Can someone live from passive income over internet?

Define passive income.

It's definitely possible! And there are different ways you can do it. Just stick to one and keep doing it. Get really good at it.

Don't jump from one thing to another. For me, that was my biggest time waster. I've tried literally everything.

I personally chose Adsense and niche sites, using SEO as my main traffic source because that's what I started with and have been doing for years. Haven't reached $10k/month yet, but hoping to this year.

Kind of ... but when you look in detail, it always turns out not really to be "passive", doesn't it?

I have some articles "out there", that I wrote in 2008/9, that still bring me traffic and money, but they're not "passive income". I still have to check up on them, feed my autoresponder series a little, make sure that the products I'm promoting are still for sale, and so on. It's not really "passive" at all.


.

You can make passive income but things are changing all the time. I have sites and products that have been making money for many years now.

On the other hand I have had nice streams of income that suddenly dry up because something changes.

You have to keep up and check your stuff regularly, adapt as you go.

Sounds not too optimistic. No one can tell amount of possible income or proven method so far

Sure. Why not?

Share with you our numbers... why? It's irrelevant. And "how" we do it? So i can create another competitor who's doing everything that i'm doing.... for free? There's a reason people sell info-products online for a price over $0.

Put the work in.

I have many passive income channels. I'm always surprised when I hear talk of passive income being a myth. I can honestly attest that it is not. However, if you're a beginner, I would consider a more proactive income stream for now. IM is hard work; not an easy option.

Tom

It's very very possible.

I still work some... Because I love what I do.

But since 1995, I have made a very very good living in the credit card market. Actually a specific niche of the cc market.

I don't have a website. I don't do social media. I send 6 emails a yr to everyone on the list. Via auto responder....no broadcasts. All timed auto responder msgs.

I have sent the same 6 messages every year since 1995. Nothing has changed. I have a link rotator script thingy I have to update 2-5 times a year and possibly change as many as 5 links....lol. But I have gone as long as 2 years without even touching that.

I don't track stats, I don't have a help desk despite this being a very business to consumer setup.

The list has grown by double digit percentages yearly for some 20 years now without even having a website.

I would say it's pretty passive income. It can be done, but you have to structure your entire business to do it.

You have to work in evergreen niches with a super duper simple method of providing a service to people in some way that pays you.

It can be done, but very few are every able to put together all the pieces in such a way that it works for them.

There is some form of 'passive' income that you can live off for a little while but the Internet and people keep changing. So I don't believe that there is something that you can keep making money with indefinitely without taking some form of action.

May I suggest you find an affiliate product/s where they
pay you a monthly RECURRING commission, Which is...passive.

Build a squeeze page/s.
Send traffic to the page/s via free or paid
depending on your budget.
Gain trust with your list by using the product and
sending them a review (an Honest Review) of how it
has HELPED you improve your situation.

Rinse and Repeat.

NOTE: Most People already have a passive income, its called a...JOB!
Internet marketing is no different than a job, you don't work, you don't get paid.
The problem I SEE is the stigma attached with internet marketing, the scammers and
thieves who promote these get rich quick sites take your hard earned money and vanish.
Treat IM like a real JOB and it will pay.

Have a Sun Shiny Successful Day

Making money online is a business. And lets be realistic a business is NOT passive. You would still have to put work to keep the money flowing. An internet business is location independent but it is far from passive. If you are looking for passive income, make a lot of money on the internet and invest the money in stocks/shares - now that would give you passive income.

Definitely it's staring you in the face. This forum. Makes passive income from banner ads, WSO listings etc...

It looks like everyone has their own take on what is passive income, maybe the OP should reply with his definition of passive income.

Passive income is possible, but like others have said, active income is your best bet. If you only wanted passive income, you could set up a pretty simple system where you create an opt in page, build a list, set up an auto responder, and let it go. It would be best If you had some up front capital to push your opt in page at first.

No such thing as truly passive income on the Internet. Things change to rapidly. So, let's say you rank a bunch of websites and everything's fine. You're making money. Guess what? Google comes in an changes everything. Happens all the time. Online is not the place for truly passive income. As in it's going to be here working for you five years from now. Five months from now, maybe, but not five years. Better to learn to make money here and invest it in truly passive vehicles.

If you talking about passive income with ranking websites on top of G, i think you unable to do that these days due to Google always update algorithm.. You need to work hard in order to make living with internet income..

