SEO too, but for gaming I wouldn't think there would be that many keywords.

You also could run Bing Ads directly to your blog, and monetized it that way. The main thing you want to be doing is building a list though.

You want to go in and build your list then sell your membership site to your list (along with affiliate products).

Yes Salesguru hit the nail right on the head.

Passive income is an 'Illusion'.

Yes you can make residual income but there is nothing that will just bring you money day in and day out without you constantly giving it energy.

OP, why not keep building momentum on your Gambling site?

Creating your own website and sell your own product might be good solutions for you. If you start selling your product and recruit affiliates to send you leads you can have a pretty successful business that generates the passive income you're looking for. It's not easy and won't happen on a click of a button, but it's a sound strategy.
