Make Money Online

Okey this might sound as a weird question for bloggers who do actually target passive income all time over the active income, well they do think that make money blogging can be categorized as passive income but they are wrong. But lets see what is passive income and what is active income.

Passive Online Income

As passive income we can categorize websites that are being set with a landing page from where we do sell products, for example Make Money Online eBook or any other type of product that does not involve us actively in setting up, shipping the product or even configuring something. It does not even include services we provide as that actually does require that we are active since we need to work in order to provide services. As passive online income alternative rather than selling products can be considered making money through affiliates, where you create a landing page, setup a PPC advertising campaign with Google AdWords or any other PPC campaign and get the traffic that is being sent to your PPC advertising campaign convert through your affiliate link and make money, easy enough (kinda).

Active Online Income

Active online income is same as having a daily job and you are being active in your work, apart that you have the commodity to stay home and make money from home rather than working for another person. As active online income I would call blogging, where you have to actually post daily, gather readership, be creative to sell through affiliate links and constantly work to improve your blogs traffic (organic or via referrals). Another online active income I would consider web design and web development, where you actually have to work and provide your clients with web design services.

Do you prefer active or passive online income?

Before you get even the chance to answer (like you do have the guts to comment) let me tell you what do I prefer. Active online income, and the reasons are simple. To achieve active online income you actually have to work, to do something, to read, to learn to test, optimize and get known with other folks. All this gives you that regular rhythem of living that you are most likely missing while sitting in front of the computer, but in a certain way you re compensate that time by learning something and actually doing something rather than just sitting and being annoyed.

To achieve your goal and actually make money from blogging you need to learn many techniques, as optimization of your site to bring maximum revenue, you need to also learn seo and drive organic targeted traffic to your website, you also need to learn some internet marketing strategies to promote your blog as well as to promote the advertisers or affiliates.

So what do you prefer, passive over active online income or vice versa?