Thats my thoughts

surely u can build passive income online but you hav to put efforts in the beginning. Its like building your customer base which will purchase the same product month after month. Since you want to know how we're doing so, for me that product is Financial Freedom. If you can achieve success to help 5-6 people achieve Financial Freedom then your income is taken care of already. Help others and you will always live in abundance that is Universal law. wish u luck

Hmmm good question. Some people have correctly pointed out the true meaning of Passive Income.

I think the closest thing that is simplest to set up is reoccurring income because you only need to make the sale once and keep getting paid. But even then you need to keep working at it to find new customers.

It seems that the only way to truly make passive income is to get other people to do the work and you get paid. Maybe like vending machine hire.

expand your thinking guys...think outside the box. no one is going to hand you a passive income system. But i assure you, they are out there...lots of them.

i even have a small bit of passive income from some traffic exchange sites. that is income that keeps coming in...has for years with no end in site.

i havent touched that stuff for years other than to update a few links in some pdfs from a central link cloaking control panel.... takes me maybe 10 minutes 2 times a year. makes a couple grand a year. and yes, thats with traffic exchanges...that method everyone says cant make you money...lol.

most of yall are thinking the way along the lines of only the stuff yall have read in some pdfs. most of which were written by pretenders anyway to be honest.

to get to passive income, you gotta connect dots others are not connecting....mix systems, think way outside the box, do some things differently than what others are doing that is indeed NOT creating passive income.

i have well over 20 different systems that make me money whether or not i do anything or not. no refunds, no selling, no customer support, no marketing, no content creation...nothing.

just keep the hosting accounts and autoresponders paid up and cash checks. its very very possible guys. but you aint gonna learn how to do it from some wso you buy for $6.

i will outright tell you how i do it in the credit card niche.

1. i am an affilaite for lots of credit cards....mostly for people with good credit.
2. i only promote the credit cards that offer an introductory balance transfer interest rate for a short period of time. several of them offer 0% for 90 days.
3. these card issuers pay me between $20-$120 per new customer i bring them.
4. i ask people who signup for one of the offers to signup to my list and identify (drop down list) which card they chose.
5. based on that, my autoresponder system knows their intor rate will expire in 90-180 days and at that time it sends them another offer... for another card with an intro rate that pays me another 20-120.
6. so the customers keep moving credit cards and transfering their balances to keep thier interest rate super low. and i get a commission every 90 days or so...lol
7. since i i am under noncompete and cant have a site, i have a super simple 3 page pdf that explains things and asks them to tell their friends and family and get on my list so i can save them thousands in interest... they do this in droves.

all i have to do is a couple times of year do a little research and update the affiliate links in my link cloaking program (one place) with the best current offers.... the system does the rest.

that system has been running since 1995. i have changed autoresponders 2 times and that took a little work.... a couple hours. but other than that, i can update the links in about 1 hours per quarter...

i have to do almost no research really because the credit card companies almost always email theri best current offers because they know i can bring them customers.

they are still very happy with the new customers because some people never change and move cards so they get to collect thousands in interests once the intro offer expires... assuming the customer didnt change cards again. which happens.

no how many people are promoting credit cards out there? thousands. and i have been using the same system, the same emails, the same pdf....for almost 20 years now. nothing has changed.

put your thinking cap on guys... its out there.

one thing many of you need to realize is that most of the true top tier marketers are not in the IM niche and they are not selling you how to make money online guides. They are just making money hand over fist in lots of ways most of you have never even dreamed about.

most of the IM products are created to sell first and them actually working is a secondary benefit some of them have. but their first goal is that the product sell whether or not its quality information. that should give you a little something to think about before you make your next IM purchase.

Sounds like you need validation to start internet marketing doesn't it ? **** yeah you can make a living from it, to save you some time check out this guy on youtube, he teaches people how to do seo.

https://www.youtube.com/results?sear...zy+ass+stoner+

His seo techniques actually works.

I don't think I would count on AdSense if you are looking to pay your bills and put food in your children's mouths. There is definitely more than one word I could use to describe AdSense, a few, erratic, unpredictable, Unreliable, three words that definitely describe my experiences using Google AdSense over the last couple of years.

I can live on passive income from anywhere.

It's the getting someone to give it to me that's hard.

yes of course. It only takes 1 succesful website or Idea to give you a passive income for life..

If you can just crank out 2 quality websites are year, you are well on your way to achieving life time passive income

Of course, YES. Very many people live from internet income only without any other job. But before giving you any advice, can you tell me what you like, what you love and what you can do on internet?

