Hey TFB.. not to be intrusive, and if I am.. certainly feel free to ignore my comment.. but just curious if you could advise to how you ended up making some of the better income type of services that you use.

I blog quite a bit myself, and think I actually do fairly well for myself by doing it – but always looking for tips and information on how to increase my passive online income.

Thanks a lot, keep the great posts coming!!

@Barb,
thx for your nice words.

As for passive income, I’d say that you can build pretty much any companies to create passive income.

Rental properties could be another great options.

glad to see you around!

Nice teaser… Just picked up your feed. I get the passive income from advertising, financial assets, & selling products… am I missing any other source of passive income? Looking forward to reading m;ore of your stuff!!

This article is so refreshing, it was a real pleasure to read it!

The hardest part in passive income is the initial effort you have to produce, whatever this effort is (buy a property, setup a website or anything else). Once this part is complete, then you can relax and enjoy!

Of course, there is always some work to provide along the way (quite a lot in the case of a blog actually), but if you started your business in a field you like, this maintenance work should not become a burden. On the contrary, you will most probably have a good time!

Even if this income is far from covering all your expenses, at least it will cover some and maybe allow you to afford some extra comfort.

@ Youngandthrifty,

I’d take a great Starbucks coffee along with the cake, please

Great post!

No, I don’t think anything is better than passive income! Maybe passive income handed on a platter with a side of chocolate cake. =) It’s nice though that you get a notification for it. It’d certainly bring a smile to my face if the brokerages notified me that my dividends were paid out.

Congratulations on making a healthy passive income from blogging!

Great, inspirational post! I’m a long ways off from living off any passive (or dividend) income myself, but it’s an educational and rewardin journey I feel I’m on. Hopefully, I too, can be and feel as lucky. Cheers!

@Kevin
I actually loved the book Rich Dad, Poor Dad. I don’t really care if Robert is rich because of his book or was rich before. The book opens your mind to a different philosophy and I think this is what is the most imortant point!

@Mike
I think there is no limit on what you can write about finance. There are always news, new products, new strategies, new events. I’m sure I will still be blogging about finance in 5 years