Here's a pro tip:

There's no such thing as truly passive income.

What people call "passive" income is really "residual" income, and it ultimately takes more work up-front than just selling services.

Doesn't this also depend on what 'living' means, I believe that, where you live and your lifestyle needs to be take in consideration.

Some people can live comfortable with $10K per year others may need $100K, and comfortable is measured different according to expectation.

Instead of asking How much one is making, you could say what you want to make and for how long you desire to make this minimum per year

On defining passive income - my view of passive income is like a snowball:
You work hard and in the beginning there's little rolling around, but it gets bigger and bigger and every day of hard work adds to it. I think that Pat Flynn guy from SPI is a good example

Yes it is possible but you are much more likely to be able to build a full time income and then reduce your hours to part time. That is passive enough for me : )

Yes someone certainly can. It isn't hard at all but it does involve a strong "grind-it-out- mentality" and the ability to follow proven systems that work without trying to reinvent the wheel.

The problem most newbies have is making things more complicated than they are.. once you find a proven system... goals to motivate you to stick with that proven system... and the ability to bounce back when things don't go your way... you can most definitely make a living online.

I do it and so many other people in this very forum do it themselves as well.

Much success to you!

I forgot where I read it from, but there's a saying that goes "Get rich quick exists, get rich easy doesn't". So yes, it takes a lot of hardwork. My take on the issue, well... be prepared for changes. You build something, it may seems passive income for a while, but it may be short-lived.

It depends on what you do... if you depend on SEO, then suddenly maybe Google decides to do something and all your ranking disappears.

If you do advertising on Facebook, then perhaps Facebook introduce a new rule and affect you directly. The same goes for any advertising platform like Adwords, etc...

Email marketing was really good. It still works, but you have do it differently now. Back in the days, people used to expect your newsletter. But now when people subscribe to hundreds of mailing list, the response that you get is not as good.

A lot of things on the Internet changes, and it changes rather quickly.

Passive income, I would say yes... but how long can that stream provide for you, that's another question. I guess, what I am saying, with the Internet, even when you think you have a passive income stream, don't get too comfortable.

If you can fix your sales funnel, follow up sequence
And make your frontend and backend convert

Plus you know how to drive traffic

The i guess.. The answer is yes

Passive income? Most definitely! One of the most popular ways is to sell memberships to membership sites, and subscriptions to newsletters and magazines (they can be online or off). Another way, if you have your own products, for example, PLR eBooks or software, put them on ClickBank or one of the many CPA sites and recruit affiliates to sell them for you. There are probably lots of other ways, but may I respectfully suggest that, to begin with, it might be best to find a mentor who can advise you? There are mentors in every niche. Most don't give free coaching, but whatever they charge will be peanuts compared to what you'll make when you put that coaching into practice. Good luck!

Of course you can, but if you want true passive income you have to work your ass off to build an asset just like you would any other business or investment (real estate) ect...

My opinion... there is no 100% Passive income.... It doesn't really work as passive. Things today changing to fast....

I think you can with $1500/month.
I'm not making that though...

I will suggest you to find a niche that has low competition and prepare high quality content around it.Use amazon affiliate links in that website and also look for clickbank product and include that link as well. Use social media to promote the website .Getting traffic is the main thing.Once you get traffic you can see passive income. Hope it helps.

JOB <$5,000 per month

Passive income stream >$15,000

you tell me

The questions is makes no sense. Its like asking 'can someone live off of a job' .. well of course they can, but it depends, on the person and on the job.

By your question we know this hypothetical person is making income on the internet and that its passive.. so the real question is how much is that person making and what are that persons living expenses. Since we cant know this, we cant say if the person can live off their passive income.

I think your real questions is can YOU earn enough passive income on the internet to live off of. But again who can answer, no one, why because we dont know how much you need to live.

So a better question would be .. can a person earn XXX income passively online, in which case the answer is yes, provided you are willing to put in the work to get yourself to that level.

If you are looking for proof that you can make it on the Internet then you have come to the right place. the best advice I can give you is don't get overloaded with information, stick to one thing at a time, and finally Take Action!

Passive income is very possible with Online Marketing but it will take time and hard work. There is no much thing as a push of a button.

I have started to make passive income with apps recently its not much but it will grow . And i am working more on apps to get it better

Definitely so! The most lucrative way to generate passive income online is to have your own SaaS (Software as a Service) company selling services that online business owners need to run their respective businesses. Here are a few SaaS companies that make millions with this business model:

Aweber
Host Gator
HubSpot

This is absolutely doable and my advice would be to start small. Of course you cannot live off of a couple of bucks every day. But once you get one income stream started (even the smallest) it will launch your brain into other ways you can earn with other niches. Success leads to more success because it motivates and causes creative thinking. That's why even a small commission can lead to giant leaps in the passive income you earn.

I don't think you can ever do 'nothing' and get income..

For me, its about minimizing time and maximizing revenue.

Yes it is possible to make passive income over the internet. It all depends on the type of method you use. For example, offering a service online can be lucrative but it isn't passive since you have to trade your time for money.

Affiliate marketing or building a site can be a good passive income for most people since it's a set and forget method. If you are to create a passive income stream, think about the type of things you can do. For example, you can do email marketing, creating your own product or even starting 10 micro niche sites that earn you $50 a month.

Yes, why not?

There are plenty of ways to earn passive income.

But if you are asking about the online industry, it does have its restrictions since it is highly dynamic in nature.

Now, my question to you will be - what are your interests so that I can help you better?

1/2 of the world lives with passive income from the Internet.

I think it's possible, but only if you put in some real hard work to get there.
It also depends on how you're making this passive income, is it from programmes like Adsense? Well, then you'd have to constantly promote your website, so you won't lose your traffic. Is it from selling ebooks or products? It depends on what you understand by passive income and what are you willing to do to get there.

Yes, there is a way to earn passive income that will be enough to live. But let me tell you, it's not easy. But at the same time, it's not too hard either. You have to be committed to what you do.

I am a freelance internet marketer and an online author. In my case, I wouldn't say the income is totally passive. I write a post or 2 every week and that does enough for me. The underlying idea is to create a platform which has valuable content for the users. Advertisers will then find value in posting their ads on this platform generating income for you.

Well I guess that most questions have already been answered quite skillfully by the veteran Warriors so that I would only like to emphasize the fact that "passive" doesn't really mean doing nothing and just earning cash from previously done work (usually the sit back and relax strategy is just a marketing scheme and you shouldn't fall for it ... use it if you can, but don't fall for it), because anything needs to be mainted and checked on regularly. Personally I sold about 100 products with recurring monthly payment last month and normally those should guarantee quite a long and fine stream of passive income. However as with any business (or probably more so with the online model), about half of them dropped out already and a quarter of those asked for refunds as well, but even as such the "passive" cash that should come in this month from the still active subscriptions should be enough to pay the bills and even begin testing some new products in the process.

I'm doing copy writing for a video sales letter that offers membership sites with PLR rights. That could definitely be passive income if it's set properly.

Here's what I have to write the script about:

Good luck in your search for passive income.

Steve

Stop asking if it's possible because it's absolutely possible. There are thousands and thousands doing it in all types of different ways.

If you're asking "is it possible for ME to live completely from passive income over the internet?"...maybe.

It requires a lot of work, persistence, and education. So many things will come up trying to throw you off track. Much, much different than the handed-to-you, low variance road of a typical job. If you truly want it, you can do it, but you have to accept it for the risky, challenging road that it is.

I hate to burst anyone's bubble but by asking if it's possible and how are others doing if then chances are you lack the belief and faith to learn the skills and take appropriate action. If you knew 100% for sure you could not fail to attain your goal then you would take the necessary actions of identify a problem that a niche group of people want a solution to.

Then you would create the solution and put up a website to sell that solution and instead of being an affiliate where you drive traffic to other peoples websites you would grow an army of affiliates all investing their time, energy and resources in sending traffic to your offer.

But without the necessary burning desire, belief and faith to just do it you wouldn't even move a molehill much less a mountain. Instead you'll stand on the sidelines and ask others if it's possible.

You could live very well on US$1200 per month in the Philippines. Like Napolean Hill in "Think and Grow Rich" stated... What the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve.

The real question is: Do you believe it's possible for you? Because if you don't, you won't.

Nothing is 100% passive, you have to tweak and fix it from time to time

20 % of the world live with passive income from Internet!

It's definitely possible! There are many people who i know and others who are making full time income online more than they be making in the full time job online you dont have the limits you can do big $ here but you need to know what you want .
I personally making money using affiliate marketing i will not talk how much because of earning disclaimers and because my results are not yours and others but YES 100% You can live from this

Absolutely possible. Lots of people are actually doing that. Though not as easy as many may think, it takes lots of had work and dedication.

I personally know of persons who are doing great and earning tremendous amounts of commissions both at the front end and back end.

You only have to remain focused and always be smart.

Rgds.

Yes,

There is a lot of Millionaires who become Millionaires from internet, and there is also internet Billionaires.

Internet is just a tool, dont think that making money from internet is Magic or something special.


The best thing in internet is that you can create a business that work automatically and can generate you passive income, for me internet is the future and its the best way to become Millionaire.

Love.

You can do it. Many are doing it. You just have to set a goal for yourself and work at it. Say for example you set a goal that you will work toward making 100 per day everday what you plan on doing and how many hours you plan on putting in daily to reach this goal you can achieve it. 100 per day is a good amount to live off of and a good number to start working towards.

What would be a "passive income" means to you?

Passive income is possible but you need to put lot of strategic efforts to generate it. You require a business system which once set up and running, generates an income for you which is almost automated with very little or no work for you except maintaining that system or scaling that system.

And setting up that system is a challenging work though it is not that hard. You need a highly converting offer in an evergreen niche, you need a traffic generation process in place for that offer and a system to convert that traffic into sales. With continuous testing and tweaking, you can build this system in a niche.

When you get success with one, you can easily replicate the process to set up another one in the same niche or in a different one that is profitable.

That's what goes closer to the truly passive income.

Of course it's possible, there are so many people doing it. Only one thing you should know from the start there's nothing really passive, unless you inherit a couple million dollars. otherwhise you will have to put in a little effort one in a while just to make sure you remain up to date with everything.

Google is a company, it sells ads over the internet --> over a BILLION IN SALES

Warrior forum? is that an internet business? I think so definitely makes at least $100,000/month maybe more...
Probably the owner is gone long ago....or he has 1-10% of the business he's definitely on a passive income...

Ok,now the Internet Marketing... I just met a guy who made over $100,000 per month promoting an high ticket ongoing e-course... is that passive? It is, until the affiliate offer expires... and then it will not be passive but after that he will probably find someone else that pays pretty good.

I know that most people here think it's impossible, but as soon as you start meeting people, talking to them then you realize holly bizkit! It actually works... Where do you meet these people? Seminars (high ticketed), places they hang out... There are not many of them hang out here... Maybe 10-15% on WF...

But they don't usually show they make so much money, and even if they do... warrior forum people just yawn in disbelief... and say, oh, that's fake... and so on...

But if you ignore the bad noise on here you can find some GREAT info! I have found here good and bad... And I come back for more!

You can certainly make a living from a website, or online.

For me it took 8 years to earn a decent income and I then sold that business to reinvest. Taking what I learnt I am now building a new business online and hope to earn an income from it within 5 years. Sounds slow and maybe it is but from experience, it takes that long and 100% constant commitment and work to build something that has longevity and the ability to provide a solid passive income.

Yes definitely blogging can be your source for income. I have seen lots and lots of bloggers making good cash with blogging.

Of course there are many people who are living by working on the IM section. I fully depends on my Internet income since 15th April, 2011 till today. I think I am still good position rather than working as a JOB in a office. her I would like to suggest you, please start working in which NICHE/ section, where you are skilled. Without skill, you will not be able to earn money. If you are a fresh, please learn the IM first. You can learn the Web developing, Graphics design, SEO. Thanks

It takes some time to set up a permanent working system. But once done; it brings consistency.

I run some CPA offers that are truly evergreen...they make about the same amount every week +/- 10% and I have been running them for years. I have them set up in my mailer where they are just sent on a loop to a large mailing list. I have not automated 100% of the process to update the suppression lists. So once a week about 30 minutes of work is required. This is the closest thing I have to passive income. But if the mailings stopped, so would the income.

Most surly. Think of a the members that netflix has paying on a monthly basis. You can get a certain percent of the sale and each rebilling. Thats one example..

How about going out and building yourself your own affiliates and having them go out and make sales for you. Even in something like MLM which can build you a real nice passive income with a lot of dedication and work.

Honestly if you have a passion on what you like and you enjoy sharing your knowledge online with other. You can make money passively. Set goal and miles stones and you will eventually succeed if you dont give up!

Any business that generates "passive income" has to be maintained in one way or another. Even if you think you have a business that creates passive income you're still going to check up on it from time to time. Then is it truly passive income? Don't know.

An artist like Elvis who gets a kickback everytime his song is played on the air now that's passive income if you ask me. You want true passive income become a recording artist and make it BIG! I know easier said than done!

I have searched a lot about making money online. In my opinion this is the best. With the best education and help i have ever met.
